Cassie was all together surprised when Lucien considering responded to her hug by throwing his arms around her in a all too tight, yet much wanted by Cassie, hug. She snuggled into his grasp, basking in the warmth of him against her. When he spoke to her, telling her to not leave him again, she nodded, looking up at him, "I'm not going anywhere, Lucien....I'm here to stay....no one is taking me away from you....I promise."

She snuggled more into his grasp when he hoisted her up into his arms and sighed softly in relief as she rested her head against his shoulder. When he carried her through the caves, she noticed how the humans they passed stared at them though she did her best to ignore the stares they gave. All she wanted to focus on was that she was in his love's arms.

Looking up him when he spoke to her, asking her what they would do now, she opened her mouth to speak, only to be cut off by Uncle's comments.A glare came to her face when he spoke, saying Lucien's life was nothing compared to hers. And then had the nerve to tell them to restrain him and chain her up. Her hands clung tightly to his shirt, and when the men tugged her out of his arms, causing her to hit the floor, she kicked her leg out hard, hitting one of the men in the legs as hard as she could, hearing a successful grunt of pain from him. Scrambling to her feet she saw the other man kick Lucien and grew even more angry. 

She moved forward and grabbed the man by the back of the shirt, throwing him back so that he slid across the floor. These men may have been strong, but Cassie was stronger. And more so, trained to disarm and hunt humans. She wasn't going to let these men separate she and Lucien. The man she kicked stood up and though he was limping went after Cassie again, going to punch her. The fist came not even an inch close to her face when Cassie grabbed his wrist and used that to twist him around, throwing him face first onto the hard cave floor, her foot on his back and pushing him arm up, threatening to push the arm out of socket. By this time Toni had quickly entered the lab, but stayed back, watching as his sister look at Uncle with that same stubborn and brave look she always had when fighting authority, even as a human, "You will not harm Lucien anymore. You were the one to send him here. If anything were the to happen to either of us, it would be on your shoulders. Not his. And you will not put those chains on me. I am not some animal. While I am indeed an Android I am still a person. I have thoughts feelings as well as having a say in what happens to myself. If you wish for my cooperation then you must treat Lucien and myself respectfully. Do I make myself clear?"
