[attr="class","bsmain"] [attr="class","bsimg"] [attr="class","bslyric"] [attr="class","bslmarg"]DARLING I'M A NIGHTMARE[attr="class","bsltmarg"]DRESSED LIKE A DAYDREAM[attr="class","bsbody"]Oh what a deathly horrible racket they were kicking up. There was no end to it today - the incessant photo snapping and screaming by the crazed paparazzi. Mortals flocked by the dozens as if some lewd college girl was throwing it all out there for the world to see, yelping and crying out to get closer. But for what? So close to the glorious Initiative Compound it was most likely some top tier superhero, but which dog of the government would be able to garner such admiration. In all honesty Kane didn't care. The affairs of the supers meant nothing to the sorcerer as long as they kept their high noses of his dealings. Being who he was, Kane could mingle with just about any soul regardless of how tainted, but some foul stench around the compound did a good job of keeping him away. Was it hope? The smell of an entire city throwing their love at a bunch of egotistical powerhouses who's only interest in this world was money would've made the mage quite queasy if he didn't have such a strong stomach. Nazir Kane had no reason to sit across from the compound sipping a sweet lime drink from beneath the shade of a tall umbrella and yet there he was. Something on this day drew the...not so young sorcerer to the compound he detested so much. Something...or it could've possibly been someone. His dazzlingly golden eyes scanned the crowd as whoever they were following began to move closer and closer toward the juice shop. He scrunched his nose just a tad bit, eyes glowing just faintly as they shot through the dense crowd. "So it's him..." he smiled. The glow died down in the sorcerer's eyes as he brought a hand to his chin for support. From the sly smile that had etched it's way across his features it was no hard task to determine Kane has some convoluted scheme in mind. "They won't be there forever ya know...they'll all turn on you one day. You've already known this." From as far across the street as he was Kane knew for certain his words would reach Aldrich. A whisper so low couldn't possibly be heard even by someone sitting in front of the man, but who had to worry about distance when magic would deliver the words straight to the targets ears?

 Pose for the cameras and answer their questions briefly, it's all he had to do. Just smile and wave. "Yes, it was hard. But as always, justice prevailed" Aldrich commented on his latest successful mission, trying to sound as noble as he can, like a knight from the medieval times. Of course, it was nothing but an act, the people love it that way, easily making him an iconic superhero for many to look up to.
But as he posed for another shot, that's when he heard it. It was loud, no, it's more like everyone else toned down their noise for him to hear the voice. It was almost as if it came from his head. "Who?" He asked the paparazzi surrounding him. "Who said that again?.... May I ask?" He tried hard to keep his surprise, which slowly turned into anger afterwards. He tried to keep it in, his smile unmistakably twitching. As it appears, no one else heard it.
"Uh, yes, I must go now." He then slowly pushed through the crowd which still followed him around. He was utterly confused. What was it just then?

He waved a digit gingerly at the flocking crowd of wild enthusiasts and watched in mild interest as they quickly began to change their direction. It was like watching a herd of sheep being guided into a kennel the way they all suddenly began to guide Aldrich toward the juice shop. If he was smart the golden hero would've refrained from muscling his way through the crowd - definitely bad for business - so his only option would've been to go with the flow. "Relax, it's not that serious" the sorcerer began as the mass came to an abrupt halt outside the juice shop. An observant eye would've noticed the blank looks on the faces of the crowd. In an instant Kane had managed to strip away their will, delivering them to his very table, and it was with the flick of his wrist that the crowd swiftly scattered. Of course Aldrich was left standing, probably bewildered, where they would've dropped him off. "Take a load off, I don't want your autograph" he chuckled, waving a hand before the chair opposite his own pulled away from the table. He gestured kindly for Aldrich to sit, hoping the magic show wasn't too much for the top notch hero to handle.

Now, this was just annoying. It has never happened before, normally, the press would've just let him be. By now, he should've been in his limo, sitting at the back of his black Cadillac as he waved at the press crowding on his window. But no, now he's being carried in a wave of people.
"N-no really, I should be off..." He can bust his way through the crowd easily, yes, but that would've been a bad idea. It won't be good for his image if he were to hurt any of these paparazzi on his attempt to squirm out of the crowd, and so, he allowed them to carry him away. He was confused big time and majorly pissed. And then, they stopped in front of a man, sitting down outside what seems to be a juice shop.
With the crowd now on a halt, Aldrich was then able to squirm his way out safely. He was another one of those witches. Just looking at his face gave Aldrich a strong feeling of disgust. "What's your deal?" He hissed whilst sporting a fake smile, making sure only the man on the chair would hear what he had said.
He had to remind himself, he's still in public, hence he must continue acting all noble.

You pull a guy from the clutches of a raving mob and what does he do? He spits venom at you behind the mask of a false smile, still posturing for the lowly mortals. "You can drop the false pretenses there uh chuckles, they can't see you." Kane gestured about at the world surrounding the juice store. Those who had been running wild for a shot of Aldrich seemed to be darting to and fro in search of the famed hero. A close inspection of the ground surrounding the duos table would've shown tiny runes, glowing golden in a circle around the two. They couldn't be seen or heard. Again Kane motioned for the mighty Midas to take a seat, but whether or not he decided to sit was of no concern to the wizard. He merely wanted to chat. If time had taught him anything about the limelight it was that eventually the light dies down. In the world they lived in today heroes ran everything; they were outlets for people to envy and admire all the same. What was unfortunate was that the big time hero of today might not be the star of tomorrow, and Kane could definitely see that as a possibility for Midas the great. "Ya save a guy from a pit of leeches and he doesn't so much as offer a thank you...some people" he teased.

"Okay hotshot." He spat. His expression quickly turned into a grimace as he assured himself that no one were really able to see him. "Let's cut the crap." Aldrich walked towards the opposite side of the table and sat on the chair which the guy magically pull for him. He wasn't really sure what he wanted but he basic ideas on it.
"I don't take sidekicks, if that's what you're after." He crossed his arms and leaned at the back of his chair. If that's what Houdini here wanted, it's not happening. But there were other things on his mind as well, perhaps he has a request? Not happening either, he doesn't take any other missions aside from what the initiative gives. Not unless it's something big.
"I don't have all day. Now spit it."

If he had learned anything from his eternally disappointing life it was that all humans were the same no matter what faces they wore. Each bore a mask they revealed under certain conditions, typically whenever a certain personality trait suited them best. He'd found that often in the face of curiosity or fear they had a tendency to show their true colors, but which was Aldrich exhibiting? His obvious distaste for magic hung on the air before Kane could utter another word and yet the wizard found it highly refreshing. "Hahaha your sidekick! Now that's a new one" he blurted. Kane drew another sip from his juice, keeping his golden glare fixed on Midas' own. He'd managed to grab the heroes attention, if only for a moment and that was all he really needed to... work his magic. "I want nothing from you but to offer a hand of friendship Aldrich. I know how taxing it can be to...play a role but I'll be the friend you'll want when they turn their backs on you. When the cameras have a new hero to fawn over. I'll be there."A genuine smile crept its way across his lips and for good reason. A golden pocket watch materialized in the center of the table, but instead of telling the time it seemed to be more of a countdown. "And it looks like that day isn't too far away..."

"Hah!" Aldrich chuckled. What was this man thinking? He's got to be kidding. But upon further thinking, he might be right. Aldrich's chuckle came to a stop. His face was as straight as it can, as if he's playing a game of poker. His mind was filled with all sorts of worries, he might be on to something. He most definitely isn't dumb to disregard the possibility this witch was talking about.
"What was it... that you say your name was?" He shifted his seat and uncrossed his arms to lean forward on the table. Worry could be clearly seen on his face, as hard as he may try to mask it, it would still be clear, especially with the watch counting down. "Take that off." He hissed, shoving the watch way from him. "I don't want to see that." He was starting to sweat.
"What about it? Huh?" He asked. "Why bring this up?" He wanted answers, and he wanted it now.
