Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The Bunker

Lon Talbot Em watches her drift to sleep and replays those words over and over in his head.

"I've never had anyone say that to me before..."

He couldn't fall asleep now if he tried.

Timberwolf waited for Kalla to wake up before getting himself cleaned up.

"I'm going to have to go to Cobie with this you know," he says aas he sits down again next to her. "He's not going to be happy about who you are and the fact that you've been in the midst of them for so long now, but I'll eplain things to him. First though, I need to sleep for a little bit. Have not had a chance in about 4 days."

He closes his eyes after squeezing her hand gently, "It's going to be alright..."

His last thoughts before falling asleep sitting next to her were I wonder if she knows what she said to me...

{wakes up and is pleasantly surprised to see Timber Wolf lying asleep beside her}

Mmmm...alone in bed with a guy I really like in a locked down bunker....

{starts kissing him}

<just as the action starts to get hot, the reinforced metal door comes flying off the hinges>

OPEN.

<Cobalt Kid and Dev Em stand before them>

Timberwolf! Are you in here? Dev is worried about you and I have some matters to discuss of the utmost importance.

<And at last, confirming his suspicions, Cobalt sees Kalla Hrykos sitting before him with Timberwolf.>

YOU.

<Before anyone can react, Cobalt magnetically pulls two of Timberwolf's knives into his hands and re-shuts the magnetic door so no one else can get in other than these four.>

Murderess.

There have been many crimes against Legion World and yours remains one of the most heinous.

Either you've tricked your way here and now stand revealed...or worse.

Timberwolf reaches and grabs two other blades from next to the bed.

"Don't try it Cobie, these aren't metal...and they're sharper than those. Back off, and nobody has to get hurt here. I was going to come and get you as soon as I could...she needs your help."

Dev stands behind Cobalt Kid in shock at what is transpiring.

"Everybody needs to calm down."

You know about this then, Wolf?

<Cobalt thinks for a moment.>

So Lardy probably knows too.

<he lowers the knives, seeing Kalla is obviously in pain; if Timberwolf is willing to defend her against him, who he's always trusted implicitly, there is much more going on here.>

You care about her, then? I assume you did your homework on her...even during all this calamity these last few weeks. She's a murderer, you know. In my opinion, crazy as a loon too when she engineered the deaths of all those people.

<he walks closer to them, throwing the knives to the side of the bunker, thinking he has no further use for them.>

I began to suspect there was more to her but have been too distracted to put it together. It's her light powers obviously that made me realize. And the Dark Oval connection to the Red Bee. If he found his way to Legion World, she could have as well.

<sees she is in immense pain>

I suspect she has knowledge of the Bee, which we need.

Lon. I'm of the mind to extract that knowledge any way I can. But the way you were ready to protect her--fight me even--after all the times we've saved each other's lives makes me wonder. I knew you too grew close but not this close. Where an infamous killer would confide in you. Where you'd protect her.

Do you love her?

Timberwolf relaxes his stance and sheaths his knives.

He looks back at Kalla, "yeah, I do Des. I love her." A small grin creeps onto his face. "Can you help Lardy Kalla?" He says as he walks over to her.

<Cobalt sighs>

It matters to me that you love her.

I can heal her wounds but in return I need every bit of information she has on the Red Bee, and then anything she can give us to help us cure Lardy--and I mean fast. He's on the verge of death.

But after that, I need your word Timberwolf that you won't let her escape Legion World. She deserves to rot in jail for her crimes, which include murder. And if Lardy knows about this I think I (and others) are owed an explanation.

And then even after that, I want information on the Dark Oval.

But we'll get to that all eventually. The only thing saving her from my using my powers to overwhelm an already hurt opponent is you telling me you love her and the fact that she can help Lardy. I'm still unconvinced why she should't be locked up in a dark hole somewhere where no record of her exists.

<walks over to check her wounds, still internally fighting with himself on whether he should heal her.>

Kalla. Can you help us heal Lardy? Do you know anything that could help?

Timberwolf puts his hand on Cobalt Kids shoulder and whispers, "she's not going to be your little plaything Des...so wath your step. As far as your self rightuous posturing, you know as well as I do that there are places out there that people would say these exact same things about us..."

I...You're saying it is the Red Bee's toxins that are killing him?

{Cobalt nods grimly}

Then, I may be able to help. One of the Oval's primary powers, The Hive, did some research on the Red Bee's toxins. While they weren't able to develop an inocculation...or a cure exactly...they came up with something that treats it. It helps about a third of his victims on average. If he's lucky, it'll help him.

{pulls out an Omnicom and accesses some of her personal files}

Here's the one you need. It has the ingredients and the proper procedure for the formula....

{tosses it to him}

Don't bother with trying to hack it...I just erased every other file in it.

{watches him study it and moves toward Lon, embracing him from behind}

{whispers} Oh Fuzzy...I love you, too!

<Cobalt reviews it to make sure it looks on the up and up; he's soon convinced.>

Dev, its on the up and up. You should take it to Lardy with your super speed, and let's hope it saves him.

<turns back to Kalla and Timberwolf>

As for you...I stand by my word. It will sting for a moment and you will feel relief soon after.

<places hand on her, beginning the healing process, and braces for the intense pain he feels that accompanies his healing someone.>

...the difference...Wolf...is what we do...is right...

<Kalla begins to be healed.>

"Depends on your viewpoint I guess." He says quietly.

Timberwolf watches as his most trusted friend heals the woman he has fallen in love with.

{when Cobie, finishes, she feels refreshed}

{to Cobalt} Listen closely...if you want to accomplish anything with me as far as my intel goes, you have to keep my presence on Legion World a secret! The Dark Oval thinks I'm on Hrykosia, right now. If they find out otherwise, I am useless to you! Any road I now have open will close! Do you understand?

{squeezes T-Wolf's hand, to hide hers shaking as much as anything else}

He gives her a hug.

Looks at Cobie. "Thank you. I owe more than ever. Catch up to us when you feel up to going to see how Lardy is doing? We're going to head up there to make sure everything is going alright."

After leaving Question Lad at Medicus 2 , Timber Wolf returned to the bunker. Letting Hot Chick know that he was headed there using his omnicom.

"Time to hopefully relax for a few hours," he said as he sat down to check out the latest information form his informants.

{arrives and enters}

Hey, Fuzzy--guess who's getting amnesty? {smiles}

Lon raises an eyebrow. "That's great. What you have to tell him to get him to agree to it?" he asks with a grin forming on his face.

Oh...I gave them a taste of how I can help them. I'll tell ya all about it later, Fuzzy...

{takes off her top and tosses it on his head}

...unless you're not in the mood to...celebrate with me?

He walks over to the door and makes sure it's locked, and then walks back to her. "c'mon, let's celebrate."

{sex ensues...vigorous, sexy sex}

"Hey, did I leave my cell phone... hey now... um, sorry, I, uh, ok see you later..."

OOC:Dang it!
