Question Time [Eli]

[Ariel Charlotte Dawson]

"Operations are fine, completely under control. Yes, I do realize the threat this town is facing right now, and I know exactly what to do. Minimize it? No, I have a better idea for that. Thats why I'm not the one who plunged to my death in my own office." She sighed, hanging up the phone and placing it back on the desk. She looked around the office, before walking up to the window slowly and looking down at the city before her. She always loved the view in this office, and the window was all fixed now, which was always good. She didn't exactly see the need for anyone else to go flying out of the window, unless of course one of those arrogant businessmen decided to bust her balls.

She was tired of needing to tell everyone things here were under control. They seemed to be weary and undermine her due to the events circulating around this building, and of an attack which had happened recently. Oh, but the bastard was dead now, that made her more than happy. But what excited her was the fact that it was one of the brothers who actually committed the crime. Whether by accident or some other reason, she didn't care. All she knew that she now had the leverage she needed to use them. She didn't know whether the hybrid boy would tell the brother about what happened to the body due to hers truly, and she didn't even care. She had the hybrid right where she wanted him, as he was the key to getting to the Brothers and possibly other things as well. A hybrid? It was so rare, yet exciting to her. She needed to know more.

She did assume though, due to a vampire's nature, he would be flying through a roof or busting down her door soon, looking for answers. They had good scents, wouldn't take him long to track her down. She was ready though; gun in her drawer, holy water in in what looked like a business folder. Though she did hope he wasn't going to be wanting to fight her or anything, she had much bigger plans for him then to kill him.

"Excuse me, is Ariel Dawson in?". The receptionist smashed through a plane of glass, scattering shards polluting the floor. They hit the ground face first and slide across the well-pollished floor. Eli wasn't really into the appointment thing, or waiting thing, especially when his boyfriend was involved. It wasn't pure rage going through him but it was close. Call it severe anger and completely pissed off vampire man. After what had happened, he wasn't going to wait for Hart Enterprises to come and collect from the Brothers, Eli was taking the fight to them. He didn't want any dept for Axel, nor did he want a constant reminded of that night for him. It was hard for Axel, and he just wanted him to get past it. So Eli would do anything to assure this would happen. Including unconscious employees and whatever else would come his way. Marching up the hall, showing he didn't give a shit what happens, as long as Axel is safe.

In front of him teleported a horned demon, kinda short but fast. Eli didn't stop, but kept moving towards it. He hadn't seen anything uglier then this, but he wasn't threatened. Ariel seemed to be the most intimidating person in this place anyways. As it charged at him, Eli was already prepared to attack. In his peripheral vision he saw a glass window leading into an office, so he had an idea. As the demon approached, it spun and sent a roundhouse kick towards Eli. But how he was feeling, nothing was going to stop him. In order to ensure this, he had to improvise. Catching the demon's leg, he grunted as he swung it into the window. Its head cracked on it and smashed the window, thick shards falling down but Eli was quick enough to catch one. Doing something that would have freaked him out maybe a year ago, he stabbed the demon in the face with the glass, killing the demon instantly as it fell to the ground lifeless-er, and Eli kept walking.

Getting to the office door, he heard security running up the hall after him. Eli didn't give a shit, so he just kicked the centre of the duel doors. They smashed open, the sounded of the metal lock skidding across the ground as he walked into the office, glaring forwards at the woman. Standing in front of her desk, he crossed his arms as he looked down at the girl. It wasn't hard to find her room, the smell of women's perfume and her scent off of the card made it not had to find her. But he was here, and wasn't leaving until he was sure that Axel and his brothers would be okay, and that they could sweep this whole incident under the rug. Sighing as he looked at her, he glared and stood his ground and of course, his case. "I got your card, Dawson. Just so you know, your security sucks dick!".

[Ariel Charlotte Dawson]

As she was about to sit down at her chair and have a quiet afternoon, examining her case reports and other documents, the door smashed down with rather brute force. She looked over at the culprit, knowing full well who it would be. She smirked as she saw Eli. He soon commented on her security, and she chuckled softly. She was impressed with this young man; gorgeous looks, obviously powerful and didn't really care much for authority. She could use someone like that in her office, to do all her dirty work. But he seemed to be doing the brother's dirty work instead. "Oh? Metaphorically yes, we both know its actually you going down on someone. Or is that Axel?" She may be angering this young man with her words, but she wasn't going to be intimidated by this man, as touch as he may be.

She soon noticed the security barging in, and going to grab Eli. "Leave him. I think we can both be civil about business. After all, he didn't come here to simply pummell me, his far too smart for that. That is, unless I was wrong after all?" The smirk remained on her face as she watched the security walking out, before turning her glance back towards Eli. "I really should look into hiring more productive security. They may serve their purpose against the lunatics believing this place is a candy store, but for people like you, they don't stand a chance. I guess thats why I usually carry a shot gun on me. But even that isn't security enough against someone like you?" She sat down at her chair, cocking her legs up, crossing them over each other. If this man was willing to talk, she would talk. But if he decided to try anything stupid, she would be ready.

She grinned at him softly. "So I help your little playmate out, and this is how you repay me? By the way, how is your cute little playmate? I must say I did enjoy hearing that it was at his hands, definantly something I never saw coming. It must be your own influence on him, yes? I am impressed." The cocky smirk reappeared on her lips, she did enjoy stirring the plot and messing with people's minds. She was in control of this situation, not him, no matter how many doors he decided to kick in.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

She had the nerve to smirk. How fucking polite of her, really. With a guy who kicked your doors down standing in front of you looking mightily pissed off, you would think some people would be smart enough to not do stupid things. He now saw that it was just irony with a bit of truth. She was human. He could smell it on her, could smell the putrid blood coursing through her veins as he looked at her. How some vampires find it delicious was beyond him, but looking at her she actually had the nerve to be smart back at him. What she said, it seemed she had searched into them much more then Eli had thought. He actually chuckled as he heard it, and shook his head. "Ahhh, well actually. Your a sick bitch. And yeah, that's enough said". He said as he took a few more steps towards her, well at least until he heard security come in. And they came with stakes and holy-water guns. How cute!

As soon as he heard the swung of a stake being stabbed at him, he turned and gripped onto the guys arm and twisted it, breaking their wrist. The sound of the breaking bone in his wrist made him feel sick, but he then delivered a strong kick to the guys gut as he flipped to the ground. He was ready to fight them all, but Ariel called them off - for some unknown reason. Glaring down at the guy who attacked him, he gritted his teeth and growled. "Try to touch me again, and I will beat you to death with your own broken hand". He threatened and turned away as four of the guys stayed in the corners of the room, but the rest left. Guess they just couldn't risk Ariel getting hurt. Big talk, little show. All that she could back it up with was some strong words of a strong woman, at least mentally. "Depending on what you have to say, I could possibly go stupid very very soon".

She constantly wanted to keep egging him on, thinking that whatever she said he wouldn't be able to do anything about. But he could still scare the living shit out of her without hurting her, and he could take on four guards. He tried to listen but it was bullshit, and waiting wasn't exactly a strong point for him. But when she started on Axel's situation again, it hit a tick in Eli's mind. He wouldn't hurt her, he would never hurt a woman, but he could scream at them. "He is a mess. Does that make you happy? I thought you were helping the brothers ever since the portal left-over-power thing happened. Whats wrong with you?". He asked angrily as he smacked his hands down on the desk, looking into her eyes. "Your a business woman Dawson, so let's arrange something. You leave Axel alone, for good now bitch!".

[Ariel Charlotte Dawson]

He could call her a sick bitch, but she knew better. He was angry, spiteful and clearly didn't like knowing that she knew more about him and Axel than he ever imagined. She on the other hand, was a businesswoman at heart, but was still respectable and clearly knew a time and a place for things, unlike this man obviously. But it didn't phase her, because she did kind of like this man; apart from being a vampire and all. But who was this Eli man before he became a hybrid? He was just a regular joe, trying to break out in this big city; which would never happen because he was just a nobody. Now he was someone, and he seemed to think that allowed him to just barge in here and dictate what was going to happen around here. He may have the looks and brawns going for him, but his recklessness and sensitivity when in regards to Axel screamed otherwise. She always knew how to strike a nerve with a man, and Eli was no different.

She smirked at Eli as he spoke; not buying his bluffs at all. "Go stupid on me? I will admit, your creativity when taking it to vampires is rather amusing, but you're not exactly a big tough vampire, now are you? Your threats at punishment may be expressable if you didn't have a soul or a beating heart, but you have all of those things; and a conscious as well. So you can cut your whole ruthless act now, because its becoming quite dramatic." She continued to smirk at the other man intelligently, in many ways provoking him to actually do something, which she had all confidence that he wouldn't. Maybe this man would have been convincing and persuasive in his statements had he not had his humanity restored, but right now, it was just another story altogether.

She giggled softly at his comment about helping the brothers. "Helping them? You really are just a man with muscles, aren't you? I was helping no one but myself; they just happened to be a way to achieve that. Thanks to your playmate and his brothers, I can actually sleep at night, not having to worry about any more portal incidents occuring. And thanks to your playmate, one of our biggest ongoing and unstable threats has been eliminated. And with style." She sat back in her chair, the smirk reappearing on her face. She did enjoy when every card fell into her favour.

His sudden outburst and banging the table forcefully did startle her momentarily, causing her to place her feet back down on the floor. He actually thought his suggestion was good business, it didn't even involve any benefit for her. "So this is the thanks I get for keeping your playmate out of prison for life? And for keeping you as the only one he would go down on? You know, rough city." She smirked softly. "But I'm glad you mentioned business, because it was actually what I was hoping to offer you. You see, I have that body, but...Bodies do have a habit of 'reappearing' if you know what I mean. I'd hate that to happen to our darling Axel, but...These things can be difficult to control, at times." She did stop the sarchastic act, smirking softly at the end as she stared back at Eli intently. "What I'm suggesting to you, is a proposistion. I will do everything in my power to keep that body from surfacing, if you do something in return for me..."

[OOC: What should she he do in return? Lol, minds blank?]

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

He had one thing to say; this chick definitely stood her ground. He couldn't say anything because she shut him down, and she does definitely know her way around nagotiations, where this situation enforces the fact that Claire settled their sibling rivalry easily. Looking at the woman, he passed the wall. He was originally thinking that violence would be able to solve this, but she had her rules set. And as she was a prissy smart ass to him constantly, he was amazed at his restraint. She kept coming back to Axel, and what she could do and that any kind of trust that the brothers and most specifically Ev had with her is completely destroyed. He wanted to punch her in the face, and if he had fangs he was probably biting through his gum. She may be human, but she has to have some kind of demon in her. Or this bitch sold her soul to the devil.

But when she came up with some kind of unknown proposition, what could he do? It was either decline and leave and have Axel conflicted, or do what she wants. He wasn't one to give in and to be frank, he did hate having no power in this situation, and he had no choice. But she was purely loving it. So looking down at the desk, he smirked as he looked at her. Then, grunting, he booted the desk from under. It split in half, launching over her head and across the wall. It splat on the ground as splinters covered the floor, and he shot forwards. He was fast, and he stood in front of her with both hands at the sides of the chair, right up in her face. Looking into his eyes, he had a mixture of snide and glare in his face as he looked at her. He had made his decision and was settling with the best way out. "Ms Dawson -". He stared into her eyes, intensely and strong. He was going to do whatever it takes to protect the one he loved. " - what would you like me to do?".

OOC: I think we should do the dragon scale thing, as one of the only things that can kill a zombie. Eli won't know of her intentions, just her request.

[Ariel Charlotte Dawson]

She cocked one leg over the other on her chair as she grinned confidently towards Eli as he finally got down to some business and realized the bottom line of this entire discussion. She enjoyed it when men bent to her will; it was satisfying to see the so called 'leaders' of the world succumb to a women's desires. Even when they didn't want to, it was still fun because they were the ones in debt to her, the way it had always been for business arrangements she took part in. Eli clearly wasn't a business man, but she assumed that there was some resemblance to a brain in that handsome head of his. If only this man before her hadn't stained his toys in the fruits of another man, he might actually be more than useful to her not only in a business sense. But, beggers can't be choosers, and she wasn't the one begging in this scenario.

Eyeing the man, her grin didn't remove itself from her elequent expression. "Well, I was highly considering proposing to you to slaughter those three brothers like lambs, but I realize your far too whipped for that. So, I have another business proposistion for you. Kind of a 'I scratch your back, you risk your life to bring me something' kind of arrangement. I do hope you are interested, as it would be a shame for that body...." She cut herself off, exhaling with the grin still on her expression. She shrugged her shoulders in a sarchastic remark, before putting her feet down and reaching for some files in her top drawer. She placed them on the other side of the desk, where Eli was standing and looked up at him. "Now I'm not sure how you so called "rockstars" are with reading, but this file contains everything you will need to know about the mission at hand. You are to travel to a rather unfamiliar territory and retrieve the scale of a dragon. I am midly under the assumption that you are capable of doing this? You see, if you do indeed fail, I will have no bargaining power, and therefore will have no desire to keep that body buried. We'd hate for you to both go down like that, I believe there is a movie with a similar synopsis."

She stood up, still eyeing Eli firmly, with focus. "So, are we going to fill our good friend Axel in on this? I feel like it does involve him tremendously, it would be wrong for everything to happen without him even knowing. You might even need his help, but I did hear that his pretty much useless, anyway. Maybe not." She smiled softly, as she walked over to her door, heels clicking against the ground and opened the door. She giggled softly as she turned back to Eli. "Its funny. Me seeing you out and all, considering you saw yourself into my office in the first place." She stared at Eli, waiting for him to take his documents and leave the premise. Who knows, maybe the kid will come through with it.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

Call him ignorant. Call him a monster, gay, an idiot, he didn't care. He took the files from Ariel, and flipping through could not believe his eyes. He knew of vampires (obviously), witches, werewolves, fairies, evil power-eating demons but now dragons. And by the looks of it Harry Potter wasn't too far off. The forests of Brazil, fancy. Inside he found also four tickets to Brazil, and not the mention a large bio on dragons. Breath fire, sense danger, fly, giant; just what he though. Looking over it, he heard what she had to say; which was far too much. Looking to the woman, he just humored her as she went on. How could someone come to be like this. So vicious, so evil and so friggin' annoying. Getting off on making people's lives hell, human or not, just so she can. He had to admit, she was good at doing it. But as she basically told him to leave, without question he moved through the doorless exit and down the hall.

He couldn't tell Axel. It was too much, and to know that Eli came here to confront her would piss him off anyways. And also, Eli had to do the protective boyfriend thing. In most cases; protective boyfriend is cute boyfriend. He did what he could. And as he moved down the hall, he knew of the perfect crew to bring along. Someone to distract and sway the dragon, some muscle and a little bit of magic. He knew it was dangerous, but whatever she wanted a dragon scale for; whether it is just to be a hard task or for some real reason, he had to do it for Axel. He loved him, and accidentally killing someone couldn't change it. As he walked, he glanced over at the receptionist and her pack of security as they cautionally looked at him. He smirked as he glanced over, and decided to leave with some nice words. "Just so you know - the bitch is going to need new doors. Catchya on the flip-side". Walking out of the automated doors, he couldn't help but smile for a while, and dread for what was to come.
