notes| This is alot of characters in one thread, I know, so I was thinking a good idea would be to go ahead and place, in the title of your reply, indicate if it's a direct response to Nathan's entrance (ie: 'Nathan' in the title bar), for anyone else involved(ie: 'Open' in the title bar'), or a specific character present (ie: 'Susie Sunshine' in the, you guessed it, title bar.). Alternatively, just jump in and enjoy the warm fuzzies.

WHAT: Angela and Nathan talk. For real this time.
WHEN: July 17th
WHERE: The Hyperion Hotel; Angela's room
RATING: PG
STATUS: In Progress

Angela leaned down with a deep smile on her face, giving her grandsons a tight hug, one with both arm, before turning her head and pressing a quick kiss to both their cheeks, "You boys behave, all right?" Angela asked with a soft chuckle. "At least, try not to destroy anything," She said with a wink, ruffling their hair as she stood, looking at her eldest son. She really hated that Nathan felt that she had to be watched while around her grandsons, like she was going to turn into some sort of demon herself and hurt them. She had done a lot of bad things in her life, a lot of things that she regretted, but she had never gone out of her way to purposefully hurt a member of her family. Some of the things she had done may have had that side effect, but she had never hurt them intentionally. If only Nathan would understand that, if only he could know what she thought every time she looked at them, what she felt about everything that had happened, but he had made it rather clear that he had no interest in her lies or half truths. And it was honestly debatable whether he would even listen to her truths. But debatable or not, it was still worth a try.

As all of them turned to leave, Angela reached out briefly to settle a hand on Nathan's arm, looking up at him with a soft, thoughtful gaze, "Do you think we could talk?" She asked carefully. "Please?"

Silent night. Another silent night. In a city like Los Angeles, it was rare to have a night so quiet, even for the Gentlemen. Not that they were complaining. No, the Gentlemen and their pets were having a grand time. In a city so silent, they were never safer. Which was why they had waited so long to choose their targets. Seven lovely targets, seven lovely hearts, each one sweeter than the last. They were well protected, these lovelies, but patience indeed was a virtue, and one of their pets had discovered a crack in the defenses.

It was an hour past midnight when they flocked to the streets. Even the typical Los Angeles nightlife had quieted down, and so they were barely noticed. Seven men, in crisp black suits, with shoes polished to mirror-shine, gliding several inches off the ground, with over a dozen humanoid pets, each one wearing an unbound straight jacket and a full face mask. The Gentlemen glided down the street, their pets romping along beside them like obedient dogs. They drifted, one by one, wearing matching grins, into an old and condemned warehouse. The pets pulled apart the blockades, and the Gentlemen drifted purposefully into the sewers, moving unerringly under the city until they rose up again from the dank underground in the basement of their goal. The pets once again displayed their usefullness, pulling open the grates and the walls blocking the path, until they were, at last, within the walls that held their prizes.

The Hyperion Hotel. Home to seven lovely hearts, that would soon belong to them.
