Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'

[Nox]

Everything happened too quickly. Aurora remembered him at first sight, why couldn't this have happened earlier, when they both got here, he had many questions, but then Aurora punched him in the chest. "And that's for blowing a whole in the plane."


Nox blinked at her, his world shattered as the memories flooded in. They had been fighting, he was so angry at her, over what he didn't know but he was angry he wanted to yell. He grabbed her arm and the power flowed through him, he wanted to amplify his voice. But the weave didn't work, the concept had been simple, but it grew exponentially with his anger, it punched a hole in the side of the plane. He wasn't buckled in. It sucked him out, he was free falling, he could see the ground rushing up, and the pain. Holy hell the pain.

Aurora watched him, as the memories had come back, she hugged him tightly and it was all that Nox could do to contain the emotions running through his head. The pain, the sadness, the anger, people dead because he was stupid. Nox didn't cry, not even when his mother had died, but since the plane crashed, and he had relived so many memories he wanted to. He held his sister tight, she was alive, she could have died, he should have. All those people dead because of him. He had to sit down. Nox found Aurora's chair and pulled her with him. She cooed after him, like a lost child, and right now he didn't care. She handed him her beer which he dutifully drank.

And being the good sister that she was she changed the topic. Not necessarily a great topic. But still a new one. Nox listened to the retelling of their meeting. He still wanted to know why she was with his friends. But that could wait.

Bas mentioned the monsters, and he knew he had to talk to Aurora about that, to make her official too, it was their reason for coming to Moscow. He also wanted to tell her about Aria. But she asked first in that oh my god my brother has a girlfriend voice she's used like twice.

He grinned back at his sister from across the table. "Aria was with the three of us when we took down the monsters Bas spoke of. She helped me remember things. She's been a big help, we go hunting together, we train together."
He leaned forward and waggled his index finger at her. "And no she's not my girlfriend. I don't think her boyfriend would care too much for the implication. Dangerous and gorgeous but off limits."
He also said that for the benefits of the other two here. He'd defend Aria's honor as easily as he would Aurora's. It was a surprise to him, that thought that way.

He leaned back in his chair lifting it off it's front legs again. "You said someplace we can practice."
He grinned at his sister, "I'd like to see that place. We've been meaning to."
He turned to his friends. "You game?"
