(Oops..forgot you were cloaked..)

Chromium didnt fly outside just yet. Haze was injured and he would not leave her side. His black cloak swayed around his feet with this wind and his eyes never broke Flame's gaze.

"Haze, someone to see you." Chromium called inside. He remorphed his arm again and stepped aside, extending his arm in the "Come in" motion.

"I trust that you will conduct yourself accoridingly Flame. I desire no battle to be fought in my home."

"No. That was some girl, I dont know how I didnt feel her." Flame glanced at Chromium, wary of any attacks.

Chromium walked to his throne like chair and sat down. He lit his pipe again and took a puff.

"Well, thats when I came in and took you out of the fight Haze. Unfortunately, I did have to attack Flame in the process. I was unsure of who injured you Haze."

Yeah I'm okay. Sort of, Vandal seriously messed with my head. Haze informed Flame directly.

Haze didn't miss the fact that both guys seemed rather protective, it was nice since they both knew exactly what she was. "Thanks guys. So what happened to Vandal?"

Chromium saw Flame looking around at the quant dwelling he called home.

"I realize this small dwelling may not suit you Flame, but take into account that I have nearly no money. Also that I arrived in Mission City not long ago. This is all I have at the moment." Chromium said to Flame as he puffed his pipe some more.

"But continue..."

"It was nothing" Flame said quickly.
He has someone else there, from before I talked to him, a woman. He then described Oni's captive to Haze I dont know if shes still alive, but I think she is, Oni probably had a plan for her.

After saving Voidhunter, Oni & Jericho returned to Oni's bunker with their new comrade. Jericho explained what was going to go down the next day, as Oni went into his captive room.

There they were, side by side. Starbright and Vandal, each with a powerful IV drip in her arm.

While at the prison, Oni had released just about every supercriminal there, so the heroes would be distracted during Oni's night of glory. But right then, Oni wasn't worried about the do-gooders; He was worried about Haze. The girl was powerful, and Oni knew it. She was the middle ground, the thing that could possibly topple Oni's house of cards.

"Must be goin soft. Oughta get my head examined..." Oni mumbled as he turned off Starbirght's IV.

Oni lifted Starbright, who was still unconscious as the drugs had yet to wear off, and carried her into his main room. Just as a safety precaution, he did tye her to a chair with some non-irritating bondage so she wouldn't ice him when she awoke.

"So both Starbright and Vandal are Oni's prisoners... I am not amused. I don't like Oni. He is an arrogant fool and the main reason I haven't sided with his revolution. The man disgusts me. Someone like him with the power he has...its unfortunate." Chromium said to his two guests. He was about to suggest launching an assault on Oni's base to Haze, however Flame was still there, and with all honesty Chromium wasn't sure if he should say such a thing while he was there.

Jericho had left Oni at the base figuring he could take care of himself and went where he always went on thursday. To church. This was the only time Jericho went by his real name, and was completely unarmed. Smith tried to do this more often these days and avoid killing people unless they deserved it. He sat through the service, an just felt better. Afterwards, Smith went back to his car, re-armed himself, started the car, and drove off.
