Outside the room,

Peeking out the door, Obsidian nodded his head on how the coast was clear to leave.
Clearing his throat, he ruffled his hair and stepped aside to allow Nix out.
"It's time to leave this shit hole!" Nix whooped as he stretched out with a devious smirk.
Solis on the other hand held onto the door's jamb to stabilize himself from falling, he couldn't believe he was partnering with two wackos nor could he believe Nix was a lot crazier than he let on.
Surviving in that barrier was enough to give him the idea of staying by his sister's side more often.
Looking behind him, Nix noticed the dazed look on Solis and with concern, he walked back to ask about his friend.
"Are you alright?"
With the approach of Nix, Solis coughed and hoped he wouldn't come any closer until he came to terms with all he had witnessed and heard.
Nix nodded his head, understanding how he was feeling, and chose not to pry any further.
"I need to see my sister, we were inseparable from birth and majorly get the chills when I'm away from her for too long." Solis sweatdropped at his exaggeration.
Obsidian rolled his eyes, "she seems to be doing just fine without you though."
"Shut it!" Solis warned with a pout.
Obsidian scoffed and shook his head, "you should start to learn how to respect me."
Scrunching up his nose at the heads-up, he harrumphed. "You wish."
"Your sister looks like such a good match for me, don't you think?" Obsidian teased with his brows wiggling.
Nix had to come in between the two as Solis rushed to pull at Obsidian's tail as revenge for his taunts.
"If I were you, I'd use my brain to think instead of wasting it on it just occupying the space in your skull," Nix whispered and held Solis till he calmed.
Solis adjusted his black leather jacket and understood he was no match for what could have happened if he had pulled on Obsidian's tail.
His pride at that moment wouldn't let him back down so easily, instead, he activated his ability and shot a bright light in Obsidian's eyes.
"Ahhh!" Obsidian roared and shut his eyes for a second, when he opened them, his eyes glowed in rage.
"Solis, Nix, Obsidian?"
They all turned their attention towards Lank who stood frozen and unsure of his next action. Beside him was Alex who had a similar outlook on the situation.
"Is there anything we might have been interrupting?" Alex continued and turned around without their confirmation.
His body stiffened when he felt Lank hold him by the wrist with a hiss, "don't even dare think of running away!"
"Would you want a static energy blast?" Alex countered in a whisper with a disturbing eye-shut smile.
Letting go of his wrist, Lank cleared his throat and looked to the three they had interrupted earlier.
Obsidian's plans for Solis had been ruined due to the distraction by the two.
"What are you two doing here?" Solis questioned with a bright smile.
He was glad for the timely distraction that enabled him to safely escape the actions that could have presented from his stupidity.
"You two took too long and we had to ascertain if you were alright," Alex spoke up.
"Speak for yourself, staten!" Lank countered. "There was no need to worry since we got two crazy..."
He immediately regretted his words and gulped as he felt two pairs of eyes glaring at him from behind.
Zzzm!
Lank was sent flying when Alex's maroon static energy spread out and specifically hit him.
"I had already said you shouldn't call me staten." Alex cackled in laughter. "Next time you would feel a greater force if you try it once more."
A clap could be heard coming from Obsidian, amused by the show developing.
"You two are worse off than Solis and I, but in a good way."
Solis gulped at the reference, reminded that Obsidian still considered what had happened and judged them by it.
"Could we leave here before she wakes up? I for one wouldn't want to be caught in an awkward situation." Nix cut in and looked over his shoulder at the dimly lit room where Ayanami lay unconscious.
They all nodded and proceeded to get back to their rooms to get their belongings before escaping.
–––––––––––
In room Apex,
They all stood in front of their doors and commanded their doors open before stepping in.

Nix had just entered when he was pulled onto the bed.
"Pretty face..."
"Shhh!" Lumina pressed her index finger on his lips and planted a kiss on his lips before pulling away.
He was left stunned by her brave act and let out a chuckle on which he choked when he caught sight of what she wore.
Only clad in the very shirt that had brought them closer while in the academy, he could see several buttons lose and her cleavage could be seen, but that wasn't as strange as how he couldn't see a bra on cupping them.
Tearing his gaze away, he struggled to get free from her sitting on him. "Now isn't the time."
Lumina pouted and rocked her hips to stimulate him under his pants and she squealed in delight when she received a positive reaction.
"Why do I feel something poking from below?" She questioned and pretended to be as innocent as she could portray.
Nix groaned and stopped struggling when he gave a quick recollection of how Mune had acted earlier toward him; he couldn't tell if she was mentally preparing him for what to expect of Lumina.
"It's only a natural response, but I definitely can't do that here." Nix flipped them over and pinned her wrists over her head.
Lumina giggled like a child and smiled, "I'm just so happy we would be leaving here, remember your promise."
'So that's why you're acting this way?' Nix closed his eyes and let go of her hands, pushing away so he could concentrate on getting their belongings.
Lumina's heart sank, she observed he wasn't in the best mood as he grabbed a bag to which he arranged what they needed.
"Arion's gone." He muttered, never giving her a glance with his back toward her.
Lumina watched with dead silence at the news, she couldn't understand why she didn't feel overjoyed by the news and was visibly shocked.
Nix took her silence as a reluctant acceptance and was about to turn around to comfort her on losing the opportunity she wished to get her revenge on him.
"What about that vile snake?!" Lumina's cold voice broke the silence and her focus was now on the bed sheet.
Letting out a sigh, he knew his answer might anger her if she knew her condition of Ayanami.
"Do you want the truth or would like to be blissful in ignorance?" Nix offered while searching for what he needed to complete what he had packed.
Searching around the room, he realized they might not have the luxury of getting clothes of their choice like how they did in the academy or organization.
While waiting for her answer, he walked to the wardrobe and opened it repeatedly to take out a series of cloth combinations he could use for the time till they found out how they would survive in the Outlands.
He felt Lumina's hands snake up from behind and hold onto him from behind. The side of her face pressed lightly on his back.
"The truth, I want just that." She whispered soothingly.
"She has been spared from our plans and would remember nothing of the incident that happened today." He explained, regretful he couldn't kill her like it was done to Arion, not until she completed her task.
Lumina's grasp tightened and she pressed her head to him to take in his scent mixed with sweat.
"Have you been using my lavender shower gel?" She pointed out and dropped her towel to the ground so she could feel him up from behind while naked.
Nix felt embarrassed by what she was doing and tried to pull away. "Stop fooling around."
"Who else can I fool around with?" Lumina contradicted and pushed her bust on him so he could feel how erect her nipples were on his back.
Nix began to sweat dropping at the prospect of what laid out for him once they left the organization. She could be let loose and he hoped he could keep up or stand his ground.
'I f*cked up digging my own grave by telling her that.' He thought as he tried to focus on the wardrobe, but the more he tried, the more he pictured how she might look naked and it was driving him crazy standing still with her pressing onto him from behind.
The air surrounding them was getting a bit hot even for him and he clears his throat to clear the sexual tension that was permeating the room.
"Don't you want to look at me?" Lumina whispered into his ear, her hand stroking his erection held in by his pants.
