Hello My Lover (Lian)
Morgaine, to put it simply, was going to kill him. So would James.

His only advantage would be that his doppelganger would quite likely die first, when they realized that Damien had slipped away from them at some point.

For the first time in his life, Damien Wilson flew on a /commercial/ plane in /coach/. His mother would have a fit over that alone, but this mission was of the utmost importance. He did rented a car under an assumed name at Star City International airport and then drove through the streets to his destination. Damn, he hated American traffic laws. Passing by Outsiders HQ was surreal, knowing that any of them could be on the streets at any time. If they found him, they would probably see fit to kill him for the wounds he'd inflicted months ago.

In a way, today's trip is an attempt to begin the healing of those wounds.

He parks the car six blocks from the apartment address James gave him and uses the time to meditate and center himself. He's going to need to be fast at this to keep from being seen. He must be ready for any opposition between himself and his target.

And he must be ready for his wife's anger, and even her hate.

When night fell, Damien made his way across the rooftops to Lian's apartment building and scouted the area. The lights were off. He couldn't be certain if she was home or not, so he had to risk it.

Minutes later, after successfully getting a window open, Damien sneaks into Lian's home, much the same as she did to his months ago when this entire thing began. Now they were even.
He waits inside for her to return, hoping that she is still well.

Talia tsk-tsked her son.

"And this is exactly what your grandfather was talking about, my son. You let your feelings for that disgusting girl get in the way of what is truly important, Damien."

Talia took a step towards Damien.

"You have been using your heart too much when it comes to her, my son. Your heart is a weakness that you cannot afford."

Damien tried to stand and fell, his ankle giving way beneath him. Still, he kept moving, towards the doors to the apartment building, because he had to get to Lian.

"My heart kept /you/ alive far longer than was probably necessariy, Mother. My /heart/ allowed me to drive my sword through Ra's and set you and Morgaine free from his tyranny.

(RAGE)

My heart led me to the only woman I will ever love a woman who will give me children who will carry on my work. Or fight against me. Whatever they will be, my HEART will not allow me to harm them any more than it allowed me to murder my sister, or even Henry and Nyssa." he says.

(LOVE)
(HOPE)

"But my heart is cold, too, mother. I had my wife's best friend murdered because I could. I sacrificed a seventeen year old boy at the alter of my genius to power a machine that killed fifteen million people...and I slept like a baby afterward.

And now, my heart isn't a weakness than I can afford. You're right. I have been accused of being willing to murder my own mother to save myself. Before tonight, I would have killed any man who dared make that statement. It takes a heartless bastard to murder his own mother, after all." Damien says, steadying his breathing.

And when he does, he draws all of his pain, his anger and his love into himself and /locks it down/.

And the Demon's Head vanishes from Talia's "sight" as he freezes his heart. Meanwhile, his hand has been dropping toward his waist and behind his back while he speaks.

He draws his Glock in one motion and empties the clip into his mother's face.

Talia lost sight of her son, and the bullets rained into her face.

"Where are you, Damien?" She asked as her face began to heal. "It's not very good to hide from your mother, you know."

Damien can't believe his eyes, but he doesn't time to figure out what is going on. He has to get upstairs to Lian /now./

So, he turns and limps his way back into the building, doing his best not to cry out or be afraid. Both his mother and grandfather were here...but Morgaine is not.

He has to contact his sister and tell her what is going on immediately.

As her son had shut off emotion from her, Talia was not able to get a lock on him.

However...that girl's emotions were lighting up like a Christmas tree.

She flew in the direction of the apartment.

Damien hobbled inside as quickly as he could, though, he stops on the way to load his weapon...and pull a fire alarm, the better to get everyone out of the building.

Later, he will question /why/ he gave a damn about getting everyone out of the building, rather than using them to pad his and Lian's escape.

All in all, he will chalk it up to wanting to please his wife and not any sort of altruism on his part.
