- Hunter & The Sheriff -
Managing to find some rope that he could hopefully use to tie to the back of the motorbike; if that would work. Luke found himself taking the somewhat heavy box of materials and walking outside the apartment building, to see someone who looked like they were either tinkering or planning to steal the motorbike. Dropping the box, Luke reached for his cylinder to unveil as a bow, but realized he had no arrows. Taking out his gun which still only had two bullets from yesterday he held it to the man, who had now raised his hands looking at Luke. "Step away from my motorbike," Luke ordered nodding his gun to the side. James simply smirked. "Alright, alright. Just calm down...Look, I wasn't doing anything," he explained. "I was just checking out the motorbike." Luke's face felt warmer as he tried to act cautious, still having his gun raised. "I don't care what you think you were doing. Just stay away from it, and stay away from me," replied Luke sharply, as he moved slightly closer to his bike as James with his hands raised moved back. "That's certainly going to be a hard thing to do," James earnestly noted, as his smile grew wider and Luke narrowed his eyes in confusion. Is this guy flirting with me? After just openly trying to steal my motorbike? "Are you trying to flirt with me? After just openly trying to steal my motorbike?" Luke asked, his eyes narrowing and he turned off the safety. "Maybe," James simply replied still smiling as if he was not believing that Luke could just shoot him right now. Unless he had another trick up his sleeve. "What's your name?" James asked. "Fuck you," Luke replied. "Nice name," James chuckled, causing Luke to glare at him. Trying to focus back on the situation, Luke figured that James had move far enough he couldn't cause enough harm before Luke opened fire on him. Keeping a gun raised was difficult whilst trying to tie a box to the back of a motorbike, but after using two different lengths of rope and tightening the knots; he figured it would work. He focused back on James who had been watching from a distance, with his hands raised. "I'm telling you, I wasn't stealing it." "Yeah, whatever," Luke grumbled as he got onto the motorbike turned on the engine and immediately drove off before James could open fire with that revolver of his. Taking one last glance at the mysterious character, Luke saw that James had lowered his arms by then and Luke focused back on the road, driving back to The Citadel. *
"Shit," James muttered under his breath as he spat onto the ground. In all truth, James didn't know why he didn't shoot. He could have easily used his revolver to shoot the guy, and take his key when he was too busy packing his box of whatever-the-fuck onto his motorbike. James sighed, before moving on.

- The Broker -
The two got into an elevator on the far side of the corridor, it went up. One floor up, door opened, the two continued walking, or rather one walking and one pulling himself on wheels. "People with the inability to walk can accomplish many things, both by natural means or by external forces." Inside the office, overlooking the sea, lovely place. The Broker grabbed two glasses and some high quality whisky. He poured the drinks, and went to his desk. "Fortunately I won't be in this chair for too long. Once the hospital is complete and upgraded thanks to yesterday's fundraises, I will join the queue to get out of this chair." He rose his glass. "To the city."

- Snowflake -
Snowflake's eyes flickered at Crimson's act of kindness. He was different than the rude, heartless man she'd met for the first time a few years ago, and she wouldn't get used to this side of him anytime soon. "Then I better get going." "You don't pay attention to what Felix wants." The voice whispered, and Snowflake shook her head. She rose from the bed and walked towards the doorway, picking up her coat as she walked past it. When she passed Crimson in the doorway, she couldn't help but look up and beam a cheeky smile at him. "Until next time, Crimson. Or do you prefer Tommy?"

Dominic shrugged, "Getting better, no thanks to you. Got the anesthetic out of her system and she's been on oxygen for the past day, and she's been slipping in and out of consciousness. It was strong enough to poison her severely, and we didn't have the best treatment available for inhalation of poison given that we expected to deal with gunshots." He glanced down at his tablet, looking at some medical data for Sarah, before continuing, "It was a nightmare for me when I worked in the ER to end up treating somebody, a friend, maybe family. Not only do you not want to see somebody you know and love on a hospital bed, but you don't want to fuck up the operation if you get thrown into that situation. It happened when the lab we worked at was attacked, and now it's happened again. I know the old Adrian wouldn't have made my worst dreams come true, I can't say the same about the new one." He looked behind himself, somebody was waiting outside, probably Eddie, "For the sake of yourself and those around you, I hope you get your shit together, before somebody ends up worse than Sarah."

- Hunter -
Luke pondered upon the odd meeting between him and the man, still swerving through the streets as he saw The Citadel in sight. As he paused the motorbike in front of the gate, waiting it to open; he looked around hoping to see a sign of Lilly. She must have been really busy but was distracted as he realized the gates had been opened. He drove in, and cut the engine as he parked the motorbike in front of The Citadel, and took out the keys. I guess I'll keep this. I should ask Broker if I can keep this thing. Luke began untying the knots around the box of tools and materials.

- The Kinetic Warden -
The Kinetic Warden arrived at the old Heartania Police Department building after spending the previous day tending to his wounds from the chaos that the city had erupted into. The old HPD building was a haven for the trinity of superheroes, back when the very concept was fledgling at best. The department must have been relocated sometime after the Warden was exiled, and the erection of the Tower was the final nail in the coffin. Still, the Warden was gladdened to see the underground superhero wing looked like it hadn't aged a day, despite the empty corridors and dim lights. The Warden proceeded towards his own private quarter within the wing, where he was surprised to see his old pet pigeon remained vigilant. "Cornelius... Well I'll be damned..." Clyde never cared much for history, but the recount of the application of carrier pigeons amazed him for some reason. During a time when electrical communicators were state of the art and not without faults, the Warden would often communicate through his distinctive bird companion. The Warden decided to utilize this, writing a quick letter to place between Cornelius' legs for Argent's eyes only. Argent, I would come to you myself, but I have no doubt your Tower system would deem me a threat. I may not like it, but I suppose that's how it is. But maybe it doesn't have to be anymore.
Heartania is not the same. It doesn't take you, me and Magnet to keep the peace anymore... It takes a whole host of young blood. But not even that is enough... We keep seeing that on the news. You need me more than ever.
Either you grant me access to the Tower and we can discuss things further, you come to me (at the old HQ), or I go my own way...
-Clyde (there's no point in putting my title, considering what happened all those years ago.
The Warden watched with a quiet pride as Cornelius flew out of the small hatch in his quarters, making his way to Argent Mind. - Marshal Maleficus -
From an alleyway close to the Tower, Maleficus stood, surrounded by an entourage of morphs. His hands and eyes were bathed in a purple glow as a sinister smile crept upon his lips. He had been gone for far too long. He knew that the only way to properly break the heroes was from the inside and until now he had no way of bringing that into effect. "Oh my dear Starlass, who'd have thought you would become the instrument of demise."
As soon as the last word left the Marshal's lips, he pushed his hands forward and engaged his foul ploy in earnest.
"It's good to be back."

- Alex Richardson -
Alex parked the car outside the Tower and saw Lilly parked outside. "Hey, you need to get in too?" He asked. "I need to sort something out with the goddamn chip." He hissed, twiddling the chip in his coat pocket.

Lilly finally cut the engine and got out, standing outside the gate and waiting to be let in. As she stepped outside, her attention was caught by Alex. She hadn't seemed to have talked to him since the riots, and smiled weakly as she saw him. "Yeah, I'm here to bring The Knight back to The Citadel," Lilly answered, though she turned to look at Alex over her shoulder. "What is this chip you're talking about?"

- Alex Richardso -
"Hm?" Alex replied. "Oh, I dunno exactly, that's why I'm here. Starlass gave me access to the research labs. But I'd love to do much more than that." He looked up to the top of the Tower and then replied to the doors and banged on them. "Hey!" He shouted. "What kind of heroes leave doors closed for a lady?!". He chuckled.

Lilly laughed awkwardly, at Alex's comment. "Yeah. I'm wondering if the heroes can help The Citadel and who this Knight guy is," commented Lilly as she looked up at the imposing fortress known as The Tower. She began tapping her foot impatiently; waiting for a sign of whether they were granted access or denied. She hoped it wasn't the latter.

Crimson almost blushed, "Damn. You heard. Well..." he dropped his embarrassment, "If you need anything; you know. Hope your parents don't kill you, I guess," he joked, "You can find your way out right? Its only locked from the outside."

- Argent Mind -
Argent Mind was just walking to the door when Starlass called him. "Indeed I am!" He said, walking out into the corridor to see his friend and ally. "I was just on my way downstairs. Tower Command has told me we have visitors, and I've given the all clear for them to be allowed into the lobby." He indicated the stairwell, and chuckled. "I'd take the lift but I really do need the exercise. If you accompany me down, we can talk about whatever you wish." The other advantage of the stairs was that, simply put, no one else would be using them. A chat between heroes there would be surprisingly confidential. - The Speaker -
"To the city! And to a better era, under your watchful eye." Ragno toasted, taking a draft from his drink. He smiled appreciatively of the quality. "I have to ask... How did you come by your injuries? Was it truly as the news reported? Ravager attack during an aid mission? How very dramatic!" - Reaver -
Reaver allowed a couple of losses, building her opponants confidence. Soon she would strike, and she would strike hard.

- Lady Magnet -
Raylene drove down towards The Tower. A building hard to miss in this metropolis which felt like an old itch. She'd spent so long in the country-side, With her family and children. But now, she was back and ready to join in on protecting the city once again. It was a rather short drive, surprisingly. She parked in The Towers rather spacious car park, finding no trouble getting a place for her Smart Car. Popping open the door she left her car, locking it behind her and strutting off towards The Towers entrance. Raylene was wearing a white top, with a light blue turtle neck underneath. Her trousers were white, her shoes light blue with white socks. The gates to The Tower happened to have a few people scattered on the entrance. She approached.

- The Knight -
Blake finally awoke after continually going back to sleep. He found himself in a hospital bed alone in an empty room. He looked to his stump to find it more regular in shape and free of burn scars. "Wow." Blake exclaimed to himself, "Well..." Blake claimed out of the bed and detached himself from the machines. Stood in paper clothing, he found his jeans, dress shirt and black jacket hung on the back of a door. Taking them, he changed quickly and then proceeded to open the safe that they have placed his items in: His keys and a single Knight Brace. Of course! How did he not realise that in losing his right arm he also lost the right Brace, it disintegrating along with the arm and the armour. Until he could replace it how would he transform? Luckily the people at The Tower; at least on this level, knew that The Knight was Blake O'Crowley. And so Blake exited his room and found himself in the medical wing. Not interested in whoever else was here, Blake sought Argent. Before he could enter the lower levels, he'd need to hide his identity so Blake discharged himself and took the lift to the armoury. In the armoury Blake equipped himself with a black domino mask and a coat to hide his distinctive jacket. After this, Blake took the lift to the ground floor where he inquired at the reception desk as to Argent Mind's location.

- The Sheriff -
James continued to walk down the beaten path that plagued Heartania's streets, subconsciously going in the direction of where the biker left. He put his hands in his pockets, and wondering what he could do to find his father. That was until he turned the corner only to almost run head first into an odd man. "Watch where you're going," grumbled James as he picked up his fallen hat, whilst the man simply stared at him. "You didn't happen to see a young man around here, did you? I believe he has a motorbike," The man questioned. James raised an eyebrow. "I've seen him. So what?" James rudely retorted. "I need to speak to him. But I can't be out here alone. I know it may sound odd. But will you accompany me to The Citadel?" The man asked, looking around shiftily. James stepped back, slightly suspicious. "Who are you?" James asked. The man turned from looking over his shoulder and looked at him. James took him in, he was slightly old, he had a black backpack which seemed to be weighing him down and most of his clothes seemed slightly torn. As well as this he had many bruises and a black eye. "My name is Custos, I'm looking for both Luke and Lilly Jones," The man revealed and he quickly began walking away, whilst James followed, confused.
