IC Hawking had been smart enough to go alert Kai that there was someone there and he was taking the other cats, as that was exactly what it had looked like to him, so pawing at his face, he managed to get Kai up, who had at least two other cats sleeping on the bed with him. Franklin, a fat brown manx cat, and then of course, Einstein, a fluffy white cat who liked to claim the end of the bed as his own.
Believe it or not, these were not the limit to the cats that lived there. There were still three more left. Kai...well let's just say it was very possible that Kai was living a lonely life.
Kai got up and looked at the cat, who was staring at him determinedly. "Hawk, what are you doing?" He asked sleepily as the cat hopped off the bed and sat in front of the door, meowing at Kai as if to get him up and to follow. Which luckily he did, turning on the hallway light as he went, pausing once he noticed the man from earlier, eating a sandwich with the fridge still open.

ใใ IC ใใ Almost finished with his sandwich, Jace glanced up to see an the lights flicker on and a strange man in the doorway. What a very odd man, but if he was standing in Jace's apartment, he couldn't possibly be bad, even though Jace had no idea who he was. "Oh, hello," he said through a mouthful of sandwich, as if he had forgotten he was eating, and swallowed. "Who are you? How'd you get in here? Did I leave my door unlocked? Sometimes I forget." Actually, Jace forgot so much it was probably medically concerning. He'd meant to get a checkup like his family had suggested, but again, he'd forgotten all about it.

IC Kai looked down at Hawking, who was absolutely glaring at Jace, tail lashing behind him. "Thank you for waking me, Hawk," he told the cat, who meowed up at him before turning to disappear in the hallway, he had other things to do now. Then Kai looked over at Jace. "This may be hard to understand so I'm going to try and explain it the best I can. This isn't your home, it's my apartment. Earlier this night you were attacked and taken by a man dressed in black. I saved you but I didn't know where to bring you, so I brought you here, to my home," he explained as calmly as he could, hoping not to frighten him. "My name is Kai, and I promise you that I'm one of the good guys, alright?"

ใใ IC ใใ Attacked? How odd, indeed, Jace thought to himself. He couldn't recall any such thing happening. All he remembered, and rather vaguely at that, was leaving work and being pulled into a bush. Although, he could have fallen into the bush. It might not have been a bush at all. Often, Jace rarely questioned his memory, though it was usually extremely off and wrong. "I was attacked? When did that happen? And if this is your apartment, why do you have all of my cats?" He asked, blinking at Kai and looking like a lost puppy. Upon hearing the man's name, he smiled and said, "I'm Jace. Jace Carreau. Nice to meet you, Ty." Well, he almost got Kai's name right, which was actually quite the accomplishment for him. It was a miracle he remembered his own name.

IC Kai paused. "Your cats? No, Jace, these are my cats," he explained quickly. "That's Edison, that's Marie Curie, that's Galileo over there, the Bengal that disappeared is Hawking..." he rambled, listing off his cats as he pointed to the ones that were still visible, however then he paused. "Ty? Oh no...I'm Kai, I have a brother named Ty, but I'm Kai, it's okay though, the names are kind of close," he added, as he begun to wonder who exactly he was dealing with. He didn't seem to remember much.

ใใ IC ใใ Jace listened in silence as Ty-----no, Kai, he corrected himself-----listed off the names of all of the cats. So they weren't his cats? That was a little upsetting, because here Jace had thought that he'd somehow been given the most adorable cats ever. He frowned, his sadness showing just a little bit. "Oh," he said in disappointment, then stared at Kai for a long moment. "Can I go home now? I'm tired and I think I have work tomorrow." He wasn't sure about having work or not, he would have to check his calendar, if he ever remembered.

IC Kai frowned slightly, the poor guy looked so upset. "Eddy come here," he called out as the gray cat walked on over and Kai picked him up, walking over to Jace and holding him out for him. "They might not be your cats, but you can pet them. Ed's really friendly, I promise," Kai offered with a smile. "As for going home...well, you can't, not yet. I need to ask you some questions and I'll have to contact headquarters to see what they think...fiddlesticks I wasn't supposed to mention that last part, forget that, just...you can't go home yet, okay?" He asked, hoping Jace would understand.

ใใ IC ใใ Jace finished the last of his sandwich and eagerly took Eddie from Kai, hugging the cat gently to his chest and cuddling him as if he'd known the cat for years. Kyle-----was that his name? It was so hard to remember-----seemed pretty nice so far, even if he had just told Jace that he couldn't go home yet. "Are we having a sleepover?" He asked, not paying any attention to Kai's mention of headquarters or what they would have to say about Jace's experience. He was mostly focused on the fact that they could be having an awesome sleepover, despite the fact they had just met and neither of them really knew each other. That didn't really matter to him, or he didn't realize it, but either way he looked excited. "Sleepovers are so fun. Can we play video games?"

IC Kai just stared at him for a long moment, trying his best to comprehend how little this guy seemed to comprehend. He thought it over though, it wasn't like he could even take him to headquarters until morning, and well, no body ever wanted to play video games with him.... "Yeah, a sleepover," he agreed, moving to go sit on the couch, grabbing one of the cats there and putting him on his lap. "Hey there Leo," he greeted the big orange tabby. "But in the morning we'll need to stop by my work...probably, then after that, I'll take you home," he promised, looking over at Jace.

ใใ IC ใใ Jace, as bad as he felt physically and kind of wanted to go home, was always happy and eager to spend time with others. Although he was very nice and friendly, not many people actually wanted to hang out with him. He made his way into the living room and took a seat on the couch, curling up with Eddie in his arms. The cat was so cute and fluffy and it was clear that Jace absolutely loved him already. "I love videogames," he told Kai with a grin. "But there's never anyone to play with at home. I never get have sleepovers, but I bet they're a lot of fun."

IC Kai let out a small, slightly bitter laugh. "I'd like to tell you how fun they are, but...well, I don't know," he confessed as he pet his cat, then after a few moments of silence, he spoke up. "I have a lot of video games, we can play a few, however we'll both need sleep at some point. Especially you, since I have no idea what it was that guy injected in you or what the side affects are..." he paused, realizing he should probably refrain from telling the citizen about all of this. "What kind of game do you want to play?"

ใใ IC ใใ Side effects? Jace hadn't even considered that he might suffer from any side effects, though he didn't actually remember being injected with anything to begin with. Out of everything that had happened, that part was probably the blurriest. He just smiled at Kai, cuddling Edison in his lap as he grabbed one of the controllers. "Any game is fine with me," he said. "I've never actually had a sleepover. Or played videogames with anyone. But they've always sounded like fun." It was hard to make friends when he could barely remember people's names.

IC Kai put Galileo, or Leo, for short, down to go turn on the tv and set up one of the easier, softer games to play. "Well video games are fun, I know that much. Sometimes my brother, Ty, will come and play some with me but uh...he isn't real big on the games. None of my brothers are, which is kind of a shame, but there isn't much to do about it," he explained while setting everything up.

"My parents didn't want anymore kids. I thinkโฆthey used to tell that I was enough to deal with already. Maybe. I don't really remember too well."

IC Kai had decided not to comment on his obviously terrible Jace was, Kai was just glad to have someone to play with, after all, besides Ty, no one wanted to play video games with him. "Yeah I've got three brothers. They're all great, but Nikolas lives pretty far away with his fiancรฉ. Ty can't come over much, and Norman will, but he's busy with life, so usually it's just me," he explained as he played.

ใใ IC ใใ "Well, it must be nice to have brothers. I'm sure they care a lot about you," Jace said as he played the game, doing horribly and dying every few minutes, but still smiling and seeming like he was enjoying the game. "It's just me and my parents. They live only a couple blocks away. I also work just down the street from my house, too, and take online classes." The reason for everything being so close was that his parents had been afraid to let him drive, or move far away, or stay on a college campus. Jace was a pretty sheltered kid and it was rather obvious.

IC "Must be nice, having family close by..." Kai murmured, glancing over to the clock in the room. "It's getting pretty late. How about we stop the game for now, get some rest, and figure out what to do tomorrow?" He offered, reaching over to pet Galileo. Honestly he was a little glad that Jace hadn't yet caught on to the fact that all of his cats were named after scientists. Kai...well he'd admit to being a bit of a nerd in that sense.

ใใ IC ใใ It honestly wasn't likely that Jace would notice the trend of scientist-named cats, or if he did, it wouldn't be for a long while. He didn't usually notice things like that quickly. At the mention of going to bed, he yawned and nodded, setting the controller down on the table before lying back on the couch. He set Edison down on his stomach, petting the cat and grinning at him. "Good night, Kai," he said with a sleepy smile. "Thanks for letting me stay. I had fun." Despite feeling sick, he had had a nice time playing video games.

IC Kai sent him a small smile in return. "I did too, goodnight, Jace," he said, moving towards the hallway. Edison and Galileo were the only cats out in the main room right then, as the others were somewhere else in the apartment. Kai wouldn't be surprised if he entered his room to find the rest of his cats sleeping on his bed, or somewhere in his room, and when he did enter his room, that was exactly what he saw.

ใใ IC ใใ Jace fell asleep quickly, cuddled up on the couch with Edison, his face buried in the cat's soft fur. Animals always helped him relax, although unfortunately, his parents had never let him have any pets. No cats, dogs, not even a hamster or rabbit. Now, however, he slept more peacefully than he usually did.
When Jace woke the next morning, his head was still pounding, though maybe not as much as the night before. He stretched, being careful of the cat on his chest, when his phone rang loudly. It made him jump-----he'd forgotten he'd had his phone on him-----and answered it hesitantly. "Hello? Who is this?" He asked, not recognizing the voice on the other end. It wasn't his mother's high-pitched voice, or his father's blank, stern one. As they spoke for a moment, he was left blinking, then stood up, being careful to move Eddie out of the way.
Making his way to Kai's room, he knocked on the door gently. "Kai? There's a woman on my phone who wants to talk to you," he said. He didn't stop to think it was weird, since before yesterday, they had never met. "She says it's important."

IC Kai had still been asleep, with two cats down by his feet, then with Hawking working as some sort of suffocating sleep mask over his face, somehow though, it didn't seem to bother Kai, and then the other cats were either no longer there or wandering around the room. However when Jace came in, it woke Kai up as the man sat up, Hawking jumping off his face and letting out an unhappy grumble at the rude awakening.
He looked over at Jace for a moment and blinked as it actually clicked as to what he said, and he instantly shrank in his bed. "A woman...on the phone-your phone, asking for me," he respected and shrank further in his bed. Oh no, he didn't like this. "Fiddlesticks," he muttered to himself as Kai never actually swore, and he carefully got out of bed, walking over to Jace and holding his hand out for the phone.

ใใ IC ใใ Fiddlesticks? It was the second time Jace had used the word and Jace found himself giggling a bit behind his hands as he handed the phone over. He didn't think for a moment that something bad might happen, assuming it might be a mutual friend of theirs. Again, that wasn't possible, but Jace always looked on the bright side.
The woman on the phone sounded young and rather unhappy. Not angry, but threatening, and certainly not friendly. "Listen very closely, Kai," she hissed. "You may have saved Jace Carreau for now, but we will succeed in getting what we want. He's very important to our endgame. Stay out of our way or we'll be forced to get rid of you and your employers." She sounded serious and vicious, because this was no joke. "We know where you live, where Mr. Carreau lives, and we are not afriad to do what we need to. So, if you know what's best for you, you'll stay away."

OOC Honestly Fiddlesticks is Kai's go to "swearword" that and a few other alternates I think, honestly I love this awkward dork.
IC Kai went pale as he listened, not speaking a word until the woman had finished. However by the time that she was done, he knew he had to say something, he was a spy and he had to play it cool, no matter how terrified he was. "Well. Now that you've finished, how about you let me speak now?" He suggested. "How do you know my name and Jace?" He questioned, wishing he was at headquarters right now so they could trace the call.

ใใ IC ใใ "Oh, I know everyone. The ditsy moron you saved really isn't that hard to meet-----it isn't like he'll remember it, anyway," the woman replied, and from the look of hurt on Jace's face, it was obvious that he had heard. "As for you, Kai, well. That's a secret. I'd suggest you follow my advice, though." With that, the woman hung up, without even waited for a reply.
And Jace just looked crushed. He was ditsy, and he wasn't very bright, but he still had feelings. He didn't like being called a moron, as most people wouldn't. Sure, his memory wasn't great and he wasn't the smartest, but that didn't make him stupidโฆdid it? In a small voice, Jace mumbled, "Can I go home now?" He was upset and his head hurt and all he wanted to do was go home, although he had a feeling he wouldn't be allowed to, though he'd already forgotten that Kai needed to take him to his workplace.

OOC Tbh I'm glad I chose to use Kai, I don't get to use him all that often and he's adorable.
IC Kai held Jace's phone out for him, looking a little stressed out, already. "I know you want to go home," he started rather carefully. "But you can't, not yet," he told him apologetically. "I'm pretty sure you heard the call, and...we need to go somewhere right now, somewhere safe and where we can really make a plan, see what my superiors want to do," he explained, walking out of his room.
That call worried him, and he got the feeling things would get more complicated from here. If that girl knew him, did she somehow know his brothers? If so, he'd have to arrange for them to be safe, he doubted he would be returning home anytime soon either, he may need to get the neighbor to feed his cats. Or stick them with his brothers, and Ty didn't like cats, which Kai didn't get because cats were amazing...he was getting off topic here.
"We need to leave soon, I'm going to change, feed the cats, and then we'll leave. We can pick up something for breakfast on the way there, we can maybe make a stop to your house too...maybe, but I don't think it's a good idea, so if you wanted to get ready too, I've got an extra, unopened toothbrush in my room and I can get you a change of clothes as well, you'll probably fit okay enough in some of my things," Kai rambled a bit, listing off things as he entered the kitchen, pulling out a big bag of cat food from one of the cupboards on the bottom. "The point is, we're of safe. Neither of us are safe, and we need to talk to my boss and see what he feels we should do. Your house is too dangerous to go back too, there's probably people there and for some reason they want you, so you just can't go home yet, okay?" He explained, finishing feeding the cats and turning quickly back to face Jace.

ใใ OOC ใใ I love him already. He's literally the cutest-----I love how many cats he owns, it's so adorable.
ใใ IC ใใ Jace couldn't go home because it wasn't safe? Why wasn't it safe? He didn't understand what was going on and he was upset, so being confused only made him feel worse. He missed his apartment and his bed and he was tired. His boss was going to yell at him again for not coming in or for forgetting to callโฆ He'd lose his job for sure this time. Jace felt like crying, even if it wouldn't have been that big of a deal to someone else.
"Okay," he said quietly and reluctantly. There was no point in arguing with Kai, as he moved over to where the man had showed him the extra toothbrush. It only took him a few minutes to brush his teeth and change into the clothes Kai was letting him borrow. The jeans were a bit too big on him, but with a belt they fit okay, and the shirt was just a little baggy. It seemed they were pretty much almost the same size. When he was finished, he just stood in the living room, waiting patiently for Kai to get ready and maybe looking a little sad.
Jace didn't understand that he wasn't safe and that, for whatever reason, he was in danger. He was a sheltered, well-protected kid who, maybe, was a bit more spoiled than anything else. "Am Iโฆallowed to call my parents before we leave? I call them every day," he asked hesitantly. It was one of the only things he rarely forgot to do. "They'll be worried about me."
