*Few Hours Ago* "Oi!" Alexia calls out, Damien furiously tries to wipe his face off of paprika. The scorpion man quickly turns to his feet and runs to the fire escape door, Alexia pushes Damien to the side and runs after him. "Get back here!" She pulls out her rifle with a tranquilizing dart armed inside. As she shoots her shot, the man instantly slips out of sight and missed the fire. "Alexia!" Damien screams out in pain, still wiping off the paprika. Rolling her eyes, she takes off the towel from his hand and plunges it in cold water. She helps wipe off the excess powder off, then turns on the faucet with cold water running out. "Quickly!" She yells, which Damien grumbles and washes his eyes out. "It's still a bit hot" Damien hisses, his eyes squinting shut and open. "Come here, I'll blow off the powder " She says, holding out her hands to holding head in place. "Ahh","Shut up" She says, trying to calm him down. As she continues to blow, he lets out a grumble like moan. Fr

"Lily, sweetheart, you look amazing" Her mother's voice chimes out. "Thank you.." Lily says, appreciative but her tone felt saddened. "Sweetie, I know you're upset. But the truth is, we have actually expected Damien to do this" her mother says, making Damien's eyebrow furrow. "What?" Lily says, turning to her mother. "You know how Damien is. He's mentally unstable. Someone who cannot be relied on" She continues, making Damien fume in anger. "You're better off marrying Xavier now" She says, standing closely to Lily and holding her hand. "You deserve someone like Xavier. He has proven himself enough to show you he truly cares about you" She says smiling at Lily. "What the hell is going on?" Damien asks, catching everyone's attention in shock. "Damien" Lily gasps, turning to him and stepping off of the platform infront of her mirror. "We're picking out wedding dresses for my beautiful daughter" Lily's mother scoffs, standing up to walk over to Damien and stopping Lily from settin

"It was a mistake... A misunderstanding" Damien stutters out, trying to explain to Lily."I can't for the life of me trust every word that comes out of your mouth" Lily says, as if hushing."Lily, let me make this right..." He hold on to her hand from the table and looks at her intently."I don't even know you" She says, whispering through."And you don't know him either" Damien says, pain hinting on his tone."Please just let me be, Damien..." Lily pleads, finally holding his hand with both of hers."Why can't you just stay with me until I-","Until you what?" She cuts him off then suddenly Damien's phone notifies a message. It was from Alexia."See? How can I trust you?" Lily sighs out, taking off both her hands and laying her hand on them in frustration."Lily, it's not what you think?" Damien pleads out, holding on to her arm gently."I may have been vague, slightly discreet than normal... But just let me do my job" He says, breathing out in frustration."What exactly is your job?"

The day has passed since the last time Damien barged into Xavier's mansion. Nothing more infuriating to him was Damien's audacity to barge into his home to humiliate and challenge him into a brawl. It's pathetic enough he even accepted the challenge, he doesn't need to prove himself but alas he needs to show he is worthy. Lily has always been dangling in between his finger tips, this is nothing more than just a mindless game to him and finally he will take the position rightfully for him. "Zack" Xavier called out from outside his office. Just in a few minutes, a man in suit and holding a briefcase walks in on command. Xavier smiles to his friend and gestures for him to sit down. "Have you done what I asked for?" Xavier asks, looking at him intently. "They think it's my fault now... I can no longer be part of their team" Zack says, his tone hinting hurt. "Don't worry, my friend. You are now part of my empire. The building block of my legacy" Xavier smiles, swivelling his chair to

This isn't like his Lily. This isn't like the Lily that he used to know. He looks down to see Lily staring at her feet, not knowing what else to do. All she could think was that everything will get better if she only said yes or no. But it seemed she didn't have that luxury anymore, so she stayed silent. Damien sighed and ran a hand through his hair, trying to calm himself down. He knew this wasn't going to be easy for either of them, but he had to try. He needed to make sure that Lily was okay. "I guess we better get a move on if you aren't hungry, Damien" He says, making his way towards where Damien sat. "Follow me... don't even bother bringing any weaponry, we'll only be dueling barehanded" He smirks at Damien, looking at him down. He follows Xavier outside of the mansion and into the forest. Damien tries to keep himself focused on something else other than Lily as they walk through the woods together. He doesn't want to lose focus, it's dangerous out here in these forests after
