Snippet #1376157

Zius turned to the man who spoke to him, Vincent, as the dossiers had labeled him. He had several very interesting powers, but it wasn't him that he was interested in at the moment. "Actually it's Zius, as in Z-eye-us. Zeus is a greek god and I regret to inform you all that I am nowhere near the status of a god, though I have dated a girl named Aphrodite. Man she was gorgeous..but I digress." He cracked a smile, clapping a mechanical hand on Vincent's shoulder with cold calculating precision.

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news Vincey, but it is far far worse than a few broken bones. You're lucky to be alive man, but you are, and that proves that you are indeed a worthy leader. Everyone seemed to make it out ok at least." At this he focused his attention on Violet, smiling at her storm colored eyes and her stern look. She seemed to be trying to set him on fire with her eyes, though he wouldn't doubt that she could with all the experiments done on the three people in this room.

Despite the cold stare, he kept his features calm, turning his attention back to Vince who was trying to turn on the lights. So this place has its own generator, that's good to know. "Well that I can't tell you. I have no idea where everyone is or why the power's out. To run everything off of a single generator doesn't seem like a very smart thing to do, but I'm sure you guys knew what you were doing. If you want I can go have a look and see if I can get the generator going again. I'm quite the electrician, for obvious reasons." He smiled and held up his arm, flexing the mechanical fingers.

Zius didn't even so much as glance over at Vi when she pulled the blanket up to her chest, but her words triggered an automatic response in him and he smirked as he looked at her. "Did you know you have the cutest little belly button?" He laughed at that, turning his attention back to the boss. The question could have been taken in a number of ways and he laughed inwardly as he could almost hear the gears cranking in Violet's head. "Anyways Vince, boss, leader, head of the unit..." He snickered at that last one. "Whatever I'm supposed to call you. Shall I go check everything out? Maybe get this place fixed up?"
