Ryan Begin listening intently to Rebekah. She was Finlay going to tell him about what was bothering her so much. What could possibly have been wrong and what was this bad she couldn't tell him. Rebekah first came out with that Ryan wasn't going to like what she had to say. Ryan felt bad because he felt like that shouldn't matter. She shouldn't have to limit what she had to say because it would cause Ryan to feel a cert en way. She should be able to tell him everything abut her life with no hesitation.

Rebekah then went on to say that in Costa Verde she was getting attacked. Ryan knew that being so far away from her was a bad move. It seemed misfortune followed Rebekah every were she went. Ryan at first thought of the simple things. "Are you OK? They didn't hurt you did they? Who are these people? Why are they after you? How many times have they attacked you? " Ryan blurted out. He then caught himself before asking her another question. He didn't want to overwhelm her with questions and make her feel like she was being interrogated.

Ryan listened to Rebekah go on about her ability not working for some reason. (Power negation?) Ryan thought to himself. He wondered if the Haitian had something to do with this or was it someone with the same ability. That got him thinking. (Had the company been responsible for these attacks? Would they know anything?) Ryan thought again to himself. He didn't want to let Rebekah know what he was thinking. Also he didn't want Fate to know about his ability or the fact that he works for a company filled with super powered agents. Ryan made a note that he will inform his mother about these attacks and see if there was a connection. (Is Rebekah the only one getting attacked or are there others?) The questions kept coming.

Rebekah Explained that she had met another guy called Henry. Ryan was a bit concerned when she then eruditely after said she phased a man into a wall and left him there. Ryan's frightened facial expression quickly changes to that of a con serened angry look. He knew that Rebekah has to defend herself but did she have to relay kill him? She could have phased his arms and feet into the wall and not his whole body. Of course Ryan felt like he got what he deserved, but still no one should have to die in this world before there time no matter how evil they are. " Rebekah since when do you use your ability to kill?" Ryan asked her shocked this sweet girl would ever do something like that.

"Its OK though, You were defending yourself and if it had to be done. That man could have killed you. I cant know what you must have been going threw but promise me never use your gift for murder ever again. It can overwhelm you and consume you. " Ryan told her. He had killed people in his past. Alto of people. Some while trying to test the extent of his ability. Some while protecting someone and some were orders to eliminate a target. Ryan was haunted by nightmares of each one. He heard screams in the dark and when he was alone he saw there dead bodies in his mind. He didn't want Rebekah to become like him.

Rebekah then stated she wasn't prod of it. Ryan smiled slightly. " Good girl." He said softly. Rebekah then went on to tell him that there were more attacks and she eventually busted into tears. Ryan felt so bad for her. He had mixed feelings. Anger from the people whom attacked her and sadness Rebekah went threw this all. He felt guilty for not being with her. He felt powerless to protect her. He felt confused about who they were and what was there reason. He felt like he could kill them all. Ryan clenched his fist.

His knuckles became white as his bones Begin to emerge. They broke the skin and Ryan grew small sharp bones on his fists, Blood trickled down his hands. " I will find the answers to who did this to you. I will make them talk. " Ryan said fulled within his rage. Black veins Begin to become visible around his eyes and arms. His eye itself grew bloodshot. His teeth transformed into fangs such as a vampire. He was so angry he wanted to get revenge. He was out for blood. " I promise you Bex they wont hurt you again. " He told her. Not realizing that his abilities had become visible to the others around him. Most notably Fate.

Mary stood listening, she didn’t really want to but she still remained standing as she watched how close these two were and it was really heart warming but that could also be the seven or eight straight shots of scotch she had taken at the bar, who knows. She didn’t like the word attack, it had several levels of the same meaning and this story definitely made it out to be the darkest type of the word. It was really pathetic, whoever was behind these attacks but hey what could she do? She only had a lousy power of illusions, what the hell kind of lame power was that anyway? Sure she could be satisfying, play a role and show what everyone wanted to see but in the end it only acted as a diversion, a method of information gathering, nothing physical.

She looked from the girl to the guy and then back as she knew the girl had something else to add but then her eyes darted back to the kid, he was….Fate blinked her eyes, rubbed her eyes, what the hell? She picked up a glass, not hers but someone else’s and took a sniff, nope it was normal alcohol so what the hell was this? Mary backed away with speed, her lips trying to say something but honestly all that came out was gasp of hot air, she didn’t believe this, how could she, why would she?

Fate never thought anyone’s power could make them like that, raged but it was really frightening and she, yeah she really thought she had been drugged or something. She dropped the glass, it smashed and it was bound to attract some attention not to mention raise her bar bill but hey, this was freaking crazy.

Of course the minute she told Ryan about the attacks he immediately threw question after question at her. She felt somewhat a little bombarded, but at the same time she had half expected it really. "I'm okay Ryan, well for now, and it depends on what you mean by did they hurt me, I was bruised in a few places, but I didn't have any broken limbs or lacerations, I don't know who they are, and in total I've been attacked twice, and the first time was just by some random guy I have to assume that a friend of his saw me do what I did to him and they tracked me down and came after me again while I was in my own apartment" she explained, through her tears. How she was able to talk at all was pretty amazing really, but she wasn't heavy sobbing this time, just tears falling.

Rebekah had no idea why her power hadn't worked that day, she never even thought about it being somebody who had the power to cut somebody else's power, this was more like fear stopped her from using her power.

She knew Ryan wouldn't be happy that she phased a man into the wall and killed him, but what was she to do? It was either him or her. She knew he would have killed her if she hadn't done what she did. Of course he then had a go at her about it, which just made her cry all the more. "I...said...I...didn't....mean....to....Ryan" she said through her heavy sobbing now. However he changed his opinion quickly when he realised she had to do what she did out of self defense.

She began to calm down again, "That's right, self defense, he would have killed me otherwise Ryan" she said with an angered voice, not at Ryan of course, just at the whole situation. It wasn't one she was happy to be in, and not one she wanted to be in ever again, but would she? But he was right, if she did it too often, she might either get used to it and do it more often, or she might slowly begin to hate herself and lose the will to live.

When Ryan said 'good girl' at her saying she wasn't proud of what she had done, she just began to cry again. She couldn't help it. She hadn't seen Ryan for a long time, and of course when she did track him down, it was to tell him such sad stuff. It was a wonder he was keeping his cool.

The whole time Rebekah told her story to Ryan, the woman who was standing close by Fate, never said a word to either of them. Probably because she didn't exactly know what to say, and who could blame her really. She was standing by two teenagers, one of whom was blubbing all over the place, and another who was probably to anybody watching being sickenly sweet to the blubbing one.

However when Ryan then said he would find out who had done this to her, and he would make them talk and they wouldn't hurt her again, as she saw the woman begin to back away from them, she wondered why, until Rebekah looked up at Ryan and realised that his ability had come into force. "Ryan, Ryan" she began, through her tears, she really must look a terrible mess, running her hands through her hair as well, she continued holding both his hands and staring into his eyes, "Ryan, it's alright, calm down, you've gone all grr argh" Rebekah said, with a kind voice. She was glad that he was angry for what had happened, but the last thing she wanted was to see Ryan so upset.
