Going Down

Such a fool...Heh Alice thought to herself as Alfredo took her hand. Stupidity as a trait Alice had a intimate love-hate relationship with. On one hand, being surrounded by idiots was a major hassle for somebody as intelligent as miss. Mordrake. Yet, at the same time, stupidity made manipulating people much, much easier, and in this case this cute little rabbit boy was enough of a fool to eat out of her hands. Yes...in time, she'd have him being like a trained dog...heck, he already was!

Of course, what truly interested Alice was Alfredo's power....it was certainly useful...while it was certainly not flashy, it had applications, and on a larger scale could be used to do some amazing things. Alice's mind swirled with possibilities. re-constructing enemy spaceships into useless hunks of metal. Shifting entire worlds around to make resource extraction easier and, of course, re-arranging people in the most terrible, painful way possibles. What a wonderful torture that would be! Alice thought to herself. She was so excited by the thought that she had to bite her lip just to stop from letting out a deranged giggle.

Stepping through the portal device with Alfredo, the pair where instantly transported to another SPECTER lair half-way across the multiverse. Of course, to one like Alfredo who is unfamiliar with the mechanics of portals, this fact would remain virtually unknown as the place where they where now looked like it could be anywhere. The surroundings where clearly expensive and it showed. The whole place had a sleek, modern design aesthetic with clean lines and shapes. It was lit just bright enough to see but at the same time was dim enough to give off a shady yet comfortable feel. The colors of the room was a combination of slick black and gunmetal grey, with deep red oval-shaped light fixtures providing the illumination. Walking down a long hallway with Alfredo in hand, the pair where greeted by a man dressed in the cloths of a Butler.

"Lady Alice...I see you've returned with a friend. While I wasn't expecting you back so soon, I am always ready to serve. How can I help you two?" The Butler asked the both of them, remaining stoic and polite.

"Well, Alfredo and I want something to eat. You know my tastes...so just tell the chef to surprise me. As for my friend here, his name's Alfredo!...and he can speak for himself." Alice said happily.

"Master Alfredo? Is there anything in particular you want to eat?" The butler asked the rabbit boy.

Being still inside Alfredo's mind Alice immediately knew he was uncomfortable. The Butler took down both there requests, but before she left, Alice decided to speak up. "I think a change of scenery is in order for my friend here, so if you don't mind, please deliver our food to the skydeck." Alice said to the Butler. With that she lead Alfredo along to a larger then normal tile on the floor. As they both set foot on it it glowed blue and they immediately where reported to another room entirely. Unlike the previous one, this one was a large, spacious room with a massive concave wall made from what looked to be entirely glass. The view outside was breathtaking, to say the least. Vast, snow capped mountains lay sprawled out before Alfredo and Alice's eyes, with a bright, sunny, blue sky providing more then enough light for Alfredo, along with the actual lights in the room itself.

The furniture had a similar aesthetic to the first room, sleek and modern, with slick black and gunmetal grey colors, yet the seat cushions where plush and white. Alice took her seat at one of the chairs that circled a small table and motioned Alfredo to take a seat at the chair opposite her.

"So...now that we're away from all those mean kids, I'd like to know a bit more about you, if you don't mind telling me? Like...you seem pretty cool...it's not so often you meet a bunny boy! I'd like to know where you came from...like..before the school...that is if your ok with telling me.." Alice asked in a frendly, cheerful tone.
