Lucius just shook his head a little.

"Indeed." he said.

"Regardless, you're probably going to crash. VERY soon." he told her.

"You've been through a lot in a short amount of time." he reasoned.

"So you'll need to recover over the next few days."

Kiah was silent before sighing, heavily.

"how soon, and how bad?"" She asked him, her voice curious, concerned.

"As in, do I have the time to get to the medwing, or no?" She paused here to let him answer,and because for a moment her head spun.

"...if you go now, and book it, you might get there in time." Lucius muttered.

"That being said, I know my way around this building." he told her.

"I can make sure you get there safely." he offered.

"Tell them not to be too concerned with your mana being locked away, and about the strange compound in Jordan." he reasoned.

"Then I need to tell Agent Sh-... Dad... about this."

Kiah was silent for a moment before sighing, heavily.

.... I can feel it starting to fade." She told him honestly.

" Let me lock my office and we can head out. I'm not leaving this place unprotected while I still have a chance." She said before heading off to do just that. He met her in front area to head off, and he could see how it was fading.

"I'm not running. So let's go."

"All right." Lucius responded, as they started to head off.

"If you crash on the way, I'll make sure you get there safe." he continued.

He then paused for a moment, and sighed quietly.

"It's... going to be weird." he said further.

"Both Dad and Mom are going to need to hear what happened." he continued.

"And... it'll be weird for me to be... uh... well... technically in two places at once, if you know what I mean."

"Hollie is pregnant?" Kiah asked as they walked.

"I'm guessing recent. I just saw her last week and I couldnt see anything. Also... Isn't she infertile?" She asked. "Like... Isn't that why her and Hal are so... Free and willing to do everything they do?"

Lucius just sighed.

"If my calculations are correct, then she's just under a month." he told her.

"And... well... yes. She... I mean... yes, and in theory it should be impossible, anyway..." he went on.

"However... well..." he then started to say further, but then paused.

"...you live in a world where you know a demonic nephilim, an archangel nephilim, a ZOMBIE demonic nephilim..." he listed off, raising an eyebrow. "My existence, while technically shouldn't be a thing, really shouldn't be THAT surprising." he commented.

"Though from what I understand, djinn mana plus some other-realm intervention can literally work a miracle."

Kiah just chuckled.

"Obviously. As far as I'm aware, she was rendered infertile back at.... Camp." She said with a gih, hesitating slightly with how to say it.

"So miracle? Definitely." her words were taking a bit more effort to get out, but that made sense.

"..... Hey, Luci?" She started, leaning against the wall.

".... I... I can't."

Lucius looked at her, and resisted the urge to growl at being called 'Luci' again. However, it was a LOT easier to quell that, as he could see this was due to her losing energy very quickly, and she needed to get words out quickly. Plus, odds are her mind was quite fuzzy at the moment.

"I got it." he said.

He then stepped closer towards her, and helped her keep her balance.

"Just pass out if you need to." he told her.

"I'll bring you to the medical wing."

Bast finally stirred in his bed, opening his eyes slowly.

"Huh?" he mumbled.

"Jordan!" he exclaimed, rising to a sitting position, and then regretting it immediately, as it caused pain to shoot through his body.

Kiah didn't say anything, but it wasn't hard for Lucius to tell that it was due to the fact that she really couldn't for the moment. She didn't have a choice in the matter either, before he felt her go limp against him, with him having to put the effort out there to catch her adequately.

Bast woke with Alicja sitting next to him in the chair.

"Yo." She greeted with a wave as she set her phone aside, before getting to her feet and checking his vitals and such.

"How're you feeling?"

Bast was silent for a moment.

"Bad." he said.

"I hurt." he told her.

"And what happened to Jordan? And Hazel? And Zeke?" he asked further.

"Jordan's unconscious still." Alicja told him honestly.

"You were out ... for quite awhile. A surprising amount of time. Hazel and Zeke really did a number on you." She added.

"The other two are all right. Hazel's a bit more subdued than normal, but she's starting to bounce back. Zeke stops by every so often to make sure you're improving, as he feels guilty about what happened."

"...I see." Bast responded.

"I'm not even sure what happened." he said.

"So... Hazel and Zeke are okay. That's good." he said further.

"...will Jordan be okay?" he then asked her.

"We're still waiting to find out." Alicja answered.

"she hasn't woken since Kiah did whatever she did to stop the nexus forming." She told him honestly.

"You can go sit with her if you want, but I'm not sure how your mana would react with that. She does still have a bit of an effect from the nexus." she added, completely blanking on how he didn't know any of that.

"....what?" Bast muttered.

"Nexus?" he asked.

"WHAT nexus?" he asked her.

"And what did Kiah DO?" he asked further, before pausing.

"Wait, you implied you don't know." he muttered.

"But WHAT nexus?"

Alicja was silent before looking to Bast with an incredulous look, moments before facepalming.

"Oh my word, I'm an idiot." She said before sighing, heavily, as her hand dropped.

"Jordan is a hunter." She told him honestly. "And rarely, once every few centuries, a hunter will become a nexus."

"And Jordan was turning into one. Would have completely destroyed her and her soul, and you would have been without her for your predictably long life."

Bast was stunned.

"I..." he stammered.

"That..." he stuttered further.

"Wow." he mumbled, staring into space.

"I don't want to imagine my existence without Jordan." he admitted.

"Well, for now, you won't need to." Alicja assured him.

"As Kiah managed to concoct something to stop it. However, she does have a boosting effect on people." She continued. "Similar to how at Vincent Remmington's place, there is a bit of a boost to your mana."

"So keep that in mind."

"...right." Bast said.

"I'll... I'll remember that." he told her.

He was then silent again for another moment, before sighing.

"At least she'll be okay." he mumbled.

"I need to thank Kiah."

"Well, you can do that later." Alicja commented.

"Kiah's at home with Ilias at the moment, and probably will be for the next bit." She added. When he looked to her quizzically and concernedly, she continued.

"Doing what she did, along with what happened before, took a toll on her. It was about a week ago, and she's still not quite up to par." She added
