2013 Brooklyn, New York City Malteds Restaurant & Bar (Omniscient POV) As shards of glass scatter to the office floor, the restaurant owner's head abruptly slumped atop her desk, falling lifelessly forward onto the polished wooden surface. Blood pooled instantly under her skull, leaking out from the fresh gunshot in her head and soaking her clothes as the crimson stains began seeping to the ground. Before any of those witnessing could react, another loud crash echoed throughout the room accompanied…-

2013 Yonkers, New York City Abandoned Glenwood Power Plant (Omniscient POV) Inside the dimly lit power plant, three men were seated at a small round wooden table that was situated in the middle of the floor among scattered debris strewn haphazardly everywhere save for where their chairs and table had been placed. Two of the men appeared anxious and nervous as they looked across at the masked man sitting patiently in front of them. "So, tell me again, why exactly am I here?" Crossbones asked bluntly,…

2013 Hell's Kitchen, New York City Warehouse District (Brock POV) "Please...allow me to speak to the one called Crossbones." The man said nervously through clenched teeth. With a sigh, I took a moment to think about his request, considering whether or not meeting another gang without warning was wise given the current circumstances. It wouldn't hurt for me to hear what kind of deal they wanted, especially since the man claimed to represent powerful men from Russia itself. Although unlikely, maybe…

2013 Hell's Kitchen, New York City Warehouse District (Brock POV) "Seriously, are you not going to tell me who made this?!" Dr. Cho inquired for the umpteenth time, as she sat beside me in the passenger seat of the hovercar. Unable to take it anymore I sigh heavily, irritated by her constant pestering questions about the vehicle we were currently flying high above Manhattan in. "I mean really, the craftsmanship is just phenomenal! Incredible attention to detail; each component is perfectly machined…

2013 Seoul, South Korea Mt. Ansan Jarak-gil Trail Two Days Later (Omniscient POV) "Do you really need to bring three bags?" Brock questioned Dr. Cho as she struggled to lug two heavy rolling luggage cases along with a large backpack dragging behind her, causing her considerable difficulty moving fast enough to keep pace with Brock who was walking alongside her. The pair were treading through the restricted grounds surrounding the Mt. Anseanjarakil hiking trail which lies hidden from the main path by…

2013 Seoul, South Korea Mt. Ansan Jarak-gil Trail A few Minutes Later (Brock POV) "So... you and my husband have been secretly trying to stop this...clandestine Hydra organization?" Dr. Cho asked in a hushed whisper, " And the reason you approached me to inform me personally is...you need my help to heal one of your teammates?" She inquired further keeping her voice barely audible while observing my face closely for any sign of deception. Instead of responding verbally, I nodded slowly, gazing…

2013 Seoul, South Korea U-GIN Research Lab, Parking Garage (Dr. Helen Cho POV) 'If you would like to find out what really happened to your husband... Call the number listed.' I read and reread the short sentence three times, wondering what exactly the words 'really happened to your husband' could possibly mean. Was someone actually able to identify what happened to Philip? That can't be true! Can it? Most of the authorities and private detectives deemed his disappearance as being due largely to…

At the same time, little silver Nodes moved throughout the warehouse district cleaning up the mess left behind during the fight. By morning, all of the surviving members of the Carbone had been executed without mercy; their bodies thrown into the furnace…

2013 Hell's Kitchen, New York City Warehouse District (Zeru POV) The warehouse felt empty, with Ava still immobile in the tank and Brock leaving earlier today. I sat alone in silence, in front of my computer screen, watching news reports scroll past as I pondered how much longer until they both would return. It was going to be almost unbearable sitting here waiting patiently day after boring fucking day. Not knowing what to do with that time besides watching TV and doing nothing productive whatsoever…
