Raphael walked along the perimeter of the place gardens, holding Ivory's hand in his as they did. The two had basically spent most of their love day doing...stuff... And decided a change of pace was in order. Raph smiled warmly and wrapped an arm around Ivory's waist. "Well, what do you want to do now?" He asked.
Ivory smiled... Raph was adorable. Maybe still a bit young... embarrassingly full of stamina... "Maybe just a drink and some time to lay down by the beach? I didn't get much sleep this morning," She teased.
He smiled. "Alright... I'll give you a break." He teased back, softly bumping into her. The pair walked back inside and into the kitchen, where Raph began fixing some alcoholic beverages. "What would you like?"
"Surprise me Raph," She replied, "I know you're worried you're going to make a mistake... but it's fine to take charge a bit."
Raphael nodded. "Alright." he grabbed a few bottles and began to mox them together. After a few moments he poured the contents into a glass and slid it over to her. "Try this." He said sliding the amber looking liquid over to her.
Ivory would give it a quick taste, "Very sweet..." She replied, before taking a deeper sip. "... So... what are your plans? Are you going to stay with USO forever?"
Raphael looked over and smiled warmly. "I can't leave." he replied. "That means I would have to leave you." He said cocking his head softly to one side.
"I'm not married to Uso," She laughed, "... I am free to move about. Uso and I are just... well, we're used to working together."
He walked around to Ivory's side and sat down next to her, softly resting his head against hers. "I still think I would stay. This dust ball is growing on me. Plus..." He gave her a peck on the cheek. "I know you aren't tied down here, but you still give me quite the incentive to stay." He replied.
"In a few years, it might not be a terrible place to raise kids." She replied.
He smiled and wrapped an arm around her hip again..."I would like that very much." He said leaning in and kissing her deeply.
There was a soft rumble off in the distance, as if the kiss sparked literal fireworks. Ivory hungrily sucking on his tounge for a moment.
"Mr Castiel."
The voice belonged to a hooded figure, nearly 8 feet tall, a thin cloth hood pulled over his face, similarly loose clothing over the rest of his body, along with a tactical vest and side holsters for a pistol and knife. The only skin visible being on its hands, that looked like chiseled marble, holding a rather sleek rifle.
"Your mother has asked that you come with us."
Raphael was caught of guard by the intense kissing he was doing when he heard the voice. When he looked up to see a weapon pointed at them, he whipped around and shielded Ivory with his body. "Like hell I am! How the fuck did you get in here?!?!"
The hood shifted a bit, just a hint of a toothy grin peaking out, showing off sharp, pointed, teeth.
"That was her last time asking you to come home. Are you going to save us the trouble of carrying the two of you out of here?"
"Don't you dare fucking touch her..." He growled in defiance, bearing his own teeth in return. In a flash, his hand jabbed out and slammed into the hooded figures wind pipe. He then whipped out his pistol and fired several times into his skull.
The short range blast would strip the hood off the attacker, showing off the creature's face... or at least what passed for it. There was a mouth full of sharp teeth, but no other features to speak of, no eyes, nose, just what looked like white, chiseled , marble. The first round slamming into the smooth surface of the face, tearing into skin and then deflecting off to the side. The second round hit right in the same spot, forming a crack underneath, then again.. then again, the creature stumbling back and falling to the ground.
Raphael had no time to yell. In a flash, he had grabbed Ivory and began sprinting towards the roof. "What in the hells has my mother done..." he muttered as he ran with Ivory.
From the roof of the palace, they could see Van Banning's hexagonal tower. Many of the floors seemed to be on fire, and there was sporadic gun fire coming from the first floor.
There would then be a deep, low, breeze as two more of the creatures landed nearby. "Ok, you got me, I wasn't expecting that." One of them said... despite Raphael clearly able to see the creature he had just shot laying on the palace garden grounds. "... my bad, not making that mistake twice." Both creature's let their rifles drop and drew their pistols, firing stun-blasts at the two of them.
In the last moments before the stun blasts came, Raphael threw open his wings and shielded Ivory from the incoming onslaught. He screamed in agony as he was hit with multiple blasts.
Ivory went for Raphael's gun, only to get shot in the back.
The two were then slung over the creature's shoulders... and quietly taken out away from the city.
