Death's return (Faith/Open)

[death]

After coming his return from Britain he wanted to go back to X-men and see what has happened since his disappearance. As flown his way to the mansion he noticed all the people walking in New York. He felt his anger rush to his head as he wanted to destroy humanity for what they did to him. But first he had to get back at Weapon X for making him into this thing, and he will make sure they fear the darkness. It had been some time since he'd been at the mansion and wondered how much had it changed. He heard a lot of things had been happening to it along with the death of there head. Though he knew that that wouldn't stop him, he must have come back due to the news he heard.

Death then slowly descended down in front of the mansion and walked on its grass. The dark matter formed a giant cloak over him covering his face with the hood. His white bandages contrasted against the dark matter cloak as he walked towards the front of the school. His red eyes shined behind the shadow that the hood created on his face while he looked around. The clock looked like it was ripping it's self a part in the wind but seemingly repairing itself. But before he reached the door he noticed some one approaching him and wondered who would so such a thing.

Faith had tried to relax after being left alone by Logan and Jean. She tried to lay down and sleep, but the sandman had evaded her once again. Or that she was too frightened to get any sleep. So she had gotten to her feet and paced the room like a caged animal wanting to get out. After a half hour, she gave up and decided to check out the rest of the mansion. She left the room, and felt something dark and threatening coming. So she headed toward the front hoping to see if she can tell what direction it was coming from.

It wasn’t long before she came face to face to a male wrapped in darkness and gauze bandages. Red eyes were looking out from underneath a dark hood that seemed to be made from the same material of this cloak. She sniffed the air and smelled anti-matter. She remembered being exposed to it while under Weapon X’s care, and she fought to control her anger once more. She didn’t want to screw up any chance she had here by going on a rampage and injuring anyone along the way.

Faith felt her fists clench and her claws slowly descending as she tried to keep a lid on her temper. She began to breath heavily, and gritted her teeth. It took quite an effort on her part, but she had managed to bring her temper under control again. ”Who are you?” She asked rather bluntly. She was not a people person, and it showed.

[death]

Death looked to the girl in front of him as she approached him and asked him who he was. Being a mute he of course couldn't answer her and didn't speak. He looked to her with his blood red eyes getting a good look at her. Death had a feeling he'd seen her before, but he couldn't full remember. The memory was fading fast and he wasn't going to bother himself with trying to remember her. She didn't seem that much important anyway and to him she was just trying to protect the mansion. He looked passed her to the mansion and pointed to it as he started to walk past her. Death wondered if she was going to attack him, which of course was going to anger him. But his face was always trapped in a angry way. Though he might have always came across as a monstrous person due to the way he looked.

The mansion looked the same and for the girl he wondered if she was following him. Him being a mute was the only problem with with other people. He couldn't tell them what he was or what he was going to do. But it was good at the same time for people left him alone when he didn't talk back. Death wondered what she was going to do seeing as he wasn't answering her. He wasn't looking for a fight but if she wanted to he wasn't going to back down.

[lycan]

Faith watched as he pointed to the mansion behind her, and then it dawned on her. He was mute. She sniffed the air again, this time trying to see if she could pick up anything other than the anti-matter, and then she found anger. She also picked up on that he wasn’t going to attack anyone. So she relaxed from her attack and protective stance. She however was not relaxed as some of the others she could sense nearby. She was still full of anger, and was fighting to keep the anger from lashing out at this mysterious figure as he began to walk past her.

She suddenly remember something, and reached out a hand to stop him for a brief moment. ”I remember you now. I had seen you at the Facility run by Weapon X.” She told him as she let his arm go, to let him know that she had meant no harm. She watched him and waited to see what he would do, and of course was ready for him if he attacked her.

[death]

Death felt the her touch on his gazed up arm and looked to her with his blood red eyes. His eyes then widen as she pointed something out, she saw him in Weapon X? Then like a roller coaster the memories flooded back into his mind. His hand shook a bit as he had to held his mind to all the quick memorization of the pain that he tried to held back. And Faith might have not known it but she just broke a couple of years of repression and blocking of memories. Looking to her he then remembered who she was and got angry. His eyes then glowed a darker shade of red as the cloak on him disappeared. When it did it showed almost his entire upper body was covered in bandages. Death hung his head down as his arms spread out, his breathing could be heard. Questions ran through his head on why would a Weapon X member would be here.

Then the dark matter rushed out of his body surround him in ribbons of the stuff circling him. He tilted his head slightly up, looking at her with one eye behind the ribbons of the dark matter. The grass around him started to die a bit with the dark matter touching it. After a few seconds the dark matter gathered in his right hand and made a scythe with a chain that wrapped around his arm. The dark matter in his hair flowed with the wind as if the hair was coming a part, like a flame in the wind. He lifted his entire head up and looked at her with disgust, not fully knowing she left that life behind. But he didn't care, he blamed all of the people at Weapon X even the ones that left. And he was going to show them what to be afraid of in the dark.

[lycan]

Faith’s suspicion was not completely unfounded. She saw him get angry even more, and she couldn’t blame him. However when he began to arm himself, she took up her defensive stance once again. Her claws extended fully, and she crouched waiting for his attack. From what they did to her, she knew that anti-matter was no match for her claws. She could effectively slice through the dark stuff and it not harm her.

When he looked at her in disgust, she snarled at a warning at him. He may be able to cause death to living things around him, but she couldn’t die from his attacks. It was also something that the scientists had tested her with as well. She tried to talk her way out of this, but she had a feeling that it may not completely work. ”Hey, I’m not with them. Not after what they did to me…” She said, still ready to defend herself incase he decided to attack her. She wondered if someone would come running to see what all the commotion was about if she threw him into the wall…

[death]

Death looked to her as some of the dark matter was still circling around him. He heard her spoke her side that she wasn't part of them after what they did to her. He understood want to escape from there clutches and it seemed she had succeeded just like he did. But he still didn't trust her, when she left she was still doing what they wanted her to do. And for him it was hard to trust anyone, seeing as he went years without peoples help, besides the X-men of course. It also just recently crossed his mind that he had been gone for a long time. And with being gone things might have changed without him knowing. Hell the mansion got attacked while he was going so of course things would have changed. And if she was in the mansion that meant that they trusted her enough to let her in. At least he didn't have to worry much of Weapon X now since he just got back.

The dark matter scythe melted away and floated around him circling him with the rest of it. Some of the dark matter went back into his body as the rest went back to form his cloak. His eyes returned back to blood red with out the glow and he calmed down a bit. Of course he still wasn't going to talk, it just meant that he was a bit better now. Still having the headache however he held his head slightly rubbing it, his blackened nails shinning a bit to the dawning sun. He continued to look to Faith who was still in her defensive position. Death wondered how she escaped, when he escaped he barely survived seeing as they knew most of his weaknesses though he wondered if they lost it by now.

[lycan]

Faith saw her tactic work, and he calmed down enough to unarm himself. She slowly stood up and retracted her claws, knowing that he wasn’t going to attack her yet. She saw him rub his head and wondered if he was having trouble. She sighed knowing that some of the experiments that were conducted at Weapon X had side effects from using their infused powers, and wondered if this guy was one of them. She of course wasn’t, but that didn’t mean that she couldn’t let him suffer.

She then held out her hand remembering what Jean had showed her a few hours ago, and was willing to help him. ”I can get you some pain medication for your head, if you want. I’m just waiting for my father…Logan to show me to a room that I can use.” She offered her help to him. She still found it uncomfortable to call a man she had just met her father. She knew he was her father, as it was beat into her everyday of her life that if she wanted to be like him she would have to do better. She waited on the mysterious guy’s reaction to her help.

[death]

Death headache grew but not from the power he was using but the years of repression that he had done on his memories. When Faith mentioned Weapon X and remembered she was part of it it opened up a flood gate to his mind. Which he worked hard on trying to keep them locked away and forgotten. That didn't mean that he wasn't going to get revenge on Weapon X and the people there. It just meant that he wanted to forget the pain they caused him. He wondered what how Faith escaped from the place. And from what he could remember she was one of the important ones over at the facility. Along with some other people that he wasn't going to bother and remember right now. He just wished he could push everything back in the deepest corners of his mind again. But now that was an unattainable idea, seeing as the lock on it broke and is now free.

After a few seconds he looked to Faith who approached him and held out her hand to him. He looked down to her with his red eyes wondering what she wanted. She appeared to want to help him with his headache and wondered if this medication could even help. It was worth a try however and he nodded to her as he started to walk to the mansion. He wondered why she wanted to help him, he wondered if it was because they originated from the same place. Maybe she felt bad and wanted to help him get ride of his pain, whatever the cause it didn't matter to him. Once this headache was gone and he made sure that the mansion was alright he was going to disappear anyhow.

[lycan]

Faith led him quietly into the kitchen. She got a glass down and filled it with water, and handed it to him. She then rummaged around the cabinets, looking for the first aid kit or some over the counter pain medicine. She must have searched for what seemed like hours but was only actually a few minutes before she found it. She grunted like she had just found a trail of wild game in the forest and was hunting it. Instead, she opened the bottle, poured out a dose into her hand and held it out for him to take.

She had no idea what he was thinking, and she couldn’t care if she did. She just stood there waiting on him to take the offered help from her. She tried to not think of her life up until she showed up here at the mansion. She couldn’t afford to lose her temper now, if she did she would defiantly lose control and tear this place apart. Just was kind of impression would that make on both Jean and Logan? That she couldn’t control herself, and that she had to be taken care of like a misbehaving pet? Not something she would want to find out.

[death]

Death went into the Kitchen as Faith showed him the way towards it. The school hadn't changed much from what he could see and the feel for it wasn't all that different. He could however see some changes however were made since he was last there. Death could tell that people stomped through the halls. It must have been Weapon X or what he assumed was Weapon X. Seeing as they were the only ones stupid enough to try while knowing that this place had people that could rip them to shreds. He sat down on a chair near a table in the kitchen his cloak disappearing as he sat down. He found no point in having it on seeing as he was in the school and most people knew him. And if they didn't it didn't matter to him at the moment seeing as he didn't care for what people thought of him. The bandages clinched onto his skin tightly not really letting go even when he sat down.

He noticed Faith placed down a cup of water and was looking for some pain killers in the pantry's. Death looked to the water with his red eyes and noticed that his eyes shinned off the water. He twisted his head slightly to the left getting a good look on how he looks. He knew how he looked under the bandages. Death then was broken from his thoughts as he was presented with the medication. He took it in his bandaged up hand and made the dark matter cover his face. With his other hand and pulled down the bandages from his nose down to his neck and grabbed the water. He then popped the medication in his mouth and drank the water. After he was done he pulled up the bandages back up to his nose covering his face and absorbed the dark matter covering his face.

[lycan]

Faith watched as he took the medicine and wondered how to get him to communicate with her. She was sure that he had questions about her, and she was more willing to talk to him about her past than anyone else. All because they seemed to have come from the same place. Then an idea came to her, and she then turned around before rummaging inside the drawers around the room.

She finally found what she was looking for, and returned to the guy with a pen and paper in hand. She then placed them down in front of him next to his glass of water. She then leaned back, and crossed her arms over her chest and patiently waited on him to pick up on her idea.

[death]

After Death took his medication and fixed his bandages to cover half of his face he continue to look down at the glass. He didn't completely drink the entire glass of water and looked at his reflection. And from the reflection he noticed that Faith was still looking at him. He wondered what she was thinking of as she looked towards his way. She seemed to get an idea as she left to go search for something. He didn't pay to much attention to her as he was thinking about his situation. After staying here for a moment he knew he had to go back to New York. He had to find a way to get Weapon X's attention and hope to gain information about it. Though he wouldn't talk there were ways to get people to tell him what he needed with out him talking.

Faith broke him for his thougths as she approached him again and place a paper and pen next to the glass of water. Death then looked up to Faith with out moving his head only his eyes. He caught that she was simply standing there and wating for him to do something. It seemed she wanted him to write down what he had to say so they could communicate. Grabbing the pen he started to write on the paper. What do you want to know girl?

[lycan]

Faith read the paper after he had written a question down. She then looked up to him, and nodded her head. Her idea was working, and that is all that mattered. ”I want to know who you are, and what you plan to do.” She informed him as she told him what was on her mind. She was sure he had questions for her, as if he was suppose to be a weapon for Weapon X they would have taught him to extract as much information as possible before eliminating his target. Just like she was taught.

As she waited on his answer, she listened to the rest of the mansion and kept track of the others that were nearby. She had to make sure that they were not bothered during their little talk. This was something that no one else needed to know, unless it was Logan. That was a different story, as she knew he wanted to make sure they stopped experimenting with his DNA. She was going to have to make sure that they destroyed any samples of hers as well so they don’t attempt to clone her either. She knew that there was a major war coming because of this, and she was determined to keep the Howlett DNA from going any further than it already has gone.

[death]

Death waited for the girl next to him to answer his question with her questions for him. Then when she asked he nodded and grabbed the pen and brought the paper next to him. My name is Death and I was as you would have guessed used to be a part of Weapon X I escaped about three years ago. I came back from Britain to exact my revenge against Weapon X and make sure they fear the darkness that is about to come. But I must know who are you and what are you doing here. Along with how did you get here and what has changed with in Weapon X since I've been gone.. After he finished writing down what he had to he presented the paper to her. He wondered if that was enough to fill her curiosity, at least for up to that point. But Death knew that those two wasn't the only questions she wanted to ask. She might have more for him but that was going to wait for the time to come.

Seemingly he closed his eyes and payed attention to all the noises around him. Not talking an listening for the good remainder of his life gave him good listening skills. And it was good seeing as he could detect the slightest noise change around them. It seemed that Faith was doing the same most likely to make sure no one listened into there conversation. Or more likely what Faith said to him in anyway and made sure the information didn't get out.
