- Hunter - "You stealing the view from me?" exclaimed Luke, aiming his bow higher towards Kay's chest, part of him felt his hand shivering whether from fear, or regret, or both. Part of him still felt loss for Kay, for what they had done. But at the same time, he gripped his the base of the arrow tightly, focusing on Kay. Flashes of the past coming across his mind, as he remembered the first time they were on this roof. "Should we start again?" Luke continued, rhetorical. "I'm Luke. I'm here to kill you or threaten you. This is a nice roof and view. Now get the fuck out." Even Luke was slightly shaken by how harsh he sounded.

- Venator - The approaching figure was immediately suspicious to Venator. The dirty clothes, the muttering to herself, the trolley she drove before her... It all screamed that something was very wrong. She paused for a second, checking her mask was firmly in place, before stepping out and blocking the path, raising her bow and readying an arrow. It was time to be imposing. "Who are you?" She barked, voice modulator turning her shout into a rumbling growl. "What's in the trolley?"

- Kay - "I wouldn't go around talking about how tough you are," Kay replied softly the sound of their voice slowly drifting into the same cadences as Hunter's if not the exact same tone. "You won't last in this city long, if you do." Kay's voice returned to normal as they watched the wavering strength of the strung bow. It would not be long and he would shoot, a bow was not a weapon you prepared without meaning to lose it. "I'm not leaving you. Not this time." Kay leapt off of the building spinning to the side rolling unsteadily across the roof on which Hunter stood but not at or near him. They were vulnerable but had not moved to harm hopefully buying a few seconds. - Bloodstream - "Who the fuck are you?" Sienna replied indignantly. "We're getting out of here you crazy. You're one of the idiots who beat up the city aren't you." Sienna was angry her janitor outfit a little rumpled as she held back her instinct to fight. There was an arrow pointed at her face "You stick arrows in the face of everyone going about their bloody jobs!" Her face began to drain of colour, an act she didn't really need to put on. "Oh no you're a villain. Don't hurt me." She pleaded her eyes filling with crocodile tears. She turned to those her head to those behind her. "Someone help me! Help!" Others behind her drew closer to the exit pausing as they spotted the figure in front of them. Some looked nervous as they realised they were stuck between a possible villain and the exit. A couple of paramedics began to move forward faster as though they were willing to help.

- Oren - The paper platform moved out of the way. Oren extended his arms out wide, all paper in the area came to him. Magazines, comic books, books, all of it was under his command. He strengthened all of them full power, draining his mana almost completely, giving him 1 last shot at one thing. To be fair, the paper was many so he wouldn't have to collect more. The paper became to form a circle around the two, swirling and swirling untill it became a twister. "SO! ARGENT! THIS IS YOUR PUNISHMENT". The paper was moving so fast that if you attempted to touch it you'd hurt yourself. Peices of ppaper would sometimes leave and slash at Argent.

- Hunter - "As you're the Hunter, I guess I'm the prey," admitted Luke as he stepped back still aiming his bow at Kay, wondering whether he should shoot them now. Their use of his voice, what he did, sent shivers down his spine. He could feel his eyes dilating, imagining what it would be like to watch the arrow pierce them, it wasn't something they exactly desired, it wasn't even something they would be proud of. But it would be worth it. Yet Kay had come back from "death" once. What were they doing? What were they waiting for? Luke narrowed his eyes, it was frustrating now how he couldn't read Kay like others. But even then, something was going on. There was no other reason Kay would seek him out like this.

- Bellona Warhammer - Bellona rested against the frame of the door to the training area watching Ares. He was certainly working hard. She was impressed. Walking over to him she whisteled, "Your technique is sloppy Warbander, is that what they teach their kids nowadays?" She chuckeled.

- Kay - "Did you really just say that?" Kay laughed aloud. "No wonder heroes sound so silly." Kay added wryly keeping their distance steady moving back and forth in an unplanned motion. "You obviously are unhappy to see me but you see I still like you. Pointless I know but I do." Kay talked quickly wanting the words to reach him, break him, distract him, help, just do something. He looked worse than when they first met just now with his anger pointed outward rather than inward ready to explode. "I came here to help you. There is this man Rick who wants you dead, another Achilleus who wants you captured." With the words they took a couple of steps forward.

- Hunter - "It's your line," noted Luke, as he stepped back, quickly darting a glance over his shoulder, Luke saw that he was close to the edge. He began to circle around, trying his best to focus on Kay, and Kay alone. However part of him already detected suspicion at their words. "How would you know that?" How would Kay know that? Had they joined Acchilleus? It wasn't something that was impossible, they could want revenge on The Broker. Maybe they wanted revenge on everybody at The Citadel for not taking care of them, after they shut down. Endless possibilities.

- Kay - "Because I work for Acchileus now." Kay said bluntly. They continued to walk closer there was only about six feet between them now even as Hunter backed closer to the edge. That might be an advantage soon enough. "As I care for you I thought I would give you a choice." Kay's stance changed it was not yet aggressive but they were prepared to dodge or to charge. "So do you want to die or do you want to come with me?" They let him make this move first, the last before they would try and dictate the pace however hard that might be to manage.

- Ares Warbander - Ares leaned the wooden training sword against the shattered support pole, turning to face his rival. "It wasn't long ago I was critiquing your technique, if I remember correctly." She smiled, a hint of cheekiness glistening in his eye. "Mind you, it must have been hard to hear me from down in the dust." His gazed drifted past Bellona, to the other side of the yard. "I need to find some water. Does anything need doing while I'm in there?" he asked politely, biting his lip. It was still a little frustrating to act as a subordinate, but honestly he was already growing a little accustomed to it. - The Harvester - "It will be done." Orlando answered bluntly, turning his back on his commander. Pulling his scarf back over his face, he drew a grapple gun from beneath his coat and aimed it at a nearby rooftop. The hook launched, attaching itself to a guard railing, and Orlando pulled himself through the air to climb onto the rooftop. From his new vantage point, he scanned the streets around him. I have no chance of finding this 'Hunter' myself. I might as well wait until that shapeshifter draws him out.

- Argent Mind - Even as the hostages were lowered safely to the ground, Argent Mind struggled to batter off the barrage of paper missiles. Although for the most part his defences held, enough of the impacts broke through to leave several shallow cuts that bled alarmingly. Forced to stay defensive, he was nevertheless able to land the civilians in cover, and reached out to protect them even as they ran out of range. Finally free from that responsibility, he pushed back, keeping the impacts away from him. A tinge of pain struck his mind at the effort, but he pushed on, until finally he was provided the time to strike back, lashing out with a powerful force blast at a perceived weak-spot of the tornado. Far below, on the street, a few splatters of crimson liquid landed from the hero's wounds. - Venator - Venator was unperturbed by the lookers-on. Unlike typical heroes, tears and fear had never held her back from doing what was needed, and she would never apologise for her actions. Still, this woman did appear to be what she said she was. "Not a villain, miss, just a concerned onlooker." She growled, shaking her head. "Go on. Get out of here before I change my mind."

- Hunter - "Nice try," exclaimed Luke as he felt himself still aiming at Kay before he watched them, and listened to them giving the choice. Luke, was definitely going to die especially to be killed by someone like Kay. He felt his heart racing, thudding and getting louder, faster as the idea of letting go of the bowstring seemed better. As he thought about it for a few idle moments, and a few idle moments alone, Luke sighed, aimed it at Kay once more and let go.

- Bellona Warhammer - "That 'wasn't long' was a long time ago if I remember. And back then I was young and brash, just like you. But now, as a matured women I've developed, I can't have myself being left in men's dust." Her words has a steel edge to them. She returned the smile. "And Warbander, don't forget who kicked your ass not too long ago". "Does anything need doing?" She pondered, she already had a large community doing things and running themselves smoothy. "No, you're just a whelp here, you can pray to the gods. Or practice." - Oren - Oren's tornado slightly faltered at the weakspot slightly. "Argent Mind. I'll stop this shenanigans if you come closer to me, and meet with me face to face. Give me the chance to do one thing, then that'll be us." Oren had a good plan, a smart plan.

- Raven - Lilly rushed past the multitude of people who were now gathering in the corridors, for whatever reason. She felt herself panicking, wondering who was behind this, who was plotting behind them. Her true fear came from the very fact that they were most likely the one to murder Custos. Lilly had in mind that it was possibly Mira, yet at the same if it were, the fact they warned them about a traitor in the first place was questionable. It seemed like they were just as concerned about this, as she was. But looks could be deceiving. Lilly finally made it to the front of The Citadel, where they saw James wiping out their cigarette. "Hey, I need to talk to you," urged Lilly as she walked towards James who seemed disinterested. Their opinion on Lilly had soured after they saw what they put Luke through, but both James and Lilly knew the last thing they wanted now was an argument. "What is it now?" asked James raising an eyebrow, as he felt his plans to go to the bar slowly evaporate from his mind. Lilly was somewhat surprised to see him appear to have a genuine look of concern, before he went back to his cocky demeanour. "Well? I know you didn't come here just for my looks. I wouldn't be surprised, but I also wouldn't be interested." "Something is going on in The Citadel. Someone is plotting against us, and I think it's someone in here," revealed Lilly, trying to keep her voice low. James instantly had a look of doubt, causing Lilly to sigh. As James opened his mouth to, most likely rebuke her thoughts, Lilly interrupted, "Look, just listen to me. A few people from The Citadel have gone. Now Luke is gone too. And who do you think murdered that guy in the hospital room?" James mused it over. "I don't know. This sounds crazy. Are you absolutely sure? I don't want to stick my neck out, especially for you. No offense," questioned James, trying his best to conceal his tiredness. Another problem, another issue to pluck from his life, only this time it could mean that his life was in danger. Then again, James was starting to get used to that feeling. "Yes. I think, I think Luke might be in danger, I know he doesn't want to see me, not right now. I need to get back to someone here and talk to them. I would go, but I know I'll cause more trouble. Look, I just need to trust you to get him back, no matter how stubborn he is or what he says. Do you understand?" spouted Lilly, no longer caring about her tone, no longer caring about anything, she knew now that she had to be certain that Luke was safe, even if he "hated" her. James looked down for a few moments, trying to think this all through before his eyes flitted upwards and he nodded. "Thank you so much. Be safe, and thank you again." Lilly rushed back, quickly trying to find Mira to let her know James was on the case and convince her that they had to see The Broker. She turned to take one look back to find James going on Luke's motorcycle which he had left behind, and heading out of the gates from The Citadel and down the bridge.
