Desmond took out the medicine. "Tiffany, stay with Lydia for a bit. I have to go get something done real quick." He ordered and went into the basement.

"No. 0? Are you still okay?" He asked unbothered. Jette layed on a small mattress. She seemed relieved at the sight of the medicine. "Dear, don't you dare die on me. I won't be able to take other children like you as easily." He said grabbing her chin forcefully and feeding her the medicine. She imidiantly layed down to sleep and sooner than later drifted off to sleep.

Desmond tucked her in and went upstairs again. "I'm back." He stated and sat down at his kitchen table. "Sis, can you come here for a second? I want to propose you to an offer." Desmond exclaimed and when Tiffany took a seat in front of him, he began to speak. "See, you're a genius like me. I have had a bad life, which you are aware of... But that's over now. I'm creating an army of people that feel similar to fight the very god that has forsaken us all. We will kill him, take over his power and make our own world... Our own lifes... No suffering..." He mumbling. "Your genius would be perfect for our army. We would be unstoppable if we combine our talent." He gave her a moment to think about it. "What do you think?" He asked.

Tiffany looked at her hands. It was her brother. She could trust him, right? Besides, her life was already perfect, she got nothing to lose. "I'll do it!" She exclaimed. "I'd love to help you, brother. If I can be of such help to someone, why would I decline?." She stated.
Desmond was pleased. "Then it's said. I'll strengthen you all. It's time in my opinion." He said thoughtfully. "You see, when I was young, I invented something that activates your powers sooner.. more stronger...and I used it on me... I can corrupt you with my ability, to strengthen you... I can make you powerful... But you're not allowed to show much of the corruption in public, I don't want anyone to know..." Desmond explained calmly.

Tiffany nodded. "I wanna do it! Anything for you..." She muttered, a little unsure. Desmond took a scalpel. Tiffany got scared. "What's this? Surgery?" She wondered concerned. "I have to put my blood in yours.. hold still... This will only hurt a little." He said cutting her arm a little. Tiffany let out a pained scream but tried her best holding on for her brother. Desmond then cut himself again and took some of his blood smearing it on Tiffany's wound. She winced again, after all the process was painful.

Like with Gabriel before, Tiffany's affected limb turned black and deformed slightly. Her pupils changed as well. She winces and looks at her brother fearfully. She had to do this for him. It still hurt.

Desmond slowly hugged her. "The pain is gonna fade soon, don't worry." He assured her and started bandaging up her wound.

"Desmond." Lydia suddenly called out. "I also wanna do it. If you're gonna do it to every member anyway, why not let me go fourth?" She asked smiling at him. Desmond was surprised at Lydia's determination and chuckled. "Well well, if that's what you want then why should I decline~."

Desmonds wound was still bleeding enough that he didn't have to make another one. Lydia took a blade and cut her left arm and leg. "The more the better.." she laughed with a pained expression. Desmond was quick to infect both wounds and gave her a small smile appreciating her efforts. "Just informing you, no backing away from the army. You're affected now, which means it's serious now. For that you have my deepest respect. You two are the first people that let me do that to them willingly. I already tested my abilities safety on Gabriel. You should have nothing to worry about." Desmond stated and grinned.

"I should call in Rachel and Michael later in aswell. They could also need more strength." Desmond muttered and then bandaged his own wounds and went to get a coffee in hus kitchen.

"Lydia how does it look with Ethan?" Desmond wondered. Lydia chuckled. "Awesome. He was in when I told him we were gonna hurt a god. He has the color of stripes you have. He's a greedy person, haha." Lydia claimed and leaned against the kitchen counter.

"Oh Lydia, how lucky I must be with you as my partner in crime, huh?" Desmond praised her and drank a sip of his coffee.

"Finally my plan has a starting point, we can go into the second phase soon enough and then it's time to show [Redacted] who's the actual god here~" Desmond exclaimed.

He had already gained control of 2 members and a stranger so far....
