The warehouse was fairly sparse with a few computers some extra monitors and a sleeping quarters. "the fold is my ever changing group of subordinates none have made it into the sleeve as of yet except for this girl." Haka said as he patted her head.
"Right. So. Does joining your group mean sacrificing my own free will?" He asked now uncertain again. This kid was definitely a novice.
"For normal people yes. Starting out you have no will just the orders and my wishes but as you can see with little miss joker here get into the sleeve and you keep your personality and even get powers or get stronger however you become completely loyal to me."
"Can I do the loyalty bit without the whole... Forced loyalty?" He asked.
Haka stared at him for a minute before getting an idea "ok but on one condition you agree to make a deal with me once the condition being if you betray me or hurt one of my sleeves without reason your memories of the event are taken."
"Deal." He said.
Haka smiled "not quite give me a minute. " Haka went outside and quickly founda crowded area. He counted and found there were 24 people around just enough for what he wanted. With his focus enhanced he quickly held his hands up and threw 21 cards the last one landing on some hipster looking guy then Haka said "blackjack."
"Uh..." Yu looked very uncertain now. "Was that.... Necessary?" He asked. "That was... Okay." What did I just agree too?
(He should've only seen haka leave and then come back and do something wild lol just to clarify) Haka nodded and the spirit nodded before disappearing but for a moment both of them could feel the chains before it became impossible to notice. "I like you kid but as I'm sure you've noticed I have an issue of trust. This is the best option for you because of the conditions you'll only forget about me as opposed to me having to wipe large chunks of memory should you betray me." Haka looked at him with lil joker back on his lap hoping Yu would be able to tell he got a much better deal than others would've.
"Well. You seem alright." Yu said. "Wait what time is it right now?" He asked.
"How many hours you want to spend here?"
"You can try so that you can fail." Aurora said. She laughs and floats away.
"About 6 pm." Haka said as he looked at a monitor that showed the time. He raised an eyebrow to see if the kid needed a way to get back.
"Oh okay. I got some more time." He said.
"Yeah so far." Maddy nods
"I don't like it." Medic said. "It's manipulative""She wants my help. I'm going to try to help if it means she will at least spend time with me" she saidThe Wordsmith Myth
"It's not like I haven't done things like this to her in the past." She said. "Is there a reason you stopped by or are you just checking on me?"
"Yes." He said. "Remember. We have a psyche evaluation?"
"Can we reschedule that for tomorrow? I need to go" she asked
"Very well.' he said. "But remember this is important for making sure you don't go off the deep end. So we can't put it off forever."
"Medic I haven't done anything bad in months " she said.
"I know." He said. "But regular psychiatric visits and evaluations are not just for the insane. Everyone needs to talk once in a while." He said. "I'm not accusing you of anything Eve. I promise."
"I know and I'm fine, my friend. I just really want to get this done so I can at least try to talk with Maddy" she heads for the door, texting her daughter she was on the way there.
"Of course,: He said. "I will see you tomorrow then." He walked off with a yawn and was suddenly pulled into a shadow. Spider-Venom looked down at him. "Will you really? I don't think you will." He said.
