[i]"You are just a nice addition, May. I have family watching my back. We may not be perfect, but Omicron and Ian are family. They are more than competent."[/i] [b]Damien mused, sounding much older than he was. Sometimes, he was like the old version Lance had met long ago... The one with white hair and black tattoos... But Damien had aged quicker than most. His innocence had long been lost to his horrid childhood of slavery and abuse. He had to mature quickly to survive, and even now he still acted like he was a kid with a smartass attitude. But there was something Damien hated... And that was the undermining of his allies, intentional or not. He knew how family didn't always mean blood. Hell, his own twin brother no longer shared the same DNA... Not since the accident... But Ian, Jazz, Gideon... All of them were more than just guns and swords...[/b] [i]"And if you come, you are staying away from the front lines. Salem would love a chance to turn you against us."[/i]
