- The Queen of Hearts - "We got any cars below right now?" "One or two, though obviously we're not holding onto to anything worth much." It was noteworthy that Alice wasn't wearing her usual garb. While she of course wore her under-armour - as she did at all times - but instead of her red jacket and dark grey body armour she wore a red shirt over a black t-shirt emblazoned with the symbol of the old football team; the Scarlet City Rogues. The then wore blue jeans and black, belted combat boots.

- Wild Card - Wild card looked at Acchillieus face before he walked away and gave off a smirk, following him they were taken to a front of a van with a small table in front of it "it'll have to do" Wild card said letting go of Ms Diamond, opening the case he pulled out the map of the Citadel and pulling out the folder he kept a hold of it "here you are the target or well the best i can do for the moment" Wild card said

- Cosmo - Damian awoke with a diligence he had adapted from life in the military (perhaps the only part of the training he took to). His mind focused in the dark matter generator, he almost slipped on his usual clothes; before realising he had an identity to hide. He suited up as Cosmo, then exited the same way he had done the other day, through the open window to his apartment. Quickly making his way to the power-plant; he placed his gauntlet against the elevator entrance. It began to descend at a reasonable pace, with Damian stood patiently. - Warlock - Esteban tried searching for Mr. O'Crowley to no avail. He couldn't for the life of him think where the man could be. He would have given it more thought, but the sounds of the elevator came closer and closer. He sprung into action, ducking behind a nearby corner. He had to expect the worst. Activating the twin link, he called for backup. Natalia. I think this guy has led us to danger. I need you. - Shadow Fixer - From his command centre of the underground base, the Marshal watched the doctor from a monitor in front of him. A side-screen showed the Marshal's plans in the works. It was then that one popped up. It was time. He moved to a microphone, pressing a few buttons to connect it to the lab where Adrian worked. "Dr. Cooper... There's been a change of plan. That blueprint needs to be incorporated into a bomb. Thank you, my dear." - The Morphs - Two standard morphs approached the hero sat atop a building. The target had been watched for a while, and only now was ripe for the taking. Target 23 - Butterfly: engage. The two marched forwards, engaging their plasma cannons. As they did so, two scout morphs crept to either side of the building, readying their tranquilizers.

- Butterfly - Erin only managed to turn in time for the tranq darts to hit him. 'shit.' He thought. In a desperate attempt to swarm he found himself unable, as it trapped in a skintight cell suit. His eyes glazed over, his mind became a static haze before the darkness of unconsciousness consumed him.

- The Chaser - Claudia burst through the roof door, first aid kit in hand. She looked up, our of breath, then sighed with relief. "Thank god you two are fine", she said with a faint smile, struggling to emerge over the lack of breath. She saw the harm the two wrought to each other, nothing lethal, but it was noticeable. She opened up the kit and said "You guys want patching?" - The Pursuer - Andras kept indoors as the cleanup continued. The vibe was different, still relaxed but more formal. It wasn't his job, so he kept his relaxed stance after the tough night. Karma was nearing completion, and the Village has had it's bathroom cleaned up. A HDS man arrived, a package. "I've been told to give you this package." Andras was confused. He didn't order a package, nor was he aware that one was coming. Regardless he signed the release and let the delivery man on his way. He opened the box. A briefcase, a tube case, and a smaller box. He started with the case, a note was inside. Andras Thought you could do with something you're more comfortable with. I got a couple of my friends from Canada to give you a prototype they were working on. Have fun. -B Andras was confused, in the case was a jacket and a pair of trousers. He felt the material, felt normal but it was just his size...what was it about this? He opened the tube, but it contained a hardened, rounded tube that suited his hand. And then he opened the box...a hilt. He was confused at the significance of the hilt, a replica? That was until he saw the small switch where his thumb would be. He flicked it, and a familiar shape too form. A large blade, similar to the one we was use to, and from the weight it was just as heavy. He tried the same with the other hilt, a familiar rounded shield emerged. Which left the suit. He retracted the blade and shield and picked up a sharp knife from the counter, one used to cut lemons. He stabbed the suit, no damage. Looks like Benedict has reunited Andras with what he was trained with. - Shadow Fixer - Cooper was irritated. Marshal now wants this thing to be a bomb, going to take more time to recalculate how much dark matter would be needed. He needed to buy time, find a way to damage the Marshal's efforts, and he might have a way. There was a calculation fixture, one that would work, and he proceeded to apply it to a metallic frame. I have to buy time, I need to rebuild or at least destroy.

- The Zap - "Well, Of course. How else would I do it? A man of my skill enjoys slipping notes." He grinned deviously. Moving over to the door he smiled, "Tell me when you're reading to go young man".

- Hunter & Raven - Lilly turned to look at Claudia, already having a glare and having half the mind to try and throw her off the roof, if she wasn't too tired and she was assured that it would be nothing more than cold blooded murder. Lilly stepped back, feeling the sound of puddles under her feet. "What the hell are you doing here?" exclaimed Lilly sharply. Luke also focused his attention on Claudia, and then back at Lilly. Though the two had fought only minutes ago, he was already siding with Lilly. After her performance in Capital City, and the fact that she was working with The Broker, and more than likely close with The Broker due to being siblings, Luke had already decided his stance against Claudia. Whilst not nearly hating her as much as he did The Broker, he also similarly glared at Claudia. "Actually, what are you doing here?" asked Luke, crossing his arms. Looking at him and Lilly, he perceived that the two didn't have any serious injuries. - Acchilleus - "This is very interesting," replied Acchilleus as he examined the map. No. It's actually bullshit. A map of The Citadel isn't going to help me bring stability towards the city, now is it? If he's going to be my ally, he should know exactly what I want. Especially if he can provide it. Though it does make me wonder, how exactly he got this map. But frankly right now, I couldn't give a shit. "However I was more interested about funding."

- Wild Card - Wild card let out a sigh of disappointment "oh i see how it is, how much?" he said putting away the file he had in his hand, Miss Diamond turned to Acchillieus with an angry look as she lowered her shades, Wild card turned to her and raised his hand and shock his head slightly "im sure you have a better uses for me than just my money" he said turning back to Acchillieus

- Reaver - Reaver stood aside and watched passively, acutely aware that Snow had been blanked. This man was strange. His face was all smiles but his body language, and the grimace he held when he saw her indicated he wanted none of this. Card was being rolled over by what appeared to be a dickhead without any money, and it was getting... Weird. If this kept up, she would withdraw support, and she'd work to convince Card with her. They could fight the Broker without this prat. - Argent Mind - Argent Mind listened carefully to what was being said, and nodded. "I can think of no one better to take this job." He agreed, sitting back in his chair. "If you ever need help, don't hesitate to ask. We need to get Cooper back."

- Compound - Edison reached out to shake Argent's hand. "Thank you for the opportunity. I was starting to go stir crazy, having nothing to contribute to the efforts out there. A phone call or two, and I should have the search underway." His mind still lingered on his conversation with Cooper in the medical bay. I agreed with Cooper so readily... did I encourage him? Edison reflexively shook the thought out of his head. I can't worry about that, I have work to do. Sla'Nesh will probably be more than eager to lend me a hand, if only I could work out how to get in touch with her. Nimbus and his hacker friend might have some information from the streets, too. I should start there. - The Harvester - Orlando crouched low on his perch. A rooftop across from the site of Acchilleus' meeting spot, he had a clear view of the proceedings. For now, they seemed to be only poring over a map of some sort, but his employer's body language showed impatience with the matter. He wasn't planning on going hawk on the meeting, until he'd seen the associates that were travelling with the man named 'Wild Card'. Two women, both dangerous in appearance... incredibly dangerous in appearance, moved beside him. If trouble broke out, or even worse if this was a trap, then Acchilleus would be in serious trouble. That was why Orlando had prepared his hiding spot, so he could be within a moment's reach without directly interrupting the meeting itself. He tugged gently on the thin wire line hung between his perch and a wall opposite him, idly swinging his attachable zipline grip in his off hand. Still perfectly taut. Good. It should take about two seconds for me to ride down and crash in on any trouble. Breathing slowly, he kept watching the meeting. - Starlass - Grace emerged from the elevator into the large Command Centre, immediately headed for the central monitors to check for alerts. Argent wasn't in her direct vision, so she took the liberty of finding her own commands. Nothing to report The screens didn't help her out much. She turned, ready to leave the room, when she spotted Argent in his office, speaking to Edison. I'll wait here for him. I've got some explaining to do.

- Acchilleus - So that's how it's going to be. Acchilleus took a deep sigh, clamping his hands together, as he resisted glaring at both Wild Card and his bitch. That's who she is. Everyone needs one. Ms. Reaver over their has hers. Wild Card has his. And I have mine. Acchilleus glanced over towards his own assistant who was reading from a clipboard, and giving advice to people still trying to clean up the apartment block and the hospital. The only issue is, who can control theirs better. "Funding is the most important aspect. You don't think I can wave a wand to make the city get better now, do you?" asked Acchilleus, smiling broadly. "Come on, Wild Card. You're a businessman. You know how finances work. Besides, if you want me to be in the position to help you, I need your help first. You need my experience, and I need your contribution. That's all."

- Wild Card - "to help me with what my record? if i had a copy of it i would hang it up like a plaque" Wild card said , in his ear he heard the voice of Lutte vic "careful you have an unexpected visitor, window could be trouble" looking over to Reaver "Reaver could you please open the window, and Acchilliues if i where you i'd be careful what you next say it could ruin chances" Wild card said turning back to him, this meeting started off badly for both parties one wanting to kill the Broker the other wanting to take his place

- Reaver - Reaver raised her eyebrows as she surveyed Achilleus. She went and opened the window, but as she did so she started a riposte of her own. "Sorry to interupt, but what is this experience that you claim to be so vital?" She asked, her voice clearly showing some trepidation at this deal. "Sorry, Card simply invited me to this meeting without really mentioning what you're here to do. Yeah, sure, you need his money. But what do you really bring to the table that he or I do not?" - Argent Mind - Taking Edison's hand and giving a firm handshake, Argent Mind accepted the deal. "No, thank you for doing this. My plate is full enough without focusing efforts on hunting down Adrian Cooper!" Speaking of which... Starless, who had last appeared to him as a Maleficus-influenced hostile, was standing in the control room, looking at him. He sent a message telepathically to the staff to send her in when Edison was gone. This was exactly the kind of issue that was holding his attention.

- The Broker - The Broker continued his decipher of the message before it became clear. He slumped into his chair, now he was losing those close to him. People out there trying to kill him, and he had to keep his plans to keep people safe a secret. It what happened to Jade, and it's something he'll have to explain. He stood up, took one step to the window, and rested against the view. The Wastelanders guarding, the people delivering food, and the supers going inside and out of the building. He was a man of secrets, not an administrator, and he had to prepare for what may come. The Citadel may only have one way in and one way out, but there was something bothering him, a possible Achilles Heel that could destroy the work he has done. With one step, he got back in his chair, and the physiotherapist entered. "Ready for therapy?" Broker let out a defeated sigh. "I guess." - The Chaser - Claudia was a little taken aback by the question but kept her composure while preparing the buds and bandages. "From what I've been told the two of you were duking it out pretty hard, and from what I know I doubt it was a friendly spar. The two of could've killed each other and that is something neither of you want." She froze in her place before looking back up between the two siblings. "I've been to the Beyond, and there is nothing but darkness. The hours I spent there were enough to make anyone mad, so..." she sighed. "I guess I don't want either of you to experience what I or Jon have done, except permanent." She slowly walked towards the two. "Do you want your wounds dressing?" - Jessica Paige - The door opened and they entered. It was a jewellery close to Downtown. "How may I help you miss?" Jessica looked around, cane in hand, and saw all the expensive and beautiful accessories, both present and missing from the shelves. "Do you get robbed often?" The elderly woman behind the counter lowered her head. "We have a robbery only a few days ago." Jessica sighed and got out her wallet. "Such a shame that the inefficient police and the spectacle of these heroes have done nothing to help. Such a shame." She looked at what was on offer, taking special note of some nice earrings. "What if I was to tell you that I can have this place protected?" The woman sighed. "It would be nice but I don't think I can afford it." Jessica smiled. "No need to worry. I can offer protection in the form of the two gentlemen behind me, and the only thing you need to do is make them coffee and pay a tiny percentage of your profits for them. In essence, you only pay when you earn." The woman took a moment to think. "What if I don't make any profits this week?" "Then the only thing I ask is the storage room to be used for my business. You'll continue as usual, and we won't bother you." Another moment to think. "OK, I'll be more than happy if it keeps the store open." Such a friendly woman. Jessica took out some money and looked at the earrings again. "Can I get two of those please?" A few seconds later she was out of some money and now equipped with two extra earrings. Business went well, and she left feeling satisfied. She got into a car, and asked her driver to take her to another address. Weekly income was secured, now it need to be turned into hourly income, and the automobile store should give her that opportunity. - Shadow Fixer - Cooper got a prototype in order and assigned the equation to it, now all that was needed was the countdown to be test. He turned it on...and.... A small black hole immediately appeared and started to suck small to medium objects such as pencils, cups, and papers into it. Cooper immediately stopped the bomb, before grabbing a note to say the equation was extremely unstable. He returned to his white board, hair all frizzled, before noticing that the whiteboard rubber and pen was among the objects to be sucked in. Without another clear choice, he looked at the morph standing over him and said "Can you get me a whiteboard pen and rubber?"

- Acchilleus - "Have you killed The Broker?" asked Acchilleus, now not even bothering to put an inkling an effort into his façade. Clearly the only thing Ms. Reaver and Wild Card recognized was aggression, and they had already pushed his patience enough. "Either of you? No? Alright, because here is what I bring to the table." Acchilleus pointed his finger at Wild Card. "You contribute to our funding." Acchilleus pointed to Reaver. "You become an ally to me." Acchilleus then pointed his finger to himself. "I, use your money and your alliances to bring stability to the city. I've gathered citizens to start construction for me and you think this is some joke? That this is some game? Well I'm not joking, nor am I playing. So you can either sit back, stop measuring your dicks and try to work with me, or frankly for all I care you can leave, and keep your tail between your legs because for all I care, if you can't help, I don't give a damn. I will continue with, or without you," exclaimed Acchilleus sharply. He looked from Reaver, to Wild Card, to Ms. Diamond. "Oh, I'm sorry, do I have your attention now? Because it's either you work with me, or work without me. But here's what happens if you work with me. I can give you property, I can give you loyalty over citizens, I can give you The Broker. You can use The Citadel as a pisspot for all I care. That is what I bring to the table. That is why I invited you to this meeting. That is the potential I wanted to see. But so far, all I see is disappointment." - Hunter, Raven & The Sheriff - "No, get away from me," snapped Lilly as she walked towards the rooftop exit, grinding her teeth as she ignored Luke and James's prescence in that very moment and pushed her way past Claudia. "How about we head back to The Citadel?" murmured James, and Luke simply nodded allowing James to lead him away from Claudia, as Luke flashed a cold glare towards them, angered that The Citadel and all of Broker's workers seemed to become even more overbearing on his life. Luke reminded himself that if it wasn't for The Broker and what he did to Kay, none of this would have happened in the first place.
