For the night (Teh Bad Guyz)

[Tyr Odinson]

He waited just a few moments. See, while most would have just stepped out knowing they were caught, Daniel had a subsequent reason for not popping out of his shell immediately. See, when a man becomes comfortable in himself and in the people around him, he lets down his guard, giving way to more information then her himself could gather. Her mission was, indeed, to get him alone, and perhaps at the moment she would be confused as to his reluctance to emerge, but within moments he was sure she would grasp with a realization, the purpose of his patience. Intimidation and violence was always a convincer, but a womans charm and a slick, smooth smile could gather just as much, and trust could gather more. She would recognize her opportunity, this he was sure of.

And once he refused to answer, or began to get suspicious...Well, then his secrecy would no longer be needed. He waited, straining his ears to listen to what was being said. He trusted Vanessa to get the job done, and would wait for the whistle she used to use in previous missions of this nature. There were several things Daniel and his crew needed to know- where and who Unfettered was, and why he held so much influence over the populace, where David Blaze was, and whether he was on good terms with the School Captain.

He propped his legs up, hooking his arms around his knees as he waited for the preliminaries to finish.

[Vanessa Wolfe]

"Well you never know when the big bad raccoon could just maul us at any moment.."

Vanessa giggled at the thought of a rabid raccoon jumping out of nowhere to jump them. It was pretty unlikely because unless it had rabies or something, it would be more scared of them than aggressive. Either way, he seemed to be responding to her advances, his aura softening around him as he touch her waist, bringing them closer.

"That or something more dangerous..."

"Oh?"

Her hand trailed from his face down the side of his neck to rest at his chest. She looked mildly concerned with a playful look in her eyes. As if she knew he was kidding, but at the same time unsure.

"Is there anyone here I should be afraid of?"

Yes...tell me all about the 'dangerous' students of Long Beach. All the people I need to 'look out' for....as targets. Bahaha..

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel chuckled his voice coming down to something thought of as little more than a whisper for anything else would be too much and something more dangerous than any conflict of fists. A curious wink and all too sultry gaze flashed as her back would be pressed against the tree atop the hill, of course if her grip was unyielding to his force she could just as easily sway his movements. A firm wink and sedated smile all too sure of himself.

"Right now I'm the only thing you have to worry about."

Still grinning all too devilishly, they were teasing after all what did she expect of him to do a formal file listing all of Gabriel's foes and those who were presented as strong in this school. No a show of force was the only way to tinker with his thoughts to that extent.

[Vanessa Wolfe]

Vanessa felt the her back come in contact with the tree, and her brain automatically started calculating. He could pin her to his tree, trap her if he so desired. It wasn't the best vantage point right now, and she would have to correct it. Laughing, she went along with his movements, though shifting her hips, using the natural woman strength of her lower body in order to flip them so that it was she who was pressing him against the tree.

"Oh really now?"

She purred, laughter in her sparkling eyes. here was her chance to get information out of him the nice way, the non-violent way. Despite her hidden strength, and reputation of being a hard ass back at PHS 311, she really didn't mind peaceful negotiations. They took a lot less energy.

"You mean there isn't anyone I should out for here? Not, say, the pillars? Or other strong, dangerous people?"

She frowned ever so slightly, her eyes widening a little bit in a look that painted her as the weaker new kid that she was. Hah.

[Tyr Odinson]

Down, below him, they stood. He moved to pin her to a tree, but Vanessa was a harder nut to crack then that- she reversed him easily, asking her questions with the strength of that charismatic form. He was above them, about thirty feet, watching from the branches. His eyes flashing. He was crouched on a branch, gripping the tree easily.

He waited.

'Draw him in with your gaze...make him talk without even lifting a finger.'

She was the best at what she did, the only threat to his title, and yet on his side. It was beautiful...Still, he didn't smile; in fact, he frowned. They were flirting, and she actually seemed to be enjoying herself. Or perhaps she was simply effecting even him. He waited, watching.

'Hnnh...'

[Gabriel Seran]

"Oh really now?"

A calm prospect even now as he was shifted pressed close enough back to the tree pressure sifted and though while fighting against it was in his nature letting go was just as hard a notion to compete with as well. So the body faltered, shifting as to give the woman power if even for the moment.

"You mean there isn't anyone I should out for here? Not, say, the pillars? Or other strong, dangerous people?"

hmmm?

Now the notion of the pillars set his mind on an instant of instinctual defensive mode. The question seemed all too specific to be sultry or of that fashion but he'd play along just as well seeing as he'd yet to give away even a name. Not of friend nor foe, even of his own nature.

"Someone known as Gabriel Seran, he's the only one anyone like you should watch out for... My bet is he'd snatch you up with his gaze just as well as with his fists."

Gabriel's own lips centering close but inches from hers teasing with the curious word play should it be taken that it was indeed him or another from the schoolyard. It was all simply a matter of perception.

[Vanessa Wolfe]

HAHAHAHAHAHHHHAHAHAHAH.

Gabriel Seran, huh? Gabriel Seran?! The lout was talking about himself! Not that Nessa was supposed to know who he is. She knew all about him. In fact, Anthony had given them profiles on everyone in the school from freshman to senior, and even a majority of the faculty. Granted, there were some gaps in the research, but anything she hadn't already learned, she would see right now thanks to her intuition.

"Oh?"

She asked, frowning slightly. He was returning the play, dancing his lips just far enough away from hers. If she wanted to, she could turn him into a puddle in an instant. There were times where that was entertaining to her, but right now she had a job to do. He didn't want to talk about the pillars, he only talked about himself. One more strike, and Vanessa would have to turn up the volume.

"There's no one strong enough to take him down?"

She asked, her voice dropping to just above a whisper. They needed someone to fill in the gaps of the profiles. Find out where the strongest students hang out. Who they associate with. Weaknesses. Anything. And Gabe was going to give that to them if he wanted to or not.

[Gabriel Seran]

"There's no one strong enough to take him down?"

A cocked brow at the challenge. Of course he'd seen many a great foe, of those he'd fought essentially he'd stood out amongst the rest, to be quite honest the only ones who'd ever essentially been a challenge or threat weren't those with physical strength alone, rather they were incredibly worldly with more force behind their muscles more endowed within their movements.

"At this school, there is no equal in regards of strength nor speed."

Gabriel chuckled truthfully, of course the masterful art of deception was mixing the world with half truths and the occasional little white lie.

"If their is a suitable challenger of course, he doesn't play games." Again another suitable lie fixated as a half truth. For Gabriel loved to play games.

[Vanessa Wolfe]

"But what of you..?"

She asked naively, as she wasn't supposed to know who he was.

"Couldn't you be a match for him?"

If Gabriel believed he was the strongest person in Long Beach, then this mission was going to be easier than she thought. He was formidable, yes, she could feel that. But against the four infamous pillars of 311? His body would fall just like the walls of Jehrico...

...and they all came tumblin' down.

[Tyr Odinson]

"I know your not this stupid Seran."

He lay on the branches above, hands behind his head as he stared skyward.

"Your infamous for your talent in manipulating conversation, as well as manipulating people." He rolled over, falling out of the tree and landing about five feet to the right of the Dragon. "In fact, im sure you already know what it is we know about you, and you have probably guessed that the purpose of her questions are not entirely without reason." He shrugged. "Of course, you also probably know that right now, you have two options." He began rolling up his sleeves slowly. "Your going to give us information that we ask, and your going to do it without resistance-- then we are going to put you in the hospital, but you will appear brutalized, and some may sympathize with you for once . Or, your going to refuse, spit at us, call us names or whatever it is you wish to do to appear strong, and we are going to put you in the hospital with your resistance, and none will care. Either way, you will be going to the hospital, but perception is what counts."

He walked forward, touching Vanessa gently on the shoulder, an indicator for her to step away. He gave a small, polite smile of respect.

"Thank you for trying-- i know how this kind of work bores you at times." After she moved, he would remove his glasses, handing them to her gently.

"Hold these, if you would."

He fist would suddenly explode- not literally, but the sound it made would be a definite crack- the air around it seemed compressed, though in actuality he was throwing a simple punch- so fast and hard it tore through the air around them. It would smash into the boys sternum, and send him crashing through the tree, and probably through several others. Daniel would place his hands in his pockets and walk after him, using his senses to feel where this boy was...the kid was strong, and Daniel knew a blow like that would probably not put him out. Still, it would be an indicator, and that was what was important.

'We can't waste too much time here: i will need to end this quickly.'

"Couldn't you be a match for him?"

But Gabriel was him

One and the same a curious smirk set on his features flaunting that very same fact even though at times he'd detest it. Gabriel knew full well of what he was, a creature of conflict and in that same sense contradiction. For the world grew off of chaos and so Gabriel was the soul of the world a creator and in the same sense the destroyer yet again a bigger purpose was created for such. He had a greater purpose to play to.

"I know your not this stupid Seran."

Gabriel smiled turning about keeping the distance between him and the girl the same though trowing a protective arm of sorts subtly to her defense of course not knowing their allegiance towards one another just yet.

"Your infamous for your talent in manipulating conversation, as well as manipulating people."

Manipulating people? Was that what the kids were calling it these days? Gabriel shrugged a nonchalant expression taking aback his defensive grasp rather inciting something of straightforward and often foolhardy pigheadedness.

"In fact, im sure you already know what it is we know about you, and you have probably guessed that the purpose of her questions are not entirely without reason."

"Of course, you also probably know that right now, you have two options."

"Is that so?"

"Your going to give us information that we ask, and your going to do it without resistance-- then we are going to put you in the hospital, but you will appear brutalized, and some may sympathize with you for once . Or, your going to refuse, spit at us, call us names or whatever it is you wish to do to appear strong, and we are going to put you in the hospital with your resistance, and none will care. Either way, you will be going to the hospital, but perception is what counts."

Gabriel grinned shirking the sense of fear. He may not have been able to know full well how powerful these characters were, nothing but brief whispers of the current hierarchy stepping down. That in itself was something of plausible worry to contemplate but it was rather the demeaning fashion by which they spoke to him, something not to dissimilar to everyone else who'd placed themselves as enemies of Gabriel Seran, always so certain of their superiority always putting down the weak for their own selfish reprisals rather than boosting them up. That was the battlefield by which they were enemies. One of morals.

"Well I never have been one to step away from a fight, regardless of the adversary." Gabriel set up his own confident facade shirking his previous notion of plausible fear of the situation, he had to be strong enough to set an example for not only himself but the school.

The sudden explosion sounded like a sudden sonic boom, a noise Gabriel had been all too accustomed to, the force of which catching him of guard and sending him backwards through the tree roughly. Flying down the hill Gabriel landed in his self made crater. A calm smile on his face despite the flow of blood at the back of his head.

"ouch that hurt a little." Gabriel would smirk getting up to shake free the foliage about him before starting back up the hill.

"I know your not this stupid Seran."

Sigh.

And things were going so well...

When Daniel jumped down from the tree, Gabriel put his arm slightly in front of her as if to protect her. HahahahaHAHAHAHHA... What a gentleman. Too bad she wasn't the one needing protecting. Daniel spoke his schpeel, Gabriel responding with what she was beginning to notice was his characteristic smirk. Then Daniel walked forward, touching her on the shoulder.

"Sorry, Handsome."

She winked at him, letting her hands fall off him to her sides, taking a few steps back until she was just out of reach.

"Thank you for trying-- i know how this kind of work bores you at times. Hold these, if you would."

"Hm."

Honestly, Ness felt a little put off by his jumping in, because now she was to serve as a glasses case, or a coat stand while the boys got to have all the fun. Whatever, at least she wouldn't have to get her hands dirty, right? She took his glasses in her hands, crossing her arms over her stomach as she watched things begin to unfold.

Crash, Gabriel was sent through the tree and down the hill. Nessa raised her arms, side stepping a branch that tumbled her way. Poor tree...what had it ever done to them? The girl glided over to where the remainder of the tree stood, perching herself on the stump. She placed her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands, still holding Danny's glasses. This looked like it was going to get interesting.

[Tyr Odinson]

"It will get worse."

He was behind gabriel now, the kid having come to his feet and looking back the way they had come without realizing Daniel was already there. Poor sap. He would grab his opponents head like a clamp, both hands holding on to both sides with an iron force. He would use one foot to kick out the knees of his enemy from behind, dropping him to his caps. As he did so, he put unbelievable pressure on his opponents head, pushing from both sides yet not looking like he was straining in the least. He would then throw him upward, and before his body would truly leave the ground, he would punch him as hard as possible in the Lumberic curve- the part of the spine that bent forward more then most, just above his buttox. This would chuck his body forward, and cause him to roll right back uphill, directly toward Vanessa.

He knew she wouldn't move.

He had done this so many times before- systematically destroyed his enemies body, made him feel totally weak and frail. He would appear, exactly twelve inches in front of Ness, holding out his right hand to catch Gabriels body by the front of his chest. He didn't move an inch, dirt and earth flying out around them but none touching the girl behind him.

He used the grip on the shirt to jerk Gabe forward, slamming his own head upward to crack into Serans nose and chin repeatedly (4 times) before hurling him left. He made it known that he was in control, and after hurling him he would look over his shoulder, cocking an eyebrow in question.

"So, how does my butt look?"

He cracked a very small smile before giving her a wink and walking in the direction of this kids body. He hoped to shock her, make her laugh, or at least blush. He rarely joked, and it was always when he was fighting, for fighting brought out the far more playful and slightly psychotic side to him. He was taking it easy, simply showing his opponent his strength. Now, however, he would truly begin to fight.

"Alright Gabriel, i've given you your preliminary information. Activate your Qi so we can get this over with."

He continued to follow the path that his body-pitch had made, waiting for the reply from the treeline.

[Gabriel Seran]

"It will get worse."

The voice would flow evenly from both before him and now suddenly behind him. A firm grin as the sound of the click snapped off suddenly with a forceful tug.

*Click*

IT was a necessary move to match this warrior, he'd not acknowledged the boy's abilities just yet but rumors flew quickly through the school. A sudden burst of rampant speed would drop barely under his foes grip. With his right hand Gabriel would grip the floor giving himself a good balance for the forward strike he'd next present. Angling his feet up together into a joint strike at 45* angled up into Daniel's lower ribcage the force of which delivering the full powered heated strike.

With another sudden clasp of speed Gabriel would come out the other end back on his feet dropping his clasped palms together in a downward hammer strike fired at Daniel's face the triggered force destined to slam him again downward assuming the attacks continued their predestined course through.

"So I see you're not just some pumped up ego here for another stroking.." Gabriel chuckled with a certain fiery passion in his voice, he was excited for this fight. Nothing had gotten him this fired off right off the bat.

[Tyr Odinson]

Oh, well, wasn't that just peachy.

A grin- not a smile, but a full blown grin, would spread across his face. Vanessa had her cue, and it came far sooner then expected. His hands came down, clasping the feet that nearly knocked the wind from him- he couldn't stop it touching him, but his eyes picked up the movement from a mile away. He held on, staring at Gabriel with a maniacal grin.

"Unfortunately, i won't need my full power to beat you."

He gripped harder- a lot harder, twisting so Gabriel would spin in the air and land flat on his back- giving his head the perfect opening that Nessa needed to cave Gabriels skull clean into the earth, destroying all resistance.

'Hope he didn't think this was one on one...i take no risks, however infinitesimal they may be.'

The boy had strength, and he was a fighter, but this battle needed to be over quickly, for there were bigger fish to fry.
