[b][i]Alexander Ascot[/i][/b]

After dropping a tired William back to his home, Alexander would say to their mother, Gilgamesha: "Don't let Will out of the house until I come back; bind him with the Ekindu chain if needed. This is because he'll put himself in danger if he gets free early."

A faint smile. "But the danger to him is about to go away. I will [i]make[/i] it go away."

Gilgamesha Ascot, her light blonde pony-tail shining in the moonlight, would say to her son as she brushed off some 'library dust' from her nightgown, "Be careful that you don't cause more tragedy and injustice in your quest; you are almost about to violate the law you took an oath to enforce. And Will...he may be sixteen, but he can make his own decisions on this matter."

Alexander dared to glare at his mother, but then said, "I am not losing my brother in order to save a person neither of us know. I would rather be the antagonist of his story - and other people's stories - than risk his death. He's sixteen, precocious, intelligent and he has the potential to do a lot of good later, just not now." His phone rang; must be Samoth coming up with the information sooner than usual. Taking said phone and putting in the earpiece so that no one can overhear what he was listening to, Alex would say, "Mom, I have to go. I love you, but again, he's not dying or worse under my watch."

And with that, he turned back to his car; he had returned Michael ([@Scarifar]) back to his home, and Vernon ([@CavnderOHeart]) back to his own place or wherever he wanted to go.

Once inside his car, Alexander took a few moments to put on his magic-resistant armor while getting out his non-lethal weapons. All the while, he was listening to Samoth and Vittorio talk. Samoth was making free with threats that would cause the latter to go berserk, the juvenile investigation officer knew. Good, because as much as Alexander didn't want to admit it, even [i]he[/i] sympathized a bit with Vittorio's circumstances. Heck, if his own family hadn't been threatened by Vittorio's vendetta, [i]Alex[/i] would be the redemption freak. But Vittorio had gotten Ascot obsessed with redeeming the Mephisto's student, and that put Ascot in danger.

And Alexander will not allow anyone to hurt his little brother, even unknowingly.
