I returned to the tower two week later. I was no longer Sage, the wannabe Dredgen. Sage's helmet was found with thorns imbedded in it. I called myself Cap, I wore new gear all together. I even placed weights in my boots to make my walk look different.
With the rising number of new lights, I was just another face in the crowd.

I wore a help of Optimacy, Hardy's Control Gauntlets and Greaves, an Intrepid Exploit Plate as my chest piece, and a Sunbreakers mark. My first stop would be with Claud.

That Exo's hugs always felt the warmest. He sat me down and I told  him everything. I offered back his Bind but refused it.

"I gave this to Sage, he said he would return it" He winked and patted my back one last time. Before sending me off he handed me a voice modulator.

I marched through the tower and into my room. I locked the door behind me but was pushed against the wall.
A knife grazed my neck as Ajisai spat. "Give me one good reason I shouldn't snuff out your light!"

"Hi babe, I missed you too" I chuckled lightly, turning to face her

She stumbled back and smacked my helmet off of my head. She froze examining my face before slapping me again. "FOR ONE WEEK I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! YOU WERE GONE FOR TWO!" She barked and punched me repeatedly in the chest.

I slowly wrapped my arms around her and held her close to me. I kissed her deeply and passionately. Her lips were as soft and gentle as ever.

"I'm sorry love, I had to fake my death. I wanted us to live in peace. Well as much peace as we can have." I smiled and caressed her cheek

She rubbed against my hand and kissed my hand "Fine, I forgive you..."

"Now, let's make love and make up for lost time" I smirked and undid my armor

She blushed and slapped me again.

For the rest of day and night we had each. It was the first night in two week that I slept comfortablely and not in my ship stuck in orbit.

The next morning I flew over to a Gambit match.

The Drifter didn't have a problem recognizing me. Maybe he had done something similar before, who knows at this point? He gave me a spot on the losing team.

I scanned my opponents, looking at their gear and cocking my sniper.

"Careful hotshots, this man here is a genuine killer. He has a thing for swords and snipers so I hope your ready to for the fight of your lives!" He chanted with his fox like smile

The enemy team and my team began to mumble amongst each other. Asking who I was.

"Let me make this clear, since y'all are dumber than a bunch of thrall. That there is The Captain." The Drifter shouted with euphoria

"The Captain of the Void."

"Transmat FIRING!"
