Seeker POV
I was currently running from rooftop to rooftop as I was making my way towards Junior's Bar. I still had somethings to clear up and I certainly couldn't do it while being in broad daylight. As I made my way between the rooftops, I saw the bar as I landed on the ground and headed across.

Bouncer: Seeker, glad you made it.

Seeker: I aim to impress.

Bouncer: Good to know, Junior's waiting for you on the inside.

Seeker: Got it.

As I walked inside, the music was loud as I walked through the building. As I was halfway to the counter, however, I was stopped by Melanie and Militia, aka, the Malachite Twins.

Melanie: Hey there Seeker, haven't seen you in a while.

Seeker: I've been pretty busy.

Mil: We can tell. So, how are things going for you Mr. Vigilante?

Seeker: Same old same old. Anyways, I came to talk with Junior. I'll see ya both later.

Both: Later Seeker.

They then walked past as I continued walking towards Junior. When I sat down, he came up to me and smiled.

Junior: Well, Seeker, haven't seen you since you left for Mistral. How've you been buddy?

Seeker: I've been doing alright, how about yourself.

Junior: Pretty okay. What are you looking for this time?

Seeker: Work. I need something that'll pay a bit of lien when I'm not out fighting crime.

Junior: Well, I am in need of some more body guards, how about it?

Seeker: Seems reasonable. Alright, I'm in.

Junior: Good to know. Now, your job is simple, all you have to do is break up any fights that happen here and keep them from getting worse.

Seeker: Seems easy enough.

Junior: That's what most think, but then again...

Seeker: When is anything easy?

Junior: Right.

As we shared a laugh, we heard someone come in as I looked and saw him, Roman Torchwick. He's the reason that I am who I am now. I decided to head over to someplace that wasn't being guarded as I continued to look over the crowd. I saw both him and Junior talking as Junior motioned for me to come back over.

Seeker: 'I've got a bad feeling about this.' What's up boss?

Junior: Well, you see...

Roman: Yes, yes, that's quite enough. Now, I've heard a lot about you.

Seeker: Okay?

Roman: I have a proposition for you, one that no one would turn down.

Seeker: What?

Roman: I'm looking for muscle to help me with a certain...

Seeker: No.
