Lucian Albrechtsen & Kemi Marks
Masses of soot and dust hung in the air, Lucian wiped some from his eyes and face, a bit annoyed as he stared at the "Miss Figurehead" that just showed up. She looks a bit familiar, but he wasn't in the mood for recalling Arcadia catalogs. The ebony woman that was with him fidgeted a bit in her place, and pulled out a taser gun. She then put the weapon away as quickly as she pulled it out. The entire sequence of actions felt incredibly strange to Lucian, but he couldn't pinpoint what, the light burns on his skin still stung and burnt ashes still clouded his vision. More importantly, the fact that Arcadia has caught up to him was the most unsettling fact. He was alone, with no chance of being able to fight back, and God knows what Arcadia would do to him.
"Give me that guy back; he can help me get close enough to see her so I can hit her." The woman's voice snapped the despair that crawled slowly up Lucian's back, she saw him being cuffed by an Arcadia figurehead, yet she didn't assume that he was a threat. Whoever this woman's alliance was with, it wasn't with Arcadia. That was the one solace in this situation. Slowly, Lucian walked up a bit, still trying to get soot out of his eyes, and purposely grazed the woman's shoulder with the absorber cuffs on him. As he passed he made it clear to look at her in the eyes, then at the absorbers on his wrists.
Kemi; however, had been focused on the Arcadian woman who was clearly not interested in her plan to tranquilize the young girl. She was paying little attention to the guy until he made his move to make contact again. In a situation like this, there was no way that was an accident. And no matter who this guy was, she trusted Arcadia even less. She had been paying attention though to what the Arcadian figurehead was saying, noting how she made a point to call the guy they were with 'Null'. It only verified her previous theory. This guy could nullify powers. He had shielded her from the heat with that ability, but it had also been the reason she wasn't able to access her pocket until he was handcuffed. She noticed him even more now though. His ability made her both curious and nervous; hopeful yet frustrated. That was probably a curse he felt more often than not around other people. Kemi made sure to lock eyes for just a moment, sliding a hand back behind her back and absently scratching at the tenderly burned skin beneath her shirt. It hurt.
Of course, Miss Figurehead from Arcadia didn't listen to the nice lady. Her voice dripped with that signature Arcadian hypocrisy. Yeah right. I would be alive if you didn't cuff my damn power. A sentiment Kemi shared at the thought of someone saving this dude who could clearly not be hurt by a power he could make disappear – if only he had his own power. But what really ripped at Lucian's conscious was what the figurehead referred to him as. Null. It's been years since anyone has called him that, that name was canned along with his memories of that time. Those weren't happy memories.
"Can you shut up?" His voice shook a bit with bitterness as he spoke to the dark clad figurehead, it was uncontrollable. "Arcadia was years ago for me, so is that dumbass codename."
Touchy… The Peacekeeper couldn't judge. Just remembering the stories told about Arcadia made her brain start prepping for a potential mental breakdown. Despite the wheels turning to ready her for foreshadowed PTSD, her brain was not prepared to see a fucking dragon… dude… walk on up as if he owned the place. Kemi gave Null a look that clearly said 'what the fuck am I looking at?' before returning her sights to the… big lizard. Announcing himself as another Arcadia figurehead made her so tense that the muscles in her legs were starting to get sore from being poised to run. Much too tense to answer his question about who she was, though she wouldn't have done so either way. These people were all too sketchy to be giving out names. And a powered individual could never be certain they were safe from Arcadia no matter how lame their power.
"Isn't it too early to dress up your pets for Halloween?" Lucian snarked at the newly arrived machina. "Right, Miss Hot Topic?" His voice retained the bitterness, but he had calmed down a bit. Currently anything he says or does can be used against him at any time in the future, he had to choose his next steps wisely.
Oh shit… Did he just…? Hell yeah, he did. Kemi had to admit that she kind of liked this Null guy, whoever he was. That kind of zinger made her want to point and laugh in the reptilian's face, but she did her best to stay in control of her facial expression. But one look at her would show her holding back laughter by tightly sealing her lips. The Halloween puppy's questions yielded no answers, which was a relief for Lucian. The hesitation to answer just further solidifies the fact that this woman was not a fan of Arcadia. Perhaps they could be allies, at least for this night. But not long after the techno-doggo's appearance, a techno-biker showed up at the scene. Lucian watched the newcomer carefully, was this the "reinforcement" that Miss Figurehead was talking about?
Luckily that didn't seem to be the case, as the man, if you could call a robotics humanoid a man, that stepped out of the bike had only questions without responses. It most likely wasn't Arcadia reinforcement, regardless of which party the mysterious newcomer represented, he escalated the chaos of the situation. Maybe with all these people, and this confusion, Kemi could make her own getaway as well. Her decision to aid the cuffed pretty boy was already made, but the question was really how she could do that. Now that he had on the absorber cuffs she could use her pocket. Maybe she should just shoot everyone and bounce on out? But if they were dealing with Arcadia, that answer would probably become more of a problem later on. The well of ideas in her head was running dry until robot cop showed up on the scene like some futuristic terminator. The problem was that she actually recognized this… manbot. 'He' was a transfer to the Peacekeepers in this district and well… not many people could forget an android-looking dude like that too fast. Somehow he was highly ranked, but just the sight of him annoyed her. His appearance could be a blessing for Kemi and Null, or it could be a problem above all problems. After all… A Peacekeeper couldn't really be spotted helping a supposed criminal escape. The pale guy was all handcuffed and everything after all. The situation looked bad.
"Uh yeah." Make first contact to direct the situation. Lucian answered the newcomer's question, his voice lost the hostility, but still had a hint of sarcasm. "There was this huge fire." The word "huge" was dragged on a bit as he leaned back a bit with his hands cushioning the back of his head. "But luckily this nice lady and her cool police dog helped out, they know more than I do." He continued while walking up a few steps to the robo-dog, half leaning on its metallic body, and then quickly fell silent as to give the Arcadia agents a chance to speak. How nice of me.
But the conversation wasn't as simple as it seemed, as Lucian had his back to the ebony woman while he walked up to the robot dog Drake. As he spoke he waved behind his back at the woman, then pointed upwards towards the building tops that looked around them, and finally down towards the cuffs on his wrists. Meanwhile, the Peacekeeper's eyes skimmed around the group for a moment, taking in as much information about them as she could. It would, hopefully, be easy to just walk out of this situation if she pretended to be dumb and fed up. So the woman rolled her eyes at robocop and did a few sidesteps away, waving the people there off as she had the blonde firestarter earlier - before the boom.
"Alright, I'm bored and I don't wanna play anymore. I'm going to bed. Actually, I'm gonna put on some aloe vera and then go to bed."
With another wave, the woman turned on her heel and took her leave. Now that it wasn't burning hot any more, she could easily retreat back in any direction she wanted without burning to death - which was a plus on any given day. If she could leave, it would be her best option at this point.
