"I'm heading back to the lab." Illias replied.

"Need to make sure things are all still in one piece." he laughed.

"No, but seriously, I should go and check on some things." he then added.

"Ally, Levi, it was a pleasure to make your acquaintance." he told the two of them.

"Yeah, sure, no problem." Levi responded.

"Kiah, I'll see you in the lab?" Illias then asked Kiah.

"See ya." Illias replied, quickly disappearing into the building.

The three of them then approached the building, and when they stepped inside, Aly and Levi saw a security guard behind a circular desk, hidden behind a newspaper.

It was silent for a moment, before they heard some weird 'sst' sounds.

"...newcomers." he then said.

"Names." the man said.

"Levi Hughes." Levi responded.

"Alyssa Duchannes." Ally chimed in.

"Ah yes, the boss told me to expect you two." the guard responded, before straightening up a little.

"I'm gonna need to take a look at them." he then warned Kiah.

"They know what they're getting into, I assume?" he asked.

Levi put his passport down as well, and the guard put down his newspaper, looking at the passports. He then looked up at the two of them, and they saw his reptilian eyes.

"....mmhmm..." he mumbled.

"Hmmm..." he muttered further, before nodding.

"All right." he said. "You're clear." he told them, leaning back in his chair.

"Ah... woah..." Levi muttered, obviously more than a little shocked at the eyes.

"Mmhmm." Jake muttered, pressing a button, causing them to hear a buzzing sound.

"In you go." he told them.

"Uh, thanks." Levi replied as they gathered their stuff and started to head inside.

As they were doing so, Jake took out his phone and sent a text to Kiah.

That girl. She's... powerful. was what the text said.

"No, she's human." Jake replied. "My senses told me so, and you KNOW I'm accurate." he told her. "So there's no question about it, she's human... just... there is a sleeping power within her that is almost frightening." he went on.

"I'm not saying I don't trust her." he then quickly said. "But we need to keep an eye on HER, as well as the boy she was with." he went on.

"We'd be fools if we were to ignore our instincts." he finished.

Meanwhile, Levi looked around absently, before looking at Ally.

"...what'd you think of that security guard?" he asked her.

"He seemed... well... did he seem threatening to you?"

"I dunno, maybe I'm just being paranoid." Levi responded.

"But he just seemed like he doesn't like us." he sighed.

"...." he was then silent, and looked down to the floor.

"Just.... yeah, guess he WAS more judgemental, but.... oh well." he finished.

"I'll try and lighten up a bit."

Levi just sighed.

"I am." he said.

"You know it was miserable for me back there." he told her.

"Always hearing the voices, people avoiding me and insulting me, my grades were going to start to suffer, I'm on shaky terms with my family..." he went on.

"Ally, this is what we're both wanted for... well, since before we met." he continued.

"This is the perfect chance for us."

"....and I only stayed because of you." Levi responded.

"I... seriously." he muttered.

"You made it... well... tolerable. Worthwhile." he said.

"That's why... I... don't think I would have moved out here if you didn't want to move out with me." he then admitted, looking away slightly.

"I'm not sure... I'd have been able to adjust, without you." he finished, scratching the back of his head.

Levi just chuckled lightly, as his face turned a little pink.

"Eh-heh." he laughed quietly.

"Y-yeah. I guess we do." he said.

"Pardon me for interrupting your little moment." the receptionist then said, causing Levi to jump a bit, and his face to go a little redder.

"...but you may enter the office." she finished with a warm smirk.
