Making sure to be just as infuriating to the towering giant as he could. After all, anger makes people do stupid things. "Oh, I'm Nate, been floating around for here for about a day. Cool place gotta say." He commented still limping along. "How bout you? You been here long? I mean I imagine so, tall dark and loud over there seemed to at least have something akin to respect for ya." He commented offhandedly, the wire in his hand being turned and knotted this way and that, the sound of glass beads clinking loudly against one another in his pocket, almost irritating in their volume.

She glanced over her shoulder, looking to Jack with obvious panic on her face. She had just won a match... and suddenly, she was worse than before. She didn't have a clue what to do.

"Are you okay?" There was obvious concern in his voice, his brown eyes trained intensely on the hulking individual standing before the Director he'd been speaking too only a few moments before.

"Wouldn't trust the words of a guy who'd separate an old man and his walking stick if I were you." He called out to Jack, turning his attention towards Lars specifically.

Evie he recognized, the other guy he didn't, and the interlopers were obviously folks he had never seen before. If just for Evie's sake (and his desire for comic-style heroism), Josh steeled himself to follow Evie in her leading this... thing... off to Director Makalia, where he made like a good boy and remained silent.

His kids didn't trust this, he'd keep that in mind. He looks up towards the sky, frowning thoughtfully. "What offer?"

Lars seemed focused on the Director, which meant she had to take care of the other agents. Leading Nate over to Josh so the three of them could be standing near each other, she reached out to take Josh's hand, hoping to comfort him. "Be ready," she whispered, turning to look at Hursley.

They get what they want, ain't gonna be room for anyone like us to do business, and some of us have enough beef with 'em already. Right Hursley?" Hursley just nods. He looks ready to step in if anything gets out of hand, and as Evie turns to look at him, he stares her down. Not getting a verbal response, Lars seems to shrug and go back to what he was saying. "So, we're sending our guys off to war too. Y'all don't interfere with our activities any more, and in return you get our help fighting them. Boss kind of wants either the old man or the stretchy kid back, but you know, I'm willing to take or leave that." Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Jack looks down at Lars, face still tilted upwards. "You experiment on prisoners, threaten others to cooperate by targeting families, you terrorize my agents here, and you're hoping for one of Paradigm's prisoners to be given to you. Yet somehow, you think you're better than the Empire." He tilts his head a little. "And you think we want your help?"

Josh whispered back, though his eyes remained transfixed at Lars and the person with him. His hand gave a little bit of a squeeze; was Evie holding it? That was nice of her. He wondered who was scared more, but his money was on himself. Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

He wasn't nearly as scary as his Beast monster friend, and nowhere near as bad as Mathew Amtrum. Just because it's Evie... She offered Hursley a dazzling smile, even if it was the farthest thing from genuine she had ever done. "If these guys get violent, go after that guy, okay?" She whispered back, too low to be overheard by anyone other than the boys beside her. "I'll go after the Lars guy with Jack."

I don't need help from people who torture for fun." Jack doesn't smile back. "You have a nice trick with the darkness. We have a kid here who does something of the same thing. But the good thing about that darkness is it's made it a lot easier for me to prepare this." Jack points up at the sky with one hand. Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

For a cause, Sparks. Just like you've got one, we've got one, and right now they align." The mention of darkness seems to make Lars much more serious, for a moment. The grin disappears, and his expression, as much as such things can be read on his "mask", seems like he recognises that power. At the raising of Jack's hand, Lars' soldiers raise their rifles at Evie, Josh, and Nate, and Hursley takes a few long steps towards the redhead. Even though he doesn't say anything, Lars shakes his head as if to make the implied threat more apparent. "Down, boy. If I were here for a fight your pretty little school'd be burnt to the ground right now, and your little brat students would be lunch." The darkness covering him roils and twists and shapes begin to form in the haze. "So settle on down and think about what you're spitting on here."

Lars might recognize the power, but apparently he hasn't remembered the strength of that power. Three massive bolts of lightning split the sky apart, one encompassing every single soldier and their wonderful metal equipment, another reserved for Hursley as he takes his third step, and the third slamming into Lars, straight into the latter two's skulls. If this was fifteen years ago, Jack would've only been able to hit one target, and not have much say as to how much strength came from each one. Now... well, not even John would've gotten up from one of these, given the amount of preparation Jack had put into this attack.

Yeah, the moment those bad boys were raised, Josh crossed his arms in front of him, raising a shield in front of himself, Evie and Nate. No way was he going to be the patsy in a Mexican standoff. Right around that same time, lightning decided to tear through everything and wreck the soldiers. Was... this the power of the director!?

"Holy... Are you serious right now..?" He asked in outright awe. "You can do tha..." Nate's voice sounded just like that of a child in awe.

It took her a second to recognize it as Jack, but after a second, she began to relax. Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

His men are fallen on the ground, most likely gone. Hard to tell with the full armour, but by the melted patches and the fact Hursley hasn't gotten back up, it's easy to guess. Jack heard Lars cry out, and his shadowy covering blow apart, and now a large man with sandy blond hair is at the Director's feet. He seems less charred than Hursley, as if the roiling mass protected him from most of the blast, but he hasn't moved yet. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

On the one hand, this was exactly what he told his agents not to do. Executing prisoners was a terrible crime, something he preached against time and time again. To do it right now, in front of his junior agents, would be setting a terrible example. But on the other hand, he called him Sparky. Jack fires again.
