Luna opened the door carefully and saw the state of the room before her eyes fell on Uriah. She wanted to try and make him laugh, just anything to make him feel better, "T-too busy for your wife?" She walked over and sat down next to him, there was nothing much she could do other than give him a comforting presence. She wanted to be there for him and it didn't help when he locked himself away.

(Sorry I haven’t really been on. I’m sick and really out of it lol. But I still have to go to classes)
Uriah chuckle and looked at her as she sat down. "I'm never too busy for you. How is Katya?" He felt awful, and like a horrible dad to leave her like that. This isn't what a father is like. He put his head on her shoulder and took in her scent. Anyway she was he had a piece of home. "She must be lonely right now. God, I'm awful and selfish. I just left her when she needed me, and for what, to ruin my office?" Uriah wished he could be the same as when he was younger, more sure of himself and calm in situations like this. When did it all change? Was it Zhavia's death, or when he entered hell, and came out with scars from that place. "And it doesn't help that Caleb looks down on me as well. Do I really look that weak now?" With all these questions, came some tears in his eyes. What kind of person would even want to be with him at this point. He was surprised Luna had stayed with him for so long.
(Sorry I haven’t really been on. I’m sick and really out of it lol. But I still have to go to classes)
(You're good. I'm not feeling too well myself, but I'm just in bed with nothing better to do, haha.)
Luna reached and pulled Uriah into a hug. She figured they both needed it at the moment and just held him. He was a lifeline for her at the moment and she figured she was the same for him. She pulled away from him a little to look at him, "K-Katya is quiet for now. W-We should get back to her sooner than later. A-And you don't look that weak, C-Caleb is just cocky that's all. I-I love you, I-I hope you remember that."
"You're right." He gave her a quick kiss. And stood up. "Katya needs us right." He just hoped she was mad for him leaving her like that. When he walked out a guard was standing right there. "No one enters this room, and I want more eyes on my house." The man nodded and spoke into his communicator. "Let's go home. Had anyone else shown up yet?" He asked grabbing her hand and walking down the halls. If Luna wasn't here, he would've gone crazy by now.
Luna walked with him still appearing confident to the guards. She heard Uriah's question and shook her head, "N-Not that I know of."
They walked out of the doors onto the stone path to their house. Uriah took a deep breath, preparing for Katya to be mad at him. Before stepped inside he fixed himself up. It had become a habit by now to appear calm in front of everyone, well everyone besides Luna. He opened the door and made sure to announce who it was. He didn't want to scare the poor girl. "Katya, we're home."
Katya carefully stepped out of the room her eyes red from crying silently. She walked over to them carefully before running and hugging Uriah close to him. Katya began to feel the sobs build up and burst out. She just needed someone to hold her and tell her everything was going to be okay, and she needed it from her parents. Luna felt her heartstrings tug at the sight and a little sad that Katya picked Uriah over her.
Uriah picked her up held her close. "Hey, it's going to be fine. We're going to get your sister back okay." Uriah's heart ached when Katya ran over to him. He was surprised, but happy. "You know what? How about some pizza, popcorn and a movie. Let's just have some family time." Even though Esmae wasn't there he felt it was best for them just to stay together. He would meet up with the others later. Right now Luna, Katya and himself are the only ones he needs to worry about. "You can pick. And we can watch it in mom and dads room, with out comfy blanket." He grabbed Luna's hand and pulled her in as well. It was hard having to be the man of the house when your own father didn't show you how. But Uriah already knew he was a far better father than his own.
Katya gave her a little nod. she held onto Uriah for close to dear life. Luna had a smile on as she walked along with them, Uriah was an amazing father. A lot better than the mother Luna tried to be. Katya used one of her hands to wipe at her eyes and looked to both Uriah and Luna, "Can we watch Aladdin?"
"Hm, a classic. Of course." He walked into there room and gently set her on the bed. He put Katya in the middle so Luna and him can be on the sides. He figured that would make her feel safe. "Let order some pizza. Which kind would you two like?" Uriah was good with any kind, as long as it didn't have fish. "Luna do you want stay with her so I can make the popcorn?" Unless Katya wanted him to stay. But Luna has always been her favorite, so he figured she would want Luna here with her.
Their daughter looked at Luna and then clung on to her like a little monkey girl. Luna gave Uriah a little smile, "A-Anything is fine with me."
Katya looked up at Uriah and thought for a moment. She didn't want Uriah to leave too, but she knew he would be back soon, "Pepperoni."
(Don't apologize for being sick!! We'll just say that Cyrus and Vida were already there)
Thalia saw Esmae studying her and laughed. "Even if you were free, you would never even be able to touch me." She grinned. "And as to why you're here, well, lers just say that the boss needs to…even things out. You may only call her as miss N." She grinned
Uriah smiled and nodded as he walked out of the room. He dialed Pizza Hut and told them what he wanted. Then when he hung up, he went to make the popcorn. He never liked microwave popcorn, so he always made it himself. After that he put some butter on it and headed back to the room. "Pizza will be here in a bit."
"And how can you be so confident that I can't take you?" This woman, Thalia was it? Looked like a twig, one Esmae could snap in half easily. Does she even workout? Esmae was thin, but you could tell she had muscle. "I'm enjoying our talk, but I reall want out. You've had your fun, now let me go."
(I'm really sick today, so I apologize if I don't answer really fast.)
Thalia grinned at her. "Just because one doesnt seem like much doesnt mean there isn't a need to fear them." She said. Walking over to Esmae, she felt her pulse with her fingers and did a visual evaluation of her physical state. "Yes you were the perfect guinea pig for this version if the test." She mumbled only so she could hear. She passed a button on her communication device to privately send a message to Nikona, asking, if she could free Esmase for an actual Physical examination.
Nikona, got the message and gave Thalia permission to do whatever she saw fit. Right now she was a bit busy and she would check up on Esmae later. "Heh, what now, chains, knives? I've been through all of it." There was nothing they could do that she wasn't already used to. Nikona sent another message, saying always to have one other person there, just in case Esmae tried something.
Thalia groaned loudly and buzzed for one if the guards to come in. Grumbling loudly, she walked over to Esmae and freed her from her restraints. She took a few steps back and spread her arms, grinning. "You said you could take me so come in. Let's see your stuff." She said, knowing fully well that Esmae would be much too tired and weak to attack. And even if she did manage to maintain some of her energy, Thalia had the upper hand, regardless.
Esmae slid off the table and stumbled. She still had trouble feeling her legs. Looking up she saw the smug smile on Thalia's face, she knew exactly the kind of condition she was in. "I would be a fool to take on anyone in this condition." She had to use the bed to stay standing. Her breath still short, all she wanted was to sleep. Going from waking up early to working out at four to this, it was pushing Esmae to her limits and right now she was surprising she hadn't passed out.
Luna looked to Uriah and gave him a grin. Katya had leaned against Luna and her eyes were slightly shut. Luna said softly, "G-Great. N-Now come over here."
"Even so, you wouldn't be able to take me." She grinned. "You aren't the first person to be experimented on."
Uriah got into the bed with the bowl of popcorn and turned on Aladdin. He snuggled close to Katya and put his arm around her to reach Luna. This was nice, for now this is what they need. Later he would meet up with the rest to talk about things.
"Heh, Experimented?" Esmae was in shock. Experiment's, what was this girl talking about? "I'm sorry? I-" She had no idea what to say. A sudden burst of adrenaline surged through her body and she made a dash for the door, grabbing some scissors on the way. The guard, which also wore a cloak ran after her, quickly grabbing her arm. Esmae thrashed around trying her best to get free, but nothing was working. She hit the person in the face, making the hood fall off. Fear filled her eyes. "No way." She looked over yo Thalia and shook her head. "No fucking way are you turning me into a monster!" This was worse, so much worse than she could have imagined.
Luna had a little smile on and looked down to find Katya fast asleep leaning against her side. She was glad that Katya was asleep considering the day and night the girl had had. She looked up to Uriah and gave a little head nod towards Katya and said softly, "Sh-she fell asleep."
Thalia laughed and raised her sleeve, light glinting off of it. "I told you, you can never defeat me."
"W-what?" Panther was bad, but this was a whole new level. How could people do this? Esmae's face drained of all color, and for some reason she felt sick. Tears began welling up in her eyes again. There were stronger, faster, more advanced. There was no way out, and she knew this now. Don't cry. Esmae glared up at Thalia. No weakness. "You're sick!" Mom, Dad. Please help me.
Uriah leaned back and smiled. Katya needed a good sleep and he was happy she was going to get some. "We should call the others." Now that she was asleep, this would be the perfect time to get everyone together.
