"You there!" Dark eyes had shot forward to focus on man with a gun. "Come here. Come with me."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNe3QxH5ED

Looking back down at the collapsed youth, the brown-eyed child stepped away before turning on his heels. Holding in a whine as a bullet whizzed past his head, he looked back to see one of the three individuals rolling Ren over prior to him being hoisted up and tossed over his captor's shoulder to be taken away.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡw96KgWG0kv

"Ren!"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsKhResNcV

"Ren!"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcbwIx4lPr

Bolting upright, Calix grasped at the silver chain given to him. Releasing the gift, he looked around slowly to see that he was back in their little hideout. Feeling something roll down his forehead, he wiped it off with the back of his hand before realizing it was sweat. Picking up on a low, yet harsh sound, he then realized it was his breathing.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9MAioSVkb

"CL." Said person looked up to see Will watching him carefully. "How are you feeling?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jFmiV6rM3

"Um, fine," he replied, swinging his legs over the couch. Getting to his feet, he soon collapsed into a broken heap sitting on the floor. "Fuck…" Trying to pull himself up, he grimaced when his friend came over to give assistance. Once seated, he leaned back on the sofa actually feeling the onslaught of growing pain that was starting to take over. "What happened?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGjgEvarQT

"Ren, you can let go."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WTI8CEbbD

"Where's Ren?" he questioned.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡded68WANMo

"Yo!" The duo looked towards the redhead leaning in the doorway with a bottle of soda. He then tossed it to the seated raven, only to watch said item hit the floor. "Hey, what's wrong? You could've caught that." Tawny eyes then picked up on the pointed glare coming from Will. "Oh, uh, did you take the aspirin?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KLgwIOB2P

"No, I have other things to worry about," Cal said as he pulled himself into an upright position, wincing again. "Where's Ren?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXYnKFVGdO

"Let's not think about that right now, Cal." Brown eyes shifted to see the offered aspirin. "C'mon, take this. You're going to need it."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKjzMNouEq

"Where's Evren?" Will looked back at Renyx prior to hearing the question again. "Where is he?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2YX5721cr

"Who knows and who cares," Renyx replied as he watched SHU scuttle towards a nearby monitor.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYRgpbKVrM

"Typical," the raven groused as he took a painful step forward.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKSGodhNNM

"Cal-"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xXUeZVSqs

"CL, take the aspirin," Will said before having the small pill swatted out her hand.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡtygEtWIVbm

"Cal-"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NgnXV4IIv

"He's hurt dammit!" the teen snapped before holding his sides.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHJ6xTYE1D

"Take the aspirin, Calix Lefay," Renyx ordered as aforementioned hobbled towards the exit.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0gbidJ2Xv

"Shut the hell up, Anthony," came the reply. The speaker practically doubled over soon after, holding his sides once more. Feeling a hand rest along his shoulder, he swatted it away. "Don't touch me!"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqBrpeQP3a

"You need help."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡquzlkFbxuu

"I do not!"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAbBrOdw7c

"You're in a ball-you know what?" Ochre-colored eyes diverted themselves towards the female that had retrieved the aspirin. Taking it from her, he grabbed ahold of one of Calix's arms before pulling him over. "You're taking this pill," Renyx growled, holding the thing up.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGlVqJQyTY

"Make m-"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHcmzEfmSP

Having the capsule pushed into his mouth without warning, he went to spit the thing out. However, a hand clamped over his mouth. Glaring back at the one holding him still, Cal began wiggling around.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAFPvNFYaE

"Swallow it." Receiving a muffled sound of defiance, Renyx slid his hand up a bit to cover his friend's nose as well. "I said swallow!" He received the same sound as before. "You're going to run out of air if you don't." Brown eyes narrowed to mere slits. "Try me."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXB1EPzPYt

Bolting upright, Evren slowly ran his fingers through his hair. Sensing another nearby, he slowly lowered his hand, catching minor signs of the pain that was beginning to creep its way into his more conscious state.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSGPWAlnYS

"Why are you here?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKFU0N6uYY

"Why don't we start with a 'thank you'? After all, I did bring your butt back here," Tyson commented offhandedly. "Besides, what the hell happened to you?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡowryHXHuPv

"Nothing. It's none of your business."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT74WCeoxS

"Uh, yeah, it is! Who do you think has to do a report on this? Besides, that dark bruise around your eye doesn't look like nothing." Evren grimaced. "Just wait until the Director gets a load of that shiner."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcyKZ2HyF7

"You mean he hasn't seen it yet?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8293Fbg54

Ty shook his head. "Nope, I just brought you here after finding you in the garage."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡakVdyk1hg1

"The garage?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIr8XPqoj2

"That is what I just said," Tyson replied before rubbing the back of your neck. "Whoever got you must've hit you pretty hard if you don't even remember getting here." Evren looked elsewhere prior to hearing the other man scoff, "Don't tell me you don't remember walking back."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBSSMrK6uC

"I do remember. Now leave me alone. I've been gone for one night and your voice is already starting to give me a headache."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5TELqCPtC

"Ev-"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQcWuyqEST

"I said to go away!"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbHW1k323L

"Fine!" Grabbing his jacket from the chair, Tyson tossed it over his shoulder as he headed to the door "Good luck explaining yourself to the Director after the report I give him."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ8jGUU4fC

Scowling, the white-haired officer looked towards a shrouded window prior to hearing the door open.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡklo1tTCJee

He already knew he'd be reprimanded for his unauthorized excursion but he wasn't too sure what their employer had in mind when it came down to the bruising around his eye. A fight would be the only logical explanation though it had to be one of justly cost rather than some absentminded street brawl.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Jt82c3Ig

In other words, he was screwed the moment their leader got a look at him.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCsnLlUDRw

"Wait."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKm0LWB7Bx

"What is it?" Red eyes shifted towards the man sitting on the medical table. "If you didn't notice, I was kinda in the process of leaving, remember? Evren-"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf5NXWcW6d

"Don't say anything, ok?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q8KSuwuZJ

"No, I'm giving a report," Ty replied as he headed out.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcTxVHRy8e

"Wait!"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDg6JQsV4x

Seeing how the door closed with a snap, Evren slid off the table quickly, wincing after several steps before reaching the door. Staggering back when he caught sight of a well-tailored suit, Evren bowed his head quickly, hiding his gaze behind his colorless fringe of hair. Taking a step back to allow the other entry, he waited patiently until the newcomer had entered before turning to hurry out himself.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuY5RG3scq

"Halt." The officer stopped midstride prior to hunching his shoulders. "About face."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlFpGSFeG8

Moving slightly, Evren didn't do much else. Hearing the command again, he lowered his head further before startling when he heard footsteps approach him. Again, the command came before Evren executed it. Already having a general idea of what to expect from the man, he straightened and held his head up high, awaiting any interrogation that his boss would give him. Instead, he was startled once more when the Director grabbed his chin and tilted his head slowly at all angles to get a better look at the black eye inflicted.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBaFKX4uHk

"It was a cheap shot, sir."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhKa7eAB5z

"A cheap-someone managed to strike you in the face, Evren?" Mismatched eyes averted themselves slowly before focusing on the ochre pair watching him carefully now. "When did this happen then?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWNPNprYWr

"Last night, sir."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡK77kduiPvS

"Where was your backup?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡurb6hwJB3F

"Your team."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFxZrtCJme

"Wasn't present, sir."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3q9axmRKT

"Wasn't…present?" the Director questioned slowly. His officer averted his eyes. "Evren, look at me when I'm talking to you." Aforementioned did so. "You should know the rules. As a lead-" The white-haired man dropped his gaze for a moment before looking up once more. "Evren."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡJotFGZrcxV

"Leader or not, I failed to follow a simple task of engaging an opponent without the proper knowledge of the individual as well as not having a form of back up. For that, I do apologize, sir," he said with a slight bow. "Not only is it a disgrace on the headquarters' behalf but one on your behalf as well. Again, I do apologize, sir and I'm willing to accept any punishment you see fit."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡs39ZUCpBsQ

"Dutiful as usual." The younger male merely stood by. "However-" Evren tensed considerably though he did his best not to show it. "-bringing you to Polaris may have proved a tad rash.

Hearing a small groan, tawny and brown eyes alike focused on the waking teen. Catching fuzzy slivers of brown looking back, Will offered a smile before dodging out the way of a punch thrown.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡocFcvxO7UL

"Could've worded that better," Will muttered towards the oldest male. "Kinda' made him mad now."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCglJ3Mk99

"You think?" Renyx asked as he sidestepped a punch. He then caught ahold of the fist flying towards him prior to pushing Calix back onto the couch watching him wince in the process. "You need to take it easy, Cal. Take another as-"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRZSOh5d2Q

"I'm not obsessed! Screw the aspirin and screw you too!" Calix shouted before hopping over the back of the couch. Stumbling after two steps, he glanced back at the redhead headed towards him before getting into a more defensive stance. "Stay away from me."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡhONDK5Fja1

"CL, let him go." Brown eyes drifted Will's way. "C'mon, let him go, CL."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡ860UQhHxEH

Doing as told, Cal stepped back prior to turning to leave. Hearing his name being called, he glanced back at the red-haired male prior to hurrying out the side door. Listening to the reverberating sound of the door, Calix looked left then right prior to opting for the path straight across. Moments later, he heard Renyx yelling his name though he didn't turn back and he refused to reply. Reaching a ladder, he climbed his way up before pushing aside the metal lid blocking outside world.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YtpQxqHpl

Pulling himself out of the hole, Cal took a look around, giving his eyes time to adjust prior to fishing through his pocket. Finding a suitable looking wall, he made his way over prior to pulling out his communicator and calling up his guardian.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyFNvnLej5

"I-"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77jxreX2hY

"And don't say school." Glaring when no answer came, Mal softened his look. "Calix." Aforementioned looked at him once more. "Where are you? Are you hurt? Do you need me to come get you?" Grey eyes watched as a slight smile pulled at the teen's face. "Cal…what happened? Did you have another run-in with the officers?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyOxMwVwuG

Calix rubbed the back of his neck gingerly. "It's nothing to worry about. I'll see you back at home."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡE627mkCUxs

"Cal-"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUTixnw0yk

Slipping the round phone back into his pocket, Cal slowly brought his hand up to cradle one side before feeling his legs give out. Lifting his shirt, he stared at the angry bruises he received from being used as a safety pad before mustering the strength to get his body to move again. It took some time but after ten minutes, he managed to get his feet under him.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQzt8tSu0d

That was about it really.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGCFT2N1YU

Actually walking proved to be a difficult feat in itself.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWWhNmfxTR

Roughly two hours had passed before he managed to pull himself out of the old Polaris and cross the border into that of the new city. By that point, his entire body shook from strain. By that point, he was contemplating on calling for his guardian. He started to suspect that he'd be in a better state than he was if he had actually taken the aspirin Will had been trying to give to him. Then again, it could've been something she had come up with and needed a test dummy for.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkdCPpGjcg

She could've used Renyx. He's dumb enough.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhTaHCUVUh

Nodding his head at the thought, Calix carried on for at least another hour before finally pulling himself up the small flight of stairs leading to his front door. Fumbling around for his keys, he unlocked the door once he found them and dragged himself inside. Walking over to the living room, he sank down onto the nearest couch and slid his eyes shut for much needed rest.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkcM8Vfj0J

"Calix!" Said person cracked his eyes open. "Calix!"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12CEQpAGZf

Rolling over slowly, the teen looked up at the blurred sight of his guardian. "Mmm…Malecai…?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡba7DUb3Zhu

"Thank god." Sleepy eyes blinked once. "The door was left open."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAjiIxUUXi

"I forgot to lock it…?"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkxD5vBqy8

"You forgot to close it!" the man corrected. "Where have you been?" The teen opened his mouth. "And don't say school."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtjyLYCPpW

"Fine, I won't say school," he muttered before closing his eyes once more. His eyes cracked open when he felt a tap to the cheek. "What?" he grumbled.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJMkJGDHqw

"What's wrong with you? You're not one to ditch…consecutively anyway."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Bf8hcmKc

"Cal…"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Zjq0WdMH

"…Mal…"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuiRmwUHh9

Watching as the younger male's eyes slipped shut again; Malecai grimaced before hooking an arm around his waist and draping the other along his shoulder. "C'mon, at least sleep in your room." He pulled then the other off the couch, merely to have him sink towards the ground. "C'mon, you could at least help me out."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSiSJ0S2AF

"H…hurts to move anym…"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7a791MTbs

"Fell…"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPZ9DVqkJv

"You fell?" Mal received a nod. "Fell from where?" He watched as his charge furrowed his brow. "Calix, tell me," Malecai said before feeling the other go limp altogether. "Cal?" Said person remained still. "Calix!"copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLC4duIdq5

"Again."copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9zNKdSi8P

Picking himself from off the floor, Evren picked up the 9mm that had fallen from his latest opponent's hand. Holding up his arm, he deflected a kick prior to hopping back several paces as he let the limb fall back to his side. Looking around as he heard several steps come forward from all directions, mismatched eyes turned upwards to regard the lights above. The moment he lowered his head was the moment they went off, one by one. Cocking his weapon, Evren exhaled slowly prior to closing his eyes.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDcL86MYki

He could hear footsteps coming from the front, roughly three paces to left. Another was coming from behind with an equal amount of paces from the right. Picking up on the sound of four weapons being cocked, the officer ran forward to take out the one that he determined to be closest.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLsrPUbo6C

Freezing midstride, he heard a bullet whiz by his ear prior to feeling several strands of hair fall onto his shoulder. Hearing motion from the front, he leaned back, kicking his leg out to feel his foot connect with the hand of one of his opponents. Standing straight, he hopped up enough to switch feet, knocking the other's gun from their hand prior to raising his foot high enough to strike them in the chest. Listening to the sound of a body connecting to the floor, Evren straightened before pocketing his gun in favor of grabbing the fist thrown his way. Looking in the direction it had come, he pulled the member towards him before using the momentum to flip them onto their back. A second bullet whizzing by had him halting in delivering a paralyzing blow as he felt something beginning to flow from the upper half of his arm.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwIDULp8O5

Unable to see, but knowing what it was, Evren looked around steadily before catching the faintest sound of breath several steps behind him. Turning on his heels, his gun now in hand, it didn't take long for his weapon to collide with his opponent's. Staying close, and focusing on the sound of their feet, Evren managed to knock the other's hand upwards the moment they went to pull the trigger. The feeling of glass shards raining down did nothing to deter the man that was now in the process of pulling the trigger himself. Another click of a gun's hammer had him backpedalling into a wall before dropping into a crouch. Listening out for anything foreign, he eased forward slowly before jumping onto yet another opponent.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Yfmmu8qS

Pressing his knees behind the other's legs, he placed his hands on either side of their head before snapping it to the right. Getting off, he picked up the fallen weapon, bringing the hammer back. Pointing the barrel of his newer gun behind him, he pointed the barrel of his previous one forward before altering its aim several centimeters to the left. Firing a round simultaneously, the officer barely batted an eye from the small spark produced as his shot connected with another from the other shooter. Hearing two weapons being locked on either side of his head, he held up his hands, dropping the guns the moment the lights came back on.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡJavvZQrj2M

Looking left then right to see the barrels of two Ruger 10/22s being aimed at his temples, Evren looked ahead to see the Director watching him from the skybox. Seeing how the older gentleman had arched an eyebrow, the younger officer lashed out, knocking off their aim entirely prior to getting a hold of the two things that had been pointed at him. Pulling the triggers without delay, he pulled them again to hear the empty chambers. Throwing the empty guns aside, he tugged dropped his arms in a deliberate jerking motion. Feeling two clips drop free to the floor, he glanced down at them before kicking his leg back to catch his would be assailant in the chest. When they had dropped their gun, he caught the item prior to rolling over to the side to fire at the person taking aim at him. Seeing an automatic being pointed his way, he rolled to his feet before running to get out of the way.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGhWFOlzcN

Crossing the room, Evren kicked off a nearby wall before turning to deliver a roundhouse kick to the head. Catching the weapon that had fallen from their hands the moment they went to hit the ground, the officer opened fire on the remaining members still standing until he heard the click of the empty weapon. Looking down at it, he hopped to his feet before sprinting across the room.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7qnSzGzUz

Weaving between bullets being aimed his way, he didn't slow by a fraction when one caught him in the shin, nor did he slow when another lodged itself in his upper arm, the third just grazing his shoulder. Tossing the automatic aside in favor of grabbing one of the abandoned Rugers, he fired the remaining rounds out of them before releasing the empty magazines. Gauging the distance between him and his last few opponents, he dodged the oncoming shells before dropping down to his knees to slide across the floor.copyright protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡccxSgBaul0

Slamming the firearms down onto the clips he had dropped some time ago, he clicked them together before hopping to his feet in a fluid motion.
