Laying Down The Law *OTA*

[hunteroffreaks]

There was a new notice posted in the mess hall where the whole team could read it.

I'd just like reiterate that while the power of command may have shifted, you should all still behaving. Any misconduct-

Aw, fuck it with being formal. Enough bullshit. Anyone steps out of line, and I ain't going to be slapping your wrists and tossing you in the brig

Moving slowly in to the room, Lys closed the door a little to hopefully prevent anyone from listening in if they wanted to. "Possibly. Maybe... i honestly don't know." With a huff of air the woman was plopping down in to a chair opposite of where the man was sitting at. It was all she could do to keep from grabbing a pen and scratching at her arm under the cast. "Wade and I took a trip to Kyoto a couple of days ago as you've probably noticed. We were... I don't know if attacked is the more proper than ambushed honestly."

The men had come out of no where taking out the one building she had called home for so many years and killed her mentor. Alyssa could already feel the anger bubbling up in her gut just speaking of it or talking about it. "There isn't really a good idea who they could be though they were quite organized. They knew exactly what they were doing and how many to have about for the two of us. I can't say that they were mafia. I just don't know, but... They knew, Jack. Somehow they knew."

Without even noticing her eyes started to swirl. Her temper was hard to flair but these men had made themselves one enemy that they were going to regret having. If Alyssa had to she'd take them all down one at a time. "I'd like permission to go back and see what I can find out." And to take out some of the grudge on them was the unspoken half of the statement.

Jack nodded, listening and not saying a word as Alyssa told him what had happened. He had known the two were gone, but had foolishly assumed the mercenaries would be able to take care of themselves. Internally, he blamed himself for this mess. He was seething with barely contained rage. There was no way in hell he would just let this matter lie.

"I'll see what I can find out. You and the merc aren't the only ones who have old ties here." Jack had done more than his fair share of hunts in Japan, and still knew a few contacts from the old days. Maybe one of them would know something about these mysterious attackers.

"That's a negative, Foxfire." Hopefully the address of Lyssa by her codename would grab her attention. "If they attacked you once, they're going to be hoping you come back. Your personal stake in this will cloud your judgement. I'll send someone else to check it out." For a moment his harsh features softened up. "Besides, you're injured. Just try to rest and heal up."

"My injuries have nothing to do with this, sir. Give me another day or two and they will hardly be worth nothing." While Lyssa wasn't as fast a healer as Logan or even Creed, what she had was worth a little something though. She'd learned long ago to ignore the pain for the greater good of missions or assignments. This was just another one of those days. "Besides... the funeral will be in a couple of days once the local medical examiner releases the body. I feel that I should be there for that. I owe him that much at least."

Her instructor had been a mentor and the closest thing to a grandfather that she had. Not to mention a chance to go sift through the rubble and see if she could find any thing. The old man had no one else that she could ever recall aside from herself. At least none that he had ever mentioned before. "Please."

"You don't heal as fast a feral. They could incapacitate you easily, and I'm not ending up with a team member hostage." Jack wasn't risking Alyssa being captured. He'd never her see her again, minus the body parts they sent him back. At the end of the day, he was much more concerned about the safety of his squad then hurting Alyssa's feelings by not letting her go.

But still, if she was that determined, he'd rather it be done properly, so at least his mind could rest easier. "If you really want to go, find yourself two capable mutants who can escort you, then report back to me. Are we clear? Because if I find out you skipped out and on your own, I swear, the Yakuza will be the least of your worries." He shot her a warning glare.

Alyssa couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was twenty-seven. Not two. Jack wanted her to have babysitters just to go back to a funeral? The expression that was soon crossing the woman's face was none to pleased as she watched her team leader. Did he honestly think that was gonna settle good with her at all? She'd managed to take care of herself for the majority of her life but this... this was unacceptable.

"Okay first off- it's kinda impossible for me to try sneaking out of here without going through the front gate. Second- what the hell? I don't need babysitters." What she did need, however, was a chance to get the tension and anger out of her. Going to the funeral and then whatever else after would be perfect for her to get the job done.

Jack had been expecting resistance, but Alyssa was sorely beginning to test his patience. She was acting rather like a whiny, spoiled child, and the hunter was not having it. It wasn't as if he was expecting her to wear a GPS collar and report in every hour. Although now that he thought of it, those weren't bad ideas.

"I don't give a shit. That's my final offer, and if you don't like it, I'll clock you over the head and dump your sorry ass in the brig." The words were harsh and biting, but he was also deadly serious.
