"...wow." Bast muttered.

"That's... quite something." he commented, before sighing.

"All right, let's get your shoulder back into joint." he then told her, as she stepped up and got into position.

Bast then grabbed her arm and quickly... yet carefully... popped it back into socket, causing a shooting pain throughout her body for a few seconds... but it dissipated as quickly as it came.

And she could move her arm again.

"Feel all right?" he asked her.

Bast just sighed again.

"All right." he said.

"Odds are I won't be gone TOO long." he told her.

"Or maybe I will. I have no idea." he said further, shaking his head.

"Gimme a call if you need or want anything. I'll pop by when I can." he went on.

"Hope things settle down soon, though." he then said.

"Because your mother's mana going nuts sounds... dangerous, to understate it."

Sebastien smiled in response.

"Hey, no worries." he replied.

"I'll do anything for ya." he told her, stepping up close and wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her close to him.

He then leaned in and kissed her on the lips... and just as she was starting to feel that compulsive magnetic attraction to him, he pulled away and it disappeared as quickly as she'd felt it.

He smirked when he saw her 'return to her senses', and made his way to the door.

"Later, hot stuff." he said with a wink and a point.

"Yeah... yeah, sure, not a problem." Sebastien responded.

"I'll let you know as soon as I get any info." he told her.

They then ended the call, and he pondered what could have happened.

'I know it's been a while since I was at the place...' he thought, before calling Jordan's cell phone, and getting no answer.

"...that's concerning." he muttered.

He then found a private area where he wouldn't be seen, and used his mana to open a path through hell, jumping through it, and landing in darkness.

"What the..." he mumbled, looking around.

"....okaaaay..." he mumbled.

"Kinda creepy and spooky." he said.

He then cleared his throat and looked around.

"Jordan!?" he called out.

"Hey! Where are ya!?" he asked, as he started to walk about.

"You in here!?"

He was silent as he heard that.

"...why?" he asked.

"Jordan, what's happening?" he asked her through the door.

He looked at the closed door again, before reaching for it, and grabbing the handle.

He held his breath for a moment, and opened it slowly, peering inside to see what would await him.

She had caught him off guard in that moment... and if his mother had seen that, she would have been ashamed by him. However, because of the lessons he'd had in the past, he was quick to react.

Before she could go in for the kill, he grabbed her by the sides of her head, and planted his lips right into hers.

He didn't care if she initially bit him, he kissed her. As passionately as he dared, meaning he was putting his full effort into trying to seduce her.

All he wanted was for the charm of his DNA to take over... it was the only way he could think of to stop her from attacking, without hurting her.

'Please work...' he thought, as he continued to caress her lips with his own.

'...wow.' he thought, after a pause. 'Not even the sheer compulsion of lust was able to keep her going.' he realised. Normally it would overtake everything, and the victim would ignore their body's cries for rest, but he suspected her energy was SO low, that wasn't an option. That, or his seductive powers were weakened from being half-human.

Regardless, this wasn't the time to think about it.

She needed help, and she needed it NOW. She needed medical attention, and there was only one place he could think of right now. The Unit in San Diego. Normally he would have to go through security, but Zeke had given him something. It was a special capsule-like device filled with mana, that would allow him to bypass the security around the building. And it would notify the one in charge that someone had arrived using it, giving him the full identity/identities of the one(s) using it.

And because it was stated to be used for emergencies, the designated landing point was the Medical Wing.

He was grateful for this, now more than ever, as he fished it out of his pocket, lifted Jordan in his arms, ignoring the bleeding from his mouth, and threw the capsule onto the floor by his feet. It broke, and they were surrounded by swirling mana, causing them to disappear, and reappear in the medical wing of the Unit, with Bast wincing a little in recoil from it.

"Damn celestial mana. It burns." he growled to himself.

"Right." Bast responded as he started to follow.

As they walked, he told her what Desiree had called him about, how he'd gotten no answer from Jordan, what had awaited him when he went to his vacation home, and the state that Jordan had been in.

He described their altercation, sparing no details, save for the nitty-gritty about his demonic charms.

"So after she collapsed, I used the transport capsule that Zeke gave me to get straight here." he finished.

"I think Jordan seriously needs help."

"Yes." Sebastien said.

"It's still on me." he told her.

"And it's not comfortable." he said further.

"So it would be great to 'take the edge off'." he continued.
