Those Who Remain: Awakening (Alternate Version of TWR: Mirage)

A Little storm

Beatrice throws Ava on the ground, then she stands up on her feet and jumps on Beatrice, who dodges her.

"To be fair, your parkour skills were great," said Beatrice.

Ava wonders how she knew, which makes Beatrice chuckle.

"There were cameras in the building, my padawan," Beatrice explained.

Beatrice throws punches at Ava, who dodges them. Ava throws a hit, which is caught by her mentor. Then, she catches the second hit, locking her movement.

"How do you respond? Think, Silva. Don't let the situation control you," Beatrice commented.

Ava uses her legs, dropping Beatrice on her back. Then, Beatrice holds Ava's elbow strike.

"Good job," Beatrice tells her.

In a room filled with moving objects, Ava trains her halo powers, which she struggles with.

"Don't let the past poison you; you're better than that, Silva," Beatrice commented.

She relaxes herself, then summons all the power of the halo, breaking every object around her and almost throwing Beatrice against the wall.

She wields the divinium, slicing another moving object, then slices the last one and poses with pride.

Beatrice detects Ava's movement on the iPad via the earpiece they placed in their ears.

She sees Ava come back faster, phasing through the first wall, then the second.

Ava touches her knees, catching her breath, then stands back normally, staring at Beatrice.

"Remember, the halo power can be drained, so use it carefully," Beatrice advised.

"Roger that," Ava responds.

Crimson sits in front of Salvius, investigating her about the assassins and the OCS.

"If you give me their location, I will disappear, Ms. Salvius. You're a famous figure, and I presume you're aware of what suits you and what doesn't," Crimson said.

"You're taking direct orders from a patriarchal idiot who pays you to destroy free individuals. You had the choice to be an independent woman, not manipulated by those who pay you," Jillian responded.

"I'm not here to argue with you, Ms. Salvius. Give me what I want, or you'll face terrible consequences," Crimson said with a grumpy voice.

Then her phone rings, and she picks it up from her pocket, answering the caller, who's Abner himself.

"Yes?" Crimson said.

"If she has nothing to offer, leave the building without making a scene, Crimson, because a person like her can harm the reputation of our institution, and I don't have to explain that to you due to your intelligence," Abner informs her.

"Then what's the plan?" Crimson responded.

"I'll cue you more about it when you leave," Abner replied.

He hung up the phone, looking at Jillian with a neutral expression.

"You're lucky, Ms. Salvius. Your reputation saved you," she commented.

"Be intelligent and reconsider your life choices before it's too late," Jillian said to Crimson as she walked away.

Crimson stopped and turned her head around.

"Or what? I'll go to hell?" she commented.

"Hell is on earth, and I'm doing my best to purify it from the ones who made it like this," Jillian responded.
