Sept 20, 23CL
Elise entered the city of Zaun more then a little worried about the reception she would get. She knew the city had a reputation of being rather open to those most would consider monsters but still. She was so used to being seen as and even seeing herself as such it was odd to think herself being welcomed. She wouldn't be here long regardless. She just needed to see Singed. She wasn't sure if he would even bother seeing her but she had to try.
Surprisingly the people she spoke to while a bit surprised weren't hostile. Eventually she got the information she needed and made her way to Cypher Manor. She had lived in her cave so long that the sight of the manor was quite awe inspiring. Perhaps she would try to find lodgings more fit for a queen in Noxus.
She thought of a few ways to gain access and Singed's attention but she thought that the best way to get what she wanted this time would be by being polite and simply knocking. She didn't want to sneak in and surprise him like she normally would. She wasn't looking for a fight. Just mutually beneficial alliance. She felt quite odd doing it but she knocked on the door to the manor.

Singed was working on his laboratory as always he had gotten some interesting results in Noxus and he had to quickly set in place a plan for building the weapons powered by the R-F and how to construct them without the league consent and ship them to Noxus without their knowledge.
Then the knock of the door was hear, he didn’t paid much attention probably one of the maids wouldn’t deal with the visitor he was busy after all.
Not too long his servant broke one of the most taboo rules of the mansion, never interrupt him while working “So…what is so what is so urgent that you might risk the safety of your life after all I do work with dangerous stuff in here and some of it could kills you with but a mere slip of my hand” he said coldly to the maid. “It’s…” she started to say nervously “Is a champion from the league…Elise from the Shadow Isles wants to meet you.”
Singed raised an eyebrow “That is unexpected” he raising from his chair letting his notes “Also don’t worry you did a good job calling just don’t do it again if not something as important” he said to the maid. He walked towards the living room still wearing his lab coat and he saw her sitting there the maids had already brought her tea and some snacks. “Well isn’t it a pleasant surprise? What wrings “the spider queen” into the home of this humble chemist?” He asked with a cordial tone sincerely curious of her motives to come to visit him all the way to Zaun and glad she didn’t came at a time he wasn’t in town.

She was surprised at the cordial tone that Singed used. She was sure she wouldn't be welcomed by the master chemist. She seemed to be wrong. "I'm sorry to disturb you Singed but it seems that I must throw myself upon your mercy. You are the only one that might have a chance at helping me. Of coarse I don't expect you to do it without being compensated. I'm sure that we could form some arrangement that would benefit the both of us. But I would rather not speak out here. May I come in?"
She awaited Singed's answer. She looked to be slightly nervous.

Singed raised an eyebrow it wasn’t every day that someone like Elise would put herself at his mercy much, the most strange thing about this was the fact that it didn’t seemed like a charade or like with other guests that he had have it seemed like she had run out of options. At ever curiosity won over his good judgment and he let her inside “Well please come in let me hear your story spider queen” if it really was only a charade he would deal with it anyway. He showed her the way to the living room the tea and some snacks ready for her “I suppose you are thirsty after the trip…that is if you still eat.

Elise followed Singed into the Manor. Every step she followed she thought about turning around and escaping. But where could she go? She couldn't run from death. Not this time. It felt so much like that time when she tried to cheat death by being bitten by the spider so she wouldn't die like her little brother. But what could she do when going back to the isles for the venom meant being tortured to death by the Ruined King. It was that thought that kept her moving forward. The thought that the Mad Chemist was her last chance. She wouldn't tell Azazel. He had enough to worry about.
When they finally came to a sitting room of sorts she sat provocatively on the couch out of habit. She was far to tense to think about seducing him. She drummed her fingers on the armrest nervously. She was unsure how to go about this. Many moments went by until she rushed it out of her mouth. "I need your help. I am going to die without a new dose of venom."
The mere fact that she had to come to anyone for help was embarrassing. But to have her life lie in the hands of a man. Any man was like having a fist wrapped around her heart. But here she was.

The spider queen seemed absent minded and doubtful if not somewhat scared, singed observed and studied her movements looking at her expressions determining her state of mind. For someone like her to show her “feelings” in such a clear way albeit still showing an aura of allure showed that she was desperate and her words only prove true what Singed had deduced. “Oh well…I had heard the rumors that you needed of a certain type of poison to extend your youth but I didn’t knew that it was necessary to keep living.” He said thinking “Why can’t you obtain it like usual and more importantly do you have any sample with which I might reproduce it?” He said interested in such a turn of events.

She hated how she sounded but what could she do. But it made her angry just the same. That and if this information got out it would be very dangerous to both her life and her reputation.
"Yes I need it to live. I was days from death before I took the venom. I can only assume that when the venom is out of my system I will only have days to live. The information that I need to give you is very....sensitive. You need to keep it to yourself. Do you understand?! I need your help but if you betray me on this I will make sure you suffer before I die!"
Her emotions were all over the place and she hated herself and the situation so much. She could just tell Azazel. Maybe he would help her. But she didn't want him to see how fragile her sanity and her unlife had become. For anyone to see it was bad enough but not him. She didn't want him to see her as anything but strong and beautiful.
"The only sample outside of the great spider himself is here." She pointed to herself. "The venom is in my blood."

Singed listened to her as her desperation oozed on her words and her mistrust of him were clearly stated but instead of looking at little unimportant details instead he analyzed the satiation. “So let’s see if I get it right, you encountered the spider and took its venom when you were in peril of dying and you took it to survive but now you have to take it periodically to avoid death.” He said before calmly taking a sip of his tea “Also I would assume that the venom is the one of if not THE source of your powers or at least it was what changed you into what you are now.” He said tranquilly every word she said Singed studied it and evaluated it to get a full picture of the situation. “Right now I have to travel to attend some business that I have so I would like to know if we are pressed of time to work…maybe I should take the samples now? Also I would like for you to share any and all information related to you and the spider that produces it a as any ritual related to collecting it since it might carry a clue in successfully recreating the venom.”

It was becoming hard to hide the symptoms of her disease and withdrawal. She hated seeming weak but it was becoming difficult to even stand these days. She didn't have much time at all. "That is correct. I have had to take the venom for the last 40 years to continue my existence."
Elise watched Singed closely while he drank his tea. The paranoia from her withdrawals made her distrust even Azazel. This chemist with whom she had to place her trust in was very difficult indeed and was just waiting for his betrayal. She was suspicious of the reason for his next question but she answered anyway. Every piece of information might be necessary to save her life. "I am not sure if it the only reason for it or not. I had experimented on myself quite a bit to try to stop the disease before I left for the islands. But I am fairly certain it was at the very least a large part of the cause of my powers."
His next words made her panic. She didn't have enough time as it was and he wanted to leave!? "YES! We are most definitely under time constraints. I am unsure how long I have left but it isn't much. I can already feel my mind starting to become unstable. My emotions will very soon be very volatile and soon after that I will be incapacitated entirely. Then I will die. The whole process will be done within a few weeks I fear....a month tops. I came to you first. But if you can't do it perhaps Mundo can help?"

Singed shrugged at Elise remark about maybe putting her trust on Dr.Mundo “Well if you ask for his help in the best case scenario you might end up a purple abomination unable to think straight and the worse…well in that case death wouldn’t sound so bad from your perspective...He currently is able to contain his…worse side but remember that he is a man for whose science is a tool to create pain rather than his goal” She said drinking his tea “Don’t worry as of now traveling from Zaun to Noxus doesn’t take more than a day and sadly my best equipment was…relocated to there to my dismay no matter how much I wish to start immediately currently I will only be able to take samples and analyze it to start to craft the theory to replicate it while we travel.” He seemed confident about replicating the venom before the time limit even with the time constriction and the trip though it might just be the man’s ego “I will got get the material to collect the sample and start to analyze it if you want to follow me to Noxus or stay in Zaun is up to you I WILL have the first iteration of the venom in 5 days from now.” He said leaving his coup of Tea in the table and getting up going back to his laboratory.

Singed did have a point. Mundo had a reputation of adding side effects to things that he did. But what could she do?! She hated feeling so panicked but she couldn't help it. She could hide it. But she couldn't help but feel it. She was sure someone like Singed could sense it and that made her even angrier and scared in equal measure.
"I will think about seeking Mundo out. But I must stay here for at least a day or so. I'm afraid I must tend to something in the city." The fact that she wasn't strong enough to travel was the true reason but she would die before admitting that to anyone except Azazel. He would have to know the full scope of her problem. She would do it. But she loathed to admit her weakness to him. The thought of him leaving her because of her problem terrified her more then she thought anything could. She didn't know what she would do if he left her alone in this.
"I will come to Noxus when I can. If not I will await for your return." She didn't know how to say this properly. It had been so long since she had to say things like this. "I....I will be grateful if you can do this. I will owe you a great boon. I...I don't want to die."
She hadn't thought he would actually help her. She didn't think anyone would want to help her. She hadn't exactly been a good little spider. She was a monster. But she wouldn't argue with her good fortune. He seemed confident in his success and it gave her the first hope that she would live through this. She didn't want to get her hopes up to much but she couldn't help it. She feared death so greatly and the thought that she wouldn't took some of the strain from her.
She winced as she rose as Singed got up and moved toward the laboratory. "What must I do for this?"

“Wait here I will bring the needle here…it shouldn’t take much time or hurt” he said disappearing into his lab to return with a hypodermic needle and some tubes for taking blood samples. “Don’t worry it will over soon” he said taking the blood samples taking care in not hurting the spider queen as he did so filling the small tubes. “Feel free to stay in Zaun if you wish I will return or send the venom to you using someone of my complete trust” As he said those word her put the tubes in a small container with a mini-cooler system inside. “I don’t know if you have any place to stay in here in Zaun so if you deem necessary you can stay here if not I would like to tell me the location of your place so I can deliver the new venom to you as soon as I have it.”

She did her best to remain calm. It wouldn't do to let on that she hated needles. Well being on the receiving end of them anyway. She did her best to look at anything besides the needles and the tubes filling with her blood but ended up staring at it despite herself. She wasn't sure what it was but it always made her feel weird seeing needles in her skin. Despite her distaste for it Singed was quick and careful and it was done quickly. Not fast enough for her liking but still faster then others had been way back when she had been treated when she was alive so she couldn't complain.
"I am staying just outside of Zaun with someone. I tend to cause to much trouble inside cities and I need to stay under the radar for the time being. I shouldn't be to hard to find though. Just a bit north of the city."
She watched as he finished up with the vials and stood. She hid the fact that she was feeling weak and a little dizzy. She hadn't realized how little time she had left. She would be damned if she let on to anyone just how vulnerable she was however.
"Thank you Singed. I appreciate you seeing me under such short notice. If you can fix this problem I will be indebted to you. I will make sure that you don't regret your choice to help me."

As soon as the sample taking was over her putt he tubes in the case and closed it now safe from the elements and conditions from the outside “If you say so I suppose there isn’t any reason to not let you got but if you want to stay somewhere else just to be sure you get to your destination safe and without raising as much suspicions you can use my car my driver will be waiting for you at the exit.” He said unceremoniously leaving the room once he had what he needed to star working “And I never have once regretted my decisions I’m not going to start now.”
