[Stryker]

The ruckus among the border had been out of control lately, but luckily The Typhoon hadn't had the unfortunate circumstance of touching their land just yet. Even so, The Pitt was a viable threat. Upon hearing the commotion, the Kingpin took it upon himself to freeze in his spot. Perked ears tuned in to the soft crooning of a female, almost begging for mercy. That voice was oh-so familiar though. Someone close to his fellow feline too.

Stryker's mental manipulation tuned into Atticus' head as he grew closer, echoing out one quick word to bring the Pittian's worries to a halt. The feline froze on top of the intruder at the border as he sauntered over, slitted eyes observing the situation at hand carefully. His paw lightly pushed at Atticus' side. The hypnotized being stepped away, giving room for Stryker's unsheathed paw to settle upon Sweeney's upper chest and hold her down with ease. His head craned. "Now, what will we do with you, little birdie?" he cooed. The lion stared for a moment, only to determine her fate moments later.

A green gaze continued to look down into her eyes. His pupils widened as he entered Sweeney's head and crawled around inside her thoughts. Something caught his attention though. As he scrolled through her memories, one particular moment caused him to smirk. Was it true? She was a Callahan? Stryker's wicked gaze peered deeper into her soul, picking at her brain and finally delving further to take control of Jervis' living child. 'Join him, join us,' a calming voice echoed in her mind. As he said his final words, he pulled away with a subtle cackle.

'Achieve what your father didn't.'
