WHAT || The Knights assist the FBI in investigating some mysterious creatures
WHERE ||Tennessee
WHEN || April 2nd [back dated]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

While scams about genetically modified corn wouldn't normally fall under the purview of the Knights, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation has called in assistance from Wynn because of reports of the two agents investigating the matter running into some sort of Shadowkind that attacked them at the silos containing the corn in question.

The Knights fly out to Tennessee to check out the situation, and Christos drives them directly towards the silos in question, which are three lonely, old looking structures set in the middle of a field far away from any other civilization.

[ still patting mulder's cheek like the worst nightingale, amy manages to focus enough to watch the monster fall and vanish. oh. ] Is Robert okay?

[bowtimeandspace]

[ the doctor doesn't move up too close, not wanting to scare her. he just sits in place, and crosses his legs a bit, getting comfy as if he's there for the long run ]

Dad's are great, aren't they? I had one once. Bit embarrassing sometimes though but they try their best. What did you do? You can tell me, you know. I've done all sorts of weird things. Tell you what, you tell me then we'll go and find your dad together, how's that sound?

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian lowered the gun looking shocked as the creature vanished. Moveput the gun away moving over to Christos since Amy and Mulder seem to have each other.] You gotta show me how to do that shit, and hide a sword.

[ He hated being useless.]

1/2

[agentspooky]

[ mulder looks over to where robert is, and moves to get back to his feet, with amy's help. the man is slowly shaking his head, heavily confused. ] Are you alright? [ robert looks up at them all in turn, and then at the treehouse. "My girl... Is she--" ]

[everyredcent]

[ christos casts an unimpressed look at sebastian, before flicking his wrist with the blade in hand. it retracts into itself in moments, and he easily hides it back on his person. ] He'll be fine.

[ the little girl looks down, staring at her hands. "He told me not to tell anyone. About my... my powers." ]

[bowtimeandspace]

Well that's okay, I'm not anyone, I'm the Doctor.[ he shoots her a big idiotic smile and offers out his hand towards her. ]

Hello!

[keptbiting]

The Doctor is with her, [ amy assures robert, looking a little pale but confident. so confident. ] He won't let anything happen to her. Trust me.

[ speaking of: ] Oi, Doctor! Update?

[opprobrium]

[ He still looks hella impressed at that sword retracting. That was cool as fuck. He finally looks over to Robert.]

I wouldn't worry, he's good people.

[agentspooky]

[ the girl looks a bit skittish when she hears amy call up, but looks back at the doctor and tentatively reaches out for his hand.

"Those men in suits came to ask my dad questions. They must have found out about me. He's going to be in trouble because of me. It's all my fault," she says, eyes filling up with tears. "Please don't let them take him away from me." ]

[bowtimeandspace]

[ with a smile, the doctor takes her hand and gives it a gentle squeeze ]

That's just my friend Amy [ he assures her ] Bet you'd love Amy. And nobody is going to take anybody away. They'd have to get through me first. Promise.

[ carefully, he shifts a little, and looks towards the opening on the treehouse ]

All right Pond! [ he calls back ] We're just having a bit of a chat. Everything okay out there?

[everyredcent]

We're fine. [ christos seems unconcerned about any of the minimal damage suffered by the team at least. nothing they won't survive. sorry mulder. ]

[keptbiting]

Well, we're something. [ it's softly muttered as she casts a worried look at mulder and rubs at her forehead again before raising her voice to reply. ] You haven't any paracetamol, have you? Maybe a humbug?

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian looks back to Robert a moment then to Amy.]

He doesn't look that bad, besides, chicks dig scars.

[bowtimeandspace]

Hold your horses! [ he calls back out ] I've got just the thing!

[ looking back down to her he whispers. ] Think my friend isn't feeling very well. Shall we go out there, see your dad? What do you say, eh? Together?

[agentspooky]

They do, do they? [ mulder directs to sebastian, before dropping a very wry hint of a smile at amy as if to ask her to confirm. they're interrupted as the girl nods shyly to the doctor, and deigns to climb down with him. robert rushes forward towards his daughter, who leaps off the ladder to go running at him, throwing her arms around his legs.

"I'm sorry, Daddy," she murmurs, muffled against him. robert looks confused a bit, glancing up at the doctor. "You've nothing to be sorry for, sweetheart. This wasn't on purpose." ]

[bowtimeandspace]

Course it wasn't. These things never are. But you're both alright, aren't you? And cuts and bruises'l heal.

[ he reaches a hand out and touches it lightly to robert's arm, reassuring, before moving back towards amy. ]

Right then, what's going on over here?

[keptbiting]

[ glancing up at mulder, she makes an expression that looks a lot like maybe. ]

Psychic head shot, [ she says to the doctor, pointing to herself, before indicating mulder with: ] Physical head shot. [ her voice lowers. ] Cindi's okay? She's not hurt?

[agentspooky]

[ cindi shakes her head, and then looks up at robert. "It's my fault they came, isn't it?" she casts a nervous look at mulder. "Because of what-- what--"

a look of realization crosses robert's face, and he meets mulder's gaze as the agent comes to the same conclusion. a smile breaks across mulder's face, and he shakes his head. ]

Your father is helping us, Cindi, to take down some bad men. We weren't meeting with him because of anything you did.

[bowtimeandspace]

[ the doctor fishes around in his pocket and pulls out two boiled sweets, one red, one blue. he offers one to amy and the other to mulder. will they help? are they some sort of special science? are they just sweets? its a mystery.

he puts the back of his hand to amy's brow ]

You'll be fine, Pond. Just take it easy. You-- [ to mulder ] should probably have that looked at.

[keptbiting]

[ pops it in her mouth like a kid. she feels useless rn tbh, so she just goes with it and is useless rn. ]

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian looked to the kid, than shakes his head amused. He's got nothing to do really.]

[everyredcent]

[ mulder will take it with a rueful smile, as christos eyes robert and his daughter, before turning his attention to the federal agent. ] She must have overheard you and your partner meeting with her father, and taken the wrong idea from it all. These creatures coming after you were manifestations, like the one you saw here moments ago.

[keptbiting]

She was just protecting her family. Cannae fault her for that. [ if she sounds unsure it's because amy doesn't know how families work. ]

[bowtimeandspace]

Well exactly. What Pond said! So right. Here we are. What now? Do we go somewhere for tea? Maybe a little bit of battenberg. I like the pink bits best, don't know about you.

[believethelie]

[ it's at that moment that diana bursts out of the trees, with a few armed police officers behind her. cindi starts and disappears behind her father, clutching him in fear. ] What's the situation?
