Hexon yawned, his eyes shifting towards the Horizon. The setting sun was... well, setting. There wasn't anything else that he could say. He mentally reminded himself to get some coffee when he got home, his gaze shifting back to the pages of his book. It was peaceful, quiet, and nobody was there to disturb him. Just so... His cellphone started ringing, catching him by surprise. His hands fumbled, almost making him drop his book, but he didn't(Not yet, at least). He pulled his phone out of his pocket, flicking it open instantly. "Can I help you?" He asked, an icy tone in his voice as he closed his book. "Four ones, two zeroes, and a one." The person on the line said before hanging up. Hexon blinked, not understanding the strange message, closing his phone. "Huh... That's wierd..." He muttered before something came to his mind. "I wonder...." He flicked his phone open again, switching to a different mode on it. It had one of those calculators on it, you know the ones on the computers that can translate binary and stuff? He quickly entered the number, switching back to the regular setting, and came up with a single number. 121. "121..." He said under his breath. "That's the number for that old, run down apartment complex, isn't it?" He thought for a second, then his eyes snapped open. "Wait a second, that's my house!"

A golden bird was nestled on a branch nearby, trying to ignore the urge to fly with a flock of its own kind nearby. The bird jumped when Hexon shouted and shifted its wings uncomfortably.
Sanna herself was still in control in this form--for the time being at least. And her interest was pricked by this guy. Her curiosity was a bad habbit she'd picked up from her brother and she followed it just as blindly. No one would notice a little bird watching. Just a cute, innocent little bird.... Sanna felt like sticking out her toungue at the thought. It was at times like this that she really wished she had a different form.

Hexon shot to his feet, stuffing his book and cellphone into his jacket as he did, looking around frantically. He paused, his eyes catching the bird.... He shook his head, smirked, and dashed off in the direction of his house, vaulting over one of the benches as he did to get a quick boost. "Good thing I don't live too far from here..." He muttered angrily, mad at himself for not leaving earlier.

Just a cute little bird, Sanna thought bitterly. But at the same time it comforted her to know that no one would give a dang about her flapping around. This guy actually scared her.
The bird hopped off the branch and immediately went into a dive, wings tight against its side. The wings snapped open a short ways from the ground and a gust of wind immediately sent her spiralling upwards. Wheeling, she slipped after Hexon at a distance, keeping to the trees when possible. On second thought, this bird thing isn't so bad, Sanna thought as the wind swept past her wings.

Hexon dodged past a person, weaving his way through the crowds taking the sidewalks as quickly as he could. He growled, thinking. This is taking too freakin' long! He shook his head, breaking out from the constant barrage of crowds. "Just another minute..."

Sanna had no problem moving--she was flying above the crowds and with the wind. Her spirits soared once more as she saw a flock of sparrows and she immediately hid herself by flying with them--they were conveniently going the same direction...with just a few side trips.

Hexon shot a glance down the road at his house. Yeah, he had reached the neighborhood now, and was almost home. It was pretty simple, a 1 story house, but hey, it was less expensive and he lived alone with nobody to bother him. He dashed up to his door, shoving it open as he stepped in. Nobody seemed to be there, for the moment..

Sanna turned and flew towards the house as well. Specifically the open window.
Smack!
Sanna fell to the ground and blacked out for a split second. She recovered quickly, though, and got back on her feet. Stupid Sanna, flying straight into a glass window... she thought angrily as she stumbled around.

(XD) "Oh, good, you're here..." A voice said from a different room. Hexon growled, walking forwards into the next room. "I see you're an addict to Japanese History..." The person said. He was a redhead, wearing a black labcoat and black slacks. All black, to be simple. He was examining one of Hexon's many katanas, which he had hung on the wall all over the room along with several other weapons. He probably used more money on those than anything else.

((Eeeep!!! The smiley of doom is back!))
Sanna jumped back up to the window and watched for a second, ruffling her wings. She could just barely make out what was being said inside. Her common sense was nagging at her to just walk away, but Sanna didn't actually care. This guy had weapons in his house, of course this was gonna be interresting!
The flock of sparrows landed in the yard over, picking at some seeds on the ground. Sanna twitched, trying to ignore the urge to join them.

(*Insert Darth Vader 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' here.*)
"...How'd ya get in my house?" Hexon asked, his eyes narrowed. "I have no reason to tell you THAT. The question is, do you know why you're here?" "I don't talk to people I don't even know the names of..." "Ah, forgive my rudeness..." Rio said, placing the Katana back in its place on the wall. "I an Professor Rio Akera Hikari. I'm the head of the AAGE Science department."

Sanna straightedned, even more interrrested. But she was still being drawn to the flock and for a split second her instincts almost sent her falling off the window sill again trying to get to them. Ulgh, no good, she thought as she hopped down. With one quick look around to make sure none were watching, she transformed.
Now crouching in the flower bed was a girl with red hair pulled back into a loose pony tail. Sanna could certainly hear better now, too. And without a doubt the two men inside were too distracted to notice that they were being eavesdropped on.

"AAGE, huh? I heard of ya' before... Psychopath, they call ya'.." "Yes, well I can't say that some of my projects are a bit... strange, to say the least." "So why are YOU here, anyways?" "I was wondering if you would like to be part of a little something I was working on." "Oh?" Hexon asked sarcastically. "Why give me the honor of being part of your many deadly experiments?" "Because you're one of the strongest people I know." "I'm not kidding." "Nor am I." "Fine then... what's the project?" "An Augmentation project. I need an adult human to test it on. We've tried it on a few animals, and they've survived even the most lethal injuries, enough to kill most humans.." "Oh really?" "Yes, It sounds insane, I'm sure." "Sounds like utter madness.... But I'm interested. When do you need me there?" "Oh, Say Noon next week?" "Done. Now get out." "Absolutely." And it was at that moment that Rio stalked straight towards the front door... Sanna would have to move quickly to stay a secret.

Sanna was stiff after hearing about the project, her eyes norrowed. She jumped when she heard the door open. For a second she was stock still, praying that she wouldn't be noticed. Move, idiot! Fear swept through her and she knew there was no other way--
She leaped into the air, but was suddenly a bird once more, flying straight up and beyond, only praying that the guy had taken her sudden movement to be a trick of the eyes.
