Blood Ties | Ev, Xzav |

[Axel Hayden Evans]

Everette had given him a text about meeting up with him and Xzavier, as apparently there was something that happened that he needed to discuss with both of them. Axel wasnt' really sure why he was needed for this meeting, considering he wasn't exactly involved with the supernatural world, at least not yet anyway. But apparently, Everette had felt the need to tag Axel along, apparently something of importance did concern him. He wondered what it was. He knew it had something to do with the supernatural, he was sure it wasn't a 'hey how are you settling into L.A' kind of meet up and conversation. He hadn't even known his brothers for a week yet and already he was being dragged right into the supernatural world they were already apart of.

He got it, he was the third of the 'Brothers Trinity...' But that didnt' mean he had to be apart of it, did he? He had gone with not being apart of it so long, why not continue on now? And the two of them seemed to be handling it quite fine, why did they need his assistance...What could he offer to the group, anyway? Although he felt doubts about the whole arrangement, he decided to go along with the hanging out thing not because he cared about the supernatural gossip, but because it was a chance to get to know his brothers, and for them to get to know him. After all, he had been searching for his family, and although he hadn't found his parents, as a result of being dead and all, he had found his brothers, whom he never realized he had. That had to mean something for all the effort he put in, right? They were his blood, and therefore he wanted to get to know them. It would also give him the opportunity to learn more about his parents; who they were, what happened to them...Excerta excerta.

He walked into the shop titled 'Charms N' Thangs' (an uncreative name by the way), and looked up as the bell dinged as he opened the door. Closing the door behind him, he glanced around curiously, wondering what strange place he had walked into. It was like those vintage shops he happened to walk into mistakingly at times, where he felt the awkwardness and need to run away and escape before anyone saw him inside. He felt this here, especially since this had all magical items located on the shelves, which made things even weirder. Luckily he didn't exactly have a social group, otherwise he may be screwed.

He walked further in slowly, touching one of the skulls on the shelves curiously, as he glanced at it, wondering what kind of purpose it had other than being a novelty item. He held his chest softly, still feeling the pain from the previous night. It was extremely terrible timing, with Everette contacted him the night after he got into that big brawl with the vampire and Eli. He had the noticeable broise on his jaw to prove it, anyway. He wasn't going to get away with avoiding this topic so easily.

Xzavier walked into Charm 'N' Things and looked around. Now where was Axel? He hadn't seen the kid since they had rescued him from Selena's house. Man that was one messed up chick, he thought, shaking his head in disbelief. Things had certainly gotten crazier ever since he and Everette had found out about their heritage and had embraced their powers. Though he had learned about his youngest brother, he hadn't been expecting to have to pull off a rescue. Not that it hadn't been fun, but...he generally liked to get to know someone before having to barge in like Harry Callaghan. Then, he noticed the boy and walked up.
"Hey," he greeted.

[Everette Jason Evans]

It was going to die. Ev was going to get a big axe, and chop it's friggin head off. He didn't know what it was. Was it birdy PMS? A mood swing? Or just being a pure hot head. He stood by the door towards the back, it shut tight so it didn't escape. Just three feathers, that's all he needed. Three! A burst of fire hit the wall as it fitted. Yes guys, Ev was trying to pluck feather's off of his phoenix. Well, it wasn't really his, it was the managers. It was the easiest way to get Phoenix supplies since they are so expensive. So they kept it in the basement, which lead to sewer tunnels and to the ocean so it could fly for a bit. They called it Chicken Wing, and got feathers and Phoenix eggs off of it. But right now, CW was pretty pissed off. Ev stood with a spray bottle, trying to calm him down.

''Hey, Listen here bud! All I want are three feathers, okay. Just calm down and -''. A spray of ash went towards him. Luckily, he was used to CW's bursts of ash. Moving, it scattered on the door. Ev turned back to the bird, giving it a dirty look. What an irrational bird it was. Spraying it again, it sqwarked. The giant bird growled at him, but then turned and fluttered to the basement. Stupid creature!

Walking back into the store, he saw Axel. He had called both of them to come and see him since shop was closed. But he couldn't be to careful. Whatever demon had come for him had tried to kill him was persistent at it, so he needed to brief them. On the counter, a book laid open which had the species Ev had ID'd. It was new and worrying and one thing was for sure; Selena wasn't the only evil they had to worry about attacking them. ''Axel. Hey, how you going bud?''. He gave him a smile, putting the bottle on the counter and turning back to face him. And god, didn't he look like Xzavier. Speaking of, he saw his big bro walk in after him, and Ev walked on over behind the counter, looking at the both of them. ''Yeah, I was kind of nearly killed yesturday''. What an amazing way to break the ice.

[Axel Hayden Evans]

He must have been too transfixed on the skull on something, because before he knew it, a man was apparently greeting him. He jumped softly, as he turned to see Xzavier, his oldest brother in front of him. He smiled softly, a bit akwardly. "Hey." He didn't really know what else he could possibly say. He wasn't exactly that familiar with his brothers- heck, he didn't really know them at all. He didn't know their personalities, their likes, dislikes, wishes, fears, weaknesses...He didn't know anything. Therefore it made it rather difficult to really engage in a conversation with them. They were his brothers, but he couldn't exactly just be himself that easily could he? Did he treat them just like a random that he meets and talks to, or something? He wasn't sure. He guessed he could always try, at least.

He looked over as Everette approached them. At least he wasn't too out of it to notice Everette coming this time. He smiled once again, "five by five I spose...Yourself? What made this even more awkward was that these two knew eachother...Like grew up with eachother, know everything about eachother. Had those childhood fights, etc which helped them bond. He didn't have any of that with them. Which made things really weird- he was an outsider. It was like meeting those two people who are already good friends and have their inside jokes and know what to say around eachother, while he sat on the outside trying to understand. It was a huge adjustment, he just hoped he was able to pull it off.

Soon Everette started off the conversation saying that he was nearly killed last night. His mouth widened for a moment. It was perhaps a big thing for him to hear that, but for Xzavier and Everette, it could be normal for things like that to happen all the time, he wasn't sure though. He sighed softly. "Well...There goes what I had to say..." He added as he looked around curiously at the room again. Was there really a need to be nearly killed every night for them? He felt bad talking about his experience, mainly because it was one vampire. He was almost certain Everette's near-death experience would involve some kind of powerful ancient demon, or a fire-breathing dragon or some shit like that.

[huntsgirl]

After greeting Axel, Xzavier shifted on his feet, unsure of what to say. He looks as nervous as I feel, he thought to himself, looking at Axel. Before he could think of something, Everette came up and asked Axel how he was.
"Five by five I sposed...." the boy responded. Xzavier smiled briefly. "Well...There goes what I had to say..."
"Yeah, I'm not quite sure what to say either," he told him. "I mean, for years, I thought.... he trailed off. There was no need to confuse or upset the kid any more than he probably already was. Xzavier blew out a breath and ran his fingers through his hair, trying to figure out what to say.

[Everette Jason Evans]

Apart from the dressing style, it was like Xzav was standing next to a mirror. It was kind of eery, and Ev tried not to stare. He had grown up with Xzavier, he was used to the smooth looks and rebel style he had. Axel wasn't like that, but still the resemblance was uncanny. Looking from the both, he looked down at the book in front of them and at the creature that attacked him. It was now probably time for one of the other's to get attacked. And if neither of the brother's were there to help, they had to know what they were up against. If they kept there head, they would survive. If it wasn't for magic, Ev would probably be dead right now. They had to brainstorm it, so with them both there he decided to get down to business.

''It was -''. His brain locked on to what Axel said. He was attacked? It wasn't unexpected but he was untrained and probably unknowing of his powers. If it wasn't for the journal they found, he probably wouldn't be able to know what Xzavier and Ev's powers were. But Axel was new to this. It was worrying, and at him with a slow and worrying gaze, it was time for the big brother freakout session to start. ''You were attacked? When? Who was it?''. His thoughts completely swung from the book to Axel, looking for any visible scarring or wounds. He was pissed now, and knew Xzavier would do the macho freak out while Ev attempted to be level headed about all of this. Looking to Xzavier, he was now really concerned and well, freaked out.

With a look to the front door, it locked as Ev concentrated quickly. He couldn't have anyone coming in right now. ''Lock!'' The door was locked, and Ev scooted around the counter. moving quickly, he looked at Axel. His second attack on his life, and he seemed to have lived through it. Solo in point of fact. It was impressive in a way, and now the underworld knew that Axel was the third to the Brother's Trinity. ''Are you sure your okay??''. Looking to Xzavier, he knew they had to keep Axel protected no matter what. Who said that finding a long lost brother in a war between good and evil was going to be easy?

[Axel Hayden Evans]

It seemed like Everette was going to explain what happened to him, but upon realizing what Axel had said, he had paused before finishing his first word. He saw Everette's face, obviously surprised and shocked at what Axel had said. He then glanced over to Xzavier who also didn't finish his sentence. But this time, Axel knew what Xzavier was getting at, well sort of. He knew it was about him, but he couldn't exactly identify specifically what it was about. "You thought what? He asked curiously as he glanced at his oldest brother. He didnt' know what he was trying to get at, and really was curious to know what he was going to say before he cut himself off. There was so much he didn't know about his family, his powers, the supernatural, and even him to an extent. He needed answers. Maybe Xzavier had some.

He then looked at Everette as he seemed to worry when Axel mentioned he was attacked. He asked so many questions, questions which Axel wasn't sure he had the answers to. "Yeah, last night actually. A vampire, pretty strong if I say so myself too...Obviously knew who I was, luckily I had El-" He cut himself off, pausing for a moment. "Luckily I managed to escape. And anyway, what is with everyone knowing who I am like this is some kind of supernatural big brother? Its kinda freaky..." He sighed softly. He hated being a target, it was rather difficult. He just wanted to be normal again; normal where he wasn't recognized by all these supernatural creatures and such. It had worked out fine before, to a certain extent, why couldn't it continue on like that now? Why did destiny have to be such a bitch at times?

He smiled softly as Everette asked if he was okay. "Sure, a little brouised but I think I'll manage. After all, I seemed to have inherited that cool super healing thing, which is a plus." He was relieved to know when he woke up this morning there was a lot less pain and damage sustained; otherwise he probably would have ignored his phone all together and just slept through it all. "I'm fine, really. Its nothing, theres no need to worry. Just supply me with something more decent than a piece of wood next time; not exactly the easiest thing to use against a raging vampire."

[Everette Jason Evans]

Atleast he seemed okay physically. But even Ev knew what it was like to get attacked by vamps when a newcomer. The exhiliration, the worry and the impact. The fact that things won't be the same. But now, it was almost natural doing what they do. That's sad right? But Axel assured them it was okay, that he was okay. Ev had to trust him on that since he was now engaged in this crazy wacky world of sacrifice, death and kicking ass. ''Stakes can be your best friend but - We have powers dude. You just have to learn how to control them. Like me, I couldn't get angry without lighting things on fire, and dreams basically killed me. But now, call me Potter. But you really should have seen it when the Hulk here broke everything he touched. Classic''. He looked to Xzavier and smirked as he grabbed the book on the desk.

''Now guys, this is what I wanted to talk about. Yesturday I was attacked by a - incubus. It's kind of like a dude demon that feeds off of people's life-force. Some call it chi, other's call it sexual energy. Basically, this guy - don't laugh - kissed me yesturday and tried to drain me but luckily I kicked his ass''. That was the easy part, and the hard part was coming next. Ev had a heart, a conscience and a nagging one at that. He couldn't kill something he felt bad for. The guy was looking for his mother, so Ev teleported him home. That's all. But Xzavier would definitely kick his ass for that.

[huntsgirl]

''Now guys, this is what I wanted to talk about. Yesturday I was attacked by a - incubus. It's kind of like a dude demon that feeds off of people's life-force. Some call it chi, other's call it sexual energy. Basically, this guy - don't laugh - kissed me yesturday and tried to drain me but luckily I kicked his ass''[/b] Xzavier turned to Everette.
"What? Why didn't you tell me this before?"he demanded. I can't believe he didn't tell me! he thought. Had Everette completely lost it? He had just admitted to letting a supernatural creature go free. "Dude, if you notice a new evil in town, you destroy it, not just kick its butt! What if it goes after someone else? Huh? he demanded. What was he thinking? Was he even thinking. "Did you notice any weaknesses it may have had? Anything that we could use to kill it?" he questioned brusquely.

[Axel Hayden Evans]

He listened as Everette explained how they had powers, and what he could do and what Xzavier could do...That was awesome and all, but he still didn't understand what he could do? "Learn how to control what? You can do whatever you want basically with just a simple incantation...Xzavier, you can beat up anything you want without even breaking a sweat. What can I do? All I've managed to do is get kidnapped, attacked by vampires and nearly killed, multiple times might I add, and I've only been in this town for a few weeks! Can you tell me what exactly I can do that compares to the amazing powers you two have? I don't get it...Why I became involved in all of this. You two seemed to be doing perfectly fine without me with all this supernatural fighting stuff. Why? Because you guys are the ones with the kickass powers..." He sighed softly, standing back a bit. Maybe he was going off at them wrongly, as it wasn't their faults, but it was just the frustrations he was feeling. He just felt powerless.

Even moreso when Everette had mentioned about how Axel should've been there when Xzavier broke things. He wasn't there, he didnt' even know he had brothers back then, therefore he missed all of these memories and bonding experiences with his brothers. They were strangers, what else could be said? He was just thrown into this with some destiny and purpose, and then what? He didn't have any answers on that burning question.

He did agree with Xzavier's view in killing the evil. He had learned quickly that things will just keep coming back after you if they aren't killed, and although the idea of killing things freaked him out, if it was evil, that was it, right? He sighed again, this time softly. Everette was kicking the ass of this unknown soul-sucking demon, while Axel was struggling to even fight off a simple vampire. What gives?

[Everette Jason Evans]

Axel wasn't useless. ''Well by prophesy, you have some kind of enhanced senses and reflexes stuff. Think of Spiderman, it will just take some control buddy. But apparently together, we are supposed to be more powerful. Therefore how we survived Selena, dude''. Patting him on the shoulder, he smiled as he turned back as the sun was going down. Waving his hand over a group of candles, they sparked to life. Just so they can see - stuff as Ev told them what happened.

Understandably, Xzavier was not happy. Ev looked away as he went off at him, looking away from him and down at the book. The Incubus; a sexually-thriving demon who feeds off the life-force during passionate acts. Basically evil, but Ev didn't feel that from the guy. ''Um, because your an abnoxious douche. And it's not like that. It didn't feel that he wanted to do this, it was like he had no choice. He told me he just wants to find his mother, so I am thinking that he is being driven to this''. This was his attempt of reasoning. Xzavier had a stubborn 'Demon bad, kill demon'. But that didn't seem to apply for this situation. It was different, he just wished Xzavier would see it.

''Look, I don't think he will attack anyone else. Maybe us but now we know what he is we can protect ourselves. Killing others doesn't help him, and this book says that Incubus are neutral. They feed off chi but don't kill people, or they can shag and murder anyone. He wasn't evil, guys''. From behind him, he could hear Chicken Wing going nuts in the basement. Rubbing his head, he looked to Xzavier. ''Xzav, can you go lock CW up. He keeps going nuts''. And this gave him time to talk to Axel.

[huntsgirl]

"Um, because you're an obnoxious douche. And it's not like that. It didn't feel that he wanted to do this, it was like he had no choice. He told me that he just wants to find his mother, so I am thinking that he is being driven to this." Xzavier stared at his brother in shock. What the heck? What is he thinking!? he thought to himself.
"Everette! It's an evil supernatural! It has to die!" he snapped. What had the freak done to his brother?
"Look, I don't think he will attack anyone else. Maybe us but now we know what he is we can protect ourselves. Killing others doesn't help him, and this book says that Incubus are neutral. They feed off chi but don't kill people, or they can shag and murder anyone. He wasn't evil guys." Xzavier opened his mouth to respond, but a loud squaking cut him off. Oh, great. Now his bird's actin' up, he thought to himself, rolling his eyes. "Xzav, can you go lock CW up? He keeps going nuts."
"Yeah, sure," Xzavier agreed and went down to the basement.

[Axel Hayden Evans]

Spiderman, really? What was this, a modifcation of justice league or something? "Yeah sorry to disappoint, but I won't be shooting sticky webs from my finger tips or scaling walls. There goes that cool power..." Heh, a power like spiderman's could've actually been pretty awesome, too bad he didn't get the good parts of it. Maybe Ev was right though, it would just take practice, which maybe his brothers could help him out with. All he had to do was learn to control his sensing, right? Could be helpful in some situations, he supposed. Nothing a little experimentation can't assist with.

He raised an eyebrow at Xzavier's outburst. He seemed rather close-minded on the supernatural, he didn't seem to see any grey. He supposed he had inherited that from Xzavier, as he was basically the same in many ways. Well, he could see both sides of the spectrum. If it was trying to kill them, it had to be stopped, right? It wasn't like they could just chuck them in a supernatural jail or something, would make no sense whatsoever. It wasnt' like some standard criminal that could be locked away, this was involving supernatural powers and the potential to do more harm than a casual murderer. Was there justification in killing someone like that, or did they have to abide the law? From what he understood, demons didn't just diminish into dust and cover their asses from a crime scene.

He eyed Xzavier as he went to check on "chickenwing", whoever that was, who was in the basement. Whoever it was, it was extremely loud. What did they need with a pet bird? "Chickenwing? So, most people have a pet cat or dog. Does being a vampire hunter mean you have to get a pet bird? Cause I'm not a real bird fan, myself. Too noisy," He stated as he smiled softly. He begun thinking of Xzavier, again. "Does he always go off like that?" He questioned. Seemed like Xzavier had a short temper, he really didn't know why though.

[Everette Jason Evans]

He gave Axel a smile. He didn't understand too much but in time, he would. The main issue Ev was having was that Xzavier was going off. He went didn't like what Ev had done at all, and on a level he could understand what his point was. But he believed in what he did, and wasn't regretting just yet. When he snapped on this 'supernatural = bad' state of mind, Ev rolled his eyes but luckily he went out back to Chicken Wing. Ev scratched his head, trying to ignore Xzavier's words in his head. He didn't understand; he was too hard hearted to. He closed the book and then sighed and looked away as he heard Axel's question. It made him smirk.

''No, not just a bird. A phoenix. Kind of a mystical fire bird, I keep it as a pet. I actually use it for some ingredients that are usually hard to get your hands on. But yeah, he's a cool bird''. He then heard a loud burst of fire from out back and gave a peculiar expression. He went to speak, but smirked instead. Having a phoenix? If it was anyone else, he would have thought he was nuts himself.

Axel asked about Xzavier, and Ev, leaning on the counter answered. ''Well, no. He can be a really cool guy, the big brother you need. But when it comes to reasoning it is almost impossible, as you could see in Exhibit A. But - you'll learn that soon enough''. He smiled and then turned around and walked towards the back of the store, willing to offer some magical help to Xzavier if he needed it. The fire and claws can really be tricky.
