Under the Sea (Closed, See V2!)

((Next time I go poof, I give you all permission to spam my inbox and poke me with virtual sticks until I respond. I cannot tell you how many times I have sat down to write, only to get distracted by something on the interwebs. -_- Sorry guys! If I had waited much longer the wishkeeper probably would have eaten Aurora and Celine))

Aurora felt Celine place her hand on her shoulder, and with the small contact and equally small smile, a tad of Aurora's tension seemed to slip out into the waters around them. Her shoulders relaxed, and she found herself ever so hopeful as Celine implored the massive sea serpent for his help. She kept her eyes on Celine, choosing to focus on her companion rather than the terrifying beast in front of them both, however, she did keep an eye on the wish-keeper in her peripheral vision.
But, when Celine promised her own life in return for his help, Aurora felt as though a rope had suddenly started strangling her heart. She couldn't let the atlantian take the fall for something she had caused- Celine wouldn't even have been here if it weren't for Aurora. Just like Neron. But just as he was about to intervene and offer her own life debt instead of Celine's, the massive beast spoke up, his voice rumbling through the cave. For a moment, Aurora could only stare at the scale presented to them, it was about the size of her palm, and a deep blue that seemed to shimmer with the mysteriousness of an abyss. However much she wished she could have just confidently swam up and accepted the scale, she couldn't, and after a moment's hesitation she swam back next to Celine, giving the atlantian a small smile that didn't quite reach her eyes, and took the offered scale.
"My mistake caused this- so the burden of the debt should be mine..."She murmured to the Atlantian, and as soon as she took the scale from the serpent's tail, his voice rumbled again, in warning this time. Aurora's face paled, and she glanced quickly at Celine before reaching out for the atlantian and grabbing her hand, intent on dragging the both of them out of that dreaded cave- and most importantly, away from the terrifying maw of the wishkeeper.

"Of course it does dear," the scientist cooed, "Afterall you did slam yourself into an automobile at great speed." Nichole Knight finally reached the small clinic, opened the door, and ushered Midge inside. Walking to the closet at the back of the small room, she called to the siren, "Why don't you sit down dear while I find something to help your wing." She then proceeded to jumble through various bandages and gauzes in the closet.

Rose shook her head, "Not really, I mean a little peculiar I guess, but not exactly not-normal... I think," she replied stumbling over her words. "Though," she said with some hesitation, "I do have the biggest urge to-" Rose stopped herself. This was just all too weird for her. The girl's head seemed to spin as she went past Gene and Paul, leaving the room and dashing with great speed down the hall.

The Wish Keeper~''THREE!''he roared , using his tail to block the exit in front of him, while him, himself blocked the exit behind him.''going so soon?''he asked before rearing his head back before striking at him, jaws stretched wide.if he could not catch them though, he would follow them to this half-serphent and eat the scientist instead if he could.

Hamilton was standing on the deck of the boat, holding his phone to his ear, and tapping his foot angrily. He had just returned from the captain's quarters and received an update on their progress, and Dr. Night still hadn't picked up her phone. His eyes were narrowed, their icy blue irises flashing dangerously, warding off any crew who may have tried to approach him. When the call went to voice mail for the fifth time, Hamilton neerely growled at the phone. Instead, he decided to leave a message, though he was loathe to do so.
"Dr. Knight- this is Dr. Hamilton. I have received your request, and I am making my way towards your research center- and I would appreciate it if you would pick up your phone. I have a matter of delicacy I wish to talk to you about...before we arrive." His voice was curt and to the point, and he no loner attempted to give any semblance of politeness or warmth. He ended the call swiftly, and slipped the phone back into his pocket. He stood on the deck for a moment or two, arms crossed, and starring out at the ocean, attempting to collect his emotions. But, a massive cry of rage shook the floorboards under his feet, and he watched as many crew members dropped what they were doing and looked at each other in fear. It was only as Hamilton started to stalk back towards his quarters, giving menacing glares to the crew he saw, that they returned to work.

He walked down to the lower level of the ship, and entered his room, and was greeted by the sight of a seething beast. He raised an eyebrow and walked to the tank. "You called Beast?"

((Hamilton will get Slade's calls in a bit; and I'm gonna wait for Celine to respond to the Wishkeeper))

((Sorry for the double post!))

Name: Adam Hanson
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 32
Appearance: Adam is 6'4", and he has a large build. His athletic form is usually covered in meticulously neat, black suits, topped off with a regulation tie. He usually wears straight legged pants, on and off the job that hide the signs of his fake left leg. Very rarely will you see him wearing shorts. His sheer height, along with is muscular physique could give him an intimidating presence- and he is, when he wants to be. However, Adam is very aware that he can intimidate people, and he usually tries to give off a friendlier vibe when he's off the job. He has short, honey-brown hair that gets wavy if grown long enough, and warm brown eyes that show obvious signs of smiling a lot. He has a strong, chiseled square jaw, and his nose looks as if it has been broken in the past.

Personality: Adam has a soft spot for the underdogs, and there is always a part of his mind that is constantly on the lookout for the downtrodden. He doesn't tolerate lies, or attempts to cover up the truth, and while he sees that his country isn't perfect, he refuses to do anything that may deviate from the written law. However, this does not mean that he won't help people in trouble with the law. In fact, Adam will go out of his way to help anyone in sincere need, and he uses all of the correct legal channels to do so. When he isn't on the job, Adam can usually be found in the gym, keeping in shape and practicing running with his prosthetic leg. But don't be fooled by his missing leg, through rigorous rehab and constant exersize, he has managed to gain back nearly 90% of his speed and agility. He is quite a bit faster than the norm, but he wouldn't be able to outrun anyone with serious training. He has little time to develop real hobbies, since he has dedicated his life to his job. He isn't opposed to finding a life outside of his job, it's just never been a problem before. He is fiercely protective of his comrades, coworkers, and loved ones.

History: Adam doesn't talk about his childhood much. He spent some time in the foster system, after his father was declared an unfit parent. But, unlike most kids, he did find a true home, and was adopted by an older couple in his early teens. He spent a lot of his time making sure that none of the kids in his small neighbor hood experienced any sort of the treatment he had when with his single father or in the foster system, and grew up to be sort of the town hero. After high school, he joined the military, becoming one of the premiere Navy seals, until he suffered a leg injury- which resulted in an artificial leg below the knee. He was no longer able to fight in combat, and so he changed careers, choosing to protect his country in the FBI instead. He still walks with a slight limp, but when he isn't running, it's hardly noticeable.
Boy/Girlfriend? nope. Adam is a Workaholic, and doesn't believe he has time for a relationship.
Anything else?

Celine sighed in relief as Aurora retrieved the scale. Success. It may not have been as many as she had hoped but... they would have to make do.
The scale was beautiful and her gaze was captivated by it. It's dark blue was enchanting, reminding her of the deep ocean waters where sun just barely glimmered through. When Aurora returned to Celine's side she said something about the debt though Celine could not clearly hear. She just smiled, allowing the siren to gently lead her away. The serpent's voice trailed behind them until suddenly his tail slammed down before them. Celine shrieked.
Her eyes widened as the Wish Keeper attacked. "Hey! WE WERE GOING YOU LOUSY SNAKE!" she yelled, grabbing Aurora's arm and pulling her behind a rock pillar.

Aurora had nearly frozen when Celine pulled her behind the pillar. Her mind was whirling, and her muscles were starting to tense up from panic. Her mind flew back to that time not so long ago- when she had frozen in the water by that diver, and Neron had saved her...Neron. And an awful thought came. Was it really her fault...all the way from the beginning? Did by some freak chance, did that diver get footage of them? Is that how Neron was captured? He heart nearly stopped just thinking about it. But before it could, anger welled inside of the siren's breast. She would not. do this. again. She was a siren. She had enchanted many with her voice, and escaped far dire situations....well, maybe this was the words...but she wasn't about to let another wave of fear stop her from helping. She would not have another friend's life on her hands. Frantically, she turned to Celine, and lowered her voice until it was just barely a whisper in the water. "Plug your ears!" And then, she closed her eyes briefly, and took a deep breath. Now or never. With as much calm as she could muster, Aurora let the first shaky notes escape past her trembling lips, the notes wavering at first, but slowly growing stronger. She pictured rolling waves, and moonlight dancing on the water. She pictured every single calming thing she could, and imbued the peace of sleep into her enchanting song. A lullaby wove its way through the water, weaving a nearly impenetrable spell of sleep. It took all of her concentration to keep the emotion in it, to keep it's sleepy magic when her heart was still bursting at the seems with anger and fright, but she managed to do it. It was a long shot, Aurora knew- she had no idea how effective her song would be, if at all, on the great serpent- but this last, desperate attempt was all she had. Maybe if Neron was here... For a moment, her concentration slipped, and a note, just a half step off, escaped, but within no time, She regained control. But she held Neron in her mind- the feeling of his calming, steady presence giving her new strength. And as she focused on him, her song gained new clarity, and carried her own mind to a future...a future with Neron. A happy one, a dream... Aurora wasn't sleeping, her song not holding the same temptation it would for others. But for a moment, it gave her a perfect dream- an image of a future so bright, it nearly terrified her...a future filled with lullabies and Neron.
