HE OPENED the door, cold sweeping past them as they entered the foyer. Looking around, they took in the narrow expanse, a pair of stilettos coming to view to their left. Moving forward, they cast their gazes around, curiosity peaking in the teen as she followed the scientist.

"Chloe?" Dr. Cello moved to the end of the hall.

"Hey, you in here?" GoGo pocketed her hands.

They entered the living room, white dominating the view along with matching furniture and a black rug at the centre. Static met their ears as they walked, the TV's flicker illuminating the room dimly. Moving inward, surprise dilated their eyes, their gaze fixed to the left side of the expanse,

Blood droplets splattered on the floor, bullet casings littering around with cracks lining up the wall. Shards of glass crunched under the girl's foot, a frown crossing her face as the sticky fluid stained her shoe. Dr. Cello ran out of the room, moving into the hall to look around.

Moving through the apartment, the scientist began his search, quickly moving furniture aside as he progressed. Finding nothing in the house, he returned to the living room, finding the teen looking around curiously. Fishing his phone out, he dialled a phone number.

"Hello, 911?"

"I HOPE she's okay." Honey Lemon turned to him.

"This doesn't make any sense," Wasabi crossed his legs, "God, who could've done this?"

Getting off the phone, Dr. Cello approached the others who sat in the centre of the room. Leaning back, Hiro winced slightly as a loud ringing invaded his ears, a headache engulfing his thoughts as his pain increased. Worry exuded in Honey's expression, her eyes latching to the floor as her mind raced.

"Just talked to the cops, they've got nothing so far." Dr. Cello took a seat.

"Well, you can't really expect anything after half an hour." GoGo frowned slightly.

"Could this be connected to the building that crashed?" Fred gestured, "Maybe someone's got some plan in the works.

"Attack a building, killing hundreds of random people and then capture a new assistant at a university far away from the building? It doesn't tie up." Hiro crossed his arms.

"Things didn't tie up when we dealt with the Crimson Phantom, maybe it's a similar situation." Honey looked around the room.

"I highly doubt it." Hiro shook his head, "This isn't related, but if it is, what could someone gain from it?"

The door swung open, drawing everyone's attention as Jack entered the room. Frowning deeply, he paced around, pocketing his hands as he breathed angrily. Calming himself, he turned to the others in the room, his voice stifled from a shout.

"I ...," he sighed, "I need your help."

"With what?" Fred raised his brow.

"You heard the news, huh?" Honey turned to Jack.

"I guess I have no choice," Jack sighed slowly, "Let us just get one thing straight, this is classified information, but I feel that since you were students here, I should let you in on what's going on here."

"Sure, spill it." GoGo crossed her leg.

"Chloe Martin is a SHIELD agent like myself and she was on a mission to gather intel on SFIT." Jack sat down.

"Why?" Hiro raised his brow.

"It was because of your brother, Tadashi's death."

"Tadashi? What does this have to do with him?" Hiro leaned toward him.
