Deviancy in The Plan
8/3/1936, Phaeder Residence, Kingdom of Lemuria
The scientist had sighed as he had entered and seen that there was his Three Year Old child that he had with Morga who had nodded towards him, “He was excited to see you.” She had said, the two of them having grown close since his imprisonment here and as he had went and mated with her, they had to be careful, these Deviants had no care for leadership, but they hated interspecies coupling even more so.
As Maelstrom had went and started to babble the way that children did, Phaeder had listened, his little hybrid was a great experiment, but he already had a mind that was quite useful and would be more so, at least that was his thought when there was a knocking, making Phaeder look towards the door and sighed before he had went and opened it up, “Yes–?” he had started to say before the door was thrown open.
Deviant Warriors had went and entered, glaring as they saw Morga and Maelstrom, “Seize them.” the lead who was wearing religious icons had said as Phaeder was held against the wall, not allowed to be move at all as they were taken away from their home, “What is going on–?!” Morga had screamed in panic as one that had the head of a squid and six legs went and gripped her throat.
“Can I kill her, Brother pain?” he had asked and hearing the one that had the items had nodded, “Make it hurt.” he had ordered, the fingers growing and becoming more like vines as he had crushed her throat, making Morga struggle and gasp, he had moved to help, but the one holding him had paralyzed Phaeder with his seven uneven eyes, making him watch as she had gasped in pain, looking at him pleadingly.
Maelstrom was crying outside and as he had heard that, Phaeder was glad that he was outside right now when the snap was heard, and with that, she had slumped, dead in his hand now before he had dropped her corpse, seeing that, they had went and started to drag the two boys away and as they had done as much, Phaeder had seen that it was time for them to leave this place now.

The two of them had been thrown before them, making Phaeder glare while Maelstrom was still crying, looking around for his deceased mother while the latest of their leaders, a Theocracy if his studies were correct, had spoken, “The impurity must be cleansed!” he had shouted out to them, “THE IMPURITY MUST BE CLEANSED!” the masses had shouted out to them.
“The Mother who had born such impurity has been cleansed! But The source of it and the impure must be dealt with!” he had shouted out, making the crowd cheer towards them as they had went to pull them apart, “Send the child to The Slave Pits!” he had ordered, “We will flay the impurity that we had allowed to live in our city for so long!” he had snapped to them.
Hearing that, Phaeder had sighed as he had pulled out a remote and a pistol, shooting at them, making the Deviants snarl and go to attack him when he had grabbed his son, dropping the gun and raising it up, “It was a pleasure, but it appears that we’ve overstayed our welcome.” he had said to them before they vanished from the area, leaving them behind in their confusion.

8/3/1936, Phaeder’s Laboratory, The Final Tomb
Phaeder and Maelstrom had appeared, the two of them feeling nauseous, so Phaeder had went to help his son hurl in the toilet that was there, the Tomb was used by their creators, a place where they stored the machines they had used to combat any rebels, now it was where he had hidden from Sterilon and other telepaths that were there and as he had looked, seeing everything there now.
“Where’s mama?” Maelstrom had asked, his purple haired child looking around in confusion for her, but Phaeder had another thought in mind, “It’s not the time to remember her.” he had said, “What it IS time for, is to find ways to punish the people responsible for her death.” he had said, making the boy confused, “How we do that?” The boy said, making Phaeder smile, “Here is how we do it…”

8/3/1936, Amakitsu Residence, Attilan
Kitsu had smiled as she saw that her daughter had went and walked in, looking tired and ragged as she had walked in, her hair was long with her bangs made into a bun right now, some wounds still recovering and as her unbuttoned jacket was thrown off and she had fallen onto a chair, “Hey mom–” she had started before her mother had went and hugged her tightly now.
“I’m so glad that you’re safe.” She had whispered, making Auran smile, “Course I am, I can’t die.” she had said to her, making Kitsu stroke her hair, “That doesn’t mean you can’t be hurt.” she had whispered, making Auran give a look, about to say something when she started to feel something wet on her face, that confused her, she had went to touch it and realized that they were tears.
That made the woman smile as she had looked to the door, “Please… come in.” she had said towards someone, making Auran look and see that there was Maximus who had smiled, “Auran.” he had said before taking a pill and putting it into his mouth, “It’s so goo–” he had started before Auran had gotten up and went and hugged him, her fur making it comfortable as he had returned the hug.
The two of them were there for a minute before there was a tapping, making the group all look towards the entrance as Kitsu had kneeled, “Prince Blackagar, it is a pleasure to see you.” she had told him, making Blakcagar smile as he had went and signed towards them, “<What happened down there?>” he had asked of Auran who had sighed, “Nothing I’d like to recall.” she had told them.
Hearing that, Blackagar had nodded as The Seeker of Attilan had went and entered as well, “Auran Amakitsu.” he had said towards her, “My King would like to thank you for your time serving in The Sub–City and would like to offer you the position of Scout.” he had said, making them all look towards him with surprise, “I just got home–” “And The King thinks that you deserve fresh air and new scenery.” he said.
That had made Maximus about to speak up, Kitsu angry as well, Blackagar did not like it as well but remained impassive, “It would be an honor.” she had told the Seeker, surprising them, “So long as I can become the personal guard of the Princes afterwards.” she had said, making Kadlec smile at that, “I believe that can be arranged.” he said before walking out and away from them.
“Why would you–?!” “Because one, it was obviously mandatory,” she had said, “And two, if he can hold up his end, I’ll get to be stuck with you from now on.” she had said with a smile, but he didn’t like that, Maximus didn’t like that at all as his hand started to shake in his fist now, making the girl grin, “Come on… if Dkamas couldn’t kill me, what makes you think that Humans can deal with me?”

8/4/1936, The Western Beach, Attilan
Maximus was sitting on the sand, Triton was coming up right now and as he had done so, The Prince had looked towards his cousin who had just shaken off the latest bit of seaweed that was there before sitting down, “What do you think will happen?” he had asked, making Triton sigh, “They’ll probably leave her in a populated region… probably the America center of government.” he had said towards him.
That had made Maximus sigh at that as he had went and taken another, “She’s tough…” Triton had told him, “I’m more worried about the humans there.” he said, trying to give a little levity towards them all and as they had looked out towards the direction that the boat had taken, “Yeah… after all, it’ll just be a couple of years, right?” he had asked, “I mean how much trouble could she get into in five years?”

Auran was throwing up as she had been on the beach, she was feeling so sick now, the atmosphere, the pollution, it was disgusting! It made her want to cry at how horrible it was before she had went and looked to the boat, the pilot there was wearing a mask and waved, “Have fun!” they had said before going and starting up the boat and leaving her there all alone now.
Seeing that, Auran had tried to stop herself, the vomit was a issue, but not something that she needed to worry about too badly as Auran had went and looked at everything that was in the knapsack, there was a thousand of this countries currency, a few blades, a pistol with a box of their projectiles, and a second set of the same clothes that she was currently wearing.
It was a white button down shirt with black pants and suspenders, her leather shoes and a cap making her seem more like a boy as Auran had went and checked the map that had been provided, it was directions from this location to a Washington DC where her handler was, after that, they were going to send her here, seeing it, she had went and pulled out the photo case Kitsu gave her.
It was an image of her mother there which had made her smile with the pictures of her father that she had taken and as she had went and put them back into her pocket, Auran had wondered if he was still alive, all she had was a face, and nobody ever told her a name, she had to steal that info, any other details were lost, taking a breath, she had went and started walking, deciding to focus on the mission for now.

8/12/1936, Smith Residence, Washington DC
Auran had walked through, taking a breath as she had went and knocked on the door, making it open up as and see her, “What was the Prince’s first word?” he had asked of her, “A wail that destroyed the old world.” she had said to him, making the fellow Inhuman nod as he had went and looked at her, “You're the new Scout?” he had asked of her, making Auran nod as she had sat on a seat.
“Yes, King Monarch had sent me here.” she had said, making the handler snort, “‘King Monarch’.” he had mocked, “I was here back when it was the reign of King Agon.” he had said, sitting across from her, “So things have probably changed since then.” he said, making Auran sigh, “Well for starters, there’s a Jurat in The Sub–City now, like a sheriff.” she had said, making The Handler scoff.
“And why would they need that?” he had asked, “Because the new policies of the King have made the Alpha primitives live under are too much, they’re trying to kill any Inhuman they can, even the Jurat,” Auran said, “They tried hanging them, crucifying them, burning them, but eventually they just quit.” she had said, making the Scout wonder who was that tough while she had pulled out her photographs.
“Well anyways, here’s your assignment.” he had said, handing her a manilla folder so she had put the photos down, “It’s a nice little series of islands that you’ll be flying to, your cover is a nurse–” he had started to say before noticing the photographs, so he had picked it up, “Hey–!” “Why do you have a photograph of John Howlett?” he had asked, making Auran look up.
“You were there when he came to Attilan?” she had asked, making him even more confused, “What are you talking about? He’s a Canadian who does business in America, mostly deals in Copper and textiles from Asia.” he had said, making Auran look to him, “Are you serious? He’s still alive?” she had asked and hearing that, The Handler sighed as he had went and pulled out a newspaper.
“Here.” he had said, tossing it to her, making Auran catch the primitive form of communication before seeing that there was a picture of John Howlett Jr. looking identical except for the suit that he had worn, he had seemed more like a tree which had made the Inhuman think that it was interesting before she had realized that there was a location on it which made her think–
“You can do that on your own time.” The Inhuman snarled to the girl, making Auran sigh at that as she had went and stood up, “Can I at least wear clothes today.” she had told him and hearing that, The Scout had tossed her some spending money, “Get some more… demure clothing.” he had told her, making Auran take a breath as she had went and left to do as much.

8/12/1936, Oahu, Hawaii
Auran had gotten off of the bus that was there and as she had done as much, the Inhuman had looked around before eventually deciding to go and head towards the building there, making Auran take a breath before she entered the location, ringing the bell as she had looked around at everything that was there when the receptionist there had approached, “Can I help you, miss?” she had asked.
Hearing that, Auran had remembered what she had been told before grinning, “Hello there, my name is Auran Wolfe, I was told that there was a lodging for me here?” she had asked her, making the older woman give her the once over, “This place is for–” “Nurses for the army, yes.” she had said, making the older woman give her a once over before smiling, “Hope you enjoy your time here.” she told Auran.

8/12/1936, The Royal Palace, Attilan
Maximus had been depressed, Karnak and Minxi were watching him as he had middled with what looked to be a bomb, “Is that a bomb?” Minxi had asked of him, making Maximus nod towards them, “Are you going to set it off?” Karnak said, making Maximus nod at that as he had went and started to prime it, making them worried as Lockjaw had teleported in, growling at the explosive.
He had went and taken the bomb before he had went and teleported away, making them all look at each other before there was an explosive in the arena, making the group look as Crystal had ran in, “Please tell me he didn’t make another? That was the third one today!” she had said, making Minxi and Karnak look towards Maximus now while Maximus had went for some new schematics.
“Why are we not taking away his tools?” Karnak had asked, making the princess sigh, “Because otherwise he would start using his ability, and you knowhow dangerous that can be.” Crystal had said, “Let this one go off.” he had muttered, Minxi nodding while Crystal and Karnak had tried to resist it, making him smile towards them when there was a knocking, making Maximus turn towards the door.
From it, they had seen that there was Blackagar who was glaring, “<Stop it.>” he had told his brother, making him sigh before he had went back to tinkering, “<Monarch wants us to ride out, accompany him like usual.>” he had said, making the other one nod at that, “<And he wants Crystal to join The Kennel.>” he told them, making Karnak and Crystal look in confusion.
“She’s the only one besides Blackagar that Lockjaw listens to.” Karnak had explained, making them nod at that, “Okay, more time with Lockjaw, that’s good.” she had said, trying to cheer up at the order as Maximus got up, still tinkering and making the explosive when he had seen that there was his brother, stopping him from walking, “What?” he had asked him.
“<Auran wouldn’t want you to blow up Attilan.>” he had said, making Maximus pause at that, making the two of them look at each other before they had went and started to walk now, the two of them walking towards the exit while the others had started to get worried at how Maximus was getting right now as the two of them started to prepare for the latest procession.

8/12/1936, The Old City, Attilan
Monarch had been leading the two of them on one of the horses that The Scouts from Europe had purchased, Maximus and Blackagar close behind him as they had went and walked, Monarch waving to his people as Blackagar had looked to the others that were there, looking around before he had seen that Maximus was giving a smile, plastering a fake smile on to the populace.
Seeing that, Blackagar had raised an eyebrow towards them and as he had done so, Maximus had looked and then spoken, “Might as well play the part.” he had whispered and hearing that, the prince had just waved, looking at them with a stone face before Monarch had looked towards them, “Just smile and wave, Princes, smile and wave.” he told them as they continued onwards

8/12/1936, Phaeder’s Laboratory, The Final Tomb
Phaeder was working on his research, seeing everything that was there before he had noticed that there was a predator in there, making the scientist look towards it as the worm had started to circle his son like a snake, hissing towards him, “Alveus.” he had said, making animal/Inhuman look towards him, “How?” the creature had asked, making the scientist sigh at that.
“The Deviants remember you.” Phaeder had said, revealing a few scrolls that had been written by the creatures in their scripture before Alveus had went and sighed, “I knew I should have tried to convert them.” he had said, making Phaeder think on that before he had went and spoken again, “Maximus had been under my thumb, but then that little pest–” “Why worm talking?” Maelstrom had asked.
Phaeder had looked towards his son who was looking between the two of them with curiosity, “Because he’s like me, and you.” Phaeder had told him, making Maelstrom look in confusion, “Really?” she had asked and hearing that, the worm had looked towards him, “Yeeesss.” he had told the child, “My name is Alveus, and I am a friend of your papa.” he had told Maelstrom.
That had made him smile, going to hug him, but Alveus had slithered away, “I’ll come back later, enjoy yourselves.” he had said and hearing that, Phaeder had glared towards the creature before he had looked towards his son, “Well then, Maelstrom, it’s time to start your tutelage.” he had said, making the little boy smile at it all as Phaeder saw a future assistant before him.

12/24/1936, Smith’s Union Bar, Honolulu
“Do I seriously have to come to this function?” Auran had asked of her friends, Katherine and Poppy, “How have you never heard of Christmas before? Are you Jewish?” Kathy had asked, making Auran look confused, “No… my family just never really celebrated Christmas.” she had told them, shedding her coat and putting it on the rack like the others there as they had seen everything there.
There were so many and all of them were so happy and cheery as they had went and started to enjoy themselves right now as the trio had entered, “You know Auran, when you popped in a couple months ago, I thought that you were a Jerry for a while.” Poppy had said and that had made Auran not happy at all hearing that, “But then I found out that you were just a kooky gal that can nurse like an angel.” she said.
Kathy nodding at that as she had went and gotten the attention of the bartender, “Yeah, it’s like you know how it feels with everything you treat!” she had told her, making Auran shrug as Kathy had went and handed her the glass, making the others all start to smile at each other before there was a tapping on Auran’s shoulder, making her turn towards the sailor who was there had went and kissed her.
That had made Auran react on impulse, going and punching him in the face, knocking him down on the ground and making his fellow sailors laugh before they exchanged money, “I told you that she’d punch him!” one of them said as Kathy and Poppy got her away from them, “Seriously? What, have you already got a beau?” Poppy had asked of her, annoying Auran, “I do.” she said.
That had made the two pause in shock, “WHAT?” Pappy and Kathy went with a wicked smile before Auran had went and walked away, making the two of them go to either side and had went and started to talk to each other on what was going on before they had realized that there was a problem now, something that had made Auran smile as she had decided to enjoy this time for now.
