The other two include a homeless child and angry Scotsmen, so I don't think that information would be of much use to me now." Lucius called for a lackey, who showed up quickly with a tray containing a small bread-cake thing and two cups of tea, slightly warm.
"I should marry you..." Serafim said with a joking smirk as he relished his tea and cake, somehow managing to preserve some manners as he ate and drank like it was the last tea and cake on the face of the Earth. "It sure would make Francesca forgiving me easier...Not to mention it'd give you an excuse to read to me and feed me."
He set his cup down after drinking the last drop of his third serving.
"Back when I first joined the Cult, it was in Moscow...That Cell was heavily infiltrated...which was both a good thing and a horrible tragedy. Good, because it meant that if my cover got blown, it didn't matter. And a tragedy because, just like back in St. Petersburg, I had little to no freedom...and everyone treated me like a pet dog...They didn't give me tea or cake. Mostly just warm water with some leaves from some random plant and old bread."

Though before he got there he sheathed his gunblade and entered looking around for Henry and Alex. "I know you are here rouge." He said searching the store for them. "We can just talk, you don't have to run." He said as he had finally found them. "Instead of risking innocent lives, why don't you just join us protectors." He whispered to Henry sounding as friendly as he could.

Such treatment of a person so worthwhile was unthinkable. Many would peg the Cult as being evil and inhuman, but the opposite was the case; it saw humanity as the perpetrator of such evil acts, and it was working to react as such.
But the terror was broken off once again, and the usual splendor returned to Lucius' smile. "I am a bachelor, after all. Never had the intention of settling down unless I found someone who truly needed me. I thought that might be Francesca, once..."

"The woman deserves some praise. And I hardly come into contact with anyone else on a regular basis, so it only made sense to find attraction to her eventually. But nowadays she's just not like she once was. She's too focused on getting the job done as opposed to doing it but enjoying ourselves. She just goes too fast. But she is off, now, and not really the focus of our attention, hmm? You are much more important than her..."

Serafim's eyes widened at the last part of Lucius' ramblings.
"Excuse me?"

Serafrim just blushed. That was all he could do.
"I...I..." He hesitated, words finding it impossible to surge from his lips. But as he cast his eyes down and saw Lucius' hand nearby, his hesitation faded away.
He suddenly held Lucius' hand, and spoke with a smile that spoke of a million joys and eyes that were watery. "I don't care how many times I've said it already...Thank you, Lucius...Thank you so much."

There's a feeling deep inside me,
And it's always there to guide me.
It's in my heart and in my soul,
Leading me to the ultimate goal!
You can try your best this might be fun,
You'll go down in defeat before you've begun!

Francesca switched the view on her laptop to the medical ward. Lucius was still there, this time reading something to Serafim. She sighed; if you get too attached to someone, you make mistakes. She unlocked her desk drawer and took out a picture, looked at it for a time, before putting it back. You can make fatal mistakes when you're close to someone. The Donna left her office, locking the picture back in the drawer on the way out. She also stowed the Cassis in the vault of the HQ. Other artifacts were here too, such as Nero's Violin. As the number of Cultists decreased over the years, the number of unused artifacts grew. She locked the vault back up and being the only one able to open it, due to fingerprint recognition, voice recognition and a number of other measures, left satisfied that nobody could get into it.
Francesca stepped onto the jetty as two lackeys returned from the city. "Donna Francesca!" one called and they ran over to her. "We detected artifact users in the city. There seemed to be about five fighting near the Rialto bridge!" they announced.
"Thank you," replied the tall redhead, "I'll go investigate." With that, she climbed into one of the boats, was untied from the dock by the lackeys and headed off towards the city.

Up above the city of Venice a lone figure stood on on the rail of a helicopter. Just then the Hawk, the stealth helicopter for the Cult, stopped moving. An ice cold slithering voice began to speak.
Ssssirrrr the voice said We are above Misssss Francsssesssca'sss current location. Ssshe is about to confront three rouge artifact usssserssss and a small tassssk force of Protectorssss. Do you wish to drop now? the voice questioned. The figure on the railing answered.
Yes, I think that is the appropriate action to take. By the way, Crone does Francesca have the Chassis in her possession?
This time another feminine voice answered. This one sounded older then the slithering voice that had spoken before.
Yes, Master Chrisis, Donna Francesca is currently in possession of the Chassis. Also, She has two other cult members as well as a member of "The Organization with her.
"The Organization" huh, the figure replied with a small bit of interest creeping into his voice. I haven't heard that name in a while. Francesca must of had a ball with that encounter. Anyways...
... I best be off.
With that the figure known as Chrisis jumped from the helicopter suspended 400 feet above the ground.

Two seconds later the ground behind Dona Francesca was occupied by a dog like figure. This wolf, as the dog turned out to be, the began to morph into a human being.
Hello Francesca. Chrisis said long time no see...
There's a feeling deep inside me,
And it's always there to guide me.
It's in my heart and in my soul,
Leading me to the ultimate goal!

I went up to him and whispered, "Meet me outside the city.. I have plan." Then I went to Alex and said the same thing.
Outside side the city, I saw both of them and took shape in front of them. "I see you came," I said. "Let's get down to business.. I have an idea to create our own organization, completely seperate from the Cults and Protectors. We will recruit and find artifacts from other rogues and from either side. I am currently on a mission to hunt down a Protector. We can take her down easily. You two take the shard out of the city, while I take a dud to the Cults and collect the money. Luckily, they do not know about my secret account." I took a breather. "What do you say?" I chuckled.

Hello Francesca. Chrisis said long time no see...
"Long time Chrisis, how have things been?" she asked. "I'm assuming you have heard about the... liberation of a piece valuable to us? Either way, I've come out to the city because of news brought by members of our business."

"Yes. I am well aware of your operation and of it's rewards." Chrisis responded. "I also know that you are on your way to confront three rouge shard users. I am here to inform you that there is also two highly powerful Protectors which are backed up by a large battalion of Protectors. It is without need to say that "She" is with them."
"That changes things. Whilst battling the Protectors and liberating treasures is fun, it probably would not be the best idea to fight them here. It might be more prudent to move onto the next artifact," she decided.
