Stephanie couldn't help herself and kissed Talon once she was in his arms. She never wanted to stop and he didn't want her to either. They both forgot that they aren't in private until Stephanie hears a few giggles from some of the females that are there. Then she reluctantly pulls back. She never notices the glares some of the females are sending her way.

Stephanie doesn't see them, but Jet and Ethan do and once Talon is able to pull his eyes off of Stephanie he does too. He and the other boys narrow their eyes at those that are sending dagger looks her way. 

Jet and Ethan go over to the other two and welcome him back as well. Jet lets Talon know that Stephanie had been very worried about him while he was gone. Then not using the link he gets Talon up to date on Cassie and her situation.

Tracey is very interested in hearing that and so listens in without shame to that part of their talk.

"So how did things go at the hell lab?" Stephanie demands, more than a little irritated that the others are talking about what she already knows and not what she was most interested in. She is already anxiously looking over Talon to make sure that he wasn't hurt.

Talon looks down at her and smiles. "I'm fine, Stephanie. I wasn't even hurt. The other supernaturals did most of the work. I pretty much just did the erasing of the lab from the face of the earth." Talon gets a decidedly dark and vicious look when he says this.

Stephanie looks at him and narrows her eyes, "What happened? And Talon, don't brush me off. I want you to tell me the truth."

"He didn't do anything other than erase the existence of the lab. It's what I did, that he doesn't want you to know." Tracey interjects before Stephanie can say anything. Tracey wonders just how smart that was when she turns her gimlet stare onto him and looks at him like she wants to dissect him.

"What did you do that he doesn't want to tell me?" Stephanie repeats and waits for Tracey to answer with her arms crossed and foot tapping showing her impatience. Her eyes narrow even further and Tracey swallows remembering Talon's words earlier.

"The girl, Cassie, I believe is the name you said she chose?" Tracey waits for Stephanie to nod her head impatiently before continuing. "Well, her parents decided to come to work today. I had them treated like they treated their daughter. That is until it was time to go. Then I had all the supernaturals that were helping out leave and the parents were still living when Talon finished erasing the facility."

Stephanie fights the smile that wants to take place on her face as she once more turns her attention to Talon, "Just how did you erase the facility from the earth?"

Talon tries to look as innocent as he can as he replies to Stephanie's demand. "There was a reservoir of water not too far below the basement of the facility. I had the earth open up and swallow the facility as the water came to take it's place on the surface of the earth. Then I had plants grow up around the new lake. It is quite deep actually, more than sixty feet I do believe. And very cold. It is unlikely that the dead bodies will rise any time soon." With that Talon allows the smirk come onto his face that he was fighting before.

Stephanie is downright thrilled with how Cassie's family was dealt with. "Lovely. Perfect guys. But why would you want to hide this from me?"

Tracey looks at Stephanie in shock. "I thought you would be upset with them being alive as they are drowned in the building and of course the punishment they went through before hand as well."

Stephanie snorts, "Not likely. I sent my own family to jail. If you don't believe me, ask them."

Tracey looks at the three witches at Stephanie's side and they nod solemnly at her words. 

He looks at her with confusion, "Your family hurt you?"

"Her family ignored her, more or less up until the last day. That's when all hell broke lose when she got tired of the shit." Jet tells the confused vampire.

"Family story time will be for later." Stephanie says as she rolls her eyes at them all.

"We brought back a prisoner. A male witch that got off the shuttle with the other guards. He was dressed as a guard, we couldn't detect any of the nasty compounds in him." Talon tells her before they turn to leave.

Stephanie turns back to face Talon and Tracey. "What?" Her tone is cold and makes all within hearing shiver.

"He was new, I have never smelled him there before. We brought him back so that we could interrogate him before he is killed. Talon promised him to me, if he is indeed betraying the supernaturals."

"Is there any doubt?" Stephanie demands.

"You are the one that insisted that I hear Bianca's story before judging her. I admit, it will be difficult to find any story that would exonerate him, but it is only right that we hear what he has to say first." Talon doesn't dare touch Stephanie just yet. There are little sparks flicking off her hair as she struggles to control her anger.

"Fine," Stephanie grits out before talking to Luke through the mind link, asking him if there is a place they can put a witch prisoner.

Stephanie looks at the men around her. She smiles nastily, "Well, Tracey, they don't have a witch proof cell, so I guess you'll have to drink enough from him to make sure that he doesn't have the strength to use his powers against us."

Tracey smiles delightedly at her words. Shortly two wolves bring the witch over to the five.

"What's your name?" Talon demands of the witch.

"What's it to you?" The witch replies angry and more than a little pissy.

Talon just looks on amused by this show of attitude. "To me? Not much, I have ways of getting the information I want. I was giving you a courtesy, but with your attitude I'm not so sure that you deserve any."

The witch sneers, "Just who are you to demand any information from me?"

Talon just gets this nasty little smile on his face. "My name is Talon Defoe. You might have heard of me? After all I am on the governing board of witches."

The unknown witch's face turns even more pale and his arrogant look turns to one of out right fear. 

Stephanie notes this and wonders just why the other witch would turn like that.

So does Tracey. That would denote that Talon is not just someone of note, but some one to fear as well. The bet is, if Talon is someone to fear then the others will be as well. Tracey smiles to himself at this information.

"Now, let's try this one more time, shall we?" Talon says in a conversational tone, but he's no longer relaxed as he talks. "What the fuck is your name and rank?"

"Gibbs, Steven, I am a rank seven warlock war division." All there except Stephanie stare at the warlock. "I was sent by the board to infiltrate and destroy the lab."

"What about the supernaturals inside? What were your orders in regards to them?" Stephanie demands.

"They were considered lost already. There is no way to save them from the compounds and chemicals that are pumped into their bodies.

"The board had heard that a new witch, an elementalist of extreme power had been captured by the humans. She couldn't be allowed to survive and be turned against us or used to have children of such power either."

"Then it's a damn good thing that I allowed them to capture me and I was able to get all the supernaturals out before you showed up isn't it?" Stephanie says and there is no doubt that she is angry since there is now mini lightning bolts zinging off her hair. Her eyes are lit up like they are themselves lights and flames are lit on the tips of her fingers.

The warlock, Steven gulps as he realizes that he is speaking to the powerful elementalist.

"How did the board find out about her?" Jet asks the question that they are all thinking.

"They want me dead, do they?" Stephanie says as she smiles and it makes even Tracey back up from her. Steven trips over his feet and falls down and scoots back from her.

"How did they find out about her?" Talon demands of the now terrified witch before him; of all the witches before him, forget about the vampire that looks like he's a mouse and the vampire is the cat that is very hungry.

"I don't know how they found out about her. I think there was a snitch on the inside, but I wasn't told anything about anyone. I was just given my orders and told to get it done soonest. This was the earliest I was able to infiltrate the lab."

"Those damn board members." Stephanie's voice is cold and deadly. "They were willing to kill more than two hundred supernatural prisoners without trying to save any of them."

"It has been tried before and there is no cleansing of the compounds without killing the subject." The warlock says now terrified of the female witch.

Stephanie snorts her derision. "I found a way the first time I met one of the compromised supernaturals. I freed her and the alpha of this pack. I freed and showed the other elementalists in the lab how to do it. All those supernaturals are now here, free of the damn chemicals that have chained them since the first injection."

"That's not possible," Steven reiterates stating what the board had been telling the witching communities since this first became a problem.

"All you have to do is set a low burning flame through the blood to cleanse it and all the chemicals that the body has absorbed. It isn't a fun or easy cleansing, but it is possible. Now there are more than two hundred supernaturals that are freed from captivity and the ones responsible are destroyed."

Steven looks at her in disbelief.

"She freed myself and my people, she freed herself and Talon, Ethan, and Jet besides the alpha." Tracey says smirking at the disbelief the warlock is showing to them all.

"If it was so easy then why did the board lie to me? To our people?"

Stephanie smiles rather nastily, "Now, that, Steven, is a very good question. One I think that they should answer for themselves, don't you? Unfortunately since I don't trust you, you will have to stay in the cell the alpha has prepared."

"You will need to give up your blood voluntarily so that Tracey, you know the king of the vampires, the board was more than willing to kill, doesn't take too much blood in an effort to get you under control." Talon is more than a little pleased in giving the warlock this information.

The warlock turns his eyes back to the man that is at his side. His eyes are wide open and are terrified. "The vampire king?"

"Yes, and I have to say that Stephanie here, did a lovely job of freeing me and my people. She cared more about the supernaturals than her own life. I think that is what your board is most afraid of. You might want to think long and hard about where your loyalties lie." Tracey says before taking the proffered wrist and drinking from it.

"We will talk more later. Now I'm exhausted and need to spend some time with my chosen." Talon tells the terrified warlock that just became even more terrified with those words. He mouths chosen even as he faints due to the shocks he'd been given and the blood loss from Tracey drinking from him.

"Take him to his cell. Make sure that he has sufficient blankets and food and drink for when he wakes up. Wouldn't want him to die from shock."

"Of course, Talon." Tracey says quite happily. This warlock's blood didn't have the power kick that Stephanie's does but it does have a lovely extra something. Tracey has to be careful to not take too much. Stephanie and Talon hadn't okayed the death yet.
