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.

	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)

	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)

	"Yes, everything is perfect, Lian." he says, not having taken his eyes off of her. "The food is very good as well." he adds with smirk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Flattery is exaggerated complements used in hope of attaining something. I have what I want, so I only need the truth." Damien returns. "Though...I could stand another few of those wonderful kisses." he grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Will you kiss me again, Jade Dragonness? I can even bribe you with more tiramisu and bacon." Damien says, eating a piece of bacon just then to sweeten the deal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As you wish," Lian said, leaning across the table to give Damien a long, slow kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-19 02:55 am UTC (link)
	He liked that response and leaned in to kiss her deeply. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian ended the kiss reluctantly. "I think...I've found something I like more than bacon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Kiss me again if you want to find out," she replied with a smirk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-19 03:57 am UTC (link)
	"You...make it difficult to concentrate on breakfast, Lian." Damien says, leaning forward to kiss her neck. In fact, he was full and wouldn't mind finding a way to work some of it off. "Perhaps I'll just have you instead." he grins, kissing her again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-09-19 04:01 am UTC (link)
	Lian sighed. "And...you have a problem with this?" "Why not? I'm nutritious...and full of bacon and waffles." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If your aim is to flood my head with impure thoughts of you, Lian, you plan is working to perfection. I thought you should at least receive a status update." he says, getting up come around the table. He then simply lifts her into his arms and carries her back to the bedroom, tossing her on the bed.

	"Excellent," Lian said with a wicked grin, "It's nice when everything goes according to plan." Several hours later, she was turning her head over her shoulder to grin at Damien lying next to her. "Enjoy breakfast?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-19 04:19 am UTC (link)
	"That may be the only breakfast I've ever had that made me hungrier than when I started." Damien grins. "May I ask you a personal question, Lian?" Damien asks suddenly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-09-19 04:23 am UTC (link)
	"My work is done. And done well, I'd say." More smirking from Lian. "Sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"There are many who would disagree with you, my dear. However, I ask because I have long researched methods of unlocking the power of foresight. How much could we learn, could we improve ourselves if we could only know what was down the line?" he asks her, pulling her close to him.

"What about medicine? How much hope could we give people with terrible diseases, like AIDS or cancer, if we could tell them that they will see a cure in their lifetime? How much could we help them if we could communicate with someone who could tell us how to help ourselves, Lian?

I believe I have found a way to achieve this." Damien says finally.

"You mean...you've actually been looking into this?" She was interested. Basic laws of time- messing with the future was never a good idea.

"You can do this? Actually pinpoint when it's going to happen? Not just give them a glimpse that it IS going to happen. Because just giving someone a glimpse of their future as opposed to giving them a glimpse and telling them WHEN it's going to happen? Kind of different things there, Damien."

"The process is not perfected, Lian. I am still gathering data and determining what is necessary to make this happen. Still, some home is better than no hope at all, isn't it?" he asks her.

"My grandfather researched the idea of shifting human consciousness forward into the future, so that everyone can see how much brighter and better the world can be. He believed that if people could see their potential, they would be inspired to use it to bring about the utopia that humanity should already have by now." Damien says, looking at her.

"Think of it, Lian. We have all manner of advanced alien races visiting this planet or trying to conquer it regularly. Yet we, as a race, are incapable of reaching the stars for more than minutes or days at a time, despite all of the vast resources this world possesses. We still use fuels and energy that destroy our world, rather than actively develop sources of clean energy that would allow our children, and their children to inherit the Earth." he says, and there is no mistaking the passion in his voice. He had always felt strongly about all of these things and his role in providing them to the world.

"The technology to achieve this exists, Lian. It has been done before, in small stages. I aim to bring this to the entire world, and show the leaders of this world that they /can/ and /will/ enact change that benefits us all, or they will be replaced by those who can." he says.

	"And once you've achieved your goal...what do you intend to do?" His passion and drive sent shivers down her spine, but terrified her at the same time. She knew that she was getting into deep. But she didn't care. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
