Shadow casually wandered through the tunnels of the Ruins that the Brotherhood called home, working her way towards the lowest level and Apocalypse's lab. Very few dared to venture there, and Shadow was definitely one of them. Finally she reached what she was seeking, the doors hissing open instantly and Shadow strolling in.
"Apocalypse, I have need of your assistance."
She lazily glanced over her shoulder to where Cain stood and Crystal levitated. She slowly moved the unconscious Crystal through the air, at the same time moving a chair to the middle of the lab, lowering Crystal into the chair just as Crystal stirred.

Crystal's eyes slowly fluttered open, finally waking up from her overload. She stared downward for a moment, noticing she was in a chair. It took her only a second to find the information she wanted, where she was to be exact.
"Apocalypse's lab... huh?"
Her voice was barely a breath, probably inaudible to the other three in the lab. She slowly glanced up and around, her head pounding in her ears as she took in her surroundings. Her blank gaze finally settled on Cain.
"You made me have an overload, do you realize how terrible of a headache an overload causes? Wait, that's doubtful."
She finally turned to stare at Apocalypse, no hint of fear on her face. If anything it was almost like she was staring him down, seeing who would look away first.... and it definitely wouldn't be her.

::he followed Shadow down into the corridors of the Brotherhood base. He didn't admit his admiration of an alien vessel hidden deep inside a ruined island. It was a clever way to hide something of this size, and as he looked around, he couldn't help but smile at how easily it would be to use this to his advantage. Once the Brotherhood were out of the way that is.
The door opened as the two of them entered the lab, Shadow calling for Apocalypse who was standing at the monitor. He seemed to be staring at points on a computerized map, for what reason he didn't know. Apocalypse turned and looked at them::
What do I owe the honor of this visit Shadow?
::he gave Cain a small glance, but paid him no mind. He figured Cain wasn't too much of a worry if he was with Shadow. As Shadow moved an unconcious girl to the chair, it was then he gave Shadow a curious look. He was about to say something when the girl spoke up, directing her comment to Cain who just gave a small inward laugh and joined her gaze at Crystal::
Why bring such a small child to my lab, Shadow. I have important business to attend to, and I have no time for babysitting

Shadow smirked softly, glancing over her shoulder to Cain when Apocalypse did, before returning her gaze to Apocalypse. It was just as she'd told Cain, Apocalypse didn't seem to care at all why Cain was there. After all, Cain was with Shadow. She almost chuckled from Apocalypse's second comment, silently crossing the room to approach Apocalypse.
"I'm sure what ever you'll doing can wait."
She paused for a moment, gazing silently to Crystal, who met her gaze with that blank expression.
"This is Crystal, why don't you try asking her something. Anything you want. You wont be disappointed, I can assure you."

::he watched as Cain smiled when he and Shadow exchanged glances. His gaze then followed Shadow as she walked to the girl named Crystal. What can be so important about a child that it would draw him away from a possible key member of the brotherhood. But Shadow had never led him astray yet, and he walked over and stood beside her::
Crystal, is it? What do you know of the X-Men?

Crystal slowly blinked, her blank gaze focused on Apocalypse. Upon hearing his question her expression didn't change, but it was almost like her eyes were calling him an idiot.
"Everything and anything imaginable..."
She paused.
"Your question wasn't very specific."
For someone who could be giving Apocalypse all the information he could need or want, she didn't seem to concerned about the matter. Instead, she seemed more interested in correcting him and pointing out that the question he had asked wasn't specific enough.

::he smirked. Though a part of him was getting close to scolding Shadow and Cain for bringing her here. But when she mentioned about knowing anything possible about the X-Men, and saying his question wasn't very specific, he couldn't help a thought that came to his mind. He remembered her mentioning his lab and calling him by name, even though they had never seen eachother before. He decided to test her::
Tell me, child, since you know my name and my lab, tell me the history of the brotherhood and how I came to power

Crystal took a deep breath, like when someone was getting ready to hold their breath for a long period of time. She slowly close her eyes, her mind reeling as the information was gathering, her lips quickly moving to keep up with the flow. To a normal person it would have been hard to follow, but Apocalypse wasn't what you would call normal. He'd be able to make out every sentence, every word... It was as if she was reciting it all like she had been there, not missing a single detail....
Shadow just watched in silence, an amused expression crossing her features. She turned and sat down in the arm chair she had specifically brought to the lab for her own use, her sharp gaze focused on Apocalypse and Crystal, a smirk crossing her lips.

::Apocalypse smirked as she began reciting everything from when the brotherhood was first made all the way to Magneto's downfall and his rise to power. His smirk faltered when he noticed that she began to look as if she was about to faint. But if his hunch was right about what was going on, he indeed had a way to fix it::
::Cain couldn't help the smile that grew on his face as Apocalypse realised the benefit of Crystal. When Shadow moved to the chair, he walked over and stood next to her. He looked to her, his smile growing even more as Apocalypse seemed to get more and more interested in Crystal::

Finally Crystal finished, panting softly to catch her breath. A little color had drained from her face, but other then that she was relatively fine...
Shadow's smirk didn't vanish as she watched Apocalypse's response to all of it. She lazily ran her fingers through her hair as Crystal finished, obviously out of breath. "You can see why I am in need of your services, yes? She seems to have information overloads, which will render her unconscious and useless. We need that fixed..." She didn't even seem to consider Crystal's age into the matter, and that perhaps with proper training she could avoid these overloads completely....

::he rubbed his chin as Shadow talked of the problem at hand. Indeed if the child was unconcious, then she wouldn't be able to help him find ways to defeat his enemies and control humanity. She would even be useful in taking care of the X-Men and those that opposed him::
Indeed, Shadow. I beleive I can work her mind to keep her from having these "overloads", and it wouldn't require training.

A dark grin finally replaced her smirk. She leaned forward in her chair then.
"So I can trust you to handle this for me?"
It wasn't that she didn't trust his abilities, but she didn't plan on staying to watch. She wanted to make sure this was handled though. She'd probably even let Apocalypse use the child first, if only for his fixing this promise. After all, she wasn't in any sort of hurry, unlike Apocalypse who was trying to build an army as fast as possible.

::Cain's smile reflected Shadows as the trap they had laid for Apocalypse had captured the leader of the brotherhood. Apocalypse thought about ways to help Crystal with passing out, and he looked to Shadow with a smirk::
Of course, Shadow, I will see what I can do to keep her from passing into unconciousness before the information is given.
::Apocalypse turned and headed to the monitor, working his fingers over the keys as he prepared some sort of device that would allow Crystal to stay concious during the "questioning". Cain looked to Shadow once more with a gleam in his eye, wondering how this will help them in controlling the world around them::

Shadow smirked once more, gracefully rising to her feet.
"Well then, I shall leave it to you then and return when we need her services...."
She glanced to Cain through a few strand of loose hair, before leading the way out of the lab and back to lead those who looked up to her...
Crystal on the other hand let her gaze wander curiously wander around the Lab. Sure she knew what everything was, and sure she could explain them, but personally she did not understand them. Since her thought process wasn't capable of simplifying terms for a young child like herself. Finally she hopped off of the chair, stumbling for only a moment, before crossing to where Apocalypse was staring at the monitor. She leaned against it, her gaze curiously wandering across the information.

::Apocalypse didn't respond as he continued working on the device. He wasn't concerned about Crystal when she hopped off the chair. He knew that if she tried to escape, he would be able to stop her. But instead of running, she came over and stood by him and watched what he was working on. He couldn't help but feel a growing curiosity towards Crystal::
::Cain smiled and turned when Shadow did, catching her gaze in his. He followed her out of the lab and continued on towards the island where they had left. He couldn't wait to plan the next step with his new partner::
