The sky rumbled

[Morgan Evanar]

with thunder. The clouds flashed purple as lightning danced through the clouds. Thunderheads built up and grew like malignant cancer. The cool, moist air beat against the trenchcoat of the tall figure, who moved silently across the green meadow. Massive, stone loomed above, a great monoltih. It was easily conqured with a simple leap.

A solitary figure stood in Sith Lordess Live Wire's window, drenched from the rain. He rapped upon the window gently.

[Live Wire]

*LW turned to see a distorted face standing out on her balcony. In one smooth motion she called her saber to her and locked the door to the room where Ariel was sleeping.

With a frown she opened the door with her finger posed over the button of her saber. As the door swung outward she saw the drenched form of Morgan Evanar*

What the hell are you doing here?

[Morgan Evanar]

"This."
There was not even a blur. Morgan's arm's enveloped the sith's figure in gentle embrace. He kissed her lips with care, with grace. The saber was activated in her hand, but he could care less. He had seen beauty, touched it, embraced it. A lightsaber was of little worry.

[Live Wire]

*LW's eyes widened as Morgan pulled her too him. Her finger trembled over the trigger of the lightsaber and it shut down. LW found herself returning his kiss but it lasted only for a moment and she caught herself.

LW pulled away from him, her mind screaming at her wondering just what the hell she thought she was doing. She looked at Morgan...something was different about him. Composing herself she cleared her throat*

Whats going on?

[Morgan Evanar]

"I don't know. You tell me."

It had felt better than he could imagine. It was inconceivable how it felt in compairson to that of the imagined kiss. Bliss.

Was this the answer? Stopping the supression of some of his most base needs? His darker urges needed satisfaction that no Light Sider would approve of.

So, kiss off the lightside. Not like they would give a damn.

[Live Wire]

*As she looked at him she really saw the change...the reserved Morgan was all but gone and in front of her was a wilder version of the man she knew. She could sense the base emotions running through his system and she smiled. He was giving in, after all this time he was really giving in.

LW tossed her lightsaber onto the couch and gazed into Morgans eyes. There was a darkness to them and her smile widened.*

So how does it feel?

[Morgan Evanar]

The sky flashed purple with violent engery. The boom of excited air broke his silence.

"Alive. There is a tension, a longing, an urge. It's alive. It is a part of me now. I can no longer deny these... feelings, the urges. I will explore them. But on any journey, a wise traveler asks the help of a guide. Be my guide, Sith Lordess."

[Live Wire]

*LW sat down on the edge of the couch and sighed. The fact that he was standing there before her dripping wet proved that he was sincere.

LW got up and went to a closet and came back with a towel for Morgan.*

Dry off.

*Something in his eyes helped LW make up her mind.*

If you want my help then you have it.

*LW shook her head*

The council's never gonna believe this one. I'll help you get settled in here. It shouldn't be a problem.

[Lord Dagger]

:: There is a polite knock at the door as Dagger waits outside having been roused from his meditation by the change in Live Wire's emotions which he always kept an eye on throught the Force. Dagger calls out softly ::
"Is everything alright my lady?"

[Live Wire]

*LW unlocked the door with the force. She should have expected that Dagger would come to check on her. He was always atuned to her emotions and any fluctuation brought him to her side.

Dagger stopped as he saw Morgan standing in the middle of the room*

It's okay Lord Dagger. He's my guest.

[Lord Dagger]

:: Dagger looks at Morgan and frowns but says does not comment ::
"I appear to be disturbing something, i will take my leave my lady"
:: Dagger bows and turns to leave ::

[Morgan Evanar]

Morgan's gaze was impassive against Dagger's frown. As the door closed, he removed his coat, shoes and socks, soaked and mudlined from the 5 kilometer trek he took from his ship to the TSO headquarters.

Long, thin fingers removed the band binding some of his jaw length hair back. It swung free, and he shook his head about like a golden retriever, water droplets flying free. He took off his white shirt, which had clung to him like a second skin, wrapping his whipcord muscles in white transluscency. Morgan dried himself off silently, taking in everything anew.

[Live Wire]

*LW sighs as Morgan drips on the carpet. LW gets up and heads into her bedroom and comes out with a much larger towel and a fresh change of clothing for him.*

Here ya go. The fresher is through that door there. Why dont you get cleaned up and I'll take care of these wet clothes.

*LW frowned at the mud on the carpet but let it slide*

I'll make some hot tea if you'd like some.

[Morgan Evanar]

"I'll clean the carpet tommoro. I hadn't realized it was carpet until I stepped on it. The rain should was off anything I left on the balcony." Morgan smiled as he took the towel and change of clothes. He headed for the refresher.

Midway through changing, LW asked if he would like some tea.

"Tea would be wonderful, thank you."
Ahh, few things felt as good as a fresh change of clothes.

[Live Wire]

*While Morgan was in the fresher LW took care of the wet clothes and made the tea. She could sense Ariel in the next room slowly starting to wake up. LW was surprised the baby hadn't woken before this since she was very sensitive to the presense of people she didnt know.*

The tea is ready.

*LW set both cups of tea on the table and went in to check on Ariel. She heared Morgan finish changing and come back out to the living area. LW cradled the baby in her arms and came back out to sit at the table*

[Morgan Evanar]

At the sight of the baby, Morgan's eyes went wide and narrowed once again. Lightning flashed, and his eyes went from a cat shape to human shape and back again. A genetic legacy from his mother, which had not shown up for three generations. No one had noticed before, then again, spotting Morgan in the dark was a difficult enough task as it was.

"She isn't really yours, is she? She feels too... different." He carefully sipped the tea, savoring it's flavor and warmth.

[Live Wire]

*LW smiled*

I've kind of adopted her. Shes a unique child...very strong in the force and already attuned to the dark side. She'll be a powerful sith one day.

*LW took a sip of her tea and looked at Morgan*

What made you come to me specifically?

[Morgan Evanar]

"Well, I..." Morgan trailed off, his mind had become a whirlwind of thoughts. He blushed, and became angry at himself for blushing.

Why the frell can't I just say it!?

His hands began to shake, and the teacup exploded violently in his palm. Shards or porcilean embedded themselves in flesh. He didn't even notice until wet, deep red blood dripped down his wrist. Morgan opened his fingers near his face and examined the damage. Superficial, and can be delt with later.

"If you can recall when Anbria tried to use the Jedi for suicide, it was, I think that was the first time I saw you. I thought little of the incident, until I began to dream of you recently. Dreams are normall for most people, especially Jedi of either path. I, however, rarely remember my dreams. I recall every one with you in vivid detail."

[Live Wire]

*LW jumped startled as the teacup shattered in Morgans hand. She sat quietly listening to him and when he stopped speaking she quickly went to put Ariel down. She came back holding a towel and a medkit. She knelt down silently by Morgan and took his hand. Carefully she used the force to remove the shards of glass. She sopped up the blood with the towel and opened the medkit.

She remembered when Anbira had tried to comit suicide by jedi and her and LV fought their way into the GJO. LW had fought many jedi and hadn't given the fight anymore thought then usual. But she rememberd that it was indeed the first time she had ever run across Morgan. It wasnt the pleasentest of circumstances. And so much had happened since then it seemed like so long ago*

I remember. I honestly don't know what to say.

*LW took out a dermal synth patch and placed it over Morgans hand stopping the bleeding. She wrapped his hand in a sterile cloth and looked up at him.*

I'm shocked really. What kind of dreams were they may I ask?

[Morgan Evanar]

The shards of glass through Live Wire's use of the force, and the skin already was trying to close itself. He waved the dermal patch away as the last of the blood that was going to exit his body did.

"They were only minor cuts. I heal fast." He showed his hand to Live Wire, which appeared to only have thin scratches.She looked up at him.

"I'm shocked really. What kind of dreams were they may I ask?"

Morgan ground his jaw, but spoke more calmly.

"A little of the stupid sexual fantasy crap. But mostly it was simply us, somewhere in this galaxy. Sometimes here, at TSO. Sometimes at various other locals. But I was with you."

[Live Wire]

*LW just looked at Morgan unsure of what to say or do. It was all so touching and even a little romantic.*

So I guess they we'rent your run of the mill dreams? Well you would know if they were I guess.

*force users always knew the difference between dreams and "visions" that were trying to tell them something. LW's curiosity got the better of her. She took Morgans hand again and through the force she asked*

Will you show me?

[Morgan Evanar]

"I'm not sure how. I've never been patictularly good at some of the mind force tricks."
Morgan closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. He squeezed LW's hand gently. Now which one?

Massive, towering trees were abundant, like red shafts into the sky. Slight bits of sunlight filtered through the multilayer canopy. Thick underbrush hid them as they moved through the forest. He suddenly paused midstep, left foot still in midair. Morgan's hand flung up into the air. Live Wire halted and remained absolutely still. He lowered his foot slowly, and the ground before them was tossed into the air violently.

A massive, green-brown insectiod rose from the soil, hissing meancingly. Morgan lept backward, and landed next to Live Wire. It snapped it's meter long jaws where he had stood moments before, and charged.

It was met with cold metal and Force fueled lightning. The corpse fell to the ground as a smoking heap of toasted kitin sliced down the middle.

[Live Wire]

*LW kept the link between their two minds active. The scenario she was seeing was so real. She understood why Morgan felt it was off significance. From what she could tell they were there working side by side.....no longer enemies*

[Morgan Evanar]

Morgan savored the feeling of being in contact with Live Wire's mind.

Blissful. But she needed to know other things. He tried as best as he could to replay the scene from his eyes.

"I nearly killed a man recently. Some mugger who though a blaster would be enough to get some credits. I've had blasters pulled on me before. Normally, I just incapaticitate and deliver to the authorities if I'm not rushed.

Nar Shadda, 37 days ago:

"This has to be the dirties place I've ever seen." I walked through the back streets, and decided this backalley could be an easy shortcut.

Grime stained duracrete towers obscured any bit of natural light. The alley floor was coated with refuse and debris, but patches showed through.

My eyes were adapted to the low light level. It was seemingly normal daylight by virtue of my genetic blessing. I paused slightly as I passed an overfilled dumpster that reeked something awful. As I rounded the corner, I realized it was a dead end.

I took another step and found the barrel of a blaster against the base of my skull. Frell!

"Gimme your credits!" The voice of the gunman was gruff, and his basic was oddly accented. Not a bit of motion was felt through the blaster as he spoke. This was an experinced mugger.

"Put the blaster away, and I'll let you walk away." My voice was unsually cold. Muggerman began to chuckle. I threw my head forward, bending my knees, and pivoting on my left heel. A blaster bolt sizzled through the space my head had occupied mere miliseconds before.

My right hand grabbed his, which was wrapped around the handle of an old Blastec, and my left to the mugger's wrist. Another shot went off, but it disipated harmlessly into the nearby duracrete wall. I narrowed my eyes as I began to squeeze his blaster hand and wrist.

"What are you..." I squeezed harder, and he began to howl. Bones began to snap in his hands.

"I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY!" His voice was at a desperate pitch, the pain clearly visible in his light brown eyes. I continued until the bones in his wrist and hands were dust in his flesh. But I was not finished. No, he hit me in desperation, since flight was not an option I left him. I looked him straight through his eyes, to the dirt on the wall. And I pounded his body.

I beat the sh|t out of him. It felt amazing, nearly euphoric, my fists against his raw, bleeding flesh. He bled for crossing me. I must have broken every other bone in his body."

[Live Wire]

*LW smiled slightly...she could feel the rush he got just reliving it...he gave in fully to the dark side and he liked it.*

You found power in your anger! Thats good! Its an important step

*She gently probbed his mind searching for any trace of deception, she already knew she would find none. But she had to look. The sincerity was in his beautiful deep green eyes*

[Morgan Evanar]

Their gazes were locked. They stared unmovingly into each other's eyes. They were brilliant onyx jems set in the purest white pearl, deeper than any ocean. Minutes passed. His eyes closed slowly, in an almost regretful manner.

"Sith Lordess, do you think we should inform the council?"

[Live Wire]

*LW glanced at the clock on the desk and looked out the window....the rain was still coming down and the sun wasnt on the horizon yet*

It's still early...and they'll kill me if I wake them up at this hour. We keep our own hours around here but most of us aren't real morning people.

*LW paused before looking back at him*

Besides Im sure there wont be any problems. I'll vouch for you.

[Morgan Evanar]

"If you don't mind then, I think I'll try to catch a little sleep too." He walked to the foot of Live Wire's bed and curled up.

"Is it allright if I..." Morgan yawned, took a breath, and fell into a deep slumber, question unfinished.

[Live Wire]

*LW laughed slightly and laid a blanket over Morgan. She watched him sleeping for a few minutes and then turned out the light and went to lay down in Ariels room*
