Cain was very amused by the assassin that had delivered that thug who thought himself a crime prince to him. The fool had learned the error of his way he had seen to that personally and he was made to open up his eyes to the lessons of Cain. Sadly not that he had really cared in the slightest the fool had not survived the experience but Cain had thoroughly enjoyed their time together and he had even repented in the end and was with Cain now.

The assassin on the other hand was something else entirely. This one showed great potential he just needed his eyes opened fully to the ways of Cain and unlike with the fool Cain was willing to play a subtler game he. There was so much he could gain here.

The talent one of the last Asaro assassins was a gift of murder Cain wanted badly to control. But as others had learned in the past centuries they can be controlled by an iron fist but a gentle touch. Still he seemed interested in what they did so this was a start.

But Gabriel had his apprehensions about this one and he had always trusted his instincts in the past so he was going to test him and Sister Acheron, Clare, was going to help there. He always did enjoy working with her on various things.

Hope rolled over in bed when she woke up that morning, not surprised to find that Rex was already up and out of bed. She knew that he was trying his best not to worry her, but she was perfectly aware of the fact that he hadn't been eating or sleeping very well over the weeks since Nic had died and they found out that her body had been stolen by Vandal Savage. She'd moved in like he had asked her to, mostly because she didn't want him to be alone...and risk doing something really stupid, and because she wanted to be there for him. They were supposed to be looking for a house, but those plans had gotten shoved aside, and Hope didn't press the issue.

She got out of bed, walking into the kitchen where he was. She walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Good morning," she said. "Want me to make coffee and breakfast?"

And by make breakfast she meant put poptarts in the toaster.
