While everyone else did what they were doing Nick went ahead and started to make his so called mud. After that he started looking through the cabinets for something to eat. There wasn't much to choose from so he grabbed bread and P.B... A peanut butter sandwich for dinner, good enough, not like there was anything else good to eat. "Anybody want one?"
Julia raised her hand just a little "Double shot of everything." and then looked at the others before scratching her head sheepishly "Unless... I should wait until after the tests." And she knew they would be needed to be ran; blood tests, brain wave patterns, dental... it would be a few hours of being a live guinea pig and test sample so that the actual medical proof could be gained that she was, in fact, Julia Walker.  And to be honest, she really didn't care what they had to do now... because Nick had been able to tell without the test results.  She'd put up with the hours-long tests without a qualm.  Her stomach on the other hand...
 
She looked at Alex and smiled assuringly at her.  They would definately have time during the tests to do some talking and she was pretty sure the reason her friend hadn't bombarded her now was because of the number of people around now.
 
So Julia looked at both her and Derek and shrugged "Whenever you're ready to start poking."  She then slid a look at Nick and tried to that ghost of a grin to show up again, if only for a moment.
 
God this must be driving him crazy.....
 
"The Defender must be pure of heart." the succubus spoke aloud, thoughtfully, even glancing at the one called Karen and, until the debolical with the human male, had been one of if not her top agents "And you obviously hate her.  What are her weaknesses? Or is it this same one that's broken you?"  Then a thought occured to her and she chuckled low in her throat "My dear dear misguided girl... did you use this woman to get to him?"
 
"I'm not broken." Karen practically spit back.  She wouldn't answer to the rest of it and that made the other laugh even more, even if it was done in a quiet tone instead of out loud.  It still stung.
 
The succubus then looked at Shamus "Stop her.  Use her for your purposes and then take Rachel as your own.  Karen will help you.  Her reward will be that which she has pined for all this time."
 
And that, the succubus thought, would leave her free and clear to take down the Legacy and finally start her own personal reign.
