Spike span round, his metal fingertips drawn out again into daggers, ready to pounce on this new stranger. The man, or rather beast, stalked towards Vi as if he had known him for years, although Spike had never seen this furry face. "Who the hell are you?" Spike spat at him, his fingers wide apart, stiff with anger. He was angry firstly at himself, for attacking someone who took him in, secondly at Irina for making a smart, but annoying comment, and lastly at this new stranger who had wandered in so casually, yet Vi had made no recognition to him yet. That might be beacuse he's unconcious. "Oh Shit!" Spike said in realisation, returning to monitoring his companion. "Dude, I'm sorry, don't go knocking on the gates of hell yet, you only just knocked and ran the first time." He said, padding the wound with his jacket, stemming the bleeding. "And You," He wheeled around to the tiger, pointing an accusing finger. "You better not be a spy, pretending to be one of us. Who the hell are you anyway?..." He paused, watching Vi's face twist in pain. "Irina, do you have any pain killers or anything? Or can you steal some from the houses?" He asked, knowing that although Vi's body heals, his mind still inflicts pain where the wound should be for much much longer.

Looking past Spike, Irina eyed the new stranger with wary interest. She'd never seen or heard of the likes of him before. Being new to Light's Nemesis herself, she relied on Spike's reaction to help her judge what was going on. Seeing that Spike didn't know him, she wanted to keep an eye on the Tiger. "I don't have any painkillers," she replied to Spike, still watching the stranger. "The only drugs anyone has around here are illegal. They'd definitely work as painkillers, but I doubt you'd want to deal with the side effects - I certainly don't. But I'll go and see what else I can find." She took two steps backwards and leapt skyward, towards the towering blocks of apartment buildings not far off. There was a place that she had in mind which might have some legal drugs about.

Vi suddenly sat up, healed but still in pain. He had his eyes closed in concentration, not that it mattered whether they were opened or closed, since his vision was always the same blackness. He pulled Spike to his knees and grabbed the guy's neck, pulling him close. "What the..?!" Spike began, realising that Vi wanted to say something, he quietened to hear the man's whispered. "Go to the street, there's a disturbance, something just fell. I want to know what happened. Falling seems to interest me lately." He said simply, smriking, he lay back down as if he had never sat up. "Go." Vi said again, propping himself up on his elbows, facing the newcomer with Eolyn and Xei to his right. They were being unusually quiet, probably stunned by the developing situation. Spike nodded and threw himself off the edge of the building, his wings unfurling with elegance and power. He flew over the rooftops, falling slightly to see what was on the ground, and soon was out of sight. "What business do you have?" He asked the newcomer in harsh, demanding tones.

"The name's Tiger, spikey," Tiger said, grinning in a creepy way. He turned to Vi and that smile faded into a grim smirk. "I've been watching your kind for a long time, Vi. About a month." He began to twiddle with a dagger he pulled off of his belt as he spoke. "I haven't heard any of the plans, just seen a few battles and such. I'm pretty sure you've heard me before, or one of your minions saw me. I'm thinking of quitting being a renagade and joining your little... organization here, eh? I can spy pretty damn well, and considering my track record of spying, I can help well." He took off logos and trinkets for evil companies and symbols that used to be on war banners. "I've spied for nearly everyone. Nazis, USSR, Stalin, you name it. Since I'm part tiger, I've practically lived longer than most people suffering wars have," he continued, laughing manically at the thought. "When the wars are over, if we lose, I plunder the loot from the war and scram, if we win, I get my reward and book it. I last the war and 'dissappear' after." His eyes turned ice-cold as he began again. "I can never work for America or any country like it. They hate me. The countries I work for, well, I do my buisiness and leave. They don't care about freaks. They make freaks. It's the war they're concerned about, not me." "And those Savior freaks... They tried to kill me when they saw me maiming a human, well, they tried to stop me. I got away, yeah, but they have no brains. Why protect those out to kill us? Sure, they're the 'good guys' for sticking up for the weak and worthless, but Disney ain't right on that front." "What'cha say, Vi? A valuable spy?" He leaned closer and grinned grotesquely. "Another minion?"

Vi wrinkled his nose. When he lost his sight at birth, he depended on other things to understand his eniroment a little more. Sure he didn't know what a lasagna looked like, but he could hear one from a mile off if he tried, and the smell sure was strong when he was in the vicinity. Currently, all he could smell was wet cat. We waved his arm in front of him, trying to wave away the smell desperately. Sure, a spy would be useful, currently he considered everyone to be a little more battle worthy than behind the scenes. Someone with experience is always a dedicated follower, but with his track record of taking everything for himself and running the prospect of him actually doing anything was slim. However, numbers was what mattered in a war between the minors. He knew they were lower than the others, and taking on another smelly person might just be what wins it for them. He nodded at last after a moments hesitation. "Although...Could you stand a little further away, or downwind or something, I can smell you." He waved in front of him again and turned his head a little so he could breathe the fresh air.
Then he heard something down the street. Spike seemed to be shouting him from the street. Well actually he wasn't really shouting, just talking a little louder than usual. "Looks like we should have a new hideout if this all goes well. How does the Derelict Manor House sound for a welcome party? We've gained four new members in a matter of days, so I feel like some wine, I need something for my head..." He said, wrinkling his nose again as the wind changed.

Tiger did two backflips in a row, landing squatted down on all fours. "Sure, and by the way, it might be a setback that I can't fly, but I acquired this a few years ago," he said, pulling a glider (Yes, I just made this up because I can't fly, sorry. It looks like Aang's from Avatar only it's black.) off a strap on his back, and it opened. Tiger looked at Vi then back at it. "It's not better than flying, but it's close if the wind is on our side," he said, smiling and revealing his yellow fangs again. "What now that we lost our hideout? Oh, and remind me to steal some cologne later on." He picked up his "souveniers" and dagger, and put the glider away.

Allowing him to hold her affectionately, Eolyn smiled with relief, though worry pierced her at the sight of him. She didn't try to interrupt his rant about how she wasn't there because she was with Xei so she simply nodded and apologised. She eyed the new-comer with suspicion. When the woman made a subtle remark about her and Xei, she growled, but was too amazed by Vi's sudden appearance. She was utterly speechless, as was Xei. Shy and too intrigued to talk to anybody, the boy simply figetted with his cloak and continued to listen attentively to the crowd of people. As the second new-comer arrived, Tiger, Eolyn almost smiled at his incredible body. It was unlike anything she'd seen before. She found herself staring at his odd face - he really was a tiger-human hybrid. She waved to him as a greeting though Xei turned her head away, as if in disgust, though really he just didn't want to seem like he was admiring him (for some reason). ((About the Avatar glider - nice *thumbs up*)) "That sounds like a place... though I'm going to miss the Beacon," Eolyn stated "nice glider... by the way," she said awkwardly.

Vi rolled his black marble eyes at the fact the Tiger was showing him the glider. He obviously wasn't used to be around someone who had lost their sight. Luckily, he was in a slightly more uplifted mood since Spike had shouted about the possible new hideout. "You won't really need to fly since our new hideout, if this all goes well, will be on the ground. We only fly to get around as a group, or to get away from a fight we needn't involve ourselves in." He dropped his face towards the ground, his shoulders slumped forward a little in a slightly sorrowful pose. "Yeah, I'll miss it too. Mind you, we can all adapt to the change easily, and some of you have never even been to the Beacon very much." He was speaking about Xei and Tiger, and although Irina wasn't here, he directed the comment about her also. He groaned loudly as he tried to move his arm. "I really need some painkillers..." He mused, wondering where Irina was getting them from, and if she had found some yet.

"Thanks," he replied, taking it off his back and opening the wings, he gripped the handles and tried it out, soaring around and landing on a rooftop next to the one they were on. He put it back and did a frontflip off the building , but caught himself at the last minute with his tail. It curled up until he was suspended in midair by only his tail, his limbs in a position like he was meditating: his feet were touching each other, his legs in butterfly position. His arms were touching his arches, and his tail was down, and he was standing on it. He stuck his tail up and fell, his arms up. He did a midair backflip quickly and grabbed onto the shingles. He flipped over and grabbed it again before he flipped to the side again. He repeated it 3 more times and did a frontflip, this time grabbing on with his toes. He made one swift, but jerky motion and squatted with his feet and one hand touching each other and the shingles and one hand out for balence. He jumped off with a backflip and out of sight. He soon soared back on his glider before putting it away. "Well?" he said, looking at his companions, not a single bead of sweat on his bare chest. "Sorry Vi, I know you couldn't see that."

Naruko had landed in in the Woods not far from the church just to regain his energy after being hit in the stomach from them arrows. When he gathered enough energy he flew to Ghost Block and landed on the roof. When he landed he drew his wings into his back and almost looked like a regular human except that he couldnt stand up fine even with a gaping hole in stomach. That bitch is going to pay for that... bloody kills... He thought. Drawing his eyes and looking around realising he wasnt the only one here. Looking in turn at each person and then recognsing he wasnt in any immeidiate danger as they didnt seem like the goody good type. In fact they all looked evil in some way. His eyes landed on he Tiger and realised he was holding a black glider, "Cool Glider... Quite good tricks" He said as he landed making his presence known clapping twice, No need to show off though he thought. Then just stood there waiting to be spoken to as he never usually says much anyway, and usually nothing complimentary.

"Well it sounded impressive..." Vi said in a bored voice, swinging his shoulder to try and get through the pain of movement. He heard someone land nearby, and swung his face round so he could hear better. Their heart beat was rapid and irregular, like they were hurt or suffering. Vi clicked his tongue quickly, doing it a few more times before he had an idea of who it was. They were standing casually, but slightly doubled over due to some sort of damage in their stomach. Vi had heard them speak, and it wasn't exactly familiar. "You are?" He asked impatiently, beginning to wonder why all of these gifteds were suddenly appearing in this one place. There were too many to put down to coincidence. Vi was suspicious and began to think out of a possibilty. Perhaps, just maybe, gifteds could track each other down subconciously. A pull bringing them to the same place. It was known that there were alot of gifteds in Souzetsu, and the number kept growing. It's not like the city was advertised as a freak retreat yet the weird and wonderful kept flooding in. This could play to their advantage, and also a problem. If there were so many gifted together in their new group, they were become a target if they could be tracked. However if they seperated, it might be many days and many fights until they found each other again. Vi made note of his findings and remembered to bring up the topic once they had a meeting in the new base. He then brought his thoughts back to the current time and place, waiting for the newest arrival to speak up.

Naruko's eyes were gazing at the floor. When he heard somone talk he looked up to the speaker. Before answering he realised he was blind because his eyes werent really focusing on him. He just shrugged and answered, "Naruko and yourself?" He answered in a emotionless tone. Gazing at all the new members taking in their appearances not recognising any of them. Then looked back at the person who had spoke to him awaiting a reply from him.

"Viempar Aethalon. Light's Nemesis. Have you formed a bond with either of the sides yet?" He asked, getting to the point of the discussion quickly and without fault. Some may think it was risked, but by the sound of ther person speaking, it sounded like they were not one for chit chat either. "We're always welcoming a new vicious hand for our little....family." He smiled evilly, his fangs protruding over his bottom lip, peircing his lip slightly making it bleed. Vi licked it, he was used to that happening by now.

Recognising the name from two years ago and smirked slightly deciding not to let on he knew him. After all they hadnt came into contact for two years, "I did have one but left two years ago. Wondering if I could re form it." Putting his hands in his pockets still looking at Viempar and shook his head when he bit his lip with his own fangs... Hasnt changed at all... He thought...

Vi's eyes widened as he began to recognise the voice and the pattern of how they spoke. He stood up a little straighter, unfolding his arms. "Oh you're that Naruko. Where have you been? You abandoned us as soon as the city was cured." He folded his arms again and his face relaxed, he looked younger and more carefree, alot like he did when Naruko had left. The times had changed now, and they had hardened him. This wasn't just a petty fight over whether the City should be allowed to have the cure or not, this was decided whether they should kill every person who isn't gifted and repopulate the earth with a better race. Ambitious, eh? He smiled a wide grin at his mental ramble and then remembered something he had noticed. "Are you hurt? You're heart's doing a jig." He said matter-of-factly, furrowing his brow and trying to give a questioning look.
