"Hm... sounds good enough to me."
He pondered for a moment and tilted his head.
"What does he have on... Izzy?"

"As I understand it, a literal piece of her soul. She's untouchable. They all are."
The girl shrugged her thin shoulders, grabbing hold of the chains that held the swing aloft.
"Don't know how, or why. But I haven't met a single person that can TOUCH them, or use them. He controls what they can or cannot say, and sometimes, even what they do."

Drake nodded he had gathered that much. That's why his binding soul worked even if only temporarily. Then he looked at the girl.
"I had a feeling. I can see into peoples souls and all his henchmen had things on common a weird marking on their souls. You don't have one though, so how do you know this group?"

She growled again, the sound rumbling through her thin frame.
"The mother fucker that heads up the organization is a power hungry douchebag, that's how. He can't stand to have any other gangs roving around on his territory, so he took mine out. Killed most of us, and crippled all but two of the survivors."

"So, this is quest for vengeance for you? Shit, I can get behind that."
He nodded.

"Damn straight. He fucking slaughtered my family. Worse than that, he had those stupid children TORTURE them, torture ME, before he killed them. Right in fucking front of me."
The more she spoke, the worse the growl became, until her voice was little more than a ragged whisper, and her eyes were burning with hate.

Drakes knuckles went whitebhe was clenching his fists so hard.
"Them lets get to killing, where do we start?"

"That's what I'm assuming you're here for. I'm smart, but I'm street smart, and I've been trying to find a way to rip this mother fucker's head off for a while now. With NO success. I'm either not strong enough, or not smart enough, to figure out a solution by myself."
She snickered, giving a shake of herself, and pushed off hard on the swing.
"I've got my strengths, but they're not strong enough to take down a fucking organized narcissistic sociopath like that alone."

Well, better than nothing he supposed. Good thing he had a little leadership and planning experience from working with Leon's Mafia...
"Alright, then you said your gang was killed or crippled? Do you have or think you can make any more allies? If we're going to take them down then we need to get prepared by having our own force."
He paused for a moment in thought...
"We also need to figure out how to release Izzy from her soul contract. She would be a great help to us, and if we can release her we might be able to release others that don't want to work for him and if willing we can recruit them away from him."

The girl couldn't help but laugh a bit at that, the sound bitter and sarcastic.
"You have NO IDEA how much of a help Izzy would be, if we could just get and keep her on our side. She knows the ins and outs of that gang better than anyone else, and she probably has more strength than the rest of them combined. Legit."
She snickered at that, but there was sadness in those blue, blue eyes of hers.
"I'm not even able to show my face around most of the city, at this point. The rest of my gang that survived left the city. I know basically no one, anymore."

Drake paused for a moment looking at the girl before reaching up to his head. Where he would untie Rai's Mask. He would look at it for a moment fighting off the aching in his heart as he took a breath and handed it to her. "If anyone asks for you name just tell them you're the Voice of the Prince of Blood." He sighed. "Listen... take care of that mask. It belonged... to someone important. But if we are going to be working together then we need to start sharing our trust." |

She reached out to take the mask, and held it delicately in both of her hands, looking down at it. She could feel his hesitation, his uncertainty... and how much this meant to her. For a moment, it managed to break through the rage, the betrayal, the thirst for vengeance... and he would see that topaz in her soul begin to shine a little brighter. She nodded, without looking up at him, and took a deep breath.
"My name is Rebel Zephyr. I am from Territory 194. I have been here since I was seven years old..." She would lift the mask to her face, not tying it on, but holding it so he could see the way her ice blue eyes peered through it.
"And I am an alchemist."

The mask looked good on here, especially when put in the contrast difference of his fathers brilliant red eyes.
"Looks good on you Rebel."
He would nod. He would pull out his phone.
"Lets exchange numbers so we can keep in contact, I'll look for allies on my side as well, I know one or two people who might be able to help."
He would say. Reluctantly thinking of Dime and worse, his Second Cousin Spike. But they were both the only people he knew well enough, and for that matter were stable enough, (Avice flashed in his mind), to handle this kind of a mission.

Rebel nodded and gave him her phone number, taking his as well. She nodded to him, and then stood up from the swing, holding onto the mask still.
"If you need anything, let me know. I don't sleep much. I'll try to make a few allies on my side... and we'll get this bastard."
She held out her free hand for him to shake.
"Go team."

He would accept her handshake and nod.
"Till we cut off the head of the snake."
