Elena sat on a small metal chair, in her right hand was a revolver, old and black barreled, heavy and clumsy. She span it on her index finger of her right hand, standing up and observing her surroundings; A dank and cold concrete back alley, water dripping down the walls and rats squeeking in echos of each other. Not a perfect place to be but Elena was feeling a little lost without the others near her, she had been around them more than her actual family, so to be alone for a period of time made her a little...dispondent to other things.
Her blonde hair blew a little in a light uplifting breeze, closing her eyes for a moment she smiled, like it was someone who she hadn't seen for a while. Her mind slipped backwards through time and she beheld a scene.
The Turks, all gathered around a hooded figure in a wheelchair, rain falling and dirty black marks dissapearing from the man's hands, curing him of the disease that racked his body recently. Elena looked at her thoughts, not seeing them really but in her head, each one was unique, not a bad thing although some members (of course not Tseng) were a little lack in regaurds to working efficiantly.
As the wind died down once more Elena sighed, her eyes coming to rest on a figure at one end of the alley way. Causing her to stop spinning her gun and point it, straight armed with a slight bend in the elbow at the figure, not seeing who it was on account of the light behind it.

The roaring engine of a dark vehicle echoed in the quite town as sleeping heads were awaken. The owner of the rather large bike seemed to be lost or he was looking for something, the engine continued to roar before it stopped. The hot seat the Cloud was sitting on just under the flaming hot engine was left, Cloud pulling himself off the bike and holding the heavy bike up by just his arms before he flicked out the stand and then rested the bike. Removing the keys stopping the growling engine and then placing them in his pocket, doing the same to his dark goggles.
Cloud had came here to visit some old acutenesses about the recent meetings and plans. There was also a rumor about Shinra creating a new base somewhere, if this rumor was true Cloud would slaughter each one of them. They had there chance once as far as Cloud was concerned. Once he left his bike he walked up to a small near by house by a small ally way. Once reaching the door, he slammed it open. He didn't really care for manners when it came down to these type of people.
He guessed there wasn't anybody in as the lights were off but he decided to search the permersis anyways. Cloud reached for the light near the door. Revealing a small office full of paper work and desks. There was also a small stairway leading up stairs. Walking to wards the desk of scattered paper before him, he noticed a photo. It was a image of Kadaj, he growled before continue looking through the files but finding nothing.
Cloud was just about to search up stairs before he heard a nose, it was coming outside. He froze for the moment and then called, "is anybody there?"
(Sorry, I had no idea what to write.)

Elena stood still for a moment, wondering about noise inside a building, she stepped, inch by inch towards a door, she was more worried about who was inside now than what she had seen, she stood by the door, back to the wall and gun pointing up at the sky as she clutched the handle in both hands, her breathing shallow and her heart pounding like a jackhammer.
She was about to step around the corner when her foot moved and knocked over a tin can, making an originally small can and noise into a loud, reverbarating noise, echoing around the place and obvikously giving whoever was inside a headstart on to what she was doing and that someone else was here.
"is anybody there?"
Elena squinted her eyes tightly, knowing the voice very well, she looked at the barrel of her revolver, remembering all of the failiures against this man and his friends, how he had to save her once, and that Reno and Rude had helped him when she and Tseng were in hospital. It had been a while.
Turning and pointing the gun at the man in the room Elena pulled back the hammer on her gun and kept both hands on it.
"Don't move Strife!"

Cloud watched as the woman holding a revolver stood there before him and then threatened him. Cloud remained still for a moment, glaring into her eyes thinking of what to do next. Even though Cloud helped the Turk's once they still didn't like each other in the slightest. Even though Cloud's life was at risk his heart beat remained the same and his breathing also hadn't changed.
Then Cloud thought, after analyzing his surroundings he soon found how he was going to win the upper hand. Cloud quickly withdrew his blade then stuck his blade into the table before him sending it up wards in rapid speed and then slashing it half sending the remains at Elena. Once his first attack had made a distraction he quickly looked up at the light and slashed it, shattering the glass of the light bulb, making it almost impossible to aim a bullet at someone. With that he quickly shot at Elena's neck with his hand, sending her to the ground hopefully making her lose the gun. That is how Cloud won the upper hand.
"Where is everyone?" He asked, it was still pitch black and neither could see each other they could just feel each others grasp.

Elena didn't see any of it coming, Cloud had acted so quickly that she couldn't react fast enough, she was thrown to the floor by his hand, her finger never getting the chance to pull the trigger before her hand dropped her revolver and the lights were out. She looked upwards, towards where she supposed Cloud would be in the darkness.
"They aren't here..."
Elena said, hand reaching to her side and pulling her other gun, pointing it into the shadows at where she suspected her opponent to be.
"Who were you suspecting to be here anyway Strife? An armed group of soldiers? Really! Even for your suspicious nature this is a strech isn't it?"
Elena scrambled backwards to a wall and pulled herself up, looking around as her eyes adjusted to the light. It was a funny feeling, not knowing where Cloud was, or for that matter having the veiw of having her eyes closed. Moving slowly through the pitch black she kept her gun forwards, aware that this was her only other back up save for the control baton that hung at her waist.

Cloud grunted at the fact they wasn't here, he also pulled himself back to his feet letting his grip of Elena's neck go. She was blind, it was easy for Cloud to take advantage of her now, even though he was in the pitch black too but the Jenova cells that were planted into his body made his senses quicker and faster. He could see a bit better than a normal human and this also helped his position.
Cloud moved his body as Elena almost stumbled straight into him. He didn't expect for any soldiers or any protection, he just expected the other Turks. He wasn't here to attack the group in the first place it was Elena that made the first threat. He sighed, making Elena aware of where he was but then shifted his body in another direction.
"I noticed you have a photo of Kadaj on your desk? Have the Turks got something planned...?" He said as he continued to wonder around the room slowly and silently. He didn't want to give his position away.

Elena felt that she had walked into someone, and because no-one else was around she assumed it was Cloud, but no sooner had she known where he was that he had moved again. She wasn't too keen on dark places like this, but then again not many people were, but there was something still unsettling about Cloud being in here at the same time that made it all that bit more un-nerving.
"No idea what you are talking about! We can keep pictures on whoever we want to. I bet if we looked for it we could find a picture of you somewhere."
Elena bumped into the desk and her free hand felt out the picture frame which she fumbled and let drop to the floor. Cursing under her breath she knelt down, keeping on hand on her gun, pointing straight.
"Kadaj may be of interest because of what he is. A remnent! Then again we could say the same about you, being a powerful enough person to kill Sephiroth on your own."
Reaching and feeling the paper of the photo amid the glass on the floor she picked it up and put it in her pocket, wondering exactly what a picture of Kadaj would have buisness here for anyway. But that was none of her buisness unless she was told it was.

Cloud didn't like the tone of her voice it was quite annoying how she talked about him, how she still thought she had power over peoples lives like she had a right to do anything she'd like. He shifted his weight to wards the woman and realized she wasn't high enough rank to know anything, she would've of just bin ordered about with no knowledge of what she was doing.
"The way you describe me... People like you would fear someone like me?" He growled playfully.
He wasn't sure just to leave now or to ask for more information. He quickly slipped behind Elena's body as she knelt down and when she stood, Cloud gripped his arm around her neck placing his blade by it also. Even though she had no information about the cases, maybe she might know where the others are.
"Where is Rufus and the others?" He asked with a deep tone, gripping her neck tighter.

Elena had no chance to move before she was in the type grip of Cloud once again, it was a very daunting as she saw the very low light reflect off the blade which was very close to her neck. She swallowed heavily, feeling very worried about her own existance now, but she had a duty to...well she wasn't on any sort of duty now, infact everything she was doing now was in her own time.
"I was tortured by Kadaj and his gang to a degree of nearly giving up on life althogether. You think I'm going to tell you anything about where Rufus is NOW? Just because you have me by the neck with your sword to my throat?"
Elena looked up a little at the ceiling, in her head she was praying very quickly for some form of safe outcome for her, but she was aware there were no Turks around to help her, no Reno, no Rude and no Tseng to help her anymore.

Cloud was growing very impassioned and he didn't want to stick around here long because there was no one here apart from her. He hated the way the Turks still thought they was part of something but the Shinra Corp was destroyed. He then listened to what brave words came out of Elena's mouth and sighed, he felt like giving up on her. She was annoying but then he simply stated,
"But the difference is... I'm not Kadaj, thats your problem... I'm stronger."
Cloud didn't really want to fight this woman, he didn't want to fight the turks. He just wanted to inform them of his new information and see if they had plans. He knew deep inside that he would need help for the battle that was to come soon but he didn't want to admit it, he was Cloud... The hero of coarse.
"I don't want to hurt you, I just want information... Your not Shinra anymore."

'Not Shinra any more'! Elena was deeply insulted, annoyed and angry at that point, but she knew that Shinra had disbanded to a certain degree but Elena was still working for the President and he WAS Shinra, so in technical terms she still was a member of the Shinra Company.
But then something occured to Elena, something about why Cloud would be at a place like this at all and up until now he had been asking questions about Shinra's plans and motives, but had up until yet come up with a reason for his visit.
"What is it you want really? Because I know that you wouldn't make a pointless journey out here for no reason. You are Cloud, a hero and someone who works for reason instead of duty."
Elena bit her bottom lip, aware that Cloud could probably kill her or put her under greater torture than Kadaj ever could, but she was calling his bluff really, hoping that it was against his nature to kill someone with any REAL reason. Or so Elena hoped.

Cloud wasn't interested in what Elena was saying but he listened, just in case any information came from her lips but his was disappointed, she was asking him questions... Like a typical Turk. He wasn't interested anymore in Elena, he had given up on her.
"You are not of importance to know of my reason..." He growled, insulting her rank before letting the young woman free and shoving her to wards the ground.
He then began to walk to wards the door in the darkness, leaving Elena on her own once he left the small house. He wasn't happy about how much information he had got out of coming here but he choice not to go any further in questioning the young Turk. After all she probably wasn't even told. He thought about where they could be as he wondered down to the bike he had parked in the middle of the road.

Elena slowly picked herself from the ground, grabbing her revolver that had become clear in the new light from outside. She rushed to the door and aimed the gun at Cloud, focusing hard as he walked towards his bike, Elena stood still for what seemed like a lifetime, just aiming as a wind again blew down, making her think about what she was about to do.
Maybe Cloud wasn't here to just inconvenience Shirna again, which would lead to her inconvenience from loosing a job or money or something like that, but if his reason seemed good enough to come all the way out here...would it?
"STRIFE!........" Elena called out, putting her gun by her side, "I'll inform the President that you have made enquires into our work..."

Cloud looked at Elena glaring at her as she held a gun before him. It could easily kill Cloud but she would need allot of courage to shoot at Cloud with her Strength. He watched as she Screamed his name and then placed her by her side and placed the black goggles over his eyes like a mask and then placed the keys in the bike, twisting them starting the engine. The large machine roared as Cloud twisted the handle.
He then twisted the handle again and nodded at Elena informing him that she will report him but he wasn't bothered, flicking up the stand and then the bike leaped up in to the air then crashed down with a heavy force before speeding off, twisting round to turn and sending dust scattering into the air.
