Duncan needed a break he needed to get out and away from the kids. Not to mention the slightly, as he felt, crazy women of Mass Acad. Not that he’d really had to deal with them at this point but still they made him slightly uncomfortable with their ability to mind fuck him and kick his ass. Either way it wasn’t that it was intimidating just that it was annoying. Add to the fact that everyone there seemed loaded and frowned on anyone wearing less than Armani and he was ready to pull his hair out. Then again that could just his perception since he was slightly jaded where the rich and beautiful were concerned.
Oddly enough he found himself at the Emerald Necklace at about eleven o’clock at night. Duncan parked and got out. He was dressed in jeans, boots, and a snug black t-shirt with a black leather bomber jacket. What the hell he might as well enjoy the walk. In his mind this was the perfect set up for a horror flick. Maybe he’d mention that to Jamie he seemed to like filming. This late at night, not really anyone around, and what not, it was a bit spooky. He liked it but then he was always a bit of a risk taker.

The Hellions can be seen as the the little darlings of the Hellfire club. It was Emma's job to shape and mold the little brats into club material and future members, should that hellion meet the club's standards. That very reason was why Selene was even in Boston. The Black Queen had to make sure the White one was doing her job. That didn't mean that Selene wouldn't take the time out to enjoy her little trip in Boston. She wasn't in any hurry to see Emma...at all. She loathed the woman period.
Now an hour away from midnight, Selene found herself standing in the park, a black gown draped over her very figure. Inhaling deeply to take in a breath and enjoying the night's gentle breeze.

Duncan had thoroughly been enjoying this little jaunt. It was quiet kind of cold but he didn’t care about that and just great for clearing one’s mind. His mind was empty yet occupied at the same time, meaning he had a lot to think about but couldn’t nail anything down. Which would explain why he nearly didn’t see the woman in black. Now for most people he was still a good distance away, but for him he got to close. Standing about a hundred yards away from her he could see her clearly. Dressed all in black, beautiful, yeah this was going to be trouble.
The man dropped his head and sighed. He was many things but not a complete dick so he couldn’t just leave her out here without finding out if she was alright. The woman could probably handle herself or she wouldn’t be out here…. At night…. Alone. Oh freaking hell this does have horror flick all over it. Only it’s one of those ones where the idiot guy is the main target and the beautiful woman is the evil succubus from hell. Freaking hell he needed to lay off those B rated horror flicks when Halloween comes around. It hadn’t been that long ago since Halloween so they were still fresh in his mind. Finally he approached the woman and cleared his throat. ”Excuse me, do you need any help or are you good?” If she were good he could get the hell out of there before she kicked his ass for even thinking she couldn’t handle herself.

”Excuse me, do you need any help or are you good?”
She sensed that someone else was approaching and the voice sounded masculine. She was feeling a bit hungry....perhaps a little snack of energy would suffice. She turned to him in an elegant matter, the breeze flowed gently to lift up her raven strands of hair, carrying the scent of her perfume towards the man that stood before him.
"I'm am quite fine." Selene responded as a smirk curled on her lips. "May I be of any assistance to you? Or shall I ask what a gentleman like yourself is doing walking around here alone at this time of night. Things could get quite dangerous."

Duncan watched the woman turn towards him and caught the scent of her perfume. Hell and damnation why did it always have to be him? This really was turning into an eerie night and the way the woman looked and was looking at him didn’t make him any less uneasy. He was just trying to be polite, for once, like his mama raised him to be. Well not quite for once, usually at first meeting he is rather polite and their reactions to him cause him to react and sometimes it can downright mean and dirty.
He went to tip his hat only to forget he wasn’t wearing it at the moment. ”Well as long as both of us aren’t in need of assistance then I guess I’ll be on my way.” What was he doing out here this late? Trying to enjoy some quiet time. ”Just enjoying the evening and yeah, I know there’s a lot of dangers out here.” He wondered how far under the danger category this woman fell. He wasn’t stupid hell his boss could take him down if she felt like fucking with his head. He just wondered what this one could do and how much danger he was really in.

"Oh...leaving so soon?" she said with mock disappointment, though she would be kind of disappointed if this nice snack, I mean man were to slip through her fingers. She was rather surprised and offended a gentleman like himself would slip up the chance to speak to a beautiful woman such as herself. Either he was afraid, busy, or just gay. She did come off as intimidating sometimes. Maybe she'd have to tone down the creep factor and reel him in.
"Please, no need to be in such a haste. I could use your company and your protection, should any danger arrive. Or has it already? Should I be weary of you?" she smiled putting a bit more gentleness into her tone and strolled over to a near by bench to sit and motioned for him to do so as well. "If I may please ask for your name, kind sir?"

Duncan looked the woman up and down and knew knew she was trouble. "Just passing through and thought I'd see if you needed anything." He didn't care for the look in her eyes or the fake way she was acting. He wasn't as stupid as so many people thought he was. The idiot playboy, flash a little boob or leg and he was your bet for life. Hell no the man knew better. The fact that she was out here alone and looking like something out of a vampire flick kept him on high alert. He just hoped she didn't have any kind of ability to force him to do what she wanted.
"Something tells me you are a strong enough woman to deal with any danger. No there is no danger where I'm concerned. At least not tonight." He was stuck and he knew it, something told him she might not let him get away just yet. He leaned against a tree closer enough to talk normal but not close enough for her to grab him. "Duncan, ma'am. And you are?"

"Ah, Duncan, very pleased to meet you." Selene smiled back to the gentleman as she crossed her legs and poked out a little bit of hip. It was amusing to her how he was acting...yes, he was definitely scared. She could smell the fear, despite how much he tried to suppress it. It was rather cute.
"I am Selene. It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Mr. Duncan. You seem familiar...I've seen you before. You don't by any chance work for the academy, do you?" she asked him out of pure curiosity. The Hellfire Club had received files on the newest edition to the academy's teaching staff and he looked similar to one of the men's pictures in the report.

His head nodded to her. The man hadn't survived all these years without listening to his and knowing when to be a bit afraid and when to just laugh it off. She was too damn confident in herself to be someone to laugh off. Kind of reminded him of his boss only more so. If that was any indication he was fucked up the ass with a red hot poker about twelve inches thick.
"Same, Ms. Selene." Vivid blue eyes narrowed slightly. He'd never seen the woman at the academy and wasn't sure he liked her knowing even that much about him. But then there was no reason to lie since she already knew. "How'd you know?" He figured that answered her question for her. He really didn't like people he didn't know knowing about him.

Lifting a hand gently to her cheek and releasing a light chuckle at his question. Though this also put a bit of a cramp in her plans. She'd never hear the end of it from the other members, especially Emma if she were to drain the life of one of the precious teachers responsible for raising their darling little hellions.
"If I must explain myself, I am The Black Queen of the Hellfire club. Although Ms. Frost is the headmistress, we also over see everything that happens at the academy. So we're always notified of the additions and terminations of Academy staff. You're one of the recent instructors to lend your talents to educate our students. We are most grateful." she smiled.

One dark brow arched at her explanation. "Never heard of it. So that's a fancy name for the board of directors?" He doubted it but he asked anyway. Information was key when it came to understanding what in the hell you were getting into. He still didn't move from his spot next to the tree something about the woman just set off his warning instincts. With a tortured sigh he headed over to the bench, techincally the woma was also his boss so he better play nice for now anyway.

She was nearly caught off guard. This man was employed at the school and had no clue about the society that over looked it? She chuckled again and adjusted her dress a little bit more to straighten out the wrinkles and sighed. "Well, I suppose you can say that. So if I may ask, what exactly was it you did before this and what led you to teaching at our academy, hm?"

Blue eyes never left hers as she adjusted the dress. Whether that was her intent or not he wasn't going to look. "Military. That would have been in my file. Not much I can tell you beyond that other than sniper training." He really couldn't and wouldn't go into his life in the military some things were just better left buried and that chapter in his life was one of them. "What do you actually do?" It was only fair since she was asking about him. His mama raised him right so no matter how badly he wanted out he was stuck here.

"Military? Interesting, means that you're built strong." she nodded, becoming intrigued by this new acquaintance. "Well, actually, funny you should mention that. I've been sent by the club to check up on how things are going at the Academy. Just a little inspection to make sure that Ms. Frost and her faculty are continuing to do a fine as they have been with our students. Can't wait to see what you've been teaching our darling little hellions." she smiled.

Duncan smirked a bit. "Had to keep in shape and be smarter then they gave me credit for." He was going to have take this at face value. Didn't mean his guard was coming down but he would at least chat with her until had a reason to do otherwise. He nodded as she spoke at least she was giving information back. He snorted at her last comment. "Can't teach them if they don't show up for class. I think I had.... three students show up if that. But I teach anatomy and physiology." The gig wasn't a bad one he just wondered if the staff was their solely for babysitting duty though.
