Leon was getting extremely impatient as he has been waiting for this one single person. How pissed he was to just wait forever just so he could talk to a person. And all the things that Leon had to do to get here was like Hell. But then again the streets weren't easy to diverse through.

Earlier...

As a file was thrown onto his lap Leon opened one eye. He didn't need to ask questions he was either going to kill someone, recruit them, or capture for interrogation. It has become so easy to figure Pinehearst out. But he didn't feel like going back inside the mirror. How weird that being free still someone had power over him, it didn't matter. Leon got what he wanted they got what they wanted. All win-win.

Leon opened the file to read his target

"Gabriella Weston || Ability: Pyrokinesis || Control Index: 94%"

Rising off the lobby couch Leon shouted, "Control Index 94%! I'm not even that high!" Then looking around he notice a few people looking at him. Giving them a evil look he picked up his jacket then left out the building. "They must really want me dead. Doesn't matter job is a job." Electricity began to spark down his body before he flew into the air. Thanks to Pinehearst he had clothes made of metal fibers allowing him to fly via his ability.

Leon loved this place, but hated some people. They think of him as a child even though he is twenty-four.

Now...

It was easy to get her here to this weird place by calling her to an abandon work site. He stood upside down on a metal beam before discharging the stored electricity at his feet as he fell gracefully to the ground. "So...what took you so long?"

Gabriella had been called to meet someone, and they were probably not going to be very happy with her, as she was going to be late. It wasn't her fault exactly though, Michael had held her back. It was sweet that he cared about her so much, but sometimes even for Gabriella it could be a little overwhelming.

Anyway, after telling Michael for what felt like the hundredth time, she had to leave, he finally let her out of his clutches and she left to make her way to the meeting point. Not that she was particularly bothered about being late, but at the same time she had a feeling she'd get her ass kicked for being late for the meeting even though she had no idea who important it was.

As she approached, she heard the voice speak to her asking what kept her, just like she knew he would.

"Sorry personal complications" she said, not really sorry at all, she loved spending time with Michael. She'd have been quite happy to have spent all her day with him, but she knew she had to come here.

"So what gives? What am I here for?" she asked, wondering why she had been called here.

[elyn]

Smiling to see the real Gabriella rather than the photograph Leon gave her a smile. Only really revealing a few teeth. "Well my deary we,"[/b] he held out his collar to reveal a gold pin attached to it with the Symbol engraved into it. "Pinehearst wants you to join our team. We can make this world of war a better place."[/b] If that wasn't the biggest load of bullshit Leon has ever said out his mouth he didn't know what was.

Either way he said it with the perfect face that was filled with worry and care. When all he wanted was to stay surfaced he has been 'alive' only for three hears now. And Leon loved it too much to go back. So he became the lapdog for Pinehearst it really wasn't that bad. Sure there were sometimes he could have killed his teammates, but he dealt with it.

Looking back at her breaking his own thoughts Leon starts to talk again, "Your power would be much needed in this terrible bloodshed. It could help us end it."[/b] he began to walk closer to her. Even though they had a pyrokinetic person already she was better. And when something better comes along it is added or deleted...

[gabriella]

Pinehearst? Team? She kept repeating the words over and over again in her head. Make the world of war a better place? What was the guy on, was it even possible thing to achieve? She began to wonder.

"And if I join this team, what exactly is in it for me?" she asked coldly, not because she instantly took a dislike to the guy who was speaking to her, but Gabriella liked to be very careful with who she was dealing with. Especially when Michael wasn't around.

"I mean there has to be a valid reason why I would want to join" she added, looking at him from head to toe, taking in his every essence of being.

She scoffed slightly when he said her power could help the bloodshed, all her power had ever done was cause damage and killed people.

"I don't see my power as anything good, so why would it be much needed?" she asked, she had to know. If she was going to join any team, she had to know the full reasons why before commiting herself to anything.

[elyn]

Leon wasn't shocked when she began to ask questions so he had to do research. "Well let me think, you and your boyfriend can be happy. We can pay off all expenses to a wedding. And maybe care for that baby you will have. Ensuring its survival in the world." it helped to have someone who can see into the future. He didn't need to dig up old past, when the future everyone wants to make sure it is safe.

It wasn't soon before Leon started to walk forward, Really? You don't see the great importance of your power? In your age someone shouldn't have that advance of level of power. Not until...well...Hell I don't have all the answers. Anyway," Leon said touching his forehead. "I'm sure you don't see it now, but you should know your powerful and why not help make the world a better place? Most of the new innocence depends on it. I'm sure you don't want your child to be born in an era of war? Would you?"[/b]

At times like these Leon wished he had the power of persuasion it would be so easy. He could have already made her come to their side. But no she was stubborn with the questions. Leon just hoped...a little hope that she didn't want to fight. Then again he was almost dying to fight with someone. Oh how it has been a while.

"Do you still say no?"[/b] titling his head and his eyes filled with guilt and sadness he was trying to play on her sorrowful side. If he could play on her emotions then Leon will be able to get her on the side of Pinehearst. It isn't like he has not done this before.

[gabriella]

Gabriella listened carefully to everything he had to say before she began to reply to anything. She still wasn't sure, unsure about what she was being asked, unsure about him. Unsure about everything it seemed. She was shocked when he began to speak of her personal life. Her eyes narrowed again.

"What do you know about my life? How do you know I was due to get married, baby?" she asked, shaking her head, she was confused, none of it made any sense, how could he possibly have known all this.

"Oh, I know how strong my power is, that's not what I meant" she began defensively, "What I meant was, my power has only ever caused pain and destruction, and I really don't want to cause any more" she replied, but began to think about what he was saying. What if her life was better for joining the team. She and Michael could be happy.

"Of course I wouldn't want the child born into war, if I were to have a child" she said slowly, but hadn't they just spent the last few years in a war, what would be different by joining a team. She just couldn't see that joining a team would help. She just couldn't see it at all.

"I'm not saying no, but I'm not say yes either, I still need to think about this some more, it's a big question, and it's not something you can expect an immediate answer from" she said as she looked at him through narrowed eyes again. She just wasn't sure about it, something wasn't quite right yet she couldn't fathom out what it was.

[elyn]

"And what if I said I needed the answer...today?"[/b] raising his head upward for a more dramatic effect. "I know that it is pressure on you, but I need somewhat of a better answer. Something that might stick to the ribs. Meaning I need something to tell my boss that won't be as disappointing than him waiting until you change your mind." Leon wasn't that much of a sensitive guy.

He really wanted an answer now and then, not later and him waiting. Bad enough he had to wait for her now. And when his temper flared up his powers activated, sparks crackled down his back and swirled around him. Taking a few breaths in and out he calmed his self. He really wanted to hurry up and get inside the cold was affecting him as well.

Really what was it to her? Leon gave her the same line he runs down most people and they join immediately. But this one just had to be different, this one just had to be a pain! Always one. He would need to calm his self down even more with his blood pressure rising. How could he convince her tonight.

Coming back empty handed and with those words might get him killed. She was powerful and would be a lovely addition to the team.

[gabriella]

Gabriella listened to him as he spoke some more. She was getting impatient because he was getting impatient. He obviously needed an answer, and it wasn't one she wanted to give so easily. But by his reply, it was like she was being forced to give an answer.

She would have preferred to talk this over with Michael, she hated bieng pushed for answers. But he was saying she was needed, her power was needed. Really, what harm could it do to make a better future for everybody.

"Alright, I'll join" she said simply and darkly, "But if this turns out to be fake, or something happens to me, I swear I'll kill you all" she said darkly, still with narrowed eyes. She wasn't faking either when she said she'd kill them all, she'd done it before, and she could do it again.

[elyn]

Clasping his hands together in the good news Leon smiled, "You won't have to worry about that. This is a glorious day. soon there will be peace."[/b] He walked over and handed her the Pinehearst business card. "Hope to see you soon."[/b] he replied before running back and using his stored electricity around him to swirl before taking flight. "Come when you want! All I needed was your word!"[/b] he shouted back at Gabriella. He just hoped that it would be enough her word that is for the people back at Pinehearst. If not he is going back into a dark lonely cell how dark and depressing.

So now he flew in the dark night air as he went back to Pinehearst to hopefully give them the good news. If they think of it as good news and if they didn't. Like he said before he would be slightly screwed.

[gabriella]

Gabriella watched as Leon seemed to be very pleased with himself at convincing her to join. So maybe she had made the right decision. How she still had some doubts and kept her eyes narrowed as he came toward her and handed her a card. Looking at the card with the funny symbol on it. "You had better be telling the truth, because if you aren't I can make it all go very wrong for everybody" she replied as she kept flicking the card through her fingers watching him closely.

She watched as he made his exit, and shouted about hoping to see her soon. "I bet you do" she muttered, she figured she had better make her way to this Pinehearst at some point and find out what it was all about. What harm could it really do she thought? She was strong enough, not as if she couldn't take care of herself if need be.

She left, still feeling somewhat mystified, she'd have to make sure she remembered to fill Michael in on it all, she was sure he'd have something to say about it.
