Shadowhunter in the Apocalypse

It had been a little while since Reed had seen Hannah since she picked him up at the airport, the woman looked to be in good health.

She walked into the interrogation room calmly holding a pad and a touch pen, the two heavily broken and restrained men sat and watched her until she made her way to her own seat, before crossing her legs.

Reed and Hale on the other hand watched this go on at a hidden room.

"I was informed you were finally ready to talk," She started with a soft smile, "I hope you're lips aren't too swollen, lest it affect your speech,"

The Shadowhunter/vampire hybrid glared at her with hate filled eyes. She didn't seem to notice as she opened the file she had come with.

He was useless in combat with those Cuffs on, the Apostles were annoying but they were very useful with their Angelic magic and runes. It blocked all supernatural magic, even shadow magic.

"Eric Jadiel, a 26 year old human cashier with no history of contact with the supernatural world, then all of a sudden you vanish of the face of the earth," she turned to look at his partner, "Henry Michael, aged 32, last known record was when you were fired for attempted theft of customers' funds in the bank, like your idiot partner here, that was also the last time you were recorded on any cameras."

"Now I have a very simple question," She paused and looked at Eric eyeball to eyeball, he was the one Reed had reported as the leader of the operation. "Where were you both taken too before you were turned into this thing in front of me?"

The man maintained his glare without speaking, Hannah sighed and before Reed could blink a shadow hand grabbed Eric and lifted the man up by his neck, the man struggled for air desperately.

"Unlike you boys I actually have a lot to do with my time" She said with hints of impatience, she pointed her pen at the man while she mentally controlled her shadow with finesse "Now would you like me to call your friends back in to continue breaking you slowly or do you want to save me a big headache and just come clean?"

The man continued struggling for air, if he wasn't restrained by the runed cuffs he would have probably been able to shift into a shadow, but it was a very unfortunate situation for him.

"Nod if you agree" She rolled her eyes like the man was a performing monkey in a circus while he gasped desperately for air still pointedly refusing to nod.

Hale rolled his eyes as he took a look at Reed's expression, if this were a cartoon the young man would have had two big hearts instead of eyes the way he was looking like a schoolgirl who was experiencing her first crush.

"I never knew she was so…."

"Uncaring about life?" Hale helped him.

Reed shook his head "Beautifully ruthless".

"Uhuh" Hale looked at his ex-mentee with disdain, "Of course you would think that. Well as long as you don't mind her son you can go for it."

"Hmm that may be a bit problematic" Reed admitted thoughtfully, Hale looked at him wide eyes, surprised that Reed was actually considering dating his assistant.

"You know what, do whatever you like," Hale shoved the matter aside "now moving on to other much more important matters, I heard you had Mia's first official training started today?"

"Yeah," Reed nodded not taking his eyes off the scene in the interrogation room, Reed had to commend the man for his stubbornness even while being choked out.

"She managed to break her personal record," He replied finally, "though personally I felt something was a bit fishy."

"How so?" Hale asked intrigued.

"Well do you think when you were starting off, you could go from struggling to shadow bench a weight of 150 and within a day shoot straight to 200"

"Ohh" Hale exclaimed

"Without food too." Reed meaningfully added.

Hale stroked his beard, it WAS quite irregular, he was a bit scared his daughter had taken to performance enhancing drugs, he knew he had messed up her self-esteem a bit, but he was trying to be better these days.

"Drugs?" Hale asked a bit scared.

Reed noticed that sometime during their conversation, the second man in the interrogating room was also being hanged in the air by Hannah, while the previous guy was pinned to the floor with his butt exposed, the calm devil of a woman was whipping this man's ass with shadow whips, this interrogation was surely taking an interesting turn.

"One of the most logical explanations," Reed replied calculatingly "Or maybe she just hit a convenient growth spurt, but I think there is another explanation….it's a bit problematic though"

"More problematic than drugs?" Hale shot back.

Reed just gestured towards the two mutants, their legs were currently held up and spread, Hannah calmly whipped their privates without mercy, Reed's crush doubled instantly. "That level of problematic."

"She wouldn't…." Hale suddenly turned pale,

Reed sighed as he added more important bits of information "She was also pale, almost like a vampire and she was sweating in unusual amount, look I don't want to jump into conclusion, maybe she is just sick or maybe she is still coming off the effect of the sleeping drugs, there is no need to jump that far ahead"

It was a poor attempt of consoling which didn't work.

"I….God what have I done" Hale whispered as he covered his face, processing the information.

Reed didn't know what to say, to the man so he simply put a comforting hand on the man's broad shoulders.

"FINE I'LL FUCKING TALK YOU HEARTLESS BITCH!"

Ah, right on time too, both men paused their conversation and listened in

"Look all I know is that one day I was a normal human working at a provision store and the next thing I knew I was kidnapped, blind folded and taking to a lab."

"What lab?" She asked scribbling the information even though she knew it would be captured by the system.

"I don't fucking know okay!" He yelled from the floor, but she didn't seem too shaken by it "these guys are very good at hiding things they don't want to be seen! they are the one that changed us into this, forced us to go out and bring in new supernatural's so that they could drain their blood for more experiments"

"And do these guys" She inquired "Do they have a name? something they call their little insidious group?"

"I…"

A blood chilling scream erupted from his lungs as a piece of flesh from his back was whipped off.

"THE EQUALISTS!"
