"I've had a few encounters with them. They're honest, otherwise they're nice people." he frowned. "I don't think anything will happen today, so we'd better enjoy the night."
He looked over at Sidewinder and Inferno and nodded in their direction. He had a few encounters some months back, but hadn't seen much of them lately. Probably because of his "top secret" work for the mafia, just a couple of assasinations and picking up a "package".

Rex noticed the EMP field while being led into the room by the bulter, when his watch died on him. 'EMP-field, huh. Nice attempt, this guy is better than I thought. But if he has done his research properly he'll know that he would not be the first to fail with that.' Rex thought to himself. The Vulture had too many fail-safes built in to be fully deactivated for long. The Military had tried to fry his machines and weapons with EMP weapons and fields before. His former Mech-suit, the Albatross, had indeed be rendered useless the first time. The Vulture that replaced it was built to be safe for this and everytime it had preformed to be safe from it so far. 'They'll deactivate everything they can without destroying it outright,' Rex figured. 'Which is good, because my Vulture will repower and rearm himself in a few minutes without me and if it fails that he will detonate himself.'
"So as long as I don't hear an explosion, everything'll be just fine." Rex said to himself.
"What was that, sir?" The butler man asked.
"Nothing that concerns you. Get me a pint of stout after we get there, I'm thirsty."
The butler did not reply.
Rex arived into a lounge room and positioned himself against a wall. He lit his pipe and observed the room. There were four other people in the room and the servant that dilivered the initial letter. A young man and a teenage girl were talking to eachother. Rex did not know them, but given the circumstances they were probably on the same side of the law as he was. The other two Rex did know, and as the servant introduced them, they were 'heroes'. Rex had not had a run-in with them yet, but that was probably just a matter of time. These hero-types had a habit of getting in his way. The room itself was luxurious but too gaudy for Rex' taste. Also it had several, not too well hidden for Rex' trained eye, cameras and speakers built in. Rex winked to one of the cameras and commenced puffing on his pipe, which obscured his head a little with clouds of smoke. A little later the other butler brought Rex the pint of stout he ordered. Rex took a minute sip and convinced himself that it wasn't poisoned. Rex listened half to the conversation of the girl and the young man, untill he heard a slight beep from his pocket. It was the remote-caller.
"Good, the Vulture is active again. Now let's see if this man is as good as he claims or if one of his servants is stupid enough to approach it," Rex muttered under his breath.

Scarlet Pia Eline Cecilia Irine Annemarie Ligery felt sun burning her eyes. Was it morning already? She didn't like getting up yet. She opened her eyes anyways to see the sun shine straight to her bedroom through white silk curtains at her south window. Aww, man. It was noon already! She had overslept. Again! She yawned, strecthed her arms and tossed her velvet duvet aside. She then jumped out of bed and flexed her muscles. Time to greet the sun, she decided. She tip-toed to the window and brushed the curtains aside. Bright sunlight filled the room with warmth. She felt better already.
"Mindy!", she shouted for her servant. Instantly the double oak doors to her room opened and a brown haired girl looking to be around 16 in a maid dress entered with a tray filled with food. It was thursday so she had lemon tea, apricot marmelade, toast, orange juice, and two fried eggs.
"Would you like to eat at the balcony, milady?", the young maid inquired. She had a warm bright voice, like that of a young girl. Cecilia liked her. Yes, today would be a very nice day to eat outside.
"Yes, that would be most pleasant.", she said and walked after Mindy to the balcony. Mindy set the breakfast down on a white metal table with detailed ornamentations. Cecilia sat herself down on a warm, white stool and took a sip of the orange juice. Mindy stood besides the table with the tray in her arms.
"Do take seat dear Mindy, I wish company.", Cecilia motioned to another stool on the other side of the small table. Mindy let out a relieved sigh as she sat down on the opposite side of the table. Cecilia looked at her concernedly.
"You have been waiting outside my door all morning again, haven't you? I have told you that you should not overexert yourself because of me.", she looked at her servant with a serious glare.
"Not ALL morning!", Mindy exclaimed. "There was a knock on the door earlier today. I went to answer that. You have a letter.", she went through the folds of her dress and pulled out a letter sealed with wax like in the old days. Cecilia eyed the letter while spreading apricot marmelade over a toast.
"Read it to me, would you?", she said and took a bite out of the toast. Mmmmm... Delicious!
"Dear Miss Ligery. I have watched your progress very carefully from your humble beginnings to this turning point in your life. I congratulate you on your past successes, however, there is so much to experience and accomplish. That is why I wish to invite you to a little ball in my penthouse. You along with some other guests shall meet me in a sorts. Now do not take this as a trap, this is just a social gathering where you can meet others like you. I ask for nothing in return. I expect you to be there at 8 o'clock tonight. Yours sincerely, Zero.", Mindy looked up from the letter to Cecilia and her eyes shined with delight. "A ball! Oh my god! You're going to go to a ball! I will immeaditely set out to prepare some dress combinations for you to choose from, milady!", as she was about to rush to getting dresses and shoes Cecilia took her arm and gently pulled her back.
"You aren't going anywhere with those sore legs my dear. We will have time for dresses later. Eight pm is still far away. Besides, I still haven't finished my breakfast. Now, take a good chunk out of this toast or we'll never get to fitting those dresses.", she smirked to her.
"Fine, have it your way, milady.", Mindy answered looking down but playfully took a bite out the toast Cecilia offered and giggled with her mouth full of toast. "It is not proper for a lady to feed her servant.", the girl said in a forced scloding tone.
"Shut up and eat.", Cecilia answered and stuffed the rest of the toast into her mouth. They both burst into laughing. Cecilia had taken Mindy in littel over a year ago when she had found her on a street. The poor girl had just lost her family at a fire. She had offered to take her in. They had lived together in the mansion since then.

Palmer carefully cut the mans stomach open, intestines, bile and alcohol dribbling out. a young man, college educated, probably, out on the night with his friends for a few drinks. it didn't matter, it never did. he took the limbs of the woman he was with, possibly girlfriend, possibly some stupid floozy he picked up tonight, and gentle pushed her hands into the open wound. harder, and harder he pushed, until he found the heart, and he carefully moved her fingers around it.
he smiled. he could hear the pounding music in the background, and knew that no-one will come in here until a little bit later. the horny couple were just unfortunate. he carefully lifted the mans arm, opened the womans mouth, and shoved hard. all the way down the larinx until the voice box. there was a satifying squelch, and Palmer new he had a break through. holding his breath, he stepped back from his work.
"Come on," he heard a voice, male, and obviously gagging for it.
"this way," female, erotic, enticing. Palmer stepped back, how would they react to see what he had done. "It's just up these...OH MY GOD!"
the pair vomited, too scared and disgusted to scream, Palmer did what only he could do best, and chuckled quietly. the hapless pair fled, and palmer walked away, he needed to get the blood of his hands. it had a nasty habit to... just one more thing.
he placed his hand against the wall and pressed. everyone would know who had done this deed tonight.
(btw, not too gruesome?)

"Geoffrey, I did not mean turn on the EMP field. I meant the platform." said Zero to Geoffrey via com link. "Try again, Geoffrey."
Geoffrey rolled his eyes, went back up to the roof and hit a hidden switch. The entire patio on which the mech-suit was on raised up on its hidden mechanism. It then shifted towards the edge of the building then tipped over. The Vulture, while having great defense mechanisms, was not built with the idea that someone would merely push it over an 80 story building. The Vulture fell all the way down to the parking lot below where it belonged. No cars were destroyed during the operation.

Cecilia is looking at herself from the mirror. She is wearing a golden dress and high heeled shoes with her hair up in a bun. It does look good...but something is still missing. She frowns.
"Let's try the red one again.", she says and starts taking the dress off. Mindy helps her change into the red one with dark flowers. It is a chinese style dress made of finest silk. She looks absolutely dashing in it. But she doesn't have the shoes to go with it! Such a tragedy... She sighs.
"Isn't there an universal law against a wrongness this big?", she cries out. Gathering herself she continues. "We have to go shopping tomorrow. Tonight I'll just have to make do with the white one.", Mindy assists her in taking the red dress off and offers her a white dress with a hem deeply cut from both sides. With the high heeled sandals she got it would fit just right. She slides the dress on and adjust it so it fits properly.
"Would you get the zipper, dear?", she asks from Mindy and turns her head to try and see her better.
"Of course, milady.", she answers and zips her dress. She smiles and continues. "Now let me see you.", she demands.
"I can't! My hair absolutely won't do! It's horrible!", she yells.
"Nonsense, you look beautiful no matter how your hair is milady.", Mindy answers.
"Promise?", Cecilia inquires.
"Promise.", she answer to her and Cecilia turns around. Mindy frowns. "That hair could use some plaids.", she gets a dangerous smirk in return to her remark and continues swiftly. "Now sit down so I can get to it. How does a crown sound?", she asks.
"Crown with two plaids down the back.", Cecilia decides and sits down before the makeup table. Mindy takes the pins holding her hair up and let's Cecilia's the golden hair flow down. She then starts combing it but the eyepatch strap is in her way. She takes a deep breath.
"Cecilia.", she pauses for a while. "You're going to have to remove the eyepatch so I can plaid your hair.", she says in a careful voice. Cecilia stays silent for a while.
"Okay, I'll take it off.", she reaches to the back of her head with her left hand and twist the know open. Then she takes the eyepatch off with her right hand. Slowly she lowers her hands and opens her eyes. A menacing eye stares back at her from the mirror. The eye isn't hers. It belongs to something else. An evil eye. She can feel Mindy tense when the eye meets hers through the mirror. She reaches back over her should with her left hand. Mindy takes it and she squeezes her hand.
"Are you okay, dear?", she asks. Mindy nods.
"It's just that still freaks the hell out of me. Even after so long. I quess it's one of those things you can never fully get used to.", she explains and resumes plaiding her hair. "But even though it feels like someone is eating away at my heart and I feel like running away I never would. I trust you and I know you'd never do anything to hurt me. You're like the big sister I never had. You were there for me when no one else was. I'll always be there for you.", she says and hugs her. Cecilia puts her arms around hers and squeezes them to her chest.
"And I'll always be there for you my dear Mindy, always.", she pauses. "Now get to work or I'll never get to the ball!", she orders her.
"Aye, aye milady!", she answers and giggles before returning to plaiding her hair.
After 7 hours of preparation she is finally ready to go. She walks down to the garage and picks out keys for her 2022 model Nissan GT-R. A proper outfit needs a proper car. She drives it out of the garage and waves goodbye to Mindy, who waves back from the main balcony. She acclerates off going 240 in the slowly curving road with the surroundings just flashing by. Mindy had been teaching her to drive for the last six months. While she was nowhere near as good as the young racer she was a pretty good student. It doesn't take her long to reach Zero's house. She parked her car with a handbrake turn between two other cars and stepped out from her car. Seven minutes late. Perfect. She walked to the doors of the house and knocked. Time for the evening show...

Vlad re-read the letter he was given by a strange man driving a black sports car earlier today. It was an invitation to a party. Vlad decided to be "fashionably" late, as he had a deal to complete first. He was standing near his Unimog and waiting. Soon a black van stopped near him, and a fat man and two thugs exited it.
- I thought you'd never come. Zdarov.
- Zdarov blet.- the fat man spat on the ground.- Got the goods?
- Yeah. Got the bucks?
- Aren't you gonna show it first?
- Show show... When I show it, then you don't want it.- Vlad opened one of the boxes. Two cop uniforms were in it.
- Here.- He showed them a pair of pants.
- Where's the hats?- Asked one of the thugs. Vlad pulled out one.
- Only one.
- Ti ahujiel blet?! How am I going without a hat?
- I think your brain won't fall out without that f¥§@%ng hat.
- Ok.- the fat man looked in Vlad's eyes.- how much?
- 500 bucks for one.
- 500 for such a rag?
- And with only one hat!
- Don't like it, then make it yourselves.
- 400.
- I'm not going lower Sasha. Take it or leave it.
- 450.
- Ti sto blet? Does this looks like a market to you?!- he took back the clothes and closed the box.
- Items aren't new. Hat- one. You're selling s#!t!
- I'm going to sell to the others then.- He walked over to the trucks door. The fat man was sweating, and his eye twiched when he counted the money. Vlad took the cash and handed him the box.
- If you need anything else, you know how to find me.
The three didn't said a word, just sat in the wan an drove off.
Vlad returned home to prepare. He decided to go wearing his current attire, which was composed of camo pants, combat boots, black sleeveless t-shirt and several holders in which his sawn off shotgun, a large hunting knife and his sidearm, an old but still funcioning Tokarev TT rested. He exited the warehouse which was his home and drove to Zero's residence.

Rex Mallard was being patient, more than he normally was. He skillfully ignored the messages of the intercom, they weren't ment for him. He was simply standing there smoking and sipping from his stout. Until his remote caller beeped again, though a bit louder than the first-time. He fished it out of his pocket to see what the status screen had to say.
[Large impact, loss of gunlight, loss of headlight, no other loss of function. Starting selfrighting procedure. Emergency acces?]
Rex aborted, he did not want to be picked up. Yet. He would be a bad guest if he did. He requested the location. The screen showed a series of numbers, indicating that it was on ground-level.
Rex accesed the remote-controll function, put down his ale and moved to the window to better see what he was doing. He moved the Vulture remotely to a less easily seen location and switched on the security again. He was going to be a good sport about this, for now.
"Haven't regretted making this little gizmo yet." Rex muttered and walked back to his previous spot and dropped the remote-caller back in his coatpocket.
Having settled himself again, Rex tasted his pipe had nearly reached the end of this session. The tabaco would soon be burnt entirely, so he looked around for an ashtray. The 'heroes' were still sitting on one of the couches and were looking nervous, the other guests were still busy with their banter, no ashtray though. Zero did not smoke apearantly, or at least not in this room. None of the servants were around either.
"Let's see if someone is actualy watching those cameras." Rex said, more to himself but loud enough for the other guests to pick up, rivulets of smoke coming from his mouth. He turned to face the camera directly. Winked at it again, indicated his pipe and mimed he wanted to tap it out. Now he waited, to see if there was a response.

Carrie suddenly noticed the old man. She was much too busy loudly vocalising how long it was going to take. "Is this going to be forever?" she cried out. It was loud and annoying and she was pointing and she really wanted to see Zero now, so she didn't understand why she couldn't. But the old man reminded her of someone.
"Hey, you! Did you used to work for the government?" she cried loudly, diverting the attention away from Kane and the old man.

"I prefer to cause my death myself. And I'm not gonna mess things up here, I just asked for an ashtray. Besides if Zero objected to my smoking, he'd 've made himself heard by now." Rex replied. "Besides Zero is watching us," he added in conspirical tone."He can request his servants to come over when he sees we need them, so we would not have to go looking for them ourselves. And yes, I did work for the Navy. But they scr#wed me over. So I don't anymore."

"Ah, Geoffrey, our other guests have arrived. Show them in. Then let them into the dining hall." said Zero to his trusty servant.
"Of course, sir." replied Geoffrey. He welcomed the other guests into the lounge then said to them all, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Zero shall meet you all in the dining hall. This way please."
He and the other butlers then led the way to a large dining room. In the middle was a massive dining table with all sorts of delicious food and drinks there. At the head of the table sat Zero with his ebony, ruby topped cane.
"Welcome." said Zero, "Please, take your seats, and mind the floor, it is rather valuable."

Rex quickly grabbed his half-full pint and followed the servants. He got offered the ashtray he requested on the way there and he cleaned his pipe quickly, the scraping could wait.
Rex seated himself at the opposite end of the table, on one of the corners. Content he could observe everything from there he leaned back a bit and took another sip from his pint. He'd wait to be invited to the food before he began. Not that he was particularly hungry. 'Let's see how this plays out,' he thought to himself, restraining the urge to mutter his thoughts.

Vlad had arrived to Zero's residence along with a young blonde woman who was driving a sports car. To Vlad they were all the same. Shining fragile toys with a jet engine. He parked his motorcycle near the other vehicles. He took off his german army helmet which came with pilots goggles, and had a spade airbrushed on it. He handed it to a servant of Zero's, and followed another one to the mansion. It was luxurious, but not tasteless as some of his former employers. Zero sure was an enthusiast art collector. Vlad was no expert, but recognised some works from Pablo Picasso, Van Gogh and other famous artists. He finally camed to the exquisite dining hall, where some of the other guests were already present, chatting and feasting.
- Evening.- said Vlad and sat down. He poured some spring water. While drinking he examined the other guests. A teen girl and a bit older boy were talking to each other. The other one was a bitter old man which had some resemblance to a sea captain. Vlad put some of the steaks and vegetables into his plate. He decided to wait before the last guest arives, and then start to dig in. He looked at the table and sighed. There were a hell of silverware dining tools, all in different shape and size. Etiquette- that's one thing he wasn't trained in.

Right before Vlad entered the dining hall, Zero said to his already present guests, "Please, come, sit down and eat. I am not going to make a speech or something of that nature. You, Inferno, why don't you come sit next to me. I have procured a very rare book on pyrotechnics that I believe will interest you greatly."

Rex helped himself to a few bits of meat, some fried patatoes and something that looked to be shepherd's pie. But not before he noticed Zero drinking himself. As he ate he carefully observed the other guests. Zero was discussing the book he mentioned with Inferno, who looked slightly nervous. The girl was chattering away and amazingly had time to eat between her torrent of words. The young man was eating as well and seemed to listen to the girl. Sidewinder, the other "hero", had helped himself to some food but wasn't eating, though he was looking more nervous than his colleague.
Later a virtual man-mountian in camo's came in, sat down and helped himself to some food. He looked be befuddled by the amount of cutlery that was present but eventually settled for a mismatched knife and fork.
Not much later a woman with an eyepatch came in and helped herself to some food as well. She seemed to be more versed to the rules of dining and had a dignified air to her.
Rex downed the last of his stout and ordered a new one. 'A fancy dinner-party, huh. I'm beginning to get the feeling I'm wasting my time here. I'll wait a bit 'till after desert, but if this is just a social get-together I'm leaving after that.' Rex thought.

Cecilia takes spoonfull of the soup served as appetizer. Chanterelle soup. Mm-m. Excellent. The cheff is good. She takes another spoonful. Delightfully full but still light enough for first round. A female servant that had opened the doors for her when she had arrived a little earlier also directed her to the dining room. Others were already seated when she arrived so all eyes were on her when she entered. She had confidently walked to a seat next to the only woman there and seated herself. Woman was a little misleading term for her. She appeared to be little more than a teenager. Other quests were all men. Two cosplay heroes he recognised from the news. Zero was sitting at the end of the table as the master of the house should. A man looking like he was from the navy, who at least knew how to act properly. A young man on the other side of the woman and the man who had arrived witht eh motorcycle who couldn't tell a salad for from the dinner fork. Cecilia took another spoonfull of the soup while waiting for the younger woman to introduce herself as was expected.

Zero didn't put any food onto his plate or eat anything. He only drank his scotch whiskey. He kept on talking to Inferno as if they were great friends. Inferno merely replied with short and slightly fearful answers.
"Come now, Inferno! We have a great assortment of people here! Don't ruin the party! Eat, talk, drink, dance, sing, whatever! But be social! This is a happy event! Don't look down on others simply because of how they use their gifts! Evil is a result of free will, and you and Terrence must learn to accept that! Come now, tell me about your life! How's school going?"
Inferno was taken aback by the question and stuttered, "What? Uhh, umm, its good..."
"Good grades, I hope?" replied Zero.
"Uhh, yeah. Very good grades."
Zero laughed and said, "I doubt it, you heroics have lessened the amount of time you spend studying. Your last report card said that you have a 2.3 Gpa. You need to finish high school, then go on to your current profession. That's how I did it and its worked out pretty well. I mean...look at me now! Life is bliss because I waited for the opportune moment."
Terrence couldn't hold it any longer and said, "And what about Paladin? Your 'friend', eh? Is life now bliss because you murdered him, your own friend?!"
The table went silent at the outburst.
"You and your cohorts disgust me! I will have nothing to do with this! Goodbye! I'm leaving, and Inferno, I suggest you do too."
Zero chuckled as if Terrence was jumping around like an idiot then replied, "Terrence, calm yourself. I did what had to be done. You may not understand it now, because you are young and naive, but eventually, you will understand what I had to go through."
Zero tapped his head with his fingers and then said, "Don't worry, I have seen it."
Terrence looked horrified and ran out of the building.
