- Shade - Shade frowned, not that anyone could see it. "Jade. You should probably take someone like Jason along with you." She advised cautiously. "You don't want to be caught alone, not under these... Circumstances." She walked to the door, brushing past Claudia lightly. "Where do you want me to drop off your request?" - Reaver - "Wild Card says he has a job for us, and he's normally a pretty good employer. He and I go way back, so if he's got something for me, it'll likely be good." She explained with a grin. "I'm still waiting on a time-confirmation for the meeting, but it'll be at the Casino. After that, we can see if we can find some new ladies to act as our subordinates. With Ferny gone, we can set about recruiting."

- Hunter & The Sheriff - "Wow," replied Luke simply as James had finished his story. James simply nodded in agreement with how dumbfounded Luke was by all the things that James had been going through. "So that's why you came to Heartania?"" James nodded, he had finished his food by now and was drinking the remainder of his coffee. Putting the cup down roughly on the table, James looked back up to Luke. "Yeah, so that's why I went to The Broker, since he's running things now," explained James, looking over at the waitress who was busy taking some more orders. "And from the looks of it doing a shitty job." Luke shrugged. "Yeah," replied Luke. "So you mentioned you could control fire, right? What other powers do you have?" James sighed. "Well I guess that's really it, other than this," started James before he pulled out his revolver and put it on the table. "It's my revolver, and no you can't use it. I mean that literally. It always comes back to me and I have no idea how it works but it comes in handy." James put the revolver back in its holster. "What about you?" "I can hack technology and sense things better, that's really it," noted Luke before he stopped James as he opened his mouth. "Oh yeah and a sort of new power, which is controlling water. Though I'm not really any good at it." "Those sound cool. If you can sense things better, then you could make a great detective," said James, smiling, Luke sort of chuckled to himself. "Well, it's not as cool as being able to control fire, but thanks. Besides itt's not really what I use it for. I normally just use it for freerunning, I can calculate angles of jumps and the best directions and paths on the rooftops," explained Luke, though he did almost shudder at the times his senses and reactions saved him and stopped him from doing terrible things. "It's come in handy." "Freerunning? You mean that thing where people just run on rooftops and stuff?" questioned James, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah. You've never done it?" asked Luke. James shook his head, smiling as he realized what that would prompt Luke to do, and he was correct and Luke suddenly stood up. "Okay, that's it. I'm going to show you freerunning, come on." James sighed and pulled out a twenty dollar note and placed it on the table, before following Luke outside.

- Argent Mind- Argent Mind stood in the command centre of the Tower, and shook his head. "No sign of Cooper or Maleficus?" He asked, and frowned at the negative response. It was quite clear that the cruel marshal was planning another terrible plot, and he was likely not alone out there. Villains hid in every shadow, and many dark deeds would soon fall. He sent a message to all Tower heroes, telling them of the unfortunate events, and to keep their eyes open. Today would likely be no more quiet than those previous.

- Kay - Kay laughed aloud. A brutal chuckle after the click of the phone landed. He had contacted a professional with a sob story, if they had any respect for them or any knowledge of Kay or even others who worked the same jobs as them whatsoever they would never have tried such a blatant tug on non existent heart strings. Let alone the reason they had turned down the job in the first place being a whole other person. "He'll enjoy the meeting by himself." They muttered before turning off their phone to stop any new interruptions. Instead turning on some music to obscure the sounds of welding they were about to make grabbing a mask to help protect their reasonably sensitive optic wires. Unless someone came barrelling into their room for the next day they had other things to keep them occupied. - Bloodstream - "I'll still need to go to the hospital or at least the city council offices. They don't just keep hospital blueprints floating round the internet for the same reason you don't have most building blueprints online. Security and money." Sienna shrugged taking the uniforms in hand melding them to her body as she tossed the on the bed trying to find the best fit and combination. "Daytime means more casualties, more of a distraction. Night time may obscure our identities a little better but less cannon fodder to throw at those heroes."

- Acchilleus - "No, it completely fine. Just make sure you get as much rest as you need. Remember, you're not a burden, you are always a contributor to what we're trying to build for us here," reassured Acchilleus talking to a young woman who had started panicking and showing signs of being overworked until she admitted she just found out she was pregnant a month ago. Acchilleus feeling more angry for the fact she didn't tell anyone, had told her to just get some rest, and let the others handle construction and tried his best to dispel all feelings that she was a burden. As Acchilleus watched the young woman go back to her tent, he felt his phone vibrate in his suit pocket and he took it out and answered. "This is Acchilleus," he answered as he walked out from the racketeering noises of construction.

- The Chaser - Claudia reached the Vault and her terminal, settling down as she begun tying. Why do you want Paige so much Jade? She started to type, sending a phone record request to the Little Mice Network before she started her own research. Helen Paige - Currently working in a refugee camp Francesca Paige - Working as a banker in Capital City Jessica Paige - ((Not updated)) Odd, looks like she hasn't been tracked for some time. Abroad and her footsteps have been erase, or does she not exist. She soon received an archive voicemail message, recent. Time to listen. The voice started slow and typical, more like a sales call than anything. She kept searching the archives while the early part of the message bellowed throughout the Vault. - Benedict Strahm - Benedict arrived at the Bronze Tree, ordered some food, and sat at the restaurant. He would wait, though if Kay turns up will be a different story. Shows up, great, doesn't show up, he had a way of getting word around.

- Marshal Maleficus - "Oh we're going to have so much fun, I can assure you, "The Marshal's signature devilish grin crept upon his face as he began rubbing his hands together, "Ah yes - one final thing." He clapped his hands this time; opting for a change. Two morphs dragged in a young man with wavy dirty blond hair, who had begun to come to. "I've been doing a lot of kidnapping recently, Dr. Cooper..." he moved closer to the young man, lifting up his face with a tight grip of his powerfist. "Alex Richardson has been an active member of the Citadel for a short time, until storming off in the night... Those walls aren't as secure as those inside would think. I think you know why that is important, don't you?" He pressed a button on his wrist; then tightened the grip on Richardson's head. Closing in harder and harder, a deadly electric shock surged through the young captive, and it was all he could do but to cry out in pain - until he couldn't even breathe. The Marshal used the grip to throw the corpse towards the morphs; who would carry it away for processing. "This risk is very real, dear Cooper. Are you ready for your assignment?"

- Shadow Fixer - Cooper looked at the Marshal with absolute contempt, but alas he sighed and accepted the situation. A good kid was dead, and he didn't want anymore undeserving people take the bullet. "Where do I start?"

- Alex Richardson - Sun shone through the large, reinforced window of an empty room in the Citadel. The one which Alex went to use as thinking space. The man had only resided there for two or three days now, yet he had adapted to the building and had come to know it as his home, after the destruction of his old one. A garish, silver case lay below the stone windowsill and lay to rest against the cold walls. Nobody would enter the room anyhow, with a unique lock and key method Alex had constructed in the long night. Two individuals would be granted access to the room. Alex Richardson, and Lilly Jones. Inside the case, lay a holo-message, inspired by the nostalgic Star Conflict films. The message lay on repeat, flashing the text: Lilly. I've known well enough that this city is an absolutely fucking shit hole, and to top it all off, we're all going to fucking die here eventually. I'm leaving, Lilly. I've known for too long that staying here, building relationships with people, even making the most unimportant decisions can get you killed. Heartania, a thriving metropolis of technological advancement? Fuck no! The city had been bombed. And that's there's worse to come. Nobody listened to me, so it's time that I left. Maybe I'll be back when this is all over. It took four days. Four fucking days for me to realise i'm better off without all the shit that living here can bring. The chip's here. No matter what you do. Don't fucking give it away. Anything here that can tell people who I am, or where i've gone... get rid of it. Hung by nail on a random wall in the Citadel lay a note, directed to whoever may find it. Lilly, go to my room. Anyone else, don't even think about trying to get in.

- Acchilleus - "Actually, I'd like for you bring the meeting to me. I'm setting something up, I find you will be interested in," spoke Acchilleus as he gave the address to Wild Card, of where the Safe Zone was being developed. He wanted to make sure that the Safe Zone began to get some form of recognition. Some form was better than any, and the media being able to pay attention would certainly allow Acchilleus to have a voice, against the High Chancellor. His eyes snapped wider as he realized what he could do to start to show that he was ready to oppose the man who seemed to rule Heartania. "Please do try to get here as quickly as you can." Acchilleus hung up the phone before going back to observe how the reparations were doing.

- Marshal Maleficus - Producing a blueprint from his costume, the Marshal began to pace around the replica laboratory. He shot his morphs a glance, and the shackles that had restrained Cooper retracted; allowing him to move freely. He threw the blueprint to his feet and explained, "This is a dark matter generator. It's going to be essential to a lot of my work. You're going to examine it, and then apply it into a... bore of sorts. If you fail - they will all die." He walked out of the room, with the morphs following him. One remained one one side of the door, as it slammed shut; the others remained opposite. The door locked as the Marshal began to walk away. Work hard, Dr. Cooper.

- Reaver - Reaver's phone buzzed in her ear, alerting her to Card's call. "Speaking of which, he's calling me right now!" Reaver revealed to Snow with a sigh. "And I was expecting a text. Well dear, I'll have to call you back, okay?"

- Snowflake - “Sure! I’ll talk to you later.” Snowflake hung up and continued eating, happily unaware of what she would go through in but a few minutes. - La Mirage - “Thank you!” Jade called out after Claudia as she walked away. “And thank you Shade,” Jade smiled somewhat genuinely, “I’m glad you’re concerned about me. I’ll see if I can find any clues in here-“ she gestured to the four bunches of paper, “that will require a closer look in the city. You can drop it off at the reception.” The door closed behind them and left Jade in peace. She shuddered and focused at the task at hand instead of the impending death threat hanging over her head.
