Author: Ah, indeed he is, and don't you worry, the beatings shall come soon enough, and Charles will really get his! And yes, Lex will be the one beating the c'jit out of him heheh. and you're very welcome, friend! I try my best to please~!

"I wish I had my spear... I just had to leave it at home..." Lex mumbled miserably. "I should have put it in my purse. After this day, I'm carrying it around with me at all times."

Brian entered the room again, looking out of breath. He had told Lex to wait in the room while he went to go get her something that would allow her access into any room in the facility. Of course, he had to quickly swipe it before anyone was the wiser.

"Here... This'll help you out.. This is all I can do, I'm sorry." Brian spoke, handing her a small keycard. "It'll get you almost anywhere. Just be safe with it. I'm going to be leaving, I have to get home..."

"Brian." Lex grabbed his arm after taking the key-card. She frowned, reaching into her pocket as she took out the keys to her apartment. "...Uhm... Since I'm going to be leaving with Scar... Can you take care of my cat, Marco? I'm sure he'd love you..." she looked down at the keys before holding them out to him. "It'd mean a lot."

Brian stared at the keys for a few moments before he took them, his hand lingering on hers gingerly before falling to his side. He was staring at the ground, looking a bit sad. "...I guess this is goodbye, then?" he asked, looking at her. "Honestly, I didn't exactly see this happening... I mean, I guess I sort of did, but... you know. Anyway... Good luck, Lex. Maybe we'll see each other again if you decide to visit Earth with Scar or something."

"Maybe. Can't make any promises..." Lex shrugged, looking away from Brian as she walked past him. "... Thanks though, for everything. Now, if you'll excuse me... I've got some asses that need to be kicked." she growled out, walking out of the room, making sure to check first before stalking silently out of it. She had left Brian alone, even though she knew he could handle himself well enough, it was still hard to do, yet she did it without looking back.

The more she thought about it, It almost felt exactly like she was back at that damn Pyramid, the quietness of the halls, the loneliness that began to creep up on her, the only difference was it was brightly lit and the halls weren't as wide and filled with engravings and things she could easily use as a weapon, and there weren't those weird aliens that weren't like Scar crawling around all over the place, only, you know, men with guns probably patrolling the corners of the place. They'd be easy to avoid if she was quick enough, what with there being random doors every now and then, leading god knows where. She should pop into one, see if there was anything she could use to defend herself with. Or if there was anything in them at all, but who would need that many damn rooms in a place like this? This place was in the middle of nowhere, what the hell were they even doing in a place like this?

Her curiosity eventually got a hold of her, and she slowly began to lean towards the doors. She stopped in-front of one and stared at it, unsure of what she would find behind it. She reached for the handle, taking a deep breath in before she opened it as quickly as she could. Lex stared at the room. What luck, she had wandered into some sort of camera room. There were a few screens set up, only three out of the seven working. She walked in, closing the door behind her, just in-case, before wandering over. She looked at them, examining what was going on in each individual one. In one of them, there was just a group of men talking, they were dressed up like scientists, what they were saying she didn't know. The second shown an empty room, nothing too interesting, and the last showed the same as the second, only at a different angle.

There really wasn't anything exciting going on. And thus she decided to leave. And just as she walked towards the door, she stopped, hearing voices and the sound of boots approaching. She waited, hand on the doorknob. The voices soon passed, and the gentle thud of the boots began to vanish. Lex waited till she heard nothing before she left, beginning to walk faster down the hallway.

She turned a corner, once again checking to see if anyone was wandering about. On the left side of the hall, there was a lone door with two windows on each side of it, and on the right was another series of doors and yet another turn. How could anyone tell their way around here? It was so confusing and bland. She took a deep breath in, making her way towards the door. A form suddenly walked by the window, and the door began to open. She froze up. Her mind told her body to move, to run away, but she was glued to the spot. Lex cursed herself for not turning to at least try to hide behind a wall or in a close by room.

The face she saw was not welcoming in the least bit.

"Oh! Miss Woods!" Charles smiled, opening the door wider. "We were just talking about you!"

"I have a bone to pick with you." she barked at him, her hands turning into fists as she glared at him, thinking of how she wanted to punch in his damn teeth. "I want you to release Scar, right now, before I beat the living hell out of you. You know the saying; Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned..."

"Ah, yes, yes, I know... Lex, dear, would you like to come and see your Boyfriend? He's awake and well, trust me." he gestured with his head to the door, or what lay past it. "Just follow me. I'll show you. Then you can decide if you want to kick my ass still."

"I'm sure my feelings won't change. And you know Scar wants to rip you apart too, I'm surprised you're not already, actually..." Lex narrowed her eyes at him, feeling weary about this. What was he up to anyway? There was something going on here, and she really, really didn't like it.

"Do you want to see him or not?" Charles backed up, going back into the room he had just emerged from, looking to just be waiting for her to join him. "He's just a little bit down the hall. Come on, lets go see him! I know you want to, don't deny that you do." he tempted.

"Of course I do. But, I want to see him unhurt and not tied up like a beast or some sort of animal." Lex snapped. She really wanted to punch him, his damn face was making her angry, every little thing he did made her want to kick his ass as hard as she could. However, she had to see if he was telling the truth about Scar. He had to be okay, from the way he made it sound. "If I find out that you're lying, you son of a bitch, you're in for it..."

"So, you're going to come and see Scar?" Charles grinned.

"...Lead the way..." Lex said, reluctantly.
