A small magic shop

[Magik]

Alex played with the pendent her mother left her as she browsed through all the musty old books in the book shop. The meeting she had with Draco disturbed her, she needed to find out more. "Oh mother, what's going on?" She asked no one as she pulled out a book on creatures of the magic world.

Alex had always been skeptical about such books, always taking a look at those that she knows true information on first...Mermaids. She'd have to thank Nimue later for filling her in on all Atlantian information for cross referencing. Hmm, I hope Nimue would be safe enough with all this going on, they seemed to be targeting 'mythological creatures'.

She flipped through the book skimming over the information it had. Now was the time she wished she had her mother's gifts, bending the magic to her will, not using it as a weapon...

After his meeting with XO-Manowar. Ronoh headed into town in the back of a SHIELD car. One of the perks of his job, personal drivers. he didn't have to fly everywhere around town and could get around like a normal person...some what.

He thumbed his image inducer and stepped out of the car and headed into a book shop. His outside contact on the current magical case. Alex Madrox was inside. He had some more information that he thought prudent for her. He looked around and saw her browsing in one section.

"So, are you going to be charging me for your help?" he said trying to make small talk, something he wasn't good at. He handed her a card with the constellation DRACO on it. He wasn't sure if she knew it was him using the inducer and hoped she would get the clue.

[Magik]

Hearing the familiar voice she turned and smiled seeing the man who looked like Draco but less dragon like. "So you are stalking me then. How are you Draco?" She joked as she took the card, not needing to see it to get the hint, his voice was enough. "No, no charge...This time." She answered with a smirk, her usual answer for anyone who asked that question. How could she ever charge to do what was right.

"You know Draco, you're not the only one with 'mystical' backgrounds in the world. I've got a member of my team with Atlantian blood. I'm just as interested in getting to the bottom of this as you are." She informed her temporary partner as she flipped through the book looking for anything helpful. "So you have a reason for being here? Or just checking up on Multiple Man's baby girl?"

[lyznos]

" Am i stalking you? No of course not." He said random glancing at a few books, not making eyes contact with her. " I had some agents follow you, and we also used some survalance equipment to keep tabs on you. We're SHIELD, what do you expect?" He said shrugging.

"Truth of the matter is that with all the attacks going on Im using tapping into some extra resources to stop them. I figure that the daughter of a ULTIMATES member, and X-Factor founder might be a prime target. If could only find Wandas Maximoffs kids i would track them to but thats neither here nor there." He said pulling out a folder from his coat. " I didnt want to give you this, but it might help" He was about to give it to her " but I;m going to have to explain somethings to you. Something that only a few people know about, including your mother, "

[Magik]

Alex flipped through the book as she listened to Draco, chuckling a bit at what he had to say. "The world has white magic all around it, in the air, the sun, even hidden in the dark. I feel safe enough knowing that." She paused closing the book to put it away before pulling a new one out. "Are your kids safe? You placed them in the school right?" She asked, showing genuine concern for his children before seeing the file. Putting the book aside she held her hand out for the file. "If you have anything with Wanda's DNA on it I could probably find them. A few tricks of my mother's still work." She said with a smirk. "So, what's the big secret about this folder?"

[lyznos]

"Yes there safe, i have a man in the school watching them. And no, i don't have Wanda's DNA. That family makes it a point not to leave anything behind for us to trace i think."

He looked at the folder and handed it to her. " the folder? nothing really secretive about the folder. Its a profile on who i think might be behind this. I.....had a run in with him before." He pulled out a small cylinder and placed it on the book shelf.

"Dampener, if we're bugged this makes sure who ever is listening cant. Like i said earlier What I'm about to tell you only a hand full of people know. Your mother was part of this from the beginning. Mind if we take a seat?" he motioned to wards a table in the back. " this is a long story."

[Magik]

Alex nodded a bit, a little disappointed, she'd have to make a point to start gathering DNA samples of any member of a team she works with, never know when you'll need it. "They were always a secretive family." She stated with a sigh as she took a look at the dampener. "Would you rather take this back to X-Factor? Less untrusted ears to over hear what's going on...and more comfortable chairs for a long story." She said with a smirk. "Besides, you don't come around often enough, too busy stalking me...You know, we have a very nice door as well." She teased before sitting, opening the file as she did.

[ryu]

Ryu emerges from a shadow in the corner of the magic shop looking about when he spots Alex. "You and I need to talk. And hello fellow dragon kin." He says hidden behind his mask. "This is vary important to just leave alone and if I am apart of this team we need to be at an trusting point in friendship. If we are not we could never relay on each other like a team should do." He motions for her to fallow him outside.

"And I will not take no for an answer, this must be talked about and if not it will wind up tearing up any trust we might be able to have." He starts to walk out of the shop.

[lyznos]

Ronoh heard a voice behind him and was startled a bit to see a ninja hal fin and out of a shadow it seemed. he was about to reach for he side arms we he recognized the voice.

He pointed wit his thumb over his shoulder " Less ears huh? No offense to you or your team, including you....Ryu right? Sorry but this need a to have air tight lid on it, the less people that know the better. Alex i understand if you don't want to work on this. I would prefer if your team didn't get involved, just you and maybe Nimue. I'm not trying to tell you how to run your team. Just that..." He stopped mid sentence.

"look" he said pointing toward what he hoped was a small snack stand in the back of the shop. " I'm going to go check if thats a snack stand, you two need to talk in private. ' He walked away from the two.

[Magik]

Alex nodded. "I'm sorry Draco. Ryu is new to the team, doesn't quite understand the rules quite yet." She explained as she gave a hard look to Ryu, she couldn't believe he'd go into public in his uniform unneeded. She got up out of her chair. "And of course I'll be including Nimue in this, as much as possible, but I'll understand if you don't want her sharing in the confidential information." She stated before walking over to Ryu.

"One, why are you wearing that in public? Do you understand it can put the majority of the team at risk if the wrong person sees you talking with any team member in public like that? Two, this is not a team assignment." She scolded in a low voice so that only the two of them could hear, arms folded, looking not really angry, but a bit.
