Breaking and entering
It had taken Lian a few days to get there, but she'd made it to the League of Assassins headquarters. Several flights later, after staying in a cheap hotel, she'd made the trek through the Arabian desert, traveling light, taking only her bow and knives, but carrying just enough food and water to where she wouldn't starve to death or die of thirst.

That and the headquarters for the League of Assassins, wasn't exactly the easy place to find. You had to know where to look.

Luckily, there's a perk in having a parent for a member.

Lian made her way to the entrance, making sure to stay hidden.

	Goddamn, that smelled good. Lian could feel her mouth start to water. "Don't mind if I do," she said, taking a bite. She chewed slowly, savoring every little morsel. "That is more than delicious. I believe this falls under being heavenly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Damien laughs. "No one has ever used that word in my presence, due to the obvious connotations." He moves a little closer and moves to get a bit of the pie onto his fork. He takes a bite, his eyes closing in enjoyment. "I love rum." he says, taking another bite onto his fork. This time, he offers it to Lian. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I could've said that it was hellish, but that doesn't seem like the right word. I'll try to use it sparingly." "It certainly compliments it nicely," Lian saide, taking the bite offered to her. She closed her eyes, enjoying every little bite. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, no. Please continue to. I find it amusing." Damien says, watching as Lian enjoys the pie. The scent of her is intoxicating and he finds himself drawn closer to her. "I am glad you came tonight. I have not enjoyed dinner this much in quite some time." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I provide you such amusement, then maybe I just will," Lian said. Her face wasn't that far from his when she turned to grin at him. "I am glad that you finding my company enjoyable. Likewise, I am enjoying myself very much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Damien's eyes avert only for a moment to look at her lips, which seem inviting. He can smell the rum and wine on her breath, and wonders a moment how they taste. "When you come by in the morning, there will be bacon and Vermont Maple Syrup." he whispers, leaning a little closer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That sounds like a very tempting offer..." Lian said, her head spinning. No. You can't kiss him. That would be stupid. You're here for a reason, and you can't let the fact that he is insanely sexy get to you. Just focus on how badly J'anna's going to kick your ass when you get back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I will know her game soon enough...even if I must kiss the secrets directly from her mouth.

He knows he is not drunk, so Damien Wilson believes he has this situation in complete control. He tells himself that he is directing every action that occurs here now, and that Lian Harper is falling into his thrall with every passing moment.

Of course, he also tells himself that she is just one of a number of women he has had in this position before, one of many that will become smitten with him before he rejects them to move on.

The thought of doing that, however, does not appeal to him as it normally does.

This would be an opportune time for my sister to decide she must interrupt me...

Damnit, I did not come this far just to swoon over some son of Deathstroke that probably knows a million different ways to kill me using a fork.

No. She couldn't pay attention to the lips so close to hers. She couldn't allow herself to be drawn in my the scent of the wine, the pie, and the pasta.

He was the leader of the freaking League of Assassins. That had to be a big of a turn-off enough.

He get just about any woman he wants. The dinner, the dancing, he's probably done this so many times, he's expecting you to throw yourself at him right now.

"I should get to bed," she said, inching a little farther away from him, "I've had a long past couple of days, and I could use any rest that I can get."

He is almost shocked speechless as she pulls back. He's been in this position many times in the past, and things have never failed to go at the speed he desired. Now, Lian Harper is pulling back, regaining her composure.

Now he only wants her more.

"Yes...yes you should get to bed. You need sleep and...I expect to go over your plans for improving security tomorrow. You measures will be tested for effectiveness..." Damien murmurs, trying to clear his head.

"I will walk you back to your room." he says.

	That wasn't so bad. She just needed to block out the fact that he made her head spin. That she was here for a purpose, and that purpose wasn't allowing herself to be foolish enough to be seduced by the Demon's Head. "I can see myself back," she said, standing up. "Though I appreciate the offer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He stands up as well, wondering what he did wrong. Can he fix it? Then he catches himself and realizes he's being a fool. He isn't dating her. He's only trying to trick her into giving herself away. "Very well." he says evenly, the mask of the Demon's Head slipping into place over his emotions. "Rest well, Lian. You have much to do tomorrow." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thank you," Lian said, as she made her way to the door, "For dinner. It was lovely."

"I will see you in the morning," she said before leaving.

Damnit that was a close one.

She couldn't let something like that happen again. She'd come this close to letting her guard down and giving herself away, and she couldn't afford to do that after she'd already come so far.

She'd saved herself this time, but he'd felt it. She was close to giving herself away. He was slightly annoyed that he'd be spending the night alone. Sleep would not come easily this night so he would work it off with somethig else he enjoyed.

He turns to one of his servants.

"Find my sister and have her join me here immediately." Damien commands. He needs Morgaine's counsel now.

	Minutes later, Morgaine was in her brother's presence. "You wished to see me, brother?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-03 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, sister. Have you eaten yet? Will you sit? I need your counsel." Damien says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonchild 2010-09-04 02:16 am UTC (link)
	"I have already eaten," Morgaine said, taking a seat, "Though I don't see why you need my counsel. You've never had any problems in the past charming a woman into your bed." A smirk. "That is what this about, right? I saw you're new head of security heading back toward her room. I thought I wouldn't be seeing her emerge from your rooms until at least the morning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-04 02:44 am UTC (link)
	"You are teasing me." Damien says, amused at the idea. His sister is not known for her sense of humor, but it's a nice change of pace. "She resisted me tonight, Morgaine. Few women have ever done that. However, the matter before us whether or not Miss Harper can be trusted. What is your sense of her from what you've seen thus far?" he asks.

"I'm amused. You could fill a book with your conquests."

"I do not trust her. She's playing a game and if we do not find it out soon, it will not be good for us or the League." Morgaine paused, "Of course, seducing her may not be the best way to do it, brother. I suggest that we expose her to various forms of torture, and then slit her throat. Or we could just slit her throat and dispose of her anyway."

"There is something to be said for catching more flies with honey than vinegar, Morgaine. Killing her would be easy, yes, likely even safer...but not until we know what she's after and what manner of allies or resources she can call upon." Damien says, running over thoughts in his head.

"I would not put it past Bruce Wayne to finally decide he wants to put us out of business, the old coot. Sending a skilled, beautiful woman to gauge our readiness was a good idea, if it was his." Damien says.

"Also, find Cheshire and have her meet us in Brazil. Find a politician in Buenos Aries and have Cheshire kill him. I want to surprise Lian with her mother's appearance and see what they do. She says she's not close with her, but if she thinks she can somehow 'save' her from the League, she will find herself learning otherwise.

It will also be a proper test of Cheshire's own loyalty." Damien says.

	"Finding Cheshire is not an easy task. She's not an easy woman to find, especially when she doesn't want to be found. Which she hasn't since the incident in Star City. Though watching them both under pressure could be interesting to watch..." Morgaine grinned. Yes, she isn't too crazy about Cheshire, either. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"All of our resources are at your disposal, sister. Make it happen, but keep it quiet. I do know want Lian or Cheshire to know what is coming." Damien says.

"In the meantime, my plan is coming together and the machine will be ready within the next few months for testing." he says, going to his desk. He returns with an onyx stone set into a silver ring and hands it to her.

"You will need this when the machine is tested. In the meantime, I would like to you return to Gotham City. There is a scientist there who will be integral to our work, but he works for Wayne Enterprises. You will bring him to our forward base in Qatar.

We will procure his services for the duration of our project." Damien says.

	Morgaine nodded. "I shall. And rest assured, I will keep it a secret. Though you might want to keep her busy in the meantime. She is sharp, this one." Morgaine nodded, taking the ring from him. "I shall. Perhaps I'll have a little fun while I'm there. I've heard rumors of a new Batman. Maybe I'll test his worth...after my work is done, of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Very well, Morgaine. I've had desire to see this new Batman in action myself, as Wayne was supposedly one of Grandfather's and my father's greatest enemies.

I also heard a story that Robert's father saved Batman from yours." Damien says idly. Morgaine has seemed...not so much happier as relaxed from her killing of Robert. Damien understood the need for revenge, even if it was his step-brother of sorts it was taken on.

"Do your work well and you may kill him when you're done." Damien says.
