Marcus looked over Count for a moment before saying,"As you can see, I have a steel fur coat. I also have metallic wings that sprout from my back, but its too painful to do often. Healing and animal transformations are my other powers. I cant transform as quickly as I would like, due to the pain of my bone and organs shifting places and my muscles deforming then reforming. I also have enhanced senses from my current and animal form."
Marcus thought about the similarities between this man and his target."Can't stay dead, huh?" Marcus said with a dark grin.

(Count nodded in a approving manner. He had worked with hundreds of mutants, and he was rarely impressed by their powers. This one however was different. He could already tell that he would be a worthy addition to the organization. Count walked around his desk and took back his seat. He looked away from Marcus, but he continued to talk directly to him.)
Count: Before I allow you to use our archives, I want to ask you some thing. What motivates you to take a life?
(He now looked directly at Marcus's eyes. This was a test that he, and other Sovereign leaders would always used on new members. Not necessarily the question, but the returning look. He had never seen this man in battle, but he would soon know how powerful he was. Count believed the strength of one man's soul was determined by the power of one's eyes.)

Marcus' animal instincts took over. His eyes locked with Count's.
"Motives?... Money. Food. Or whatever pleases me. We have both read Darwin. I'm just helping it along." Marcus voiced with a slight growl.
This was a test. He knew it. All of his instincts roared with the knowledge. His fur on his neck began to stand on edge. His eyes dilated slightly. Even his wings began to reform on his back. It hurt, but his glare just intensified.

(Count nodded as he looked at Marcus's monstrous expression. After a few moments he ended his stare. He looked away, but still continued to talk to him.)
Count: You have great power, but there is still room for improvement. You remind me of myself when I was your age. Take my advice young one. Don't let your powers take over you. It can result in things you might one day regret. You should go search up Keiy on the computer now.

"How did you know it was him? Has he gotten on your nerves as well?" Marcus said in a monotone voice.
"As for power... I have already died once. I don't think that it can't get any worse than finding out that everyone that you loved has died, and the person that you thought was your best friend was the cause of their deaths." Marcus' voice grew dark. " I swear on my mother's grave that I will be the one to kill him."
Marcus went over to the computer and typed in 'Keiy'. The screen went to S.H.E.I.L.D. and H.Y.D.R.A.
"S.H.E.I.L.D. huh? Lets see what you got."
The screen read Keiy's physical description, powers, and history with S.H.E.I.L.D. It ended with"ASSUMED K.I.A. NO BODY FOUND."

Count: No, I've never heard of this person before in my life. Every living being has their entire history written in their eyes. Keiy name came up. Since you've gone so far to find this person just to kill this person, I just assumed it was him. Try the Mutant Registration files.

Marcus opened the Mutant Registration page and scanned through it's results for 'Keiy', ignoring the "Did you mean:Key?"
"I hate those things..."Marcus said as he continued his search.
He finally found Keiy's file. It read:

"Yup. Thats him all right. Well now I know a place to start. Who knows... Maybe I will see him while I'm with you." Marcus said as he closed out the page and turned around.

(Count walked over to his computer and activated his communication link. A few seconds later, his computer connected to Winterfire's. Count turned his head toward Marcus.)
Count: I have to warn my daughter of the attack I told you earlier. You'll meet her and possibly work together in the future.

Marcus merely shrugged at the comment. "So what do we do in the mean time?"Marcus asked,"And do you have an armory that I can stop by for ammo before we leave? I'm kinda low."

(Count finished warning Sara. He walked over to his desk and pressed the button again. The computer deactivated and the wall closed keeping the computer concealed. He walked toward the door, stopped and waited for Marcus.)
Count: Follow me.

"Gladly... Where are we going?"Marcus said as he followed Count. "And how, if I may be so bold to ask, are going to get to the institute for the gifted?"

Count: We'll be taking my plane. If it was night time, we could telport to New York in an instant. However, being it noon, it would be a waste of time just waiting for evening.
(The two stopped at a door. Count slid a card on a keypad next to the door. He punched in the code and the door slid open. The two stepped inside and nothing but rows of weaponry. Everything from simple handguns and machine guns to RPGs. The room was filled with enough explosives to topple buildings. Count looked at Marcus from the corner of his eye.)
Count: Take only what you'll need.

Marcus let out a whistle.
"I think that a simple handgun and some clips will do." Marcus said as he picked out a pistol and some ammo.Marcus reached around as pulled out the revolver."And some a belt of ammo for this." He checked the hilt for the bullet size, then searched for the correct bullet size.
He picked out one of the bullets form the gun and compared it to the labeled bullet size. "Good, it fits."Marcus grabbed a bunch and put it into his inside leather pocket.
"Lets go."

(Count nodded as the two stepped out of the weapon storage. He closed the door and sealed it lock. He turned to Marcus and placed his hand on his shoulder.)
Count: This being your first time teleporting you might feel a little dizzy afterward.
(Instantly, the two telported through the shadows and were gone. Moments later they reappeared on the shadowy side of Count's plane. He removed his hand from Marcus's shoulder. He turned and began walking toward the stairs that lead to the inside of the plane. Psychonaut and Talia turned to see that Count had returned. The woman looked at Count then at Marcus then back to Count with an angry expression.)
Talia: What the hell is he still doing alive!!

Marcus looked at her and smiled.
"Why, I'm your new team mate."He mocked.
