Nathaniel had been hefted bodily up from the floor by two burly security guards, and a third had slid a foul smelling black hood over his head. The last thing he got to see was Super Cop following a woman with long greenish hair, the sight of whom made his brain tingle again.
"Hey! What the hell?" He yelled in surprise as the hood was slipped on. It was a close fit, and smelled like a barnyard on an August day. It was just as hot inside as he tried to breathe through his mouth, but the cloth kept getting pulled into his mouth. Surprisingly, he managed to hold his tongue as he was forced to walk, flanked on either side by (what he assumed to be) the same burly guards who had lifted him up. He growled angrily behind the hood, but it was impotent. He had no power at the moment.
They marched him down what felt like several hallways that thoroughly confused his sense of direction. They stopped briefly and the sound of a heavy door being opened penetrated the hot darkness of the hood. Before he knew it, Nathaniel was being pushed down into a hard wooden chair, and then the retreating of footsteps. The sound of the door closing, and he was left alone in the room.
"Okay. Standard operating procedure. I can handle this, but oh! am I going to have words with Mr. I'm A Badass about this fucking hood." He muttered angrily to himself as he waited. It wasn't long before he lapsed into sullen silence, still waiting for the arrival of his interrogator.

Pluto walked along with Lucan, completely silent at first. She'd wait until they arrived at her quarters to say anything. Normally she'd invite him in for a cup of tea, but with the crazy days and the murmurs of rumors among staff she decided it was best not to. Going down several hallways and 3 flights of stairs they came upon the door to her quarters. This part of the palace was completely empty, save for the elegant candlebras lighting the hall and the dark orbs housing the security cameras.
Pluto stopped and leaned against the wall; her head tilted slightly to the side. She extended her gloved hand out to him. "Nice to meet you finally Sir Lucan . I appologize for not properly introducing myself before, but as you know the situation prevented that." this was not a standard way of a "Japanese." person introducing onesself. However, the woman found that way to be way too formal and uncomfortable. Too much bowing for her tastes. Besides her Japanese heritage was simply for effect and disguise. She had quite an exotic look, her features were beyond race, it looked as if she inherited the best part of every ethnicity and could easily pass wherever.
She paused for a moment before speaking again shifting her weight from one. "There is something about that man that you should know. " she said softly almost in a whisper. It was quite obvious that this was something only for his ears at the moment. "In the past he was an enemy of the Senshi. He was under control by two powerful evil queens. I don't know why I wasn't able to pick up on this before he came bursting in but that is moot. But before that about... 3000 years ago during the first Silver Millennium he was one of Endymion's 4 guardians. His true name is Nephrite and I fear that if his memories are fully restored he could remember the corrupted side of him and possibly cause harm."
Pluto decided to give him the abridged version, and she was sure he'd have questions and she would be more than happy to explain. "I hope I don't have to tell you not to tell the others about this. I plan to tell the King and Queen soon however with today's events it's best not to say anything, especially when it might not be an immediate problem. "

"I don't know what he knows and doesn't." She responded frankly. "He's probably remembering bits and pieces. Which is why he came to the Priestess for advice. Even she was impressed with Rei's ability in the psychic field. "Further more I know that their souls were preserved in stones However it seems that they've been able to come back into the waking realm. Part of them may be in those stones, which would make it why they are being drawn here. I think soon we will see the other 3 start to make appearances. " All though she was only speculating because she did not have the knowledge of what exactly happened, as it seemed to be a strange fluke in the time stream, it had a high probability of happening.
"I mostly want to be there to observe. I want to know what he knows and can recall. So only if he mentions something about strange memories or dreams push it. I don't want to risk triggering something and have it get out of hand. Time is so fickle...." Her voice trailed off, as she turned to open the door to her quarters. "Excuse me for a moment."
Pluto slipped into her quarters. They were pretty cold and empty looking. A bed covered in silken black sheets, looked like it was never slept it. A leather couch opposite of the bed, and a desk containing a sleek computer. She lit the room with candles, florescents she saw as too harsh and unnatural. Her hand slid into the drawer of her and pulled out a round dark crystal. A bright light of purple surrounded the stone where it was transformed into a sleek black communication device.
She returned to Lucan and handed him the device. "I am concerned that Luna didn't give you one of these sooner. There will be times where you would need us, and vice versa." Choosing not to say much more Pluto moved to walk forward wanting to deal with the intruder as soon as possible.
"Also I want to know how he managed to slip through to the Chambers without one of your security members not detecting them. " This was a small poke at him. "So I hope that hole is fixed."
"Lucan, if there is something you need to know ask and I will do my best to explain." For someone working so closely with the Queen and the senshi it was best to accommodate what he needed.

Time felt like it was dragging along as he waited for Super Cop, Priestess Prissy Pants, and the green haired woman that he hadn't gotten to see to come and keep him company.
He didn't bother trying to get up or do anything other than try six hundred different manners of slouching in his chair because he knew the guards would be on him like white on rice. He really wasn't in the mood for another wrestling match where he was at the disadvantage.
The absolute worst part about all of it: he could no longer smell just awful the hood was. He was hot and sweaty beneath it, but his nose had become so inured against the stench of the cloth that it didn't even register.
He was running out of options fast. They were going to play the waiting game? Fine. He would get his own form of torture in, and the show of idiocy would work in his favor for getting out of here that much faster. They dumber they thought he was, the sooner he'd be let go.
Nathaniel drew in a deep breath and began to sing, loudly and deliberately off key, every horrible commercial jingle that he could recall; jumping from fast food chains to insurance companies and back again. Even if they didn't complain or get rough with him, he knew the effect would be lingering on his captors and that gave him some small measure of spiteful satisfaction.
And if they didn't hurry it up, he would move onto Disney Songs, and then Show Tunes.
