"Current employer?" Iada asked walking beside Shrapnel glancing back at Amelia who was looking lost as she picked her way over the rubble.

Sean shrugged, "Current employer, old employer, same thing."

"Any chance you're going to give me a name or are you going to be Batman about it?" Iada asked.

Sean smiled, but didn't look at her. Instead he turned down a littered alley, and shoved open a door, leading into a mess that was once a toy store, "I'm surprised you have to ask," he said.
"Ahh, Shrapnel, you've brought home guests..."

Iada instantly shivered and backed behind Shrapnel for shelter, but also ran into Amelia at the same time, shoving the belwilder girl to the ground.
"Sinister," Amelia snapped quickly getting up from the ground and glaring at him, "I'd hoped you died."

Sean walked towards Sinister and took his place by his right side.
Sinister placed his hand over his heart in mock pain, "Oh, such cruel words! Is that how you repay the man who saved your love from certain death?"

Amelia gritted her teeth together, "I'm sure you had a plan in mind when you did," Amelia said her eyes glowing purple slightly. Her and Sinister had fought before, actually several timesand were kill each other at sighting.
Iada wimpered as Shrapnel left her in the open and she looked around for cover.

"A genius always has a motive," he told her, sitting down in a large yellow chair, strewn about the broken aisles if toys and mishappened shelving, "But rest assured I'm doing all I can for the boy..."

"You're more of a madman then a genius," Amelia growled crossing her amrs, wondering what Sinister had up his sleeves, "Just take me to Christian."
"Amelia this isn't worth it, we should get out of here," Iada said trying to avoid Sinister from looking at her. A couple years before she had been used as a powerhouse for one of his machines and Iada still had nightmares about it.

Sinister sighed and sat back, "Perhaps you could listen to the battery, Amelia. But I assure you, despite our... prior history... Christian is in the best of care."

Iada' suddenly straightened up and glared at Sinister, obviously he had struck a cord deep within her, "One more comment like that and I'll make sure to port you into another dimestion, one filled with lots of point objects,"she growledcrouching, "Amelia let's just heal Christianand get out of here."
"You're right," Amelia said looking at Iada and then back at Sinister with dark serious eyes, "Take us to him."

Sinister stood, "Fine, but I promise you that he is in no condition to leave. The only thing keeping him alive right now is my medical equipment. Taking him from my charge will be a slow painful death. Is that what you wish to risk?"

"I'll be the judge of that diamond head," Iada said boldly following him Amelia close behind.

Mr. Sinister nodded, "Very well. Mr. Cullen, make sure these two lovely young ladies don't stick a knife in my back, won't you?"
Sean nodded, "Yes sir." He waited for Amelia and Iada to pass, making what could pass for a staring fit at Iada as she walked by.
Sinister brought them back to a stock room in the toy store, and pushed away a makeshift curtain made of a tattered old blanket, "Here he is. I wouldn't recommend any tight hugs."
Christian James lay in the gurney. His right arm was bandaged heavily, while his left was in a sling, and rested on his chest. Shirtless, the guaze covering his chest was the only sign he had been bloody when found, even through through the bandages, it was easy to see the dark outlines of deep gashes and cuts down his frame. His eye was covered in a medical patch, and the other was closed in sleep.
He had obviously seen better days.

Iada noticed Sharpnel looking at he and gave him a death glare before she approached Christian and began looking him over, "Well Sinister, you might be evil, but you do you medical training some credit," she said.
"Christian," Amelia said her face going pale and she rushed to the side of his bed and looked at him not really sure what to do.

Sinister nodded at Iada in thanks, "There, see? I told you I did all I could for him. If you remove him now, the reprocussions could be dire. I have no intention of killing him. Unfortunetly... I need him..."

Amelia eyes narrowed, "What do you need him for?" she asked her voice full of danger.
Iada rolled her eyes at the two and quickly placed her hand on one of the few bare patches of skin on Christian's body, at least she'd be able to get the cells in his body to reproduce faster and make his healing faster as well. Or at least he'd wake upto tell Amelia to calm down.

Sinister laughed aloud, "Are you blind, girl!? This world has been racked in ruin! Living souls are hard to come by! Your husband is one of the strongest people I've met, and his abilities could come into use."

Amelia cracked her knuckles her wedding bad flashing in the weak light, "You wanna bet that's going to happen. I'm stronger then the last time we met Sinister, do you really want to die today?"
"Would both of you stop you yammering, I'm trying to work here. Seriously if it's that big a deal to get an energy user then I'll due it just so you both shut up," Iada said her voice a little strained.

Sinister smiled at Amelia, "The apocalypse has been kind to none of us," he said, "Is it that hard to believe that I would need someones help?"
