Benji glanced at Willa and turned up the television. “I saw the that girl at theater, Jane, she was amazing. Saved a lot of our people there, taking out scientists and their army left and right. No way she works for them so why should we be enemies? As for the break in it didn't really look like [i]Bobby[/i] but who knows with the right disguise anyone can look different. I agree though, we need to get away from here.” He said making sure to keep Maren's name away from it, he wasn't sure how well they could trust Paon and he didn't want to put her in danger if she was on their side. He went into the bathroom to shower and carefully cleaned his wound with some antibacterial soap. He rebandaged the injury and changed into fresh clothes. 

As he exited the bathroom the news had moved on to a story of bodies found near the motel they were staying at. One was suspected have been a bear mauling while the other stabbed with a piece of iron, they currently had no suspects or even an idea of what happened but it was suspected to be connect with the theater. “Well I'd say whenever we're all ready we should start putting some distance between us and this place. It's a big city we could head to the other side of town, maybe steal a car or something.” He suggested.

“Actually I had no caffeine this morning and no I'm not on drugs if that's what you're implying. I did have a wonderful hangover cure from Dr. West and I'm pretty sure it's given me more energy than large can of Red Bull.” Charlie said, awkwardly lowering his hand which had not been given the high five that he expected. He started thinking over her point about people stealing there personal information. “Well I'm pretty sure they have personal files under heavy encryption but they'd probably go after scientists and people who work more hands on with the subjects. You're probably safe from that sort of thing, safer than me at least.” He added laughing a bit, normally that would be something he'd probably worry a lot more about but today he felt very carefree and uninhibited. For a second he thought that was strange, it also felt vaguely strange that he felt none of the ethical concerns that had bothered him for the last few days. He quickly found those thoughts unimportant, it seemed ridiculous to worry about not being worried. "Anyway I'm running a bit late, we've got some big plans today." He said before heading off.

Charlie entered the room where Dr. West, Murphy and two other men from security who were even larger than Murphy. They stood around the bartender, a tall man who looked to be of Scandinavian descent, sat retained to a chair with chains, cuffs, and mask that reminded Charlie of Silence of the Lambs. The man spoke to them in a language Charlie didn't know. “Is that Swedish?” He asked Dr. West.

“I believe that would be old Norse.” West said sounding intrigued. He nodded towards Charlie who approached the man and attempted to draw blood from him. "What are you?" West asked. 

“I am Hod, God of Winter.” The man hissed in English with obvious sarcasm as the needle pierced his arm, froze over and the blood tube shattered. West began to chuckle and the others joined in with him. 

“What you think Doc? Ice Dragon? Warlock?” Murphy asked studying the man who reverted back to speaking old Norse. While Charlie couldn't understand the words he could hear the rage behind them.

“He's no dragon, I brought in an ichneumon earlier and it had no reaction. No, I'm thinking he's something even rarer.” West said before glancing at Murphy. “Our friend here looks a bit cold.” Murphy nodded and stepped outside the room for a second only to return with a butane torch. “We'll need a sample to confirm it, but I suspect we are dealing with a Jötunn.”

“He looks a bit small for a frost giant.” Murphy said.

“Tricks and magic, what else do you expect from these things.” West with a shrug and Murphy lit the blow torch. 

It was a couple hours before Charlie returned to his own office. They had spent quite a bit of time studying and working with the collected tissue samples that confirmed what Dr. West suspected. Everyone who worked with West was pretty excited about it, there were plans for new weapon developments. Charlie, being the geek that he is, was very excited by possibly working on making a freeze ray. Dr. West had told him not to call it that but Charlie was very excited about the plans.
