The Meeting (claude/aly/open

[LASERBIRD]

Shila walked through the Resistance halls. She had been sent to give the head of the active X-Men a message from SHIELD. She had never been on a mission with any of the new active X-Men. She had met Archangels son. He didn't seem so friendly. She was hoping the others were more approachable.

Probably not, she though looking down at her outfit. She had on the SHIELD spandex uniform. It sure doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination. She had knee high boots that carried a calf holster gun, along with two holsters sitting at her hips. Her hair was loose and slightly curly behind her.

Turning into a room she saw some couches and television. A sitting room? she thought. She entered and noted slightly the disorganized piles of DVD's. Seeing no one in she entered. This is as good a place as any to meet someone, she thought as she strolled over to the movies. Bending down to get a closer look at them.

She only caught a quick glimpse of the black spandex as she rounded the corner into the hallway from the kitchen. Aly hadn't been there long and to her knowledge hadn't seen anyone in this fabled X-uniform she had heard so much about (well not really, but she knew people didn't just go out in their sweats) Biting loudly into the refrigerated apple she followed the blonde, her own auburn locks bobbing gently around her shoulders.

Awkwardly the teen shuffled in after her “I think all the porns upstairs” She said after swallowing the fruit, adding a little “heh” as she sat down on one of the comfier couches. Eying up the womans attire, she couldn't really say anything about it, not the way she was dressed today, she felt like a resistance reject instead of a member in training.

“I'm Aly” She offered her free hand “Sortof a newbie here and I saw you were all packing” She indicated to the twin holsters “Though If you were a bad guy i'd be pretty fuckin' skrewed right?” Laughing nervously she eyed the door, her aqua eyes scanning the hallway for any signs of life “I mean what am I gonna do 'cept throw a half eaten apple at your head”

"Dat dere be Shila Summers, otherwise known as deh Laserbird, she's an Agent o' SHIELD so yes Aly, if she was a bad guy you'd be trés screwed." he left out the part about her being a quarter god due to her mother's heritage. No need to throw Aly completely into the deep end. Either way, Claude had really just said it to announce his presence, and make a dramatic entrance of course.

Claude was adorned in a crisp white shirt, he liked to call it his "romantic" shirt, his long v-neck that was tightened by a string reminded him of those shirts all those classy ye old british and french chaps in the movies wore, a tight fitting pair of jeans and some new boots, all topped off with his favourite hat.

"Now what be bringing you unforgettable spandex covered behind to my little ole'house all this far away?" As an Assassin of his calibur and with his respect within the guild, he of course knew she was coming, SHIELD may have been good, but if the Taskmaster could make his way into Maria Hills personal chambers, well there was no way you were sneaking up on one of the best Assassins in the planet, when in the home of the Assassins guild, they simply had too many eyes.

[LASERBIRD]

Shila shot up as she heard a female voice behind her. Her eyes rested upon a young girl eating an apple. Shila's eyebrow shot up as the girl mentioned porn Did they...watch it together? She swallowed a comment and instead took the girls hand, her mouth open to speak.

Instead she heard a rather familiar voice. Looking from the girl to the newcomer her heart fell. "Not possible" she murmured under her breath as Claude walked in. She let go of the girls hand, taking a step back.

A blast from her not SHIELD past. That was Claude. Back when Shila was a free range mutant. Protecting herself and the innocent. She was stupid, and Claude was what she had unleashed her lust and love on. Back when she was seventeen. They had been together for a good year and a half. Fighting, protecting, and doing everything together. She could smile back on very few times with him now. More often than not, they brought back sour thoughts. That had been the old her. This was the new Shila. She was a fighting machine.

Shila swallowed a strong urging to go nuts as she rested her hand on her two holstered hips. "SHIELD business Claude." she said rigidly, trying not to lose her cool, the closer he got.

"Your in charge here? Now why do I find that so difficult to comprehend." she said as she her eyes slightly at him. Her eyes flicked to the girl, still in the room.

As she released her hand they were joined by someone she was actually familiar with, Claude, the guy who hearing her distress in the middle of the night, had come to comfort her. She couldn't help but blush just a little when she saw him, if her skin wasn't the shade of freshly laid snow it wouldn't have been noticeable in the slightest. But she was in fact that pale.

The revelation of just how much she wouldn't stand a chance against Shila wasn't a surprise, still stung though. Aly had heard of S.H.I.E.L.D around the mansion, more frequently than the had heard it uttered in the outside world, before she'd came to New Orleans she'd never heard it. Period. She was just a little to embarrassed to show her ignorance and ask what exactly it was, it sounded important, only really bad ass things had an acronym that sounded like a word.

She thought of saying a greeting, but instead just looked at him for a moment, before biting into the apple, it was quite obvious that his attention was solely focused on Shila, and hers on him. She felt like she was intruding on something... swallowing louder than she had intended she glanced between the two “Well this is cozy...” she muttered to the floor. Maybe she should just leave, if he wasn't blocking her escape she would have made an excuse long before this.

"Aw come now Shila, did tha' worlds premiere intelligence agency you work fo'no tell yeah this is deh old LeBeau Mansion?" he asked, simply delighted that she had walked into and gotten all caught off guard. Yes...he was enjoying it very much. "An' guess who just so'appens to be leadin' dah clan dese days?" continued the black and red eyes mutant, still glowing with delight.

"Well come on then, what be dis SHIELD business you couldn't have called ahead to let us know about?" he asked, letting one hand roughly run over his chin, wondering if it was time to have a shave or would he let it grow a little bit. Variety was the spice of life.

[LASERBIRD]

Shila bit back a snarky comment. How could SHIELD not mention this in their report. Seeing Claude first off was bad, and now to heap this on there was worse. She gave an inward sigh as she noted the smile on his lips. He was enjoying this, that bastard.

Shifting her weight to her left leg she glanced at the girl. She was standing there shooting glances at Claude and herself. He wants to try and embarrass me? she thought grimly. Let him try.

"SHIELD doesn't drop calls Claude. We came by to inform you of another New Order recruitment going around. Stark's daughter. Apparently she's going to the more dangerous mutants and attempting to turn to the New Order's cause. We don't know how successful she's been yet. Just warn your people to be wary of her. She doesn't look like much, but we've had run ins with her in the past. Nothing lethal but she has a vast knowledge of technology and it's come to her aid before."

She crossed her arms over her chest, wishing she hadn't worn her training suit. The kevlar one was dirty so spandex it was. Glancing down briefly she noted that maybe a few more zips on the zipper would not have been a bad idea as well.

Quite obviously these two had a past, they weren't exactly stealthy about hiding it, well maybe Shila would have been if Claude wasn't trying to push her buttons so hard. Aly could see why someone would want to go out with her, blonde bombshell with a figure that certainly suited spandex, the teen felt quite insecure in comparison.

“Stark as in... the Starks?” She interjected, at last a name she actually recognised, well you'd have to be living under a rock your whole life not to have heard that name. Instantly she clamped her mouth shut, why was she getting involved here? Shuffling to the edge of the sofa she could see the door just past Claude, she could squeeze past and not cause too much of a fuss, though the mood he was in he just might make it a fuss.

"Stark's daughter? You couldn't have just e-mailed us? or rang?" He asked, really....a PDF could have covered everything. "Well look, why don't we take this into my office and go over all the details." Some classic information swapping, the way things should be done! "Nyx, come with us. Time to show you how to deal with a meeting like this." he informed, before gesturing towards the hallway. "My office is down here." he informed before leading the way.

Claude's office was a room of wood, from the floor to the bookcases that covered the left and right walls, his desk at the far end with a large window behind, giving a view of the the backyard.....and in the distance the swamp, which admittedly had some very nice views when the sun was hitting it, so mainly during summer. "Can I offer either of you something to drink?" the conversations could, at times go on for quite some time, going over criminal records, associates, associates criminal records....known displays of power, combat skills. The list went on. Claude was pouring himself a bourbon, he wasn't doing this sober.

[LASERBIRD]

Shila let out a sigh at Claude's brashness of the situation. Anything over the phone or through the internet was liable to be caught through New Order. She refused to argue the point, knowing his stubbornness would shine through. One of his least liked traits, she thought with an eye roll.

She turned to the young girl as Claude motioned them to his office. The girl looked young. And fresh apparently, by her questions. So like the Resistance, she thought, take in the young ones, and hope to train them right. She doesn't know she might as well sign up to die.

She nodded her head approvingly at Claude's office. Professional and neat. Surprising. She took a seat and leaned into it comfortably. "I'll have one of those" she said pointing to what he was pouring.

A part of her felt this was going to be a very tense and intense discussion. She sighed again and glanced over at Claude. He still looked attractive. Going for the rugged look, but still nice. He had a more impressive posture. He's a leader now, she thought.

Aly didn't quite realise that he was referring to her for a moment, the whole hush hush codename business was pretty new to her. She had, however met one or two mutants out in the New Orleans night-life that had called themselves pretty colourful names, usually something loosely based on their abilities, except that one guy who called himself 'Captain Orgazmo' he just got a nice dose of pepper spray ala Aly, his powers sure didn't combat that.

She forced a smile at him, “Awesome...” She managed through gritted teeth popping the mostly eaten apple in a waste bin. As he turned and lead the way she grimaced, he was what going to train her to be his secretary? If that thought even crossed his mind he better not voice it anywhere near her, she was small and young but she was still a fiery little redhead with some crazy suckage powers.

She was the last to enter the old fashioned office space, it looked like something her dad may have salivated over in a home style magazine back home, she no doubt thought that he would have turned her once bedroom into Ikeas wet dream by now, this was a lot more... rustic. Her yellow ballet slippers shuffled against the hardwood floor as she went to sit opposite the desk, glancing back at him she half quirked a smile as she looked at the drink, it was probably expensive and she doubted she would be able to taste the difference. It all tasted like moonshine to her.

“Whatevers easy...” She didn't want to add that 'it all tastes the same' she knew he would just take offence. Picking up an ink pen from the desk she scrutinised it “Want me to take notes? courtroom sketches?” She grabbed a piece of free paper and turned with a look of mock seriousness, putting the pen behind her ear.

"Three bourbon's comin' up." he replied, taking out an extra two glasses and preparing to pour. His ex, his pool bunny and bourbon....if it wasn't for the fact they'd be discussing the latest New Order agents he'd have thought it was a very interesting scenario. Although, Aly on bourbon was going to be funny, she was just a wee nipper. "Notes will do, you gonna tie you hair up like a nice little secretary?" he joked back, a smile playing on his face as he handed the two girls there drinks.

Sitting into his seat now, Claude rested back in the chair, his own glass balancing in one hand. "Alright den....why don't you give us the full low down on dis new agent of theirs?" asked the New York born Cajun, a more serious appearance to his face.

[LASERBIRD]

Shila lifted her eyebrow slightly at Claude's comment to the girl. Like a good little secretary? , she thought to herself. He's still into that whole thing? She shook her head slightly at the whole situation before her. Surprised off of her rocker to find that her ex was running the Resistance. And now they had to trade files. Fan-freakin-tastic.

Shila took her glass and drained half off it. She was tense, and when tense situations presented themselves with alcohol, she did what was natural. She set the glass down and looked back at Claude. Again, rugged, but still not a bad look for him at all. His fashion sense seemed to have improved. She bit her bottom lip, thinking back on some of the old times they had. Man was I young and naive back then. she thought as she shook her head slightly again.

"Wasn't always the best listener eh?" she said as she sipped off her glass.
"Not a new agent. A new recruitment drive. The recruiter is Sara Stark. She goes by the alias Sparkler. You probably have her on file. She doesn't look like much, but as I said, her knowledge of technology can be dangerous. She knows the newest things and how to work them. Her fighting is weak but she can wriggle her way out of anything."

"Our main concern here is who she's recruiting." Shila said as she leaned back in her chair, crossing her legs. "She's recruiting Omega mutants. And that's only rumors. Apparently the man she's approaching now is deadly. The Sentry's kid. He goes by Gilgamesh and he's intense stuff. He does things without a thought. He's reckless and intensely hard to contain. And to top it off, the media follows him like a hound dog. It's near impossible to get him without drawing attention to ourselves or to the cause."

"We're pretty sure he's killed before. Mutants and humans. He has no qualms with either. And he seems to do it all with a reckless abandon." Shila finished, eying Claude at the last bit.

i'm a nightmare, a disaster.
THATS WHAT THEY ALWAYS SAID.

i'm a lost cause, not a hero.
BUT I'LL MAKE IT ON MY OWN.

“Thanks” Aly replied curtly, taking the bourbon and setting it on the side in case the mood called for it. She let the smirk subtly play on her lips as he suggested being a nice little secretary, well there was always later for that kind of thing, she simply crossed her legs half swinging in her seat so she could face them both at the same time. Deftly retrieving the pen she began to scribble what Shila said.

Sara Stark- Recruitment drive- Sparkler

Aly bit back a giggle as the blonde disclosed her codename, well not everyone could steal the name of the Greek goddess of the night.

Class 5 mutants

She guessed that was better than what she could do, making people jizz in their pants would only go so far in terms of world domination.

Gilga...

The rest of the word trailed of into a shaky line as the heat from her body drained in an instant, she knew that name. Shila seemed to carry on talking regardless, Aly only hearing a faint drone as her mind wandered backwards in time, her eyes unknowingly pooling black. Gilgamesh, yes that was his name, that monster with the angelic face and the lifeforce of a black hole. The hairs on her arms began to prick up once by one as she stared blankly at the piece of paper.

Claude sat back, nodding his head as Shila explained the Gilgamesh individual. "Gilgamesh...huh...why don'cha hold on there for one little second." he informed before sliding out keyboard compartment in his desk, not actually holding a keyboard but his laptop. "You see Shila my darlin, Gilgamesh, or Jason Reynolds as he was born, was sent to Xavier's tah be educated, he started out a nice kid believe it or not, grew into a real piece o' work." he explained while the laptop booted up, and while he started looking up some files.

"So precisely how much would it be worth to SHIELD to get your hands on a copy of oh lets say....an X-man grade analysis and break down of his abilities....his medical details....first girl he ever kissed and just about everything there is to know about him." Who else would have all the important files then the person who basically ran the current incarnation of the X-men? Or maybe SHIELD knew he'd have information on their past student, sent Shila to get it out of him. He tilted the laptop around, to give Shila a brief glance before smiling one of his award winning smiles.
