No Return
Kassia waited until Marrina was asleep. The girls had decided to wait until morning to return to Canada, which was plenty of time for Kassia to decide that letting her father handle things wasn't something that she could do. The longer she sat with her thoughts the more she grew angry and wanted the darkest justice of all: revenge.

She had so many names and contacts thanks to where she had grown up and the people she had met. None of them seemed particularly trustworthy now, save for one.

Julian Howard.

<i>It's Kassia Frost, can you meet me somewhere tonight?</i>

The call was made quietly from the bathroom and if he agreed, she'd ask him to meet her at a coffee shop a few blocks from her hotel.

"You certainly do take after your mother." Julian says simply.

"What is your plan, and what do you require? I don't need for you to fail and reveal under duress that you paid me a visit to get the aid you seek. I'll evaluate your plan and let you know if I'm interested.

And before you go running to anyone else, which I don't believe you have anyone to run to, let me remind you: whatever I ask of you will be a discount compared to what another would want. And they'll want whatever you can provide up front, rather than later." Julian says.

"Oh, and they'll likely sell you out anyway. You're not the first person to want Sebastian Shaw dead, but you're certainly the youngest. People twice your age haven't been able to take him down. What makes you think you'll succeed where better have failed?"

	"I'm the least likely suspect. Sweet, cheerful, dutiful Gracie. Did you expect me to come here and want the pervert dead? Unlikely." She shrugged. "Poison. It's the last thing he'd expect and there is a specific poison that won't harm me but will do some significant damage to him. Or any other human being for that matter."

He has to concede the point. Until a moment ago, Julian would have considered Kassia the one Frost woman that wasn't capable of violence or deceit. Mother warned him about underestimating people in the Hellfire Club, let alone their children.

Sebastian Shaw was going to pay for doing so himself.

"Give me the name and I'll see what I can come up with. Do you plan to go after him alone or should I send you some help? If he even suspects what you're planning, he'll kill you and your mother will never be able to prove he did it." Julian says.

	"Sea viper. I need enough sea viper poison to have a lethal lipstick made from it. I can wear it and it won't bother me--I'm half-Atlantean. But it will be brutal to him and I plan on using his...tastes against him." She considers what he says, about backup. He...had a point. "Could you back me up? I'd like to keep this as small as possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Sea viper venom?" Julian asks, raising a brow. That's probably the most random request he's ever heard. He immediately goes over who he can ask for something like this and the pros and cons.

Viper would be best, but he doesn't want to owe her, or worse, allow her to have something to blackmail him later.

He could try his contact who will eliminate Kine, but there's the same issue involved as with Viper. Julian is about to tell her that she'll need another plan when the perfect person to enlist comes to mind. He mentally kicks himself for not thinking of him sooner.

"You'll have what you need. How soon do you plan to move? That will determine if I'll take an active hand in what's going on here. Otherwise, I'll make sure you have the best back-up available." Julian says.

	"Soon, but I want it to work into your schedule. I don't trust anyone else, Julian. If I did, I wouldn't be here. I know you and have for years. You I trust. Just get me what I need and we'll go from there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Very well. I'll have what you need in three days' time; be ready to move within two weeks, maybe sooner. I'm working on this from multiple fronts, but I'm coordinating it so that everything will come together in one move. Any less and Shaw, or his lackeys, will wipe us out the first chance they get." Julian says.

He finds it interesting that she trusts him of all people. Part of him considers going to Emma with this information, as she is his partner in this. He decides against it, though. Emma is useful in one way; perhaps her daughter will be useful in others.

"You mentioned being half-Atlantean. What do you know of King Namor and his daughter, the Princess?" Julian asks.

	"King Namor is my father. And the Princess, my sister, is a lovely girl who is very much not suited for politics, power plays, and games of thrones." Her brow arches a little. "What is your cost, Julian? For what I have asked." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh, Emma. You certainly omitted this from our meetings. Julian says. He finds himself grateful for his own telepathy shielding his thoughts from Kassia's possible ability to read them. She is a Frost, after all.

"You have the ear of King Namor and the princess? Interesting. I'll keep that in mind for future reference." Julian says.

The car pulls up to her hotel and the driver comes around to open the door.

"You are right, Kassia. My aid is going to cost you. However, I haven't finished tallying up your bill. When I have, I'll be in touch." Julian says.

	"Very well. You have my number." She exited the car and went back to her room, content that things would be taken care of. (Reply to this)(Parent)
