Icefire finished his mediations and went towards the room where Tempest was held. He motioned the two guards, who opened the door. "Mrs. Lee," he said. "Would you follow me please? I have some questions that I will ask you." He hoped to obtain information about Titaor, his lair, and his prisoners. "After the questioning, if you have sastifactory answers and I have received him, you will get your visit. Deal or no deal?"

Kim sat up from her bed and tilted her head at Icefire.
"Seems I don't have much of a choice." standing up she walked over towards him "Will I at least get something to eat and drink? I'm starved."

Icefire remained emotionless as he said, "If you will follow me...." He lead Tempest down to the lower levels, escorted by a team of mutant guards. Before they descended the stairs, Icefire ordered, "She is to be blindfolded. She must not see anything around her during this part of the journey." They placed a thick black scarf around Tempest's eyes and they continued their trip. They came to a secure dark room and went in. Then they took the blindfold of her and locked the door. Two guards flanked the door outside while another four was inside. Inside the room were a wooden table and two chairs. Icefire went to one of the guards and said, "Bring some food and a Perrier and whatever she wants to drink." Icefire hardly eat as he could just convert the thermal energy into chemical but occasionally he would eat and he did need to drink. The guard went away as Icefire sat down and said, "Take a seat."

Kim looked at the chair, before sitting down on it.
"Okay, I'm here. What is it you want to know?" she crossed on leg over the other and fumbled in her pocket. Bringing out her cigarettes she leant over the table "Got a light?"

"I thought I told you this mansion is a non-smoking zone," Icefire said, frowning at the cigarette. "I need to know everything you know about Titaor, Nemesis's brother. We know he is in charge of one of Apoc's experimenting centers. I need to know who is he holding, the blueprints of the building, and who is he exactly."

Tempest narrowed her eyes "Fine."
Looking over at Icefire, she pondered his questions.
"Titaor, bit of a brainless oaf if you ask me. Not exactly got it upstairs, but he wasn't recruited for his..finesse if you will. As for who's in the Pens he's located at. I'm not privvy to that information. He is under the charge of Abyss. I was under the charge of Sinister. We very rarely communicated unless we had too."
Taking a breath she drummed her fingers on the table lightly.
"Blueprints? How can I get you blueprints for anything when I'm confined here? I can tell you how to take him out."

"Enlighten me, then," Icefire said. The guard returned with a tray of food and a bottle of Perrier. Icefire took the tray, handed it to Tempest, and took the bottle. He cooled the bottle slightly and said, "They never get the temperature right for these things."

Raising an eyebrow at the tray, "You need someone light, quick on there feet. Quicksilver perhaps, Lensherrs son would be my option to use as a distraction. You will also need a heavy hitter, someone with the strength and capability to take someone of Titaor's strength down. Anyone will do."
she looked Icefire dead in the eye
"It won't be easy, he may not be very smart. But he is strong and can handle himself in the field well. You will need immediate back up. Just incase Abyss is there when you plan on taking him down. I have one question though. Why so interested in a lowly Prelate like Titaor? Surely you should be going straight to the top. Cyclops, Havok, The Baubiers, the Guthries. Why him?"

"He's on my list," was Icefire's only response. "That's it? So you have no idea about his lair or prisoners. Very well. Guard!" He called for one of the guards.
"Yes, Icefire?" he asked.
"Allow her to visit her friend. Thirty minutes max. After that, escort her back towards her room. She is to go to his room to talk, understood?"
The guard nodded and Icefire turned towards Tempest and said, "Thank you for your time."

"30 minutes? " Kim sighed and followed the guard "So generous" she mumbled as they made there way back up to the guest rooms.

Lucifuge lay on his bed, sleeping as usual when a knock awoke him.
"Your getting a visitor."
He grunted and sat up on his bed wiping his eyes.
"Who?"
"Your friend."
John smiled and streached his arms out wide and cracked his neck.

Kim stood outside the door. Her room was literally a 5 minute walk away. Both sets of guards acknowledged one another and one of the guards to John's room took Kim by the arm as he unlocked the door and opened it.
"There, 30 minutes" he sneered and pushed her into the room.
Now she was here, everything she wanted to say to him was forgotten.

Lucifuge looked up and smiled.
"Hey. I hope their treating you better then me."
He patted the bed, shifting over to make a seat for her.
"So what's happening on the outside?"

Kim stood at the doorway, taking it all in before walking over and sitting next to him.
"Depends what you mean by better? I've had one lousy meal, a wine that was vile. My rooms window is boarded up. I asked to see you time and time again. I gave them everything they asked for in information..still nada. Now they give us 30 minutes?"

She slumped over, draping her arms over her knees.
"I had so much to say, now I don't know where to start"

Lucifuge laughed a little.
"Ah well, I told you to stay back there."
He placed an arm around her shoulders, trying to comfort her.
"Well what did they ask you? What information did they want?"

Kim looked up at him "Where else was I gonna go?"
She sighed and ran her hand through her hair "They wanted to know about Sinister and for some reason Titaor. One thing though..." she took a deep breath "I thought if I told them about the Sarcophogus. I'd get out quicker. Guess I thought wrong"
