Applause and the sound of camera flashes rang out as Theodore Noel de Villiers revealed his big find- [i]The Scepter of Dagobert![/i]

The whispered tone of Nick's voice seemed to match the level of admiration Thierry felt for his only son. It was charming, the expression Thierry caught his husband sporting. The true smile admittedly was a slight rarity coming from Nick.

The things the husbands had gotten into over their heads through the years, dealing with the likes of HiveMind... this was what it was all about. Having both his daughters with them during Theo's first archeological reveal. It was inevitably about family. And Thierry was nothing short of gratified for what his son was doing while the family was just beginning to heal.

Thierry caught a glimpse of both his daughters, his ex-wife, and even his brother-in-law. Everyone seemed just as enamored with Theo as he was. Was Sabrina wearing a [i]revenge [/i]dress? How had he not noticed sooner? But good for her! Thierry wanted nothing but the best for the mother of [i]all[/i] three of his babies.

But the moment of joy Thierry felt while seeing everyone's jovial approval, didn't last long- HiveMind had arrived. First Joy. Then Fear... [i]Anger[/i] will set in. But, not just Thierry. It all happened so fast that Thierry had just barely realized the scepter was glowing with dark purple energy. The same energy he'd seen in Khufu's tomb 7 years ago. [i]Shit[/i]. 

Thierry found himself shouting in unison with Nick and Aaron, "[i]Stella[/i]!" as the chaos grenade HiveMind had thrown, directly hit The Louvre. On one hand, it was nice to know the woman was at least still alive, even if she'd been augmented to hell and back. It was like a recurrent nightmare. A horror that he'd wake up from, then restlessly fall back into after fetching a cold glass of water.

Suddenly, an eerie string of words were prominent in Nick's mind. They started playing like a looped broken record.

Beating hard within his chest just after Nick shoved some slow runners out from under the falling chandelier. At one point, Nick did look in Thierry's direction, who had joined other Louvre agents rather defiantly, to protect his daughters. Slinging an array of bullets at the human intruders seemed like a good idea, but the beast from the underground facility caught Nick's fullest attention once he heard it threaten Theo.

Pulled out his doubles and started shooting at the beast. But with the smoke from the gas and Galloes in his head, Nick feared his aim was off and managed to choke out, "[i]Theo[/i]!" He was going to go crazy, was sure of it, but... this wasn't his first rodeo with certain levels of headspace. 

[h2][color=gray]"Put [b]Thierry[/b]..."[/color][/h2]
[h1]No[/h1]
The corner of his lip curled into a half smirk, "Hi, [i]Authority[/i]? I'm [i]Nick[/i]."

The young troublemaker mumbled out loud to himself- [i]to Von Galloes[/i], as he'd spoken. He was still shooting in the beast's direction, along with other Louvre agents not currently distracted by the human intruders. The infected agent continued his disobedience, "I believe we've met once or twice before. But we didn't get along very well, so do me a favor and [i]fuck off[/i]."

In the midst of reloading, Nick had finally made it over to Theo, "Are you okay?" Finding out if Theo was okay or not was the first order of business. The second? "You ever fire a gun before?" Nick questioned honestly as he fiddled with his Pequignet utility watch. Pulling out a semi automatic shotgun seemed like a good idea right about now.

The ooze tickled his nose right before a drip of red blotted his hand. Nick's noncompliance seemed to be having an affect of sorts. He started to feel light headed and dropped the shotgun back into it's slot within his watch, "Shit."

How could Nick protect this kid if he couldn't even keep from bleeding all over himself? The spinning picked up the more he refused to listen to the mental orders. Would he harm Thierry or vomit first? Nick looked up from his watch to a blurry Theo and managed to vocalize his full thought, "Protect yourself the best you can with what's in the watch, but don't become an agent..." before passing out.
