Daimon walked toward the Zane corp tower, he was but a few feet away from it, surrounded by members of the fallen all wearing pure black robes with black hoods. Daimon wore his crimson long coat and a black muscle shirt with black jeans, his usual attire. His wing was tucked down so it was invisible. Security stopped him at the front of the building.
"Excuse me, I have a meeting with the Ceo of Zane corp." Daimon spoke lightly. His blue eyes scanned the guards noting their sinful minds, and reading their thoughts. "Sir, Im afraid I will have to ask you for your weapons." The man spoke coldly. Daimon smiled. "Actually my public relations officer received a letter today speaking of a meeting between Zane corps and The leader of the 7 sins."
The guards nodded. Daimon took his hand pushing the man lightly out of the way and walked in. "men wait out here please." He spoke lightly and the fallen nodded their heads to their lord. Daimon walked into the building and up to the secetary. "I'm here to see Lucius." Daimon was always formal but never so formal as to call someone other then by their first name unless of course he was mocking them. "Tell him, sin has come to speak with him." Daimon mused.

Cameras had picked up the line of robed men walking down the street some blocks away; ZaneCorp liked to keep an eye on the city. The corporation often sought to downplay the revelation of the underworld to the general public, trying to cover things up to preserve secrecy. Thus, when robed men made their way down the street, ZaneCorp's media wing began coming up with some story to spin as their security wing went down to greet whoever the visitors were. After the recent attacks in ZaneCorp, security was a little on edge. If any more intrusions were to occur within the tower to disturb the master, someone's head was probably going to end up rolling and no one wanted to be the unfortunate security guard who let that happen.
The secretary stared at Daimon for a moment before typing some buttons into an computer and leaning towards an intercom. "Mr. Erif, the leader of the Seven Sins is here for his appointment," she said.
A brief pause, then a reply from the box on her desk. "Good. Send him in."
The secretary looked at Daimon and motioned him forward as the doors in front of him opened up. It was not Lucius' main office, which was on the to floor overlooking the city, but rather one of his several other offices throughout the building. As the door opened, Lucius stood from behind his desk, dressed as he almost always was in a fine suit. His blue eyes fell upon Daimon as he entered. "Good evening, Lord Sin, and welcome to ZaneCorp Tower," he said, extending his hand to Daimon.

Daimon followed the secretary in smiling lightly at her and passing her in a moment, Careful not to touch her. He was very sensitive about such matters and he did not consider her worthy of touching. However the man she worked for was well respected even by the angels, and Daimon looked forward to meeting such a vampire.
Daimon took his hand lightly, It was strange human customs. The knights had extended their hands to show they bore no arms, and therefore wished each other no ill will. Daimon smiled lightly. "No need to call me Lord, I am after all but a mere humble angel." he nodded his head lightly in respect. "You have a lovely organization and I have noticed it, noticed how it effects the masses in such a positive way, this truly proves the pen is mightier then the blade. Throughout time, cultures have manipulated by such men as yourself. Lucius Im fairly older then you and I have seen many like you. Your ideas and inspirations should be a success if you play your cards right and choose your allies well." He was fairly old... considering he was the first creation... The first and best of the angels. He had been alive since the beginning of child, not born into the world but created into it the angel he was.
Daimon would read his thoughts, he would know everything about this man before he spoke. The vampire lord... Was hard for him to read, it was strange... He looked to lucius. "Gluttony, one of the members of sin informed me that you wished to meet with me, I spoke with the others and they agreed that I should meet with you. It seems you've earned the respect of my men... not to be confused with my small organization. We are many more then seven. we are a small organization that ensures the tranquility of the world, you could say we ensure people who join with us and who wish to be are free." He smiled softly.
"So, Lord Lucius, before I make a fool of myself and assume anything... What is your plan for this meeting and why would you call on such a humble angel." Daimon smiled softly. He seemed innocent, and was pure. The purest of the angels at one time. However this purity was not to be mistaken, anyone who had heard of the creator of sin knew that he possessed the evil within him to destroy cultures, and he had destroyed many civilizations in the past. That which stood against what he believed in was condemned and destroyed. However he was already trusting this business vampire lord. The man did not send out any signals that said he was dishonorable yet. He would see what the man wanted, and listen to his words rather then prying into his mind and reading his thoughts.

Lucius de Romanus had garnered many supernatural powers through his centuries of existence. But the thing that wielded the greatest amount of power, his most precious asset, his greatest strength, was his mind. Yes, he had all of the normal superhuman abilities that vampires wielded, and he could levitate and move some things with his thoughts, but his mind surpassed all other skills. Apart from a near-photographic memory that allowed his intelligence to be far beyond the scope of most creatures, it helped him keep other beings from prying into his thoughts or mystically influencing his actions. Yes, the angel before him could most certainly undo Lucius in a match of strength and power, but even he would have difficulty opening up the mind of the business tycoon.
With a gracious smile settling onto his handsome features, Lucius took a few steps to his desk and sat down, motioning for Daimon to sit in the seat opposite of him. "Trust me, in my small existence I have learned how to keep my cards close to the chest and play them safely," said Lucius, chuckling lightly. Which was why it had taken him so long to finally reach out to the angels to establish a relationship. Daimon claimed to be humble, but in Lucius Erif's experience, angels happened to be far from humble. They all believed themselves to hold a special place in the world, and Lucius was often hesitant to get involved into their affairs. But, he getting himself a different cards to play with now, and felt it was an opportune time to reach out to them.
"You are a creature of skill, influence, and persuasion. I, like you and your people, seek to ensure stability and prosperity in this world. I, too, have seen civilizations rise and fall, and to this date survived them all. Today, this city and this civilization have such a potential for greatness that I would like to ensure that it is allowed to continue forward without being derailed by these unnecessary blood feuds destroying them," began Lucius. "To that extent, my corporation specializes in ensuring that money and goods are kept safe, things that should not be given to the public eye remain secret, that people can arm themselves for their defense, and that information has one central conduit to pass through for the greater good." Lucius lifted a finger up, tapping his head.
His hand lowered a moment later, folding on the table before him as his blue eyes remained focused on Daimon. "I believe that, with our mutual interests in serving the greater good, we can do business together," said the vampire elder.

"Lucius, You are quite wise." Daimon muttered lightly acknowledging the fact he could not read this vampires mind. He closed his eyes for a moment reopening them. " I do believe that the fallen will make good use of your services, and in return I give you men to supply and fortify your army. My men are willing to die for me, and my orders and perhaps you could use them well.
"This said I will also send Members of the 7 sins to aid you if you so ever need our skills. We as angels are stronger then most living beings. It should not take more then one of us at a time to destroy your enemies. In return All I expect is your cooperation and your services as a company... Also I believe it will produce results for the both of us. I believe it will ensure my men are well equipped, and you have men to equip. However I ask that you treat my soldiers like your own, for they are my fallen... and I love them." He spoke gently, soft and kind.
Daimon smiled lightly. "Also I must ask your current stand with The ancient alpha wolf hiro. I must ask do you consider him a friend or a enemy? He is currently a business partner of mine and I would not like him to be discouraged because of a new business relationship." Daimon smiled lightly as he looked out the window. The black angel turned his head looking at the vampire. " It is strange that we have not met before, Lord Lucius." He mused lightly. "Both of us have impacted the world greatly, but aparently not to great." he mused. Yet he could not help but feel he knew the vampire, or at least of the vampire.

The edge of Lucius Erif's lips coiled up slightly into a confident grin as the sinful angel made his proposal. This was a most excellent deal. Lucius had already secured an alliance with one of the sins, thinking it alone to be useful, but now all of them could be used by ZaneCorp, in exchange for weaponry and the various services that his corporation could offer-- aliases, disguises, codes to things, tips on what was going on, information on people. In exchange, he received the type of muscle to add as an even greater incentive for people to not deal with him, and one of the most troublesome groups of mischief makers in the city under his paycheck rather than opposed to what his and his organization were up to. This could work out well.
"I think, Sir Daimon, that we have ourselves an accord. Your sins will be recognized as employees of ZaneCorp in our security division. We'll name you Captain of... Sin Squadron, ought to do it, though I realize only a select number of you are sins. You will be granted all the weaponry and assistance made available to my own people, and your group will be counted among my own people," said Lucius. He would just have the offensive portion of his security sector transformed into this Sin Squadron. This would work well.
At the mention of Hiro, Lucius arched an eyebrow. It seemed the lycan was being busy too. "Hiroshi and the Lycan Imperial Army as business clients of ZaneCorp. We provide them weaponry and information, along with some security, in exchange for cash and some revenue from the slave trade. Personally, our relations have cooled somewhat when his lieutenant broke into this very office, destroying much of my property, threatened my life, and then kidnapped and brutally raped one of my slaves. I want to kill the brute, but Hiro would not let me, so I just castrated him and fed his manhood to the dogs," said Lucius, a glimpse both into his current status with Hiro and how he reacted when his trust was betrayed-- a far cry from how mild-mannered he seemed to be. "So, apart from the incident with Dark Fang, Hiro and I enjoy a healthy business relationship. If his dog dares to attack me or my people, who I am charged to protect, again, then I will suffer Hiro's anger to kill the monster."
Of course, Lucius had heard of Daimon and knew almost anything there was to publicly know about him. That was, after all, the gift of the vampire elder. It was his business to know anything that he could know. Knowledge. Information. It was just what he did. And he was sure that the angel had done his own share of homework on Lucius. "We have most likely not met until now because it was only recently that our underworld decided to reveal themselves to the general human population. I am an ancient vampire and have spent my existence keeping my kind in only the legends the humans had to offer, trying desperately not to get them to know we exist. The invention of mass media made that difficult-- lo and behold the advent of our current age, therefor flushing me out of hiding," said Lucius. Relatively, out of hiding, anyways. It was not public knowledge that he was a vampire. "Now I use the same media that undid my work to keep our underworld as elusive as I can from the public, both to protect humans and our selves, particularly my kind. Humans see us all as monsters, for the most part. My kind has the unfortunate custom of sleeping during the day. Easy prey for humans." Lucius had, for centuries, operated under the belief that whatever was done in secret had great power, so he continued to try keep things hidden from the public, particularly the slave trade in town. ZaneCorp was very good and hiding information.

"You are quite confident Mr.Lucius." Daimon replied lightly. "Very well, I will captain this sin squadron, and since your treating me as a member of your team, I will treat you as a member of mine. Me and Lucifer are on good terms... So if you ever do die, I will ensure that you do not make it into the torture pits of hell. In other words you just secured your afterlife as well." Daimon smiled lightly. "Of course you will never have to use this little token." Daimon smiled reaching him a black chip. "If you were to die... use this.... in hell and lucifer will grant you life again in the human world." He mused lightly handing him the black golden metal chip.
Daimon smiled. "It has been a productive meeting and we should keep in touch Lucius. If you have any jobs for my men, I would ask you to contact either me, or one of the ladies of lust, Perhaps even despair in her happier moments." He mused. Daimons eyes were soft and calm. "Do not worry My men are more loyal then hiros, they act upon my word and as children of the fallen their hearts truly belong to me. They will act only how I ask them to, for I know their souls... I have read every thought that courses through their minds, and they cry out to me even now to be fed sin. I will send 50 men to your corporation whenever you request to serve as guards and such. They will be low rank soldiers but aren't guards always low rank?" He smiled again.
"Media, is a powerful tool. Keep the humans fed disasters and tragedies and we can keep them under your wings so to speak. It is unfortunate we did not meet in the past, it would have made life less difficult... Regardless since we are members of the same team now let us strive for the future of our people. Our races and let us never let oppression tie down those we care for. Lets allow freedom to ring... throughout the earth." Daimon nodded his head in respect as his cell phone lightly vibrated in his pocket one of the sins had called him. "Forgive me I must leave. I would not cut our meeting short if It wasn't important." Daimon spoke lightly. "Goodbye Mr.Lucius Let us meet again soon." He said as he flickered away into darkness.
