"You can assume whatever you want," he answered Jake, "but that wouldn't make you right. If it's a demon you're looking for, you just missed the big, bumbling one. And the idiot swatted these humans around like flies. Given their performance, I hardly believe, even with your two additions, that they would be able to handle me." He finished as he turned his gaze to Terry, answering her question. "And that is what is so bad about it. People overestimate themselves and end up getting themselves killed. Or horribly maimed and crippled. But you'd know all about that, wouldn't you?"

"Hm" Was all Jake said at first, he pondered for a moment and said "If you can't answer that then do you know where the Dragon Rangers are?" Jake said caressing his chin.

Terry felt a wave of shame wash over her. But the wave was quickly overwhelmed by a wave of fear. She hadn't even heard Jake speak even though he was standing quite near to her. How did he know that...
"What do you mean?"
Terry tried to sound defiant, but her response came out rather weakly.

"Why don't you tell us what I meant?" he taunted Terry. "Why don't you turn off that suit you're wearing and we'll all see how long it takes you to fall on your face, Doctor? We'll consider it an experiment. You love experiments, don't you?"

Terry shuffled her feet. As patient and calm as she was, she had all kinds of feelings going through her. But overlying all of them was fear. She took a step back.
She spoke quietly. "Who are you?"

"What, haven't you figured that out yet?" he asked, continuing his taunting. "I am this world's new god, it's new figurehead, its new overseer. I am the almighty being that -you- would know as Helios."

Terry's fear was overwhelming, and she was on the verge of tears.
"Why-How do you know this! What do you want!"

He sighed, suddenly (though they hadn't seen him move) beside Cassandra, leaning on her shoulder. "Tell me. What's the point in going on some long-winded dietical sphiel if she turns right around and asks the same questions you just answered?"

Joker continued watching all this quietly while puzzling out details as to what the hell was going on. He was ignored repeatedly all of the sudden, not something he liked.

Cassandra frowned. "I believe you're supposed to do that because of some whacked out wannabe dictator honour code. That plus it makes you sound badass." She said.

*battlefield* "Terry, calm down, you're losing control, it's not that big of a deal." Jake said this without even looking at her, indicating that there really were things of more importance at the moment. He addressed Helios again "So, do you know where the Dragon rangers are? If you do, will you tell me? I have a bit of an 'appointment' with them."

"Ah, yes, thank you," he answered Cassandra, patting her shoulder as he got off of it and turned to face Jake. "Catch the scent of the biggest case of your lifetime, eh, Lawyer Boy?" Helios asked. "I guess what they say is true. Lawyers beat out mosquitoes for the biggest blood-suckers of all time."

*Battlefield* "Lawyer Boy? There are certainly better names for us. It's funny really, one old woman called us dragons, presumably because some say people like me breathe fire I think its because we lie so much or something." He scratched his head and said "That aside, you didn't answer my question."

"And is there any particular reason I -should- answer your question?" Helios returned snidely. "Are you going to sue me if I don't?"
*Dragon's Den*
When True returned to the den, it was much the same as she left it, the twins probably still resting, the dragons passing time unaware that Helios was where True and Christie had just left, and with David fidgeting idly.

*Battlefield* "I would, If i thought you had anything valuable for me to take, and that even after the legal processes the law could take it from you." Jake said crossing his arms. "I have no additional reason for you to answer me, but either way I'm outta here, I have more important things to take care of as you already know."
