Chaos sighs, hidden away in another club. For the god of all creation, his luck was shit. He quickly rolls across the floor, hopping to his feet as the angry mob comes charging at him across the room, dashing out the back door. Another day, another mob. He really needed to check to see if these girls were taken or not, especially when they happen to be the girlfriends of the local high-school varisty team. He dashes down a back alley, his tight leather clothing showing off his toned body, but helping him hide in the shadows. He dashes out the back end of the alley, turning around in the street, spreading his hands out to his sides, a smile gracing his lips.
"Fellas, fellas, surely we can come to an understanding can't we? I had no idea they were taken, and I assure you, I want not trouble, I mean, come on look at me, do I look strong enough to take on the best varsity team in state? I don't think so, and no one will know this even happened, and you can even tell everyone you beat me up, I'm leaving tommorrow anyways." he says lightly, knowing he had a fight on his hands regardless. Sucked to be them, he was probably the greatest fighter in creation, and he really didn't want to bother with these kids. He blocks out the insults, letting his mind clear as their quarterback begins ranting at him, doing the big macho man speech thing, impressing his friends and blah blah blah. He really didn't care, all he knew was, he was ready for a fight, and man, would it suck to be them, despite the fact he was fighting as a mortal.

Scarlet couldnt believe what she was doing. Outside of the underworld? Stupid idea. The smells of pollution and trash burned her nose. She was accustomed to the dank smells of floating spirits and the rich smells of the rivers. This place, a concrete jungle, was no place for an angelic looking demon. She didnt fit in here. Then again, where did she fit in? The only thing that caught her eye on this night was a single man with his arms out being confronted by what seemed to be a football team. A chuckle rocked her body gently. "Poor kid." She smiled and leaned against the corner of the building at the far end of the alley. Well, at least he seemed to be trying to get out of it and that seemed to be quite a good idea. One of the meat headed jocks was calling out many things. Scarlet's better side got to her, and she finally decided to step in.
Her form shifted, metal plating her body from nearly head to toe. It just barely covered her chest, and left her torso bare. With a large red bladed weapon in her hand she appeared infront of the undefended man, her eyes fericely staring at the mob. "Back off alright? That or each of you will lose your head." She snarled. When they started to step forward Scarlet stomped a foot, the metal clanging against the asphalt and echoing through the alley. A ring of fire surrounded the two instantly, making the infuriated attackers jump back and remain stunned. "I will give you to the count of five to get out of my sight before you all become toasty human marshmellows." her crimson hair made her eyes more intense, making the beautiful girl almost deathly frightening. The crowd finally shuffled back, and then scattered. Scarlet sighed, the fire disappearing into the air as she turned to face the silver haired man behind her. "You're welcome." She said softly, her form moving past him, the metal on her feet still clicking.

Chaos merely stares, quite confident the sound he'd just heard was his jaw hitting concrete. What the hell!? Maybe his luck was finally picking up! When she moves off, he shakes himself from his daze, starting after her, "Hey now gorgeous, don't be that way! You can't exactly save me, flaunt a little control over flame and walk off now can ya? The least you can do is at least let me buy you a drink!" he says with a grin, his leather moving silently along with his body. "Come on, how about it?" he says with a grin, moving to block her path.
"So, what are you? If you don't mind me asking. God? Titan? angel, demon, personification, hero, something else? I'm not quite the ignorant mortal." he says with a shrug. "How bout you let me buy you a drink, or we can just go hang out back at my hotel room, no strings attached. I have some soda there, nothing alchoholic though, but, I don't suppose it would affect you regardless, would it? Oh well, care for pepsi? Love it myself, rambling again. Call me Linx! You? Actually, call me whatever you want, I don't suppose names really matter do they?" he rambles with a grin, failry certain she'd be a little suprised at his forwardsness and quick subject changes towards the end, always threw people off for some reason.

His voice came to her but she tried hard not to notice him. Scarlets eyes were rather dull when he stepped in her way. The clicking of metal finally stopped with her, and she shifted back into normal clothes. The grey skinny jeans, black tank top and black converse with a studded blet around her hips. "Im not really looking for anyone to hang out with tonight, sorry." She stood there, the heat of fire around her and her sweet angelic face was beautiful dispite the dark circles under her eyes. Scarlet could never sleep unless she was home. "And im not exactly gorgeous, nor is that my name so i would appriciate you not calling me that, not to mention i can be any way i want." Her voice was very soft spoken.
'So persistant....' Scarlet thought. Then again, what would be the harm in humoring him? The question of what she happened to be made her eyes sadded only the slightest bit. "Angel and demon. Both. Yes, odd, but so were my parents." Scarlet stood tall, very proud to be unique. "And fine. One drink. At your hotel since ill be out of the public eye. I really dont think those boys are going to just walk away keeping thier mouth shut." Scarlet yawned a little. "Not to mention im sleepy and being out im public isnt good for that either." She occasionally forgot about the fire and just let it run if she got too drained. "And finally.... my name is Scarlet. Nice to meet you Linx... i suppose." Scarlets eyes drifted over the man, wondering why he was suddenly so interested in her.

Linx grins, his hand darting forward into hers, lifting and shaking it. "Well, nice to see you're at least talkative. And congrats on the pyrokinesis, fun isn't it? And I think I remember hearing something about your parents, sad affair. I stay informed." he tacked the last bit on as he turned to lead her down the street. "Hotels down the street a few blocks, hope you warm up. Very cold for a demon, if only half. Usuall flamboyant aren't they? Out-going, fun loving...must take after your mother more. Her eyes I assume? Very pretty." he says with a shrug. He leads her the rest of the way in silence, walking beside her and watching her.
She was formed very well, and with an experts eye like his, it was easy to appreciate. "Scarlet. Interesting name. Parents name you? Or did you name yourself? Just curious." he says with another shrug, his arms swaying at his sides, not having pockets in these leather pants. Jeans, pockets, lots of them, leather, not so much. Comfy though, good looking...'rambling again.' he chides himself, looking at her again. He smiles at her once more, "And yes, being part angelic and out in public attracts lots of attention. And if the team comes back, I take em." he says with a smile, "Not quite right for a man to let the women do the work he incurred." he says with another smile, turning into the lobby, guiding her into an lift, leading her to the top floor.
He leads her down the hall, swaying lightly, pushing open his door. He didn't bother locking it ever, he could replace anything that got stolen, he still retained most of his power of creation. "Take a seat anywhere." he says with a shrug, gesturing arounf the fairly large room, the bed in another side room. He steps into the bar area, pulling out two pepsis, moving back and handing her one, popping the top on his, dropping into a chair and sipping the icy cold drink with a soft sigh of pleasure. "Love you mortals, best thing you've ever made." he mutters to himself, smiling at her. "So, Scarlet, tell me about yourself. You don't live around her, that much is obvious, you wrinkle your nose at the air, trust me, you get used to it." he says with a shrug.

Boy did he talk alot. Scarlet was never the talkative type since she didnt have anyone to talk to. Sure, she had many friends back home, but here in the mortal wold was never her favorite place to be. "How do you know about them...? Well... nevermind i guess... Both sides heard about it... it seemed everyone was there..." Scarlet sighed, shaking her head. She waled with him none the less, happy to have the company at least. All the things that he was saying was actually completely true, weather she liked to admit it or not. She was unnaturally cold at the moment and really would like to be happy and fun, but here she needed to rein herself in.
"Acutally Linx, im more like my father. My looks are very much my mothers... She was beautiful... and thanks." Her cheeks got a little pinker than normal as he complimented her, driving her further back into her quiet shell. "Scarlet is the name my parents gave me. I do like it, so i never thought of changing it." Scarlet walked quietly, her feet not making any noise. She followed him through the hotel, her long hair flowing behind her, mortal males turning to watch her all over the place.
Once in the room she looked around then plopped down on the couch. Her back was flat and her feet crossed at the ankles, ontop of the arm. her hair fell down off the couch and pooled on the floor. "Thanks." Scarlet said softly taking the soda and opening it before gulping down nearly half. "What do you want to know about me?" She tilted her head to look at him. " no, im not from here. I stay in the underworlds mostly.... and i dont really plan to stay here long." She drifted off, looking at the ceiling.

Linx laughs, "The underworlds huh? Bah, drab and boring, earth is so much more interesting,so proud of it." he says with a laugh, smiling at her. "Oh, and from earlier, you look great, and no, the angelic beauty is not the only reason, nor is it affecting me. Which should be the biggest hint I'm not mortal, though it's hard to tell I suppose. I have a vice for beautiful women, and by damn you're the best I've seen in ages!" he says with another laugh. "And I don't care, just talk. Even demon angel hybrids can talk and get bored can't they? Entertain me, and thus yourself." he says with another laugh.
"I assume you have a natural like for fire. Not only because of being half demon, but the fact that that's the elemancy you decided to learn. As an angel, one would think you'd pick air, but no, fire, thus it shows you take after your demonic side." he sits silently for a moment, before laughing again, "I'm sorry, I sort of forget my original point and started to repeat myself." he says with a smile at her, reclining into the chair, watching her interestedly. "So, tell me, are you involved back in the udnerworld, working for Hades?" he winces to himself as he drops the name, she'd probably know him as lucifer, and he was giving her more hints to his nature and origin. He changes the subjectquickly, continuing on, "I'd think not, you seem too reclusive, but you're beautiful enough to get one!" he says with another laugh. "So, why are you on earth if you don't like this place? I love it myself." he says with another smile at her, though a soft one, toning down the flirting.

Scarlet have a heavy sigh. He never stopped with the questions! it only made her feel more self concious about herself. She hid it well, along with many other emotions. "I like it there... I perfer the dark..." She smiled only the littlest bit, remembering home. 'there he goes again...' Scarlet thought as he seemed to ramble off ten things in one breath. "Im not pretty Linx. Not even the lowest demons find interest in me because of the half angel in me. No angel will take me because i seem to be more demon.... I dont fit in anywhere..." the heart break was clear in her voice, ever though she was quite happy to be herself. Entertain him? What was she? A circus act?
"Ive grown up around fire... Its just in my genes." Scarlet said, her bright emerald eyes looking at the supposed immortal infront of her. "From my earlier comment, no im not involved. Lucifer himself teaches me what i should know about my powers but has denied me anything more. Its said that i could surpass him and become the new ruler of the underworld. I would definately be a little less strict. Poor souls." Scarlet started to drift a little, her mind going back home once more. "Its also said that if i trained my angelic side that i could sprout wings, i dont believe them though." Scarlet sat up, crossing her legs indian style. " And i ahve to say this. i really do. you talk, A LOT." She gave the barest traces of smiles.

Linx sits up, staring at her, silent for a few minutes. "Yes. yes I do. Makes me interesting! Would you rather I'm somber and formal like all the other gods and titans? No, no fun in that. And shut up, yes you are, you're good looing and don't think it because you've grown up around two very biased sides. And yes, you could grow wings, trust me, I can grow them on you now if I felt like it. Which I don't. I hardly fel like exercising power anymore." he says with a shrug, feeling like opening up to her, it sucked being an outcast. "And no, you couldn't take over for Hades. One, he wouldn't let you, trust me, I know him too well, and two, you're too nice You're more angelic than you think. Which is why you can get your wings. Probably black though, but I think you could probably make seraphim in my...err, gods court." he looked away, scratching his chin.
He was found of the angels, one of his finer creations, and he felt horrible about the incident with her parents. He really should have stepped in, but what was the point in giving things free will if he was going to force them to do what he wanted? "Anyways...trust me, you fit in." he says with a soft smile. "There's a reason I...uh, god, created everything, and everything will fit in somewhere. Trust me Scarlet, I never lie to a beautiful woman. Ask me anything, and I'll tell you the truth. I feel oddly connected with you." he says with a smile and light laugh. He moves over to her, slipping his hand into hers, kneeling beside her, looking into her eyes. "Trust in me, and everything will be fine." he says softly, seriously to her.

Scarlet had distracted herself by snapping her fingers, watching the flame at the tip, blowing it out, and doing it all over. The flame was so intoxicating, and the fact that she could create such a thing so easily was really going to her head. A grin was growing on her face as was the little fingertip flame to a ball in her palm. "Biased or not Linx, Im never fully accepted anywhere." She said, her long pale fingers closing around the ball in her palm and the grey smoke escaping from between her fingers. "I enjoy my powers, but i dont use them for harm. And personally i dont care what Luci- Hades... thinks about me. He's a selfish fool, afraid of his best student. Coward." Scarlet grumbled and then sighed, camling herself down.
"Seraphim...? Do you mind explaining that because i dont really know much." Scarlet said gently. She was curious about why he slipped up so much on things like this, and she would clearly like to stop talking about herself. If anything, Scarlet would like to be quiet. There was nothing important for her to say. Scarlet was insignificant, she didnt belong. "I dont ask questions, i lose most friends that way because i take it too far. So please, dont ask me to ask questions." Scarlet watched as he got up and sat by her, taking her hand. "How can i trust you Linx? I hardly know you." Her bright eyes looked to his face with seincerity.

Linx smiles at her brilliantly, "Haven't lied to you yet! Not that I would. And a Seraphim, basically, if I remember the orders right as it's been awhile since I've interacted with them, is the highest order of angel, the most responsible and trusted. Also the most powerful. As an angel increases the number of wings, it's own power increases as well, making far more powerful. I know you'd make Seraphim, especially wth my favour." he says with a laugh, squeezing her hand lightly. "Trust me, don't you feel the connection?" he asks her with a ligt smile. The angels, of all his creations, were the most in-tune with him, and generally the most empathic with him, just feeling somethingwithout knowing what. Gabrielle took awhile to get used to it, much to his amusement.
"And trust me, questions are fine. Free will, remember?" he asks with a smile. "And trust me, Hades isn't afraid of you, he's one of my...well, he's one of the first creations, third generation, with the first being the entity that created everything." 'which is me.' he added to himself silently, watching her. "Besides,we're more alike thanyou think." he says with a smile, a smile firey halo popping into existence around his head, spinning quickly before burning into a brighter form, pure white. "Pyrokinesis, and then I devoted time into controlling lighting, as a more pure form of fire. Very found of them both, very flashy. Course, it's just one of my many talents." he says with a laugh. "You'll soon find, I'm not what you expectd." he says with a laugh, trying to imagine the look on her face when she found out he was the creature she knew as god.

Scarlet sighed, looking down at thier hands. She didnt mind it really, but it was odd for her. The last time she had been hugged or anything was before her parents were killed. That was such a long time ago that she lost count of the years. "No, thats not the point. Trust... Trust you? Someone i just met? You ask too much of me." Scarlet let her eyes trail up his arm to his face so she could hear him better. "Thats the thing though. I dont want to be one or the other. Why would a half demon be on the lords council?" She looked at him with curious eyes. "No right person in thier mind would." The light squeeze to her hand made her look down at the intwined fingers again. "The connection?? What im i supossed to be feeling?" She questioned, her emerald eyes sparkling.
She was still very, very uncomfortable here. This mortal world made her feel so restrained. "How can you stand it here? I feel like im being smothered. You must think im very quiet because of this.... If only i could escape..." She groaned, tossing her head back against the couch. Her eyes still looked at him, watching the halo with interested eyes. "Thats cool. I'm not allowed to learn anymore, so i cant do that. I dont even have a halo." Scarlet huffed. Her eyes closed slowly and she got up. Scarlet started to pace, randomly flicking up flames. "Im not quite anything you've seen before either." Scarlets form shifted to her armor. Arms covered from the elbow down, legs from the knee down, her hips and chest of course, barely covering her and the beastly horn helmet. "This." she gestured to herself. "Definately isnt normal."

Linx pokes her in the sides laughing as the halo fizzles out. "Yeah, I don't really have a halo myself, don't need one, I just feel like making that every now and again to show off." he says with another laugh, smiling at her. "And I suppose you've spent too long in the underworld to really feel the connection, the other angels do. As a half angel, you'd normally feel something, but as you've been in the underworld, well, I guess not. And why not? The 'Lord' accepts everyone, does he not? At least, that's what everyone says. True though." he says with a shrug, still smiling at her. He lets her hand slips slowly from his, as he sits on the floor, reaching a hand behind him, placing it on her stomach, closing his eyes.
Thankfully, he still retained most of his godly might, and was able to induce a change in her, shifting her for back to what it was a few moments ago. "Don't break the couch, I don't want to get them a new one." he says with a laugh, pulling his hand back, leaning against the couch. "Whew. Takes more out of me than it used to. I'm getting on in my old age." he says with a laugh. "And I can teach you anything you want, I'm more than a match for Lucifer, or Hades, whichever you prefer. I can teach you to control lightning if I felt like it. Oh...and this is for you." he says, snapping his fingers, a halo appearing. It was a brilliant crimson ring, with a shadowy fire burning within it constantly, which he examined for a moment, before shruggig and holding it up for he to take. "Now you have a halo. And no, that won't ever dissappear. Oh...hold on a sec..." he says, looking at her, smiling softly, shrugging, closing his eyes, placing his hand against her cheek. After a moment, he opens his eyes, retracting his hand, holding the halo out for her, "There, now it is in-tune with you, and you acn summon it at will, or banish it to wherever you want, I set aside a small piece of oblivion for it to be stored in when you banish it without thinking of somewhere specific to send it." he says with a shrug, aware that he probably just gave away far too much of his powers true extent. "Anything else? I can give you wings, a tail...plastic surgery stuff really, only painless, seamless and free." he says with a laugh, smiling at her.

Scarlet gasped at the tingle as her power fizzled out, turning her back and then once more flowed through her. "Hey. Dont do that." She said, her heart thumping, a little frightened that he stopped her energy flow so easily. That meant, if he really were just stringing her along for some reason her powers meant nothing. She would be a defenseless human for those long few moments. Scarlet didnt like the feeling of not having something to protect herself.
Scarlet watched the halo form, taking a liking to it almost instantly. She did wish that someday, maybe, she would be able to create things in a whim. Her eyes stared at it, curious. Just as she was going to reach out for it, his hand met her cheek, her eyes wide and blinking. Something inside of her attached to something else, making her feel even more uncomfortable than before. "Attuned..." she muttered, and then took the halo. Scarlet looked at it, afraid that he might break it. "how do i put it on... just... put it there or something?" Her hand raised and put it upon her head, it sticking instantly. Scarlet tried to take it off again, but it just zipped right back into place. She shifted over to one side, her eyes fixed on the halo as it hovered, then flicked into place again. Moving constantly from side to side she saw that it wouldnt go away and huffed, crossing her arms. She obivously didnt hear the other part of the statement. "Well... the only thing that you could ever do for me is find someone to accepts and loves me. Have fun with that one." She laughed a little.

Linx laughs, gently patting her cheek. "Hey now, god loves and accepts everyone. I obviously accept you don't I? Sheesh, can't even get a break anymore. And I can make alot more than halos you know. That's easy stuff. Lets see you make a multiverse." he mutters with an eye roll, grinning despite himself. He stretches out, sliding down, silent for a few moments, before asking her a sort of random question, "What do you think god is like?" he asks softly, wondering what her actual opinion of him was. "And you can banish the halo with a thought, it'll come back when you want it." he says with a laugh, poking her again.
He smiles at her, again, softly this time, "Trust me, you'll find someone, I know it, and I know everything." he says with a laugh, mostly cause it was true. She'd just assume he was bragging, he was sure, but whatever, he didn't quite feel like just coming out and telling her that he was god, the omnipotent being that created everything. That'd kill all chances of a second date if she thought of him as a father figure, and he REALLY didn't want that! "And if you're so reclusive, why do you want someone to love? Love from afar is better I think, that way you don't run the risk of getting hurt." he knew that for fact, he'd taken u[ with a few of his creations, but they'd never exact;y been kind in the end. Which, in all honesty, he should have seen coming, but ignored it, now, he just loved all his creations from afar. Mostly the women. Mainly the women. Ok, especially the women, he didn't care much for the men. Not at all, as they always wanted to fight him.
