Deviant

The Black Angel knew after they'd vanquished the boar demon she'd be asked into this O.C.E.A.N group by Saileyra, they worked to well for her not to. Nevertheless it seemed both were skirting around the issue for a time, the Black Angel was intrigued but didn't want to come out and ask in, and Saileyra was seemingly waiting for the proper moment. Truth be told it was a lot like asking someone out on a date in some ways, the anticipation nerve racking, but the potential rewards plentiful. The Black Angel was certainly intrigued by O.C.E.A.N, more then she'd been by any of these groups of hero's, vigilantes, and villains in quite some time. She liked to work solo, but with her role in the world becoming more.... Complicated... The Black Angel felt the time might be right for her to band together with some like minded souls.

She still had affairs she had to close out in Chicago before she could join Saileyra and O.C.E.A.N, but she certainly wasn't opposed to simply joining the group once she was finished, at the very least to see what they were about. However the Black Angel knew with her mental state following David's death, to simply leave for O.C.E.A.N would only make matters worse for her. It would be like a cut that never fully healed.... She needed time to make sense of things -If such a thing was possible-, more importantly she needed to find some order in her new life, if she was to clearly see where she was going. This she had to do alone, through some serious soul searching, it would be agonizing, but it would lead to better things for her. Hopefully that better thing is O.C.E.A.N... she thought to herself. Truth was she didn't want to be alone, but she wasn't ready to be around be people yet, and she knew it.

When Saileyra laid her invitation to the Black Angel out, it certainly sounded good to he to be a part of a group that was "A meta-human task force that fights the greater evil to maintain balance.", as Saileyra eloquently put it. "Isn't that what I'm doing now?" the Black Angel thought to herself. She knew she came off as some lone running man so to speak, so she certainly appreciated Saileyra's offer, and was sure she'd take it when the time came. How, when, and where that would be, well that remained to be seen.

The Black Angel smiled at Saileyra, softly saying "I certainly appreciate the offer.... I suppose I am the solo type.... But O.C.E.A.N sounds good... I need to sort some things out, within this city, within myself... Once I'm done though I'd love to join O.C.E.AN.... Should you still wish to have me that is. Being back in Asia.... It would be a nice extra reward for me.".

Certainly both these women were predators in their own nature, warriors, and now they were here in the climax of the situation. Here dinner, the breakfast served to both women and the offer of O.C.E.A.N had been laid on the table wide open for viewing. Gracious enough, Saileyra's pre anticipation was laid to rest with the solemn woe of the acceptance. The need to know would there be a yes? It was a possibility but none the less she seemed like her own spirit and it needed it's own command. Saileyra understood completely, there was a time where she needed no one else where she did her own thing from this time and beyond but there was something that was needed in this time.

People to preserve the time period, make sure people like her didn't fuck it up and blow shit up and other humans like that..demon thing who messed with things he shouldn't have. Terrorized cities, it wasn't cool and it could destroy humanity as many knew it. It could cause full scale wars and break into the fits of a potential war world three. Of course, she could not prevent the creation of her kind and alter the string of destiny but if one could make sure at least a couple of these meta-humans survive in her future to help the XETA cause it could be something to hope for even if it was small. These people will fall in love with others like their selves like any race they will fornicate and create more to populate and become the lesser minority, but the majority.

Her mind strung more principles together, moved them about and collated them like paper as she focused on the scene before her. Eyes scanning Angel, her sight taking in her bone structure, to her main face to her skin as her Xeno-Perception was activated and de activated briefly due to the fading adrenaline spiking and fading. Odd how that biological feature stayed with her in her change here, brief, but now the answer to her question would occur.

Her answer was something expected, someone who had unfinished business hell she had unfinished business at home and she was pretty much stuck here until he body decided to flux again as it did sometimes. Her eyes scanned the other as she nodded once, "Then it is settled. I will give you the coordinates of the HQ please remember them because I only give them once." She said, her fingers than provided a sealed high tech looking card. It was glowing, sealed, it was blue lining in green pulsating. Once her bioelectrical signature attached to it, it would glow and expand albeit others ..they didn't notice the glow was faint and it scanned her eyes only to open with a map into her brain it was a flash scan and soon enough the card would disappear after it had injected the information.

Whilst all that happened to Angel, Saileyra was chomping down on those lovely fucking Belgian waffles.

With the Black Angels tentative offer of acceptance, Saileyra produced a truly unique looking glowing card, which like Saileyra, was likely not of this world. The Black Angel took the card, which expanded into something like a hologram, which imprinted the location of O.C.E.A.N's HQ into the Black Angels brain. "So it's in the Philippines.... Dense jungle, remote islands, and among the last places someone would look for a base of this type.. Seems as good a spot as any..." the Black Angel thought as the coordinates were fully loaded into her brain. Once the coordinates were fully lodged in her mind the Black Angel said "If I forget these coordinates... I think I'll have bigger things to worry about, like my brains being sprayed all over the concrete." in a half joking manner. Then taking a more serious tone, the Black Angel said "I won't forget them... I'll use them, when the time is right, I'll come to the Philippines....".

The Black Angel then began to dig into her food, while sarcastically saying "Well I'm glad to see O.C.E.A.N is a low tech outfit like I'm use to!". The Black Angel was a relatively low tech Meta-Human, who'd gladly trade in some high tech gadget for a good assault rifle, or some ancient Chinese weapons. It wasn't that she was opposed to technology, but there was something truly romantic about using a sword, and she didn't fight enough Meta's in her past to worry about needing anything heavier then the rugged, reliable Ak-74. The Black Angel had changed, so had her mission, she'd need people like Saileyra, technology that O.C.E.A.N provided, and most importantly.... Friends...

The Black Angel smiled at Saileyra, truly hoping this would prove to be a fruitful relationship, one which could perhaps even one day turn into a friendship. As much as the Black Angel had dark secrets, Saileyra seemed to as well. The Black Angel had heard a quote once, somewhere in the Middle East, perhaps Lebanon, or maybe Syria... An Islamic Cleric told her to "Embrace the burn of the wind, as you whisper your darkest secrets into it.". It was a cryptic statement, but a true one, as their was some penance in wherever time brought them, once they slowly began to fade from her memory. Judgement was what prevented the Black Angel, this world from truly fighting evil, and forced them to need these dark secrets. O.C.E.A.N seemed to operate without the judgement, or the constraints and half measures normally used to combat evil, and operated in a truly effective, brutal way.

"Yes.... Once I'm done here.... I will travel to O.C.E.A.N" the Black Angel thought to herself.... First, she needed to meet with Detective Zambrano. The loyal, Chicago detective needed to know what happened with the South Side Ripper, as he and his men had worked as hard as anyone on this case. He needed to know the strange, open ended, ending that the she and Saileyra had made happen. Then.... She'd begin closing out her affairs in the "Windy City", as her journey was likely to take her to new places on this planet earth.

The Black Angel nodded, O.C.E.A.N sounded fantastic, "An assassins wet dream...." she thought to herself as she processed what Saileyra had said. A treasure trove of assault rifles, explosives, high tech weaponry, even more ancient weapons, it seemed to good to be true, certainly better then any outfit she'd been with through the years. Of course, she'd made her money fighting the wars of humans, this however was fighting the wars of Meta humans. The stakes were no doubt upped here, in a world of the occult, remarkable abilities, and no doubt of amazing power. Saileyra obviously had money, but if the Black Angel wanted money, she could get it for herself. She was more interested in O.C.E.A.N as an organization, and whatever part it could potentially play in whatever fate had in store for her to become.

When the bill came, Saileyra had beaten the Black Angel to the punch of paying it. The Black Angel smiled, saying "Seems that's two times I have to thank you today....". The Black Angel put the bills she'd pulled out of her pocket back, letting Saileyra flip the bill this time. The Black Angel was satisfied, she could finish what she had to here in Chicago, then work for potentially one of the best Meta organizations in the world in O.C.E.A.N. Not to mention she was more then happy she'd met Saileyra, who seemed to be a genuine person, which was a hard thing to find these days. Part of her wanted to pack her bags and run to the Philippines with Saileyra, but she needed a few answers on what had happened this night..... What was that boar demon? And why had it attacked her? Whatever the case, she didn't feel this would be the last interruption of her life....

As Saileyra and the Black Angel finshed talking, the Black Angel said "Thanks... I'll certainly use this when the time is right... Ya, best we split up for now... The police if they saw us, well we wouldn't be to hard to spot.". As the Black Angel gathered her things, she said to Saileyra "See you soon...".
