Home is where the Black is (Anansi and Sorrow.)

"No!" she was already running and vaulted down the steps, feeling her ankle wrench as she rolled nearby him. She shook him gently, checking his pulse and growled, anger making her hands shook and she called for a doctor they knew on this planet, ready to get out of her and quickly.
 
Two seperate pin pricks fired at her from the darkness. She had gone but not far, she was quite intent on having what she wanted. Soon after another set, then another. Six darts all racing towards various parts of her body.
 
The call was made and Hawk rolled to the side, the first two darts pinging harmlessly off of the wall. Eyes flashing in anger, she felt a dart thunk into her shoulder and wince, moving out of the way as she felt her adrenaline surge, knowing it would push the drug faster through her system. She began to run, moving at the woman and levered her gun, firing off a shot. At the same time, a old friend of the woman's was heading to the hotel, ready to help.
 
That was all they needed. Troops poured out of the bushes as she ran towards the decoy and grabbed both Xeno and the bot. Taking off towards the other end of the island a shuttle dropped from the sky and they all piled in rapidly. In the back of the shuttle's hold Alyssa could be seen already stroking Xeno's hair and cooing over her prize before it began to lift away. The girl Hawk was shooting at quickly dropped her weapon and got to her knees whipping off her wig as she did so. "I give up." Shesimply said.
 
Hawk skidded to a halt, vision already blurring from the drug as she saw the shuttle, the woman and Xeno. Her heart clenched and rage filled her face as she turned to the woman, grabbing her by the shirt and hauling her up, pressing the cold barrel of the gun against her temple "Tell me where she's taking him." she stated, voice faintly slurred but icily calm.
 
"Probably back to her estate or something, other side of the planet. If you hurry you could likely follow them, she'll have to get him healed up and whatnot." She said calmly as she looked to her. "I thought they didn't allow weapons in this place...and what artist carries a weapon?" She asked with a slight smirk before she looked at her. Various patrons were beginning to peek out of windows while hotel security began making their way outside.
 
Hawk smiled, a true genuine gesture as she slid the pistol into her coat with a smooth, practiced gesture "A smart one." she stated, and let her go, plucking the dart from her shoulder and staggered suddenly, vision going white. "Ta ma de." she muttered, the serum was starting to slow her down and she went to her knees, hearing the familiar clunky roar of a shuttle arriving and smiled, help was on it's way. In moments a man with rumpled auburn hair arrived and crouched by Hawk, taking her pulse and grimaced, hazel eyes worried "Mena, what have ye done now?" he asked and she looked at him amused "Vacation, Tobias, didnae turn out right. Get me te ye're shuttle for now." she stated and her older brother helped her up, nodding at the hotel security "Anything I can help ye with?" he asked, arching a brow.
 
Xeno slipped in and out of consciousness in the shuttle till finally his eyes closed. He awoke and he was back on the ship. Hawk sat next to him beaming, his choker on her neck, her hand on his. Smiling softly he leaned in to kiss her cheek and held her close inhaling her scent. "You still haven't decided on a name." She said to him and placed his hand on her stomach before she looked up. "We are touching down soon, you should take a seat." She quickly quipped. He was confused at what she had said previously but he sat. Suddenly he had a vision of a girl with long black hair leaning over him. "Will he be ok, he hit his head pretty.." she cut out and back to Hawk leading him off of the shuttle towards a large house by a beach. "Well we are home." She said slowly.
 
The security was dealt with and Hawk took her and Xeno's things from the hotel, leaving to Tobias's rickety shuttle. The woman shook her head as she slumped into a seat while her brother readied his med-bag "How many times have I told ye to trade this piece av go-se in?" she asked, voice fully slurred now as she watched her brother prepare a syringe. "And how many times have I told ye to pick up ye're life as an artist again instead av a smuggler?" he asked levelly and injected the antidote in the woman's arm. She smiled faintly "About as many times as I talk about ye're shuttle. Thanks Tobias, I need to get out av here, Xeno's gone." she added, eyes hard as she stood carefully. The older man frowned "Ye sure ye want to do this?" he asked, regretting the question once she glared at him and he smiled ruefully. "Av course ye do." he asked, answering his own question standing and stepping forwards to hug the woman. "Be careful, I'll stay on planet, just in case." he promised and Hawk hugged him tightly, "Thanks." she stated simply, realizing how much she missed her family, leaving the shuttle. It took a handful of minutes to get back to her ship and start up the shuttle, making sure she was fully armed before heading out at full speed to the other side of the planet.
 
He felt a sharp pain in his head as she touched him. "Shh its ok darling." Hawk said to him as they lay together in a large bed before a window with a view of the sea. "Mmm its alright, you haven't been so nervous since our honeymoon." She said to him slowly before he leaned in to kiss her. Suddenly he felt the splitting pain again and his world tore open to reveal white clad doctors standing over him. He instantly flashed back to his childhood and wanted to struggle but he couldn't. "...He's concious...but..but how." One doctor said to another. "I don't know were just to treat this wound and go." He said as he finished the stitches. The anaesthesia kept him down and his mind too cloudy to use his abilities and as he tried to sit up he got a fresh dose and the world went black.
 
If Hawk was in the mood to reflect she would be amused at how easy it was to slip into the role of the soldier once more. Instead though of having a Squadron with her, she was alone and she wished that she had Sern with her, but that was impossible. Taking a breath, she looked out to the mansion ahead and memorized it's location leaving the shuttle and making her way to the building. Soon she stood in the shadows and held a dark orb in her hand, lobbing it towards the building. It exploded in a burst of light, sound and concussive force making a huge cracking sound and would disorient anyone in it's vicinity. "Gods above I love flash bombs." she stated, dashing into the dark to find a way into the building.
 
He found himself soon bound to a bed and on his back. His clothing had been stripped and his body pressed to the table as she entered. Looking him over she purred like a cat content with its prey. "My my my...you are a nice catch." She said as she dragged a finger along his stomach. Still to weary to do anything he simply looked to her knowing the tube to his neck wasn't just there for display. Suddenly however lights began to flash. "That accursed girl.." She spat as she looked up before leaning down and forcibly kissing him then running off. Squadrons began to run outside at the sound of the bomb going off.
 
Hawk grinned as the first squadron arrived, rolling another orb out that shattered outwards, exploding in a burst of fire and glass, killing half of the squadron. Her pistol raised and she shot cleanly, the others falling as she moved in, stepping over the bodies and ran in through the now destroyed door.

(How many squadrons are there?)
 
He slowly came to as the drugs wore off and began to focus. As he did so the needle in his neck began to slowly work its way out of his skin. Alyssa on the other hand was screaming into a badge on her coat. "Shoot to kill, I repeat shoot to kill." She yelled as she ran to the far end of the hall locking the door behind her as hundreds of monitors flickered to life. Two more squads emerged from a hall and looked to the chaos left behind before stopping pondering on which direction the perpetrators fled to.
 
They didn't have to wonder long. Hawk emerged from the shadows silently, two long knives burying themselves in the necks of men before the others turned to a hail of gunfire. The woman grunted as a bullet smashed against her tightly woven armour and she gritted her teeth, slashing a man's eyes and shooting another in throat. Ducking against another burst of gunfire, she threw herself behind a statue and threw a flashbomb, hearing the men yell and stagger back disoriented. Rising she cut them down quickly, hating these tactics but it was the best way to get Xeno back. Moving further into the house she kept quiet, focusing her mind on Xeno 'I hope ye can hear me. I'm getting close, just hold on' she thought, finding a locked door with the faint cold-glow of a monitor in the next few moments. Stepping back she kicked the door hard with a heavy boot, trying to kick it inwards.
 
The door cracked and then was ripped inwards as he stepped out. Stepping into the hallway completely naked he glanced at her. "We are leaving." He said before he gave a casual flick of his hand and several guards were smashed against a wall as they ran towards them. "Now." He added as he continued.
 
Hawk had her pistol pointed at him and blinked "Oh. Well good." she replied and slung off her coat handing it to him, turning to get out and quickly.
 
"Right": He simply said as he made a gesture and the wall beside them ripped open revealing the courtyard. As he did so a trickle of blood came from his nose and he staggered briefly but kept walking.
 
Hawk frowned, already pacing forwards to get out quickly "Xeno, be careful, ye've had an awful lot av strain." she stated, accent thick as she walked on.
 
He rounded on her his eyes shadowed but his irises were glowing a dull red. "Are you going to stop me?"He asked her slowly. A squadron came around to bear on them and simply found themselves crushed beneath a large balcooy as he shrugged off her jacket then walked towards the gates. "Mmm it seems one of my uncles projects is still up and about."Alyssa mused as she fingered the screen.
 
Her back tensed and she shrugged "If I have te knock ye over the head and drag ye out I will." she replied smoothly. The woman sighed faintly as he took off her coat, picking it up and walking with him, shaking her head at his stubbornness knowing she'd do the same in his place.
 
"As I recall the last knock you were responsible for someone else dragged me out." He replied to her as he reached the gate before he kicked it open with a vicious axe kick to its center snapping the decorative lock with a single blow. Striding through the gate he began to walk towards the beach.
 
Hawk scowled "See if I come after ye the next time some Core bitch gets her claws intae yet." she muttered annoyed. Following him she kept a watch around them, face tense "There's our shuttle nearby." she stated.
 
"Core whore wouldn't have gotten after me if you hadn't pissed her off so bad. She might have been more civil." He said with a smirk before he walked towards the shuttle. "She might try again, you saying the second time will be the charm for her?"
 
Hawk shook her head "I'm not civil and she looked to be the type to take what she wants no matter what. And it won't be, I won't let it happen." she stated, voice thick, more then upset at him being taken and how it seemed that Xeno saw it as her fault.
