h Shaw my sister in everything but blood. This is Isabella Elizabeth's girlfriend. I'm happy to see you, but from the discussion I take it this is urgent?” Lash said, Lizzy had a satisfied smiled on her face when he introduced her as his sister. Lizzy took Isabella's hand and smiled at her to re assure her.

“Oh! Is that who that is? I...I'm sorry, I assumed the wrong thing.” Althea said to Lash, she then apologized to Lizzy and Isabella. Althea was confused why a kindred was in Lash's home she knew the Kindred and Lash did not have a good relationship.

“Despite my experiences with certain groups of people. I try to not judge everyone the same. A person by person basis!” Lash turned to smile at Isabella who nodded in return. This made Lizzy confused. What did Lash mean.

“Ah! Yes I've heard that about you, Mr. Lash. I'm sorry but we need your talents once again. We had hoped that you could rest more but...” Althea looked at Lizzy. Lash held up his hand.

“Alright, let me get changed. This is not really good attire for working.” Lash turned around, he was close to running on empty but the more of Ares children they caught the better it would be.

“What? Excuse me!” Lizzy said to Althea then dragged Isabella along into Lash's room. This earned a raised brow from Althea as the door closed behind them.

Lash, Lizzy, and Isabella were in the bedroom together. Lash opened his closet and found a set of durable cloths. He peeled off his shirt and turned to see Lizzy and Isabella gawking at him. Lash was super athletic now. Nearly no body fat. So his muscles were clearly defined. With out missing a beat Lash took off his socks and pants so he was standing in nothing but a pair of boxers. Lizzy and Isabella's faces both turned bright red before Isabella seem to snap out of it and pulled Lizzy around so they were not looking at him.

“Gah! Ri...What is wrong with you, undressing in front of Isabella like that!?” Lizzy screamed, not turning around.

“Ya I noticed you didn't include yourself in that statement. We are in my bedroom!” Lash said as he slipped into a pair of durable cargo pants zipped and buttoned up, and looped his belt. Grabbed some socks and boots. Before Lizzy glanced around then sighed.

“Oh please! Your nothing special to look at!” Lizzy said stubbornly but a blush was still evident. Isabella shook her head.

“Oh no! He's definitely something special!” Isabella said, which earned her a glare from Lizzy.

“Lash you just got back! And why is that woman dressed like that? Are you doing security for some LARP event or something?” Lizzy said, completely clueless. Isabella looked at her shocked.

“Babe, she is not playing. She's an Amazon from that new island in the Atlantic. They did an entire special on the news remember. You said it was to unreal to know about an entire society of Warrior Woman. You even wondered if we could vacation there.” Isabella said.

“WHAT?!” Lizzy stomped over to the door peeked out. “Ar..Are you an Amazon?” Lizzy softly asked to Althea.

“Yes I am, I've worked with your 'Brother' in Metropolis.” Althea said softly, amusement in her voice. She could clearly hear the entire conversation in the room but was trying to be polite. Lizzy softly closed the door then skipped back to Isabella.

“There's an Amazon in Lash's house! Wait...Why is there an Amazon in Lash's home! Lash why are you working with the Amazons?!” Lizzy went from excitement to confusion, to clear anger? Isabella rolled her eyes at Lizzy.

Lash was dressed now, he went to his bathroom and brushed his teeth real quick. Being bald came in handy he didn't need to gel or fashion his scalp! He put on unscented deodorant, then went back into his bed room.

“It has to do with the Community Watch. I volunteered to help with any further issues be it Metropolis or other cities. So, they need my help? A....” Lizzy was standing in front of his door not letting him out.

“THAT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT!” Lizzy screamed.

“Babe,” Isabella tried to calm her down.

“No! I've kept my peace, I've seen you disappear for days at a time. I didn't say anything when you joined the watch.” Lizzy said.

“You did say something actually you were against it.” Lash said before he was shushed by her.

“I've kept my peace, I've been supportive! I held my tongue...” Lizzy started

“Lizzy you don't ever hold your tongue, for any move that was dangerous, or life risking or just plain stupid you would give me an ear full every single time. Then remind me about it every chance you got! But that's what family is for, I love you for it! I love you like a sister! But this is important! I can help, I can save lives!” Lash was yelling now.

“Oh fucking really!? What can you do! Ah! You make statues! Sculptors! Works of Art! You don't run off with Amazons! To what save the fucking....w....world?” Lizzy screamed at the start then was lost by the end. As Lash was not Lash any more. There stood the 'Wraith' That Lizzy had seen on the news stations.

Lash took out his phone and contacted Warden HQ who picked up with in the first ring. He told them he needed a mundane brief for Elizabeth Shaw, and Isabella Kuldr. Who were both in his home. That with all the stuff going on they had learned he was not the same anymore. The Warden team understood the under lying meaning with Isabella. Said they would send a team to his home in a few minutes. Isabella gently pulled Lizzy away from the door and shot a grateful look at Lash. This was going to fuck Lizzy and Lash's relationship up. No need to screw Isabella's life up too. Lash moved past the door removing his shroud.

“I love you Lizzy, I hope when this is over you'll still love me too.” Lash left the still shocked Lizzy behind. He went into the central room where Althea had a sorry expression.

“I'm sorry, I thought she....” Althea stopped talking has Lash waved her off. He snagged some sandwiches that Lizzy had made for lunch they went to the door and left the house. Heading to the car that was waiting for them...
