Darius was surprised by this appearance, but smirked and spread his hands as, if a welcome.

"Nick Hassant I presume? Welcome to my modest hideaway, I am surprised that you have found me first. Not my way of doing things, but you are certainly welcome unless you are here to start trouble?"

Mari resumed her position on the bed at Darius's words, the chair settleing back in place, however her hand did not unclentch, a sure sighn that the chair could and would move at the slightest provocation.

"Well, Darius," Nick said. "If I really wanted to start trouble, I wouldn't announce myself, now would I? Is this your hideaway? Fairly impressive. Anyways, to business, which is why I'm here for. I have developed a machine that is capable of amplifying mental powers of mutants. If I were you, Mari, I would put that down. Anyways once it is completed, I am able to induce hallucinations on a large scale. This allows me to induce panic among London. And you can guess the outcome of that. The mistrust and collapse of the government. Anarchy reigning in the streets. The very likely power vacuum that will emerge. And its new leader. A mutant one."

Darius stared at Hassant with eyes wide open with a disbelief on his face.

"A mutant government? I like the sound of that, but what proof do you have to back up your claims and that you are here telling me this I presume you seek us to be your allies.... possible members of this new government of yours?"

He asked with a clever smile while he stretched his fingers.

The chair landed with a defiante thud, daem, he must have been following them for ages. "What about HYENA, won't they try and take power for the good of mutant and humankind?" she asked with a slight scowl.

"I'll be coy with you," Nick said. "I have no desire in running governments. I'm simply tired of this government, run by humans. If you want to become the new leader, by all means, I'll support you. In fact, that's why I am here. I was able to find all of the equipment necessary for my machine. But what I do need are people that can help enforce the panic. My powers are limited to sneaking around in the shadows. I don't have any powers that can burn acres or kill someone with a thought or incinerate water. So here's my deal to you. Help find some allies for this and I'll support you if you ever desire to become the new Prime Minister. And if you want proof, I can show you the machine. But not until I have your promise that you won't, at least, interfere with my plans. The Mutant Surveillance Ministry and HYENA are quite enough for me."

"Sorry, could you explain how thier enough for you?" she asked, not in the least intrested in the goverment idia, that was Darius's affair if he wanted, she'd hapilly do his bidding but she didn't want the probelems of running a country.

Darius raised both of his hands in the air as a sign of agreement.

"You have my full support, but we will have to see about that prime minister perhaps..."

He mused with an amused voice and gazed at the laptop.

"I wonder.... you don`t have a list of potential enemies or allies do you? Because just so happens I have a roster of mutants, stolen from The Mutant Surveillance Ministry database. It might prove useful to you as well"

"My codenames Kaylee" she smiled in agreement, dropping her defensive attitude now she knew they were on the same side.

"I've seen their roster of mutants," Nick responded coldly. "I've hacked into the Ministry. And most of the mutants that are registered are either HYENA or mutants that they have captured, imprisoned, and likely currently being tested. I have the ability to break into those prisons but not the leadership ability to lead them."

"I Asha," said Asha, when Brody was done introdosing himself, "Nice to meet meet you."

"Leave that to me"

Darius said with a confident smile as he opened a number of files about captured mutants that would prove worthy to their cause. Darius chckled to himself as he began thinking of what they could achieve and he gazed at Hassant.

"You create your machine insue chaos and at the same time I shall lead a mutant uprising from the sewers to the streets of London. Sounds like a one hell of a day to prepare for"

Marsia was a bit worried now. She has been wandering around for an hour now and she haven't found the Institute. And it was dark. She cursed the fact that she wasn't paying attention. Then when she thought it couldn't have gotten worse, Marsia had this feeling that someone was following her. She placed a hand on her sword and glanced a look behind her when she ran into a guy, a forty year old.
"I'm sorry," she apologized quickly, anxious to get back to the Institute.
"Hello there," the guy said, blocking her way.
"I need to get back home, I'm sorry,"
"Of course you do. But first." He grabbed her hand. She quickly unsheathed her sword and said assertively, "Get off me!"
Two more guys came out of the shadow, wielding knives. Marsia gulped but held her ground. She wasn't that harmless and she could, in a way, fly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick smiled slightly and said, "Perfect. I'll make contact to you when my machine is ready."

Raye shrugged, "I doubt they'd want the full story - but we'll have to explain Tai's disappearance and warn them of Darius."
They drove into the ground of HYENA and Raye swerved his vehicle into the garage, admiring his vast collection. He consideratly parked the car and gave Mai a quick smile - he switched off the engine and grabbed the car keys, ready to lock the car as soon as they both climbed out.

Raye had his free hand on the interior door handle but turned to face Mai, "And thank you again for saving me," he repeated once more and gently kissed her on the cheek until facing away, embarrassed by his sudden irrational action. He silently opened the door and slipped out of the car, waiting for Mai to do so too so he could lock his car.

"Right, if we're all finished here then i'm going shopping" said Mari brusquely. "Sorry guys but i really need better gear, i'l see you later." she shut the door behind her.
-----------------------
A few hours later she returned a compleatly diffrent person. Her hair was straitened and she wore a slight dusting of makeup. Instead of her faded jeans and grey shirt she wore brown swade trousuers, with matching manderine coller jacket and a tight black t-shirt. "Sorry for being so girly Darius but you try spending three years trying not to be noticed, you get board sooner or later."

Lyn walked around the corridors again. Her break would be soon over, she had to prepare her things for the next lesson. She smiled unsure and shy to some other passing students, then she turned left into the next corridor to go into her room to get the things she would need for her next lesson. After this one, school would be over for her that day and she finally would have some time for herself...to think.
