Even paradise could become a prison if one had enough time to take notice of the walls
welcome to Dire Tactics
Oddities are individuals born with extraordinary gifts. Because of this they are hated, feared and generally persecuted across the globe. In an attempt to give them a refuge the billionaire Theodore Ashford has created Ashford Isle. Presented as a Sanctuary for the special some believe their to be much darker motives behind his generosity.
Ashford Isle
A state of the art city powered completely by renewable energy, gorgeous modern building erected against the backdrop of a tropical paradise. It has all the luxuries modern technology can afford accompanied by the natural beauty and serenity only nature can provide. This city is open to all Oddities and their families, along with several hundred A.R.I. employees, it boast a modest population of just over 5,000 individuals consisting of a mix between both human and oddity. This wonderful utopia however is shaded in mystery both metaphorically and literally. The United Nations have dispatched several fleets of O.S.E. ships near the island, this gives the coastline a ominous view.

He had figured the best way to fully explain this to Cami was to take her to Greece and let Carter do all the talking while he practiced his magic, their magic, magic in general. He had left his four kids with Cami with Amber and made sure she was paid more than enough. "Guys, am I not rocking this suit though?" He looked so damn fashionably good. "It's the pants for me, what do you guys think?" he said as he looked at them. "Oh come on guys don't be mad, how can I look this fucking good if the both of you are mad at me? This magic is going to be amazing," he said as he pulled out the beakers. "I am even keeping it carefully contained." Oh yes, Taylor was so so much more aware now. Dr. Carter Q.

"Cami," he said as he noticed the contained magic and looked at Taylor. "Wow, magic is actually with you." Should they be worried about that, he had to focus on one thing at a time as he turned back to Cami. "Cami we need to talk to you and we need you to remain calm." He did move away from her just in case she started anything though by putting himself behind Taylor. "Actually you know what since Taylor is looking so good and what not, I think he has more to tell you about the baby." Carter did take the time to wipe off his sweater as he looked at them. "Greece is one of my favorite places, it's just so different from everywhere else I have been lately." Dr. Cami Q.- CarterDr. Taylor Quinzell

While she was proud of Taylor, looking at him and Carter she now realized that they had did something that just the two of them could not handle. "What did you mess up?" she asked as she watched Carter. "No, Carter do not hide behind him. There is nothing that your little warlock can do to prevent me from hurting you should I choose." Here she thought she could trust them. Give them their time and that they would learn how to play properly and yet here we were. "I'm not helping you fix it," she said to them. "Also Taylor give me that magic you still are not experienced enough to realize what you may or may not do and tell your muse to stop hiding," she said as she looked at him. "Whatever you messed up, leave me out of it." Dr. Taylor QuinzellDr. Carter Q. Stratin

"First of all, let me start this off by saying that the two of you need to go get fitted for your suit and dress when you find the time. Second off, no worries about these," he said as he carefully looked at Carter. "Where's that confidence?" he said as he looked at him and took a minute to straighten his jacket as he walked between the two of them. "He's still scared of you Cami," he said as he looked at his wife. "Look Cami, you're having a girl and I, we," he said as he looked at Carter and then went on "know this because we've met her and well she's on the island too but Carter has guaranteed me that as long as the two of you do not have a run in, it will be fine." He put the beakers up and smiled at them. "Now we need food. I'm not cooking today so whatever you guys want is on the menu. Also Carter anything else that you feel free to add," he said as he smiled at him. "Come on don't be shy." Dr. Carter Q. StratinDr. Cami Q.- Carter

He took a minute and he decided to go and sit in front of Cami and then he spoke. "It is a mostly full proof plan," he said. "The most important thing for the sake of everything is simply for you to remember that you need to stay completely relaxed as you carry our daughter." He did not want her stressed out and he was not sure what she would do knowing the information that she now knew but he was still okay with it. "I am going to do everything that I can to keep her here Cami, and after she is born it should be okay for the two of you to meet." He believed she had sought him and Taylor out for a reason. "She might end up needing all three of us to say the least especially if she decides to stay." Dr. Cami Q.- CarterDr. Taylor Quinzell

She looked at the two of them and she was thinking about what to say when the truth was that she found herself completely baffled and out of words so she simply laughed. "Wow, guys if you wanted to pull a prank on me you did not have to bring me all the way to Greece." She knew that each of them had a wicked sense of humor in there own way but this was crazy. "You do realize that you both sound insane right?" Maybe it was them who needed to be in Avery's program. "Look I know that the two of you have been under a good bit of stress but even that is a bit of a stretch, besides this is a boy. I keep telling you both and considering that I had to have that ultrasound by myself, I know what a dick looks like," she said as she pulled her purse out and showed it to them. "Look, right there," she said as she showed it to the both of them. "That's a penis," she said as she looked at it again to make sure. "Look how about we just use magic to do an ultra sound right here so that the two of you can stop going around with this nonsense and get that young lady back to her home?"

He thought about it and then smiled. "That sounds good to me," he said. "However Cami be honest have you told Carter about the time jump that you and I experienced? We did that," he said as he picked up her ultra sound picture and he looked at it. He turned his head as he examined it and walked away from them. The ultra sound looked very familiar from all of his other wife's ultra sounds as he turned back to them. "You know what Cami, I think you need to see something," he said as he went and stood behind Cami in case she started flipping out. "Baby this is a girl, look right there, that's not a penis, that is a thumb, that area right there would make it her leg and that right there means that, the boy that you think that you are carrying is a girl," he said as he gave her a comforting rub on her back. "Baby, you're carrying Tayla but listen, we are here to be your support system, just let it all out," he said as he looked at her. "I think Tayla coming through and you sending Jacob and Gillian, made that boy you want so much become a girl. Tayla started her own birth, I do so love ripple effects." Dr. Carter Q.

He took a second and he nodded. "Must have changed when she came through but no worries we are going to always be good by this and Cami when it does get to the point where you can meet her, I think that you will enjoy it." He smiled. "Life is a journey right and now with Taylor," he paused. "Only playing with magic in his spare time it's going to be even better." He did want food. "I do want food so we can pick something, it's been a while since I have had any of the food here." He looked at Cami again. "Time jump, it was fun wasn't it?" That had been his favorite part so far. He still did not know if he could trust her to not be upset so he still stayed a good distance. "Did you not enjoy it even just a little bit?" Dr. Cami Q.- CarterDr. Taylor Quinzell

She rolled her eyes and then took her ultrasound picture back. They were driving her up a wall as she looked at them both. "The both of you are going to fix this and then you both are going to be good from now on. Carter, I expect this from Taylor but you," she thought he was to be the sensible one but she was wrong. "A few little dick down sessions with your boyfriend husband and now you're just as bad?" She took a second. "No matter look between the two of you this should be able to be handled and I need to just relax. This baby, Tayla as you say is super active at the moment." Dr. Taylor QuinzellDr. Carter Q. Stratin

"She gets that not sit down from me," he said proudly. What kind of food did he want, he was still thinking. "Don't be rude to him Camila," he said as he hugged Carter and then smirked at him. "She did not mean it, baby. She's just intimidated by you which is what I was hoping you two would work out with your time together." It was okay though. "We will handle it, we can handle it," he said. "Ooh Greek Salad?" Yes. "Wait is this where they stuff the grapes into something?" he asked as he walked, leaving his bag. "Come on guys."

Carter paused a second and shook his head at Taylor as he took Cami's hand. "Come on, we're going this way he will be okay," he said as he lead her in the opposite direction. He needed a few minutes to talk to her and to get himself away from Taylor in that outfit before he attacked him. "Look I know that you are not completely on board with this but you can trust me," he said. "Plus look how much better Taylor is now. I am not sure if it is safety pins or thumb tacks on his outfit but he is wearing the hell out of it. Plus look around and let Greece calm you, it's known for that effect."

She took in a breath as she went with him. "I can smell your lust for Taylor," she said jokingly. "I do trust you, I trust him I would not enter into something that I did not trust into but that magic, Carter that magic is powerful." She took a second to breathe again. "I'm not sure that the baby is not pulling at it either and yes Taylor is so much better but you do see him right? He's carrying it around in beakers Carter that means he's messing with it a lot." She was scared for him for once. "Fuck, I'm hurting," she said as she bumped into Carter and felt herself look up as she looked at herself. "Carter?, Taylor?" that was it, she needed to get this baby out as soon as possible. Dr. Taylor QuinzellDr. Carter Q. Stratin

"Oh crap," he said as he looked around. Thanks to the 'magic' he could sense the change as he grabbed a flashlight and took off running, but he could feel them both and they were pulled into three different directions, as he stopped and caught himself from falling. He had to remain calm as he sat down in the middle of the ground and closed his eyes as he spread his arms out. He went quiet and for once listened to his body, more specifically his heart. "Oh why, why do we keep messing with this magic?" Fun is why. Excitement, Addiction perhaps. Dr. Carter Q. StratinDr. Cami Q.- Carter

He turned the corner and slammed right into Taylor as he looked at him. "Is this what I get because you chanted over me?" he asked. He was trying to keep it together. "Look at my hair and this terrible color," he said. "I don't know where Cami is," he said. He took a second to run his hands through his hair though. "This feels kind of nice actually." It was like silk. "Run your hands through it one time, also this is why she keeps telling you to not mess with the magic. Who knows where she is at now?" He shook his hair. "I'm so hot, I can see why you are attracted to me." Dr. Cami Q.- CarterDr. Taylor Quinzell

She wanted nothing more than to kill them both as she pulled herself down and looked around. She was still so ever pregnant and in so ever much pain which she did not like as she sat down against a table. "Look you little flipping baby, if you had anything to do with this you need to stop it now because we are people who already have plans and the last thing that you are going to do is mess with them."
