2010: Las Vegas

In the end Nate applied some medical attention to Nick. Nate promply put the boy into a deep sleep, nothing else came to mind. Leaving the guy somewhere was fine, but Nicoles power still affecting him and leaving her powerless and Nate sure as hell was not ok with that. But if allowing him access to his powers again was gonna make the kid go boom then, Nate felt he was being pretty merciful. He'd put Nick in the back, with Greg the middel of him and Nicole and tore out of the parking lot. Some hours later, night had fallen. Up ahead the welcome to Las Vegas sign came into view. Soon they were surrounded by bright lights and tall buildings. Nate grinned, it had been years since he'd last been there. It had changed a little, but that exilerating feeling was still there. Once they were all settled in at Azraels place, he was going for a little exploring. Rose had never been to Vegas before, she smiled a little. It looked so, interesting. Greg had seen Vegas plenty of times before. Rose directed Nate to Azraels Hotel from the directions she'd received earlier.

It was easily one of the biggest in the whole city. Reaching up to the heavens and spread out very wide. Nate pulled up to the front and a guard was immediately there " Can I help you? "

Nate nodded " Yeah, you can tell your boss that his families here for a visit " The guard straigtened up immediatley

" Oh, I didnt realize you were Mr.Lindermans relatives. Please, allow me to park your vehicle for you " Nate aand the others all got out of the car. Nate picked up Nick and through the boy over his shoulders. The guard drove there car off to the private parking structure. He said he would have all there bags taken to there designated rooms.

A man in his mid forties, short and bald, wearing a very expensive looking suit appeared " Greetings Oskin family my name is James Kottak. Mr.Linderman can't tell you how happy he is to see you "

Nate snorted " He sure can't seeing as he aint here " Rose elbowed Nate in the stomache

" Forgive my brother, he's an idiot, but where is Azrael? "

James turned and gesturred for the Oskins to follow him " Mr.Linderman had some bussiness to attend to now, but now he is ready to ssee you all now " Nate whisled as they entered the lobby " Good shit " he said in appreciation, the place was riddiculously well done. James led them over to an elevator and they piled in. James hit the highest button and soon they were climbing up.

5AY: Camp 83

Nate scratched his head as Nicole asked him to help her with her " Games ".

" Nicky I see enough zombies as is. Tell your man to switch it up. Some final fantasy would be nice " Angela's words still echoing in his mind. Nicole was a big girl and he was the last person to scold his child on promiscuity. Of course he knew his daughter was not like that at all " Oh fine. Lets go "

Camp 34

Emmet was fixing a jug of Cranberry juice when he felt the temperature change of someone teleporting in. At first he thought it was Gabriel, but then he heard Peter and turned to look at him. This was certainly an interesting suprise. He couldnt say Peter visited the camp a lot, not that he had any real issues with that. But what was the nature of this talk. Cassandra and Alucard were starring at Peter from the other side of the table, Cassandra was curious, but Alucard looked bored and uninterested " Hello Peter " Emmet sat the container aside " Is there something you need? "

Peter was calm looking down to see Emmet's children, meat loaf, and a jug of Iced Tea, looked like a normal family about to eat dinner, he sighed wishing his family was together, but it wasn't. "Hey Emmet" He didn't know what to say, what the kids would say, he thought about stopping time. Hmm if i stop time, Gabriel might come in, and I don't know if he's coming in with a shoot first, ask questions later mentality or not. He thought. He sighed, he was going to have to go through with it. "Jessica, Tony attacked her, didn't he, messed her up."

Emmet kept his face composed " Cassandra, Alucard can you go outside? " Cassandra opened her mouth, doubtless to protest, but Alucard was already dragging the girl out of the mobile unit. Emmet leaned against the counter his arms folded over his chest. " Indeed he had " Emmet put two and two together and realized why Peter had come. If he knew Jessica was here then obviously he had just spoken to her " Tony is quite skilled, it would seem "

Peter was glad Emmet sent the children away, he didn't have anything against them, but he didn't know what they would say. Plus he didn't know if they knew Jessica was here, or who she was at all. So it was best this way, he didn't intend to get violent either. :"Had, don't worry I've made sure she'll be better in a few hours, maybe a day or two, but she'll be fine. Anyway a Tony..he .."He paused..he didn't like talking about Alexia's death, it was so recent, it was a tear jerker for him. "He..murdered Alexia, his powers, I tried to revive him, but i couldn't, she just dissolved her body's gone, so I can't ..heal her" He paused for a moment, as some tears began to slide down his eyes, he was trying to maintain his composure. He sniffled a bit, and made a napkin appear in his hand, which he used to wipe away the tears. "So Jessica came here, have you met Tony recently? Any thing, has he spoken to you? Have you met him. Can you tell me about any confrontation you've had with Tony please."

Emmet watched as Peter cried, for the most part apathetic at the disply. But the smallest part of humanity he'd managed to dredge up did feel bad for Peter " Yes, I know about that and im sorry for your loss. How are your children " he culd only imagine the pain they must be feeling at the loss of there mother. Emmet had assumed that Peter would obviously want revenge on Toney, but on some level he actually liked Tony and he wasnt really doing anything, sans murdering Alexia which didnt truthfully bother him as he wasnt close to him and the attack on Jessica which had been Clyde at the time. Tony was working on a concoction to help tip the scales against the zombies. Tony was a dick, no doubt about that, but still..." Im sure if youve healed Jessica then youve also talked to her about this too. I know only a slight more. After she black out I assisted Tony in his work, in exchange for the antidote to saving Jessica. He handed it to me and we left "

Peter nodded, his Lie Detection hadn't gone off so Emmet was telling the truth, but it wasn't enough he wanted to find Tony, which was hard considering he couldn't use Molly's ability, that was his main method, and painting was much harder to use, Tony could be anywhere, he couldn't decipher his location from paintings maybe back when Civilization was more abundant but the surface was a barren wasteland so now it was much harder. "Thanks, and there not taking it well, some of the Soldiers are taking care of them right now, Tracy went to pick them up..I'm just not in the condition to raise them right now" He said, he was unstable, emotionally unstable, and he knew when his emotions got the better of him, he didn't want his children to be hurt. "Alright then, so..he's working on an antidote against the Zombies" Alright well, the Zombies obviously a big problem, I might have to let him live if I want to bring down Ferlina, but once the Zombie Apocalypse is over and done with, Tony's day is coming. "What kind of "assistance" did he want from you? Your tears?" He asked referring to his tears regenerative qualities.

Emmet shrugged " Immortal unkillable help. Basically I was a test dummy. He injected me with a few of his test ones until we finally found the correct mix. As for where Tony is at this present moment, I havent a clue " whic was true. Tony was definetly no longer at the arctic. He would be out, talking to certain people to execute whatever his plans were.

Peter nodded, what he said make sense, and there was no lies yet, he sighed, he was no closer to locating Tony, he wondered if he ever could, even if he used super speed, the landscape was so empty, it would be near impossible. "I see that makes sense" He said in response to the comments about being immortal." well then thanks for the help" He slumped down into the chair, and sighed, he had no way of avenging Alexia's death, or reviving her, plus he had to let Tony live anyway since he seemed to have the key to stopping the Zombie problem. "Well thanks, do you mean If I have some meatloaf..it's just I can't cook, and Alexia's..well you know" He said, with a sad look.
Emmet starred at Peter for awhile, finally he sighed " Yeah....I suppose it's ok " sheer sympathy was staying a biting comment. The guys wife had just been killed and he was a mess. Emmet didnt feel that was his problem, nor Gabriels for that matter. But still what was the saying about doing a good deed? For the life of him he couldnt remember, but for the time being, Peter being there was bearable.

Peter nodded, he was glad Emmet hadn't sent him away, ever since she died he was having mood swings, from angry, to spiritual, to just plains sad again. With the situation with Tony being like it was, he was back to just being sad, all he wanted was for Tony to die a slow painful death at his hands. "Thanks Emmet" He said as he leaned up a bit, he hadn't eaten in a long while.

Gabriel opened his eyes, his mind brooding over what he'd just learned " Godric " he said to name outlowd. Making it more real. So Emmets twin brother was named Godric. It seemed they shared similar abilities. In immortality anyways. He saw Cassamdra and Alucard playing near the entrance of the mobile unit. Cassandra saw him

" Daddy, some man is talking to mommy. He was scary and he had a scar " she ran her little finger across her face and Gabriel instantly knew who she meant. Gabriel was in the mobile unit in an instant before a nano second. He looked from Peter sitting down and Emmet leaning against the counter. Accessing the situation quickly, he realized nothing bad was happening and immediately relaxed.

Emmet blinked and Gabriel was standing right next to him " Oh, just in time. Go tell everyone Dinners ready " he smiled in a reassuring way to tell his husbad that everything was fine " Peters joining us "

Gabriel nodded teleported outside " Time to eat " he would leave Jessica for now. She still needed to rest.
