Diana growled, picking up a pillow and started to beat Jonathon with. "Why the hell do you always look at the negivte! If they wanted you dead I don't think you'd be here! Now cheer up or I bloody well shoot you too!" She hit him over the haed with the pillow. Jim barked tail waging, thinking it was a game.

Jonathon looked at Diana, a hurt look on his face "After I saved your life, you'd shoot me?? Im hurt" he grabbed a pillow and swung into the side of her head. "Ha, so there"

Diana had the I'm going to kick your ass look on her face. Griping the pillow she smaked the sword out of his hand, and caught it. "Yes So Ha!" Diana begane to walk off with sword, towards her room.

Jonathon jumped up and ran after her, grabing the sword "Ohhhhh, no. The sword stays with me sweetheart. Evil eyes is after me, so the sword stays where he is most likely to go. I am not letting it out of my sight"

Diana didn't let go of it. "Heh...Your fine here, don't worry, why do more damage?...Or are you scared?" She had to ask. It was odd, he was actting like a child, who needed his stuff animal, before he went to bed.

Jonathon froze, his expression serious as he looked Diana right in the eyes "Ive seen a lot of nasty stuff in my life. And I have fought a lot of very mean, very    dangerous monsters. And before tonight, I had never had anyone put me down. I had always been miles ahead of everything I had to face. And now, in one night, Ive had my ass handed to me twice. And the second time I wouldn't have been the only one to die. You are damn right Im scared. Im terrified. I know for a fact I didnt stand a chance in hell against the thing outside the library. And he told me to kill you, and Lucian, and Drake and everyone else around there. He told me, like he could command me. Yeah, Im scared out of my goddamn mind. And this" he lifted Diana's hand that was holding the sword "Is the only thing that he seemed worried about." None of the usual sarcasm or cockiness was in his voice. The fear wasn't there in his voice, but his eyes showed his nerves.

Diana looked at him, and studied his face. He was serious, and she wasn't about to take the only that made him feel better. She let go of the sword. She didn't know what to say. Diana sighed. "Your going to need to hide that sword better then...Becaus eyou can't go around hugging it in public..." She trying to look him in the face.

Jonathn never took his eyes off of Diana's. There was an intensity behind them, an odd mix of determination, fear, and pure out spite. After a long quite moment he looked away from her and at the sword instead. He lifted it and let his eyes take in the details of it. After a minuet lowered the sword, sighing "Yeah, you're right. Ill figure something out" he turned around and headed back to the pull out.

Diana started to walk to her room. "There's food in the frige if your hungry, just help your self..." And with those words she disspared into her room closing the door. When inside her room she turned the light on and looked around. Today had been on of kind. She didn't know if she wanted to handle tomorrow.

Jonathon sat down on the pull out and leaned the sword against it. He rubbed the bridge of his nose in a vain effort to dispel the headache that was setting in now that he was sitting still. He laid back gently, trying to not bump his left side. He was asleep before his head hit the pillow.

Diana stripped out of her clothes and into her pajama's. A smpile white tank top, with short boy shorts that were black. She flopped on her bed, and started to fall asleep. Jim on the other hand hoped up on the pullout and sunggled in between Jonathon and Lucian.

Jonathon jumped when Jim hopped up on the pull out "Mangy flea bitten mop" he muttered as he turned over and attempted to go back to sleep.

Jim grunted as if to resoned to his comment. He just cuddles close to Jonathon, and layed his haed on his shoulder, and big furry paw on his wasit like he was trying to tell him something. Diana on the other was passed out in her bed, that she didn't even bother to get under the covers.

The moring came as fast as the night had left. The sun was bright and shining and looked as if it would be a good summer's day.

Jnathon stirred as the sunlight poured into the room. He mummbled about the how stupid an idea the sun was before covering his face with a pillow.

Diana groaned, and looked at her clock. She should get up. So still half asleep she walks out into the living room to the kicthen to start a pot of coffee. Jim started to lick Jonathon's face, whimpering alittle.

Jonathon growled from under the pillow "'op 'at" was all that was distigiusable frmo under the pillow as he pushed Jim away.

Diana heard mumnling she had forgatten they'er were people at her place, and she still in her nighties. "Uh?" Jim was a newfie and the big old dog knew it. He got a hold of Jonathons pant leg and started to pull him out of bed.

Jonathon sat bolt up right "Oh for the love of god you stupid mangy mutt" he swung the pillow at Jim as he stepped away from the pull out "Diana that dog is a child of the..." he stopped as he spotted her standing there. He didnt move for a moment, staring, before slowly closing his eyes and turning around. "Huh, forget there were people here or were you putting on a show?"

Diana looked at him. "...yeah...? Are you alright?" She asked him, a little unsure why he was upset, probley Jim, being Jim. Which came proncing in the kicthen sitting next to Jonathon leaning on him. "Aw, Jim are you bothering Jonathon?" Jim came up to her wanging his tail, he jumped on to her shoulder a gave her a good moring kiss. "Ok, go get the paper..." She said, and he was off, garbing her keys and opening the door.

Jonathon streched and sat down in a chair "Your dog is a bed hog. And seems to think I should be up now. Im not entirly certain I agree with this thought"

Diana smiled at him. "I take it you don't get up this eraily in the moring?" She asked while looking for her coffee beans. Diana looked up at her top cover, she really needed to organzie this stuff. Hopping on the counter to get the coffee beans. Diana asked. "Do you wants some coffee?... Or pain killers?"

Jonathon shrugged "I can deal with mornings....just not after a night like last night. And yes please"

Diana was waiting for the coffee to finish so she brought him a few pain killers and some water, and sat down. "Is your shoulder alright?" She asked him. Diana heard a little noise from the door, and saw Jim with the newspaper. He placed on her lap, and walked over to Jonathon, and rested him haed on his lap.

Jonathon looked at the dog for a second "Hmm? Oh, yeah. Its good" he pulled the bandage off to reveal a pale scar where the gash had been last night.

Diana was surprised. "...and your uh lovely body art?" She asked lookinh back at the coffee pot. Diana seemed alot more relaxed, for one she didn't care that she was still in her pajama's, nor that she had to go to work. Jim nuged Jonathon's leg.

Jonathon looked at Jim "What do you want fluffy face?" He shook his head. "It doesnt burn anymore, thank god. But it certainly isnt coming off. Looks like Ive been branded for life. Lovely" he downed the pain killers and sat back "So, when do I get deputized huh? If im going to being saving the people of this city from some secret evil, I want perks"

Diana crossed her legs and raised her eyebrow. "What hell do you mean by perks?" She flat out said to him. Jim leaned on him.

Jonathon looked at Diana "I have a list of demands. I want to have police like athority, i want a gun, a badge with my name on it, I want to get to play with the cars with the sirens" he grinned "the list goes on. Ill accept that for startes though"

"You plan to take the two year coruse for it?... Your not a cop... It's...diffrent..." She said resting her chin on her hand leaning forward on the table. "You have to understand, we need your help... I'm sure you'll get paid after all this..."

Jonathon snorted "From the way Keith was talking it sounds like Im lucky to not be in a jail cell." He shook his head "Fine, then I demand compensation equal to my requests. No idea what that is, but I demand it" he lifted his head up high, acting serious then smiled and winked at Diana.

Diana laughed at him, she grabed the newspaper and smacked him on the haed lightly. She walked over to the coffee pot, seeing it was done. She poured two cups, pretty sure the others were still pasted out. Diana brought the coffee over.

Jonathon grinned as she got up to get the coffee. He leanded forward and put his face into his hands as he yawned. "So, we suppose to be there any time in paticular or anything?"

Diana brought over cream and sugar, with the coffee, she had some talanet to carey more then one thing. Setting the coffee down she looked at him. "In about an hour or so..."

Jonathon nodded as he grabbed for the sugar. "Alrighty, coffee first"

Diana smilled at him. She poured a little cream in her coffee, she then took the sugar when Jonathon was done. Jim pornce off to the living room, to wake Lucian. "Yep..then another day of crazy killer monsters and cranky bosses!"

Jonathon lifted the sword "Only this time Im going to be doing the ass kicking" He sat the sword down and drank his coffee.

Diana giggled when he said that. "You sure about that?...Maybe he wanted to ask you out?" She said in a joking manner. "You seem to attrack alot men?" She said trying not to laugh.

Jonathon sat his cup down and looked at her "What are you saying Diana?? Are you questioning my masculinity?"

Diana grined and shurged. "It just seems your well a men magnet, I geuss..." Diana sipped her coffee. There was grunting from the leaving room. She smiled.

Jonathon scowled "You know in some cultures its a death crime to insult a mans masculinity, especially after he saves your life" He sips slowly from his coffee.

Diana rised an eyebrow. "So? Weren't not in that kind of conutry. I mean there's nothing wrong with it." She smiled at him. "There's nothing with being a guy magnet" Diana sipped her coffee. Diana looked up at him grined.

Jonathon scowled again "And they are all crazy to. I only seem to attract the crazies, reguardless of gender" he sighed.
.
Diana laughed at him. "I'm not carzy, yet..." she grined at him. "But it's not all ways bad thing..." She nuged him with her foot. 'So why not joke about insted of just scowling there..." Diana smiled sweetly

Jonathon grinned and sat his cup down again "You saying I attract you Diana?"

Diana smiled. "You think so?" She said sipping her coffee. "I wouldn't use the word attact..." She gave devilish smile then looked out the window.

Jonathon watched her for a second "Hmm" he looked away "I dont suppose we could stop by my place before we go to hq. I dont really have a shirt here"

Diana looked at him and smilled. "You want some clean pants to?... You about my roomates size...yes I live with a man... But it's not like...If I werea guy maybe.." Diana stood up with her coffee, and walked over to the conture. "see, I'm not crazy..Just werid!" She smiled brightly.

Jonathon raised and eyebrow "Losta explanation for a simple situation. So where was said roommate?" he stood up and took his cup to the kitchen "And Id really rather have my own things, thanks"

Diana leaned on the counter. "Oh, he's in london, doing some photo shots or something..." She tuked her hair behind her ear. She studie Jonathon for a momnet then at her coffee taking another sip. "Ok, but you'll have five minutes to get when stop there"

Jonathon nodded "It wont take but half that"

Diana smiled. "Well get ready then..." she said putting cup in the sink. Diana walked pasted him, and patted him on the chest. "It's going to be another long day..." she said smilling

Jonathon winced as she patted his chest. Damn, still stings "Yippie"

Diana jumped when he winced. "oh my god! I'm sorry, I thought it was better! I'm soo sorry" she said, her eye wide.

"Better yes, completely healed, no. Still stings like a bitch out of hell when hit, oh god yes." Jonathon shook his head and stood up. "Im set to go when you are" he grabs his sword and trench.

Diana nodded. "Yeah... ah... not leaving just yet..." She smilled at him. She walked to her room, taking her shrit off, and shortt, when she was in her room. She had her own bathroom in her bed room, so she hoped into the shower turning on the water.

Jonathon plopped back down on the chair and tried to play a run through of the night before in his head. He went over every little detail he could remember and tried to cement it in his brain for later.

Diana washer hair, and got out, tieing it up in a lose up updo. She wraped the towle her body, her door was slitly open, and Jim opened it all the way, walking in rubbing up against her leg. "Hey you?' She said, rubbing his haed.

Jonathon waited patiently for Diana to finish showering, his thoughts wandering now.

Diana threw on a pair of underwaer, and such, throwing some pants on, Diana choice for a top was a bule V neck shrit. Jim on the other hand thought it was a toy and grabed it and ran off. "JIM!" Diana snaped at the big fur ball. She grabed the towle to cover her bra and chased after the dog.

Jonathon glanced up when he heard Diana shout. He saw Diana chasing Jim, who had a shirt in his mouth, a towel covering her chest "Everything ok?"

Diana ran pasted him, to the kicthen. She waved her arms around forgetting that the towel was in her, that was covering her chest. "Damn it Jim! I've told you this one to many times! My clothes are not your play toyes!!" She said, running around in her bra, trying to use the towel to get Jim, but the fluff ball was fast.

Jonathon watched calmly as Diana chased Jim around her apartment, smiling gently.

Diana chased Jim but was out smarted. And he hidd. Diana put her hands on her hip panting a little and looked at Jonathon. Her towel in hand, she was wearing dogtags the hung low around her neck. "...You could of grabed him..." She said pouting.

Jonathon rested his chin on his hands "He never got that close" he grinned "Plus it was an amusing show"

Diana looked at him, taking a deep breath. "So you couldn't get up and try?" She asked a little flusterd, her cheek a bit red. "And why do you think everything I do is a show?"

Jonathon shook his head "Not everything. Just the bits where you run around in your underwear" he smiled "And I could have, but this seemed more fun"

Diana's face went red. "Oh for pites's sake" She hit Jonathon with the towel. "Help me!" Diana walked over to him, pinching his good arm.

Jonathon got up and followed her "Come here Jim. Give me the shirt"

Diana saw him waging his tail at the two, the shrit in his mouth."Jim...come here..." She started to walk forward. But jim took off runing away. "Jiiim!" Diana sighed, still stand there with no shrit.

Jonathon ran after Jim, but to no avail "You may just have to get a different shirt."

Diana grumbled. "It's that I'd change, just I don't have the cash to replace it..." She sighed. Diana sat down, Jim came running back over to her with her shrit in his mouth, she took it. "You fluff ball, I told, not toy!" She patted him on the haed.

Jonathon chuckled at the dog "Least he brought it back in the end"

Diana looked up at Jonathon. "well yeah, he knows better" There was no dog spite on it like you'd think, but it was dry. Sho she put it on. "Thank you Jim....but never again"

Jonathon laughed "You have a very strange dog. Talented, but strange"

Diana petted Jim. "I know, can you belive I found him in the streets about three months ago?...He just grows on you..." She hugged the bbig dog. Diana looked at Jonathon and smiled.

Jonathon raised an eyebrow "Ill let him keep growing on you" he grabbed up his trench and the sword "We set?"

"Awww are you saying you don't like him even alittle bit!" Diana pouted, in some werid way Jim looked like he was pouting also.

"Just not a big animal person" Jonathon shrugged on his trench and slid the swords hilt into one of his Baton holders on his belt.

Diana hiped checked him lightly. "Not much of a people preson either?" She said grining, walking back to her room, to her bathroom, to do her make up, just foundtion, and liner and such. After putting on her face she sliped on a pair of flats. fixing her hair she, grabing her sunglass's.

Jonathon shook his head "Yeah, so I guess you could say Im not much of a living thing person. BUt then I havent been overly fond of the dea either"

Diana came back out, seeing that Lucian was awake and ready, as his chipper self. Diana wraped her arm around Jonathon's shoulder being careful of his painful Tattoo. "Aw come on! Living isn't that bad, if you have people to share it with!" She smiled brightly. Jim barked as to say right!

Jonathon looked at her "Yeah, that would be the probem wouldnt it. You have to have someone there. And when you are getting attacked by monsters all the time, people tend to not stick around" he headed towards the door "Plus people tend to suck" he grinned at Diana "Present company excluded of course"

Diana walked with Lucian. "Well then you haven't met the right people!" She said, making sure Jim had food and water before locking up, and haeding for the elevator. "I mean your stuck with me..."

Jonathon followed them to the elevator, not responding for a moment "Im trying to figure out whether that was a "You better get use to me" or an invitation" he raised an eyebrow at her.

Diana giggled at his repson. "More like, figure it out." She stood there waiting for the elevator, the doors opened, and they all got in, she hit the button to P3.

Jonathon cocked his head as her response but remained quite through the ride in the elevator

Diana yawned, the doors open, and the tree walked out, towards the car, she unlocked it, and got in waiting for the others.

Jonathon followed Diana and got in the car "Alright, to my place so I can get not torn, blood covered clothes"

Diana smiled at him. "Aw, but it's such a manly look for you!" She joked, she waited for Lucian, to get in. She pulled out of the garage and waited for the other car to go by.

Jonathon looked at her "Yeah, shirtless and blood covered. So sexy"

A thought crossed her mind when he said that. "A vampier flick maybe!" She laughed, pulling on to the road, making sure she could turn.

Jonathon laughed. "Yeah, shame most people only freak out at the sight of blood"

Diana nodded. 'Not, if you've been around it enough..." She said smiling at him, but turning her attion to the road. It wasn't hard to find his place, she stoped in front of his building. "Here we are..."

Jonathon stepped out of the car "This will just take a second" he headed into the building

Diana waved him off, to hurry. She turned in the radio, to her surprise, the Museum was robed, of three artofacts. She listened closely to the radio, nothing was borken nor were the alarms triped, to what was stolen, it didn't say. "Oh dear..."

Jonathon got to his room and quickly changed, throwing on a clean pair of pants and a tshirt. He cleaned up his face quickly and ran back downstairs to the car. "Alrighty, set to go"

Diana jumped hearing Jonathon. "O-Oh right!..." She was so engulfed by the radio, she didn't hear him come up. She waited for him to get in and then took off for the Station.

When arriving at the station, Keith was sawmped with paper work, to deal with the robbery and such, truns out the itmes invloed an old, sword that had beed pasted down threw some celitc family, an old book, called the Zehara, a book of black magic and santanic stuff in it, as well as the Fusion blade of Zuse. All items had one thing in common, the time area. This was odd for they came from diffrent parts of the world. The sword, had no name, but was made like the one Jonathon carried, as well as the dagger, the book on the other hand, has never been open since it was found in a miyian temple, if anything, it shouldn't had been there. These items had caused more of problem for the people trying out to find who they belonged too. The sword held intrest, it had no name, just symbols down the blade, it was more plain then Jonathons'. No jewles, just a plain white gold blad. Why would anyone steal it? Who would steal?

Diana parked in the stations parking lot, just a floor below the office she worked in. worndering if keith was ok. she knew, if the items were indeed suprenatrual it would be dumped on his plate. Dianan walked over to the evelvator, waiting for the others to get, when do so. she hit the button to go up...

Grunting silently when the elevator doors opened up to reveal the partner to which he was one-sidedly placed with, Scott pushed away from the wall, gesturing with his uninjured arm for them to follow, and headed back to Keith's office. He found himself rolling his shoulder gently, unconsciously, to see if he could push that pain point a little further than what it was at as of current. He walked into his temperary boss' office and posted up against a wall nearest the right corner of the office--as if distancing himself from everyone but his boss and the cat--, slipping his free hand into his pocket as he waited for the pleasantries to pass.

Jun looked up from his work at the newcomers, inclinded his head to Scott, and went back to the documents that Keith had finished with looking over. He was determined to make sure this man didn't miss a damn thing in these reports. Clothed now in a new set of clothing--some of Keith's old clothing, obviously--; A long-sleeved shirt that wa far to big on him, as well as a set of jeans that he could very well trip over or lose from about his waist if it weren't for the belt that was wrapped about his frame... Twice. The onlt think he did not wea was a pair of shoes and socks, finding it a bit more comfortable to have his bare feet on the ground, to gain his barings. To say the least, he looked like nothing more than a little kid sitting nexto his adoptive father.

Keith looked up from the paperwork on his desk and casually leaned back in his chair, hands connected tightly as they rested against his lower abdomine. He smiled half-heartedly at his fellow officer, then looked past her to see who all had joined her. "Well, another full house, hm, Diana? Thanks for stopping by the library to see Scotty. Jonathon, I want to speak with you once this is all out of the way."

Diana shruged. "I guess you can call it that...." She looked at Jun not regolizing him at frist. "Oh my...um your clothes..." She said try not to giggling, as cute as he was just sitting there, if was still funny atlest. "I think I still have them in my trunk..." She shook her head sitting down in front of him. "What you don't like his new tattoo?" Diana said grining, it could be told she was in a better mood. For once she wasn't seeing dead people, yet, or that her growing fear of Scott was gone, just his cheeky attuide, which she'd only handle with her own. Diana looked at Keith. 'so boss, is the robbery tied in anyway to the case? I herd the news..."

"It's not that. Scott reported in on everything that happened at the library last night, including Jonathon'smystery guest. And, I can't really say. It's not that I'm unauthorizd to, it's just that Jun here hasn't come up with any connections. Actually, I'm letting him go over all the work for me. I find it nice to have a little relaxation time to myself. God knows I don't get it at home, what with a yapping dog waiting for me to make her some food or to join her in bed... And my trusty Boxer, Alex, too. Noisy beasts, they are." The cheif leaned forward and rested his elbows on the desk, smiling across the platform to the female officer. "But, you know, this paperworbusiness is just between us in the room, for right now."

Jun glanced at Diana out of the corner of his eyes and nodded defly, narrowing his lids slightly from the laughing. "Pft... beings and their insistant... Already sick of it.." He mumbled ever so softly to himself, flipping through the pages, still so.

Diana grined at Keith. "Yapping dogs...paper work...well!" She said crossing her legs,leaning back in the chair. "Well...nothing in this case makes senecs anymore...It's like running threw the past trying to find the answers..." diana had to pondre on the thought. "the time line..." she mumbled, use to studing history, it had been awhile.

"What about it, kiddo? Fill me in. It may be my age catching up with me, but I think I have missed something you have not." Cheif of officers let the smile fall from his expression and sat back in his chair once more, arms crossed over chest solidly as he waited for the assessment made by one of the more trusty officers he had working for him.

Diana sighed, thinking. They were linked, they just were, all in the same time area, so what was link, roman catholic was coming into power, as the mythical gods fell. Was something to do with rise and fall of Christ?
