Noel thought long and hard about those rules before she gave a bit of a nod. They didn't seem hard. In fact, they were very loose and easy rules. How did he command the authority of an alpha just letting everyone do as they pleased with small parameters? She was used to structure, order, and regiment under life in the lab and this was all very---free? "Okay. As long as I don't have to spend another night in a cell room I'll do whatever." She said since she knew there were repercussions for her actions, as Sydney and Emar had been very clear in structuring. Noel gave Parker a teasing look when he said it was best to stay out of trouble. "You know from experience?" She smirked back at him since she had found he was okay with sarcasm and she was trying to learn how to use it more. She was adapting quickly due to her gene enhancements and some prior exposure and training with Sydney. But she still had a little to learn in the area of socialization. "So what do you all do for fun around here? It seems so quiet--" She began but Emar came in with a concerned look on his face. "So Mr. Foresythe just called to state Mara was acting odd. I told him to let her stay in isolation. Surely she is just expressing something after the chaos we've all bee in." He said though he looked unsure. Noel wasn't sure why he was so concerned over Mara like that but she figured it was best to stay out of it.

At the joke Parker smirked and nodded honestly to her. “ yep.” He Stated simply since he didn’t want to give the girl bad information and end up in a bad spot. At the question about what they all did for fun, Parker pursed his lips a bit in thought. “ I like to read.” He said smoothly getting a nod from Theo. “ I like to do a bit of everything, cooking, reading, going out side in the gardens, sparing.” Theo Stated smoothly to Noel since she probably had no idea how small her little word had been before. When John came back in with the words on Mara he frowned,” What kind of Odd?” He Stated wondering exactly was going on since his sister had been different as of late. —— “Why would you even feel like that?” She asked out loud to the silence of the isolation chamber, looking around in the pitch black space with a scowl. “Because your inadequate.” She answered her own question but frowned. “ No I am not. Theo said I wouldn’t ever be useless. I-I...” She started off strong but let it fall into empty quiet a few minutes. “ Theodore is useless. You saw him- clinging to that vile thing. Enabling that idiot Doctor to experiment on more...more pain- distrust- no. Trusting, painless- painful?” She questioned again hoping for a firm logical answer but was only answered by her own silence which only made her angry. She gave a loud annoyed screech, that no doubt the staff heard but no one came- sadly. She needed advice, needed to talk where it was safe- better- nonfeeing- subdued...Here all she felt was anger, pulling- pulsing- throwing itself at her mental barrier she had made to hide everything from herself. She didn’t want to feel like this- to feel at all. She missed father, her little room in Russia, her role- her purpose... No... she could not have that anymore- they took everything away from her. Her room, her father, her life, her wings, a hand, a purpose...A meaning to stick around this miserable existence perhaps... Theo killed her father, Alex took her wings away again, Zada stole her hand...John made her life hell. What bothered her so much was that now she knew her life was hell- she could feel the pain pulsing through her so hard it felt like physical pain- something she wasn’t used to. Sitting on the floor she wrapped her arms around herself and hugged herself, actually shaking in fear of all these emotions. She- Maraline- the infamous cold blooded war machine- was scared of herself- of these tiny emotions. After a few hours, her logic finally responded to itself, making her focus on her thoughts a moment. “Alex tried to help- the wings left because you failed to hold them up. He kept you still even if you aren’t complete because he finds you useful. Theo asked permission to kill father, I had given it freely. Zada got away with taking my hand because it was self preservation. John however was guilty, as was Leah- always part of the problem.” She nodded to her logic since to her it was reasonable. A feeling suddenly washed over her- forcing a sob to escape her lips as tears left her eyes. ‘What was wrong with her!? Why couldn’t she stop feeling these terrible terrible feelings she hated so? Was it human nature trying to emerge from her? That flawed thing she despised?’ She paused in her thought when she smelled a trail of fear from outside the door- some one was there- standing unsure by the door- shifting awkwardly to the other foot- heart rate high, nervous- scared- human flight or flight response-had they been listening to her talk?

Noel looked a little funny at the idea of reading. She wasn’t allowed to learn how to read. They didn’t want her breaking out of her cell or getting any strange ideas in the labs. It was RO’s rules, not the Doctor’s. He gave her books to read in between travel and places. She learned regardless but it always seemed like this forbidden thing. When Theo seemed unsure of this news from Mara and this Alex, Noel tensed some. Emar made a small face that was uncertain. “Well, Alex is being told she put herself in isolation after getting angry with her. Then his staff is reporting she is muttering about me and acting erratic.” He said folding his arms. “Mara hasn’t ever been difficult like that...I’m worried she is spiraling down a bad path.” He knew Theo would have a better sense of his sister to know, but something didn’t sit right with Emar over this news. ~~~ Alex flared at the large metal gate over his office door, knowing his staff put the lock down on because of Mara’s reported behavior from the security posted outside the isolation chamber. Aparently threats were made but Alex wasn’t so sure. Mara had never been a threat to him...then again that looks he gave him spooked him enough to call Emar. The medical staff had been posted but one doctor, Dr. Dorande, the one Mara liked, decided to wait on his patient. He didn’t want her alone it seemed.

Theodore frowned as the Doctor explained more about her behavior. “ That’s a very big red flag. Has she asked for anything from you lately?” He asked questioningly since Mara only got that way when she needed help and never got what she needed- her focus was indomitable and scary occasionally so he was trying to help. “ As a precaution I would prepare a dose of the Gene for her. She might need a hard reset- as well as extreme isolation.” He stated clearly to the room about mara since he knew her best. “And John, I would advise you stay indoors today- just in case.” He stood up, letting go of Leah’s leg since Parker and Gerald were there to get Noel if she moved anywhere by Leah- that and he trusted Leah could take care of herself. He glanced at Parker and Noel both next. “ Please Stay inside, in case Maraline gets out and if feeling up to coming back over, as an advisory- Gerald can we order the staff to be armed with tranquilizers guns?” He asked glancing over at Gerald who nodded and saw Jolette was already on her phone messaging someone over it no doubt. ————- Mara moved closer to the door, being silent a few minutes before she suddenly punch the door with her metal hand. The loud bang was enough to scare anyone. She giggled loudly when she heard the security officers’ heart skyrocket. She liked scaring people right now, some way or another it made her feel like it was justified. She had suffered so it was there turn now. Mara did her damnest to break the isolation door lock- finally after a few moments pried the lock from the door- the loud screeching of metal being torn could be heard through the door no doubt. She paused a second to check her metal hand, seeing it was holding up- a little warm but not too bad- she kicked the door open. The force from her little force was tremendous as it slammed the door open- taking out three men by the door with the single move. Her eyes went tot he man by the door still, hand in his gun. She swung her leg up and around, hooking his back with her ankle and slamming the man into the wall- by her favorite Doctor it seemed. Eyes a little puffy from crying, the whites visible and pupils displayed but He amount of sudden light she smiled wide at the man. “ Excuse me Dr. Dorande, you will have to come see me later- it’s time for my therapy.” She Stated in a twisted sort of way before she sprinted off down the hall- pushing past everyone- with or without a gun. Throwing some who got physical with her into walls or through them. She didn’t seem to care as long as they moved. When a large metal grate got into her way to enter the main hall, she did her best to rip it but only managed to mangle the metal- it didn’t budge however. She moved off to the back stair way knowing there was an exit by Alex’s office she could use. Once to the second floor she skidded to a stop to see more men... In less then thirty second she had downed all twelve men, all toting guns- all alive thankfully but not in a good place- her face was bright with a smile as she glanced at Alex who was behind a large metal grate- similar to the one by the hall. She gave it a purse of her lips before she saw a small weakness in this one- the door jam. She swung a reinforced leg at the wall and broke it, before gripping it and jarring it to the side- practically opening the door way. She slipped into the door, and slipped past Alex- barely brushing him-not in a painful way but a very gentle way as she dashed and jumped out the window and out onto the lawn, the sound of glass breaking accompanied her down...

Emar thought back long and hard on Theo’s question till something came to his mind. She had been acting oddly only a few weeks ago...but he had been busy and things got crazy with Theodore and Noel. He cleared his throat and nodded to Theo. “Actually yes, she was acting oddly. Asked me about odd things with—well I doubt it was emotional distress since Mara was always well controlled and trained.” He said though he looked unsure on that. When he was told to prep some of the gene, he nodded. He would have to get it from Leah, but that could wait a moment...”Well I will need Leah to come with me for that. And no, I don’t plan on wandering far. I know Mara hardly likes me.” Leah looked at her father and gave a small frown but knew she had to help if Mara was freaking out. She would do that for Theo more than Mara... She got up and smiled, kissing Theo’s cheek before she walked over to her father. “Fine with me. I’ll help however I can.” She looked to Noel, finding the girl looked worried. She didn’t like that and felt like she should do something to help soothe this. “Hey Noel would you like to come give me company? I hate needles and I’m sure it’s good if you, me, dad, and Parker stick together Incase Mara comes looking for Theo.” She said and Noel gave a rather curious look as thought she wanted to go talk with the new woman but paused to look to see if it was okay. “What do you think Parker?” She asked since she trusted him ‘ore than anyone. “Theo?” She then asked since he was the leader of this outfit.

Theo shifted a little uncomfortable when Leah left his side to her fathers, especially after hearing what he said. He glanced at Jolette who rose a brow at him. “ Leah would you like a tranq gun?” She asked since it was obvious Theo felt Leah would need it, not to mention it might be good therapy for Leah, at least in her opinion. Parker nodded firmly to Theo’s words since it was dangerous if Mara was on a rampage. When Leah asked if they would go with he frowned in thought, however glanced over at theo when Noel seemed to be asking if it were okay to be near Leah. Theo tensed a second before glancing back over at anole, seeming to be thinking before he attempted to relax, or at least look relaxed. “ That’s fine, you have to listen to everything John and Parker tell you to do. Also Parker a moment in the hall?” He asked a bit as he gave everyone a nod and went out the door, Parker stepping out with him. Theo seemed stressed but handling it well for his state. “ If Mara shows up- Protect John and Leah. Jolette and I will be patrolling the property a bit, Gerald will have his staff and computers.” He stated before Parker looked very suprised, was he leaving Leah’s and John’s protection to him? Against Mara? Was he crazy- however his thoughts left to a more comfortable one when Theo gave him a soft smile. “ I trust you Parker. Also- her left should is a little weaker then her right- she attempted to fight a train when she was younger.” He stated before he left down the hall- soon followed by Jolette who patted him on the head on her way past- Gerald going the opposite way, leaving him to back into the room to see the three.

Leah liked the idea of a tranq gun as much as the next person. But should she really tranq her techinical sister-in-law? The answer was no, but Leah still felt like the gun would come in handy. She wasn’t sure how to control her gene and even then it wasn’t boned or as strong as Mara. She was better off protecting herself with something she could control. “I would like one Jolette. Thanks.” She said, noticing the way Theo seemed very on edge. Poor man just came out of his room and now he was dealing with this mess...she wished he would one day get a break or a chance to breathe easy, but that seemed impossible in this disfuncional family. So she took the gun and waited for Parker to get back while she chatted with her father awkwardly, like he wasn’t about to prod her for blood. When they got away and made their way to the more central lab area of Gerald’s, she sat at the chair while her father gathered the supplies he needed. Noel looked on edge while she sat next to Parker, like she was scared to touch or sniff Leah without permission. So Leah decided to break some of the divide. “Noel, I love your hair. Would you mind if I braided it while Dad works? I promise I’ll be gentle.” Noel looked very unsure but soon gave a small nod. She walked over to Leah and sat down by her though she kept space. After all, even Leah could feel Emar and Parker were on edge, probably not with Noel but it was hard for her to tell. Leah reached out and gave her hair a quick touch before she gave a smile. “It’s so soft, like a feather. I used to love braiding my hair as a child. I used to make Sydney teach me how and soon my father—well the doctor learned how. He used to tie a ribbon in my hair because it was so long it would get in my face.” She said as she braided her hair, ignoring the needles that her father set out. She just didn’t want to think about herself as an experimental creature just there to be prodded for cells, so she focused on Noel. It was soothing really to have another female to talk to that didn’t want her dead...one that understood a bit of what the experiment side of things was. “He really cares about you.” Leah blinked at the statement from Noel and gave her a small nod. “Yes, my father does. He took me out of the labs and let me grow up with a normal life. Well as normal as it could be before I met Theo again and the others.” Noel tilted her head, but Leah adjusted her head back up so she could continue braiding her bangs away from her face. “Again? Were you in the labs with him? Is that why you two are bonded?” Leah gave Noel’s confused question a smile and she gave a small giggle. “Sort of. Also I love Theo very much. You’ll like him too once he has a chance to settle in. He’s fun and great at hide and seek.” She smirked, remembering their first home date and when she got her first kiss from him. She killed the blush before it could make her twittery and pulled a rope tie from the package of syringes and tied it into a bow on Noel’s hair. Noel smiled and touched the bow before she looked back at Leah. Emar was beside her and had a syringe by her arm, though Leah seemed to be ignoring it well. Noel remembered she said she was scared of needles and decided to speak up. “I like Theo and you Miss Leah. I want to get along with everyone like I do with Parker...but will Mara hurt you guys? I won’t let her.” Leah gave Noel a shake of her head even though she winced some when the needle went in and her father began taking samples. “You already fit in Noel and Mara won’t hurt us with everyone here. I promise.” She looked to Parker then and gave him a soft smirk. “So Theo our you on baby sitting duty?” She asked to cut the tension she felt building and to keep herself calm as her father drew her blood into little vials.

Parker followed along with Noel knowing to keep an eye on things, he promised Theo- and he was being entrusted with Leah- of all people. He watched as Noel and Leah interacted, finding nothing too worrying there, even John seemed okay with things as he prepared things to take from Leah. It was a little weird to see her like an actua experiment when Theo never treated her like one. He was sitting and listening to what was going on around them, the metallic smell of blood, and cleaner of the lab when Leah spoke in his direction. He rose a brow in her direction at the question. “ more or less- I’m the buffer between Mara and you three.” He Stated feeling a little prideful about this since Theo was overly protective often. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m scared of what might happen but I promise I will do what I can to protect you. After all it’s not often Theo gives me the important job.” He said almost sounding smug.

Leah nodded, figuring Theo was the one that put Parker in charge of helping. After all, Parker was getting stronger each day and he still had his wings. Leah giggled a bit to herself at his smug comment though. It just tickled her that Parker liked the responsibility Theo gave him, like a younger brother to an older one. “True enough. Theo is very protective and likes his control. I trust you will do what you have to Parker. Mara is frickin terrifying so I would think you would be insane not to be worried.” Leah said which made her father frown. “Yes...I just wish she responded to her fail safe words or the mint bribes like when she was a child...” he muttered before he went to work bandaging Leah up. Leah’s phone began to buzz and instantly she picked it up when she noticed it was Alex. She didn’t even get a chance to ask what was wrong before Alex began talking. “Leah, Mara is loose. After she screwed up my security and injured a handful she busted through my office gate and left. She looked...just don’t get near her.” He said, actually sounding unnerved. Was...was Alex scared? Leah looked to the others in the room before she spoke, her own face concerned. “She’s gone? She didn’t hurt you?” “No no, I don’t think she had a reason to...still she started all this talk on feelings and now she looks unstable. Are you safe? Do you need me to come to you?” He asked and Leah could hear people in the background freaking out over him. Leah swallowed hard and shook her head. Alex couldn’t do much for them anyways. “No, stay out and safe. Besides I’ve got Parker and Theo and Jolette. Hell Gerald is scary as hell too.” She said, as she contemplated maybe going somewhere more safe. But this was all they could manage while her father prepared the vial that was already now being prepped in the syringe full of her blood. She hung up on Alex and looked to Parker with a bit of an uneasy look. “Alex said Mara broke out and that she doesn’t look stable...” Her father swallowed hard at the news. “Then she will be here soon.”

Slipping onto the estate was easier with out the wings, she had to admit that- small enough to hide and dodge easily. Even passed jolette, which made her smile widely since this was now a game to her. She didn’t see Theodore however but assumed he was wrapped up with Leah- not that she minded her target wasn’t his toys this trip. She slipped into a open window silently before looking around to get her bearings. She was by the interior rooms- the labs, gerald’s Study and Ryan usual lounge were near by. She took a deep breath, tasting the air for her target however what interested her was that she could smell the new toy, Parker and Leah’s blood. She wouldn’t mind seeing them make a mess of the pitri dish. She slipped down the halls, quickly- feet padding lightly and swift as she followed the smell. She glanced around the corner to see the whole troop- including her target... —- Parker was sitting. A bit awkwardly when Leah hung up the phone but he auddenly stood up and moved in front of the door- more angled from where he had been- since suddenly Mara was there barreling I tot he room with a nasty look at john of all people. Parker took the blood to the chest but did well to block a good part of it before pushing her back. She gave him a purses lip look before smiling almost cattily at him. “ your getting better- reflexes are as good as a Theos I would say.” She Stated before going around him quickly but he easily grabbe she arm and shifted so she slide into the wall looking grounds and had to grip on the floor it seemed. “Alright chew toy- let me Molly hat one then we can play- I’m busy.” She Stated in a very blunt manner but Parker didn’t seem to move as he started down Mara. Wings spread almost aggressively at Mara over John, Leah, and Noel. “Last warning chew toy.” She Stated in a very serious manner. Parker frowned at the deep ness of the threat but took a breath to encourage himself. He could do this, Theo trusted him to this. “I don’t want you hurting our family- as weird as we all are Mara. Why are you so upset?” He asked in a soft tone to her wondering if she would actually speak. She crouched down a moment before her face went blank. “ I don’t understand these things in my head- I can’t be me when i reply!?” She shrieked at them all before she threw herself at Parker in an attack, going for his wing on to get batted off by a strike to her left shoulder, a weakness visible thanks to theo. She rolled to curb the damage from the hit, a glare on her face, hand making a scratching noise on the floor. That wasn’t until she heard a silenced shot- and a pin prick. Raising a brow at the dart from a gun- Leah had? Wasn’t that funny. She pulled the dart and threw it on the floor before glancing at Noel. “ I won’t harm you Noel.” She Stated very easily- not mad at her- as she wasn’t mad at Parker currently, just John- Leah could be a casualty as well. She turned her eyes back to John before spitting a bit of blood that Parker had loosened from her lip. “ you can’t protect both chew toy. Give me one.” She Stated to him, making it so s her woudl go after both of He didn’t fogure out how to handle this better. Parker however stood his ground still and flared at mara but looked defensive this time. Mara gave him a few seconds before she went at him again- initiating he rmode however she jumped quite a few levels- making Parker respond accordingly- blocking with arm and wings- razored out but he was in control. The metallic clash noises were loud- alerting the entire house of what was going on - and where Mara was. Theo sprinted Into the house, sliding to a stop outside he lab door to see Mara in her mode and so was Parker- defending well too. She gave John a nod and glanced at Noel and Leah just as an after through. In a few seconds he had come up behind Mara and grabbed her- sending her mode to a higher level- too high. Her breath panting as she struggled with both Theo who was in his mode and Parker who wa a dead set on protecting. After a short skuffle- a wing jerk and a yelp- before Parker moved away in pain but as soon as he turned around he saw Theo had Mara pinned and was looking a bit gone himself. Level 8 was too high- but Mara was already at the top level and was panting hard- chest pulsing almost like a seizure as she was running out of blood, but she was still snapping at theo like a wind animal. Mouth frothing a bit in her struggle, Theo’s arms bulged from the strength alone to have to keep her pinned however it was taking its toll on hai as well. When John came over finally preparing the needs right and stabbing Mara with it i the chest he relaxed, letting the mode slip off- and he laid there panting hard. It had been insane of him to jump that many levels but he had others he had to protect- even if it were from themselves. Parker went to see to Mara, seeing her body shaking hard- her body being over loaded with the alpha gene had been a lot for it- but it wasn’t nicknamed a ‘hard reset’ for nothing. Theo was holding Mara’s hand as she convulsed, glancing at Parker befor egivibg him a nod of reassurance. “ It’s okay. Everything is okay now.” He Stated as he felt winded, he did glance at john after a moment. “ Next time- close the door.” He Stated since that would have saved them time from Mara, but he ended that thought with a small laugh. They had curbed Maraline’s anger before it killed some one- hopefully Alex’s house was okay- else Leah would be upset.

When Mara came into the room, Leah was quick to get up and move over to her father with Noel in tow. She didn't even really notice she took Noel's hand and pulled the girl with them. It had just been a knee jerk reaction to get away from Mara. Not that Noel minded. Everyone saw the shift from how Mara had been earlier to now. She looked almost rabid. Leah quickly went for the gun as Parker engaged her, taking the time to take her aim. However, firing the dart did little more than to piss Mara off further. Leah felt Noel ease when Mara said she wouldn't be harmed, but that didn't stop the girl from looking alarmed when she saw Parker fighting. It was obvious she was watching him for harm and that she wanted desperately to help him. Leah, however, grabbed her arm and leaned into her ear. "He has this. Getting involved will only lead to Mara getting further out of control." She said before her father pulled her up and away from Noel with a scolding look. The nect group of actions that unfolded had Leah even a bit worked up as Theo got involved and eventually her father. Emar even looked bewildered after jabbing her with the gene. As Mara convulsed, Noel looked horrified and hid by Leah, who stayed back to let Theo and her father handle things. She felt awful for Theo to have to see his sister like this, but she knew he could handle it. He had to handle it. Emar shot him a look at his comment, but soon fell into a chuckle. "Right, like she wouldn't have bulldozed it down." He snickered before he brushed some of his hair out of his face. "Well, we need to get her to isolation when she's ready. We should clean her up. I'll get her something for the pain when the aches set in from jumping those levels." He said as he got to his feet and went to sift through his medical bag. Meanwhile, Noel looked intimidated by how nonchallant everyone was after all that. "How did they jump levels like that and then just come back down? Most experiments die with mass changes." She said to no one in particular but Leah gave her a soft frown. "They've had practice." Leah muttered before she went to go grab a towel to help clean the spit and foam off Mara's face. She felt almost bad for the woman, even if she still was put off by how violent she got all the time.

Theo sat up and looked Noel over with her words, even the fact that Leah wanted to help clean mara up. He gave her a soft look and a kiss on the cheek before standing and moving over to look at Noel better. “ Maraline and I are the original gene experiments with genetic alterations from RO labs. We were trained in controlling our gene since we were able to talk, he’ll walk. It’s another reason we like quiet activities, when we get over emotional we tend to go off the handle.” He explained very simply to the girl but gave her a soft smile. He wasn’t out to scare her after all. He glanced back over at sParker who was straightening his feathers and gave him a nod. “ you did very good Parker, I’m proud of you.” He stated getting a bright smile from The boy since it was nice to know his trust had been rewarded. When Leah had gotten a bit of the foam from Mara’s face he sighed and moved back over to his poor sister. He took the cloth from Leah, giving her a soft kiss,” I have it love, thank you though. Mara should be back to her usual stone cold self soon. Maybe you should contact Alex.” He said smoothly to her since he was trying to get all the bases covered here.

Leah accepted the kiss to her cheek and continued to help how she could. After all, she felt that Theo should be allowed to answer the still unsure Noel. Leah glanced at the girl and saw she was intently listening to Theo's explanation like it was a matter of importance. She looked from Theo to Mara and then at Emar. "I have more to learn." She said before she heard Theo congratulate Parker. She moved over to him and nodded. "It was awesome. Those wings are so cool." She said, making Leah smirk some to herself as she got the last of the foam off Mara's lips. Suddenly Theo took the rag from her which made her look at him. The soft kiss was appreciated and she returned it with a smile. "Yeah Alex may want to hear she's okay. He's heartless, but he likes Mara...kindered spirits I guess." She said before getting up t go call her friend in the hall. She got Alex on the third ring, him sounding a bit worried on the phone. "Leah--did Mara get to you? Is everyone okay?" He asked immediately, making Leah frown some. Alex never got this worried...something about Mara's freak out must have spooked him. "Yes, we have Mara. Parker actually kept her from harming anyone till Theo could get involved. She's okay--well as okay as someone who is pumped full of the gene." She said and Alex gave a heavy sigh, like he had been holding his breath. "Good--I think. At least it's good to hear she didn't hurt anyone. Trust me Leah...You don't want to see what she can do to someoe when she's angry... She tore through my house. I'm having to send half of my staff home and the rest are getting a danger pay raise...Not to mention she ripped through those metal gates I had installed and dented one...Leah, I don't understand how I handled this wrong. I gave her the ability to function as a free agent and work for me and she turns around and goes batshit crazy. I don't get it." His voice sounded unsure and Leah was a bit worried. Maybe she should go see him, to help loosen up some of this tension or to help him out. Or maybe she could bring him there? "Alex give me a second." She walked into the room, placing him on hold as she went to Theo. "ALex says Mara did a number on his home...He sounds worried. Should I go there or bring him here? I don't feel right leaving him by himself." She said, being very honest since Theo was dealing with alot and she didn't want to cause trouble by doing the wrong thing. "I need to speak with Alex later anyways to verify Mara's status and how this situation can be prevented." Emar said as he began setting out doses for Mara of high powered pain killers for when she was lucid enough to deal with them safely.

When Leah came back in to ask about asked he frowned, giving her a serious look. “ Ask him to join us here for a drink. We could all use one. He should be able to collect Mara as well. ((I would advise bringing her fav doctor lol)) We need to discuss his handling of my family.” He Stated obviously placing some blame on Alex since he hadn’t handled her properly and she started spiraling- well even with Zada she had but Alex enabled it in the end. He glanced at John as he started getting pain medication prepared. “ I would advise you save those for Parker, Mara won’t be needing them John.” He stated bluntly since he felt his sister needed a little bit of punishment as it were. He glanced over at Parker and nodded to him before he pulled the empty needle from Mara’s chest and handed it to John. Scooping up his sister he cradled her softly, looking concerned mostly. “ I’ll take her to an isolation room, she needs to be able to relax after that.” He said smoothly before leaving the room with Mara. He seemed upset over the situation but what wasn’t there to be upset about? His sister went off the deep end, Leah and the new experiment- not to mention John were endangered, Alex could have been killed- as well as his staff- and he had to fight his sister for herself. It hurt to know even you were a danger to yourself but he knew it came with the life they were given...

Leah was surprised Theo opened the home to Alex since she knew that he hated Alex and Alex hated him. Then again, the melt down of Mara had led to a temporary alliance it seemed... She nodded and went to go tell Alex to come over when he got the chance. She was relieved to see him but she just wished it was under better circumstances... After Parker was given the sedative to help with the bruising and deep tissue stretching Mara inflicted, Leah went to take a break with her father in the sitting room. Noel was keeping an eye on Parker but was surprisingly quiet, like she knew everyone needed a moment away from the questions and chaos. She had yet to see Theo return and figured he was busy prepping things for Mara. She just hoped he was taking a second for himself in between all of it since he hardly was in top mental shape himself at the moment. When Alex arrived with the doctor in question, Leah was quick to hug him and give the doctor a small wave. Alex seemed to look her over a moment before he seemed to relax. “You look like hell.” Leah joked softly to him and he gave her a smirk. “And you look like you haven’t had decent sleep in days.” He said honestly and Leah knew she must look rough after that last few events...She ignored the truth in his comments and just rolled with it to the next topic. “Come on and sit down. Theo is getting Mara set up in isolation and dad—“ “Is here to ask why we weren’t notified of her changes sooner?” Emar’s snarky question earned him a cold look from Alex. He all but ignored the doctor and sat down on the chair there before looking at the frustrated looking Leah. “I came to check on her and you, not to be put on trial by your father or lectured by the bird. So if that is what this visit is regressing to then I’ll take my time elsewhere.” He said and Leah gave a shake of her head. “No no, we all have some blame in this but no one is pointing fingers. This is just a talk to figure out how to beat help Mara.” She said softly before she shot her father a peeved look. “Which means we keep our scolding to a minimum.” He rolled his eyes but didn’t say another word.
