Brockton Bay
Wards HQ
January 2011

Missy Biron, best known as the senior ward, in time on the team alone, Vista, groaned, the cut on her chest still ached. The fight with Hookwolf was only a week ago, it was closing, it wasn't infected, but it did still hurt. She didn't bring it up to anyone, they'd treat her like the team baby if she did.
She was able to stitch it up herself. It must have done something else, the pain, the close call with death, it must have lead to a second trigger event, her powers weren't as right. She could still shrink and expand distances, but it took more focus, more effort, and the growth and shrinking of
That wasn't the weird part, she was maybe downgraded to a Shaker 7, but the strange thing was....there was....this lady, was with her. She may be a Stranger who figured out her identity while she was hurt by Hook Wolf. She basically was ignored by everyone and everything, Vista was the only one that knew of their existence, leaving it up to her, to stop her.

Sitting in the Wards HQ, a tour group came in to meet them. The woman was sitting in a chair, lounging a bit, she glanced at Dean, she'd been making comments that annoyed Vista constantly.

"My, I love a paladin, especially when they have a body like him." She said, licking her overly wide lips that stretched across her cheeks.

Vista looked back, seeing her lounging on the table. Her skin had sections of scales that were on the edges of her exposed skin. The clothes looked more like that of a pin up from a 80's metal album cover. She looked even a bit serpentine with how her nose and brow came together

She was maybe 6'5, and had a model's figure. Her hair was as dark as the void.

"Come on, little thing. Why don't you go somewhere more exciting, you being a show pony only has so much entertainment value. Maybe you can show me that magic trick you do, the distance one." She requested, more bored.

"Hey, Vista. What's up? You seem annoyed about something?" Gallant asked as the tour group was led out of the Wards HQ.

"Ummmmm, can you tell me how many people you feel....in this room?" Vista said

Dean looked at Vista, confused.

"7... there are 7 of us." he said.

"Oh sweetie. It's cute to think they can see me. But I am more safe from detection due to this lively little thing." The woman said, holding up her left hand, showing off her many rings on her hand.

Vista looked at Triumph, his arms crossed.

"Vista. Are you sure you are ok?" He asked.

"I don't feel weird....sure....my power is a bit weaker, after my fight with Hook wolf, but...I don't know. I think I'm just being....worried that something else happened." Vista said.

"But something did happen. It seems my Patron chose to strand me here in your mind, trapping me with you in this plain. I can even feel the pact you made, it's in your head. But....You know what they say about two masters." the woman said, walking over to Vista, kneeling behind her and whispering in her ear.

"Get away!" She said, Vista waved, trying to push her away.

"Vista. Are you sure you are ok?" Clockblocker asked.

"Y...yeah. I'm ok." Vista answered, looking at the team of the Wards.

She walked to her room, the woman following her.

"You know, I know when someone is repressing love, and you most certainly are keeping that box held tight. Why not indulge them." She said,

"Why should I even listen to you?" Vista asked.
