Shadow smirked softly. She knew she'd get him to agree with the offer. He wouldn't be able to resist. With the deal made, she accepted his offered hand to shake on it, before releasing it and running her fingers through her hair. She had to stop and think about what sort of proof she would want, before almost sighing.
"Do with her what you want, and if there happens to be nothing left after, I really don't care. Just get her out of the way."
Quite literally she had just given him permission to do whatever he wanted, she just wanted a clear path to her brother. That was all that mattered to her at the moment.

It was all he needed as the smile formed on his lips. He could do whatever he wanted with her, which ment he could make both her and Ian his slaves. He chuckled as ideas formed in his head. When she stated she wanted Rose out of the way, he gave her a sweeping bow once more, as he always did towards her.
"I give my word, Shadow, Rose will never be in your way again."

Shadow merely smirked, slowly nodding in response to his promise. "Good. I will have a few of my followers come assist you in anything you need." Shadow, meanwhile, had some hunting to do. Of course, she'd first make sure he'd be able to contact any her family were he to need their assistance.
Reaching into her pocket once more, she pulled out another flash drive, dropping it in his hand before he could react. "Everything you need is there. Names, contacts, everything. They'll do anything you ask of them."

"Ah, Shadow, a pleasure doing business with you as always."
He closed his fingers over the flashdrive and walked over to the computer once again. The list of names ran down and he could only smile at the amount of assistance she was offering him just for two mutants. He turned once again to her and gave another small bow.
"I thank you for the presents, and in return you may keep the sentinels I gave you. I'm sure the material I "borrowed" from Wolverine and the professor will be quite useful."

With the deal made and done, Shadow run her fingers through her hair before folding it lightly on top of her other arm. Only when he offered to have her keep the Sentinels she destroyed did she return her gaze to the hunks of metal she'd left on the ground. Finally she sighed. "I'm sure some of my people could find a use for it." She didn't offer any thanks for the 'gift', but that was to be expected.
After a few moments, she turned to leave, but paused right before the ramp, turning her gaze to stare steadily at him. "I hope you will make quick work of handling them. I will not be happy if I must wait more then a few days." Shadow really wanted her brother, and she was definitely not a patient woman. Her half-threat spoken and done, she whipped back around and stalked off, the two Sentinels leaping into the air and following the woman. Just as silently as she had arrived, she was suddenly gone...

"Fear not, they will be gone within the week."
He chuckled as she turned and left. He then walked calmly down the ramp, glad to have both her and the two piles of junk out of the way. He knew Jackie was listening in, he had made sure she always remained in earshot, even if he didn't, he knew she did. He looked continued looking out the door that Shadow had left through.
"Jackie, my dear, it is time to prepare for two guests arrival."

That had to be one of the most interesting conversations Jackie had eavesdropped on in many years. Not just that, but sometime during the conversation she'd felt something prodding at her, as if being poked. What in the world had that been? It didn't take long to discover what it was. Whoever this Shadow was, she must be some sort of telekinetic, but to what degree.... She had no idea. But it was obvious Shadow had found the wheelchair bound woman only moments after she had arrived.
Waiting until Cain finally spoke to her directly to come out, she smirked softly as she left the room. "I fear you're friend might have found me while you two talked."
She brought herself to a stop right in front of him. "I assume these two guests aren't going to be easy catches. How do you plan to do it?"

"Yes, she has that annoying habit of getting in people's heads. Quite literally as a matter of fact."
He placed his hand against his chin thoughtfully, trying to figure out the best way to catch the two of them. He was able to take Rose before, but he noticed in the video that she had become more powerful since their last encounter. Ian had speed, but one of the sentinels was able to catch him off guard. If he hadn't have been protecting Rose, both sentinels would've been destroyed easily. He turned and began walking back up the ramp to the control panel.
"Come, I prefer to have a joint decision on this matter."
He walked over to the console and brought up the video again. Cain wouldn't admit it, but there was only one thing in this world he feared more then , and that was Shadow. It was one of the reasons he had allowed himself to team up with the Nightmares. Shadow was just as dark and evil as he was, maybe more so, but she was also clever.

Jackie couldn't help it, she smiled almost nervously. "Well. Then it's a good thing you have her as some sort of ally. From what I could hear, she could cause quite some damage if she wanted to..." Right then, Jackie knew she have to steer clear of this Shadow, if only to protect her own life. If she were just as twisted as Cain, and Jackie were ever to use her power on the older woman, Shadow probably wouldn't hesitate like Cain had. She'd be squashed, just like her loyal minions, the worms.
Following Cain up the ramp took little effort on her part, but when the video started to replay, the same video she had heard through the ajar door she had been hiding behind, a curious glint filled her gaze. Teenagers? Teenagers had taken down the Sentinels? One of them looked to be later teens, a tall, annoyingly fast boy.
The girl though... She couldn't be more then 15, 16 at the latest. And yet she was the one that did the most damage. A chill ran up her spine as she watched. "That girl... That is who Shadow wants us to capture?" Both her eyebrows were lifted in shock. "A girl that young can cause that much destruction on her own?" Any one would be dumbfounded by the knowledge. How could a 15-year-old do such a thing? And with such ease! "I fear unless they are taken by surprise, neither will be an easy catch."

"Yes, it is wise we keep that little bit of knowledge in mind when dealing with any member of the Nightmares. They don't get that name just for political purposes."
As they watched the video, he still felt a twinge of anger when he saw Ian. He still wanted to kill the boy for what he did when he was at the factory, but he decided that putting Ian under their control would be even better. He couldn't help the smile he made as Jackie's shocked look formed on her face. He had to nod in agreement when she said that they would have to be taken by surprise.
"Yes, but there lies the problem. Rose was easy to take before, but she would most likely destroy us as easy as Shadow. We need to focus on the boy, he's the key to getting both of them."
