Luke pulled Avalon down the hallway his hand on her arm, he stared around his blue gaze darting from person to person, he sees the agent scattered talking with some of the personal he worked with speaking frankly with them, there vocalized opinion ranged from not well hidden anger to self control distain, Luke gave his head scientist a nod walking by with Avalon the agent glanced at them but went back to asking his head scientst, Avalon felt herself being pushed into Luke office and Luke locked the door behind him relived, he laid his back on the door his hand clenched his tablet, Luke looked up and saw Avalon leaning on his desk stern but worried.
"Luke, why did ya drag me into your office?"
Avalon sees the guilty exasperation on his face how his hand tightens his hold on his tablet, if it could get any she got off the desk walking to Luke, He pushed off the table and held her arm,
"Give me a moment I will tell you everything," Luke told her walking past to his computer, he moved pressing a button, which made a cloak form over the room clear to the naked eye but it's quiet, Avalon watched it appear around them with a faint rush of wind mixed with the sound of the computer running. Avalon nods admiring it,
"Not bad, let me guess a hidden cloak to keep our conversation quiet?"
Luke turned to her placing his tablet on the desk he glanced over it as it lit up with an email, he read it over faintly feeling Avalon next to him, the heat from Sandel still around her, he smiled softly answering,
"Almost got this time, it's a cloak yes but it makes them not able to hear us, got that one however not even their device can get in here,"
Luke stood straight glancing at Avalon he saw her observing the cloak when he noticed her hand shaking,
"I see that the agent struck a nerve. Avalon how bad?"
Avalon didn't want to admit it she felt her hand shaking like he saw when Sandel made her flame appear in her twitching palm, Avalon shook her head,
"Yeah, the head agent they have on use Coulson asked about the warehouse, asking me why im in the middle of it,"
"She's not wrong You've been in the middle of this gang war for a bit not that they wouldn't know that already but she asked more than that hadn't she, the light in the sky is what she asked Damien and me earlier, I thought she would ask you to,"
"She did, I told her a half truth, I was there with Blake at a shoot-out, she tried to push me into telling her more even saying this isn't normal, which it wasn't, it caught me off."
Avalon spoke her hand cradling the flame Luke stared at the two with a faint smile, he reached out touching Sandel slightly but not to get burned,
"I heard she wasn't quiet about it, not to Damien or me, and definitely not you miss popular,"
Avalon chuckled slightly moving back to the desk leaning on it, she looked at Luke seriously all of a sudden, she clenched her hand, Sandel's flame around her like an aura,
"Luke you didn't tell me why ya pulled me all the way here for, trying to distract me will only delay it, but talking with you again has been a highlight today,"
Luke stopped his hand fell to his side, seeing the stark contrast of when she first came here joking but understanding, it made sense she was pulled in her for a reason, Luke sighed taking his tablet off the desk reading over the email, feeling Avalon's silver eyes staring through him, waiting for her answer,
"Avalon, Salvatore wanted me to drag you in here we found Bal in the city preparing to meet Blake,"
Luke witnessed her eyes take a faint shine as he moved, showing her the email she read over, "It happened earlier when Coulson was talking with you, we caught him leaving with these capos with him,"
Avalon leaned closer watching the small attachment, it was Bal from what she saw of him before at the restaurant, both brown and blue eyes shining at his capos talking like they haven't just made a plan to finish their deals, Avalon sighed feeling Sandel appear on her shoulder, the sentient flame curled around Avalon's shoulder that touched Luke's, Luke flinched feeling Sandel crawl on his shoulder taking his shoulder as a perch, Sandel leans moving down Lukes arm, Luke stared at Sandel for a moemnt then Avalon
"Does she do this often?" Luke asked Avalon felt a chuckle within her throat, she nodded
"She does every once in a while only with the people she finds safety in,"
Sandel scanned over Bals form, she's looking for any sign of Formoir lurking, no strings no small spiders on Bals shoulder, none to find, no glowing glints in the
"That's them. I can feel Bal, but Formior isn't there."
"He must be scouting again, finding an opening to claw his way in," Avalon said
"I wouldn't say scouting he doesn't do that for his puppets, he does it for his own amusement, he has already done it here with you,"
Sandel uttered her flame nearing the tablet she saw a light string at the last minute, they witnessed Bal's eyes look at the corner of his shoulder, a big smirk appeared on his face when she caught a shine in his eyes suddenly, the shine from his eyes where so different, it shook Sandel. Her flames flicker she's worried from what Avalon could see,
"Bal has changed, the was Formoir chose Bal, it's odd this... isn't like Lugh or the twins this is Bal but Formoir is his mind."
"There of one mind then?" Luke asked watched the video back and then he stopped it right when the video caught Bals eyes, he analyzed it and saw what Sandel did, that faint string showed on his shoulder Luke leaned closer to the flame on his arm,
"They seem to be one takes over for the other which isn't new but this...I don't see Bal much, I see them one mind they've done what me and Tuatha dread of doing, taking over a soul entirely"
Taken aback Luke moved his hand over Sandel's flames feeling the heat coming from it, Luke confused glanced back at Avalon, he saw her and Sandel looking at each other but her exasperation was what shook him, her eyes slit into a heated glare at the screen. Frightened. But held herself back not showing it all too well,
"They're the same, he took over his soul? Sandel?"
Sandel moved up Luke's arm to his shoulder, her voice a stark contrast to a moment before, Sandel looked to Avalon, "Yes, there's only a little different, Formoir took him over leaving only a little of his soul, however it left little resistance from Bal,"
Sandel curled around Luke's shoulder heading towards Avalon's, she got to Avalon's shoulder her voice a hushed whisper while she cradled the back of her neck,
"It shows they are now, we've only seen a little of Bal now we have to be prepared for what they are Luke tell me where they are,"
Luke was staring at her when she asked and took his tablet, he checked where the video left off in the footage of the cameras where Bal was, there he was a hour ago in his car with his capos beside him his eyes held a faint shine in them, as he looked throught the back window, Sandel watched closely, the window showed a spider web over it when a big black spiber moved behind Bal crawling up his shoulder, when it looked throught the window, at the camra. Their eyes glowing, Sandel flickered and turned to Avalon whispering,
"That was an hour ago they must be almost there, Avalon im not sure we should head there soon, we want them to finish the oath, let them make a deal that will cost them all their souls, "
Avalon peered at Sandel, her gaze with a stiff nod she agreed now they would be almost there, the castle just a big shadow to them with Bal smiling all the way there, Avalon looked at Sandel and Luke their eyes asking for her answer. She moved from bending over the tablet, her eyes narrowed at them for a moment, contemplating the risk of going in without a second thought. But waiting for something like this and knowing where Bal would go. It would be a bit before they found anything else on him. To find his exact location was a task in itself, Avalon oved her glazed over eyes to them,
"We should wait until they leave catch them off guard, if we can that is,"
Avalon stepped back with Sandels growing over her shoulder making Avalon glow, Luke watched them admiring the glow coming from the angel and her host, he then recalled what Avalon emphasized,
"You want to get them when they finish their deal, Avalon you are not in the condition to do that after the twins, your body needs time. You need time."
Luke told her walking to her hand hand reached over touching her arm so slightly, he felt the searing heat coming from the both of them, he brought his hand back whipping it on his shirt to stop the burning tingling of his hands, Avalon's eyes crinkled at the ends as she told him,
"Like I have said time and time again, when did that matter when we have an enemy staring at us, threatening us and killing us, You know I have to be there to stop them because who else can keep them at a stand still, Luke? Why are you typing?"
Luke sent the email as he peered at her he smiled hesitantly, "Just a small warning to our boss before you go off and fight another angel powered gang leader,"
Avalon almost chukled when she heard that, Sandel hummed glancing at Avalon, "He's not wrong Avalon you have a reputation to uphold,"
"I see a reputation"
