The Heist
Edge City was home to one of the few Wayne Enterprises technical depots in the American Northwest, and Damien knew that the Grand Design would need parts of the best quality for maximum output. The machine is nearly completed, but so much remained to be done. Tonight, he would kill two birds with one stone.

He would obtain the parts needed for the machine and test the loyalty of the League of Assassins' newest member. Lian Harper had made herself indispensable to him over the past week, but Damien was still wary of her. Morgaine still advocated murdering her (in her sleep was Morgaine's favorite suggestion), but Damien could not yet drop the hammer.

He hoped that Lian would prove up to tonight's task and handed her the binoculars so that she could see the their target from the top of the cliffs several miles above the facility. The pair of them, along with seven others, would rappel down the cliffside and into the valley to infiltrate the building.

"Once we have procured our items, we will exit the building and head for the chopper. It will be here on time. We will spare no civilians who stand in our way. Do you understand our mission, Lian?" Damien asks his Head of Security.

	"Do we have anything on the menu for today?" Lian asked, kissing alongside his jawbone. "Because I kind of just want to stay like this all day..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You want me to just call a halt to activities so we can have breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed?" he says, sighing at the kisses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My only plans are to have breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed with my B...Head of Security." Damien covers. "We have nothing pressing to worry about." he smiles, kissing her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was about to say something else. Lian nearly asked him what, but didn't feel like spoiling the mood. "Sounds like the perfect plan to me," Lian said, kissing him back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Damien kisses her again. "Tell me, Lian. Is there another man waiting for you where you come from? Must I take you from him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That makes Damien smile brightly. "There are things I can show you, Lian. You do not ever have to return to your old life if you don't want to. This world will be open to you in ways you have never known if you wish it. And you can stand at my side as I change the face of the world forever." Damien says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The question is, will you consent? If you need time, I understand." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-09-18 02:33 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe I don't need time," Lian said, "Maybe you've given me enough reason to consent." He was on to something big. Something bigger than her mother. Why else would he have come along with her the other day when she could have gone on her own? Though she didn't want to admit it, she was possibly falling for him. His drive, his passion...

Damien smiles, rising from the bed to go to the door. He tells his guards to relay Lian's breakfast wishes to the cook, then turns back to face her.

"I want to hear you say the words, Lian." Damien says quietly, and very seriously. Yes, she needs to earn more trust with the League, but that will come with time. Morgaine's issues will also require time as well.

But Lian understands him in ways that no one else ever has. He is falling for her, close to earning the only honor he has never bestowed upon anyone.

She pushed her personal feelings to the back of her head. Forget that she was falling for her faster than she had for any other guy before her life. Forget that he made her head spin, and that she felt like he understood her, in a way.

No. Instead think of how she could use this to her advantage. How she could figure out what he was up to if she got closer to him.

It didn't matter that she'd be spending more time with him, like this, that he'd kiss her and make her head spin, that she'd wake up next to him.

"Yes, I will consent," Lian said equally as serious, locking eyes with him.

This is not going to blow up in my face. This is not going to end badly...

I am in control here. I am the Demon's Head and I am bending her to my will.

"Excellent. Breakfast is on its way, but I have an idea of how to pass the time with my...significant other." Damien smiles, walking over to the bookcase to pick up a book.

He returns to the bed and lies down inviting her to lie with him again.

"Close your eyes and I will read to you, Lian."

	Just relax. This is going to work out. You're going to find out what's he's up to, and then...well, you've always been good at making it up as you go along, right? Lian smiled, walking back over to the bed and lying down next to him. "Excellent," she said, closing her eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-18 04:09 am UTC (link)
	And so he does. He reads to her until breakfast is set up and delivered, and then they pause to go and eat. Belgian waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon are available, as are a wide range of juices. Damien, however, favors a light-green liquid, followed by a Mimosa. "Is everything to taste, Lian?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian helped herself to some waffles, and of course, bacon. Followed by a cup of coffee. A very excellent cup of coffee, if she did say so herself. "Everything is perfect, Damien." Lian said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
