Aria rubbed her wrists they weren't sore but it was just one of those things that you did, it was a reflex, it was good to be free. Ascendancy had moved away, she wouldn't have tried anything even if he hadn't, but she wondered how much he believed her and how much he actually doubted her. No one ever believed until they experienced themselves. Usually, they didn't inflict such torture on others, but no one had ever had the power the Ascendancy had.
Aria stood up and looked at Simon, he watched her with curiosity. It should have been fear. Aria took a deep breath, trying to decide what exactly she should do to prove it. The name of this game was survival, what would ensure she survived to live another day. Seduction was easy, it worked better when there was a spark to work on. And it was hardly any fun really. At least not for the darkness inside. It hovered on the edge of her vision - wanting, almost thrumming with need to kill this man. To inflict upon him the joys of her life - the nightmares of others, their loves, and joy, their sadness and hatreds.
Aria turned to Ascendancy and smiled. "Proof..."
She turned back to Simon. He was not unattractive as far as men went, but he was nothing to her. She smiled sweetly up at him and he just looked at her with curiosity. She could feel his emotions wondering what was going on. What was she proving to the Ascendancy. Aria held out her hand palm up. "Give me the pass code you used on my cuffs."
Simon looked at Aria then to Ascendancy, Aria didn't know what the other man did she just smiled at Simon and reached up with one finger on her right hand and ran it down his cheek and pushed every desire she'd ever felt to please, to serve, of every willing member of the base into the man. Their desire to serve and obey their superiors. It didn't have to be sincere, it just had to be an emotion. Aria smiled as her finger trailed down the side of the man's face. His eyes widened and, in that moment he was hers. She smiled at him, "Give me the passcode."
There was no hesitation, he dug in his pocket and handed the small slip of paper from his pocket and placed it in the palm of her open hand. Aria closed her fingers around it. Getting it had only been a ploy to prove she could do what she wanted with him. She whispered to him. "Do you wish to please me?"
He nodded and Aria smiled wider, the darkness was full inside her, she could feel its need and she put her hand to his face again and pushed his fears into him, she gave him her darkest fears, and anyone else's close enough to pull from. She could have given him everything but she wanted him to cower in front of her like a dog who'd been beaten. The big strong man that had kept a watch over her and the others, the thought of them pulled at her as the man fell to his knees cowering, he tried to pull away. Aria only had to send a desire to do her bidding again and he stayed his place as fear wracked his body.
Memories of Father Stone in the exact position pushed at him, the man cowering at her feet before Tehya had walked in. Aria could almost feel the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth from where Father Stone had struck her. The power over him was intoxicating, Aria remembered feeling the same way when she had been with Dane. She closed her eyes and let the memories flood in.
With the dark memories, others came - ones to counter her darkness. Lucas holding her. Nox fighting with her. Connor resisting her attempts. The Irijaq's death with the help of Giovanni and Jensen. Even her encounter with her savior brought her back. They were why she was here now. Not Dane, no matter how strong the draw. Aria pulled her hand away from the cowering man.
He backed away from her in fear and Aria could only smile. She smiled through the darkness, "Too much and he'll suffer a painful death. I imagine it's something akin to a heart attack, dying of fear."
Aria tried not to sound like she would enjoy that very thing, but she was sure she failed the attempt. "The effects usually wear off after a time. I cannot permanently change a person unlike my father. A willful person can thrawt my attempts altogether or break free of my control."
She smiled, "He was not very strong of will."
She turned to Ascendancy. "Do you need more proof?"
Aria placed the slip of paper in her hands with the passcode on the table without looking at it. She pushed it towards Ascendancy to indicate she didn't really care about it.
