It was quiet around the downtown area at this time of day. In about 2 hours it would be twilight and the sun would start dipping down into the sky. People were either getting ready to go out or were already out and settled in the place they were at. There generally wasn't much movement at this time of year due to the cold and the snow. Nickle breathed out, adjusting his brown scarf around his neck as he made his way along the path. The snow under his boots had been compressed due to people walking along the pathway, making it close to ice and difficult to walk on without slipping. Ice-skating had never really been Nickle's forte, well ice in general was an element he battled to really comes to grip with. After all the blasted thing didn't conduct electricity, not like its other form water. Nickle adjusted his leather jacket as he made his way along the pathway with a little extra caution that he was used to. He stopped by a newspaper stand, reading through the front-page articles of a local paper, before moving onward to a hot chocolate stand and buying himself a cup of the warming liquid. There had been a thought in his mind as of late. That fight against the Wo-Shing...what had happened there. He couldn't get the picture of Roz's last gaze out of his mind. Although he'd locked away the emotions, they were starting to get to him now. She had been so stubborn, like she had wanted it all along. Nickle didn't want to think of it that way though, it just seemed wrong. Or maybe it was easier blaming himself for the act. Still, perhaps Roz had just been tired of it all. Her life hadn't been exactly easy. Still, the guilt was there, because by killing her, Nickle had left her without a mother and technically, without a father. He was grateful for Hiro stepping in, but that didn't make it any easier. His blade had never felt as heavy than at that moment when it had pierced Roz's heart. He gently sipped his hot chocolate, welcoming it's burn. Edited by Nickle, Dec 25 2010, 02:57 PM.

Strange that one would think, a small child walking around in the dark. Alexia was restless tonight, it was probably from Roz not being around her, telling her what to do and how to do... yes she was alone.. not that she didn't welcome the silence.. no she wasn't feeling lonely.. she wouldn't go saying that Alexia didn't miss Roz..because she did... it was just that Alexia although she knew Roz would pull a death suicide like she did at the Wo Shing fight, and knew Roz had taught her basics in fire control.. and how to keep a low profile and yet still make a profit in life was something else Alexia strolled with her trusty torch that looked like a green glowing gremlin in the dark, as she strolled to clear her head... the words that Roz had said drifting in her mind.... Remember Alexia, when you feel the time is right go seek your Uncle Nickle, he should be willing to teach you electro-skills, and you know no matter what.. I will always love you The words Alexia heard Roz say before she 'dressed up' and face her death... Roz had hugged Alexia tightly before whispering little words of love, love and sadness shined in her already dulling eyes that afternoon.. Remember the adoption papers and stuff are on the counter, you'll have to take it to Hiro once its over.. you'll ...... f-feel it through our link. Her mother had started to break into tears M-my baby girl... my legacy..his legacy.. grow up till you're old enough and wise enough.. what you may need is in the dimension gate zipper... everything I have done is for you..you know that don't you? I love you with everything in my heart, and you know that I have to do this.. to end the trail of hunters and the scientist.... even if it means I have to leave you earlier than I had originally planned.. please.. when you're older forgive me.. Alexia felt tears rolling down her face.. she stopped at the corner of a well lit hot chocolate vendor... and wiped at her face with her gloved hands... she was making small sniffling sounds as she cuddled the rabbit toy close to her.. "Mama..." |

Nickle's ear perked up as he heard it. A voice? A little voice calling for her mother. Nickle turned around, noticng the vendor was already looking at little girl standing nearby. It took a second to realize it, but it was her, Rozanny's daughter, "Alexia, what are you doing here?" Nickle bent down and looked at the little girl as he hugged her rabbit doll and noticed the shining streaks of tears in her eyes and on her cheeks. Nickle felt his heart sink. He'd done this. He reached out with his free arm, picking her up easily and holding her to his chest, "Come on little one, let's get you somewhere safer than here." Nickle began to walk down the street, but was brought to a cross-roads. Did Hiro know she was gone? Did she know the way back to Hiro's apartment? Should Nickle keep her at his house just for this night? His thoughts were interrupted as he felt Alexia shaking and sobbing, "Hey hey, it's ok. Have some hot chocolate. Blow on it, it's hot." Nickle moved the cup closer to Alexia so that she could take it and have a sip. She was so little compared to him... |

Alexia looked up when Nickle bent down and looked at her "Uncle Nickle..." her voice trailed off and she sniffled a bit more when he picked her up and holding her to his chest.. "S-safe.. Imma safe.." When he started walking, Alexia reached out and poked him in the cheek with the other gloved hand and said "Why you feeling sad?" she got instantly distracted when a cup of Hot Chocolate suddenly floated in her vision, ALexia's vision zoomed into onto the cup, of course she was still sad, but hot chocolate always was good for the soul, Roz had always said. She laughed softly to herself and shifted in his hold... she blew on the hot choc just like he said to.... and sipped it, humming and feeling all warm when the hot choc slid onto her tongue... "If you are feeling sad because Mama's not here, then she'd hit you..... she said for me to tell you" |

Nickle was abit startled when he felt her littel hand poke his cheeck. He looked at Alexia uncertainly when she asked what he was sad about. Nickle was unsure about how to an answer that because truthfully answering it would lead up to the conversation about him killing Rozanny and...for for heaven's sake she was only a child! But, that didn't exactly stop her from Alexia bringing up the topic anyway. Wait...Rozanny told her she was going to die...she planned all this? Nickle could understand having set up guardianship with Hiro, but for Rozanny to have told Alexia she was flying headlong into her death... Nickle watched as the toddler drank the hot chocolate. He couldn't helpt but smile a bit. She looked so much like Rozanny. He could see traces of Kinclex in her facial features here and there, but truely, she was Rozanny's daughter. "I see. Well then I guess later on, you're gonna have to punch me a bit, because I am feeling a bit sad about it." Nickle then looked at Alexia, "Alexia, do you want me to take you back to Hiro's house? Or, do you maybe want to go play on the swings at the park for a little bit before we do?" This wasn't exactly how Nickle planned to sit her down and explain things, but at least the park was going to be pretty much deserted at this time. |

Alexia's blue eyes narrowed, if she had a temper like her mother's she would have already hit Nickle, for being a sook. Of course Alexia had already figured out her mother planned to die, and she knew that all the little precautions Roz took was to ensure Alexia had a good life growing up. Just without her... that was the only thing Alexia resented about her mother going off to die... "Well, then I'll possibly take you up on that offer when I get older Uncle Nickle" the child said with a cold tone of voice... somewhat scary type of voice for a 4 year old. A few seconds later, the coldness in the tone disappeared when she reached out and took the cup for him and drank the rest of the Hot chocolate. When Nickle spoke of wanting to her back to Hiro, she said "Oh. Hiro went out with some pretty woman...so I went out.." she sipped the hot chocolate again "Mama called it late night training, usually I'd go training on Hiro's shops roof, but I wanted to go for a walk." "We can go to the park...then I want to create a light bulb...." |

Nickle's free hand slid into his pocket when Alexia too the cup of hot chocolate and finished it. The arm holding her however tensed ever so slightly when he heard the coldness in her voice. That was definately from Kinclex. If anything he had to hand it to him. His cold and calculating manner seemed to balance out Roz's hot headed traits. Still, Alexia was both Roz and Kinclex and neither of them. She was her own person. Nickle felt a vein in his forehead twitch for a second when he heard Alexia mention the reason why she was out and couldn't be taken home to Hiro's. That...that damn Ero-sempai! thought Nickle. It had been a long time since Nickle had thought of Hiro as his sensei. He hadn't called him that since gradution and the thing of it was, he was only a few years older than Nickle. "I see, well then we'd better leave Hiro alone for tonight. After the park you can come back to my house." The park was actually very nearby and with Nickle's long legs they were there in practically no time. "As for creating that lightbulb, first I'm going to need to see how you control your powers first and I can teach you from there." Nickle began making a move towards the swings, putting Alexia down on one of them and then slowly pushing her, "Alexia, do you have anything you want ask me?" It was a fair question, after all, Nickle didn't know how much Roz had actually told her about Kinclex or himself. |

After being put down on the swing and gently pushed to get the swing moving, Alexia laughed, giggling as the air rushed past her... yes she loved the playgrounds, but she secretly hated the other kids. They hated her for being a daughter of a 'freak' the same type of prejudice that made Roz an outcast in Hyakuji. If Alexia had Roz's temper, those kids would have been zapped or burnt by now....so during the night the child left the apartment in search of the playgrounds... but not that she was going to tell the adults. "Papa's house? or your house?" the swing had a natural rhythm, she loved it... Roz used to push her like this during the night, when everyone was asleep, she missed her Mama "Mama said that when the time was right I was to seek you out, to get you to teach me electro-control, since what Mama said.... was that I inherited Papa's umm more of Papa's features than of her own, I... don't know if this is right.... but I think Mama meant my powers are stronger with lightning, than fire." Alexia lifted a hand and fired a small orb of black lightning at the ground as her swing swung up...she laughed again. |

Nickle kept gently pushing Alexia, "It's my house. Your papa did live there for a while though. For most of his life he and I didn't get on well, but he was still good deep down. He was always just chasing after his own goals. They weren't all evil though. Your papa was just a victim of one bad situation after the next." It was true after all. Kinclex was basically a slave to Lillian, then to the Wo-Shing and Kyrios and then to the demons that possessed him. In the end however, Nickle suppossed that he had been more himself than before. As a member of Organisation XIII, he was no longer trying to outdo his original, but was instead trying to find himself. Nickle listend to the little girl explain her powers. So it was making sense now. She might look like Rozanny and have a bit of her power, but Kinclex's abilities, although dormant, were dominant. That laugh from earlier showed signs that perhaps personality wise Alexia might take after him as well. "I'd be more than happy to teach you how to control your powers." Nickle stopped pushing, moving around to the sing next to Alexia's and sitting on it, stretching out his hand. "Electricity is a really useful element," Nickle began to form a small swirling orb of blue lightning in his hand, "You have to understand that each electromancer has their own wavelength." Was she going to understand this? Maybe he should make it simpler for her, "Each one of us gives off, well a certain taste or smell I should say. That's how I've come to identify it over the years. There's a big difference between the electricity of a machine and that of electromancers. Human batteries like us are more wild, more prone to surge." That was a fact. Most young electromancers used their powers reflexively. At least Rozanny had taught Alexia power channeling basics. Those principals could be applied to any element. Nickle then pointed to Alexia, holding the ball closer to her and changing the colour to black, "Each electromancer also can have their own colour of lightning. It develops naturally of course. Yours is still black, because that was the colour of your papa's lightning. Because your papa and I were brothers, we could use both blue and black coloured lightning. I've only recently learned to make white lightning, which is stronger than my blue." Nickle split the orb to show Alexia the three different colours he had access to. "I can teach you change the colour of your lightning. You can make it red, like your mama's hair." |

"I know Papa, was mean, but evil? Mama never actually told me about him... " a small smile appeared on her face when the swing stopped "but Mama said he was a very handsome yet, dangerous man... nothing about evilness" Alexia giggled when she remembered every little moment that Roz had stopped to do something mid way thinking about Kinclex... and that cute embarrassed blush that adorned her face when she noticed Alexia poking her saying the kitchen was burning. "Taste?... lightning has tastes?" A pure look of 'Huh' adorned the little girl's face... "Okay maybe the fact that maybe when I'm older, my powers might become like Mama's? OH! and.... Mama was quite shocked that...... I could summon small fireballs... small blue fireballs... does that have something to do with my... lightning?" Alexia stared intently at the swirling orbs of lightning Nickle was holding out to her.. it was fascinating... she was absorbing the information like a sponge to use for later knowledge... she would take action on those later when she had more time to blow up.... *coughpotscough* |

Nickle nodded, "I think your Mama says it better than me, because, your Mama was really the only person you Papa really loved. Deep, deep down he cared for her." The very fact that he went so far as to concieve Alexia with Rozanny was proof of that. Nickle chuckled a bit and shook his head when he saw the look on Alexia's puzzled face. Her observation of her blue fire was very astute though. It related to the same principle. "Blue fire hmm? Well I guess it kind of does. See I've never really know of a pyromancer to use different colours in their fire, that's typically only something I've ever seen electromancers do. Over there years I've seen blue, white, black, purple, green and yellow used." The first three were directly related to Nickle and Kinclex. Cassandra Praden had used green lightning, Amaya and Kurei had used purple and Iola-sensei had used yellow. This really wasn't the place to be discussing stuff like this. In a park anyone could overhear the conversations they were having. Besides, it was getting later and colder. Nickle got up and moved to pick up Alexia and her bunny, "Come on, let's go back to my house, it's getting late." It was then that Nickle formed his large white angel wings. Unlike Rozanny's, his wings were formed in a small burst of light and could be dispersed in the same manner. "You're used to flying, right Alexia?" |

"Ooooh okay! so there is different types, so they all have different strengths, depending on the person right? hehe.." she felt a yawn sneaking its way to her mouth... Alexia yawned, Nickle must have seen this because he suggested going back to his house. "We can go to your house, is it a big house?" Alexia's attention darted away and landed on bright light and summoned wings, she giggled and touched the wings, "do they feel?" the question meaning, does the wings feel if you touch it.. "Yup! really used to flying. Mama... said I might grow wings, or... might be able to summon them.. I wasn't really paying attention to her talking about it." |

Nickle nodded, "That's right. Lightning strength doesn't only depend on colour though. See the way it works is that once you get strong enough, your lightning can start changing colour on its own. Like how mine can be both blue and white." As Nickle took off with the little child in his arms, she would feel his wings ruffle gently in response to her touching them, "Yes, I can feel with them. They're not entirely magical. Right now they're as much a part of me as my arms. And there is a chance you might get wings when you're older. You are Rozanny's daughter after all. You might be a little different and be able to summon them like I do." The distance from the park to Nickle's house was relatively short. "To answer your previous question, my hosue is kind of big, it's that over there." Nickle pointed to a two story house, which seemed rather big. Modelled after a Japanese pagoda, there was a small bridge that lead to the front door as well as a garage linked to the main house. Ther was no grass to speak of, but rather a small pebbled and rock garden on the inisde of the tall wooden fence. There was also a large glass skylight in the center of the room. Nickle swooped down towards the front door, landing at the entrance and pulling out his house keys as his wings dissappeared in a shower of light. "Remember to take your shoes off in the entrance Alexia." With that, Nickle opened the door to his home. He hoped Cerium wasn't home...even if she was, he didn't think she would act of out turn. |

When they took flight Alexia's pleasure of flying soared..The wind in her ears, her face her delight as she tried not to choke on her hair as they flew.. even if the distance between park and house was not that far. "Oooh" Alexia oohed and ahhed as they flew over Nickle's house, it was a huge house, she smiled, but not as big as Uncle Kuro's house, giggling as his wings disappeared in a shower of lights, she excitedly took her shoes off and stood there waiting with a hyperness "Do you have pets? Is there anything to do? Are you tired? Oooh can I put make up on you?" Alexia blurted out obviously hyper....while standing in... the doorway.. |

Chizu set the knife to one side of the chopping board, moving the cut piece of meat to another side with all the others. She sighed, walking over to the sink and twisting the knob with her wrist to avoid getting it dirty. "All done, Ryuko-sensei," she said to the older woman in the kitchen, washing her hands. How did I end up in this situation? She had come here looking for Nickle, but he wasn't home, so she had been about to leave when Cerium Ryuko showed up and dragged her into the kitchen to help with dinner. She looked up at the sound of the door opening, quickly wiping her hands on the nearest towel and turning around. She walked out of the kitchen and headed over to the door, smiling slightly. "Okaeri," she said as the door opened. She was dressed in a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt with the image of a bird in flight on it in blue, a borrowed kitchen apron covering that. Because she was inside, she was wearing her socks. Nickle might have noticed a pair of familiar slightly worn-out sneakers by the door. "I came over to visit, and somehow ended up getting dragged into making di...nner..." She paused as the door opened fully, and she realized that Nickle wasn't alone. Chizu shifted uncomfortably, realizing that not only was there a small child with him, she remembered whose child that was. "Ah...hi," she said, slipping the apron off and draping it over her arm. |
