March 8th, 2015 - 5:30PMLina felt like a rat trapped in a... cage. She didn't know a better metaphor for what she was thinking of, so there it was. Honestly though, almost an entire month in this muggle complex with no healing potions had been like an itch under the red head's skin. On top of her overwhelming amount of concern for Cedric continued to build until Lina felt like she really was going to explode and kill someone with her bare hands. She had thought about it a number of times until the day before, when she had suddenly received a very interesting package in her room, under her pillow. She knew that it was just a matter of time until she was contacted from the Syndicate, she just hadn't expected it to take so long. Thankfully the package had been slim due to some charms and whoever had left it there had left her some actual things to work with. A few healing potions, a couple of spare wands, and various charms. Along with a note telling her everything she needed about a guy named Orion, including a picture of the kid. From there it was all too easy for Lina to set up what she needed to get Ced the hell out of this place. First she organized the items in the package and then burned the note, picture, and package after remembering everything she needed to. Then she took a healing potion for her leg and cracked the cast open with one of the wands. She re-sealed it, but only after hiding everything else in the cast with a number of charms that she could manage. Mostly things that made the items smaller, or her cast larger on the inside than it looked. Then she sealed the outer layer on the thing and tucked the second wand into the top for where she could grab it. Then she went about finding and speaking to this Orion guy. Considering that she had been a model prisoner for the duration of the previous month, Lina had been given a bit of leeway around the general area, so she wandered normally. Today, she wandered with a purpose. Moving her crutches around, she circled the area, trying to find the stupid idiot. It took her awhile, mostly because she felt like a lumbering idiot with the cast on, but she found him and managed to corner him in a hallway by hobbling a little bit quicker than she would have liked with some of those charms in her cast. "Orion, right?" All she had to do was scare the kid well enough to give her what she needed in order to pull off the plan that had been suggested to her. Her first stop was to get into the cell to talk to Ced and drop off at least the extra wand. And perhaps get his opinion on how the hell to pull off a break out, but that was mostly because she didn't know what state he would be in. "I know you had really good grades in potions in school, think you could brew me up a healing potion so I don't have to walk around in this dumb cast anymore?" Hopefully that would get him thinking in the right direction. If not she'd swing a crutch at him.

"You stupid, festering, pox laden, idiotic muggle cow! How many times have I instructed you to NOT touch ANYTHING in my work area? You don't even have the brains to understand the magnitude of the mess you've just caused!"
"Well I know enough to speak to HR about this abuse, mister high and mighty a**hole! I don't need to listen to you whine daily about 'muggle this' and 'muggle that' NOR do I need you bossing me about! I have a son older than you and HE knows how to respect his elders!"
"Your son wouldn't know the back end of a kneazle from his knees, if he's anything like you!"
Officiously, Orion swirled away from the maddened muggle woman. She had ruined a month of work on the Wolf's Bane potion. Febreeze...what the hell was it? Apparently an air freshening potion of some sort. The particulate spray had settled into his open cauldron and completely ruined what should have been a draught of relief for McGarret. Now, it was a poisonous soup that would do more harm than good. Orion could not ethically give that to his...friend?...no, fellow wizard was better for a title.
In his enraged state, Orion nearly collided with the witch that he was only moderately familiar with. She was the wolf's latest red headed escapade and so far, the one most likely to get in trouble. The look of earnest determination on her face betrayed her real reason for finding him. He sighed and looked about. There were no higher up officials nearby. The office was shutting down. They would have to be quick.
"I imagine you want more than just relief from the cast...if I get into trouble for this I am blaming you squarely and you can talk to Sullivan about why I was compromised. Other than that, follow me. We will get you free of that burden quickly."
He led her to an empty office room, closed the door, and pulled the blinds on the window. he scanned her face with tense gold eyes.
"...you are aware tonight is the full moon, yes? He's not going to be safe, especially since that dragon ooze secretary Nancy decided to be an idiot with the wolf's bane. Jones and Klaus will be by later tonight to observe him, lending another layer of danger."
He didn't want to do this. He really didn't. Then again, her scowl said it was the safer of his options.

She had been given a heads up that this kid was the back end of a troll. Whoever had given her that description had been correct, because he had an attitude to match any pureblooded idiot she had ever met in her life. Which meant that Lina instantly hated him and his attitude, and wanted to toss him straight out a window on principle. Thankfully for him, she had more important things to handle than teaching a snot nosed brat a couple of lessons in humility.
"If you get in trouble for it, then it's your job to get out of that trouble." Her words were curt and straight forward. She didn't have time to put up with his bull. "That's part of being an adult, kid. Now, I don't want the cast off. I understand what day it is. I need to see and speak to Ced now." She looked at him calmly in the room they were in, looking at the closed blinds and the closed door. He really had put himself in a tight spot, hadn't he? Never mind that she had a cast on. She could kick his rear around the room far before help came, and make sure he'd regret every last minute of it.
"I've been given permission to do whatever I want to you if you don't get me in the same room as Ced before night falls." So that part was a lie, but this guy didn't know her. He didn't know anything about her tactics or what was going on. She let a smile slowly creep up on her lips. "And just in case you didn't know, my mother? She does torture for Death Eaters, da? I have learned some... very interesting things." That was actually the truth, but Lina purposefully laid on her Russian accent to drive the point home. She hadn't been given permission to do any of that, but Lina was done being nice. She was even done waiting around for the Syndicate to mount a rescue mission. Lina was getting Ced and her out of here as soon as possible, but Ced's freedom was more important than her own. If he was free, then everything would be alright.
"Now, when can you get me in?" Because heaven help this poor sod if he couldn't. Lina had two wands and she had learned terrible things to her mother. She had just never used them on anyone before. Only had them used on her. Still, she was more than willing to try if it got her what she wanted. She leveled him with that blue green stare, hoping that she was convincing enough to put a fire under his rear. Because she was desperate. And desperate people were known for doing crazy things. But there was a number of seriously crazy things that an ex-professional quidditch player turned thief and con artist could manage with the charms and potions she had in her cast. This was her first gambit, not her last, and things would only get worse for him if he didn't agree.

As much as any 120 pound gangly teenager could, Orion drew himself up into an approximation of ruffled indignation. He was a Burgess, a man of honor, an agent of the Syndicate a-a-...how dare she threaten him with falsehoods and half truths!
"Do you take me for a fool? Don't answer that, I can see by your face you do. I brought you in here to do a disillusionment charm on you. This office has two doors. Those who saw us enter will assume you left from the other door, those who see me leave will not know you were there. Give me SOME credit please, as an agent of the...city." He cleared his throat, acutely aware that he almost spoke their agency's name. It wouldn't have mattered, but he was keen on propriety and if they were part of a secret society, it needed to remain a secret.
He brushed nonexistent dust off the front of his robes, a habit of discomfort. A glance at the woman preceded his words.
"I assume you're ready now, so don't assault me for casting the invisibility charm on you. Now, come. Follow my lead and don't do anything rash."
He waited for her word before casting the spell. For good measure, he added a silencing spell so that the thump of her cast would not alert the guards and office workers of her presence. He beckoned her to follow him and began the winding trip to the lower basement levels. Along the way, he disentangled the curses and charms that protected the hallway from intruders or escapees. Jones had told him that they were necessary for safety. Orion had known then she meant to keep prisoners, and yet he'd done the work anyway instead of merely making it look like it. Who knew if there were other agents in this government building who weren't Syndicate wizards? He didn't know, nor did he care to find out.
The journey was longer than one would think. Down a lift, through another set of cubicles, down a flight of stairs, through a steel door, through an airlock, and then another set of stairs. Finally, a steel door with AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY emblazoned across it stood between them and the cell room. Orion unlocked it and led Lina through. Hopefully she was still with him; He smiled at the night guard who immediately challenged him.
"Burgess, what are you doing down here?"
"Delivering the potion he needs to keep from becoming a monster."
"You mean even MORE of a monster right? Cripes, I don't know how that would even be possible..."
"There are many strange things in this world you would not believe. They'd...well, stupefy you."
Orion's eyes followed the guard's slump. Knocked out cold with a well delivered spell. The teen sighed happily and continued down the concrete hallway to the plexi-glass box.
Cedric sat on the floor, back to the wall facing them. He was meditating, it appeared. Without turning, the man addressed Orion with a rough voice an octave lower than normal.
"About damn time you brought the potion. And..." He shook his head like he was trying to dispel a fly. His head cocked to the side.
"...Lina?"
Orion allowed the spells concealing her to drop, then melted back away from the scene to make sure they'd not be interrupted by muggles.

It was hard for her to hear that kind of voice and not want to punch the guy in the face for it. Like, really punch him in the face. He sounded so much like her relatives that she wanted to hit him repeatedly with her crutches. But... it seemed like he wasn't all that bad, despite that air of ruffled feathers, he went ahead and agreed to what she needed. Lina couldn't help the rueful chuckle that escaped her when he said that he was due some credit. Fine. As long as she got what she needed, he could crown himself the Queen of England for all the red head cared.
She nodded to give him the go ahead to place the charms on her, even silently giving him a bit of general respect for casting the second charm on her cast. It was a little difficult to avoid everything around them with her cast, but the red head managed to keep up with the teenager. She didn't even hit the night guard with her crutches, though the need to was certainly almost overwhelming. All she had to do was remind herself that she was about to see Ced and that everything would be okay. She couldn't punch everyone in the face and despite the fact that that was such a novel thought for Lina, she merely gritted her teeth and kept moving.
The door to Ced's cell opened and Lina shuffled through. Her eyes were instantly drawn to the man, trying to take in all the details of his figure at once. He had lost more weight since the last time she had seen him, which was concerning. But he knew she was there even before the spells dropped. A smile appeared on her lips, Lina couldn't help it, she barely glanced at Orion as he left and Lina took a step forward, awkwardly moving on the leg covered in a cast.
She was going to say something, but the words just sort of died on her lips. Instead she moved slowly to the side, still staring at him as if she was looking over her old favorite broom after a rough Quidditch match, trying to figure out where all the new scrapes were so she could somehow make them better. But some magic and a bit of wood polish weren't going to fix Cedric. He needed food, time to rest, and most of all, needed to get the hell out of here.
"Long time no see, Ced." There was warmth in her voice, even if it was strained. Lina didn't know the state of mind he was in, but there wouldn't be any fear in her scent. There had never been any amount of fear from Lina when it came to dealing with Ced, not from that first meeting in that house, to the time she was standing next to him fully transformed, to now. She trusted him. She would always trust him. But she was worried over what had been done to him. "They're not feeding you enough." It was a quiet comment as she moved closer to him, one hand reaching out to tug lightly on his shirt. It didn't fit the way it was supposed to and that was a real shame. She had always admired his figure before. They'd just have to feed him properly when they got out of here. She'd make sure he had a good breakfast in the morning, enough to feed three men. "Вы готовы? (Are you ready?)" She spoke carefully in Russian, hoping that Cedric would remember some of the things she had taught him in the past.

All of his bones were on fire. Internal organs kept shifting. Pain kept lancing through his joints. The shift would start soon. Cedric stood gracefully and padded to the glass between him and the woman he loved. His eyes were molten yellow at the heat and rage dancing through his body. What was he supposed to say to her? He didn't smell the potion Orion was supposed to have brought. That could only mean that he didn't have it. He put his hand on the glass. Unblinking and outwardly unemotional, he studied the face just outside of his confinement. Inwardly, he was anything but unemotional.
She was here. He had known she was captured by the muggles. Had known they were keeping her. Still, she was here and he wanted to kill them for keeping her here. He wanted to kill whomever in the Syndicate did not get her the rescue she needed. Had not given her the supplies to escape sooner. He'd kill the world for her. His head tilted again at her questions. Slow, deliberate. He burned inside, all the way from his feet to his scalp. He had made himself a promise. What was it he was going to say to her when he saw her again?
"...missed you. " No, that wasn't it. His face flinched when something internal tightened unexpectedly. "...Love, you need to leave. Things will get bad. I don't know how bad."
No Wolf's Bane potion. He hadn't shifted like that since his first shift. He gritted his teeth but kept his eyes on his girl. The roots of his hair heralded his change, going from dirty blond to black. The soles of his feet ached and begged him for release. There wouldn't be any tonight. It was going to be painful, but he had Lina.

Funny how similar their thoughts were. Lina was willing to burn the world to the ground if it meant that Ced was safe. She smiled up at him slightly when he said he missed her, but there was a note of confusion when he called her Love. Just a nickname. It was just a nickname he probably called a number of people. Nothing special. Besides, she didn't have time to sort through what her emotions or feelings were. It was time for action, not time for talking.
A snort escaped the red head. She had finally found him and managed to get in his cell, she wasn't going to leave unless the muggles pulled her out of the room or she really needed to leave. She wasn't going to leave just because he was about to turn, though the Russian didn't understand the difference between this change and any other. Instead she bent slightly and pulled the wand out of her cast, tapping it to the plaster to crack it open with a spell. She moved carefully, pulling her leg out of the cast and rummaging around for the potions and charms that she had hidden in there.
"I'm not going anywhere. You can't make me." There was a light in her eyes that hadn't been there moments before, a tease as she repeated the words she had sort of said in their first meeting. Instead, Lina held the other wand out for him to see and carefully sorted through the potions, making sure to keep her back to the camera she saw and cover the lot of it with her hair so that it couldn't actually pick up any of the other items. These muggles would know what a wand was, but she needed to figure out which of the charms she was going to use first to break them out.
"We just have to make a plan and I'll get you home." She glanced up to see the pain in his face and her own clouded with concern. "I have a potion for pain left. I had to take one for my leg, da? But..." Maybe she shouldn't have. If he was hurting, maybe she had saved it. Lina frowned slightly and looked back down, trying to come up with a plan on the fly. Her first idea was just to burst out of the building with some explosions and make a run for it. Now that her leg was better she could run along the rooftops easily and with Ced in his giant wolf form could easily keep up with the pace she set. "Tell me what to do, Ced. Besides leave you here. That'll happen over my dead body, da?"

She didn't understand. She didn't understand the change or his words. It was too late to make her understand, but he needed to keep her safe. Trembles started in his legs and jaws. He backed away from her, never taking his eyes off of her as his teeth chattered with the effort to restrain the animalistic rage growing in him. It would overtake him and she would be in the killing path. He needed to...to...too late.
A grunt of of pain escaped him and he groped at his torso. His ribs were reshaping themselves before there was musculature to support them. He snarled and gasped in pain, doubling over as muscle piled onto his frame, chased by the prickling of his black pelt. Horrid snaps of bone breaking and healing mixed with canine growls and yelps. A deep popping crack echoed as Cedric felt his hips break and realign.
He crouched, silent finally. The eager trembling of a hunting predator was all that was left of the previous pain. The eyes of the black garou were devoid of any human recognition or emotion. The flat yellow hunger watched Lina like prey.

He didn't even reply. Then suddenly he was moving away from her and she lifted herself towards the glass, trying to understand what the hell he was talking about. He twitched and moved and suddenly Lina realized that something was terribly wrong. She wanted to call out for help but she didn't even know if help would be able to get there in time. Or if the muggles knew how to help him. Considering what the night guard had said outside of the room, she couldn't trust them to keep Ced safe. They'd more than likely shoot him on the spot instead of trying to restrain him.
Lina didn't flinch from that gaze, instead she kept her eyes on him and stood there calmly. Her fingers were tight around the wand in her hand, wishing that it had been her own because the magic would be stronger and steadier then. "Cedric." She breathed out his name and took a step towards the glass, pressing her free hand against it as she spoke. "Come on, Ced." Despite the fact that she knew she could bust them both out right now, she suddenly wasn't so sure that was what she needed to do.
He looked as if he'd come after her. As if he wanted to attack her. And Lina knew this wasn't the Ced she knew. He was someone else. Something else without that potion. The question was, what was she to do. She needed to get him out. She needed to keep his attention on her. She needed... she needed to lead him on a merry chase that would take him through the night and through his transformation. Already she had a plan forming in her mind and while it was dangerous, she would have to trust her own ability to survive to get him out.
A smile appeared on her lips and she spoke to him as if he was still in his human form, standing right in front of her. "Don't worry, big guy. I'm going to get you out of here. We're going to have a good breakfast together tomorrow." Funny, how the idea of a silly breakfast could bring her peace. Even if it was just a fleeting dream. She took a step back and bent over the supplies, no longer caring if someone saw them through the camera. She would have very little time before the muggles came looking for him anyway. Step one was going to make sure she could get out of the building. Step two was making sure that Ced only came after her and not someone else. She might have to hit him with some spells to make him angry, but she was sure the big guy would understand in the morning. Nothing she did would actually harm him, just frustrate him. Step three was staying alive through the night. That would be the hardest part, but she'd be able to manage. The red head picked up the potion designed to explode after contact with air and looked at the wall next to her. Was this facing the outside, or yet another corridor in this maze of a building. She had no idea. She glanced at Ced and bit down on her bottom lip, getting ready to do one of the most dangerous things in her life.
Sadly, before Lina had a chance to slam the potion against the wall, the door behind her opened to let the teenager back in. He was startled by what was going on and spoke before she had a chance to react. Don't. She opened her mouth to say something back. Don't move. Don't set him free yet. Just stay very, VERY, still. Give him time to get control of himself. Lina froze, glancing over at Cedric to see if there had been any changes in the giant form since she had decided on a course of action.

The tantalizing human was just within leaping distance. Carefully, carefully, if he just crept a little closer he could spring. The black wolf did just that, slowly moving one paw at a time. Fortune smiled on him when another human came into the room, distracting his prey. She glanced away and he sprang, jaws wide to snap, kill, feed.
He slammed into the heavy plexiglass and snarled in rage. Prey forgotten, he went into a frenzy of clawing to try and break the barrier that kept him from his hunt.
The wolf roared in frustration and paced along the glass, rearing up and slamming into the barrier every few feet to test its strength. The box held all along the perimeter which served only to fuel the rage and frustration in the beast. Five feet tall at the shoulder, there wasn't much room for him to vent his frustrations. He stood again and raked his claws down the height of the wall, howling his rage. How dare they trap him? How dare they keep him from running. He would kill them all if only he had the chance!
The cot in the cell became victim to his frustrations. The linens were shredded quickly and the metal frame abused by the powerful molars. His fury didn't abate even when the frame was nothing more than twisted steel. He slammed again into the walls, moaning a hunting growl that underlined his rage.

Lina turned to look at Ced just to realize exactly how close he had gotten in the seconds that had passed between Orion busting through and stopping her. Ced slammed into the plexiglass, snarling as he tried to attack her and Lina felt fear hit her. Actual fear that tickled her spine and drenched her joy at finding Ced with a bucket of ice. She was frozen in that spot, watching the wolf move around the room and destroy the cot that had been there.
She swayed backward for a second, attempting to figure out what she was supposed to do from here. She was at a loss for words, mostly because she had never seen this kind of aggression from him before. In any way, shape, or form. The red head just sort of stared at him.
Then she shook her head and told herself to snap out of it. Ced needed her help. He didn't need her to stand there staring at him like an idiot. She turned to Orion and nodded towards the door. "Go. I'll be fine. I'll wait until he's calm." She would have to wait. She'd bar the door shut after Orion and just wait things out no matter how long it took. Even if she had to keep extremely still for the next several hours. She made a motion for Orion to leave and then dropped her hand to keep still, her eyes following Cedric's every movement.

Cedric watched Lina shoo Orion out. His gaze followed her motion to the boy who brashly stared back at him. Impudence. Cedric bared his fangs in threat at the teen who backed off and disappeared from the room. He turned his attention back to Lina. The haze around his mind was clearing slightly, but he was still enraged and destructive. He told her to go because he wasn't safe...he still wasn't safe. Any movement she made flared the predator in him. He wanted to hunt so badly; anything that ran would be dead. Still, he was calming slowly. He dropped solidly to all fours and paced again, lowering his head to sniff at seams in the construction. There had to be a weak point that he could exploit, a design flaw he could muscle past.
His circuit brought him past the woman and he paused. He looked up at her and growled quietly. He sat and placed a paw on the glass as he had done in his weaker form. His claws dug into the plastic like material, leaving a mark. He stood and backed away, hoping for her to understand that he was ready for her assistance in getting out.

She stood there, as still as she could manage. It was a hard thing for Lina to do because she was someone who was almost constantly moving. Fingers, toes, generally shifting or looking around, she just had too much energy to sit still. That had always been her way and she had gotten in trouble for it a few times before. Well, a lot of times before.
Lina managed to stay still though, just carefully watching Cedric, trying to figure out what would be the best time to let him out. to get going on things, to break him out. She was nervous in a way she hadn't been nervous before. There was a little bit of fear and worry because Ced was certainly different. He was very different than he had been before as a wolf. She trusted Ced, but if he was running on instincts she'd have to try being careful for once. After all, she couldn't help him if she died.
So the red head. Even several moments after the big guy had clawed at the glass, Lina waited. She wanted to be triply sure that everything was going to work the best way possible. Giving herself a few more heartbeats to make sure, before nodding and moving to place the exploding potion next to the wall she guessed led to outside. Taking a couple of steps back, the red head made sure that everything was tucked into place correctly on her person before whipping the wand around and striking the bottle with a spell to break it open. The potion touched air, reacted, and suddenly an explosion rocked the building.
Lina had turned away from the blast, shielding her eyes as she did so. There were a number of cuts on her person that hadn't been there before, but the blast had been aimed in the other direction, thankfully. She didn't have any real damage on her person. The alarms were going off in the building, the sprinklers had turned on, but that was all normal reactions in a serious muggle place. At least from what she understood. She moved towards the break in the wall, noting they had been lucky enough to be facing an outside wall and close to the ground. Muggles in the area would have been able to hear it for quite a distance.
The red head turned at the lip of the new exit, flicking her wand one more time to open the door between Cedric's cell and the observation room. Lina then launched herself outside, glad that the healing potion had fully healed her leg two seconds later when she hit the ground. From there she was moving, running past a guard that was too startled to react and back out into the streets of the city. The first thing she did was climb the nearest building and start running across the rooftops. Only then did she glance back to make sure that Cedric was following.

The full moon was yet again upon him, and Klaus was itching for some action this time around. He had been denied any right to act on instinct last month as they had rounded up their current ward. Perhaps this month would be different, but it was doubtful. He'd been put on wolf-sitting duty. But what was to prevent him from pushing things a bit so he had a reason to shoot? At least tranq him beyond where he needed to be. The cameras would catch him antagonizing if he killed the wolf, so that was out of the question, but a little mischief? What was the worst that would happen? Jones lays him off as a contractor and he goes back to his life before all this? He was so scared! Honestly, he was beginning to hate this job as much as his last. The thought of tranq-ing the wolf several times brought Klaus about all the joy he could hope for tonight. He may have felt a little something here or there for the wolf, but it was fleeting and easily dismissed for the night.
"Evening, Bob!" or was it Jim? Klaus didn't even give it a second thought as he gave the guard a wink and prepared to head toward the stairs which lead down to Wolfy's cell. Hopefully they had already transferred him to the cage he had designed for the night. If they didn't, well, then, Jones might not have to lay him off for killing the monster, now, would she? It'd be someone else's fault then.
Klaus had a split second to register that the other guard wasn't at his post when the explosion rocked the building and the ceiling began raining on his favorite leather jacket. Klaus braced himself against the wall before realizing he needed to hurry. The explosion wasn't continuing, but the alarms were blaring, the lighting dim. This could only mean one thing: Geek Boy (shame he couldn't call him Butcher), Wolfy, and Red Riding Hood's group had come to the rescue. It was at once a stupid yet ingenious night for them to stage this escape, but it was presenting him just what he wanted: a chase.
Klaus grinned as he took his jacket off, threw it on the floor, and drew his weapon while running down the small flight of stairs just in time to see the escape in process. He stepped back a couple steps to mask himself behind the wall. The thing would smell him, no doubt, but out of sight was better than in the line of sight. |

Loud! Cedric growled and pinned his ears back. The pain and the ringing were already dissipating. Dust and debris fell from the ceiling and powdered his coat. He shook himself off, sneezed to clear his nose, and stepped out of his cell. There was a crisscrossing of humanity traced over the floor in a web of scents. Orion, who was still over in the corner but now as a bite sized cat. Lina, who was trying to get his attention to go through the unfamiliar track. And Klaus. His web of scent was most prevalent and...fresh. A growl blossomed in his chest. Klaus...he was here and he was dead. Ced dropped his head as his hackles raised. He took a few stuttering steps and then went into stalking mode. Klaus was a cunning enemy who no doubt was prepared to put him down. Unacceptable. Cedric was a Garou and he would not be 'put down' like an animal. He would be the one to kill, to destroy, to be triumphant!
His gorwls silenced as he went into hunting mode. Slowly, he approached the door frame and the scent hiding behind it.
