Arielle couldn't help but giggle when Abyss ran his hand up his leg and scoop her onto the couch. Even after the years of trying to control the personality, she was so much more frivolous in her nymph form. Where as the regular Arielle would have shot and evil glare or outright smacked him, the nymph decided to play it cute and cuddle closer to the red muscled mutant placing one hand on his chest while the other held the glass of wine she had been offered.

"You know, I thought that was kind of fishy. I mean, you knew I'd have a disadvantage against Sam whether he froze me or evaporated me. Either way, it just wouldn't have ended pretty. You know? Well of course you know, you're the one who sent me," the nymph shrugged and took a sip of her wine, allowing Sam to say his piece. Her eyes bulged as she coughed on the wine upon hearing about Sam just having found out he had second child. Really? I mean...she couldn't judge...she had two kids...then again, number one, they were twins, it's not like she had an option and number two, they were by the same guy.

"I see jail didn't completely shatter your mojo if you have kids by two different women. Want me? I'll make you a third. I mean, can't say I've never thought about what a night with Cold Steel would be like" Arielle chuckled. "Relax, I'm kidding and I agree with him Abyss. Being a parent myself, I would have to insist that you try to call off any future hits on Mr. Johnson. Especially if you're Sammy's god father if I heard right. I mean, god what kind of monster are you? Besides an adorable one." the nymph said rubbing a finger beneath Abyss' chin. "So Sam...you know I'm still nosy as ever. Who's the second baby momma?"

~~“I would appreciate it greatly if you called off the bounty and all future bounties as well,”

He nodded already conceding.

~~“It turns out Sammy isn’t my only child and seeing as I have only had been reunited with them I would hate to have to look over my shoulder to make sure no harm had come to them.”

He nodded again as he conceded once more.

~~“Most bounty hunters don’t care who gets in their way and seeing as not only myself and my son live at the mansion, it is an accident or kidnapping waiting to happen.”

**"You know, I thought that was kind of fishy. I mean, you knew I'd have a disadvantage against Sam whether he froze me or evaporated me. Either way, it just wouldn't have ended pretty. You know? Well of course you know, you're the one who sent me,"

He caressed Arielle’s arm soothingly, he might just have to keep her, she flowed along with things wonderfully, didn’t take it personal. He was actually starting to feel a little bit bad about this whole ordeal.

~~“And seeing you are all about mutant superiority and such I don’t think you would want the death of a mutant child none the less your god son to be on your conscious, to me it just seems like it is counter productive to your goals…”

**"I see jail didn't completely shatter your mojo if you have kids by two different women. Want me? I'll make you a third. I mean, can't say I've never thought about what a night with Cold Steel would be like"

**"Relax, I'm kidding and I agree with him Abyss. Being a parent myself, I would have to insist that you try to call off any future hits on Mr. Johnson. Especially if you're Sammy's god father if I heard right. I mean, god what kind of monster are you? Besides an adorable one."

“Water Princess do you intend on fulfilling this… hit? No? well then it has been called off I won’t renew it. The card had been canceled upon seeing Sam. Here so , I think it has been sufficiently canceled. Though I do wish you and your school would simply come around already. We have new york in our palm, yet there you are with your hero factory setting up justice x or justice next or whatever the new group are calling themselves these days.” He paused an then looked at Sam seriously. “ You have my word. Never again will I put a hit out on you. Or order your death.” He paused thinking about. “Or try to kill you my self, it is about time I gave you that much. though don’t ask me not to argue with you, so long as you insist on strutting around with an x on you somewhere. ” he stopped as Arielle began to speak again.

"So Sam...you know I'm still nosy as ever. Who's the second baby momma?"

Abyss scooted Lisa into his opposite side and leaned back a little and winked at Cs, how many times had they played a game of I win? Two guys two girls, whoever could end up with two and the other one had none, won. it was safe to say that there were plenty of ties, but as far as actual wins Sam easily beat him, so he would take this shallow victory even if it was oddly placed.

The first thing he had to do was correct Arielle, “Both were before prison…and nothing could ever diminish my mojo…” he smiled and then turned to Abyss who sat like a king on his throne with two women at his side, a king of power and now a king of mutual feelings. Sam would never even think about taking the life of Abyss or any of the clones even back in the day when it was a constant struggle of the Order vs. X-men.

Abyss had a point now the Order did occupy the majority of new York but the X-men were still intact they were still defenders of justice in the ever-changing world, however no matter what Sam wasn’t one to enslave, destroy or hold himself above anyone else. He was still human the only difference is he had gifts, gifts he was adamant on using to help anyone that needed it.

Rising to his feet with a grin on his face and his hand outstretched and the news of the hit and future hits being abandoned the little visit turned out to be a success. “I would never expect you to see eye to eye with me on everything big guy… but thank you.” Sam opened his hand for a shake and continued to smile catching the wink that Abyss gave him then turned his attention to Arielle he smiled and said, “The Airyn’s mother is Alexandra Kettler or some know her as Alexandra Leigh…” smiling and looking at his watch placed on his left hand Sam smiled and said, “Speaking of which I have to meet her and Airyn for dinner and make an attempt to give the presence of a normal family to not only Airyn but Sammy as well.”

Walking over to the area right below the skylight Sam pointed up and said, “Oh and from now on I think I’ll have Sammy call before he decides to drop in, to be honest I don’t think he is ready for the birds and bees talk yet…” Sam directed the question to both Lisa and Abyss then smiled, “Expect us to visit soon old friend…” then looking to Arielle he smiled and said, “If you plan on staying in town there is a room for you at the mansion should you need it, I look forward to seeing you again.” with a small jump and then activation of his powers Sam flew up and out of the building heading to pick his son up from Prison.

Arielle 's grin gradually diminished upon hearing who the mother of Sam's second child was. It was funny....a flash to a little over 10 years ago when Arielle had arrived at the mansion, and her passes at him were in vain because of Leila being on his arm at that time. He loved her. She wanted to rasberry then and there when she thought about it. Then apparently after the aftermath of their break up, sometime along the line Alexandra and Sam hooked up? That...just hurt Arielle a bit. Sure she had Aiden but that didn't mean she wouldn't have passed up a chance to hook up with Cold Steel for a night and now she had a kid by him. "Son of a bitch." was all she could say watching Sam leave, though she was still flattered and appreciated his invitation to come back to the mansion, she couldn't help but feel a bit jealous of Ms. Kettler. Maybe it was the nymph's way of taking the news because had Ari received it in her human form, she would have probably just shrugged it off.

"I suppose I should be on my way too. Go check on my offspring. It's been lovely Abyss. Hope to see you soon. Maybe the next time we meet it can be fun instead of business." she said reaching of to give the red mutant a peck on the cheek and she handed her wine glass to Lisa.

"See you later." she winked before taking off into the sky towards her own home.

~~“I would never expect you to see eye to eye with me on everything big guy… but thank you.”
“Airyn’s mother is Alexandra Kettler or some know her as Alexandra Leigh…” “Speaking of which I have to meet her and Airyn for dinner and make an attempt to give the presence of a normal family to not only Airyn but Sammy as well.”

“give the family a hello and enjoy life to its fullest friend. If anyone else comes after, know it wasn’t my doing and if you want who ever is after you taken care of well, you know a girl who just lost a fortune.” He raised an eyebrow, wondering how Sam stayed so calm, he used to be much easier to draw out, he supposed it was the children. He heard they taught you patience.

~~ “Oh and from now on I think I’ll have Sammy call before he decides to drop in, to be honest I don’t think he is ready for the birds and bees talk yet…” “Expect us to visit soon old friend…” A simple knock or ring of the door bail would do.” He replied to Sam lightly. Besides if the boy was going to learn anything of that nature I would certainly leave any wildlife out of it.

~~ “If you plan on staying in town there is a room for you at the mansion should you need it, I look forward to seeing you again.”

**"Son of a bitch."

Abyss let out a light laugh.

**"I suppose I should be on my way too. Go check on my offspring. It's been lovely Abyss. Hope to see you soon. Maybe the next time we meet it can be fun instead of business."

“of course, If you’re in town and you’d rather not bother with the mansion, there is extra room here too.” He didn’t say an extra room, simply extra room. His bed was rather large….

"See you later."

“until then.” He turned to Lisa in his arm as she set next to him setting the wine glasses on the table."Now where were we?" Lifting her with ease onto his knees in front of him and began to massage her neck with the utmost care and gentleness.
