“Yeah I’d kill for some security camera footage that caught anything on the day of kidnappings.” Natalia was so use to relying on her powers to get things done. She forgot what it was like to have to investigate situations like a normal person. “Do you think anyone is holding onto any information for money, or just out of spite?” She asked as she looked over the details that Harper already had. Natalia hated to think that someone had a piece of info that could lead to. The safe recovery of the missing Metas, but she knew it was a possibility just as much as people holding back info for a payday

“Those are sometimes the hardest things to find,they could have covered up their tracks by taking them from places with very little cameras or wiped them clean.” Harper had known a few friends who dealt with those sort of things in the past and she hated that those clues were in the dust because of that. “I think that it is fair to assume that there are people out there withholding information for those reasons. I have had anonymous sources in the past go back on their word because they were paid off. Sometimes it’s out of greed and sometimes out of fear, you just have to find the ones that have been paid out of fear and gain their trust. Hopefully there is somebody like that around to help.”

Natalia hoped there was something but wouldn't be surprised. If there really wasn't any security footage whoever took the Metas were smart and went by a calculated plan. Making sure there was no security cameras was probably crucial to their plan. When setting up the ambush spot, but she held out hope that. There was a good smartian out there somewhere with available information. But it would take a lot to get them to come forward. No matter what was holding them back. "Do you have a way to track down anyone who think might have info? Or do they just come to you?"

The thought of another war starting between Metas and humans made. Natalia sick to her stomach it made her want to just to find some isolated island to call home, and never look back. Find a way to finally track down her little brother and go retrieve her mother, and live in peace with them. But they weren’t her own family anymore. She couldn’t just leave her friends after everything they had been through. Plus she made a promise and she wasn’t the type of person to go back on her word. “Yeah that would be good it might give me a better sense on where to start. I’ve been trying to locate the ones I know with my powers. But it’s not working so far which is frustrating and scary.”

Harper hated bringing up the worst thing that could happen, but she knew that it would eat her up inside if she didn’t speak of it. She knew that it would only end up getting worse before it got better and she had no idea how long that would take, all she knew is that she wanted to help as much as she could. “Sometimes we can’t rely on our powers to help, sometimes the only way to get the answers that we are looking for is either technology or books.”

Not even in her right mind did Natalia have any desire to put the neural ring on. Did she trust Erick? Yes on any day of the week with her life, but still the thought of being cut off from her powers terrified her. She’d never known the feeling of not having access to them, and wanted to keep it that way. But just as she was to tell him no and to find another way. Her eyes surveyed the bar around her taking in all the damage she caused. The look of fear on all the patrons faces, the unconscious men, and the one huddled in the corner practically sobbing. She was the one who had terrified this people, and refusing to comply would only make the situation worse.

Natalia let out a sigh “alright if that’s what it takes to make you believe me, and to calm these people down.” Grasping his arm a little tighter as he tightened his hold. Erick really was prepared to knock her out “easy I’m putting it on.” Natalia took the neural ring from him and slipped it on her wrist. The device locked on and Natalia knew her powers were being suppressed. The second she couldn’t hear anyone’s thoughts anymore. “Now do you believe me, or do you plan on dragging me down to C.A.R.M.A?”

Erick breathed a sigh of relief when he didn’t have to follow through with his threat to knock her unconscious. "Thank you Natalia. I really didn’t want this to get any more violent than it already had." Seeing her place the neural ring on herself, he finally released her, sending out a thread of biometal to collect the cuffs she’d tossed away. "I’m not going to drag you down to C.A.R.M.A but we do need to get out of here before the natives get restless.”

Tucking the buffs back onto his pouch, he released his hold on the biometal as he led her from the bar, one hand on her shoulder that was more for everyone else’s benefit. Once they’d gotten to his motorcycle, Erick released his hold on Natalia. “Alright, you want to explain to me what the fuck happened in there?”

"Me neither" she muttered under breath knowing that he might not believe that statement. Right now Natalia wasn't to sure if she trusted herself at the moment. She let out a sigh of relief when Erick told he wasn't dragging her down to C.A.R.M.A. The last thing she wanted to have to worry about was this incident going on her record.

Natalia kept her head down as he walked her out. Hoping that no one would remember her face after tonight, and that she didn't give anyone future nightmares. She turned to him apologetic after he let her go. "If I'm being honest Erick I don't know. I didn't feel like me when I was attacking those people. Something just felt off the minute I woke up this morning. It was like a voice telling me to go out and cause trouble. I know that might sound weird but it's true." She was trying to keep her cool about the situation because it really wasn't her fault. But a single tear escaped her eye. "I really hurt and terrified those people."

Natalia expected Erick to just go for brute force, and to try and breakthrough her magical barrier. The smoke bomb caught her off guard. “Really Erick a smoke bomb are you running or- ack .” Her voice was cut off abruptly as he appeared behind her and got her into a chokehold. Although the hold wasn’t strong enough to cut off her air supply. It was still uncomfortable she released her telekinetic hold on the human. Both of her hands gripping Erick’s arm just as she was getting ready to heat up her hands. He repeated her name three times in a taunting way, but whatever was said after that. Just fades away into background noise as something in Natalia seemed to snap back into place. With a dreamy look on her face she came back to her senses. Although she could remember the events that took place around her. Natalia couldn’t find a reason as to why to she did it. “Hey Erick you can relax now it’s me the real me.”

He heard Natalia’s voice above him while he traversed under the floor, a grin hidden behind the biometal mask as he rose up behind her. Keeping his arm locked around her throat, Erick shook his head when she spoke. “Sorry darlin, can’t take that chance again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Reaching into the pouch on his belt, Erick pulled out a neural ring. "If you’re really you then you’ll have no problem with me putting this neural ring on you before I let you go and we can try to figure out what happened. You going to cooperate or am I going to have to knock you out first?" He replied, shifting his arm so that he could sink in the chokehold if necessary.

The Lion’s Den | Natalia & Jaxon

nataliaofmana:

“I did enjoy myself you made such a good impression. I haven’t been able to forget about you, I’m glad I could return the favor.” She knew that there was a danger to him, but that just made her want him more. It didn’t help that he wanted her just as much as she wanted him. She leaned over placing a hand on his arm. “I got enough energy to last for days, so you ready to head out?”

Natalia’s words were exactly what Jax needed to hear, just so his ego could grow even bigger. He chuckled softly, raising his eyebrows a little as he not-so-subtly looked her over. They had definitely had fun last time.. and that mouth of hers? Well, he just had to sample that again. “So I’m unforgettable, hm?” He asked with a slight smirk, cocky as always. “I’m more than ready to head out, c’mon,” he responded, taking Natalia’s hand before leading her out of the building into the cooler air. “Your place or mine?”

Natalia contemplated for a minute on rather or not it was good idea to let him know where she lived. Her home wasn't far from the circus, but she still didn't have a good read on this guy. And it wasn't like she was going to just outright use her powers in front of him again. Plus if this was going to be a regular thing at some point. She would have to show him her place, or it would look weird. "I think my place will be fine this time. But it's outside of the city are you okay with that? No one will be able to hear you beg for sweet release." She reached up to whisper the last part in his ear. Gently biting his earlobe as she backed away.

“Well then let the celebrations commence and congratulations to a successful business.” Natalia said raising the glass of champagne before taking a sip of the drink. “My name is Natalia by the way, so what kind of business do you run?”

Originally posted by noblcedits

“Guadalupe Perez,” she offered without extending her hand. Introductions were generally awkward enough without some kind of weird, forced handshake. “And a restaurant. Besos, in Wayland Hills. It’s small, only twelve tables, but it’s mine.”

"Hey you built it yourself and it's successful that's all that matters." Natalia said before finishing her drink off, and pouring herself another. She thought to when she first started her circus thinking how hard it was in the beginning. A lot of people didn't appreciate her showing her uncaged lion off. "I'm not in the city that much anymore, but I'll make sure to check it out next time."

@jaxon-landry

It didn't take long for Natalia to figure out just exactly. Which H.A.M.E.R agent probably sold her out, and planned the ambush on her circus. Jaxon Laundry's face was plastered in the center of her reason wall. It all started with him which made sense considering how fond she was of him. Five years ago or at least how fond she was of the amazing sex she had with him. At some point he found out the truth and that was the beginning of her downfall. Natalia wanted answers she wanted to know why. And she was going to find out tonight because she didn't know. How long this future time jump was going to last, and she wasn't going to lose this opportunity.

It didn't take her long too locate him with her dowsing. She found in the middle of doing what he did best poisoning other Metas. The poor guy was being held down by two other agents as Jaxon approached him with the needle. Natalia threw both her hands out gripping the agents with her telekinesis. A waving motion of her hands sent them flying back into the wall. The motions continued till their bodies crumpled. Natalia let them drop to the ground "get out of here buddy." She ordered the Meta waiting till he scrambled to his feet and ran from the alley.

She threw up a barrier of magical energy trapping Jaxon inside with her. Mostly to keep him from chasing down the Meta, but also to make sure he couldn't escape this conversation. Not without a fight at least "hey pretty boy looks like it's just me and you. Like it should've always been I can't say that it's been long time. Because I'm pretty sure you're my obsession these days. But this time it's not because of the mind blowing sex. I'm pretty sure I want you dead, and it's time we talked about why."

Waking up in the future had certainly been... strange... but nothing surprised Jax anymore when it came to Metas. He’d managed to figure out exactly what was going on his life, surprised but pleased that he’d found a way to get on the police force. That was definitely useful for gaining information and knowledge about metas that needed curing. Jaxon had adapted quickly to his future lifestyle, thrilled that H.A.M.E.R was thriving and their work was continuing at a faster rate than he could’ve ever even imagined. It was incredible.

He’d opted to go out on another meta-hunting mission, tracking down ones that he knew were easy enough targets with the help of other H.A.M.E.R members. They’d managed to overpower and somewhat subdue a meta, with Jaxon about to inject him with the cure. That would be another filthy abomination off the streets. “You can thank me for this later,” Jax muttered from beneath his mask as he moved in closer, only to be very rudely interrupted, watching the other H.A.M.E.R members as they were thrown against the walls and knocked unconscious. Great.

Standing up straight, Jaxon sighed, recognising the voice straight away. Natalia. She wasn’t stupid at all, she knew it was him. What was the point of denying it? Once the other meta had scrambled off, Jax put the cap on the needle, tucked it away safely in his pocket and turned to face Natalia, pulling off his mask and tossing it to the floor. He was trapped, thanks to her abilities, but perhaps he could talk his way out of it. “Are you sure it’s not because of the mind-blowing sex? I like to think I’m pretty memorable,” he chuckled. “C’mon then.. let’s talk.”

Natalia really wasn't in the mood for talking. Not with the future she woke up to, but she thought that she'd be able to keep her emotions in check. Long enough to have a semi-decent conversation with Jaxon, but the minute he took his mask off. Revealing his face with his usual confidence Natalia couldn't stop herself. Before she realized it she had thrown out her hand, and sent a gust of wind right towards him. He had body armor on so it wasn't like the attack would actually hurt him.

"I really wish it was because of the sex. God I was so fucking stupid if I'd just listened to all warning signs that I got. That day I read your mind none of this would've happened." She couldn't be too sure of that considering she ran a circus where she put her powers on display. But now they would never know how things could've been different. "Did you kill Ari yourself? Because I can't exactly remember how the whole ambush you planned went down. Why me Jaxon?" A few tears slipped from her eyes as it really settled in that Ari was dead. The lion had been with her since she rescued you. He saved her life back in the Nephilim war, and when the time came. She was unable to do the same.

@xastcriiax Manny

These past five years hadn't been kind to Natalia at all as far as she could tell. Her circus was shutdown, Ari died defending her a H.A.M.E.R agent during an ambush, she went into hiding with her mom for two years. Until Raphael got cured by H.A.M.E.R and then she returned to help him. Which led to her getting roped back into war by joining the new revamped Rebel Army, but that just wasn't enough for her. Natalia finally allied herself with the Nephilim after resisting for so long. Uriel was finally able to entice her by appealing to her need to end this war once and for all. C.A.R.M.A and the Rebels had their chance, but all they did was open the door for H.A.M.E.R.

When the time came the Nephilim would end this war once and for all. And the Metas would be the one to come out on top. The only reason Natalia knew all of this was because she had mapped out everything. That had happened to her on a wall in her room in her unfamiliar apartment. Above the wall was the words "my reason" looking like. It had been written in blood she hoped future her wasn't that dramatic and it was paint. She was still staring at the wall trying to take all the knowledge in. When she heard a knock on her door. Her dowsing picked up on the life energy. It was none other than Manny there was another hard knock. The door actually shook from impact.

Natalia didn't bother going over to open it. With a flick of her finger the lock came undone, and the door was shoved open. "Well I guess I got C.A.R.M.A to blame for this time jump huh." She quipped with a light chuckle turning around. She was going in for a friendly hug but paused when she saw how devastated he looked. "Manny what's wrong?"

Future Bio Event: Natalia Moretti

Age: 29

Status: Alive/Metahuman

Affiliation: Rebel Army/Nephilim

Natalia did her best to fight the war against H.A.M.E.R in the beginning. But as time went on and she witnessed more of her friends be cured. She came to believed that there was no place in this world for Metahumans anymore. Natalia was forced to shutdown her circus after H.A.M.E.R attempted to ambush her at one of her shows. A couple of civilians got hurt and she almost got captured.

After the attack on her circus she gave her apologies, and left Pansaw and went back home to her mom. It took some begging but she convinced her mom to run away with her, and they dropped off the grid for two years.

Natalia would've stay gone too if Raphael hadn't got captured and cured by H.A.M.E.R. She returned to Pansaw to avenge what was done to him, and all the other Metas.

At first she only allied herself with the Rebel Army going on missions. But Uriel was able to lure into joining up with the Nephilim as a failsafe plan. In case the Rebels weren't enough to take H.A.M.E.R down, and she had to resort to other means.

“There will always be something won’t there?” Natalia mused aloud. “A reason for another war, or to just hate someone else.” She wanted to believe that if everyone was a Meta, then the violence would just stop. But the more she thought about it the more she realized just how right Harper was. Even now after all these years Metas were still divided on some issues. Some still believed in the Nephilim’s cause, some felt like the Hero Squad shouldn’t be running around playing hero, and some believed that the Rebels didn’t do enough and just gave in to C.A.R.M.A.

“I guess all we really can do is do our best to keep the peace, and protect our loved ones. So do you have leads on the missing Metas?” She asked wanting to change the conservation.

“Yeah I guess that you are right, there is always going to be something and sadly it will take a while to stop them.”She said with sadness filling her voice as she spoke to her. She knew that if everyone had abilities there still would be ones wanting more, just like humans, it wouldn’t stop and it scared her to bits. “Yeah I guess that’s all we can do for now. I have all the information that I have been given and that I have found out on my laptop if you wish to see it.”

The thought of another war starting between Metas and humans made. Natalia sick to her stomach it made her want to just to find some isolated island to call home, and never look back. Find a way to finally track down her little brother and go retrieve her mother, and live in peace with them. But they weren't her own family anymore.

The Lion’s Den | Natalia & Jaxon

nataliaofmana:

“Oh we definitely had a lot of fun last time so much I do want more.” Natalia agreed with a smirk looking in over with a hunger in her eyes. Her one night stand with him might have to become a regular thing. She took a sip of her drink settling back into her chair. “I’m all down for more fun so do you want to do skip the pleasantries, and go straight for it. Or do you need food or something for energy? Because it will be a long night indeed.”

Jax very much enjoyed a bold woman, and Natalia was just that. He grinned at her words, noticing the way she looked at him and not minding in the slightest – in fact, he rather enjoyed being the object of such a gorgeous woman’s desire. “Oh, I’m good on the energy front. Got plenty of that,” he chuckled. “I’m very flattered that you’re so eager to get me naked again,” Jax purred with a smirk, wetting his lips a little. “Must’ve really enjoyed yourself last time, huh? I certainly enjoyed myself.”

"I did enjoy myself you made such a good impression. I haven't been able to forget about you, I'm glad I could return the favor." She knew that there was a danger to him, but that just made her want him more. It didn't help that he wanted her just as much as she wanted him. She leaned over placing a hand on his arm. "I got enough energy to last for days, so you ready to head out?"

#jaxon #the lion's den

nataliaofmana:

“Illusions sound like an awesome ability I kinda feel cheated that it’s not in my arsenal.” Natalia replied with a light chuckle it would be a awesome ability to have, but she had enough up her sleeve. She gave Harper a small nod as she listened to the reporter talk about the frustrations that. Metas everywhere were still dealing with even after a peace treaty. “Honestly I think most humans do understand that, but then there’s that twenty-five percent that doesn’t. They’ll always hate us or maybe it’s envy if we lived in a world. Where everybody got powers this probably wouldn’t be happening.”

“It really can come in handy it’s just the migraines that are the downfall so I tend to only use it when I really need it and not overdo it or wear myself out.” She said with a gentle chuckle. She held onto her mug as she listened to her, she knew there were people that were out there that hated metas and she really couldn’t understand their reasoning. “I think that you are right about that, but if that was the case I think that there would still be envy, some people comparing their powers to some that they see are better and jealous that it doesn’t belong to them.”

"There will always be something won't there?" Natalia mused aloud. "A reason for another war, or to just hate someone else." She wanted to believe that if everyone was a Meta, then the violence would just stop. But the more she thought about it the more she realized just how right Harper was. Even now after all these years Metas were still divided on some issues.

nataliaofmana:

“Yeah well I’m not feeling too peaceful right now” Natalia threw back. Trying to summon enough enough wind to create a wall around her. But considering she wasn’t surrounded by nature it was pretty hard and Erick came flying at her. So instead she threw out her hands to generate a magical wall to stop his attack. “You know what Erick I don’t think you have it in you to actually hurt me.” She said with a small smirk, “maybe you need some encouragement.” Her eyes scanning the area for a potential victim and landing on one of the guys. She tormented earlier he was just starting to stir. Natalia reached out with her telekinesis and pulled him towards her. Ignoring his cries for mercy “you better step up your game Erick.”

Erick grunted when he slammed up against the magical barrier, a deep growl reverberating in his chest. "Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness Natalia.” It would take him too long to try to batter his way through her shield, so he was going to have to try something creative. Snatching one of the smoke grenades off his belt, Erick popped it and dropped it at his feet. As the smoke filled the room Erick went amorphous, slipping between the slats of the floor. He was going to make her pay for this, he hated doing this. It made him feel weird all day after. Slipping back up through the cracks, Erick solidified behind Natalia and locked her in a chokehold. "Natalia, Natalia, Natalia. You’re going to have to try harder than that to beat me.“

Natalia expected Erick to just go for brute force, and to try and breakthrough her magical barrier. The smoke bomb caught her off guard. "Really Erick a smoke bomb are you running or- ack ." Her voice was cut off abruptly as he appeared behind her and got her into a chokehold. Although the hold wasn't strong enough to cut off her air supply.

With a dreamy look on her face she came back to her senses. Although she could remember the events that took place around her. Natalia couldn't find a reason as to why to she did it. "Hey Erick you can relax now it's me the real me."

“Well it was easier to control than some of the others. I just wish there was an off switch sometimes there are just somethings. That aren’t meant to be heard” she said with a small smile. “So I’m taking it that you’re a Meta too. Is that why you got stuck with the workload of this case alone?” Natalia couldn’t imagine what it was like to be told that she had to investigate the abductions. She was only involved because she wanted to be. Did Harper get the same choice? “Well we have to look after each other no one else is going to do it. Not saying that human law enforcement aren’t doing their jobs or anything. Just that some of them do still fear us and miss the old days. When C.A.R.M.A treated us like weapons that need to be controlled. Not everyone was a fan of the treaty.”

“I would say so, an off switch for certain things would be amazing if that were the case.” She said before nodding her head in reply to her question. “I can create illusions to a certain size before migraine central takes over. I guess that was the reason, I mean there are other metas but I guess they chose me for a reason.” Harper shrugged her shoulders. She had been pondering why she was given the story but now she really had no other choice to stay on it. “I find it sad that some of them are scared of us, we just want to live our lives just as much as they do.” There was a bit of sadness in her voice as she spoke to her. “That’s the thing, we aren’t weapons, I know some of us metas use abilities for bad reasons but not all of us are like that, I really wish some of them could see that.”

"Illusions sound like an awesome ability I kinda feel cheated that it's not in my arsenal." Natalia replied with a light chuckle it would be a awesome ability to have, but she had enough up her sleeve.

Where everybody got powers this probably wouldn't be happening."

nataliaofmana:

“I kind of overheard your problems with your job. Not the ones you voice aloud but the other ones” she tapped her forehead. Hoping that Harper would catch her hint “sorry in advance it’s not something I can turn off. But two of those missing Metas are good friends, and I want to find them along with the other two. Of course but my locating powers aren’t enough and I have no real resources. But you do and it looks like you could use some help.”

Harper looked at her for a moment before her eyes widened with realisation with what she meant. “Oh you’re a meta aswell, that must be a tough power to control.” She said as she looked at her. “Ah I think I am piecing this puzzle together. I am worried so much about the missing metas even when I don’t really know them. I will be more than happy to help you out with finding them.” She said without a second thought.

"Well it was easier to control than some of the others. I just wish there was an off switch sometimes there are just somethings. That aren't meant to be heard" she said with a small smile. "So I'm taking it that you're a Meta too. Is that why you got stuck with the workload of this case alone?"

Just that some of them do still fear us and miss the old days. When C.A.R.M.A treated us like weapons that need to be controlled. Not everyone was a fan of the treaty."

The Lion’s Den | Natalia & Jaxon

“No not really it’s been the quiet life for me these past couple of weeks. Not by choice of course the city been going crazy enforcing so many rules.” She told him tracing the rim of her glass, “and after what happened at the Madhouse fight. I don’t see them letting up” she had focused her telepathy on Jaxon. The minute she saw him and didn’t hear anything incriminating at all. So maybe she got the wrong impression from him the first night. It didn’t really matter because she had a feeling that tonight. Both of them would know where the other stood.

Jax gave a small smile and sipped at his drink, leaning against the bar. “Mm, the city has been crazy,” he murmured in agreement, taking yet another mouthful of alcohol, feeling the warmth of the whisky. It was useful having gadgets to protect his mind from any prying metas – he couldn’t risk any mind-readers finding out that he was part of the Madhouse mayhem. To change the subject, Jaxon gave another smile, this time a little bigger than before. “We had fun last time, didn’t we? Perhaps we could have some more fun,” he suggested with a grin, looking Natalia over with a not-so-subtle glance.

"Oh we definitely had a lot of fun last time so much I do want more." Natalia agreed with a smirk looking in over with a hunger in her eyes. Her one night stand with him might have to become a regular thing. She took a sip of her drink settling back into her chair. "I'm all down for more fun so do you want to do skip the pleasantries, and go straight for it. Or do you need food or something for energy? Because it will be a long night indeed."
