Red Hood Recruitment [Closed]

The door to the office swung open as Hosa pushed her way in, still leaning on the staff that Edward had gave her. Blood still dripped down her wounds, but she had done her best to keep it from getting all over the nice school floors. Her whole body ached after the fight at the Entrance and she was very revealed that he had bothered to give her his staff. Her eyes flickered back to make sure that Edward and Magic were still following her before she marched the best she could toward Headmaster's room. "Headmaster Wright?" she called out as she reached the door, but didn't bother for a response as she opened the door and stepped in with a grimace of pain. "There was an incident," she said, not sure how else to put it. She supposed 'incident' was a light word to use when she had just gotten attacked by a member of a group out to destroy Beata, but she didn't care enough to think about a better word to say. So incident was going to have to work.

The headmaster had felt a slight disturbance in the force from somewhere in the campus, but spats happened so often in Beata that he hadn't been bothered think much of it, assuming one of the guardians or teachers would step in to remedy the situation; instead using his time to bore into paperwork. He read reports from Samuel Blaine, the school recruit, from the status of training the students, from Ms. Moore and Taylor Andrews, and even letters from his son, still acting as the main diplomat between his own school and the European wonder.

It had seemed to quiet in the offices then that it'd thrown him completely off his guard once he'd noticed the presence of Hosa enter the rooms, feeling completely determined, but distraught. His eyes were already at the door once she'd pushed herself inside. "Hosa?" The man was immediately on his feet, stepping around his desk and walking over to her. Once he was close, it was far easier to see the blood spilling onto the carpet. And then he noticed that she wasn't alone, although he couldn't see the others yet. "What's happened?"

Ed stepped in a moment later, arms crossed. "Sorry for barging in on you, but obviously this requires immediate attention." he said. He was getting impatient and Hosa's refusal to go to the infirmary had irritated him. The boy hoped the headmaster would listen to him, but he knew better. He'd be sent out the moment Agrona was mentioned. And then he'd be on the run for the rest of his life. Not something he'd like to do.

Magic followed behind the other two, his arms were crossed, and he clearly didn't look happy. But instead of saying something like the others he just remained quiet. The two others could clearly explain everything that happened. He was just hear for answers to questions that had appeared in his mind from all that had happened. Hopefully the headmaster would allow him to listen in, even if he sent him out of the room Magic would still be able to listen in weither he liked it or not.

Relief flooded though Hosa when she saw that the Headmaster was in his room, however she quickly grimace from the pain as she gently shook her head as Edward stepped in after her. "I was attacked in the courtyard by a man with the same gift as myself," she said, her blue eyes meeting the headmaster's as she started to explain what exactly had taken place. "There was a belief battle but thanks to the two of them," she paused to motion at Edward and Magic with her free hand. "I wanted to bring this to your attention immanently because I have reason to believe that he is a member of Agrona's force...Along with Edward here." She glared over at Edward, wincing slightly as she continued on. "The two of them knew each other by name, with the man who attacked me being called Feris. Edward has admitted that they are apart of Agrona's army, but agreed to come talk to you as Feris made it clear that he would make sure Edward could not return thus giving him no place to go."

Occ: Infodump, GO!

Nathaniel's eyes flickered from Hosa to Edward to Magic and back to the Guardian again, listening quietly as the young woman explained the situation, clearly injured all the while. He wanted to rush her straight to the infirmary, but if she was that determined to see him, then he had to hear her out completely and see what it was she had to say.

"Argona?" He repeated, golden eyes turned surprised as he glanced back to Edward again. They had such strong reason to suspect he was a black turn-coat, and yet they would escort him here even still? Even if he did appear to help Hosa, could he be trusted? "If you were with them, then why are you here? What have you told her? What does this Feris know?" The headmaster demanded, taking a step back and glancing through the window for a brief moment.

"Hosa, if you refuse to get help now, at least have a seat on the couch. Mr. Mason, shut the door. We have much to discuss."

The former spy sighed. "Feris and I were sent here to spy on the school. We haven't figured out much, and the only thing Feris has to report back is how much of a traitor I am. And trust me, I plan to live up to that." he said through clenched teeth. Feris would pay. One way, or another. "And I also didn't enjoy the endless pain and suffering they put me through. And, however much I've been taught to not care, however much pain they put my family, especially Barry, through."

Magic flinched at his first name. Nope still didn't like it even if it was Mr.Nate saying it. He did what he was told, though he accidentally closed the door harder than he thought he would. He let out a quiet "Sorry." Before going silent to let the other talk. He was glad that he would be able to listen in though, with out having to be sort of sneaky about it.

Hosa flinched slightly when the Headmaster told her to at least sit down, not really wanting to get blood all of his nice furniture but...Perhaps she was in a bit more pain then she was trying to show, and soon gave into his demand and moved her way to the couch, sitting down with a sigh of relief. Placing Edward's staff on her lap with her hands folded on top, she looked from the Headmaster to Edward as the ex-Agrona's Army member started to explain a bit, not paying much attention to the fact that Magic had shut the door a bit hard.  After a few moments, she cleared her throat as she spoke up. "May I ask a question of my own - why did Feris attack me? And don't tell me it was because I was a Guardian...You called it his 'personal vendetta' after you pushed me out of the way."

In the back of his mind, he noted the Spring prefect's sudden cringe, his discomfort at the name poisoning the air in the room for Nate furthermore, but there was no time to focus on that. His gaze stayed glued to the apparent traitor, watching him carefully. It was clear as day to see how completely enraged the young Edward was, even the dullest person could attest to that, but was it for the reasons he was confessing?

Nathaniel frowned, letting the room sit in silence as he thought. One of the benefits of his dear gift, it was almost always easy to tell whether someone was being completely truthful or not. Whenever there was a hidden lie, he found there was always a 'tell' that gave them away; a nervous tick, a hint of regret, or a twinge of twisted carelessness. Sometimes it was blindingly obvious, other times it felt like nothing more than a gut feeling, but in that moment the Headmaster felt neither. And so, he took all of Edward's words for truth.

"Your pain?" He blinked, stepping back around his desk. "How did you come to into her service to begin with?" For a moment, Nate paused, glancing at the guardian in the room as she raised her voice. He paid no mind to anything she wished to say. Hosa was owed that much after the condition she was put in and her question was certainly an interesting one.

He turned to Hosa to answer her questions before the headmaster's. "Ferris never really said. He just told me that he hated your guts. Never occurred to me to ask why." he told her honestly. He took a deep breath before turning back to Nathaniel. "I was taken when Barry and I were only 4 years old. Our mother was placed on a gift watchlist, or that's what I was told. When I was taken, it triggered Barry's powers. Mine came soon after. Using force." he began. He closed his eyes and his face contorted in pain with the memories of his past. "In the 12 years I was in Agrona's possession, I was either tortured, or trained, to be a killer. Heartless, completely empty of morals. I was taught to not feel anything except for anger and hate." He brought in a shaky breath. This was bringing up memories he'd rather not remember. "Ever since then I was told to follow orders or they'd kill me. And my family. Not necessarily in that order." he added, "Now do you see why I'm so willing to confess?"

Magic stayed silent for now, despite having questions of his own. He supposed they would be answered by this conversation going on. He leaned on the wall next to the door, and crossed his arms over his chest. So far apparently these 'force' people were trained to be merciless, and kill people. Well that isn't really that new to him seeing what just happened with Feris. There was also the fact that they were spying on the school. Well it was obvious that these people had something against the school.

When Ed mentioned that these people had the intention to kill Barry to get Ed to do whatever they wanted, Magic clenched his teeth together tightly. "Like hell I would let them do anything to Barry." Magic growled softly. This was his best friend they were talking about. His friend ever since elementary school. His input probably didn't matter in this situation at all, but he said what he said anyway.

Hosa was disappointed when Edward admired he had no idea why Feris went after her. As far as she could think, she had never met anyone named Feris, much less couldn't see a reason why someone like that would go after her. She supposed it would be a question for another day...She let herself relax on the couch, trying to keep her mind off the pain that ached though her and instead focusing on what the three of them were talking about. She grimaced - not of pain but of disgust - when Edward started to explain how he was taken and forced to be a killer. She could easily see why he wanted to escape it all, but something told her Feris wasn't in the same boat as him. He seemed a little excited to be in a fight... When Magic growled softly, a smile flickered onto her face as she let out a small laugh under her breath. She had no doubt in her mind that things would not end well for anybody who dared to threaten Magic's friends.

Nathaniel let out a heavy sigh. What this young man had been through was the very life that the Headmaster had feared for all of his students, growing up as a total outcast, even worse - being abused and used as a living weapon. There were a few more issues at hand that he could consider. The rest could wait, at least until he could call in his secretary in a few other Guardians to finish questioning Edward later on. For now, he was more concerned about the immediate safety of the school and the bleeding girl resting on his couch.

"Are there any others hidden here?"

Ed let out a bitter laugh when Magic said he wouldn't let people hurt Barry. "Yeah, good luck with that. They have members more powerful than you, Sound Man." he told him. He turned his eyes back to Nathaniel. "There's no one else here that I know of. Not that that means much, since they never told me much of anything, but still." he answered.
