It was dark out. It always was when this happened. As the darkness outside quilted the mess indoors.
They screamed and ran, all the goons or hired killers did in this scenario. Oliver smirked from his viewpoint as he used his abilities to keep the exits locked whilst enjoying the show below. He wasn't a sadistic person most of the time, but when the circumstances called for it one could swear he was born and raised in the pits of hell with how he laughed at the misery and panic of his victims. "Hah..." He exhaled, as he heard the distant bloodshed wrapping up. No more fun for now, he thought, as he decided to end this. He jumped down and quickly acted. Slash, chomp, rip and tear. It was a simple procedure for him. He called on the intercom once he was sure everyone was either dead, or about to die anyways, "Orange fox to brown badger, do you copy?" a slight static sounded before the reply... "Oliver, must you use these codewords? I don't mind using an alias but this seems a bit silly..." He chuckled, "C'mon Skylar, it fits! You almost always wear brown after all, and when it comes to this.... You attack like a badger too." A silence ensued before the sound of weapons being sheathed could be heard, as the doors to the room he was in opened. "I take it you're done and bored?" Elios said whilst raising an eyebrow.
"Oh come on, Elios. What about my demeanor indicates boredom?" Oliver pouted in a playful manner, as Elios sighed, reaching for his own intercom. "Skylar, if your faction is cleared out, let's meet in the main office. I found a bit more serious things than normal..." "Roger that, I'll be there soon." Oliver tilted his head, intrigued with what Elios could possibly have found worse than normal. They had perfected this song and dance down to a science. During the day, they were all normal employees for a business founded by Samanta Nightingale, Elios' mother. And by night, they hunted down those who had had a hand in creating, or supporting a science facility run by Eric Crimson, Elios' father. Except for Quinn, the one time Oliver tried to ask him about hypothetically joining in something like what they did, he got hit over the head with a cast-iron skillet. Not. Fun. Anyways, Oliver didn't know many of the details of what that facility had done, but what he did know that anyone and everyone involved with what that facility did deserved to rot in hell for an eternity.
As Oliver trailed behind Elios to the meetup spot, "You're a bit later than expected." Skylar said whilst cleaning off his blade. "I was almost afraid you'd been compromised." To that, Elios laughed. "You can't get rid of me THAT easily, Skylar." As Skylar chuckled, he suddenly grew serious as he asked "So what was so bad you had to call us here? Wouldn't you usually have just taken care of things?" He questioned, which Elios nodded to before going into the room and returning with two files. He handed one to Oliver. "Read that aloud, won't you?" he asked, as he clung to the other file anxiously. Oliver cleared his throat before opening the file and reading "We hereby approve the reconstruction of Crimson labs. We support and encourage the trials for all experiments to be retried with a new selection of test subjects for testing, training, and conditioning for the buyers perfect weapon." He trailed off at the end... "Is this some kind of sick joke?" Oliver looked up with an uncharacteristically angry expression. "Are they seriously going to try and redo everything in that horrible place, traumatizing more victims and everything?!" He was shouting this point. "I know. Looks like we have a LOT more work to do..." Elios said as he continued looking down at the file in his hand....
"What's in the other file?" Skylar asked. Elios handed it to him, hesitantly. "Try to not freak out..." Skylar opened the file and his face immediately became dark. He turned into the still opened room, looking at the man who was the center of this set of discoveries, a clear supporter or the old experiments of Crimson labs. "Is he still alive?" He said, his gaze fixated on the man his rage was directed to. "Skylar ple-" "IS HE. A L I V E?" Skylar repeated, dropping the file and moving his weapon into attack position. Elios sighed. "Yes... We need him alive for questioning.... So don't.... Don't kill him." He said, walking away from the door. Skylar went into the room, shutting the door behind him. Oliver and Elios walked away before anything happened, but the bloodcurdling screams could still be heard. "What was in the second file?" Oliver asked, after what seemed to be an eternity of itself. Elios looked Oliver dead in the eyes before replying. "It was an experiment test log, field testing. And the field testing was the murder of almost Skylar's entire family."
