2013 Hell's Kitchen, New York Warehouse District (Brock POV) I waited in the large warehouse as Zeru worked feverishly on finishing the modifications necessary to complete his new hovercraft design. With each passing hour, the machine became increasingly more refined until, eventually, Zeru declared completion and proudly showed me the newly modified aircraft. Once completed, it resembled something straight out of science fiction movies, sleek lines covered with glossy chrome-plated armor…-

2013 Hell's Kitchen, New York Burren Club The Next Day (Omniscient POV) A few hours after dawn breaks over Hell's Kitchen, a large crowd gathers along the sidewalk to gaze at the horrific sight hanging above the doorway of the Burren Club.

Someone asks curiously pointing upwards at the severed head dangling above…

2013 Hell's Kitchen, New York Burren Club A few Hours Later (Omniscient POV) The streets of Hell's Kitchen were noticeably quieter this night compared to usual. Normally filled with cars honking loudly and incessantly, people rushing everywhere trying to catch taxis and buses, and police sirens blaring nonstop. Tonight, however, silence reigned supreme. Nothing moved except for the occasional street light blinking intermittently giving the impression of eerie darkness haunting the city. Even the wind…

2013 Hell's Kitchen, New York City Warehouse District (Omniscient POV) Moving quickly through the shadows as the sun sets overhead, seven armed gunmen approach a large warehouse located at the edge of the district. Two of them carry assault rifles slung casually across their backs while the others hold submachine guns holstered securely beneath their jackets.

2013 Hell's Kitchen, New York Warehouse District A Few Days later (Omniscient POV) In the old dilapidated warehouse district of Hell's Kitchen, one building stood out amongst the others as flashes of purple light illuminated from within the building every now and then. Moving inside, we see several computer servers humming softly, their noise barely audible over the sounds of traffic from outside the building. Next to the servers was a young man, typing away at a keyboard as seven small silver nodes…

2013 San Francisco, California Pym Manor (Omniscient POV) As Ava took care of her business upstairs, Brock searched around the manor for any clues that might lead him to something that would help cure her. Screams rang out from upstairs followed by the scent of blood but Brock just ignored them as he began by checking the study, which contained a number of scientific journals and files detailing Pym's work on various projects. He also made sure to check the bathroom and bedroom where Pym had slept.…

2013 San Francisco, California Few Miles Away From Private Jet Terminal Two Days Later (Brock POV) I glance out of the small plane's window as we drift over the clouds and watch them roll by. Zeru stares excitedly out the window as Ava sits across from me in silence. Even through her full body armor, I notice she looks tired, worn down by the stress and strain of the past two days. As we get closer to our destination, I see her leg fidgeting nervously beneath the table between us. "Are you okay?" I…

Everyone in the organization seemed to be getting into the spirit of things tonight as I pass by various corridors of the building and make my way toward the upper levels, where the festivities would be taking place.

2012 Hell's Kitchen, New York Warehouse District (Brock POV) After taking care of the thugs from earlier, I led my small group to a place where we could talk in private. We were currently standing in the middle of a large empty warehouse in the most lawless neighborhood in New York City, Hell's Kitchen. It was a simple building made of brick and concrete, though it wasn't exactly brand new. It probably hadn't been used in decades and looked like it was falling apart in some places. There were barely…

2012 Manhattan, New York East Harlem Alleyway Behind The Red Fish Blue Restaurant One Day Later (Omniscient POV) The night sky was dark and ominous as the moon hung low in the sky, casting its eerie glow over the city as Brock stood in the dirty alleyway behind a subpar Italian eatery awfully dubbed the Red Fish Blue restaurant. A small figure could be seen seated on the ground in the corner of the dimly lit alley, hunched over a bowl of soup as he ate ravenously. Brock had been watching the young…
