[PUBLIC VIDEO]

[Allison is still deathtolling in the infirmary, but she has her comm and she's not afraid to use it. It's been about two days: she hurts like hell, she's pale, and even after being resurrected from the dead, there's been a lot going on.

She's got a lot to do, and she faces it all with the brightest smile she can manage as the feed shows her, still in bed, and features still tight with pain she's fighting to hide, radiating from the puncture wound that stole her life...the wound that's no longer there.]

So...was that what you guys call a port? Because that...sucked. And not just because...[She falters over it, because regardless of the ship's metaphysical mechanics, there's something so wrong about saying it, enduring it...returning from it.]

...because I died.

[Drawing a shaky breath, she hides a wince as she goes too deep, tests her recovering body too much.]

I just wanted to let everyone know I'm here, I'm okay...and that anyone from Beacon Hills is on notice. If you know Lydia Martin, Stiles Stilinski, or Scott McCall? Check in with them if you see them. Have they eaten, did they sleep...and if they haven't, make them. As soon as I can walk, I'm getting out of the infirmary, and it's going to be business as usual.

Seriously, I'm fine, guys. If you don't take care of yourselves, I'm punching everyone. No exceptions.

[VIDEO, private to Needy and Duke]

Check in, you guys. I just want to make sure you're holding up okay.

[VIDEO, private to Vergil Sparda]

Hi. [Her smile is less bright, wearier and tighter with discomfort, but it's very genuine.] I'm still stuck with this...death toll thing...but I at least wanted to introduce myself. My name is Allison Argent, it looks like I'm going to be your warden temporarily.

How about I offer that to you. I am a demon warrior, less likely to die.

[ Of course he knew he was capped and heavily so, but he had pride about himself and he refused to let that go.

He nodded, sitting back some, he figured it was time for the 'getting to know you part.']

No, I am fine. I had the uncanny luck to miss out on most of the fun everyone had. You will find you need to worry very little about me.

[She blinks at that.] But no less likely to suffer. [And that is the point for her: sparing others what suffering she can. Live, die: if people on the Barge come back from the dead, this is what she has to offer to protect them. Not their lives, but their peace of mind.

And just like her friends, her pack...she will do the same for her inmate.

Shrugging it off for the moment, she makes note of his demeanor. Yes, she wants to get to know him, but since he seems so guarded, she figures honesty is going to get her further than anything.

So she goes back to the demon warrior part, her weary eyes lighting up with interest.]

But go back to the 'demon warrior' thing. Are you a demon that's a warrior? Or do you fight demons? [Neither scenario holds any judgment or preference, only honest curiosity.]

Suffering is not something I would fear with me, ma'am. I am far too old for the concept.

[ He think's he has sealed his heart of, but in truth. He still has the same nightmares he has had since childhood. He may have hardened his heart but he was still half human despite what he claims.]

Both, I am a demon, who fights both demons and humans. Mostly anything that gets in my way of the things I desire. [ He explained.] I am from what most would call a line of demon warriors. Though, my father pinned the phrase dark knight. [ While Vergil's title was Dark Slayer...]

I'm your warden, Vergil. That means I'm responsible for you...not just your actions or your rehabilitation, I'm here to protect you. [The statement is both matter of fact and patient. She wants to say more...that she wants to help him, that she wants to make a difference, but she gets the feeling it might be a little soon for that.

She wants to reach him, and she doesn't want to waste any time.]

You know, there's a comic book character back where I come from called Batman...they call him the Dark Knight, too. He lost his parents to a mugger, so he fights crime to avenge them. And he's not all goody-goody, either. He's kinda hardcore, or so my friend tells me. He's really the fan.

[She pauses, regarding him through the feed.]

Are your dark knights anything like that?

Will you only last as long as Kara? If so I see little point in really putting any effort into it. Namely if you are healing one should concentrate on that above all else.

[ He spoke in the same untouched tone. It was just his way.]

I have never heard of this Batman, but tell me. Did he avenge his parents? [ That certainly had his attention.] As in did he ever find the mugger in question?

[ That hit a little TOO close to home for him, for a second it showed before his stoic look returned.]

To answer your question; no. My father was simply as knights of old were. A noble man fighting for the good around him, the dark was merely pinned on because he was such a powerful demon fighting for the sake of the humans opposed to killing them as his brethren did. And the title is not plural. Sparda was the only Dark Knight, of our world anyway.
