Nathaniel had already guessed that this Max guy was the leader around here, and he wasn't stupid enough to miss the cues that indicated he was the father of Selena's baby either.
"Coming on a little strong, don't you think?" the old warlock asked Max in a quiet but almost sarcastic tone. The man's attention was more on Selena than him, and he decided that if they were going to be this receptive, he'd start pushing buttons. "We're gonna take over Misery Valley, who are you Lex Luthor?
"And besides, last I heard the leaders of Hellmouth towns didn't have a very good track record, you really ready for that kind of attention? I mean hell, you're treating your barely pregnant lady friend like she's a leper. You can hardly handle the pressures of fatherhood, so instituting and maintaining a coupe? Should be entertaining if nothing else."

Max smirked at the old man and replied... You're an interesting one yourself. Christian see him in and have him meet me in the chambers. I want to discuss some things with him. Max turned and walked into the building. He wanted to know more about this man who was persistent...

Selena listened to Max. She couldn't help but wonder if he was gonna let him join. She went into the bedroom and to the bathroom and threw up. she went back out and went and stared out the window. *I wish this baby was out of me already* she thought. She wondered what she would be like as a mom

Nathaniel smiled just a bit, this was where things were going to start to get interesting. He didn't know this man, this Max, but he could sense power in him, and confidence. He sensed the connection between this man and Selena the moment they'd come close to one another, but that little bit of information did him no good, he wanted to know about Vellweb. He followed them inside.
"So, what is it you wanted to talk to me about eh?"

Max sat behind his desk and leaned back he then looked at him... Who are you and why do you want to link up with us? Max wanted to know more about him. It wasn't everyday someone came into their HQ and really wanted to join. It impressed him but at the same time he could tell the old man was strong. Max respected power. Max had power and knew what it took to obtain and maintain this...

"Now now let's not get ahead of ourselves. I only just found out about your group. I've been traveling for a long time, using magicks, fighting demons. I came to Misery Valley because I knew that the Hellmouth there was active." Nathaniel replied as he looked around. He thought about the monsters that had cornered him at the bus station, he'd made a lot of enemies over the years. "I don't pretend to be the altruistic hero type, but I've gotten a bit old for vendetta killing too. Hunting down demons isn't fulfilling to me anymore, I need something more.
"You're taking over Misery Valley, getting it under control before it implodes, right? That's how Selena made it out and quite frankly that sounds like my kind of crazy, hair brained scheme."

My vision is slightly different from Selena's. She wants to preserve and protect Misery from the demons and the evil. I don't care what happens honestly. I'm going to control the Misery territory the same way I control the whole Vellweb hillside area. I will become Mayor of Misery soon since he's been assassinated and from their I will manipulate the town to my liking. Now if the demons ant to emerge and wreak havoc they will be cut down. Same goes for out of control humans. I show know favoritism but I am fair. I have no vendetta against the slayers either. Max didn't mind telling him his vision. A magical nomad would be an excellent acquisition...

"But why Misery? If you're not interested in controlling the center of magical convergence then what is it about Misery Valley that attracts you more than any other city?" Nathaniel asked, he wanted to see where this was going, and in all honesty he liked this man's blunt truth and all business attitude.
"What I mean is, you seize control of Misery Valley, what then? You have control of the town that sits on top of the Hellmouth, that puts you in either a very dangerous or a very powerful position, don't you think?"

He smiles he could tell the man became interested... That's it for me. I'm a simple man with simple goals. With control of Misery I will be able to lower the crime rate and fight strong enemies because this is the median between earth and the hell mouth. Max's best goal was he had no evil motive he just wanted the chance to fight strong opponents and find out his purpose in life...

"Well, that's the kind of crazy plan I could get onboard for." Nathaniel replied. Perhaps this man wasn't the cape and tights hero, but he wanted to fight. Nathaniel had killed a lot of demons in his time, but he'd never been able to make a real impact. Vellweb was maneuvering itself into a position to fight the worst that the Hellmouth could spit out.
"I can be useful to you, to your group. I know my way around the magicks and I know how to use it to fight, to kill. Like I said, I'm no altruist, I'm not the Slayer kind of happy hero but if you're looking to take over a Hellmouth town then believe me when I say you can use me."
