Looking up at the girl, he slowly took the hankie into his hands and muttered a 'Thank you..' Dabbing his blue eyes he pulled on a fake smile and handed it back to the girl. 'Im sorry but I don't believe you, What I did was my fault and I shouldn't be forgiven...' Standing up, Reiko walked over to the wooden benches and sat down. His wings hanging over the back, tilting his head up he looked up at the ceiling and the paintings upon it. Cherubs and doves covering the vast expanse of the roof was really relaxing for the boy.

"Your welcome..." Standing up again puting the hankie back in her pocket," Everyone deserves forgiveness, another chance. I got one." Hikaru said remembering her past a little, why she was the only one who lived she didnt know... "It was an accident. You cant blame yourself for something you didnt mean to happen."
Looking towards the window realising the rain had subsided a little,"I'll take this time to get home. Lighter rain easier to fly in. Think about what I said. Sayonara" Running down the asile between the pews her shoes clip clopping on the floor her braid hair whipping the air then flying out the door and a wave behind her to the Preist and Reiko and array of black feathers left behind in the doorway...

Looking up as the girl spoke to him, taking in the words she said, but still utterly confused. 'How could someone deserve a second chance, I killed someone! Doesn't that mean I deserve to die aswell?' As all these thoughts ran through his head he barely heard the girl say she was leaving, turning to face her, just as she took a run for the doors, he nodded as she flew out and waved.
Turning back to Abel he muttered quitely 'What do you think Father? Do I deserve a second chance, evern after I killed the one that took me in and gave me shelter? Do I even deserve to be looked upon?' Sighing heavily Reiko streatched his wings and started to chuckle slightly. 'Maybe I should get those people from the Labs take me like they took my family...'

Abel shook his head and placed a hand on the boys shoulder gently. “Come now, everyone deserves a second chance, it’s those who waste their chances that are true sinners” he smiled down at the little winged boy “I know a lot of people who where taken for experiments, I’m sorry for what happened to you’re family, I could never wish that kind of thing upon anyone, nor should you” he said sadly, looking over to a door at the back of the church, “Come now, you must be cold, Can I get you a drink to warm up and let your wings dry off….How does hot chocolate sound?” he asked, his own eyes glittered a little at the idea of a hot chocolate….with marshmallows! …Oh, only if Hugh hadn’t already devoured them all. He stumbled off into his own thoughts till He cleared his throat and smiled at the boy. “well?”

Blinking rapidly at the male he asked. 'H..hot Chcoclate..?' Pulling his knees to his chest the boy thought, he knew he had heard the words hot chocolate before but where he wondered? His face became blank as he began to search through his memories, opening ones he wanted and ones he didnt. He found it! His face glowing with happiness he stood up and shouted. 'Hot Chocolate, can I really have some?!?!' Jumping onto the priest he hugged him. 'Please, please, please, please!' Realising what he was doing Reiko let go of the priest muttered a quick 'Sorry' and bowed. 'Sorry about that Father, I didnt mean to...' Smiling gently at Abel, Reiko felt safe for once in his life.

Abel blinked at the boy and laughed half nervously. He had to admit, he was used to people being affectionate towards him, I guess it came with being so liked. “hmhm, no need to apologise its quite aright” he smiled, blushing a little. He grinned at the boy and took his shoulder in an almost fatherly way, “of course you can, I think I have some cake somewhere, if you’d like some of that too, unless I ate it already, heh I lose track of what I’ve eaten. Hmm, I’m actually quite hungry now…” he muttered, drifting into talking to himself again “hm, anyway” he said, brining his mind back to the room, steering the boy over towards the back room he smiled “I think we have marshmallows too, they go well with hot chocolate.” He grinned, entering the little room which appeared to be a small home, with everything needed for three people to live there, there where photos, newspaper clippings on the walls in amongst the religious sculptures, candles and paintings. Abel smiled and gestured at a seat at the main table, covered over with a plain white cloth, it was clear a woman lived here, all the flowers where fresh and everything was cleaned. He went over to a cupboard and started to rummage for the chocolate. Putting a pan of milk on and fetching cups. However if you looked close enough, you could see ammo, silver bullets, knives, swords, nails and crosses, guns that are in the process of being cleaned sitting around the room, tucked away amongst innocent items. “Where are you from child?” he asked, mixing the milk as it warmed up, adding a large dollop of cream to it, humming as he did so.

The boy followed the male into the room and began to look around. Seeing the few weapons scattered around made him feel a little uncomfortable, pulling gently on his pony tail he walked towards the table and took a seat. Watching the man as he dropped the dollop of cream into the sauce-pan. The question of where he came from confused the boy, he couldn't remember where he had first lived, so he just told the man where he currently was staying. 'Im living in the bell tower Father, I can't remember my first home or my second for that matter...' Sighing Reiko looked down at his hands that still playing with his strands of hair. 'I can hardly remember my family...' A pained laugh escaped the boy as his eyes started to fill with tears again. 'But maybe, its better this way, cause don't they say, everything happens for a reason?'

“the bell tower?” the priest laughed, pouring the hot chocolate carefully into the two mugs resting on the side. “Oh well that explains a lot, I was under the impression I had very large owls up there, must have been you I could hear scratching around” he smiled, turning round and going over to the table, smiling softly at the boy. “Well, Some believe that, Though I tend to believe that good things happen for a reason, bad things only happen because bad people cause them” he sighed, placing the mugs down “If there where no bad people in this world, like those scientists…It would be a much better place by my reckoning” he smiled again, picking out a bag of marshmallows and outing them between them, taking one and popping it into his mouth with a blissful smile. “My boy, trust me, what happened to your family was most certainly not your fault” he said softly taking a sip of his chocolate. Hmm, needs sugar” he smiled, adding a spoonful. “well It seems all I’ve done is ask you questions since you got here, would you like to ask me anything?” he asked, adding the thirteenth sugar to his chocolate and stirring it.

Listens carefully at the priests words and nodded to everything he agreed on. Picking up his cup of hot chocolate and blowing on it gently before taking a small sip. Holding the cup gently within his hands but rested carefully upon the table Reiko asked. 'Father, why are there bad people in this world that want to do us harm?' Picking up a marshmellow he dropped it into the cup hearing a small splash he picked up another and again dropped it in. 'Father, Are you gifted? Fiddleing with the cup handle Reiko watched as the marshmellow began to slowly melt.

Abel sighed “well that’s a hard question, I’m a priest and I believe that people are bad. Because they don’t know how to live…they don’t know rules and morals….they don’t have faith to guide them “ he shrugged, striping his chocolate thoughtfully. He watched the boy with a fond smile. “Oh me? Yes…In a way, I believe it was…..something that was done to me as a child….I have powers with blood….” He said, not real liking going into a lot more detail than that. “I work for a group that….work as a gifted police” he smiled, pointing at the weapons around “In case you where wondering” he smiled.

Reiko nodded as the man answered his questions, pick the mashmellow from the cup Reiko popped it into his mouth and began to chew on it gently. Looking again around the room at the weapons on the floor he shivered again. Swollowing the soggy sweet he then took a sip from his cup. 'Mmm, its nice...' Taking a bigger sip and smiling brightly he ate another mashmellow. Looking up at the male he blushed at his childish activities. 'Father, What do the people do, the ones you work for...I mean?' Thinking back to the Lab Rats that hae chased him for many years he started to shake slightly. Looking again at the weapons he began to get the impression that the Priest worked with them. 'No he couldn't could he, he seems too nice! But is he trying to lead me on, thinking hes the good guy...?' Reiko's mind swam with confused thoughts about the male infront of him. Looking back at his cup he stared into its depts as if asking the liquid for an answer.

Abel nodded in agreement "It is actually If I do say so myself, I love sweet things" he laughed taking another sip and raising an eyebrow at the boy. he smiled softly "my child, I'm a priest, I work for the Vatican, in Rome. They...well the Look after gods children all over the world, We're just a very tiny part of it." he said gently. "I work for one of the top people in the Vatican, Caterina Sforza, She's a cardinal, lovely woman if a bit harsh at times, I've known here for many years now....There’s no need to be afraid of us, we only...deal with bad gifted...and people who treat gifted wrongly." he finished, taking a sip of hot chocolate. “we’re here to protect people like you….Which reminds me, I need to ask you, Would you like to stay with us? There’s two other priests who work here, sister ester and father Hugh. If you’d like we can easily find you Some where to stay, either with me at my home, or here with ester….she could use and extra set of hands, and I’m sure the man I live with will have plenty of room” he thought out loud, waiting for the boys answers.

Reiko looked back down at his cup and started to wiggle the cup around watching the contents swirl inside it. He began to feel quite guilty upon thinking the Priest who was helping him, a bad person. Picking up yet another marsh mellow he squeezed ing between his finger tips, watching as it flattened out under the pressure. Nodding gently, he had heard of some sort of group that was trying to help the gifted but didn't believe there was a group of such. He had always helped himself. 'Caterina Sforza, she sounds scary...' Blushing greatly he then cleared his thoart and quickly added, '..but I bet shes a nice person!' Sighing he pulled his pony-tail round and began to run his fingers throught the blue stands, his eyes widened at the Priest's offer to live in a home. An actual home! With other people, friends? 'But ive never had any friends!' he thought downhearted. 'I...I don't know....I just, im a stranger. Nothing special, im not sure you would want me around...' Laughing very slightly his then stopped and tugged on his hair a few stands falling out.

Abel laughed “oh, don’t worry, she’s very scary. She’s always telling me off for spending to much, or being late, or having white hair….Actually I’ve never understood that one, I think she just does it when she runs out of things to get at me for.” He mumbled thinking aloud. He smiled at the boys wide eyed surprised at the kind offer. “Oh don’t be silly boy, This is what we do, Gifted are gifted because they are special, and they need to be treasured and protected, God granted them a gift for a reason. You’re more than special my child” he smiled widely, closing his eyes and sipping his drink gently. “I think I know somewhere you can go, threes a another boy there with wings too, You’d get along, you have a similar story to tell, I’m sure you’ll have penalty in common” he smiled, eager to help the boy regain friends and a new sense of family as quickly as possible, it was not healthy for a child to be alone, epically at this time of year. It’s a season for compassion, sharing, love and devotion to the lord, a perfect time to take in a child, Just another tiny move in the grand game of live.

Laughing gently as Abel named most things he got told off for, Reiko couldn't believe there was another person who was told off as much as he was. Blowing lightly on the liquid and rasing it to his lips he took another sip. 'Another person with wings?' Placing his cup back on the table he started to feel alittle stupid. 'Of course theres other people with wings...' Clearing his throat he quickly added, 'With a similar story? Father could I, could I really have a home?' Blushing brightly and looked down, he couldn't believe an offer was open for him, Reiko, the loner. The Freak. 'What day is it?' he thought, 'Christmas, oh god its nearly Christmas! The chruch.' Looking round at the door that they had entered into the room they were now sitting, Reiko remembered that every year he liked to light a candle in memory of his family and place it in the chruch. Because there was no grave he couldn't go to them to wish them greetings so he believed the best connection would be from the chruch itself. 'Thats why I like this place so much.' he thought out loud. Looking up at the tall male opposite him he grinned, 'Oh sorry did I say that out loud, I didn't mean to heh heh, ooooh.' Quickly picking up his cup he took a big gulp of the drink and avoided the mans eyes.
