Saving the Kids
Irina had to concentrate on the image that Lyta had sent to her, but after a few moments she had been able to open a portal to a spot just inside the main building. Her knives had been out and ready when she stepped through. They went flying through the air heading toward the two guards that had been standing near the door. The knives hit them in the chest and they fell to the ground. Stepping through portals and into trouble was quite common for her.

"Let's go," she called back to the others.

	He doesn't speak Russian. He doesn't need to. He can see Irina's expression. "Do you still protect him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina looked back at her father. Could she let the Rider do his thing? Could she sentence her father to that kind of torment? While he did deserve it, he was still her father. He was still blood. She closed her eyes. "No." There were many things she could forgive, but she could not forgive using children. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Skeletal fingers close around Alexei's throat. "You deserve to know the truth. Do you wish to know your father? It is you choice... look away, or look into his eyes, and see all he has wrought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina swallowed past the lump in her throat and nodded. She looked her father in the eye. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

His head snaps about, meeting Alexei's gaze. Nick's eyes light even as his pentagrams blaze, burning the star mark into Alexei's throat.

In the Russian's eyes, his sins, a lifetime of darkness plays by like a horror film, one scene after another. The Red Room, Weapon X, the KGB, The Widow, and both father and daughter have a front row seat.

"Alexei Shostakov... sometimes... just sometimes... orphans find their purpose on their own. Your sins have found you guilty, and I sentance you to hell on Earth for all your days."

	An inhuman scream came from Alexi as the Rider's abilities worked on him. After what seemed an eternity the scream stopped and the man crumpled to the floor in a heap. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina couldn't take anymore. She ran from the room and leaned against the wall in the hallway. Tears spilled from her eyes and she buried her face in her hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

This is what it is to be the Rider. To see, and live with the darkest things humanity has in their souls. To not only encounter it, but to seek it out, live in it, bury himself in it.
And when the guilty are punished, there's nothing left in him for the innocent.

When he leaves the room, Alexei is in a heap, weighed down by his own sins for the rest of his days. Likewise, now, Alexei's sins are one more weight on the Rider, and one more soul with no more chances.

He passes by Irina without a word. The others will have to see to her, offer sympathy or condolence, the same way they'll need to see to the children. Right now, all Nick wants is a smoke and to get very, very drunk.
