Sebastian Blood, now dressed as Brother Blood, was running through alleys and hopping over fences. He'd been in town, or more accurately, Louis Ferr was in town for a small show. But it worked in his favor because he'd gotten word about a small cult operating out of a warehouse that had something he wanted. Then again there was a lot that he wanted, or in his mind needed. He had big plans for his every growing magical armory and one way or another he'd get his mother back. He'd dismantle every single Hell Lord if he had to, but either way he'd get her back.
As he ran he came upon a mugging, driving an elbow into the mugger's jaw and kept going. Sure he might not be a villain, but he wasn't a hero either. The guy was simply lucky Sebastian was too busy to properly teach him a lesson. The woman thanked him, then looked on confused as a small fluffy white cat followed him. Sebastian came to the warehouse and noticed the guards. With a quick flick of the wrist he hurled a hellfire ball before the guard could react. He dropped to the ground twitching with blank, dead eyes, his soul gone. Using his vampiric strength he leaped up and grabbed onto a ladder going up the side of the roof. Admiral Fluffy paws flew along beside him, looking around calmly.
'Did you ever think that maybe they'd be expecting someone to enter from this way?'
"Well it'd be rude to disappoint them."
'Idiot....'
Making his way to the roof he drew his sword and walked over to the skylight. Just below he could see the cult in question. In the middle of about 10 people was 4 others, the High Priests most likely. In the hands of the one with the most flamboyant robe was an ancient and gnarled looking staff, the staff Sebastian wanted. Turning into mist he worked his way through the gaps and cracks in the skylight he then re-solidified and dropped the rest of the way. Meanwhile Admiral Fluffy Paws went to find his own way in. As he landed two cult members rushed towards him only to be cut down with a quick spinning flourish.
"Give me the staff and the rest of you live."
'We have a better idea....'
Then suddenly a silver bracket like contraption flew from the circle of four, going through Sebastian's stomach and pinning him to the wall. He tried to pull it out but it was silver and he couldn't get enough of a grip on it to remove it. Admiral Fluffy Paws came sauntering up to him before sitting down and looking at him.
'I did try to warn you...'
"Not the time. Just help me."
'How? I don't have any thumbs.'
The cult began to chant as the staff was stamped on the ground. Suddenly a firey light shot out of the center of the circle, destroying the skylight and going high into the night sky.
"Well f*ck..."
'Agreed.'

Captain Marvel had decided to do some nighttime flying, having finished her training and her homework. The streets of New York still weren't safe, even after all this time. A little crime fighting before bedtime never hurt anyone. Well, never hurt her. The other guy usually had at the very least some bruising. If they were lucky. Tonight though, it seemed quiet. A little too quiet. Of course as soon as she thought that, a bright pillar of light made it practically daytime for a brief moment. That was definitely something hinky and in need of some investigating.
She flew in low and peeked in through the now shattered skylight, looking around a the cult gathered around chanting. Obviously something bad was going on. Something needed to be done but magic wasn't really her department. It was more...
"...Sebastian..." She muttered to herself, seeing him pinned to a wall. She sighed and silently flew in through the skylight, sticking to the shadows as much as possible to not give away her presence. Superhero 101, make an entrance. She hovered just above them, hands on her hips, staring down disappointingly at the cult.
"You know...if you didn't want people to know you're up to no good, you shouldn't send up a signal flare." She got a blast from the lead guy which made her flinch but she looked down at them shaking her head. "Ow...that stings. Wanna see?" She blasted them back, the men scattering as she flew closer before heading toward Sebastian. She landed in front of him and shook her head, smirking at him. She was about to say something when an Acolyte rushed her from behind. She grabbed the man by the arm and swung him around, tossing him away into the rest of the warehouse.
"Fancy meeting you here. Getting in over your head?" Helen raised her eyebrow as she reached over and gripped the silver bracket that had punched through his stomach. She gave it a quick yank and tossed it aside. "So, before I blast them all into unconsciousness, what the hell is going on here so I don't make it worse on accident?"

He was struggling to try and get the bracket free, opting for using his knife to pry it off. Between the slow burning he was feeling and simply the awkward angle he was having trouble. He'd already tried using blood like acid, one of his go to moves, but the thing seemed to be enchanted. Likely they were ready for him. It seemed his relic collection was becoming known. Smart man would say he should stop for a bit. But he simply couldn't. The next relic he got could be the very one to help him free his mother. He nearly had a solid grip, despite the burning on his fingers he had to try. But his concentration was broken by a very familiar voice. He stopped and looked over at her, watching closely. he gave a light chuckle as she blasted one of the inner circle. 'Finally, a real hero is here.'"Seriously?" 'Like you're a hero.'"Yeah, I don't really do the whole 'good' thing very well." He said with a laugh. As she came over to him he gave her a smirk and a wink. "Bubbles, my blonde minx, I knew you couldn't stay away from me." As she pulled the bracket out he fell to the ground holding his stomach. With a sigh he realized he needed to feed to get the wounds to close or else he'd die, or go into a blood rage. As she asked for a synopsis he gave a light nod. "Simple, some cult that worships a servant of a servant to my grandfather wants to bring him here. If he were valuable I'd let them and hold him for ransom. However it'd be like trying to get ransom from Tony Stark by holding his third favorite pen hostage. But anyways, long story short. They're opening a portal, likely inadvertently releasing some horrible evil, like me, on Earth. I need that staff, by any means possible. Oh, and I need to feed." Admiral Fluffy Paws slowly came up to them and sat beside Sebastian, looking up at Helen. 'Captain Marvel, always a pleasure.'Sebastian dropped to one knee beside Admiral Fluffy Paws and began to draw on his forehead in blood. "Until I feed I'm useless. But I do have assistance...." He said a few words and smoke began to swirl around Admiral Fluffy Paws who began to change into his monster form. Admiral Fluffy paws let out a loud roar and ran into the middle of the cult members as they scattered. He came back dragging one screaming cult member by his ankle and dropped him in front of Sebastian. "Get that staff Bubbles, but be careful. I'll be right behind you....because I like the view." He said with a wink of his reddening eye before grabbing the cult member and sinking his fangs into his neck.

Cap just rolled her eyes at Sebastian's flirting, ignoring the nickname as she knew any sort of response only encouraged him more. Hearing that the bad guys with the magic staff were trying to open a portal to summon something ugly had her attention. Objectives; get magic staff. Second possible objective depending on how good he behaved; give Sebastian the staff.
"Admiral," She gave Admiral Fluffy Paws a nod and a quick scritch under the chin. "Can't say the same unfortunately." She began looking over the room and making a plan of attack.
"Oh, try and keep that one alive, this time, yeah?" She shouted over her shoulder as she flew toward the regrouping men. "Some of us aren't as morally ambiguous as you are. I'm not really a fan of the killing." Some of the more trained members of the cult had had time to gather some energy and were waiting for her. The second blast wasn't nearly as nice as the first. She landed on the ass Sebastian seemed so fond of with a small grunt and grimaced, though they looked a little too triumphant for her liking.
"Ugh...I hate absorbing magic...it's all tingly like my foot fell asleep or something." She got up, shaking out her hands trying to dispel the feeling. She spotted the leader and the staff in his hands and she quickly focused in on him. Everyone else was just fodder really. She pointed her fingers at them and pretended to make pistols. They all stared at her for a second, and when nothing happened they started laughing. Then she started laughing and actually firing from her pointer fingers. They stopped laughing. And she charged forward for the staff.
Lydia had snatched the staff out of his hand and flew upwards out of reach. Well, out of reach for hands and normal, martial means of taking someone down. Of course, she was dealing with magic users. They had a few more tricks up their sleeves. Like the brackets they had used to pin Seb to the wall. They didn't puncture her like they did him, but they did pin her arm to the wall, and then her leg in two separate places and then her other arm. She still had a hold of the staff though and looked over at Sebastian.
"Blood! Catch!" she shouted, tossing him the staff with her free hand. Then she went about pulling the brackets out of the wall.

"Awww Bubbles, you never let me have any fun. But I must say there is something sexy about you being all commanding and dominant."
He said with a laugh before coughing up some blood. He needed to feed immediately. He watched her fly off to do battle and turned his attention to the cultist that had been deposited in front of him. He quickly began to feed and could've easily drained the man dry. But Helen wanted him to not kill so he let the man go and picked up his sword. He watched Admiral Fluffy Paws chase some of the cultists around and generally cause chaos. He charged forward as he watched them pin Helen to the wall. With a sigh he drew one of his knives and threw it, pinning one man's hand to the wall.
"Yeah, see! That hurts!"
He turned his attention back to Helen and grabbed the staff she threw to him. With a spin he caught it and hit one man in the jaw who rushed him. Sebastian turned his attention back to the opening portal in the middle of the room. He needed to shut it down immediately. The apparent head of the cult rushed him. Sebastian hurled a ball of hellfire at him causing him to drop, screaming. He began to chant while holding the staff and soon the portal was closed.
"Ya know Bubbles, I really like that look of you all tied down."
He said with a laugh before Admiral Fluffy paws pounced on one man who was trying to sneak up on Sebastian. Sebastian used his sword to deflect magical attacks before disappearing into a firey portal as he charged at a group. He reappeared above them, landing in the middle of them all and began slashing and kicking.

It took her longer than she would have liked to get the first bracket out of the wall it was deeply embedded in, but the first one was always the hardest. After she had full mobility with one arm, it was easier to pry the rest of with sheer strength. These things obviously weren't designed to hold her. She glanced over at Seba he went to town using the staff. Sure his car was there to watch his back, but now it looked like he was playing with his food.
Can't let him have all the fun.
Flying around the outside of the group Sebastian had dropped himself in the middle of, she picked the guys off one or two at a time, grabbing them by shirt collars or limbs and tossing them away.
"Why don't you stop playing with your food and we go before-" Cap got cut off as she got blindsided by a rather nasty binding attack that sent her tumbling. This one seemed like it was designed with her in mind as it continually circled around her and got stronger the more she struggled. Lydia stopped struggling, thinking that would help. But it didn't. It made it worse.
"This is what I mean. Something like this. Something bad." she gave up not struggling and started to make her whole body glow, trying to use the energetic output as a buffer between her and the spell. It was only mildly successful.

As he fought and slashed in the group he noticed every now and then a few would get pulled away, thanks to Helen. With a light laugh he continued to fight and take as many out as possible. Sure if she'd let him kill they'd be gone by now doing, well he had a few ideas, but still, gone. But fine he would wound, maybe maim a few, but no killing. He gave his word, kind of, and that usually meant something. Well he'd killed the cult leader, but that didn't really count, or so he'd claim.
"I fail to see how this is my fault. If you'd let me kill that wouldn't have happened. But don't worry, I'll save you dollface."
He didn't know the spell so simply counter acting it wouldn't work. Killing him could work, but it could result in the spell going for broke and killing her. That was not an option, so he found who'd cast the spell and grabbed him by the throat.
'Let me go Blood or I kill her!'
"No, you won't."
Sebastian released his pheromones, knowing they'd have a hypnotizing effect. He set the guy down and nodded towards Helen.
"Let her go."
'Yes sir.'
"Good boy."
He said as the man released the spell. Those who were conscious were now taking off on a run, trying to escape with their lives. Admiral Fluffy Paws scratched at some but mostly just tried to ensure they left. Sebastian took the hypnotized man's hand, twisted and threw him. Admiral Fluffy Paws pounced and held him down. Sebastian smirked as the man tried to escape. Sebastian walked over to Helen and smirked a bit.
"You ok Bubbles? Oh, and if the man annoyed you say the word and Admiral Fluffy Paws will finish him off. I think it's only fair but then again you have morals and what not."

Lydia continued to fight the urge to struggle, just trying to keep a constant energy output while Sebastian took care of the spell caster. She saw him focus in on one guy and grab him by the throat. Threatening to kill her was always a classic, and she didn't even try not to roll her eyes. It wasn't very often she got to see Sebastian's powers at work. It was a little unnerving to see a man so vociferous in his objection to helping change so swiftly and come under Sebastian's command. It did serve as a rather stark reminder just what he could be capable of. He was so nonchalant with it too, just tossing the guy away.
She stretched a bit, after the spell broke, watching the Admiral chase the rest away before pouncing on the spellcaster. She looked up at him, eyebrow cocked a bit sarcastically at him. "At least one of us has to have morals, kitten. Or else we wouldn't be in the hero business. I'm still not entirely convinced you are." She walked over to Admiral Fluffy Paws and pulled the man out from under his big, fluffy paw. Of course, she had figured he was still compliant, still under the effect of Sebastian's pheromones. It took her two seconds, which was two seconds too late, to realize, that no, he was back in control of his mental faculties. He had one spell ready and flung it at her. She barely dodged to the side, but saw it hit Seb. She reacted perhaps a bit more violently than intended, face snarling as she hauled back, punching the guy so hard he flew into a wall and dropped to the floor, unconscious. "Oh...sh*t."
She flew over just to make sure the guy was still breathing at the very least. "Sh*t sh*t sh*t." She flipped the guy over and checked for a pulse, found him breathing as well. She stood up, covering her face with her hand, mostly mentally smacking herself for not checking her strength against a normal human. "F*cking hell...that was stupid..."

Sebastian was examining the staff since he figured the fight was done. The last guy was complacent and out of the battle. Meanwhile the rest of the cult was unconscious, maybe dead, or gone. Either way, Sebastian knew the fight was done. The staff was the real deal, exactly what he needed. Placing it back in his belt he turned his attention back to Helen and saw her going for the guy Admiral Fluffy Paws was holding down. He'd only hit him with a light dose of pheromones, enough to get him to stop the spell and save Helen. He didn't think the guy would be so out of it, and he was right. Especially with the guy's apparently magical affinity. Certain aspects made the pheromone tricky, like psychics and magical beings. Of course Sebastian just figured that was because he himself was a magical being, and not too strong of one.
"Hold on Marvel!"
But it was too late. The spell flew past Helen and Sebastian felt it hit him in in the chest. He flew back and landed on a body and what was left of the skylight. Admiral Fluffy Paws jumped over him, snarling and protecting him. He glanced up and saw Marvel possibly kill the guy. As she checked for his pulse he came to and pushed Admiral Fluffy Paws aside and sat up, pushing his hood back and brushing his hair off his face.
"Never had anyone care enough to try and avenge me before."
He said which struck him as odd. Admiral Fluffy paws helped him up before shifting back to a small cat. He used the magical staff like a cane till he healed.
"Well, let's get out of here. The cops are coming and as you said I'm not quite a hero. Of course I try so that sentence kinda hurts. I mean we can't all have super amazing parents. Some of us are stuck with the families we're dealt."
He said before shaking his head.
"F*ck, f*ck, f*ckity f*ck, f*ck. Alright, you should come with me. I'm gonna make you some dinner because I feel I owe you and I have some things I need to check out. Other than your body of course which I check out on a nightly basis."
'Well that was blunt, even for you Brother Blood.'
"Agreed.But anyways, let's go."

The first little truth out of Sebastian's mouth didn't seem all that out of place to Lydia. "It was a knee jerk reaction, and you're on my team. I would do that for anyone who watches my back." She said as she pulled away from the unconscious man, floating back in his general direction.
The second confession though, made her look at him strangely. He was usually so proud of who he was, not feeling guilty about where he came from. He was always searching for his mother, to rescue her. So when he took a jab at his family, comparing it to her own "super amazing" parents, it struck her as odd. She hovered closer to him, watching him curiously before he started to swear a blue streak.
"Nightly...basis? Ok lust-for-brains, that's the exact opposite thing you tell a girl when you want to take her home." She turned her head toward the sound of sirens and frowned before looking up through the busted sky light. "Hang tight, the Captain Marvel Express is boarding now." She scooped up Admiral Fluffy Paws and put an arm around Sebastian's waist before flying up through the skylight and into the night.
"Point me in the right direction...and your hand better stay above my waist or I'm dropping you like a hot rock."

He was quickly coming to the realization that the spell he'd been hit with wasn't just a simple offensive spell. He'd encountered a few of this variety. The person was losing so they opted to use a spell that pretty much just screwed the person over. Hell he'd been toying around with a few himself just in case he'd lose. But then again he didn't like thinking about possibly losing. In his mind, losing and failing to find his mother, wasn't an option. He knew before this was over he'd be travelling through the many realms of Hell, making many more enemies.
"If you give me a chance I'll explain everything. Plus I was serious about making you dinner."
He said as he was scooped up by Lydia and they took off into the air. It was rather demeaning being carried like this, but of course it's not like he could argue. Mainly because she could easily over power him without thinking about it, and she had Admiral Fluffy Paws. He couldn't risk him getting hurt since it'd be more damaging then he wanted to think about.
"Well you see that's nearly tempting. Primarily because I can fly so simply dropping me might be worth it. Well until you firework me in face."
He said with a laugh. He began to swirl his hand and smirked lightly.
"I need you to trust me. I know being the Prince of Hell that might be asking a lot. But I don't like the idea of having trails."
With a spin of his hand a flaming portal appeared ahead of them. Inside the portal another street could clearly be seen. This way they'd be further away from the police and whatever agency might be following them.
"This'll bring us a mile away from here. It helps me get away faster. I'm a fan of getting away and not dealing with people. It makes things easier. People see vampire sorcerer and assume the worst. Then again I don't exactly give them reason to think otherwise."

Lydia thought for a hot second that she should have just thrown Sebastian over her shoulder, but that would have given him a nice view of her rear end which he apparently looked at every night anyway. She was still dubious on the offer for dinner. She knew somewhat how his powers worked and while she knew he was a better person than he let on, she wondered sometimes if he had toyed with the idea of hitting her with some of those pheromones he'd blasted at the bad guy.
"Oh, you leave a pretty big trail. Dead bodies, destruction of property, you know, the usual. So, you can not like the idea, but don't deny that you leave one." She looked at the portal, thinking she could fly a mile in a blink of an eye, but she went through it anyway. It was a bit disorientating but she shook it off relatively quickly, looking around to get her bearings.
"I do trust you. Mostly. When we're out in the field. But you're right, you don't generally give people a reason to think otherwise. Probably because you like being the Prince of Hell," she snarked at him. "So, you can make me dinner, and only dinner. Admiral Fluffy Paws, you'll make sure he keeps his hands to himself, yeah?" She looked down at the cat in her other arm, grinning.

"I never said I didn't leave a trail Bubbles. I just said I didn't like doing it. Although apparently I should tone down the killing when that's the first thing you list off. I suppose I do have a tendency to get carried away."
He knew he had a tendency to do some killing on occasion. Ok, not really just on occasion, quite often. Hell tonight alone he'd killed a few people. Actually it was a rather tame night for him. He really should work on that. But she was right. He was the Prince of Hell and he enjoyed being the Prince of Hell. It was a title he cherished, especially because his mother enjoyed the title of Princess of Hell.
"Dinner and only dinner, I promise. If my natural charm seduces you then I can't be held accountable."
'Oh brother...'
"Hey it's happened before."
'Your memory is fascinating.'
"Just like the rest of me."
He said with a light laugh. He adjusted himself to get more comfortable before as he let Lydia simply carry him.
"Besides, if I disagreed to your terms you could simply flex and snap me in half. I've seen others cut in half and it looks painful. Of course the screaming should've been a tip off. Wow, I really am messed up aren't I?"
He asked shaking his head. He glanced over and noticed Admiral Fluffy paws tail swishing around.
"What is with cats and being held?"
'Not on my terms.'
"Anyways, my place is about two miles West of here. On the corner of 5th and 30th."

Dinner did sound good, as she had forgotten to eat except for breakfast that morning. She hadn't really thought about it until he said something and her stomach decided to take that moment to rumble hungrily. And she was fairly confident in her ability to resist his charms, especially if there was food. She was a big fan of food. She was always hungry anyway with the rate she burned through calories and her metabolism. She just sometimes forgot to eat if she was deep into a project or training.
She let out a small "Hmpf" at his suggestion that she'd snap him in half. "That's not how I handle disagreements. There are several people who will tell you so. They usually ended up through walls." She looked around to get her barrings so she could follow his directions home. She headed west until she hit 30th, landing on his roof. "I'd toss you into the sun," she smirked, setting him down.
"Also, given your circumstances, I'd say you're entitled to be a little 'messed up' as it were." She cradled the Admiral against her, stroking him from head to tail. "We're all a little messed up," she said quietly, not meeting his gaze.

He laughed lightly as she mentioned likely putting him through a wall as opposed to snapping him in half. He actually didn't think she was lying or anything. Sure she had a sweetness to her, something he found interesting actually. But she was also an incredible powerhouse who could crush pretty much anything or anyone. Yet she didn't, something he found odd. She could likely do whatever she wanted and only a handful could stop her. Yet she didn't, she was all good and so forth. That did sort of blow his mind.
"I don't doubt it. But I like to think I could escape before you got the chance. Between my powers and my charm I'd get free. Besides I'd like to think you couldn't bring yourself to do it."
He said with a light laugh. Of course he didn't feel a need to go too in depth with how he could get free. There were numerous ways he could get free. Biting, mist form, a spell, pheromones, a decent list. Of course he wouldn't mind biting her. Having her enthralled would definitely prove useful and fun. He put his hood down as she set him down and watched Admiral Fluffy paws simply get comfortable as she petted him. He rolled his eyes and made his way to the door to head inside.
"You have no idea how far it goes Bubbles. I keep more to myself than I probably should."
He said before heading inside. He didn't check to see if she'd follow, simply assumed she would. After going down the stairs he turned down a hall and unlocked the first door he came to.
"Make yourself at home Bubbles, I gotta change first."
The 'apartment' was more like a decent sized loft with two levels. The bottom level was the main living area which was wide open. It looked a lot like what one would expect a bachelor's place to look like who didn't come there often. He had numerous paintings on the walls, most his. Once he was inside Admiral Fluffy paws would get free from Lydia and head to a large cat tree that took up a corner of one room. Sebastian ran up a set of stairs and disappeared into his bedroom. He changed quickly, just a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt, both paint spattered. After changing he came back down the stairs casting a quick spell to cover up the runes that covered his body with the tattoos a lot of people knew him for.
"So what are ya hungry for Bubbles?"
