A handful of wandering souls

He’d felt it, just as they all did when the door between the realm of the living and dead was used. Placed deep within Hade’s home below the Isle for Haemon to bring the souls that passed on to the underworld. The odd thing was that it was a ripple from the other side, meaning someone had come through. Growling he moved, stalking from his outpost back into the tunnel that led below, silent as the night. His movements calculated as he breathed in deeply, nose flaring slightly as he easily picked up the scent that didn’t belong there.
Placing himself so that she’d cross his path he waited for her to pass him in the shadows before calling out, voice deadly calm. “You don’t belong here little hound.” Slowly emerging from the shadows, his eyes glowing and arms crossed over his chest he continued. “None are allowed through the gate from our realm. How’d you get through?”

She sensed him before he spoke, but just barely, and lifted her head to meet his eyes steadily.

“I was sent.  Zeus wants fresh eyes on the Isle.”  She spoke honestly, head tilted just slightly so her throat was bared to the more powerful hound.  The king of the gods had miscalculated in sending a hellhound.  Her loyalty would be first towards the spawn of Cerberus and Hades, and Hades himself, before Zeus.  But that wasn’t for her to argue with.  So she was here to serve and guard, and here was one of the two she was to follow.

@flounderingdestinies​ | wanted Calisto/Theo
Calisto was sitting in the back of Hades food joint, playing with one of the blunt table knives. His hand splayed out on the table as he rapidly moved the knife between the gaps in his fingers hitting the table at rapid speed. He would never hit himself, the hellhounds reflexes were sharp from centuries of training. Out of the two heads of the son of Cerberus, Calisto was the head that got the better hearing while his other head Calix got the scent. “I suggest creeping up on a hellhound with a knife in his hand is not advised little one.”

“I wasn’t creeping.”  Theo replied blandly, circling around and taking a seat across the table from him.  Her head cocked to the side as she studied him for a long moment, noting that he really did seem identical to Calix on first sight.  Even their scents were incredibly similar, and she knew it would take her some time to pick apart their differences.  But for now she lowered her gaze in deference and watched him work with the knife.  They may both have been hellhounds, but that was where the similarities ended.  Theo was a Lesser Hound, meant to herd the dead in the underworld and maybe track down those restless enough to slip back to the land of the living if she distinguished herself enough.  Callisto and his brother were the spawn on Cerberus, the True Hellhound to which all of Theo’s kind was beholden. “I just thought I should check in.”

GRYFFINDOR: “It is no business or concern of knights-errant to inquire whether any persons in affliction, in chains, or oppressed that they may meet on the high roads go that way and suffer as they do because of their faults or because of their misfortunes. It only concerns them to aid them as persons in need of help, having regard to their sufferings and not to their rascalities.” –Miguel de Cervantes (Don Quixote)

The words made Raa-Un jump and the hot food in the container shifted, some of it landing on her leg. “Mother ffff” She glares at Theo and quickly picks the piece of food off of herself. It was a little annoying. These were her best pants and she wouldn’t be able to actually get them cleaned until she had the coins for it. It was such a silly invention, the need to pay for things that were required. While she might not have seen a lot of society, Raa-Un was fairly self assured that the way these things were run were not working. At least that’s the message that she’d been taught. 
Rather than actually say yes that Theo was welcome, she just scoops some food into her mouth and starts chewing. It’s almost unbearably hot and her eyes start to water with the temperature of the food. But she presses on, refusing to actually give an answer. 

Theo just grinned despite the lack of response and dropped down next to her, pulling a small packet of wet wipes from her pocket and offering them.  “This’ll help get the stain out.”  She said before settling in to unwrap her sandwich and start eating.  Her own meal was far larger than any human her size should have been able to comfortably eat, but Theo could plow through it like it was nothing and not gain a pound.  After a little while of eating in silence she finally spoke again.

“You hear about that break in a couple days ago?”  She asked casually, just testing the waters for now.  She knew Raa-Un wouldn’t have done it, but she still might have some information on who did.  Local bigots who might target an alien trying to make an honest living.  And even as she asked she didn’t look over, didn’t press or challenge for information.  She just kept eating.  As if they were friends.

At this point, she couldn’t allow threats on her life to stop her from working, especially in her office. Most people would advice against it considering one wall was completely made of glass. ‘Prime assassination spot’ as one agent of the DEO had previously mentioned, she knew it also caused a major headache for the NCPD. The only reason she agreed to allow on of them to be ‘on guard’ while she worked. Lena kept her mind at ease while she waited by allowing her fingers to just dance across her key boards as if they had a mind of their own in attempt to quickly she finished up the last of a code. The next code would be done so easily she would finally be able to sleep at a normal time (hopefully).
Nice to meet you as well. Her words where said softly without looking up from her monitors. It took five whole minutes before she finally allowed her fingers to stop moving and rise from her seat to move towards the officer.   I hate to seem rude but I am a business woman first. Care to answer just a few questions for me?

Theo waited patiently as the CEO finished whatever she was working on, letting herself study the very open office space.  The window wall was definitely a concern, but the best she could do was keep an eye on it.  But her focus was broken when Lena spoke to her and she turned her gaze to her instead.

“Of course, what do you need to know?”  She asked, inclining her head slightly as she stepped up to the desk.  Her uniform was starched to the point of discomfort at this point, but her captain had insisted she look her best for this assignment.  Apparently their precinct really needed better optics or something.  Whatever the reason, here she was in her best blues on babysitting duties.

What tragic character from Ancient Greek Literature are you?

Theo’s Result: Antigone

you are antigone, from the theban plays by sophocles. you are bold, unwavering in your morals and your passion, an unstoppable force of nature. but when you go head-to-head with an immovable object, your ideals can lead you to self-destruction. you are stubbornly resilient and fearless to a fault, and aren't afraid to stand alone in the face of death. antigone, in your quest for justice, don't forget: you are allowed to step back, to love life a little, to be young once more before soldiering on to the very very end. be selfish in your fierceness, just once.

        Bars and nightclubs were a hot spot for vampires. Easy targets. Easy disposal. There were too many places in this city to keep an eye on, honestly. She was only one slayer. Vanessa tried to balance her time between some of the more popular vampire hangouts, but wherever she chose, the other locations were left undefended.

        She was starting to get a good sense for spotting vampires. It wasn’t perfect. She had a lot of room for improvement, but she was winging this slayer thing through instinct. From her perch on a balcony overlooking the strip of bars, she had a good vantage point to keep an eye on the pedestrians who came and went. A slight chill brushed down her back as she spotted three vampires, definitely dressed vintage. Whatever happened to the modern vampire?
        Each vampire focus was clearly on the women who had exited the club. It was only a matter of seconds before they’d attack the unsuspecting women. With a running jump, she leaped between the balcony and the fire escape in order to follow the vampires. She was nearly too late as she swung down from the fire escape. A swift kick knocked back the largest vampire. “Quick get out of here!” She urged the potential victims. Upon seeing the cop at the end of the alley, she tried to wave her off. “It’s not safe. Leave!”

Theo had started to move forward, reaching for her taser, when someone literally dropped from above and started kicking ass.  She stumbled to a stop for a moment, eyes wide, before the yell for her to leave shoved her back into action.  Not to run away but forward once more.  She grabbed the frozen young women still backed against the wall and yanked them out of the way of the fight, shoving them towards the door to the club hard enough to shock them out of their terror so that they could scramble back inside.  

And then she grabbed her baton and waded in with a stubbornly set expression, smacking one guy across the back of the neck harder than she’d ever hit anything before in her life.  The baton shuddered in her hands and she worried for one crazy moment that she’d somehow broken it.  But it remained intact, for the time being.  Something was running through her that she’d never felt before.  A heat surging outwards from her chest to fill her with a sort of strength and determination she wouldn’t have thought possible.  Her eyes were glowing a deep, brilliant red without her knowledge and when her lips pulled back in a snarl as she barely ducked a haymaker from the guy she was fighting her teeth seemed just a little too sharp to be human.

Theo wasn’t sure why she specifically had been picked for this job, it seemed like something you’d put a more experienced officer or even a detective on rather than someone with only a couple of years on the force under their belt.  But her sergeant had said something about the fact that Supergirl was always rescuing Ms. Luthor meaning they didn’t need to commit too many resources to it, which just seemed dumb and lazy to the young officer.  But still, she’d nodded and said ‘yes, sir’ and now she was just finishing a quick tour of the building from L-Corp’s own dedicated security team and being shown up to Lena Luthor’s office to meet her and really begin her work.  

The CEO had been getting death threats, again, and these had been deemed credible enough to assign a cop to help out with her security.  Or maybe the chief of police just wanted to be seen as doing something rather than sitting on his hands and letting a superhero and whatever weird covert ops unit was working with her do the job of policing his city.  So here she was, stepping into a wide-open office with huge windows to a balcony and lots of light.  “Ms. Luthor, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

For most of her stay on this planet, Raa-Un has had someone else telling her what to do and how to survive. Without them, the quality of her life has significantly declined. Sporadic violence, stealing, and other criminal acts make up the majority of her day. It isn’t hard. She’s stronger and faster than most, so anyone who really gives her trouble is in for a bad time. The only thing that kept her from having nearly a perfect set up was this damn cop. Raa-Un could appreciate the dedication to a cause and a job, of course, but this Theo kept on bothering her and to add annoyance, seemed to actually be able to round her up into the station. It mostly was that Raa-Un didn’t want to hurt her, but she kept at the chases in such a way that she felt sorry for her. Or it might have been to due to the fact that her hideouts always seemed to be places Theo found. 
She reached up, checking that her side feathers were in order and settled back against the rough brick wall. This time she’d scored big, a whole actual meal. Some idiot had been bullying a fellow non-human near a chinese restaurant a few blocks over and hadn’t noticed Raa-Un lift the order out of his car. It was enough for a few humans, but Raa-Un went through quite a lot more calories than most. She broke the chopsticks in two and opened up the first container, excited for a meal. So engrossed in this, she wasn’t really paying attention to anything around her. 

There had been a pretty nasty break-in and vandalism incident at an alien-owned business a block or two away and Theo had been assigned to help the detective in charge of the case because she was known to have ties to the alien community.  Though her sergeant hadn’t exactly said it in such polite terms.  Still, she was looking to do her best to help solve this case and knew exactly where she should start.  Grabbing her own lunch, a rather massive hoagie from one of her favorite delis in the area, she’d gone looking for one alien in particular.  

“Hey, room for one more?”  She asked with a smile as she approached, lifting her own food to show she came in peace.  Sure, she wanted to ask Raa-Un some questions but that didn’t mean she had to be a dick about it.  She was glad to see she had some food today, though she would have easily shared her sandwich if she hadn’t, and she kept her steps even and body language unthreatening as she came closer.

Theo felt the token that had allowed her to cross through the gate between the underworld and the isle crumble to dust in her fingers, knowing there was no turning back to her home now.  She was here for as long as her duty lasted, which could be eternity unless she screwed up too badly.  It was an honor, she knew that, but she could also feel the barrier’s magic pressing in on her already and silencing most of her powers and abilities.  Still, she sighed and shrugged her single duffel bag a little higher on her shoulder.  It was time to step up, she was no trainee in the pits of the underworld any longer.  Nor was she a pup on her first mission.  She had a job to do, people to protect.  And watch.

Shaking off her thoughts she moved forward, planning to seek out one of the twins as quickly as possible since technically they were the ranking Hounds on the Isle.  Though of course, all three of them fell under Hades’ purview in the end.  Even if she had orders from Zeus as well, to ensure the family were behaving themselves in their imprisonment.  Her nose twitched, nostrils flaring briefly, as she picked up the scent of another hellhound and began to follow it from the room in which she’d arrived.  Best to get the introductions over with.

It had taken Theo almost two weeks to even marginally adjust to the changes she’d gone through, even if she still had no idea where they came from, and even now she wouldn’t exactly say she understood any of it.  Though the enhanced senses, strength, and speed had come in handy a few times in tracking down perps.  They would definitely be useful if she ever made detective like she dreamed.  

But for now she was just a beat cop, walking a patrol through the ‘party district’ where the bars and clubs lined the streets.  Mostly that meant making sure no one got into the driver’s seat drunk and breaking up the occasional bar fight.  But tonight felt different, something had her metaphorical hackles rising and she followed the pull in her chest down a back alley where she found three guys cornering a couple of young women away from the back entrance of a club they’d obviously exited through.

“Hey!”  She called, putting some authority in her voice to try and get the guys to back off.  She didn’t expect them to turn and snarl at her, faces deformed and fangs visible.  It made the same something that had pulled her here rumble restlessly in her chest and though she didn’t know it her eyes flashed red in return.
