Before I post with Jake again, who exactly is in the infirmary besides Damien and Max and assorted doctors and nurses? Is Aya there or is she in a different room? Anyone else?

Raijin, after we get done calming Olivia down and get her to bed. I'd think a small time skip is what Bee wanted. I doubt it'd be longer than a day or two. After the time skip we can do a collaborative post.

@AcerRo

If I have the time and you guys are willing, I may try to get involved in that colab. I had been considering having Nate throw Eli at Jackson and call it "Training" anyway.

"Alright, this has clearly gone far enough" said Nate as he pushed himself off of the couch. "Some might even say too far." He started to casually walk towards Olivia, seemingly paying very little attention to the two dog things as he went. "Olivia...Ms Delacroix. I apologise if I offended you. I wanted to get to know you better. To understand you. And I went about that the wrong way. Instead of just talking to you I fell back on my training which involves a lot of sneaking around. And yes, in the process of my sneaking around I found some things that I probably shouldn't have but I've alway had a problem with this 'personal space' thing people are always going on about." He was sure to put air quotes around the 'personal space' part and visibly sighed as though he was annoyed by the concept. "Blame poor parenting or the voices in my head. Point is, I'm sorry. And unlike you and Opie over here, you and I actually have to work together. So how about we start afresh?...And if it makes you feel any better, I'll let you rummage through my drawers too" He smiled but then thought about what he had just said and added "Wait...I meant...in my bedroom...I mean...You know what I mean."

He was only half sincere in his apology. Yes, he felt bad about snooping and had accidentally found something embarrassing to Olivia. But he didn't know this woman well enough to really give a damn what she thought about him. He just knew that it would make his life a hell of a lot simpler if she didn't see him as some kind of pervert. Fortunately for him, he was a highly skilled liar. It was part of his training in the military and was something he often had to employ in his line of work. Unless Olivia had some kind of sixth sense for lies, she probably wouldn't realize he wasn't entirely sincere in his apology. He had charmed his way out of more than a few situations in the past.

"So what do you say?" he asked, flipping the knife around in his hand and offering it back to Olivia "Can we start again?"

Typical. Jake had gone to the trouble of dragging the psycho's fat carcass all the way here and when they get to the door, the human wakes up, seemingly none the worse for wear. As if that wasn't bad enough, the human was now carrying him. Jake hated being touched, let alone carried. This was humiliating. He was far too tired and weak to do much more than grumble about it though. He should have just stayed in the park.

The glass in his body was painful but it was also aggravating. He knew that the second it was removed he would start to heal but at the moment he was still losing blood from the open wounds. At least he was bleeding on Damien. A little inadvertent payback for being OK after Jake had dragged him here for help. The dogs tail wagged briefly at that though.

The way the other man looked at him quickly put a stop to that. It was as though Jake wasn't fit to be here. Just some common street dog. Trash. "I oughtta bite you" Jake thought to himself as the blonde looked him over. Normally he probably would but he was too tired to even try. The pretty boy decided to take Jake to the infirmary after inspecting him. Huh. Maybe biting wasn't the answer to all his problems after all.

I'm not sure what to post so yeah.

@Archmage MC

Go see Jake. He's hurt and needs a chew toy (i.e Light's behind). Currently waiting for @GentlemanVaultBoy in that though.

Nate perched himself up on his elbows when a knife suddenly came within inches of his crotch. "Hey!" he complained at Olivia. He pulled the knife from the cushion, fully intending on throwing it back at her, but stopped at the sight of the circling dogs. Sure, he had snooped a little but going after his boys seemed a tad disproportionate in terms of revenge. If it hadn't been for Nate, this woman would had no hair left at all. "Of all the ungrateful..." He continued to mumble something under his breath as Olivia switched her attention to Eli.

He laughed slightly as she shot him with a fire extinguisher and used the knife Olivia had thrown at him to slice into his apple. He popped said slice into his mouth and sat up, not taking his eyes off of Eli and Olivia. This promised to be good. "Yeah, Opie," he began "Explain yourself--Hey!" His expression quickly shifted from a smile to annoyance as he realized the pervert she was talking about was him.

Nate let out a long breath from his nose as Eli brought up his military service. "Well fancy that, Opie. You're not as dumb as you look" he said. He failed to elaborate on the subject though. Truth be told, it was a sore subject for Nate. He had pictured himself spending a lot more years in the military. He had planned on a career full of medals and promotions. General Hunter. That was the plan. But that all gone down the drain and here he was...A self defence coach. This was not where he had seen his life going.

He tossed his apple up into the air, catching it over and over as he changed the subject "So what exactly is your plan here, Opie? Are you just going to eat all of this poor gals food? Drink all her wine? Maybe leave the toilet seat up?"

A thought just occurred to me after I posted that IC. Would Nate know about the plan to rescue Cindy and Eden? Was that ever mentioned to him? I mean it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he found out somehow. He does do a lot of snooping.

I'm willing to edit my post though if he shouldn't know about that.

Nate rocked his head from side to side for a moment, weighing his answer before saying "Oh I'm sure Ms Delacroix thinks it's good but she's never met me." It may have been a crass statement but Nate was never lacking in personal confidence. Some would even call him arrogant. Obnoxiously so. As he passed Eli and Eva, Nate winked at the young woman and then in one sweeping movement spun around and dropped down onto Olivia's couch in a lying position.

"So the boss man's pretty pissed, huh?" he asked "Understandable though. He's had a hard day....Someone should send him a fruit basket". Nate did feel genuinely bad for Cedric. He had been trying to do the right thing. Rescue a woman and her unborn child. Smack around some creepy bad guys. The problem was the reckless arrogance he had tried to do it with. It was then that a thought occurred to him. He had been hired to train a kid...Why not two kids? Maybe he could teach Cedric some better fighting moves himself. Maybe then he wouldn't get pwned by any more little girls.

I'll let them finish what they're doing and continue on with Eli for now. When Jackson/Kuro is free, there are plenty of other Legions around to begin his training. The real one's around somewhere.

I could really use Nate's power. I have a to do list a mile long. It would be so much easier to divide and conquer.
