-Alex-
Alex turned to the newcomer with thick brown hair cascading down her back, and gave her a polite smile. "It is nice to meet you too, I am Alex Moriaty," he said, inclining his head. Lifting his eyes to her face, he noticed her hard eyes that reminded him of Katherine Kingsley's. The similarity between the two was striking, though not in the way one may expect. Katherine, with her dull red hair mixed in with gray pulled up into a tight bun and severe countenance actually looked extremely different from Delilah and her youthful features. However, the way they held themselves, the way their faces stiffened and the aura of authority that emanated off from both was apparent.

Turning back to Katherine, he took note of the way her eyes did not soften for her granddaughter. "It's fine Delilah, though please try to be punctual next time," the elder Kingsley said tersely. Clearly, she did not appreciate tardiness. Her sharp voice snapped Alex out of his daze. "Alexander, how is Margaret?" she asked, and he was reminded of his sister all over again.

"She's doing fine," he replied just a tad testily. Katherine nodded.

"Good to hear that," she replied, her voice not betraying any of her emotions. Alex sighed and remembered his sister who was nothing short of a 'prodigy' among the hunters, just as Delilah Kingsley was. Though, there was something very different about Delilah and Margaret. Delilah seemed quiet and a bit studious, and not very open to outsiders. Margaret, on the other hand, was a headstrong and hot-tempered girl, who enjoyed going spending time gossiping with some of her friends when not out an about on the streets of London. Alex felt dwarved by both girls, and he chewed on his lip. Alex was hoping that he'd be able to make a new start at Kingsley Manor. It seemed like he'd never be free of his reputation of Margaret's lesser sibling after all.

Vanessa stared out the window at the looming skyscrapers that were coming into view. She gazed out at the towering buildings in awe. They were completely different from the spaceship she'd grown up in, or the little rundown huts she'd seen on some of the planets where the ship had occasionally touched down. A rude honking sound brought her back to reality, and she glanced guiltily at Heretic and Genesis squished awkwardly in the seat beside her. "S-sorry about that," she stammered out apologetically. Taking a breath, she re-focused her attention on the road before her.

As she clumsily maneuvered the car through the twisting streets of some city that she hadn't bothered to remember the name of, Vanessa surveyed the two other passengers. Heretic was as calm and as taciturn as usual, and Genesis was unusually quiet for the time being. Vanessa briefly thought of 'Isabella' sitting in the trunk and the side of her lip twitched, threatening to break into a grin.

Finally, finally, she reached the casino. Vanessa took a moment to gape up at the humongous building, and she shuddered, thinking of the Four Horsemen who were supposedly plotting away somewhere in the skyscraper. Snapping back to the situation at hand, she drove the car into the parking garage, and found the closest spot as she could to the exit-which wasn't very near the exit anyway. The garage was packed.

When Vanessa pulled the keys out of the ignition, she leaned back and let out a sigh of relief. "Thank a deity of your choice that's over with," she muttered under her breath, closing her eyes for a second, then reopening them.

"So, guys," she said, eyeing Heretic and Genesis, knowing that they'd be grateful to untangle themselves from each other. "Was my driving terrible, or was it terrible?"
