-open-Everybody gets kicked if they don't stand up

[Sparrow]

Jace rolled his eyes. Esther might think she was all that and more but Jace knew better. He was a better fighter without a doubt and he assumed Nick was too considering he was the right hand of the DA. As for her intelligence, Jace had no doubt in his mind Kaycee was much more than she could ever be. But he said none of this. Instead, he watched the scene continue with a stony look on his face. Nick was an important figure in this place - he probably wouldn't take this abuse for much longer. And surprisingly, Jace thought to himself he would most likely back his new aquaintence up.

As for Kaycee, her emerald eyes narrowed at Esther. I do not need you to tell me things about the Dark Angel I already know. As for your workshop, I have to agree. If they didn't have leaders like myself and perhaps you, they would surely be lost.

Kaycee tilted her head slightly as Esther flirted with Wilder. She had always wondered what would happen if she herself paid the boy attention but never considered it a possibility. But since she was the prettiest here, maybe she would try it later. For now, she settled on placing a hand on her shapely hip and watching Esther's attempts with disgust.

[Phoenix]

Nick turned his head away sharply. He didn't very much care for this woman's attitude but he knew how much the Dark Angel valued her, so he forced himself to bite his tongue and keep from making any sort of comment. Though he felt himself smirk in satisfaction at the many ideas that popped into his head. With these thoughts bouncing around, he felt himself relax a little.

Wilder instantly shot to attention with perfect posture. Okay. Fun over. thanks, but no thanks. I'm not that desperate. I think I'll stick with Nick.

Nick snapped out of his daydream, his relaxed behavious evaporating just like that. Oh no you don't. You can bother anyone, I don't care who, just as long as you keep you and your idiotic manners far away from me.

Esther's face turned quickly into a very serious one as he looked at Nicholas, completely ignoring Wilder who seemed to want to stick with Nicholas. She looked at each of them, one by one, carefully. Once she confirmed that they were the only one in the rooms of records, she nodded her head. "Alright, since all of you are here, I think I better report this to everyone. Wilder, mind your mouth because this is very important and I don't want you to spill everything out."

She took a deep breath. "There is a mole among us, giving out the company's secrets like nobody's business. Now, I can't confirm who is the mole, but I know it's not anyone of us here. You people are loyal enough that was why I'm revealing to all of you this." She briefly turned to Nick.

"There are a few files that have been... accessed, without my..." She looked at Kaycee. "Or her consent. I had checked the record and it seemed that a ghost had been doing it since there was no one accessing the database at that time. The company's core secrets have been remained hidden, including our main project. However, this mole must be identified, and..."

She put her finger near her neck and did the throat slitting motion with her fingers.

[Sparrow]

With a small wink at Wilder, Kaycee spoke to him sweetly.
You can stick with me if you like.She flirted but then turned to Esther and nodded sharply when her partner acknowledged her. Of course, Kaycee would have said something if this had not happened but it pleased her that it occured without her doing.

Jace, hidden in the shadows of the room, ran a hand through his dark hair thoughtfully. He always enjoyed a good killing and this seemed like an ample time. Jace spoke up, a rare sight indeed. A ghost huh? Can you give us anymore information? He asked coldly, as Kaycee placed a hand on his shoulder as a sign she was with him. The two spoke easily through their actions- a twin thing. Although it also happened Kaycee was the only person Jace would allow to touch him.

[Phoenix]

Wilder didn't reply to Kaycee, but when Nick and Jace were occupied, he winked back at her.

At the exact moment Esther mentioned a mole, Nick's head whipped around to glare at Wilder. Wilder put his hands up instantly as if he had just been caught by the police. Whoa! Nick! Buddy! She just said we're all trustworthy. Yo, I know you don't like me that much. Nick's glare deepend and Wilder rolled his eyes, but lowered his arms. Okay, okay, you hate me. But look, I'm not dumb enough to stab Dark Angel in the back. Okay? It's cool.

Nick knew that everything Esther and Wilder said was true, but it didn't mean he had to like it. Instead he turned away from Wilder and looked back at Esther, an evil twisted smirk on his face, the kind he always carried when he was carrying out Dark Angel's favourite tasks. Any ideas?

[Noel Sanders]

Good. She got their attention, and now she could proceed with the business that she was kept in charge with. The moment she remembered her work, she felt something jumping up and down in her head... And when the face of the DA appeared in her mind with a smirk, the felt that the pain instantly intensified several times over. She looked at all of them.

"As much as I would like to throw Wilder into the giant mixer in the kitchen, he's not our guy. I have a few ideas but I don't want to point fingers at anyone... yet. Unity is an asset that the DA wants to keep, and one without fear preferably." She nodded at Nick and Jace, and gave a hard cold stare at Wilder.

"I can tell you whoever did this is a mutant and I have pinpointed his or her possible ability into a certain scope. This mutant has the ability to either phase through impassable terrains or communicate through electronics. Of course, orchestrated efforts of several mutants at the same time to reach this effect is a possibility. Other similar abilities must also be taken note of, such as the ability of clairvoyance."

She smiled at the rest of them. "Anyone has any thoughts?"

[Sparrow]

Jace glanced over at his sister. Her expression was stone-cold and her arms had crossed over her chest. The very obvious signs she was furious. In which case, he wanted to know why.

I just have one. Jace's voice rolled to a dangerous tone. Why do you know of such things and Kaycee does not? I don't like being conned Esther. he added with dark emphasis on her name.

Kaycee wasn't surprised Jace stood up for her, but she was interested that Wilder was flirting back with her. Though she considered him so far as immature, she had to appreciate his casual take on life. She herself didn't take her existence too seriously either most days. So with a fake shy smile at him, She uncrossed one of her arms and twirled a strand of dark hair around one finger coyly.

[Phoenix]

When Esther spoke up Wilder felt a big relieved grin cross his face and nodded vigirously. Yah! Yah! See! Esther said so! I'm not the spy! Though that didn't guarantee his safety, so he took a step closed to Kaycee. He had a feeling she was the one least likely to throw him in harm's way. Though she probably did on some kind of level.

Wilder was aware she was still flirting with him, and on most days he would play along for his amusement, but right now he was a little more concerned about his well-being.

Nick decided to just ignore everything that Wilder did and said from that moment on... Though that was what he told himself every second, he knew it would only be a matter of time before Wilder pissed him off for the billionth time. However, for now he would do his best.

Phasing you say? He said, not really caring about what Jace said. When it came to the matter of a traitor or spy, you could not wonder where such information came. Hey, even if turned out to be false, it would be better to have been dealt with then having an actual spy get away unpunished.

[lianakat]

As the boys were bickering about a ghost Liana was simply darkness in the shadow of Nick. She was sure he had felt her the whole time but just didn't say anything. A spy in the midst of Liana, this was preposterous. She was always watching for infiltrators. Hell she was head of stealth and ranked as the best assassin in the world but had someone outdone her? Not possible. No one had gotten in or out of the corporation without her knowing it.

She then turned into her cat form behind Nick and then walked infront of him. Shadows warped around her and began to grow into the shape of a woman. They ceased and sank into Liana's eyes. "Well, it seems we have a traitor in our midst. Any ideas?" Liana said in her playful voice. She laughed a little about the idea of someone more stealthily than herself. "Well?" She said again. It gave her a reason to hunt and kill, her two favorite things. She would need to conjure up a stealth force now to search and destroy. With the dark angels permission of course.

[Sparrow]

Jace noticed Nick completely ignored his skepticism and moved right on to the plan. Fine. If the Dark Angel's pet could trust this weird scientist, than Jace supposed he could to. I'll see what I can find. Kaycee? He asked, turning around to face her before heading out the door.

Kaycee, who was already semi-annoyed that Wilder was not playing her little game but had the nerve to stand close to her, snapped out of her thoughts to look at her brother. Hmm? Oh yeah, I'll check the security cameras and whatnot. You keep an eye on electronical communication as that is your forte, brother. She answered Jace, knowing exactly what he was thinking before he had to say anything.

Ignoring Liana who had the odd habit of popping into places randomly, Jace held the door open for his sister and Kaycee ducked under his arm and into the hallway. Until another time, Jace said to those still in the room with a vicious smile on his face as he shut the door behind him.

[Phoenix]

Nick nodded when the twins said what they would do for their part to try and track down the traitor. It was certainly what they did best, so why keep them from their jobs?

Nick had sensed Liana's arrival and did not jump or act surprised when she appeared and spoke. He turned to her. No ideas as to who it might be, but you heard the twins. They'll check surveillance and communications to hunt him or her down. Have you seen anything unusual? He ignored the polite 'hellos' getting straight to business.

Wilder on the other hand jumped a couple feet in the air and yelled, looking ready to pee his pants. HOLY LIANA! You scared me! Stop doing that! He said, putting a hand over his chest, as if he had just suffered a heart attack. One of these days you're going to kill me.

Nick rolled his eyes. I wish she would.

[lianakat]

Not surprised with Nicks reaction she got nothing out of it but Wilder made her laugh out loud. She began her mischievous laugh that made men shiver. The reactions of most added to this laugh. But down to serious matters there was a traitor in our midst. "Well Nick, I have an idea." Liana closed her eyes and crossed her arms. Darkness poured out of her eyes and fingers and began to wrap the room in darkness. Closing off the exits and completely disabling most senses. "Well Nick," She said releasing the darkness from his eyes. "I think this will due. I think we have an xman in our midst. Meet me in the observatory." The darkness subsided back into Liana's eyes and fingers. "Well, I'll be watching you all." She then evaporated like black smoke in the wind and left the room.

[Phoenix]

Nick was a little frustrated, to say the least, with Liana's evasive-ness. Though now that nearly everyone had cleared the room, he was able to think over what he had learned from Esther, the twins, and Liana and try and make sense of all these bits and attempt to piece them together.

So wait.... What now? Wilder asked. He was more confused now then he had been in a long time. He tilted his head to the side, looking at Nick expectantly.

Nick growled and his hand shot out to hit Wilder in the back of the head. Again. Shut your mouth you idiot! He quietly regarded Wilder. Go to the training facilities and do some sort of work out. We might be going into battle soon and everyone needs to be in top physical shape! Although this was true, he was just hoping if Wilder worked out long enough, he'd be too tired to bother Nick.

Nick turned and left the room, planning to head to his 'office' and start going over everyone's records that they had on file.

Wilder straightened up and saluted Nick Yes Sir! And turned to head to the training room.

-AAAAAAAAAAND SCENE!!! -
