Lexei looks lost saying
"I watch humans then did"
Leading out of the lounge towards the corridor once more just past the steps is a hidden meddi room behind wood panels, further along to the Japanese sliding doors leading to a large gym, dance room and music room. There's new Japanese style steps next to the music room that leads over and up to the second storey,
Report asks

Lexei giggles saying

"This way humans, we have library"
The second floor also holds the second storey of the library that held books a donation from a English man who wonted his broad private collection not to be destroyed, the bottom level still empty.
As they enter and the reports look around Sol said
"An English man donated to her, he past but won't his private library to go somewhere"
Lexei purrs saying
"The porcelain cat and dog lamps come from London, a gift"
The first storey fairly empty at present, but Lexei is content for there's room to grow, the damage wall on the bottom level to the library now replaced with glass panels of doors that swivel open and close, report asks
"Where dose Lexei sleep?"
Sol growls out
"I would rephrase that!"
Report node's saying
"Sorry, could we see your bedroom?"

Sol shrugs saying
"Growing space"
Report
"Sol said last time we were here, riding a horse would look normal in here, but it looks homey now"
Both glow and purr a report asks
"Is this normal for you two?"
Sol softly saying
"Yes very and ever since the fight we're more together more.."
As sol trails off Lexei continues
"Before it was falling with no ground,
just him and you, now"
Sol contues
"We give zero shits on the falling we are one, we are carmer and fearcer"
Lexei content tone
"We are each other and us as long as that stands we are carmer"
Report
"But this can also pose problems for you two yes?"
Sol looks down saying
"Yes very, no one know really on the fight, Crimson report, I never addressed the rhumas about what happened"
Sol takes a moment then said softly
"Let's talk more in the lounge"
Turning and leaving with Lexei following close behind, once everyone was down in the lounge Sol continues saying
"Crimson report, simply put, we were dieing, papa and the people that followed him, save us"
The reporters gasps, some are brought to tears, Sol gently saying
"Hay now don't cry, won't a hug hmm"
After hugging some of the reporters Sol sate back down as a report asks softly
"This is a shock, Sol we know of your determination, but Lexei, you have multiple Della's, which is unhuman, we don't even teach it in school any more, but we are humans and have limitations, thus we can only ever hold one Della, hundreds of years, this is fact, we can't even hold a power greater then our own strength, witch is why Della argument marriage came, but Lexei you defie this and almost died?"
Sol node's slowly then said
"Everything with Alexei, she is made to be a God, she was made to surpass humans and there Della's, it doesn't mean we don't suffer, cry or get hurt"
Lexei gargle said
"We owe our lives to God, Keller. To the medical humans that listen to him"
Report
"This comes as a shock in many ways, Lexei did Sol weeken you? Or were there other course"
Lexei hissed as Sol stands ripped in light as the room glows with a thickness in the air that pulsated saying codly
"I did shit to her!, we saved you humans!!"
Lexei appears infront of Sol's clinging to his cheast as she said softly
"I was made to withstand a lot yes,
but am human at core."
Sol shys collapsing to the ground with Lexei in his tight grasp saying softly
"Kitten I need a break before shit go's wrong"
Lexei nuzzling his neak saying
"We need God hmm"
As she finished a portal opened up and Keller steps in saying codly
"Who the fuck did you malle?!"
Looking at the duo on the floor that notable softens, Sol seems to be able to breathe again as a reporter said
"We ask about the fight, if Sol was the reason they got so..um"
Keller said coldly
"Almost died"
Sol loses his grip on Lexei, looking to Sage saying
"We just need, I need, talking is a lot"
Keller node's saying
"My house shits"
Not even a moment later a portal opened to Keller's lounge room Keller only pop his head in simpley saying
"Were using the castle, 5 minutes move"
Next anyone knew there are people coming through the portal trays of preped food in hand, all giggles and talk, Sage kneeling infront of the duo saying
"Sol what happened?"
Sol takes a shakey breath and Lexei said
"We almost died God, how are we ment to be"
Sage coldly said
"You locked me out! everyone out and took on Endgame, after taking down a small army of other top villains"
The dou now snuggled to each other softly crying Sage shiys as he pulled them to him saying softly
"Come now, no more tears, your alive, let's move forward hmm, if you need my words you have all of them"
Phoenix is heard next saying
"I just got you both and almost lost you because your idiots, really!"
Lexei whines saying
"I'm try hard with humans Nix"
Phoenix rolls his eyes saying
"Try in the first place, stop drawing lines so dam much and you maybe you.."
And he storms off outside as Sage looks to the lost report and said
"My youngest son Phoenix"
Then looks to the duo he still has in his lap saying softly and sternly
"Bakeneko you can't unlearn a life in a day, but we're here, I know shit with you two moves so fast, but I'm here dam it"
Sol snots saying
"Try and be us for fuck sake, we can't seem to catch a break!"
Cooper is suddenly heard saying
"Well stop trying to catch if your no good at it, learn or do something your good at"
The star crossed duo start to laugh little lighting on there skin gigging with them, Sol smirks and Lexei asks
"Oh can you catch?!"
Cooper doesn't have a chance to respond as Lexei disappear and reappeared in Cooper's arm's, Cooper manage some how to catch her saying
"Oh dear I could of dropped you"
Lexei just purrs in Max's grasps as Sage scoops Sol off the ground and to the sofa as Max with lexei sit beside them, then Sol saying brocken
"Yeh it was bad, we used each other, it's the only way we got thought it, or more accurately, how we eliminate the threat"
Report asks carfly
"The fight?, can you alabrat?"
Lexei hmms saying
"With most it was only my star that seen"
Reports gasps once more as one try's to ask more about the shocking resavtions
"Holy um, you couldn't see?!, like anything?"
Lexei node's saying
"Nothing, after even not good"
Sol said
"We new we were pushing, but we didn't think we had options"
Lexei in a rare reserve tone said
"I can handle a lot, we can, but that fight was beyond us simple"
Sol node's reporter asked
"This is a shock, Sol your well trained even got your hero licence early and Alexei you seem to have no limits, Sol exsplan earlier that you are ment to be beyond us, even your Della names are daunting, but was Endgame really that powerful?"
Lexei gargled saying
"Dumb humans"
Sol simply adds
"Yes and we took on more then him with a barra and teleporting humans away"
Report asks
"This has come up often, you could teleport elsewhere, why didn't you?"
Sol takes a breath before saying softly
"We were scard shitless, but to let him go scard us more, he had Raven in his grasps, who next, even if it wasn't our family it would of been someone else's"
Lexei wispers softly
"Yes it was going to be someone's human so we made choice of us"
Report
"So you made the choice to self sacrifice yourselves? are we understand that right?"
Lexei purrs saying
"Yes, the next human may not even have choice"
Report
"Being star crossed, it's said you become protected over each other, this didn't play into the fight?"
Sol laughed as Lexei said
"I killed human with his own arm, yes human it did"
Sol smirks saying
"But we put up a barra and teleport everyone away because we made our choices earlier, we decided before shit got so bad, we weren't going anywhere dam the consequences."
Report
"Sorry I'm not sure how to ask.."
Sol cuts in saying
"It won't be like before, papa's hear and we're carmer, just fucking say it"
Report node's asking
"You say you made the decision to sacrifice yourself, but the first intersection was Endgame shattered Lexei's face. Would you not react to that with no time for further thoughts?"
Sol shys as Lexei gargled grawl disappearing out of Max's arms and reappeared in Sol's, he said softly
"It's ok Kitten"
Taking a deep breath, Max just moves closer to his husband and children wrapping an lovingly are around Sage shoulders as Sol said with eyes closed
"We don't work or think like you, the fight made that fucking apparent. Yes I punch Endgame because he hurt my Kitten, but when I went to her we weren't talking, but we knew everything we wonted. It was then the barrier wasn't for safety of humans, but protection for them"
Report
"You said before you can feel each other, fears become one. Can you alabrat on your relationship in regards of feeling and knowing?"
Sol node's saying
"Overwhelming, fuck to feel your fears and hers, that first hit Alexei took, she should of been down with that, but she was using my eyes and Kitten knew I wonted her to stay out of the fight."
Report
"It wasn't just fear you felt right?"
Sol node's saying
"Pain so great I think I could be skinned alive and not screem"
Report
"Sorry just so we're clear, with all this, the pain, the sorrow, you choice to save us, humans?"
Sol giggles saying
'Yes, we Alexei and Sol Jackson chose to give our liver's to take down Endgame and his army, dam clear enough?"
Report
"Yes very, thank you"
Report
"Lexei thanks Keller, but we seen a conflict between some of your family, can we ask?"
Lexei anwaer this time saying softly
"I was made monster, be monster, if family and friends safe, less worried. But like most, there are many customers and humans ways, me and us"
Keller smiled softly at Lexei saying
"She was made to be a monster, so even know as long as her near and dear are safe, she's ok to be everyone's monster, but some of the family don't condon such ideas, she's still learning and growing with Sol by her side"
Report
"We see, do you regret your actions?"
Sol shrugs saying
"Fuck yes and no, Endgame was a Oni in human skin, what he's done and what he was going to do, I'm glad he's dead, not a phrase to speak lightly, but ture"
Report
"Can you alabrat on your regret?"
Sol wipe a tear away saying softly
"The only known we had was we were going to die together and Endgame wasn't living alive, but we seen humans week and needing us, not that we could need them just as much"
Lexei wispers brokenly
"I never need or had humans as help always look at like I fix, I'm wrong tho"
Report
"Sorry we think we understand.."
Keller wave a hand saying
"Lexei never needed help and when humans are happy to tell you your a monster when it was outside influence that made you so. You stop asking, you stop expecting humans to be different, it doesn't stop you from being you"
Report
"Thank you Keller, Lexei why was Endgame after you?"
Lexei shrugs saying
"I was never privileged to master information, but I'm an experiment, humans can think"
Sol
"Imagine Kitten and a man that go's by master really shouldn't raise children"
Report
"Can you alabrat on your past Lexei, if you can?"
Lexei hmms Sol saying
"The experiment started before she was born, her only continues to the world was books."
Lexei node's saying
"As said I was never privileged to master information, he would chang me,
take away 'faults' "
Report
"Where is this 'master now?, you used the past tens"
Sol grawl the report adds
"You don't need to answer"
Sol and Lexei
"Papa God"
Sage holds the duo tightly saying flatly
"Sorry, he's not upset at you. Lexei master is dead, when Russia hero's found the castle they did a secret raid. He put three builts in Lexei before shooting himself"
Report
"This is why she's not good with us, the experiment, the man. Dose she resent humans for his behaviour?"
Lexei shakes her head 'no' saying
"There was only one master, master was master, humans are definitely"
Sol saying sweetly looking to Lexei
"She can smell you, chemo signals, aswell as body language speaks loudly, but being what she is, she hasn't seen the best in humanity or smelt."
Report
"This was in the last interview, Keller try to talk to Lexei, she said they should fear her. You use this as a shield of sorts yes?"
Lexei gargled whines saying
"I was wrong, I've been right but God and my stars humans are special"
Sol giggles saying
"There not my humans, it's Tokyo, Japan"
Keller following up
"Russia isn't you, but you are from there, see bakeneko"
Lexei node's saying
"Your Tokyo Japan humans are special, I'll keep trying with them, patience"
Sol smirks
"Please be patience"
Report
"Sol maybe, Lexei her speech isn't perfect. You address this last time, but in this interview we have noticed more so, can you elaborate? Is it becauseof the fight?"
Sol smirks saying
"Not the fight, she's never been schoold and she's from Russia. Kitten as smart as me, she sings fine, but her speck is simple, she can't understand why you would stand there asking for someone to 'fuck off', if you hiss humans will run"
Everyone giggles at this as a report asks
"So purring is a positive and a growl is a negative and a whine is sorry, right?"
Lexei purrs as a report node's saying
"Good enough anwaer for me, thank you Lexei"
Report
"What next for you two?"
Sol snots saying
"Fuck nows really, I'm starting to think plans breed hope and we all know where that go's"
Keller codly saying
"Breeds external misery"
Lexei happily saying
"Talking about misery and humans we made magazine photos"
Report
"The photo that Keller posted is apart of this set?"
Keller node's saying
"Three very different packages, pick an envelope"
Jesters to the coffee table with the three envelope on it, the magazine people grabbed one each and a report said
"Thank you for the tour and the canned interview like usual"
Sol node's as he stands putting Lexei back in Sage's lap
"Your welcome, please we'll do another, hopefully not regarding something we destroyed, hugs?"
Sol hugs the reports without any problems knowing his Kitten is safe with papa, after the hugs a report said
"Thank you for the photos"
Another report node's saying
"Yes Lexei, thank you for the save, please keep well"
Lexei purrs saying
"Humans can I take you some place?"
Report
"Just Jank's would be good"
Report
"Yes please that's where we parked"
Lexei made a portal back to Jenkins and said
"This was good humans, come"
Sol adding
"Back, we would like if you came back"
All the reporter node's bidding farewell as they went through, Raven walking up saying
"Hmm thought you would make a portal here somewhere here"
Sol node's as Raven stepped through and the portal closed, Keller said
"Were all outside, come"
As he stands scoping up Lexei on the way and walks outside, the marble floor that is now a deck because the rest of the castle is missing, only small changes had been done, outdoor kitchen with an eating area under a tree by the left side and a large
lounge area infront of that, the right been left open for dancing.
The lantern from china where scattered around the garden, some hang from the tree and some where around the deck, it looked truly magical, Davi asks
"You looked terrible when we come, are you ok?!"
Sol node's saying
"Yeh, just released we almost become dead idiots"
Liam looks vexed saying
"And this just acourd?, really"
Queenie smiled trying to break to tension
"Go's to show you can't be pretty and smart"
Adi gasps saying
"Speak for yourself!, I do both perfectly well"
Phoenix flatly said
"No there the worst kind of dumb, to smart for there own good to make sense!"
Lexei whining saying
"The world can hate me but not you"
Phoenix shrugs saying
"I clearly don't hate you, we speak and this is the problem. You see things so simply, hate, love, dead, alive, there are so many shades in-between"
Mi node's saying
"He has a point, I was with a man, a relationship, but he was not my parabatai."
Valerie saying sweetly
"Yes sweet, you know why I can't hate a man that hurt me?"
Lexei shakes her head no Valerie continues
"Because he gave me Davi"
Lexei makes a gargle sound saying
"I can't say I'm human, but I have said I'm human at my core, it's all I have"
Raven saying
"And that's perfectly fine, just know we humans can help as well, both of you know that right?!"
Sol and Lexei starts to glow and purr as they nodded both saying
"We will, sorry truly"
The night go's by with family by the duo's side, enjoying the normalcy that they always bring in ubbnormal situation that is just there life.
