Miami 8 am

Rye inhaled deeply as the morning sun washed up on his face. He left his motel room with his long board under his arm and he locked it. He had been living out of that motel with money he'd been scraping up doing odd jobs around Miami after he left Alcatraz. He'd been looking for his brother Peter. He found some leads that pointed to Little Havana and he'd been asking about him around local bars and such.

Rye rode to the side walk with his long hair blowing in the breeze. He was wearing a raggedy pair of black shorts and a black tank top.

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

Since that day he had awoken in the med lab deep in the heart of Alaska and had performed a frickin miracle in the form of escaping with his powers intact, yet for all his planning he had not expected to fail in seducing Nex from the get. That failure had actually stung him in a way he'd never experienced and it was that kind of raw emotion he now craved, it was that experience alone that drove his need to find out what this world had for him. Joshua had traveled across the great expanse of the United States from Alaska looking for something, he had found it first in the form of Greg Harris in the great state of South Dakota and unfortunately for the man there would be no more one night stands.

Now as he sat across from...Noah he thinks the man's name was and slides his foot up the guy's leg to rest on his crotch, he catches a flash of some familiar face stored in the vast array of memories in the mind of his vessel. A small grin slid across Joshua's face as his companion gives a full body shudder upon release and with no comment at all he slips away before the man can offer him some prefession of undying love, he's one of the lucky few to actually be alive after orgasm. His steady footsteps sync up with the man's in front of him, there is little more than a slight difference in how their feet fall that would only register to someone with exceptional hearing...something that he's relying on. Joshua reaches for his Ray Bans in the right pocket of his black boardshorts and puts them on, his chest is bare save for a necklace of polished obsidian and platinum that ended in the form of an Ankh. "Rye?" he calls out softly putting all the tenderness he can into his voice, a moment of guilt quickly passes through him before it's suddenly crushed.

[Rye Blackfoot]

Rye's ears twitched and a smile stretched over his face. "Joshua?" he beamed. He turned around to see his dear old friend . He stepped of his long board and he embraced the psychic. He missed Joshua he hadn't really talked to him for what seemed like ages. Josh looked seemed to have gotten more tan due to the Florida sun. Rye let go of Joshua and tucked a strand of his long hair behind his ear. " what brings you here to Cuba, man! You have to tell me what you have been up to since we spoke last! I know this great shop that has the most killer burritos! We can talk as we walk there!" Rye beamed some more.

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

Joshua could feel the warmth surge forward as the man hugged him tightly to his rather more defined chest, his head cocked to the side as he quickly reminded himself that awkward silences were not something he was known for. So with a slight giggle he returned the hug with equal force wondering just how close he and the hunk of man could get before the end of the day, yet the traces of guilt he had felt from before were rearing their ugly heads and unfortunately they'd reacha point where he would not longer be able to simply ignore them. "I was actually looking for you Rye, there's been some stuff that's been going on lately and i needed to find you. Besides i never really leave Alcatraz or Levi for pleasure alone and what better place to head to but here?" He had looped his arm through Rye's as they walked down the street to whatever hole in the wall the man was taking him to, his desire for food almost seemed nonexistant nowadays and for whatever reason when he did eat there was no thrill to it. Almost as if that part of who Joshua was, no longer functioned.

"I'm actually not with Levi anymore, we kind of parted ways after you left the island and decided that our love was the kind that was too intense. We kept burning eachother and there was a point where it became too much, it's for the best though i think. Plus a lot more guys are willing to have their wicked way with me knowing that my psycho boyfriend wont make their brains boil in blood and shit." The truth of the matter was that Levi hadn't sent any indication he was looking for his vessel and that for all he knew the other man considered Joshua KIA, either that or the master illusionist was only using Joshua for power alone. So now as he planned out this encounter step by step, he was confident in the knowledge that Rye didn't suspect a thing and would probably join him. In more ways than one.

[Rye Blackfoot]

Rye walked by Joshua's side, " I'm sorry to hear about you Levi. There are many fish in the sea." he smiled, "I should know I can turn into a Dolphin now, that's a fun story for another time. I've actually been doing a lot since I came to Miami. I've been saving animals from different situations and learned some new things about my powers. But once again I'm getting ahead of myself and am rambbiling." he lead Joshua to small shack with a wonderful smell. The merchant seemed to recognize Rye, "Well if it isn't Simon you want another burrito?" Rye's eyes lit up and he smiled, " Two would be great Javier, this is an old friend of mine who was in town. I thought show him your crap shack." Rye joked. Javier smiled, " Hey cool it Simon I might tell the police what you've been doing!" he joked as he finished preparing the burritos in what seemed like a flash.

Rye took both burritos and handed one to Joshua he waved at Javier with a smile, " Man that guy cracks me up!" he lead Josh to the shore of the beach where the two guys sat and watched the ocean. Rye turned to Josh as he unwarpped his burrito from the wax casing it was in. " So what's going on? How come you're looking for me? Not that I find it flattering."

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

Joshua sat indian style upon the coarse sand of the beach as he and Rye at their burritos, the ocean in front of them rolled in steadily as it always had since the beginning of this planet and for him it was quite comforting. Since the second he was released from his prison within his vessel had been one moment after another of pain mixed in with lust, the memories he had viewed of love and happiness were no more than bitter tastes of something he could never gain. Inside of him a black chord whipped about at the walls surrounding it trying to breakdown the cage it had been placed in, the only thing keeping it in place was the same hate/pain and lust that he was now filling himself with...after countless millenia of being asleep anyone would be hungry.

Joshua broke away from his inner musings and returned his deep gaze back to Rye as the other man looked at him asking his questions, he could see why his vessel had latched onto the man when he had the opportunity and the reason for putting some space between them. His right hand lifted up away from his lap and slowly made its way to Rye's lips brushing off a bit of carne asada that had found itself stuck there "Levi and i were too in love like i said, it was only a matter of time before either of us hurt the other and so we decided to end it lest the army fall apart. Besides now i can focus on all the other guys in the world who would give their right nut for a night with me, or you know not one of their nuts since i like guys with both of their balls." He smirked at the look currently on Rye's face from what he had just said knowing that he would have to go about this catch the careful way less the other man would suspect something. His jade coloured eyes remained locked with Rye's as he took another bite of his burrito and with a wink he removed the hand that lingered on the other man's face. Joshua cleared his throat and crumpled the wrapper "I was actually looking for you for a specific reason, not that i don't find you attractive 'cause i really do but i had something to ask of you. Things are going to change drastically in the coming weeks and i need to know i can count on you to have my back, there'll be some things said about me that will be coming from somewhere dark...ignore them. That is until i kill them right?"

[Rye Blackfoot]

Rye did not how much longer he could hold up the charade. He looked to Josh's green eyes and snarled. He could feel Joshua's sexual advances he knew there was some manipulation involved. Rye looked at Joshua and stood up. "Alright, where's Joshua?" Rye's brown eyes turned yellow as his anger grew. " I know you look like him, you talk like him, but you don't smell like him. Your body temperature is different. I knew Joshua had an attraction toward me but like a school boy crush. You come to me with pure lust." Rye stepped forward to this fake Joshua, "Tell me where he is and I won't rip your body in half." he growled.

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

Joshua snapped his fingers and pulled Rye down to the san harshly with his telekinetic powers, the sensation of something fluid like ghosting over his skin was all the other man could feel while under his control. He quickly flung the barely eaten burrito into the trash can behind them before stradling Rye's lap resting himself there, slowly he lowered his face so it came to hover above the other mans letting his lips ghost over Rye's when he spoke. "My my puppy sure has quite the bark, but can his bite match up to the hate behind such hurtful words? Don't worry your mangey little self about Joshua's whereabouts as his longevity is pretty key to my existence, he's kinda sleeping in our mind right now waiting for loves first kiss or some shit right?" Joshua pulled his lips away slighty and shifted his body lower so his head rested atop Rye's chest listening to the lub-dub of the heart, the fingers of his right hand traced unkown patterns that amounted to little more than gibberish.

"You were mostly right when you said that Joshua had a school boy crush on you yet he would have fully acted on it now since he is no longer tied to Levi, it seems that they loved too strong and in the end would mean the downfall for eachother." Jade coloured eyes focused on whiskey brown of the man underneath him and tried to delve into the unprotected mind, his eyes widened before he felt his powers thrust away and beat down utterly. With a low growl he shifted his body into a sitting position wondering at Rye with determined calcultion, there was something unforseen working in the shapeshifter's mind preventing him from gaining access. "Hmmm, interesting really! I guess i'm going to have to distract you entirely so that little guard dog you have in your mind can't see me coming eh? Fancy a tumble? I'll make it really good for you Rye, i could sense your attraction for Joshua from the start so why not jump at the chance to bag him yeah?" And with a grin he pulled his powers holding Rye down back into himself waiting for the man to make his move.

[Rye Blackfoot]

Rye's eye glowed yellow and his body heat rose as he grew more and more angry. His breathing becoming more labored. "You should not mock me Shadow man!" Rye's voice grew deeper and alien. "My mind is stronger than you think! And I suggest getting off of me!" Rye's body started to shift into a a bulky animal. his hair grew long and fur covered his body. His teeth grew sharp and long as his bones cracked and extended. His shirt ripped off and his shoes snapped.

[Joshua D. MacArthur]

Joshua immediately leaped backwards from Rye and crouched low on the sand waiting for the man to complete his change, the mind set of an animal was a lot more closer to the surface than a human's but unfortunately more difficult to read. His eyes shifted across the animal in front of him taking in the tenseness of the muscles and bared teeth dripping with saliva "Make that a very big doggy!" he said with barely controlled mirth. The air around them suddenly became more dense than what would naturally occur at that elevation at any given time, the sand beneath Joshua began to swirl about his feet counter-clockwise as his eyes bled to black. "I would quickly reconsider any notion of engaging me in battle Rye, no amount of love that my vessel holds for you will stay my hand should you attack me and should you become injured i'd rather not have to listen to his bitching. All i want is for your promise not to come gunning for me should you hear what i will attempt in a few days time, besides you wouldn't want to damage your precious Joshua's body right?"

The other Joshua cocked his head to the side waiting for Rye to either make his move or back off, there would be no hesitation on his part in taking the other man down nor would he allow the spectators around them to leave with this knowledge. Already he held their minds within the palm of his hand as he continuingly erased the scene before them and replaced it with a normal beach scene, the chance that one of them would eventually alert the government should he let them go was a risk he would not take. "Say what you want but i don't plan on harming my vessel at anytime nor would i allow anyone else pose a threat to him, so now you should get that i am Joshua and not some shitty ass doppleganger. Sure i'm pretty F'ing psycho, but a masochist i am not."

[Rye Blackfoot]

Rye's pants soon followed and black coarse hair covered his body and he was a bear. His hulking muscled tensed as he crouched. He knew he was being threatened by the Shadow Joshua. His thoughts sent out to Joshua, "Concentrate my friend fight the shadow. We all have our dark side, it is up to you to fight it!" Rye stared to close distance between himself and fake Joshua.

He muscled burned as he picked up speed. He had intent to hurt this man perhaps if he harmed him Joshua could fight back and he could help him. He heard people scream as they probably saw a giant bear coming at a young white boy.
