Abraham Villarreal/Azrael
"Keep soul searching, the purpose will emerge soon in due time...".
It's morning again, the alarm clock is ringing signaling the start of another day. There's no sun coming in as our base is inside a pocket dimension of sorts. That same phrase rings in my head, it's the same dream as always and I can't help but think about the phrase and who said it. Last night was something else, I hadn't seen anyone be able to catch up with me since I fought Mikhael. It seems I underestimated the Phantom Strikers, yet I can't find no one else strong enough to stop me or worthy enough to call "rivals".
My phone buzzes and I look at the screen, it's Hana, "So you're late it seems?"
"I had a rough night last night, came home tired from working out and had to run a couple of errands".
She doesn't sound very convinced but sighs out, "Guess that makes two of us that didn't get much sleep last night huh?"
"I guess so, what kept you up?"
There's a small pause before she answers, "Just couldn't sleep last night that's all. I'll see you at the shop okay?"
"Yeah, I'm on my way", there's no one downstairs but Marie so the rest must be doing their errands. The makeshift medical area is running smoothly, each of the team members are still out for the count. It's been around four days and they're still out, hopefully with this crest they'll recover faster. I open a portal and look back at Marie, "I'll be back later. Let me know if anything happens".

"So let me get this straight. Not only did they manage to steal a truckload of materials but at the same time, the facility was attacked by some rogue vigilantes for no other reason than to sightsee?", the overseer gulps as I question him.
Bale walks up and puts his hand on my shoulder, "Listen, scaring these guys isn't going to do much. We have ACPD investigating and looking over security footage. Let's just go back and report this to your father".
"Fine whatever you say". The overseer stares attentive to my next words and all I can do is sigh out, "Just get back to work as usual. Not much of value was stolen and we can easily recover the profits lost". The overseer nods and runs off to continue working, after he leaves I turn towards Bale, "Listen. Let's make one thing clear, you are not to interrupt as I manage my father's business. You are here only to be my bodyguard and keep watch on the happenings near Alpha City, do you understand?"
Bale smirks, "Excuse me for trying to build up a proper relationship between workers and the higher ups such as yourself. You can't run a ship solely through fear, otherwise you won't succeed"
"Okay, Okay, I get it. Let's just go back home. I'm tired of running errands".
Bale
"Very well, we'll get the cars ready", there's not much that information given to us. All ACPD told us was that a pair of people walked in with fake badges and drove off with synthetic materials under the guise of an urgent order. This was followed by an explosion near the water towers and a fight between Azrael and Subject Five against members of the Phantom Strikers led by Grey Knight. This led to Azrael and Subject Five escaping and leaving nothing but some light damages to the property.
Luke walks up to me, "The cars are ready to depart".
"Grey Knight was here", this leads Luke to look around, "We're risking a lot just being here in the city. Just let the rest of the team know to be ready at all times, can't risk the Grey Knight informing the rebels of our absence".
