- La Mirage - Jade nodded to the waiter with a wide smile as the plate was put before her and started eating with as much restraint as she could. Despite her hunger and the deliciousness of the dish put before her, she had been raised to eat with some manners as she gripped the fork and knife rather impatiently. “The usual,” she teased, “peel back a few showcases, unlock a few exhibition windows and make sure that we stay out of sight.” She winked at him. “But since you’re taking care of the security, I won’t need to do that last bit unless some guards appear.” Jade started making a list of things to bring with her the next day as she and Michael ate their dinner in peace. It felt nice to have just a moment of silence, spending some time with her friend- it made her feel like everything was back to normal. As if the past week’s events hadn’t happened at all. Back to normal, huh? Who am I kidding. Halfway through their dinner, she felt an urge to talk. Well, not as much talk as to break the ice. “When?” - Midnight Illusion - *Before Kay entered the room the first time* Midnight inhaled and pulled her hand back, placing it in her lap. Hadar looked up at her with a pair of big eyes, as if to ask ‘Are you alright?’, and nudged her hand. Leona smiled in response while regaining her senses. "Thank you for showing me this, please make yourself at home if you want to. “Then I will have a look around. Thank you for listening, High Chancellor.” She rose quickly from the chair and returned the nod to James before walking out the door with Hadar, leaving the Broker to his new job as High Chancellor. Come~ Hadar’s steps seemed somewhat lighter than before. There were a lot of interesting smells and sounds around this foretress, but he intended to figure out where that one familiar scent he smelled earlier came from.

- Benedict Strahm - Benedict had manned the bar alongside two colleges, with one female ordering drink after drink after drink, a big spender. "Might want to mind yourself darling, don't want you waking up inside of a Chinese takeaway dumpster." - Shadow Fixer - Cooper looked up at the figure, a good halloween costume, but something that wouldn't stop him. A morph charged at him again, though Cooper flung his arms in an X shape to block and hold the attack. "Not so tough after all aren't you?" Plick. A small prick of pain entered Cooper's neck, and he broke the hold on the morph. He checked his neck, a dart? Cheeky. He looked at the two main intruders and simply said "You're all bloody idiots". He eyesight and control weakened, and before he knew it, he collapsed. - The Broker - Broker was unfazed at Kay's questions and kept calm. He knew they would be annoyed at him, but if there was anything he wasn't it was a liar. He pulled himself up and said "I've told you everything we did. Lilly agreed to a deal of protect here in exchange for her services. Part of the agreement was that Luke would be placed under the same protection deal as she, and I agreed. To make the move smooth we brought their valuable possessions, family photographs, money, equipment, all that stuff here for them. Since you were among them we tried to wake you up, but you didn't." He drank some more. "Something was wrong, we took a look at the street footage and it was clear this wasn't normal. We tried to wake you up in more traditional methods sans a factory reset, so the mechanical team thought there was something blocking the circuitry, possibly caused by physical trauma. So we opened you up and cleaned out alien elements. Dirt, bullets, dust, all that stuff, nothing more. Whether or not it worked is a matter of your opinion since we don't have your framework." He leaned back. "We thought we lost you Kay, and it would've broken Luke if you didn't come back."

- Hunter - "I don't believe you," snapped Luke stepping forward clearly angry at what The Broker had said. His fingers curled into fists once again, and that desire he felt when walking away from The Tower, came back ten-fold. "I don't believe for a second you cared about what I wanted or even about me. In fact if anything, the only reason you cared about me was because of Kay. In fact, there is no way any dirt of bullets or anything was in Kay. I carried them through the whole city, and barely any bullets touched me, let alone them! You just used them as leverage to get me here, and knowing that I would be here would definitely let my sister join you." Luke was angry, clearly and glanced back at Lilly when he mentioned her, and then back at Broker, glaring at him.

- The Zap - Michael smiled, that mischievous smile. "When? That's a good question, Tomorrow night. Just an hour after the store shuts down. It means that we can have an hour of set up." He was quickly downing his soup. He was feelings sleepy, really sleepy. - Lucielle - Lucielle picked up Cooper. Might as well get this hunt over and done with. She legged it, moving at 40mph speed as soon as she moved out of the restaurant. She made it all the way down the street, ducking into an alley.

- Reaver - Reaver grinned and leaned back on her stool against the bar. "Thanks for the concern, but I'm surprisingly resilient when it comes to the hard stuff." She responded. Praise be to genetic engineering, it kept her upright and saved her from hangovers. "Good to know you're keeping an eye on your patrons though. That woman looks like she might have some issues." She nodded to the muscular moron and his prize. A scream from the door caught her attention, and she sighed. "And that metal monstrosity might cause some problems too."

- La Mirage - Jade smiled back, her smile matching Michael's. Great! Then I'll have time to.. look through Scarlett's files.. Her smile faded, but she stuffed some salad in her mouth before it turned into a frown. They were nearly finished with their meal. "Great! Call me tomorrow and tell me where you want to meet up."

- The Zap - "Oh I will" He replied smoothly. He was still ogling that cute waiter who came over earlier but, a bit more subtly this time. He had already finished his soup, waiting for Jade to finish hers.

- Kay - "I know enough now." Kay's calm tone was perfectly even. "I guess I knew you were a cold man before now." Kay ran a claw down the edge of the table leaving a thin line behind. "You violated me, I am not yours to reset or cut and stick. I am a living being. You used me to gain an advantage. Treated me as someone else's possession. An object. And when my mind returned you tried to use me again. I am not one of your pawns to play with or sacrifice in the sick game you play with this city." Their hands twitched as they reached their decision. It was the only move they could make. Kay turned away from the Broker to the young man with his own issues beside them and pushed Luke backwards with a firm grip, their eyes gleaming with a small sadness as they whispered to him so only he could hear. "You need to watch out for yourselves, he obviously has a lot on you. My advice is leave when you can. Kay went blank once more their face a frozen mask before carrying on their words loud enough for all in the room to hear before pushing him forcefully back into his two friends. "I won't make this harder for you by having you linked to me, we both know i'm not really your friend. Just a replacement" Kay returned in a quick movement to stand beside the Broker planting a cold hand on his shoulder and a kiss as soft as the brush of feathers across a kittens nose on his forehead before whispering in his ear. "You make a better soulless robot than I ever have. If you come near me again in any way the next time I see you I will leave a hole where I just placed that kiss." Kay released the light grip and headed towards the door. Whatever else anyone had to say or do they would be unlikely to get a response.

- Hunter - Luke looked at Kay leaving, somewhat scared yet at the same time, more or less sorrowful than he was fearful. Before he could even think of getting a word out, one of the only friends he had, that seemingly had just come back into his life had gone in less time. Luke remembered the times he spent with Kay. Meeting them on the roof, doing the heist, discovering his new powers in the hospital room. All those times were probably the only pockets of happiness in a sea of sorrow and suicide. Luke's desire was replaced with despondency, and for the first time in a while he was angry once again. As Luke watched Kay walk out of the room, and more than likely out of his life, knowing that no matter what he said would ever bring them back, the words kept ringing through their head. I won't make this harder for you by having you linked to me, we both know I'm not really your friend. Just a replacement. Luke couldn't stop himself. In a few moments, he quickly found himself throwing his hand back towards The Broker, the soft touch of water underneath their finger tips and by the time he saw himself facing The Broker, he watched as a short jet of water found itself rushing in The Broker's direction. Luke didn't care at this point, and would have gone further, if he knew that it would be too much trouble. Before, Lilly could do anything, Luke stomped off towards the door and left, the same way Kay did, alone.

- Kinetic Warden - The Warden watched silently as the events occurred. Once the young man left the room, it was just the High Chancellor and the veteran heroes left. He folded his arms and sighed. The Broker was not what he was cracked up to be. Moving closer to the crook turned politician, he began, "Worked a lot of cases my time... The long ones were the most difficult," he rummaged through a pocket and produced a USB stick from his base, slamming it on the table. "What ultimately brought them down was dissent... the guy in charge breaking up every alliance like a ripple effect. But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" The Warden had no respect for the man in front of him. He assumed full power in a time of chaos, - like a true opportunistic scoundrel - he couldn't plan a decent meeting, and now this. But still, he had something he wanted, "I want all your information on the Ravagers on this pen-drive. Perhaps you can do something of value today." - Marshal Maleficus - The Marshal appeared a few yards ahead of Lucielle, giving her enough space to slow down. He smiled darkly, keeping his arms outstretched. "Ah, my dear. You are resourceful."

- Alex Richardson - Alex could only stand back and watch as the new faces bombarded arguments on the Broker. He acted like a ghost in the room for the whole thing, but exited solemnly with the others. It saddened him to know that somebody he trusted had been acting so... wrong. He felt no need to pursue the younger people and their squabbling, he just felt happy to get out of the room and avoid discussion about the chip. - Ryder - Ryder was not fast enough to keep up with Lucielle's actions, following behind with a dragging pace. He entered the alley, huffing and wheezing, where Lucielle and Marshal stood. They had managed to complete their task despite the interference although it seemed the pair had found a rival, someone also after Cooper.

- The Broker - Kay planted a soft kiss, and gave him a warning. "You can wait in line, behind Inferno, behind Wild Card, behind Reaver, behind Snowflake, behind Miss Nariko, behind the Marshal, behind our new threat..." He took another look at Luke. "Behind him." He took another and swiped his information tablet. "A word of warning. There is something big coming, something I am trying to prevent. This place is the most fortified building in the city, second only to the Tower itself. The doors are always open to welcome you back, but I warn you now." He leaned on the table with a cold stare. "I am not responsible if you or the others get hurt. You are always welcome here, but don't say I didn't warn you." He pointed to the phone he gave Kay. "That contact, that job has nothing to do with me. They requested someone good, and there you are. Downtown, he'd love to meet you. He and Luke are already acquainted." Kay left, and so did Luke, and the Warden started his request. Throwing a flash drive on his desk and delivering threats. "You have a very interesting way of demanding information, vague threats, coming into my residence and workplace like you own everything and basically demand something from a government official." They locked eyes for a few seconds, before the Broker chuckled. "I know who you were before you disappeared, and if I am a wise, smart, handsome man, I'd say you have also figured out who I am." He took a look at the pen drive before plugging it into the tablet device. "Reaver is an interesting person, storms into the city and somehow manages to get things done quickly. That is as little as I know. But we do have information regarding her accomplices. Inferno, I'm sure you are aware of, Nariko, with the mercenary company and their history, public information, and Snowflake, newer player, not much to go on, but we do have someone who knows everything." He unplugged the drive. "Her brother". He tossed it back to the Warden.

- Knight - "I understand." Blake said confidently, slight disappointed at the potential loss of his sentai, "Do you... have somewhere to sleep...?" Beat. "I mean no-one's gonna find you down here."

- Warlock - "We've been on the run for ages now; what do you think?" Esteban sighed. He knew that was unworthy of him, but he didn't see enough reason to apologise just yet. Instead, he relaxed his pose and corrected himself, "Somewhere to stay would be much appreciated, Knight." - Kinetic Warden - The Warden frowned as The Broker spoke. If my threats are vague, then yours are empty. At least the High Chancellor was cooperative. He was eager to get in and get out; it would have been nice to catch up with this 'Kay'. For now, he had to make sure to get all the available information. Grabbing the pen-drive, he quizzed, "And where is this brother of Snowflake's?"
