Biting his lip, Nick turned his head aside. "I can't promise anything, Angel. I'm not an honest man. I've done nothing ethical in my life. I don't foresee it changing any part. Don't you think I earned this power for a reason? Don't you think we were all given our powers for a reason? If that's the case, then I'm cursed with darkness. I... I even know why. Vengeance. Vengeance fills my life, ice is in my soul, and darkness lingers in my heart." His eyes drifted back over to Kyna and her Unai hounds.

Talking to himself, Nick wondered if the Unai would have any interest in meeting a Dae'Ninjackle. Nick, even though he forbid it, knew that his beloved Zero would be somewhere out of sight. Raising his fingers to his lips, he let out a high-pitched whistle that was out of a human's hearing range. But sure enough a large black and red wolf-like demon dog came panting out of nowhere.

"You really do like to disobey orders, don't you?"

His eyes jumped over to Kyna, but he realized it was too late. Kyna and Faline had already left. Perhaps, Nick thought, he was a little too caught up in the romance between he and Light. But with Zero already visible, he saw no point in sending the ride-able dog away.

Just as he was about to speak to the daemon-hound, Nick realized Zero had vanished. Without thinking, Nick's feet rose from his spot and his eyes went wide with wonder. Where would a slightly over-sized dog go?

"Oh Zero, you're just as bad as me,"he muttered when he saw his companion sniffing Rory's behind. "Okay... minus the ass kissing part." A light hearted laugh followed his little side comment.

Recalling that he and Kris were having a serious conversation, the male's attention drifted back to her. "Heh. I guess we should get going." Rather than waiting for her, Nick walked off nonchalantly on his own. Once he was in ear-shot of the other heroes, he opened his mouth.

"So we have to babysit Rory? It's a good thing she's cute... too bad I'm not an Unai." Winking at the Unai, Nick scooped down some to ruffle her fur. "You're a beautiful specimen. Your built is fantastic. Your bones are a bit on the slender side, but it gives you a very sleek and sheik look. You, my friend, must dazzle all the other dogs."

Yes, talking to a Unai was a bit odd, but at this point Nick figured the others were fed up with him. So instead of adding fuel to the fire, Nick opted for talking to Zero and Rory.

Suddenly, his knees bent up to his chest. Crouching close enough that only the hounds could hear, Nick whispered in Rory's ear. "Tell your master that I won't let anything happen to you. I might not be the most trustworthy, but I've always had a soft spot for hounds." Stroking her fur again, Nick tossed a small treat her way. When Zero barked out of jealously, Nick laughed. "Ladies first, mister! You know that." Flicking a piece of raw meat Zero's way, the red-eyed male could hear his noisy partner suck and chomp on the meat.

A small sigh followed when Nicholas rose back up to his normal height. "Hiro-kun," Nick hastened his steps so he could be level with the jeweled male. "I'm sorry for causing such a fuss before. I had no intention of starting shit. I... well, trouble and I just seem to fall into the hands of the... unlucky."

While talking to Hiro, Nick's keen eyes were analyzing the rest of the group. Kris had finally joined them, but she was bringing up the rear. This Liza girl seemed interesting, he thought.

"Hello," said Nick hiding behind a charming grin. "And who might you be, honey?"

Seriously, Nick just couldn't help himself. Flirting was an essential part of his hard-wiring. However, if one were wise, that is, one would assume that there was a real motive behind his flirtatious lifestyle. After all, he is Dark. Shouldn't he have a hidden agenda? Now what that agenda was and getting him to spill his lips would be an entirely different story. With an endless chain of lies at his command, Nick could very well be lying about everything - his powers, his name, and maybe even his sexual preference. Hell, for all they knew he was an undercover la'Ronk assassin. With that being said, it was possible that all the people before him were undercover or pseudo-heroes.

Eyes narrowing, Nick knew he would have to keep his guard up. Only the Truth Orbs would prove their true identity.

Thinking of the Truth Orbs, Nick Fusion had a question pop into his head. "So, not to rain on anyone's parade. But, what the hell are we doing? Where are we going? We really need to have a plan before we just walk off into the unknown. Let's pick a destination and get there. No plan is just another way of saying death. So let's not rush to our graves, okay?"
