Max wanna meet IX, plz.

"Hey Superior." I don't think she was even surprised when I appeared out of nowhere behind her.

"Hello III."
We both stood, unmoving and silent, for the longest time. I guess I was at a bit of a loss at what to do, considering I had expected a full-scale ambush/assault/capture just from showing my face around CO again. I finally remembered why I was crazy enough to risk ambush/assault/capture, and got back to the point.

"Superior, do we have a new member?"

She didn't answer at first. I guesses that she was either wondering how the heck I knew, or why in the world would I think that. Depended on the answer.

"Yes we do, Max."

I slight smile beamed briefly on my face. My number meant I was in trouble for something. Max was a good sign.

"Well, I'm gonna go on a hunch here, but I'm gonna guess he controls light..." No reaction. "Am I right?"

I could tell Nexan was being cautious, trying to predict my reaction. She should know by now that I was unpredictable. She seemed to remember such and took the risk.

"Yes, he does."

"He..." I thought aloud. "Good. Can't stand another girl member. There all crazy."

Wow, that was ironic of me.

Perhaps because I didn't explode, or maybe just the fact that I appeared sane, but Nexan was confused.

"Does it not bug you that his power's light!?" It was a question I had just recently asked myself. Like.... 5 seconds ago, really.

"Well, it all depends on what the guy's like. I mean, if he's anything like Braxyd, he's as good as dead. If he's not, he might just have a chance to live longer than a fly trapped in a sider web. You know, of a genuinely hungry spider..." I think I was over explaining it all, so I stopped there.

Nexan looked at me. Just from that she knew a bit too much for my own comfort. She could tell by my sunken, dark-circled eyes that I hadn't slept in forever, she could tell by the inconsistent dilating of my eyes that I was in no condition to be up and about, and I was sure my constant twitching was a sign of my insanity; or perhaps just paranoia.

But despite it all, I pulled a funny face and caused her mouth to twitch into a smile. I smiled back.

"Alright, alright," Nexan fixed me with a serious glare, but I kept right on beaming. "I'll go take you to meet IX. Oh and Max?"

"Yeeeeeees?"

"Are you going to sty for the meeting" There was a hint of dread in her voice.

I gave a fiendish laugh. "Wouldn't miss it!
