"Adam Kent," Juliette said, then she shook her head. "No. It should be Adam Anderson, because you are no better than your father!"

Adam stumbled over his own feet as he made his way towards her. "Whaaat did yoouu just say to meee?" He slurred his words.

Juliete only stood up taller. I won't be the girl I was before. "I said. You are no better than your father."

"Hehhh?" He sauntered over with his breath that reeked of alcohol getting right into her face, "Hooowww daareee youu," he said with the small amount of anger he could actually convey.

Before she could properly realize it through the anger she was trying to ignore, Adam hurled an empty glass bottle at James, who was still trembling in the corner. Just in time, she jumped backwards and reached out a hand to catch it. A fingertip grazed it and the bottle shattered into a million tiny pieces. "JAMES!" she shouted in horror. She jumped in front of the shards coming his way. They all bounced right off before they could hit her.

"Ow!" James said, holding his hand.

"James!" she turned his attention to him. "I'm sorry, did any of them touch you?"

"No," James shook his head, shaking his hand a little. "I accidentally touched you."

Juliette realized suddenly how worked up she was. She immediately took in a deep breath and shut off her defensive field. She stepped forward in case James might move. "No," she turned to face Adam, replying to his last statement. "How dare you. You would throw that at your brother?"

"Hehhh?" Adam laughed haughtily. "James will just get betterr anywayyyy," he scoffed. "I had to heeaalll allll by myselff. He has that stupiid powerr to protect hiiiiim."

"That shouldn't make a difference!" Juliette snarled. "I remember when you told me about your past. I thought you were so pitiful, a young, innocent boy, being abused by his drunk father. But anyone who saw this," her hand shook a little, "No one who saw this would ever believe that!"

Outside, everyone was starting to sense trouble.

"What's going on?!" Kenji ran over, panting. He stopped when he saw Warner standing in the hallway nearby. "What's with the loud crashes?!"

The others followed close by. "What happened?" They all asked frantically.

"Oh you know," Warner said calmly, almost humorously, still leaning against the wall. "Kent is just going insane again. It's alright, Juliette can support herself."

"What do you mean he's just going insane again!" Pushing Warner out of the way, Kenji went around the corner and burst through the gaping hole Juliette had made in the steel door. "KENT?!" he growled.

Adam's vision had blurred and he stumbled around the broken bottles, trying to identify the echoing voice in his head. "Heyyy isss that Keenjiii? Heyyyy howw ya doiiinnng."

Kenji fumed. You could see clearly how tightly his teeth and hands were clenched together. His eyes scanned the room and all the damage. "J what are you doing?"

She sucked in a breath. "Kenji, we're leaving. Come on James," she held out a hand. He hesitated with a tiny wince and she flinched. "I'm sorry," she apologized. "It's safe to touch me now. I'll put on my gloves if you'd like."

"No," he shook his head. "I trust you." Using her hand as support, he stood up and walked with them out of the room as he stole one look back at Adam, who had finally collapsed on the floor, completely intoxicated.

"Aaron," Juliette said to Warner, "Could you have someone replace the door?"

Despite the situation, he smiled. "Already on it."

"Shhhhhh, Shhhhhh," Sonya whispered as Sarah ran a comforting hand along his back. "Shhhhhh, it's ok, it's ok, just keep crying. Shhhhhhhhhhhh."

"I'm surprised he managed to hold back all this time," Kenji said, scratching his head. "I would've exploded right then and there."

"Shut up for a bit, could you?" Juliette scolded. "Let him have a good cry first and we'll ask him about it later."

"I'm ok," James sniffed, standing up from the couch.

"Oh no you don't," Sonya and Sarah said, pulling him back down. "Comes on, rest up."

Unable to resist for any longer, Kenji finally stopped pacing around the room and stood in front of James. Looking straight down at him he asked, "How long? And don't play dumb with me here."

James had no choice but to answer. "Basically since we killed Anderson," he said quietly.

"And you never told us?!" Kenji said angrily.

"I-I thought it'd g-get better," he started to cry again.

"Kenji!" Juliette scolded. "Be a little more gentle."

"How about you lover-boy, hah?"

"...Lover-boy? Do you mean me?" Warner asked emotionlessly.

"Yeah you," Kenji said, starting to pace around the room again. "Who else? Did you see anything? Or your guards at least? I thought you had those cameras hidden everywhere."

"I haven't checked the cameras recently. I've been helping Juliet confirm her new position. We've been quite busy," he replied smoothly. "I've disabled the cameras in your rooms either way, because you requested 'privacy.'" He mimicked Kenji from some time ago. "Love, we really should get going," he said to Juliette.

"No," she narrowed her eyes. "I'm going to sort out this situation first."

"Oh, you always let your emotions take control over you," Warner chuckled, turning to walk out of the room. "But that's what I love about you," he whispered in her ear. "I'll tell your soldiers that due to some 'internal conflicts' that you will be late," he called out with his dry humor.

"So James, what do you want us to do with Mr. Kent?" Castle said.

"Oh there are many, many things I'd like to do with him right now," Juliette said angrily.

"I think that came out wrong," Kenji snickered and swerved out of the way so Juliette's punch would land on his arm and not his face. "Hey hey, sorry, keep going. Don't mind me."

James couldn't really reply. "I don't know," he said simply. "Fix him?"

"Oh he's waaayyyy beyond repair," Kenji said. "Sorry," he raised his hands when Juliette gave him a death glare. "But seriously. He's messed up. We can lock him up or something."

"But will he get hurt?"

"Oh James," Kenji said, shaking his head. "Sweet, innocent James. He's going to be in a jail room or something."

"No," Juliette said, raising her arm in front of Kenji for a moment. "We'll do what James decides when he comes up with a decision. She pressed a few buttons on a panel in the training room and turned to the others. "For now, Adam is going to stay in his room. I already had a new door put in place. We'll put two guards in front and hopefully he won't blast their heads out."

"Make sure they have helmets for those glass bottles," Kenji laughed.

"I did that already," Juliette said humorlessly, and he stopped laughing. "For now," she sighed, "Aaron is right that I'm very late. I'll see you all later."

"In other words, I'll need you to-" Juliette stopped as she realized her soldiers weren't looking at her, but to her side. She turned slowly. "Aaron, what's wrong?"

He stepped forward calmly, but it was as if he was trying to send her a message with his eyes. "Adam!" Juliette yelled, and a wave of whispering went through the crowd. "Quiet, please," she stated quickly, as calmly as possible. "Adam," she walked over. "You need to leave."

He shook his head. Juliette looked down.

There was blood on his fingertips.

"Aaron," Juliette whispered quietly. "Send two soldiers to check up on the security guards that were in front of Adam please. And tell them to take them to Sonya and Sarah or James."

He looked down and Adam's hands. "Of course."

Juliette turned to Kenji and Castle. "Could I ask you two to get Adam into one of the cleaner prison cells for now?"

"Prison cells?" Castle widened his eyes.

"Even if you say 'cleaner', that doesn't make it much better," Kenji said.

"I need him confined in there right now!" she hissed.

"Yes your majesty," he rolled his eyes and the two of them grabbed Adam. "Come on, Kent. Be a big boy," Kenji said, gritting his teeth and dragging him across the floor.

The door slammed shut. "I apologize for the interruption," she stated. "I believe I was addressing the malfunctions with the new weapons."

Warner slipped through the opening of the door, trying not to attract attention. "He's been confined," he whispered as he walked past her nonchalantly.

She gave him a nod of thanks.
