- The Dark Hawk - "Why are we waiting out here?" Allyana said. The Knight was about to reply before being interrupted by a new guest. The girl had white hair and a guitar. Confused, Allyana may have come across as rude with the few words that spilled out of her mouth. "And you are?"

- La Mirage - Jade looked at the Broker with a stunned facial expression. "How did you? Wait, what just happened?" She shook her head violently; completely ignoring the fact that Shade had just regrown her arm. He just became one of the most powerful people in the city, if not the most powerful person in the city. She stared at him with a pair of yellow irises, then tilted her head and spoke with a confused voice. "What do you need us for?" Her eyes flickered, and blurt out another question before the Broker could answer. "And why- No, HOW did you fake your own death?"

- Sin Shaman - Sin-Shaman let out a low chuckle at the small, flattering remark. She glanced back to the girl as they continued their hike through the wrecked streets. "Even with these legs? Oh my, I appreciate the sentiment. However, don't forget that 'tis not I who can transform into beautiful creatures or beasts." she replied, emphasizing how unique Black Bird's ability was. She wondered what else the girl possessed within her. - The Zap - Michael was utterly stunned, in a comedic way, when he saw his ball of lightning be absorbed by his assaulter. His shoulder slumped, he cocked one eyebrow up in surprise, and he tilted his head as he let out a dissatisfied "eh?" "Y-you are really getting on my nerves, ya' Lightning Sponge Bitch!" Michael spat out, getting obviously aggravated by the biting cold and the woman's coy attitude. He turned around and hopped over the meridian, ducking below it into the snow as cover. It seemed that Charm was an aficionado of electricity as well. She could discharge it and absorb it, from Michael's observations. Meanwhile, Michael could generate and utilize it. This would be an interesting fight, he could only charge her up if he attacked her. His speed was also affected by the ice and cold, he felt slow and almost clumsy. Yet Michael did not regret his actions...he felt oddly energized by the situation.

- The Broker - Both females were a little shocked at the transmission, which was rather odd. THe position allowed him a little more freedom, but still put a weight on his shoulders. "With Wild Card figuring out my base of operations, I knew I had to move. It's a shame that he found it on a hitch but it also meant vulnerability. I couldn't afford that." He coughed. "I look a look at possible places I can keep secure, and it so happened the most viable one was The Citadel on the other side of the hills, but someone will bound to notice, even will my network." He poured himself a soft drink, calmed him. "The High Council voted to disband the council and place someone of their choice into power. I simply manipulated the message to put me in that role. But it won't be enough. I need more connections, I need more tools, I need more options, I need all the help I can get." He finished his drink. "The fire of the night may be out, but the control of this city has been lost to criminals and misguided opportunists. The heroes need to focus on their tasks, and the city's infrastructure should not be their job to maintain." He placed his glass back. "The night has taken a toll on me, stress, pain, and just seeing Cla--" he stopped in his tracks as he tried to not think about it, too much pain, even if the situation was surreal. "I need people with a clear mind to help me make the right decisions....I want you to become my inner circle." Jade had burst out with some words, though her last question was striking. The Broker leaned back and smiled, before looking at Alex. "You remember the guard I 'shot'? He was wearing a combination of body armor, blood packs, and some good meat to add to the realism. You and I were wearing the same thing during that robbery. When we went to Pacify Hills, you took your gear off, but I didn't. I had to observe a possible meeting place, but it was clear we wasn't going to come out on top." He drank another glass. "So I armed myself and informed Monica Johnson. She gathered some officers, including a few under my lead. When Paige set his trap, I made sure your family was out and safe. I fired, the mouse fired, and I allowed some relaxant to act. Motionless, you'd mistake me for a fresh corpse, and that's what happened. I arrived at the morgue, and sliced open Paige's heart in the autopsy myself, just to make sure." He finished the glass. "I will admit my last words were pathetic, and it was a well executed plan." He gave a light chuckle.

- Raven / Acchilleus - "Right, I'll call your friend. But what's the plan? I mean where do we go from here?" Lilly asked, somewhat curious as she fiddled around with her phone, staring intently at The Broker as she listened to his actions that led him to become perhaps the most powerful man in the city. Acchilleus had lounged around his home, taking a quick shower, grooming himself and placing on a new suit he had bought a week before his departure from Heartania. Anger still boiled through him as he left his home, and entered in his limousine, which was parked and waiting outside. "Did you find it?" Acchilleus asked, as he glanced at the driver in the rear-view mirror. The driver gulped. "No sir, I don't know where it is," The driver replied, fear laced their words. Acchilleus only sighed in disappointment. "Fine. Drive towards this 'Tower', I want to know the meaning of this," Acchilleus sharply responded, as the driver simply nodded and the car found itself driving towards the Tower.

- La Mirage - Jade frowned, feeling humiliated that she'd fallen for the Broker's trick and slightly disgusted that he'd sliced open Paige's heart. I can't believe this guy. I almost lost my mind again because of him! If only he knew. She suppressed a wave of anger underneath her smile, yet her eyes showed a tint of orange as she spoke with a smooth voice. "..Next time, give me a heads up." She paused, giving herself some time to calm down, before she spoke again. "Inner circle?" She toyed with the thought. I've got to make a decision. It could turn out to be fun... but what about my family? I guess they won't be in danger again, at least not as long as he's on the top. Jade weighed her words carefully. "..I'm in. But," she nailed her eyed in his, "if you ever step out of line, or set people's lives in danger despite our advice, what do you expect us to do? Stop you?"

- Starlass - Starlass arrived at the Tower to find the small group of people waiting outside. Knight, she'd expected, having received his transmission, but the three women with him were more unannounced. Allyana, the girl who had 'saved the day' at the bridge, and another whom she hadn't yet met. Nevertheless, it was good to see the them still alive and active. She landed in the street nearby, calling out to them. "Good morning! It's good to see you're all well. I'll just get these doors open, then we can get inside and sort out our next move." She turned to the girl keeping her distance from the group, the one she didn't recognise. "Greetings. I am Starlass, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Aspiring hero, I assume?" - Ares Warbander - Ares lifted his hands away from his weapon to show he meant no harm. "I understand your hostility. I doubt you need me to introduce myself, but manners can go a long way. I am Ares, and as you know I was chieftain of the Warbander Clan who attacked your group earlier this night. I no longer hold that title, and was sent here by the one known as 'Pathfinder' in order to repay my debt to your people, and make amends for the damage I caused. My body is at your disposal, but your leader commands that you may do anything to exact vengeance other than kill me." He paused, caution in his eye. Pathfinder was clearly a wise leader to some degree, but he doubted his followers would be so merciful. Hopefully, that introduction would convince the guard not to shoot him on the spot.

- The Broker - He turned towards Lilly. "Right now we're heading towards The Citadel so I, and any one of you, can get settled in with anything you may want, need, or anything else." He turned to Jade. "Which also means more time to look for your cousin" he said, smiling lightly. But then Jade asked a question he was a little afraid to answer. He leaned back into his chair, and reached into his jacket. A pistol, the same one he used to take down Paige, still loaded. He offered it to Jade and said "One to the chest, one to the head." - Frequency - McCall was a little preoccupied with some tired fans gathering around her. It was clear they were exhausted and worried, but with her around it lightened up the spirits. She had a brief chat, drank some water, and signed some stuff before they left in a giddy. She walked up to the heroes and giggled a little. "Well this is surprising" before laughing a little more. "Natasha McCall, or Frequency if you want to call me that".

- Salvatore Ragno - Salvatore Ragno read over the reports of City damage. It had been easy to get the information forwarded it him, what with loyal men working for him in many unimportant places. As it was, Heartanina was battered but not broken. Reaver had amused herself, but as a plan it had been sadly lacking in subtlety. With a sigh, he began to work out a plan to use the situation to his advantage, when a call came up from below. "Sir, there's something you should see. Channel one." Ragno, intrigued, switched in the television in his office. What he saw made him smile, despite himself. "Now, this is interesting..." - Hammerfist - Jason sat down, shaking his head. The Broker was a difficult man to know. You never knew what he was doing. "Hey Jas! There's something going on!" A call from one of his siblings . Jason wandered over and froze, watching the television screen. Yes... You never knew what he was doing. Not ever.

- Raven - "Can we stop at my brothers apartment on the way? I need to pick him up," Lilly informed as she looked back at The Broker. Her foot tapping against the floor, as Lilly found herself impatiently hoping that she could finally meet with Luke.

- The Broker - The Broker looked back at Lilly before directing his voice towards the driver. "You heard her, take us to his apartment" he said, and the driver nodded and turned in a different direction. "I'm going to need to act and broker deals if this city is going to return to a fully functioning state. Downtown, East City, Industrial Heartania, The Quarter, Central, Pacify Hills, and let's not forget that bridge and the airport. That's why I need your help." He leaned back. "I need to talk to some people from the Tower so we can discuss ways to get that bridge back into a stable state, then I have to rebuild the police headquarters and hospital, which means money." He turned back to Jade. "I need to talk to your father, Sarah Elliott and...." he tilted his head down. "....and Ragno. I need to make a financial deal with them". He almost regretted his words, but it was something he had to do. The car pulled up, and the door opened. "Here we are Lilly".

- Starlass - Starlass reached out her hand to shake the girl's. "A pleasure to meet you, Fear. Come inside and we'll evaluate your abilities." she grinned, trying not to show how worn out she was after the night's conflicts. She changed the frequency on her communicator, tuning in to Tower security. "This is Starlass. Reaver is, as far as we know, dealt with. End the lockdown, and return to usual duties." "Roger that, ma'am." answered the guard on the other end of the line, and the thick steel shutters sealing the Tower's entrances and windows slowly opened. Starlass climbed the steps and opened the large glass door for the group behind her. "Do you four need rooms to stay in? I can get them organised for you if you like."

- La Mirage - Jade's eyes widened in concern, rather than surprise. She hesitated but reached out for the gun, which disappeared as soon as she got it in her hand. She leaned back against the seat and placed a hand on Shade's forehead. "Got it." She tilted her head to look out the window while several thoughts went through her mind, then looked back at the Broker. "..but what about Shade? And where's Mira and Ftangr? Shade wouldn't leave her."

- Harvey Hare - Harvey awoke in the street as he heard talking further down the ally way, forcing himself up from the floor cracking his back as he slept really awkwardly in the street, he moved closer to the entrance of the alleyway as the bright sun was hitting him in the face he saw three figures one with white hair and an object in their hand and another looking like a huge robot "do you mind keeping it down, some of us have bigger problems today" he said rubbing the sleep out eyes

- The Dark Hawk - "Well that was easy." Allyana said, stunned by the sudden appearance of Starlass. She completely ignored the man behind her as the large steel doors had opened and behind was the Tower. Looking back at him, she figured somebody else would sort him out. She'd only been inside the Tower once and doing that she'd opened a dark portal to get in. She'd never been to the lobby and it was still incredible. She replied to the question Starlass asked, "No thanks," Allyana said, "I've still got my own place in tact. However, I am here to help out in anyway I can. I mean surely there's gonna be a big city clean up project right? And can somebody sort out that guy over there?"
