Some kind of "Post-Uranium RP" - Now finished and open for questions!

I'm an Antarki sitting next to Dramsama. (Also not serious)

( .......from that creepy laughter of yours, I'm assuming no good.)

A whole night of rest alongside Kellyn and a double-dosed black coffee the next morning clearly did some good to our Lucille. She apparently felt better, not "fine" though, but she soon managed to regain some of her calm and restrained attitude. To bring a bit space between herself and the incident, she also moved research to her home office for now. Well, it wasn't like she could do more there than analyse observations on paper and someday she had to return to the facility, but that was totally fine at the moment. [FunFact/Headcanon: Kellyn has a home office too. He only uses it to store tons of books and reports of missions taken as a Ranger, though.]

Soon some peace and silence found its way into their home. It wasn't the same "peace and silence" that dwelled back then after their marriage, or when they were young parents, but it was all those three could have asked for.

Highlight was Vitor coming home from one of his "I'll be gone hatching Pokemon-eggs and collecting berries"-afternoons, on which Lucille's Nucleon quickly and joyfully joined him, with his freshly breeded shiny (!) Eevee evolved into a nice green Espeon. It sure was hell of confusing for him that his own mother was the enemy the whole time and he had to cope with all this in the first place, but if she agreed that she had made mistakes in the past,  his father forgave her and gladly accepted/got along with all that love she offered both of them, why shouldn't he try as well? After all, he was happy to have his parents around him. Or rather, back. No, he's never been angry at Kellyn for sending him away after he got to know the reason for it at the age of 9 (anything else, but never "angry" - he managed to accept his points in a certain way as he grew older and more mature), nor blaming him for a shitty childhood - in fact, he hadn't have such a "bad" life with his great aunt. Noone said it was an all-easy life, though. [insert all the "how fucked up he is on the inside"-stuff here] Bad tongues say Vitor's mum was "a scientific maniac horribly corrupted by radiation" (and that was yet expressed nicely), but in the long run, she was still his mum.

However, there was something hovering above the reunited familiy. Not like the overused shadow-cliche, no. This was more like an animal carefully observing its doomed prey, only waiting for an opportunity to inflict damage on them. From what Lucille told him about the cause of her emotional breakdown, how someone simply refused to shut up on her and how she cannot remember an actual face to it, Kellyn suspected no good. Must have been some total jerk owning some strong psychic-typed Pokemon who refuses to leave them alone... of course he adviced her to stay cautious and such, he assured to give up his own safety to rescue her (and Vitor) if needed, but noone was able to know when the time for the next strike arrived.

*Ring, Ring, Ring * *Click* "Hello? Who's this? Better be someone important, cus no-one should have this here numba, less they ordering for a undertaker..."

"I think you will be able to figure out pretty soon, you two-bit arse wipe."

"He-eeeeee-y, ii-iii-tttsss you. Sorry 'bout that, you know how it is. Security, persussions, telling who's who's. Your not mad or nothin, are you? Cus I was only just-"

"*Sigh* No, I am not mad, and stop your babbling, you cretin. I'm not going to do anything to you...yet."

"Yet?! We haven't done nuthin, see! Cleaned up our act, making ourselves right and productive! We a benefit to society, keeping all the shaddy biz under lock and wrappens. Why are you try to scare me gain bout that!?"

"Because I am calling I a favor I am owed, one that can't be negotiated without consequences. Something.... unpleasant has been happening lately. You recall the nuclear bitch, correct? How she got off free on metal instability, and has returned to the field of science?"

"Yeah, I recall! What I wouda do to mash he face it, and drag it all over Tandor for people to see how fulla shiiiit she is! Reformed mad scientist, go back to her labor that started her mockery? HA!"

"Hehe, I see you still hate her almost as much as I do. Good. Turns out, to my dubious fortune, that she's come over and has started working at my institute. I was... less than happy when I heard learned that. Especially since the board let her on without informing me until AFTER THE FACT!" *SLAM*

"Wow, take about shitty luck, eh! If that's the case, why have you, you know, 'disapeered' her? I know ya have the power to do so..."

"*Sigh* Its complicated. I was furious when I learned of the news, but I decided to try and let it go the best I can. Before you start yammering, no, I have not forgiven the holocastical *censor strikes again!*. You remember the fallout from the media and the people who's family got caught up in the disaster?"

"Yeah? Real circus that was, what with the acrobatics everyone was doing! I was bout to do something about it, until you showed up and, uh, told me nicely to 'cut it out'. Still don't understand why you been stonewalling all the revenge attempts 'gainst her. She be dead and cremated by now, ya know."

"I have my reasons for keeping her alive, the most obvious of which is I don't want to revive that fiasco. Everyone involved, before, during, and after, has been severely hurt by that bitch's action. The fact that nothing was done about it, that no justice was brought upon her, and that she basically got off scot free really rubbed a ton of Sodium Cyanide into those wounds. All the riots and suicides that happened after the news got out... do you think I wanted a repeat of that?" 

"Weeeeeellll, I can see ya point there, but its not like you didn't have other options! Your a scary powerful man, you know, and that ain't flattery. Became a real player after the Disaster went down, becoming real resourceful and ruthless in the unda an ova world. Wouldn't take too much for ya to ruin her life anyway you like- heck, you could make her dance till her feet bleed if you wanted to! Why ya been so.... restrained with her?"

"Why? Because she would not be the only one I would hurt in my quest for justice."

"How ya figure that?"

"*Grrrr* I thought you would not forget such a important little tibit, but I guess I have to drill it back into your thick skull. You know Kellyn, the Ranger Chief of Tandor? The hero who, until his son stole his thunder, has time and again saved the region from doom, and has turned it into a place that is relatively crimeless, unlike other regions of the world? He is Lucille's husband. "

"Yikes, I rememba now! Don't bite my head for that, cus its hardly been made public bout his demented love affair with the woman. A man can forget, can he?"

"Yes, but not something so bloody important! God, how did you manage to get where you were? Never mind. Look, you know that, unlike almost everyone else connected, that I actually respect the guy and his efforts. He the Rangers have done a lot for the region, the least of which was handling the Nuclear Disaster. If it was not for them and my department working together along with Bamboo and some others, Tandor would still be partially irradiated, and be full of Nuclear 'mons by now! Know what would happen if I did anything to her? Succinctly put: Chaos. I would end up causing a whole mess of trouble for the Ranger Union, as Kellyn mobilizes everyone in apprehending the offender, and I don't to do that to these people, especially over that bitch. She has caused enough pain as it is. It would also traumatize the man again, and you know what happened the first time his heart was broken..." 

"..... Yeah, I rememba. From a rookie to head of the clink, that guy was a terror to the unda ground. Didn't know you cared so much for them, though. Your not exactly the best character anymore, what with all the dealings you've done with us and Mutious know who else. I thought you woulda kicked the hornet's nest anyway, if ya got a stab at that monster."

"*Sigh* No matter how bad I've become, I still have standards. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble to the Ranger, I don't kill anyone unless it has to be done, and I don't involve friends or family in my schemes, or children. No rape, and no patsying. Anything else is fair game, as you very well know. I am very... creative with my methodology, as you very well know...."

"*Gulp* Ye-eeee-aaaaa-h, I kn-oooooo-www. Mutious, the horror stories I've heard bout ya.... Why are ya calling me then? Are ya trying to give me a hard time again, or a heart attack?"

"There has been.... a change in my code of conduct. I recently had a confrontation with the genocidal fucker. She was harassing me and a scientist about my field of expertise. Despite my best efforts otherwise, I went off on her real hard. Left her near catatonic by the end of my tirade. You know how I have a way with word.... Unfortunately, Kellyn came in to check in on her, so I had to skedaddle. Got my Alakazam to wipe her memory of me, and have done my best to snip all loose ends that could come back to bite me. Heard she left to work at home because of my stunt, and that Kellyn been especially watchful about her lately. Probably to check if see suicides or goes CURIE again. Hmpt, still loves her, despite all she has done. Even with his distrust of her, he'll still go to the ends of the earth for that bitch. *Sigh*"

"Huh? You still there? Haven't go off and left me with your load of feeling, now? Cuz is awfully heavy heavy, ha!"

".... Hehehe. No, I haven't. I just get so frustrated about how he and his son are so forgiving of her. Especially her son- her actions left him without her or his father for a good while. From what I know, he turned out fine, and had his aunt as a surrogate mother to raise him right. Still, can't grow up like that without a slew of demons under your bed."

"Huh, how you figure that? You know anything about her kid?"

"Vitor is a friend of mine- my best friend, as a matter of fact. Originally, I got to know him to pump as much information out of him as possible, and see if I could not use him in my plans. Once I got to know the sweet boy, I just didn't have it in me to do such a thing. Arceas, he's practically an angel on earth! I can ignore it, but he's a great guys on top of that! Turns out the sentiment goes both way, too. I am one of the only people that treat him as a person, not a star from on high, and I work with him on our project. He seems to like my brand of humor, too, since I always hear him crack up when I tell him a joke."

"Ugh, not those horrid things! I still rememba that meeting with the other bosses, and how you really punned it up there. I can still hear the groaning, and the terrified screams when that fool tried to make you clamp it. Brr......... did ya really have to shove his arm up his-"

"Hey, he was becoming a real handful, eh?"

"UGH. If you start that game with me, I'll hang up, damn the consequences!"

"Hehe, fine, fine. Back to business, then. Up until know, I have been... passive in my actions against her. I've relegated her to projects that keep her out of the way, and prevented her from makin a name for herself again. Since that incident, I have decided that I am no longer going to handle the matter with kids glove. While I don't want to cause another mess, my chat with her let me know that she is a cowardous, unempathtic abomination. I thought she would at least have some shame and guilt eating at her, but it was not until I got my claws into her that she started to express remorse! If has been that uncaring, I guess I have to do something about, huh? I've come up with a plan, and have gotten it set up in the past few months since our confrontation. A little... therapy session, if you will."

"H-uuuuu-uu-uuh. Why are yooooo-oooo-uuu calling meeeee-eeee, then? You usually do you... gestures of kindness solomente. What do you need me for? You not going to get me to nab her for you, are ya?"

"No, I will be doing that myself. I would like keep all the detail of my plan to myself as possible. No, what I want you to do is distract Kellyn for a few day. Cause a rucus, leak some information about group activity far away from Lucille, anything. Vitor has already go to Sinnoh for the Breeder's Conference, so I need Kellyn's elsewhere."

"Why are you handing me that job?! You know how bad he gets, once he smells blood in the water! Real Sharpedo of a man! A favor not going to cut it with him! No way, no how!"

"Then you will be generously be confiscated for you part, and I'll owe you in turn. You know that I don't give favors that often. How can you resist such an offer? If that does not convince you, we can always meet up and discuss the details privately."

"Alright, alright! You made your point, I'll do it! He'll be all out of the ways for whatever your going to do with her. You better bail me out if I get caught by him, though! *Hufff* When you want him gone?"

"This week. I've got everything ready, and I've waited long enough for the heat to die down. Get it down, and you will be well provided for. That, and the bitch will get what is coming for her, finally. And with me doing doing the judging, you know I will do the job right."

"Yeah, I know. I know all to well. See ya later, then."

"See you then. Remember to clear the phone records, just in case. We don't want anyone finding out ahead of time, now will we?"

"What do ya take me for, a chump? Don't answer that! I know what I've been doing, I haven't got this far with forgetting details like that!"

"Just making sure. Wouldn't want to spoil the fun, now will we?"
*Click* *Beep, Beep, Beep*

".... Mutious have mercy on that woman."

(One word: Correct! Lucille can't escape from his grasp now, no matter how hard she tries. Strap in, because if you fall off this ride, your not getting back on...)

Still not feeling like uploading it on my art thread, though... I hope you, and anoyne who may stumble over this one, like it anyway.)
