And Here I am.... Back in the Americas.... and not for committing a crime, well... not for getting caught for doing a crime. Alexis got better at what she used to do.
Alexis was strewn on the floor with her legs crossed and her foot tapped to the beat of the loud she was playing. Many men..very attractive, hot and sweaty men... were moving her stuff in the apartment.
She heard someone jab at their ceiling, which was Alexis floor, with a broom. With one fist, she slammed on the floor. The neighbor was being too noisy and Alexis was trying to listen to her music.
A new man was apart of the possy surrounding her, though this guy wasn't hot, sweaty, or doing any work. He was old and in a tacky uniform. Cocking her eyebrow, Lexie turned down the music with her remote and stared at the man. The idiot stared back and did not talk to her in any greeting.
"I would like to know who you are."
"Alexis Green?" the old man spoke...completely ignoring her demand.
"Nope." he nodded and took off his cap.
"Lord Seran would like you to come with me." and obviously some news of her lying habits was shared with the driver... well, guess he would have to know she lied if he wanted to do his job and bring her to where ever she was supposed to go. She rolled her eyes and stood up.
The guys kept working and they had a key and knew where to hide it; so, she didn't fret over it. She got in the limo and they drove for quite some time. The AC wasn't on... it wouldn't surprise Alexis much if the driver was cold blooded... he was so wrinkly it looked like scales. Though the whole point of the complaints about no AC meant that Alexis was dying of heat. She was wearing shorts and a tank top, yet this oldie managed to keep her sweating.
"Turn up the AC and tell me where we are going, yeah wanka!" the old man went on ignoring her, now he was rude now wasn't he?
Finally they pulled up and there was basically an epically big mansion. Gabriel was living here and she was living in an apartment.... maybe they can tradsies!?
"Seran Estate, Miss Green." now miss Green irked her. It only reminded her of Li and how he proposed. She was a major fuck up now wasn't she?
"Thank you for the lift." no smart ass comment? Odd...
Alexis entered the home without knocking, though she pulled out her Black Berry Tour and gave Gabriel a ring.
If he picked up..
"I'm in the foyer of your home and its so big I'm already lost." it was a joke of course, but she still needed to know where he was located.

**Earlier that day** The large estate Gabriel had inhabited for a good two years of his life had only grown to flousirsh since his return to Long Beach, though he'd had many like it across the country this was aboe all one of his favorite branches. The gardens in the back expanded till the cliff hanger overlooking a beautiful cerulean bay. Marblestone pillars and sculptures from all over Europe where brought here in an attempt to model after the original Nobleman's Estate. Though they fell short of it's glory and too mcuh of the memories left him with aweful nightmares. Gabriel stared blankly at the phone having not heard a word of Alexis' arrival to the states forcing him to fret. He dialed a number asking for service from the airliner only to recieve the response that she'd landed only four hours prior irking Gabriel a bit more. Though he'd grown to accept that from that woma at least unpredictable and wiley as she was in a situation theres no one else he'd trust. He pulled out another phone contacting Phillipe, Gabriel's personnal assistant. Muttering something rapidly in French summoning the man to tell him where Alexis had fled to. twenty minutes later he'd recieved a comfirmation. Another phone call this time to the driver. "Marcus, you're looking for a young woman who could look to be my sister, yes she is a horrible liar and will most likely be scowling at you or some profanity...Yes thank you." Gabriel nodded as he'd walk away into his bedroom assorting the wardrobe he was to appear in. ***Marcus*** "I would like to know who you are.""Alexis Green?" Marcus spoke through a patey exhausted expression not prepared to take anyone's shit. Not in the least from a little lying girl, he hadn't even expected Lord Seran to send him on this mission. Top Priority he says. Phooie. "Nope." he nodded and took off his cap. "Lord Seran would like you to come with me." This time around his voice impatient and his figure very testy. He moved out the door and to the Limo with the common curtousy of opening the lady's door and offering her the chanpagne before he clearly ignored her moving to the front and starting up the car. His tight fitting suit left no air to breath but after fourty years of service to the Seran's he had grown accustomend to their nature. Finess and perfection at every turn made for true power. That and he enjoyed watching the bitch in his backseat squirm with the added pressure. "Turn up the AC and tell me where we are going, yeah wanka!"He was beginning to enjoy himself too much even tempted to bringing the vehicle to a slow crawl as he rounded the Mansion's round-about. A soft sneer on his face only to dissappear as he'd let the woman out. **NOW!** "I'm in the foyer of your home and its so big I'm already lost." Gabriel chuckled lightly coming out from around his bedroom door looking out from over the banister off at Alexis looking pleased to see her there. "Don't move I'll be down shortly." Gabriel said returning to his room without another thought. He grabbed a few files and most importantly the photos and uniform he'd intended for her. a surely expertise plan in action. Gabriel came out and around a hidden spiral staircase approaching to meet her with a calm facade as he fixed the cufflinks attached to his suit. "So you ready to get started?" Gabriel grinned largely.

Alexis saw him upstairs looking down at her. Damn there were a lot of stairs. She waited as he disappeared and reappeared with something in his hands. As Gabriel carried himself down the stairs, she counted how many it takes to go up or down them. Though...Alexis eventually lost count, that and she lost interest fast.
Her eyes immediately fell to what was in his hands. Without her sight leaving it she listened to his words and she would give him the answer......
"So you ready to get started?"
"You're driver is an idiot and what the fuck is in your hand?" she understood some of which are files.... buuut what was the other thing he was holding? Her green hues looked to Gabriel's, "I mean...Yes...?" once fully giving Gabriel her full attention she couldn't help but smile. It had been awhile since she had seen her pal. Yeah she still had some form of smite towards him, but that was how Alexis was. Any impression you make on her, it will stick. Gabriel made a bad impression on her and it never really left. Luckily he was one of the rare and few whom received her loyalty.
"Good to see you, Gabriel." her Aussie accent hymned as she calmed her smile into a blank business look, "You sent for me?"

"You're driver is an idiot and what the fuck is in your hand?"
Gabriel cocked a brow and focused with a stern face. Though Marcus hadn't been the most polite of peoplehe above all was not an idiot, just not all too exposed to the finer language of the generation.
"I mean...Yes...?"
Gabriel nodded that was what he wanted to hear.
"Follow me then.." Gabriel offered up a hand knowing that she'd probably go on and refuse it however he kept in motion walking through a long hallway of different dipictions of artwork from all over Europe, many amous artists and sculptures littered their way as he led onwards to the back patio.
"What I had in mind was for you to orcastrate the Black Knights here in the Long Beach district, much like you did in Marseilles and Toulouse." Gabriel nodded as he pulled out a chair for her to sit.
The table was a pasty white complaction the new coat of paint had been applied to renew the cracked surface and structure it had once had but to the feel it remained everpresent. Like scars.
"This will be your uniform, and a personalized phone with all of this branch programmed in. As for the files, this is your homework..." Gabriel hinted slapping the manilla envelope down.
"It has labeled in it all o the gang's members and on top of that it has threats in the school, and potential subjects to join. I'd like for us to be as efficient as possible and have our gangs system revamped and alocated up to par with these threats, if that is at all managable...."
Gabriel smirked feeling more than confident in Alexis' abilities. He nodded quickly with a huge smile.
"And if you so desire I can give you an allowence, perhaps even a raise." It was an intended jab at her current living arrangements hoping that she could respect her own position and move up a bit in the world.

Alexis followed Gabriel down what seemed to be an eternity of halls. There was a lot of paintings and other works of art. Yeah, this guy was rich and she was busy underpaying hotties to move her junk in her apartment.
Finally they got to their destination and Gabriel pulled out a chair for Alexis. She merely rolled her eyes and sat herself down. He gave her the plans and she was a little surprised. He was giving this job to her? Yeah she was loyal and all... but not a lot of people trusted her.. not for trust issues but for her being a pathological liar.
Lexie was honored he had chose her to do the job... but she had one good look at the uniform.
OH GOD NO WAY I'M DOING THIS JOB! HE CAN FIND SOMEONE ELSE!
"And if you so desire I can give you an allowance, perhaps even a raise." and instantly after she heard the bribe...
"Okay!" she slipped the envelopes in her hand and grabbed hold of the uniform to throw it in a trash can near by. "No way I'm wearing that fucking piece of shit... I don't want to look like a tool... It makes it a little more hard to get ass if I look like a tool." Alexis smiled innocently, "Only a little though."
Lexie tipped the chair back and kicked her legs up on the tables white surface. Why you giving this to me..Yeah I know I'm awesome, but you actually trust me?" her sly smile was still on her face as she flipped through her homework.

"No way I'm wearing that fucking piece of shit... I don't want to look like a tool... It makes it a little more hard to get ass if I look like a tool."
Gabriel stared at her with a disbelieving look, if she kept up this character of taking down his authority more notches he'd have a splitting headache by the end of this meeting.
"Only a little though."
His stern face broke into a smile and a short chuckle, okay it was but a joke he had to lighten up a fair share but once more he'd returned to business mode.
"Why you giving this to me..Yeah I know I'm awesome, but you actually trust me?"
Gabreil had figured a question like that would arise somewhere and unlike his other motives of spontinuity he had some decent amount of reasoning behind this one. At least in his own mind.
"Well you seem to be characteristically all too much like me, on the surface you're a bit of a harsh environment but underneath you're as vulnerable as any of us." Gabriel made a soft grin kicking his chair back to mirror Alexis who would almost certainly deny the statement.
"And besides, who else is more underhanded than you, surely you have the natural skill sets to run this gang on your own." He laughed softly at the little joke.

Alexis listened to his reasoning and it irked her of course. She didn't like having people know how she is deep down... that's how Alexis came to be... well... Alexis.
Though, what ever. Gabriel knows and he better not go telling everyone Alexis was a baby bird with her wing broken. Alexis made her shell years ago and it was tough work.. shutting out everyone and being the bitch she would have hated as a child.
"Now you called me down here for just this? You couldn't have emailed me instructions and sent a little care package with the ugly uniform?" she let out a breathy laugh and stood from her chair. "Or was there anything else?" She sat herself on the table top and slid in front of Gabriel. With her left foot, she brought it up to his thigh and pushed down, so his chair would be leveled on the ground.
Gabriel was a guy and she didn't hate him, and therefore... got the Alexis treatment... Also part of it was always to see where her limit was with him. She was never really friends with a guy... Yeah there was Li... but she ended up sleeping with him and he proposed to her eventually.
"'Cause it would be a shame that I drove all the way down here just to get a piece of paper..." her smile was that one she always had on when she was working on her conquest.

Gabriel had been much like Alexis in that respect, alot closer to her than Olivia. Always trying to be so cold and detached from the world but really beneath the skin they needed some form of compassion, a heart? A false grin crossed his face as she moved to tease him. All too much like her though he didn't deny the advances in fact he reciprocated moving a small elogant finger along the inner lining of her leg. Not a word mentioned in response because quite honestly he didn't know what to do, he had loved Olivia, Loved Reira and they had died at his expence and dispite the fact that he didn't necessarily have any similar feelings towards Alexis. He feared growing them, and throwing her into the very same danger. It's why he left her the superior's work, he didn't want any harm to befall her, he wanted Alexis to be safe and productive but at the top.
"If only you could use your traits to a more productive factor..." A small glistening smile crossed his face as his finger traced a rose on her leg very slowly and in altering strokes.
"Perhaps to keep your men more in line I suppose." He smiled at the thought finding it quite humerous.

She bit her lip as Gabriel casually traced his fingers along her leg. He was used to her sexual acts and she was basically used to him being used to it. He was the only guy she had been with..without getting in his pants. He was a walking record for her.
"Perhaps to keep your men more in line I suppose." her brow cocked and she slipped off the table and sat on Gabriel, with her tip toes touching the ground on either side of the table. She was pretty close to him one would say...
"You don't think I am stern enough for them to listen to me without sex?" she grabbed the hand that was stroking her leg and she dragged it up to the bottom of her shirt, "You think I'm only good at that?" she pushed his hand further to lift up her shirt and expose to scars, one pink one white... and they were parallel to each other, "I'm a tough cookie after all... Got the scars to prove it... my war wounds."
Alexis would then lean in and snatch his lower lip in between her teeth, giving it a little tug. Only to separate and get off Gabriel. She placed her hands behind her head and she bent her body in a way to show she was merely stretching. She had her fun with him.
"So how do you want me to come about this, boss?"

Gabriel didn't resist he simply tried closing himself off emotionally becoming cold, hard and a shell of his personnal self, emerald eyes traced her grasp without intention as his hands tinkered up her shirt farther expecting more of a treat than what he'd initially been given, hence the closing off. A pair of scars, large ones from a battle of some sort, Gabriel left a finger to trace over them lightly. He knew she was tough, Alexis didn't need proof for that but he was worried for her nonetheless. She was the last thing he had of 'her' and in a sense that made him love Alexis. His gaze dropped only to be torn back up again as Alexis teased him sexually by biting at his lower lip. A feeling of arousal entertained him for a moment before he cooled himself down attempting to regain control.
"You are far more useful than that...do not let anyone tell you otherwise Lexi..." Gabriel would only call her by that name as to express his most sincere content.
He watched her "Stretch" With another epidemic of interest. Before averting his eyes to the floor again coming back into a stand to place himself behind her, a hand wrapping around her waist and his face to be leveled at her ear.
"As for what's to be done..." He whispered slowly, "I want you to control my men."
He knew all too easily deserted the Black Knights had been during Ground Zero. Now he had his Ace, and that was Alexis the most important key to his reorganization. The cards would come into paly soon.

He came up behind her and she felt his hand wrap around her waist. It was still weird to be this close with Gabriel. When she first met him she had such a burning hate for him... yet again he claimed to have slept with Olivia when really he didn't... that was always a one way ticket to irk a twin.
"As for what's to be done...I want you to control my men." his whisper could only send chills down her spine. She turned, now his hand would probably found a place on the small of her back. Her head would be tilted up to his face and she would give him a sincere smile.
"You got it..." she bit her lower lip and looked down suggestively then back up to his green eyes that matched hers, "Shame they don't have as good control as you."
She pressed up against him.. and she would lay a gentle kiss to him lips. They were soft and warm..of course, knowing Alexis she would want more.. but she pulled away as if she had a sudden realization. Her eyes stared at the floor, her hands were wrapped around his waist.
She couldn't be having this feeling again. That was too scary. She always managed to fuck it up...well not always there was only one other time.... that and another feeling struck her hard against her face... those lips are the lips Olivia kissed. Was Alexis being greedy for taking what Olivia had? Or was it as if she was living through Olivia's life she could not have? Either way, Alexis was scared to hurt yet another one she cared for with her pathetic personality and mental disorder.
Then again...
She looked up at him and kissed him again, as if she wanted to make sure. Yep... she was going to have to try and keep her distance from him. She pulled from him and looked to the floor.
"Don't fucking touch me." ouch? Alexis wanted to prevent hurting people and here she was putting on the cold act. Hopefully Gabe would see past that and ignore it this time.

"Shame they don't have as good control as you."
Then she hit him with those perfect lips of hers, the action merely stunning him momentarily before he was actually given the opportunity to enjoy himself if only for a moment. Then having relieved him shortly he focused blankly at her expression assuming it was more of her libido kicking in than anything. Though if she had he'd be unable to resiste. Gabriel had blue balls! He hadn't been with a woman since Olivia had died and was emotionally firing off in every direction extorting himself into constant fights to control himself. To destroy the thoughts.
Then again...
It happened once more this time Gabriel's hand cupped her waist tilting it to press into himself a bit more feeling the certain fire build. He wasn't sure of his own feelings only that he was weak now, control limited aside from the theatrics but he had to build upon those strengths.
"Don't fucking touch me."
Gabriel nodded not seperating the distance as he looked down into her eyes with curiosity, head in a haze and still enough control to manage himself.
"Then I suppose you have your duty...? Unless you have more that needs answering?" Gabriel reverted going back to business as he detatched himself.

The tension between them was thickening and Alexis almost couldn't stop... But she did. Which was weirder than the "almost couldn't stop" part. That girl leaped at any chance she could get to sleep with a guy that she didn't hate.
"Then I suppose you have your duty...? Unless you have more that needs answering?"
Alexis nodded and covered her mouth coughing a little... it was more of a nervous cough. "Mm.. yeah...I will.. just go.." she looked up at him and almost wanted to taste him again.. shit can't happen! "..now...I'll go now. Don't worry about getting me a driver. He was a fucktard and I want to save me the trouble of being in the same car as him." she walked to the threshold of the doorway that would lead to the halls that would then lead to the exit. Before she left, Lexie turn, but looked down at the linoleum floor and smiled, "Oh...and Gabe? It's good to see you again."
Then she would leave. She walked out and let the sun that was setting, soak in her skin.
Well... she was fucked.

Gabriel returned the sentiments with a wink and a smile. He did care for her, more than she could ever have the right to know. But showing a feeling meant you were slave to it, burdened by it's simbolic power. "It's good to see you as well...." Gabriel said feeling stupid as he let her walk off into the darka nd the depths of the dark night. He couldn't allow for her to be caught up in anything but she didn't want him around now that much was evident. "Lexie... Take the keys on the table, I think they'll be of use." And with that Gabriel dissappeared into his stead stroking an agrivated head. He'd given her a most precious item that wasn't handed out easily.
