Bailey also frowned, stopping beside the pale-haired man. It's an expression she's grown used to over the past few years.
"His name is Virgil."

"And Last I checked you guys needed my help." Marcus retorted with a cocked eyebrow and the ghost of a sneer on his lips. "Not going to lie, Making it kind'a hard to trust when your giving me everything I want one minute, and then beating me into the floor the next." His lip curled into a sneer. "Kind of an abusive start to the relationship dontch'a think?"

"Rather do it without you than let you treat a friend poorly."
There was no hint of amusement in his features or face.

"As Blake said, Virgil is a friend of ours." Bailey nodded, trying to find the words to smooth the situation over.
"What you've asked for, we can provide without any issue. But it's important to learn this now; Virgil and the others matter to us. You will likely see them at points if you live with us back home. So please understand our protectiveness over them."

Well, Maybe he WAS being abit of a shit. Marcus let out a loud sigh. "Alright, alright, I'm sorry. I suppose I DO need to EARN the right to tease and/or gently rib." It didn't help that the man had used humor as a defense mechanism ever since he was eleven years old.
"Virgil." He began with a nod to the Strangely well informed man. "Could you tell me who these 'Special Forces' people are? Please."

Virgil looked over Marcus with a considering look before nodding slowly.
"Apology accepted. The special forces guarding the museum are Cabal Loyalists. They are not enemies of ours, so I would caution against attacking them or trying to take it by force. The special forces themselves are made up of a mix of veterans from the old war. Former members of the Guardians, the Dragons, and the Crows. Along with some of their own trainees."

Bailey gave a single nod as Virgil chose to answer, an indication clear as day where he stood on teh matter.
"If you choose to go, as a member of Aurora, you would have the benefit of being an ally. Though it would be a rough journey to get there."

Marcus tilted his head quizzically. The Way Virgil used the word Cabal made it pretty clear it was with a capital C, meaning a group or organization. Hearing about how the Special Forces guys and gals were all ex members of the Various factions from his time hit him like a physical brick to the head. Maybe there was a chance any of his friends were still alive? The thought made his heart ache and Marcus had to swallow it back down his throat.
"Thank you Virgil." He said after a moment of thoughtful silence, pinching the bridge of his nose as all manner of scenarios began to play in his head all at once. Would they even recognize him? Marcus was almost as afraid of the possibility that they would just as much as if they wouldn't.
What if they thought he had abandoned him? It wouldn't be the first time. He mentally grimaced as a memory surfaced. Standing in a broken part of the city, surrounded by an enigmatic group called the Rogues. He remembered how, in a fit of jealousy and rage, He turned his back on his friend and superior Delilah Black. Still, if even one of his Wolves managed to survive the attack that rendered him helpless, then then there was a chance that the others knew the truth.
It almost made him wonder how long they spent looking for him, if at all.
"Appreciated your Highness." Marcus responded to Bailey with a smile. Even though he certainly enjoyed Playing the Part of the Lone Wolf, he understood the absolute truth that being Part of as pack was the best way to ensure ones survival. "Fortunately I'm no stranger to rough journeys." It was about then that Marcus noticed his foot was still glowing. "First things first though I get a more permanent solution to THIS little problem. I'm guessing I'd be safe to assume that the effects of your Qi has a limit yeah?"

Virgil nodded with a thoughtful look on his face before putting a hand on Marcus' shoulder.
"It's not as bad as you might think." How people remembered him was more of a mixed bag, but it was far from the worst case scenario.
Blake nodded at Marcus' question about Bailey's healing abilities. It was a temporary fix, nothing more.

Bailey returned the smile with one of her own and a small nod. It was hard to miss the heavy mood in the air, and who could blame him? Marcus had just woken up to find out the world had ended, changed, and moved on while he'd been locked away.
"You might be surprised what you find out. Until then, a permanent fix to your injury is first on the list. My qi can do in a pinch, but it's only until it can be looked at properly." And would glow the whole way.

Marcus couldn't help but let out a good natured laugh at Bailey's remark. "Between the demons, Giant fuck-off chains wrapped around the earth, The return of a monarchy on US soil, AND the fact that I've been on Ice for years, Yeah, you guys got a point. I got NO frame of reference for what to expect next. I mean BATTLE PANTHERS! FUCKING. BATTLE. PANTHERS." It was just so comic book and the young man was kind of loving it.
"So, you walked...." Marcus began, referring to Blake before turning to Bailey. "You rode." Lastly he gestured at Virgil with a tilt of his head. "And I assume you just came along with either one of them." His eyes went to each of them in turn before continuing. "So it begs the question, how far is Aurora from here? I only ask cause I feel like We're kinda running the clock at the moment and like I said...." Marcus stopped to gesture at the cold sterile environment they were currently slogging through. ".....This whole Crypt atmosphere just AIN'T doing it for me ya know? I always hated Labs. And hospitals. And Tabasco sauce but that's besides the point." Growing up on homemade Currey, Marcus grew to snub what his considered 'Lesser hot sauces'.
And it was on the thought of Currey that a loud grumbling sound could be heard echoing through the chamber. It would be pretty obvious that it originated from Marcus' Taut Belly. Loud enough to leave the man positively sheepish. "Plus....I cannot imagine a better time to play tourist in your fine city. Maybe sample the cuisine. Like all of it?"

"A couple of miles. Not far, our lands are full of underground labs and bunkers from the old war."
Blake said as he'd lead the way up out of the underground facility to the world outside. The outside world would be bright, sunny. A horse was out there for Virgil though Blake still preferred to walk. In the distance the walls and gates of Aurora could be seen, a glimmering wall made completely out of Qi crystals. The towers of the fortresses and the castle poking out from behind the glistening walls.
Blake would just point at it.

Bailey smiled in amusement as Marcus listed off several things that seemed like fiction, - including, yes, battle panthers. She chuckled softly, stepping to the side as they exited the lab to let him get a good look at what awaited them. Even now, the sight of home filled her with a warmth and peace that little else could. It was a beacon and a fortress in this madness. "Completely understandable." At the sound of her voice, a flash of color could be seen in part of the foliage before a large panther stepped into the clearing. It stopped at the sight of Marcus, not looking at anything else. "You'll want to bow to it," she murmured. "Trust me. We can catch you up on qi beasts later." ________________ Ability #3: Weaving a web of energy, Bailey is able to temporarily hold broken bones or minor wounds together. Qi Uses 10/25

Marcus shielded his eyes from the sunlight as he emerged from the entrance to the lab. He wasn't quite sure what to expect from the surface, certainly not a bright sunny day with a nice cool breeze, surrounded by ACTUAL nature. The world was so desolate back in his time that he was nearly moved to tears as he stood there taking it all in. He could feel his pulse quicken the moment he caught sight of Aurora in the distance. He took a few steps towards the gleaming city, scarcely able to believe his eyes as he marveled at the high walls and the General High Magic Fantasy Feeling. They even had an Energy Shield!
Marcus could see what the Monarchs meant before. "Safe." He said more to himself than anything else, eyes wide and filled with wonder. "Well, fuck me ridged....."
However, his unguarded boyish sense of wonder would immediately drop, and in it's place cold hardened instinct would take over as he immediately crouched into a guarded stance. Hand reaching for a Knife that was no longer there, Marcus' eyes sharpened as a shape emerged from the underbrush. Having lived his entire life in constant danger, from growing up in an ultra-violent school system to traveling abroad all the way to surviving Barkers devastation, the Mans instincts were honed to a knife-like edge. Almost immediately Marcus would switch from a guarded half crouch, dropping his knee to the ground into a kneel. He KNEW what a Panther looked like. But he never saw one like this!
"Well....Aren't you gorgeous." He cooed, acknowledging Baileys advice with a nod of his head without taking his eyes off the Panther with the fantastical markings. Still kneeling, he would slowly bow his head, which was currently abuzz with the implications of Qi Beasts. He found himself smiling as Baily informed him that they would catch him up on Qi Beasts. Oh he absolutely was going to hold her to that.

Blake would simply wait for the greeting to move along.
