       It was a standoff. I could tell Lucas would draw on him, but that's only if he had his skim-axe, (which is a small, light weight axe with a short blade.) or his pistol. I for one had a rapier sword on me. And as i expect Lucas asked for it.

       "Emil may I borrow the rapier?" He said extending his arm in a gesture to have it.

       Without replying, I Handed him the sword. Now, I didn't do everything Lucas told me to do, I just like "stir the pot" a little from time to time.

       Lucas stepped between Henry and I, shoved me Back a bit, then pointed the blade at Henry. Lucifer slouched and put his hands in his pockets.

       Lucifer sighed. "And why are you doing this again, Lucas?"

       Lucas turned to him. "Henry. He has a killing tendency. I don't even know why he is here, but the last time he was, someone ended up dead."

       "Who?"

       "Of all People, Louie, i think you should know."

       "Are you referring to Michael?" Lucifer didn't seem thrilled at all.

        Lucas scoffed. "Yes. is it not obvious?"

        I gave Lucas a dirty look. "No Lucas, it's not obvious."

        Distantly above us, the crows where going nuts. Screeching, moreless. Probably not a good thing.

       Henry laughed. "You seriously want to settle this here?"

       Lucas went silent for a long moment. "You have a point." He lowered the sword and handed it back to me.

        I took it, and slid it back into the scabbard.

       Everyone was silent. It was almost awkward. Someone had a death wish, one was a death wish, an emo teenager, and a experienced mage. Fun. The Moment i thought that i couldn't take this any longer, someone called for Henry. Everyone looked over in the general direction. It was Robin.

          His hood was off now. Now he looked extremely familiar. Grey hair, Strange clothing, Jack Sparrow-like slow run. What the heck? Closely following behind him was another person. Blue hair. Why? No clue. He wore silver and white clothes. Very shiny. Blue eyes. And for some reason, the man didn't have a sleeve on his right arm. What?

        Robin came to a halt within moments of him calling. He stood about five feet away from everyone else.

       "What the hell is this? Gathering is about to start, and here you are. About to kill something, or get killed."

        Lucas went pale. "I wasn't going to kill him."

        A lie.

       "We have too much family drama." Lucifer replied flatly.

       The truth.

       "I can't believe i'm related to these people." Robin said just as monotone.

       Henry laughed. "I can't believe that you are their great grandfather."

       Lucas facepalmed. "I don't understand how he hasn't aged."

       "I simply don't understand this situation." I said almost annoyed.

       "This is stupid." said Louie.

       "I agree and i'm not even part of this." said the blue haired man standing behind Robin.

       "Shut up Chrome." Robin was somehow annoyed now.
