"That sounds like a good plan. Dispense some much needed retribution, and then a lovely dinner afterwards." | |||

"Are you going dressed like this?" | |||

A few minutes later, he came out dressed in a nice white dress shirt, navy slacks, a nice navy suit and tie, and black shoes. "Well....you helped me pick this out. How do I look?" This message was last edited by a game moderator at 02:43, Tue 12 Apr 2011. | |||

Mirages image shimmered, her long slinky dress sliding up her long legs to become a short, sleeveless dress of a deep blue. Her thigh high boots thinned and stretched up her legs to become sheer tights and a pair of high heels. Her short jacket slipped off her shoulders to become a thin, silky wrap. She pulled out a compact to check her makeup, which was unnecessary since she knew how her illusion would make her appear. Mirage changed her earrings a few times, settling on a pair of drop down diamonds that matched the necklace that had settled around her neck. "There. Now how do I look? Good enough for a dinner date with Lucas Martinez?" | |||

"More than good enough, amor. Maybe I should be the one wondering if I'm good enough to go out with you?" he said with a light laugh. "We still have a few hours before we meet up with Hunter. I hope you're hungry," he added, extending his arm to her. | |||

"I guess it depends on what I'm hungry for." she teased, sidling up close. "I'm sure that we can find something to do in the few hours before we meet up with Hunter." | |||

"It sounds like we both have some ideas," he replied, the happiness very evident in his voice. He held the door open as they both stepped outside, then went back to the door and locked up the front doors. | |||

Now it was different. She wanted to enjoy this time with Lucas, enjoy a respite from her normal activities to indulge in something other than her desire to beat up people. She pulled out her compact and adjusted the colour of her eye shadow a little. OOC: Shall we move on to the restaurant? | |||

"All right....looks like that piece of business is done. Shall we my dear?" he said, waving down a taxi, and opening the door for Mirage to get in first, then telling the cab driver to head for Versuezzi's. >>>>>>>>>To Versuezzi's>>>>>>>>>>>>> | |||

Dragon Fist arrived at the back alley, and retracted his armor. Sure that no one was watching, he used the backdoor access, and entered into the dojo. Sighing for a moment, he made his way to the back office, and went into a meditative stance, kneeling down and beginning to regulate his breathing. Other than the impromptu attack by Katy, the evening had went relatively well. But there was something he could not ignore. The presence of dark chi within his lover and colleague. Something must have happened to cause that amount of negative chi to inhabit Mirage. Whatever the deed was....Lucas could not say. But he wanted to help Mirage, because the woman had known so much pain in her life...even now. He took out the letter that Oni had left him...the one that challenged him to either fight the Dark Champion...or to become him. For Oni at one time had been the Champion of Light known as The Golden Dragon, but fell to darkness after a lot of misfortune occurred in his life. But Lucas vowed to fight the darkness inside of him...and knew of a possible way to perhaps cleanse his soul of negative chi if it ever were to come upon him. It would be a journey of sorts but well worth it in the long run. Inside, he hoped Mirage would be willing to make this journey. If not for Lucas, perhaps for Diantha. But most importantly...hopefully for herself. This message was last edited by the player at 21:31, Sun 12 June 2011. | |||

Mirage had to wrok quickly. Luckily getting to and from a place was no problem. By the time that Lucas had returned to the dojo, Mirage had the spread set up. She had spread out a simple blanket like one would use on a picnic and their meal from Versuezzi's had been set out along with a few small candles. The dojo was dark enough that the candle light would show and Mirage had used her illusion powers to provide further decorations. The ceiling had been replaced with a setting sun and the walls of the dojo replaced by a long sandy beach with gentle waves lapping along the shore. Mirage had changed back into her blue dress and was scrutinizing a bottle of wine. "Welcome back, darling. I hope that you don't mind that I redecorated a little." | |||

"It....it looks amazing, Mir--Helena. Never did I think that I would be enjoying candelight here in the dojo. You are, as always, ever amazing, my dear. I am so very thankful to know you." | |||

Taking Lucas' arm, Mirage lead him to the picnic setup. "Now make yourself comfortable while I pour the wine. Dinner should still be warm so it's best to start eating before we have to microwave everything." | |||

"Now, where were we before Psy-Witch rudely interrupted us?" She asked with a smile. | |||

"I was about to tell you something. Something that I mean from the bottom of my heart." He paused for a moment and looked into the femme fatale's eyes. "Helena...I love you.." | |||

"Lucas." Mirage said softly. She could feel her heart beating faster, wondering if she were about to make a mistake. Lucas was like some shining knight, while Mirage was..,she felt like something much darker and less noble. Did she even deserve to do anything more than flirt with a man like Lucas? "I...I love you too." The words were hard to get out. Saying them made Mirage feel like she was setting herself upon a path that she had never thought to tread upon again. | |||

Lucas smiled at Mirage's "revelation." Suddenly, this...affair..interaction...dating...whatever one wanted to call it...seemed so right. After all, they both, in their way, were broken by the world around them, and yet they had found each other. Two souls that had been wronged immensely by different forces and circumstances, now finding solace....with each other. Lucas softly stroked Mirage's face once again. Inside, he wondered if he could be the man that Helena needed him to be. Perhaps he could help her overcome a lot of the negative things that happened in her life. He sighed for a moment, then brought his lips to her and kissed her once again. "This is like a lovely dream....I don't want it to end, Helena. But...there is something that is troubling me. Something that...if not dealt with...could rip asunder all that we have. And I love you so much, Helena..that I would do anything to keep you safe.." He looked down for a moment, then back to her, his eyes full of sincerity and compassion. "You have an immense amount of negative chi growing inside of you. If it takes you over, you will become an Agent of Evil. But...I know of a place in my own travels that can help cleanse you of this expanse of negative chi. And after what happened with Flamethrower and I in the nursing home before we fought Brain the first time, I believe that I may need that same cleansing as well." Lucas gave a small smile. "Helena...please know that I would not do anything to hurt or harm you in the slightest. You know that you can also trust me. And I would like to take this journey with you also, seeing as I might need to be cleansed myself. It is something we can do...together..." | |||

"I'm not sure I know what you mean, Lucas." she said defensively. Of course there was a darkness inside of her. It was what kept her going, feuled her need to race around the rooftops at night, punching and kicking people. | |||

"Chi is the lifeforce of all things around..people..animals...things. Negative images weaken or even block the lifeforce. Negative acts can do the same thing, but only much worse. Negative chi corrupts the soul, and can corrupt the individual, so much so, that they will begin to rationalize acts of evil." He shook his head. "Forgive me...I saw what I saw....and I became concerned for you. I just...I don't want to lose you, Mir--Helena." | |||

"You're right though, about the...." Mirages voice was soft, hesitant, not at all like her normal confident and flirtacious way of speaking. She didn't want to admit this, not to Lucas, not after finally admitting how she felt about him. Would he still love her if he knew the truth about her? It tore at her to think that she could be so close to being happy and then having that torn away, but she loved Lucas and he deserved to know what she was. | |||

Lucas reached forth with his hand, and clasped hers gently. "I meant what I said about loving you. And to help.." | |||
Mirage player, 622 posts Sun 26 Jun 2011 at 02:15 |
"You are my champion. And someday...maybe..." she said, drawing close to him. She slipped her free hand around his neck and pulled him into a passionate embrace. | |||
