Azrael's POV

I couldn't sit there for another second. It was too weird for me to stay there. Also, I was supposed to be meeting up with a few people at my job, so I had to get out of there somehow.

I may have cooked up a little plan to confirm my suspicions about who Bliss really is, but that depends on how my meeting goes. I slowly turned my hair back to its natural, platinum blond color. I changed my eye color to dark blue, and put on my work outfit. Though I didn't look too different, it was different enough that regular people couldn't see a thing.

  Morphing is one of my many abilities, and it's shared by a lot of people around the world. It's what gives Heroes and Villains our secret identities. Most can't successfully hide who they are without it, which is why it's so useful. Though, for some reason, the ability has become scarce. I haven't actually seen many who can do it anymore, I wonder why.

  As I arrived back to my building, I must have still looked a bit pissed off, because one of my assistants asked if I was alright.

"Jake, I'm fine. What room is my meeting in?" I asked.

"Erm, I think Room 334, but I'll have to check again to make sure," He said.

Who doesn't know where the other three largest billionaires in the city are in my building? Those idiots make heads turn in every room they go into. "Well, where did the people I'm meeting with go? I'll just follow where people said they went."

"I-I'm not sure sir, I was so worried about your whereabouts that I didn't pay attention to their arrival," He quivered, "Though I can ask around or check the cameras to see?"

"It's fine, I'll figure it out myself. Now go make yourself useful, standing here isn't what I'm paying you for," I snapped.

You may say that I'm abusive to my staff, or that I don't treat them right, but in reality, this is just how the world works. People don't want to work for someone who can't show authority. I give a lot to my employees, and I compensate them a lot for the work they put in. They know this, so they don't exactly care how I talk to them, since they get paid anyway. My company has the highest pay for a 9-5 job in the city. So you can see why I have so many people here.

"Y-Yes sir, I'll get back to work right away," He said.

I unlocked my phone so that I could message my friends to see where they were.

GC: Troublemakers

Ivan: Azrael's never late. should we put on the news and see if he makes another headline?

Mars: People can be late sometimes.

Ivan: Not Azzy.

Mars: I guess so, but all we can do is wait.

Although these guys were basically my brothers, they still never ceased to get on my nerves.

Azrael: What room are you all in? Jake seemed to have missed you walking in

Mars: Somewhere on the fourth floor, I think it's the right side of the 5th hallway
