Teyha frowned slightly, and gave a wave of her hand. "I handle it, ou shouldn't worry. He followed me out here because he's an opportunist, but I'm alright as long as you stick near, so don't be overly concerned." She gave a sigh, knowing it must be aggrivating the man that she was avoiding so many of his questions. "He's my brother, and you shouldn't try to mess with it, you'll end up in a lot of trouble."

She paused a moment, before continueing, almost sure she heard his voice agin in the distance, "Trust me on this, you don't want to get involved."
 
Leon sighed and scratched his head, then stopped to cross his arms. "You see, that's the problem with hu- er, people," he started, catching himself before he said humans. "You've talked a great deal, but virtues are meaningless unless you have the resolve to support them. You cannot stand there and tell me to believe that you have this situation under control when it is obvious your brother is anything but."

A little voice warned him about becoming too involved in this woman's problems. It reminded him that he did have a mission in this world, and that was to find a person who epitomized his virtue. It reminded him that if he came in contact with any human, he would be bound to that human just as he had been bound to God. But then again, I always was a rather persistant individual, and I'll rather have my wings torn asunder once more before I leave such a terrified soul alone.

"Family should care for one another," he stated, "and not be the source of fear, trouble, or concern. I've a mind to speak with this brother of yours and see why he fills you with such concern."

--------------

Once again, Morgan her voices. Letting his curiousity get the better of him, he wandered towards the voices. How many people could be out on this unknowingly auspicious night? he pondered.
 
"No!" Teyha said sharply, raising her hands in front of her as if to stop him. "I cannot control my brother because he has free will, for good or for bad. I can't force him to do anything on my own, and those with the power to help me wont. Those with far more power in this world than you have, and I wont let you get involved in this."

She turned back with a sigh and continued walking, "Listen, I know you mean well, but I really don't want you to stick your hand into the fire on this, alright? Besides... Talking to my brother would do little good..." She sighed softly and looked down, studying her feet as she walked Her brother was a sociopath, there was no other description for him. He played the perfect victim or martyr, even the most observant people believed him be be an innocent soul. "Please.... I just need to get back to my room."
 
"Fine," Leon conceded, "I will continue to escort you back to your home, but I will remain there until I can have a good, long discussion with your brother. This you will not dissuade me from." Leon uncrossed his arms as he held out a hand, gesturing for Teyha to continue walking.

As he started walking again, a comment Teyha made came back across Leon's mind. "Why is it that no one thus far has come to your aid?" If this man was such a terror, surely any self-respecting citizen should have come to her aid by now.
 
"If you want to see me hurt then you will do that." Teyha said darkly, glancing over at the man with a deep frown. "No one comes to my aid because no one believes me, and no one believes me because my parents believe my brother. You have a nice long talk with my brother, then he will have a short talk with my parents... Which will end very badly for me."

She glanced down at his hand as he gestured, and smiled slightly, picking up her pace. "It's obvious... You're going to leave this be unless you understand. If anything happens so that my brother tells my parents I have done wrong to him, then that is it for me. All he has to do is hint that I told you this much, and my I'll be in trouble... A lot of trouble." She sighed softly, finally reaching the road that led to her house. "I'm not a strong person Mr. Leon, there's only so much I can take. So please... Don't make things worst on me? Once I'm an adult I can do more on stopping my brother... But as long as I am a child I am powerless."

She slowly came to as her vision started to become clear. After a couple of seconds she moved around only to notice the soft bed below her, the girl had gotten help. She looked at the chain then to the person it was linked to, a young man with bandages on his chest, " w...who are you? Already told you don't hurt the girl, do anything you want to me just leave the girl alone". As she tried to sit up her chest hit her with pain as she layed back down. The chain still hunted her mind, it looked strange and the guy did not looked like the others, but at that point she didn't trusted anybody with something hanging between his legs. She looked at him and she looked away, " I...I am sorry, I thought you were one of them, who are you? And why am I chained to you?"

"Who I am is not really that important. And why would I want to hurt you or that other girl?" His words were almost haunting, and rather blank sounding. As young as he looked, his eyes told most that he was older then he looked. Standing with out so much a flinch of pain as he moved to the side of her bed. Looking her over, the chain that ran form his collar to her arm seemed to flicker and fade...coming back to view then fading again. Almost like it was not really there, but it was. "What? One of the humans that attacked you. No, not even close. As for why we are chained together. Well that's because I was careless enough to touch you."

Moving away from her slowly to look out the window. The night sky still somewhat young, no later the midnight or one in the morning. But it seemed brighter, now that the stars had feel to earth. It was clear he was thinking about something, and he knew that he little chit chat with her had brought another question to her mind.
 
She sighed and looked at him, good he was not one of those assholes. He then noticed the collar around her neck and her eyes went wide. "Who exactly are you?, you better explain to me what is going on with you or I will keep asking question I know you don't want to be asked". Her chest stung up with a shot of pain as she moved around, she had a few broken bones but she would be alright in a couple of days to move. Not wanting to waste anymore time she shook her head, "You are problably thinking that why do you need to answer? where I have not told you why I was on the floor... they were going to rape and kill the girl and I told them that I would take her place, she is a mother of two and takes care of her mother so I decided it was better if I got killed instead of her, I could easily taken those guys down but I was letting them do that to me, for her".
 
"How noble of you. And hear I thought Valor was dead to Mankind. " As for her threat Chris could not help but smile, "And what kinda question don't I want you to ask? And even if you ask who said I had to answer them. What because you are one of the few human's left that have any virtue left in them?" His words shocked even him, maybe he had lucked out and found the human that help him get back into heaven. After all he had to find that trait in at less one human in order to gain his grace back...but was that on act of self sacrifice be enough? He didn't think so, how could one human make up for the sins of millions. "However any way I look at it I'm stuck with you..."
 
He sighed and just closed her eyes, "you know whatever, I will not force you to answer why do we have this chain or why are you bandaged up so I will just go to sleep". She sighed as she slowly turned her back to him and drifted off into a deep sleep. Drifting off to sleep she started to dream about her family and what they went through. She also dreamed of her past in America, the land of chance now drew the bad luck card on her. Opening her eyes she found she could not sleep, but she could not bear to watched the guy who had a misterious chain attached to her wrist. Taking a deep breath she looked at him, then up to the sky, "You say I have valor, why do you care anyways? what if I have Valor, I really did not do what I did because I wanted to get hurt, it was because it was the right thing to do".

"Hmph, then it seems I must converse with your entire family in need be. Young minds should feel they have the room to grow and mature as a person, both mentally and spiritually. We cannot allow ourselves to feel shackled by such restraints." Leon mentally smacked his forehead when realizing that this particular society had a thing for limiting those under eighteen years of age. It'd been some time since he'd actually dealt with human society, so he'd forgotten the quirks of said society. "If we don't encourage the next generation," he continued, "then how will they know how to continue how legacy? I mean, I've only known you for a short while, Teyha, and I would say you seem to be a responsible young woman with a good sense of right and wrong. It's obvious you honor your mother and father, although from what I hear I'm not sure I can say the same for your sibling. it seems he has a silver tongue he's not afraid to use."
 
It took quite a bit of will power to stop Teyha from rubbing her temples in frustration. This man didn't seem to understand what she was trying to tell him, granted she was doing a poor job of explaining indeed. "Talking with my parents wont do any good, because they don't think they do wrong. You can't convince someone to stop what they are doing then they do not see their actions as unjust..."

"Spreading lies again?" Came a deep voice from behind the pair, and Teyha froze, spun, and stared wide eyed as she saw the bulky figure of her older brother, Bradyn, approach. He was not the what people pictured when they thought of a sociopath, but that was what he was all the same. Heavyset and dirty, he wore an even expression that many would call clueless, and he trudged forward in almost clumsy steps towards the pair.

To even the most observant Bradyn would seem socially awkward, withdrawn, maybe even slow... But Teyha was more than aware of that facade. She took a nervous step backwards as he frowned at her slightly. "Why do you hate me so much? I haven't done anything wrong..." He mumbled, digging his hands into his pockets as he took another step forward.

Teyha could help but to shout back "LIAR!" her voice edged in fear.

"I only came out to see if you were okay... Mom and Dad will be upset if you tried to run away... So I came to get you." He glanced over at Leon, his expression darkening just a degree before he caught himself. "You shouldn't talk to strangers, Teyha. Let's go home."

"I'm going home, don't come any closer!" She said in a panic, taking another step back as he continued his approach. "I said don't come near me! Go away! Please, go away!"
 
Leon watched as Teyha's brother came near, a little voice grumbling in the back of his mind. For all the subtle tricks this man portrayed by acting slow and ungainly, his eyes betrayed a hidden intelligence. It would seem fate would be a trickster and have it in for me all the same, to do something like this, he thought as he reached out to grab Teyha by the shoulder.

Not even giving it time to set in on himself what he'd just done, he pulled her back behind himself. He wasn't an overtly large person, just average for any 22 year old man, but he knew he could certainly stand up to this one. Placing himself squarely between Tehya and her brother, Leon crossed his arms and stared down the man with a smile. "Excuse me, sir," Leon mused, "but I do think you're scaring the young woman. If it's true that you've done no wrong, why does your mere presence cause her so much fear?"
 
Teyha continued her retreat then she felt a hand land lightly on her shoulder, and she felt herself pulled back and behind Leon. The physical contact was enough to make her tense, but it was not nearly as disturbing to her as what she saw next. A cuff appeared on both of their wrists the moment he made contact with her, and a thin chain ran between think, linking them together.

She gasped before quieting, sure that it was just her tired mind that was imagining the connection, and focused on what her brother and Leon were saying.

"She hates me." Bradyn said with a sad shrug. "She is always yelling at me, mad, mean. I don't know why."

Teyha felt a rising swell of anger, her eyes narrowing, "Because you tried to rape me! Because you let me get beaten and punished for trying to protect myself from you! Because you attack other girls, and there is no way for me to stop you by myself!" Teyha shot back, "You show no remorse or pity for those around you, what kind of human being can't feel empathy?"

Bradyn shrugged again, turning his attention back to Leon. "She's a liar, I've never... You can ask my parents, they'll tell you."
 
"You would not believe me if I told you. Humans are so closed minded it seems now and days," words nothing more then a whisper as he moved back to the chair he had been sitting in. Not saying anything as she tried to sleep, but her nap did not seem to last long. He could not help the feeling he had seen her once before, but his memories not as they use to be after the fall he made. Truth be told he kinda felt sorry for the girl and what she had gone threw....this feeling was rather new to him. In heaven angels really did not have the luxury of having feelings and emotions.

His thoughts where intruded upon when a doctor came in the room to check on the girl, a nurse trying to get him back into the bed that laid next to hers. Able to shoo her off with out so much as a word leaving his lips.
 
She smirked and looked at the boy, " I seen demons in my dream, there is nothing that I would not believe". He groaned and closed her eyes the pain was coming back, she figured the pain medicine must had been wearing off. She sighed and looked at him, he was a good looking guy, apart from the bandages he looked fine. Watching the nurse try and convince him to lay on bed was funny. She turned around and placed her hair aside revealing a small mark on the back of her neck. She dozed off into a deep slumber, her mind relieving the events that got her to the hospital.
 
Chris let her sleep for a while before trying to tell or more show her what he was. Making sure the doctors and nurses where done with there rounds before walking up to her sleeping body. Kneeling down beside her, and putting his hand on her head. Knowing she had seen flashes of his memories when they first touched. Hoping he could maybe do it again. A whisper in her ear as she slept as he let the pictures in her dreams do the work for him. Cold eyes falling on the tattoo on her neck. Could it be that she was the one he was meet to find?

_________________

I'm an angel of the lord sent to earth to save mankind from there final fate. A fate I truly believe they are doomed for.

Images of him before he fell would flash threw her dreams. An beautiful angel with hawk wings, dressed in a cloth of light that wrapped around his hips. Kneeling down on one knee with his spear in his hands. Behind him was the image of what fate waited mankind if the fallen did not complete there mission. The heavens where red and opened up showing the legions of waring angels and the four doors of four winds being opened. The sun was in the sky but it was black and the moon blood red. The stars seemed to fall from heaven and the earth was in ruins. People where in the street praying for forgiveness but there cries reached empty ears.

I was sent to find the virtue of valor in which humanity has lost, you maybe the key.
 
He groaned as his dream became a little bit better, the man slowly dissapeared and the sky turned red. Images of the man flashed before her eyes, his wings beautiful and his lance big and strong. She felt like crying at the sight of that beauty of angel. She then heard a voice, the voice of the man talking in her dream. She shook her head and looked around, "But why me? Why do you think I have valor? yes I saved a girl from a pack of bullies but what qualifies me to be linked to you? I do believe you but I don't think I am the one. My life has been full of pain reason why I saved the girl, I don't want to see anyone suffer that type of fate even if it costs my life". He smiled and looked at him, "But.... if I am trully the one that can help you, I will".

She woke up and the shot of pain went through her body, she felt the bones snap into place as she groaned in pain. Groaning she felt her wounds slowly seal in her private areas as well as the black eye dissapearing. She looked at him and then at her body still confused as to what happened. The nurses rushed in and started inspecting her, they were as confused as she was, the wounds were gone and the bones did not hurt anymore. The doctor then came in and rushed her out to do some tests. Sometime later they came back with a astonished look on their faces, all her wounds were gone.
 
"As far as I've seen," Leon commented, shrugging off Bradyn's attempt at conjuring pity, "she's only yelled at you half this conversation, and that comment was provoked. Perhaps we should go talk to your parents, young man?" It was quickly becoming apparent what the problem was here. This man was obviously quite the trickster, playing at being a deficient when he was in reality a deviant. What bothers me more than what's being said is what could be left unsaid, he thought as he crossed his arms and waited for Bradyn's reply.
 
James and John continued to walk in town in their rather used clothing, searching for what they needed.. John held his brother close to him. Their heavenly name.. what was it.. they could not remember. They knew they were charged with finding Kindness in man and Humility..Kindness was not that hard to find.. but Humility? that might be hard indeed.
 
The corners of Bradyn's lips turned up for a second, and he nodded, "Then let's go home and I'll wake mom and dad, but they don't like to be disturbed." He moved forward, walking past Leon and Teyha while trying to hide his smug smile.

Teyha felt her stomach toss slightly, and she looked up at Leon in panic. Once he saw her family she knew that like anyone else he would side with them. Her parents worked in law enforcement, her mother charming and charasmatic when she had to be, and her father calm and reasonable... "Maybe it'd be better to just go before I'm in even more trouble." Teyha told the man softly, "I really appreciate you walking me back, but I can handle it from here, alright?"
 
"Hmph," Leon shrugged, turning away to cross his arms as he made it look like he was giving the idea some thought, masking his face with an incredibly serious expression and even mumbling a couple incomprehensible words. He wasn't really thinking about much, but it'd surely ease her mind if it looked like he knew exactly what he was doing.

Turning back to her, he merely smiled as he placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "That quite alright, miss Teyha," he chuckled lightly, "you're quite stuck with me at the momonent. I'm not going to leave this sleeping dog lie." And then there's the fact that she's not just stuck with you, but you're stuck with her, idiot, a voice in the back of his head nagged.

Pushing the thought away, he maintained his friendly smile and turned to follow Bradyn, making sure to pull Teyha with him. "By the way, what do your parents do for a living?"

--------------

Morgan's walk continued as he hunted down the noisy pedestrians. Wandering around a corner, he chuckled to himself at the sight of the two young men, obviously brothers, wandering about and seeming incredibly out of place. Sneaking out of sight, he ran around the block till he hid around the corner from the walking pair. With a chuckle to himself for no particular reason, he slid out from behind the corner, one hand casually pocketed while the other pointed his cane at the pair. "Well, hello there," he announced, stretching each sound in the word 'hello', "you fella don't look like you're from around here. You guys lost?"

It wasn't normally in Morgan's nature to walk up to strangers and greet them, but this had been a boring night and they looked like an interesting pair.
 
James and John would halt their walk seeing the strange man. "We.. are new in town good sir.." James would say as John narrowed his eyes in suspicion, he did not like how the male was acting and it was his nature to be very suspicious.

James however was more naive and trusting and smiled. "WE are lost sir.. we are trying to find shelter for the night.. might you help us?" John's eyes would stare at the male as if into his very soul, however that was not possible for either male.
 
Morgan raised an eyebrow at the auspicious pairing. "Lemme think that one over," he chuckled, eyeballing the two of them with a detective's glare. The one seemed mistrusting; not a thing unheard of when dealing with someone like himself. The other... Heh, this guy looks a bit naive, Morgan thought with a smirk. Must be a pair of country bumpkins out about town. What is this? Mr. Smiths go to Washington?

"Well, normally I'd ignore strangers in all honesty," Morgan explained, "but you two look a little out of sorts, and I was just commenting none too long ago on how the less fortunate of our society pile up, and how the 'good' citizens of the world ignore this. You know what? I'll help you guys out cause I'm feeling generous on this most unusual of nights. But first, you must answer me these questions three." Morgan paused with a mischievous grin as he waited for their response, settling back and tapping his cane lightly against his leg.
 
James and john nodded. "We would definatly appriciate the help sir." John spoke to him as James smiled. Was this perhaps Kindness he was sent to find? or perhaps John with his Virtue of Humility.. "We have no money to offer you, but to do so would be most kind of you sir." James said to the man.
 
"Alrighty then," Morgan chuckled, shifty weight from one foot to another, "we'll get going in just a sec, but first my questions. Don't worry, this won't take long, I'm sure. First question: What...are your names?"

Morgan laughed inwardly at the personal joke he was playing. While not being quite sure how they'd react, whatever reaction would surely be of amusement. It wasn't malice or anything of the such that made he query the duo, but more of a sense of boredom that gave him an usual sense of humor.
