RWBY: Logan

A Visit To Caliban's

While Wolverine and the X-Men were on their way to Sentinel Island...

Cinder Fall and Victor Creed were ordered to set up a special meeting with all of the super villains by Cinder's Mistress. "Why are we gathering these losers?" asked Victor. Cinder answered, "During this time all of the heroes will be there in their unwavering support for the Vytal Festival." Victor asked, "Exactly what kind of heroes?" Cinder replied, "The huntsmen and huntresses, the Avengers, and both the old and new generation of the X-Men." Cinder looked at Victor and stated, "I hear that three of your former teammates are in the new generation of X-Men." Victor asked, "Which ones?" Cinder said, "Wade Wilson, John Wraith, and your half brother." Victor gave her a smirk as he asked, "Is that right?" Cinder nodded at him until unexpectedly a crazed boy ran pass them clutching a box of mysterious origin. The boy looked at them and smiled insanely, "You think you can my enhancers?! No way! HAHAHAHA!" Victor back palmed the boy in the face as he grabbed his leg and held him upside down. That made the box open and a cup popped out as it leaked a mysterious fluid. The boy looked at Victor as he shuddered with fright. Cinder looked at the cup and picked it up. She also found a syringe. Victor looked at it and asked, "Drugs? What was supposed to be so important about it?" The boy answered, "The guy who sold it to me said it was a genetic and semblance enhancing drug. I was going to use it so I could show Signal that I am capable of entering their school!" Cinder looked at the cup's logo and noticed it looked vaguely familiar. It said "Essex Corp." Cinder asked, "Do you have any idea where this 'guy' got it from?" The boy answered, "No." Victor snarled as his claws began to extend from his fingers. The boy panicked, "But I heard of someone who can tell you where that came from! But he doesn't do it for free!" Cinder cringed, "Tell me, is it an albino that refers to himself in the third person?" The boy nodded, "Yeah, that's it!" Victor threw the boy into an alley as he asked, "How do you know someone like that?" Cinder sighed, "Unfortunately, I just do."

Inside of a building full of Faunus, semblance beings, and psychics, the semblance tracking albino known as Caliban was counting his lien. Then he sensed two people enter as he smiled in a Icelandic accent, "Ms. Fall, how pleasant to see you after all this time. How long ago did you pay Caliban to help you find Mercury and Emerald? And you brought a friend with you." Cinder Fall sighed as Victor Creed snarled. Cinder frowned, "We need your help on something." Caliban asked uninterested, "Such as?" Cinder showed him the empty cup that made Caliban nearly jump. "Where did you find that?" asked Caliban. Victor replied, "From a crazy junkie." Cinder observed, "From the looks of it, you know what it is and where it comes from." Caliban gave them a cold smile as he stated, "No matter which face you put on, Caliban knows who you are. And if there is anything regarding people with semblances, Caliban knows it, Ms. Fall." Cinder threatened, "Tell where this comes from or..." Caliban taunted, "Or you will kill Caliban? If you're going to kill Caliban, at least do it outside. Caliban just had these floors mopped. But you wouldn't risk killing the only semblance tracker in the world, do you Ms. Fall?" Cinder sighed, knowing Caliban was right. She handed both the cup and a few lien to Caliban who asked, "Now was that so hard?" He looked at the cup's logo as he said, "Your junkie knew exactly what to buy. An semblance and genetic enhancement drug. Created by the shadowy Essex Corporation." Victor asked, "What is the Essex Corporation?" Caliban answered, "A company that collects DNA of powerful semblance huntsmen and huntresses and uses the DNA to create living weapons. Perhaps continuing the work of Weapon X." Cinder asked, "How does the Essex Corporation collect the DNA?" Caliban shrugged, "Robbing graves, assassination, stealing it from hospitals, who knows. But the owners' enforcers, the Marauders personally deliver the DNA samples by van to the Essex Corporation." Cinder asked, "Who is the owner?" Caliban replied, "Caliban does not know, but Caliban knows that the owner himself is very sinister in his work. That is all Caliban can offer." Cinder and Victor left as Caliban waved them goodbye mockingly.
