| Jr stepped into the office, adjusting his tie. He walked behind the desk and took a seat in the large leather chair, once belonging to his grandfather, then his father, now him. Running one of his hands across the polished surface of the desk brought the computer to life, causing several screens to appear. Like he usually did, he began to monitor the thousands upon thousands of cameras located all around Edge, and also satellite views of other areas of the planet.
There was the usual. Crime, poverty, drug sales, prostitution. Some crimes he let slide, because it was just part of things and gave the police something to do. If it got out of control though, like the dealer responsible for 6 deaths in Zero Sum, then that was when he involved himself. A camera came to show Edge Academy, and 2 guys lying on the ground that looked familiar.
Hi No Seishin appeared standing next to him, looking like she was both on fire and made of fire at the same time. "Hey, aren't those 2 of the morons who tried to ruin your date with Niala that day a few months back?" she asked.
"Yeah... I wonder what happened to them?" Jr asked after he'd zoomed in to confirm that it was really them. He began to rewind until before the first hour bell rang. There had been a scene. Starlette was approached by the one with the hair and the huge guy, along with 3 others. It looked like they were attempting to get their hooks into the new girl.
"Who's she?" Hi no asked.
"Her name is Starlette. An alien destroyed the city she used to live in so she moved here with her grandmother. I think she's a sort of witch. She has a shop not far from here that sells magic spells."
"Aliens and witches? I must have missed a lot during my hibernation..."
"Yeah, there's been all kinds of weirdness going on... And I think we're only in the beginning of it..."
Jr and Hi No watched the whole thing. Yata wiped the floor with the hair guy and his cronies. Jr could see Holeman and Amaranth not far away watching, both looking like they'd jump in, but Yata was in a league of his own. Other people showed up soon after, and Jr noticed that they all looked alike, so this had to be his family. After what looked like a heated argument, his brothers and sisters tried causing him physical harm, and failed.
"The kid with the board with the wheels on it is something else. Wasn't he there with those other two that day? It doesn't seem like they're friends anymore..." said Hi No, placing her hands on her hips.
"Yeah, he was. I brought him into The Company. He's been loyal and doing a good job so far too. My sister hired him as a bouncer at her club downstairs. He could be the Security Manager down there by now, but surprisingly he turned it down."
A camera then picked up a certain line of expensive black cars. The hood ornament was a red cross. Templars. It made Jr frown some. It also made him start to think. He pressed a button on the desk that activated the intercom, and pressed another button for a specific room. "Hey, Jayr? Could you come up here when you have the chance? I wanna talk to you about something," he asked.
The Templars were headed into one of the rich neighborhoods. There was some sort of interference that made viewing the area through the cameras next to impossible. Jr began to suspect this was on purpose. There were several other areas just like this throughout many areas of the city, making Jr suspect more Templars... | |

| That alien kid leveled a whole city and had a new transformation. Alec put a bug in his ear about making friends and joining up though, and waited to see how that would turn out. If he didn't want to join The Company because of Nanalie and especially Vigilante, then Alec would do his damnest to get him over in Makkura. Alec was impressed with what he'd seen, and knew it would be a waste, as well as lead to a big mess and the deaths of many others if they were to fight that kid. He wasn't going down easy.
He shot through the skies above Edge in a blinding fashion until reaching Darkman Tower, sure that Dez had either found her way back there by now, or gone back to Sunset. He didn't know where the Malkavian went, but if she caused some trouble, Alec would probably catch wind of it sooner or later. Opening the window of the office, Alec stepped in with his sarcastic grin, to see the kid and Hi No Seishin.
"Greetings my peoples, fill me in on what i've been missing." | |

| ”Sure, be up in a minute.”, Jayr responded instantly. She had spent a lot of time around the tower over the past few days, but she hadn't been relaxing. Instead, she had been becoming better acquainted to the world around her – learning what she could both about Edge City and the surrounding lands. She had also been attempting to re-connect with any old friends that she could rely on – those who hadn't technically been a member of the Assassin's but whom she knew she could count on regardless. There had been only one – a female older then her who had recently been burnt out of her city – Zaqar.
Jayr headed down the hall and to the elevator she was becoming all too used to. A button press later and she was up on the thousandth floor and heading down the hallway. She walked into Junior's office, eyebrows raised in question. ”Hey. What's going on?”, she asked curiously.
Her arms folded across her chest and she glanced towards Alec before turning her attention back onto Junior and the firey female behind him: her curiosity was peaked. | |

| His father entered the office from his trip to Velo, to try talking some sense into the alien kid. Hi No went to hug him, knowing who he was even though his appearance changed and not seeming to really care. Jayr entered not long after that.
"Well dad, we have a new member, he name's Starlette. She's sort of a witch, she's human, but a magician. She owns a magic shop not very far from here. I had some security systems installed into their building, and I put Yata in charge of watching over the neighborhood since Templars tried extorting her. She can make some pretty powerful stuff. Besides that, nothing much has been up..."
Jr looked towards Jayr. "So, have you managed to get in contact with anyone besides grandpa Darkman?... Are any of your people even still alive, or are you truly the last one? And of so, have you considered starting the Assassins over?"
If she started the Assassin Order over, Jr would help out the best way he could. With him having to stay in the office most of the time, it would be nice to have am extra organization along side his to hit the streets and handle these Templars. "If you look at this screen here, it seems our cameras can't look through the interference... these are likely Templar hideouts. As you can see, there's a lot of them, all over the city. There's no telling how many more there are in the world... These guys are everywhere. If we're gonna take it to these guys, we're gonna have to do some recruiting." | |

| Alec hugged Hi No Seishin back when she hugged him. She didn't seem surprised that he had changed up his look some. Alec listened as Jr explained that he'd brought a magician girl who could cook up some powerful spells named Starlette, who also had a magic shop in the city. Maybe one of these days he'd go check it out.
"Interesting. I was wondering who the new girl was on my phone. And Yata must be doing good if you gave him that kinda responsibility..."
Jayr came in, and Alec nodded to her when she looked at him. Jr asked if there were any Assassins left, and talked about starting the Assassin Order over. It was a good idea. He said there were Templar hideouts all over, their areas masked with some kind of interference. Seeing so many of them only made Alec grin some. A new war was brewing it seemed, only now it wasn't Kingdom clowns who stole moves and made clones.
"I'll be willing to help out in that endeavor, that is, if the family and responsibilities back home don't come calling..." | |

| Jayr wasn't at all surprised to hear that the Templar's tried exploiting someone who was a witch: the majority of them from what she knew were still human, and highly jealous of the powers and abilities so widely displayed now in this modern world. So, for the Templar's to attempt to take advantage of a shop selling magical wares and items? It was definitely standard operating procedure for the scumbags. Still, Jayr was very glad to hear that their attempts to had been stopped, and the place was now under protection. She could only imagine the type of wares that were sold there, and how powerful they were, if the Templar's wanted their hands on them.
At Junior's question she nodded. ”I was able to get into contact with one person; an old friend of mine named Zaqar. Apparently, she was in Velo City when it was attacked. Her and I go way back – she once saved my life a very long time ago. She's not an assassin, but I trust her completely. However, there's one issue... she's an elder of the Malkavian clan. I'm not entirely sure if you two are familiar with it? Anyway, the creator of the clan, Malkav, was her sire, and her lover. So, she tends to be a bit mad. But, she means well and she's bloody useful for getting and finding information.” Zaqar felt it was better to warn them now about her, and get any questions out of the way they might have about the Malkavian, before she bothered bringing the other female around – especially when her crazed behavior could sometimes be taken badly. | |

| "Hmm. Bring back the Assassins, huh? Good idea, grandson. It looks like this Assassin and Templar thing is going to begin anew, if what i'm seeing on that screen there is correct..."
The Company founder walked into the office that once belonged to him. Dressed in all black like usual, Darkman stepped over near the desk with a cigarette hanging from his lips, a smoke trail following him as he walked. Once near the desk he opened one of the drawers to take out an ash tray, flicking the cigarette within it, before returning it to his lips, taking a drag, and exhaling the smoke while looking at the many Templar hideouts on the screen.
"I saw this day coming the last time I put my hands on that apple. I knew the Assassins would get a second chance, but I can't tell if it will last. So I prepared for this a long time ago. Alec, you remember how I always told you to stay off of the 5th floor? Well, today that's over with. I had that floor renovated into a makeshift headquarters for the Assassins. Jayr, you'll find that I managed to salvage most of the Assassin's gear after you all were betrayed. Everything you'll need is on that floor, it's all yours."
Darkman pressed a few buttons on the desktop without looking, bringing up a screen with a camera pointed at a building across the street: a cleaners with several floors of apartments above it. "If you're planning on recruiting, you can use that building for sort of an orientation period, to sort out the winners from the losers. The owners work for me, they'll be expecting you. Once the word gets spread, the Templars are bound to try and get people on the inside. Jayr you still have that special way of seeing, correct?"

| She said she was able to get into contact with someone named Zaqar, and that she was in Velo during the alien attack. Maybe she was one of the people that came back with his father and Dez. Jayr said they had history, probably way back to her's and his grandfather's time. However a grim expression appeared on his face when she said Zaqar was a Malkavian. Even more, she was the lover of the vampire that started the whole clan, meaning she was even more psycho than Maxi, Cala, and his sister Demi.
"Malkavians are supposed to be nuts, right?" asked Hi No. Jr just grumbled.
His grandfather walked in and said starting the Assassin Order again would be a good idea. He said since he'd touched that apple thing he saw this day coming, though he couldn't tell if the Order would grow big or even last long. He explained that the 5th floor was set up to be an Assassin HQ, and even remembered when his father and grand father both said to stay off of that floor. He'd always been curious about what was on that floor, and now he knew.
Darkman also said the building across from Darkman Tower, which had a small cleaning business on it's bottom floor, could be used to weed out the good from the bad. He next asked of Jayr still had "that special way of seeing," and could only wonder what he meant by it. Perhaps he'd find out sooner or later.
Jr stood from the chair. "I'm going to go and figure out a discreet way of getting the word out that the Assassins are looking for members," he said, with Hi No following him as he walked around the desk and towards the doors. "You're probably gonna be gone when I get back Grandpa, so dad i'll get back with you shortly..."
Hi No waved to everyone before vanishing back into Jr's sub conscious while he walked through the glass doors and out into the hall.

| Alec had the same grim expression on his face while he leaned on the side of the desk. They hadn't had the very best of histories with Malkavians. Zaqar was the girl that came back with them from Velo on the boat, the vampire in the bikini. Alec wasn't exactly privy to the idea of one of the oldest Malkavians being in the Tower, but it wasn't like he was the Boss here anymore, so it wasn't his call.
His father came in. After what he said, he started to think that this apple thing let one peek into the future, among other things. His father said that the 5th floor - somewhere Alec had always been forbidden to go - was the new Assassin's Headquarters, and had everything from when the Assassins were betrayed back in the day.
"That's why you told me to keep off that floor then, because you knew this day was coming... I understand now."
His father was always doing unexplained things. Alec wasn't really surprised anymore. Darkman said a building across the street could be used for hopefuls wanting to join up. Even Alec knew that some Templars would try sneaking in. He asked Jayr if she had a way of seeing, which confused Alec. Maybe she had a special sight, sort of like the several that Alec had? | |

| Jayr gave a nod of greeting to Darkman as he entered. She kept quiet as she listened to what he had to say. Jayr was never one to give up easily, so attempting to put the Assassin Order back together again was in her blood in a manner of speaking: she wasn't going to give up, no matter what it took to stop the Templar's.
She watched Junior leave, and the female disappear, wondering how he was going to go about finding people to join.
At Darkman's mention of having salvaged most of the Assassin's gear an eyebrow raised in curiosity. It was all on the fifth floor according to him, and that floor was hers. It would serve well for the main headquarters of the Assassin's. Darkman also mentioned a building nearby that would work while she was taking in new recruits: an extra step of caution that would give her a chance to weed out potential spies without giving them access to anything risky. It would work perfectly. ”Thank you, it's much appreciated... I don't intend to stop trying to fight these Templar's until I'm dead and gone.”
She then thought about his question and grinned a bit nodding. ”Aye, I still have that ability. In fact, it's a lot stronger now then what it was when we last spoke.” | |

| Yata wanted to be involved in something that would have him busy. There was no more school, no more family, and he figured any chances he had with some girl were little to none now. Now, he wanted to just bury himself in something that would always have him occupied.
He went back to the tower after out running school security. After he took the elevator up to the top floor, he walked into the office to see a really tall guy, and young looking dude with black hair, and a girl who looked like she'd time traveled from the middle ages.
The dude with the black hair looked kind of familiar though. "You dad Kane?..." he asked. "You look... different. Am I interrupting here? I'll leave if I am..." he started backing towards the doors again. | |

| Darkman nodded to Jr before he left. Only a few moments would pass before another individual came in, the kid he'd heard about with the skateboard. Darkman had been watching him. Misaki Yata... an interesting individual. Darkman could feel that he was troubled though, and a quick peek into his mind - as it appeared that he didn't have any blocks to prevent such - told him the story.
Yata was once a bully, but broke away from that lifestyle because of Jr. He had a troubled homelife, as often his parents seemed to forget he was alive, and his siblings messed with him. Today he had a confrontation with former friends and most of his family that ended with all of them on the ground. Yata was looking for a girlfriend, but he felt that all hopes of getting one were dashed now. So he currently wanted to get so involved in something that he wouldn't have time for anything else.
"This must be the new kid, Yata," Darkman would say, taking another drag from his cigarette. "Because he doesn't like his first name. I've been watching you myself kid, you're something else. Highly entertaining. You're doing a good job... Come with us, I think this is something you'd want to see too."
Darkman motioned for Alec and Jayr to follow him too while walking out of the office. One of the elevators would take them down to the 5th floor. When the doors opened, one would be able to smell something old, like a library or a museum full of artifacts. Darkman walked down a hall and into a large room shrouded in darkness. it had to be big since his shoes were echoing on the floor. He walked over and tripped a lever, turning on the lights, revealing a huge room that had what looked like an obstacle course in it. The course was vast, designed to challenge climbing and Freerunning skills.
To the left of the huge room were many other joined rooms with libraries of old books from ages ago, supplies, clothing, bedrooms, armories full of weapons, and staging areas. "I managed to salvage most of everything, Jayr. You'll find it all in those rooms there," he said, pointing. Darkman gave another glance to Yata with a grin. "...I think you've also found tour first recruit, if he's interested, that is. It'll keep him plenty busy... Interested in becoming Edge's first Assassin Recruit, Yata?" | |

| "Nah, you're not interrupting. I'm surprised you recognized me..."
It looked like his father was sizing Yata up, probably reading his mind to see what he was about. He complimented Yata and said he was doing a good job, then told them all to follow him. Alec went along, figuring he was about to show them what was on the 5th floor. He'd been waiting since childhood to see this.
"This big guy is my pops by the way, Yata. He was the first Boss of Edge before he passed it to me, and I eventually passed it to Jr; the guy who built this city and who this tower is named after. He knows a lot so don't be too surprised."
After the elevator ride, he stepped out behind his father onto the dark floor that smelled old. Even though it was dark Alec could see just fine, and was able to see the obstacle course even before the lights came on. This had to be some kind of training area then. He'd really seen the second coming of the Assassins...
There were other rooms too, containing everything from the old Assassin hideaway. Darkman mentioned Yata as a first recruit. It was a good idea, the kid could really hold his own as is. With Assassin training he'd truly become a force.
"Heh, kinda makes me want to join in myself..." | |

| Jayr glanced over as an individual came in shortly after Junior left; he had with him something that Jayr recognized as a skateboard. Before she could say anything Darkman spoke up, calling the kid by the name Yata – and saying something about him not liking his first name. He called him new, as well, which didn't escape Jayr's notice. Alec meanwhile said that he wasn't interrupting at all, and then explained that Darkman was his dad.
She followed Darkman to the elevator with everyone else, curious about this fifth floor and what Darkman had done to it. When they got to the fifth floor and the lights were turned on Jayr found herself staring at what was obviously and obstacle course – very elaborate, and very large. She couldn't help but grin a bit. Hehe.... so much safer then learning how to free-run by leaping off of cliffs and buildings...”
She nodded to Darkman as she looked in the direction of the other rooms: she would definitely have to check things out – and perhaps procure herself another outfit: hers was old, out-dated, and likely to draw more attention then it would hide. She needed something a bit more on the modern side so to speak...
Then her violet colored gaze focused on Yata as she heard what Darkman said, and a slight grin spread across her face. ”Oh yeah... you become an Assassin and you'll be plenty busy. It's not a walk in the park though... Those Templar's will target you just for being a part of the Order.” | |

| The big man said he'd been watching Yata, and knew that he hated his first name. He said Yata was highly entertaining and was doing a good job. Yata just looked confused; who was this big guy? How did he know so much? Yata had never seen him before. Dad Kane said he wasn't interrupting, and the big guy said to follow them.
In the elevator headed down, dad Kane said that the big guy was his dad, the first Boss, they guy who built the whole city and the guy this building was named after. His confusion turned into shock. So, this was Darkman? The guy was rumored to be an urban legend, a myth. yet Alec was saying this was him, in the flesh. Yata was speechless. He had no reason to doubt dad Kane, even with him saying that Darkman knew a lot and not to be too surprised.
The elevator stopped somewhere, and the doors opened on a dark floor. Yata could still see pretty well in the dark though, but when the lights came on he saw what had to be an obstacle course. Darkman called the girl in the robes Jayr, and said she'd probably found her first Assassin Recruit, and that it would keep him busy. The girl added by saying he would be, and that the Templars would target him for just being a part of this order.
Since Darkman said he was going to be her first recruit, Yata was left to assume that they were starting - or re-starting - a rival faction to the Templars: Assassins. Jayr said it would be safer to learn how to freerun in here than jumping off of cliffs and buildings, so he assumed that this floor had to be a training area.
The Templars would be after him? That was good. Yata didn't look afraid. He put his board down and kicked it over near one of the walls, a serious expression on his face. "I'm ready," he said. "I can get started right now, tell me what I have to do."

| Darkman chuckled somewhat. "No need, Son," he said to Alec in response to training here. "You don't know it, but you've been in training your whole life. Haven't you noticed? Your Hidden Blades, the evolved way of sight that you got from the little blind prodigy, Holeman. All events that I set in motion for you..."
Yata was looking serious, and said he was on board. Darkman felt nothing but good things for the kid. He'd be a valuable asset to both the Assassins and The Company. "That's the spirit. Jayr... you might want to show the kid your special way of seeing things. If he's going to help with the Templars, he'll need it. I'm certain once you show him the basics that he'll catch on and evolve it the rest of the way himself. Everyone has the potential to learn, but not everyone can. He's a prodigy child; I think he'll catch onto it quite quickly..."
Darkman was about to leave, but he turned to face Yata again. "Oh, and one more thing, Yata... If you're to do this, i'll ask that you stop exerting so much of those special powers of yours. Rely on yourself. You're more than capable of defending yourself without auras. Save all of the powers for the time when your life is dependent on them."
After another nod to Jayr and Alec he turned to leave. "Everything you'll need to know about being an Assassin is right here on this floor. Jayr, Alec, make sure Yata is sorted out with all the right equipment, yes? I'll be in touch..."
Darkman disappeared into the darkness of the hallway...

| His father said he'd already been training how to be an Assassin his whole life. It made sense: his Hidden Blades, his Enhanced Chakra Radar, his swords. He said it had all been put into motion by him... Alec got done being surprised by what his father did ages ago, and only grinned.
Yata was all for becoming an Assassin. That was cool. Darkman asked Yata to stop using his Aura powers and rely on himself. It was good advice. Jayr said the Templars would be after Yata for becoming an Assassin, and he responded by saying he was ready. Darkman asked Jayr to show Yata her "special way of seeing things." Maybe it was something like his advanced radar. Then his father left, presumably to go gather more intel on the Templars.
"Hmm. Sort you out, huh... I think you're gonna wanna look the part; let these assholes know we're back in business. Gonna have to get you a Hidden Blade too. There's probably some in here somewhere, but everything else you're gonna have to get on your own. Some knives and guns... this floor looks like the perfect place to learn about all of that. Lemme look around some."
Alec walked over towards the rooms on the left side. | |

| Yata suddenly got a serious look on his face and said that he was ready: if neither Darkman nor Alec doubted the kid then she wasn't about to start doing so herself. She was curious to see what he was capable of, and planned on putting him through his paces soon enough. To Darkman she nodded before he left: she would teach him what she knew about Eagle Vision – though he would have to start off small just like she had.
However, they needed to get him suited up properly – she agreed with Alec – she wanted people to know that the Assassin's were back. She wanted their blood to run cold at the idea of a hidden place slicing into their kidney and ending their lives for all of the pain and suffering they had caused.
”Darkman wants me to teach you Eagle Vision, Yata, and I agree that it'll come in handy. Eagle Vision is a dormant sixth sense that humans possess. Though each average human holds the potential to utilize it through an intense and very long training, some gifted individuals display a greater concentration of the necessary precursor genes, and thus are more likely to naturally exhibit Eagle Vision as well as some of its more advanced variations. Those who possess the gift are able to instinctively sense how people and objects relate to them, which manifests as a colored glow, much like an aura. Red indicates enemies or spilled blood, blue indicates allies, white indicates sources of information or hiding spots, and gold indicates targets or objects of interest. However, the sixth sense is not entirely infallible. So, while relying on it is all well and good you also have to rely on your gut too.“
”For the average person it takes years upon years of training, but I doubt that'll be the case with you from what Darkman said: if you focus hard enough you should be able to see the difference.” She then glanced over in the direction Alec went and wandered over, looking about curiously. | |

| Darkman told Jayr to show him another way of seeing. Knowing that he was a prodigy, he said that once he caught on, he'd be able to evolve it even further. This made him curious. Before Darkman left, he asked Yata not to use his Aura powers, and to rely on himself. He asked that he only use his aura powers when his life was on the line.
"Alright, I promise to only use them when I have to," he said.
He listened to Jayr explain her "way of seeing" which she called Eagle Vision. It was a different way of seeing things, a sixth sense. It would allow him to literally see the intentions and emotions of other people, if what she explained to him was correct. Different emotions would mean different colors. This would likely let Yata see who was real, who was fake, who was important, and who needed to die. It sounded like a valuable tool to have in the box.
While Alec went to look around for gear for him to use, Yata began to take the knowledge of what Jayr explained to him and enter a deep state of concentration, attempting to bring this sixth sense out. Jayr said this sometimes took people long years to bring out, but Yata wasn't prepared to wait that long. | |

| There were rooms full of old things. A slight layer of dust covered the books and equipment in the storage areas. Alec was left to wonder exactly when his father managed to move all of this stuff in here without him knowing. There were many sets of armor and robes. Many of them looked very old, from the middle ages, in the style that Jayr wore. there weren't anything wrong with them, and Alec honestly thought they looked pretty cool. But in these ages they would draw unneeded attention. In a joining room there seemed to be more modern clothes that wouldn't make the person who wore them stand out too much. Alec thought Darkman would anticipate this, and just grinned some. Alec found a working Hidden Blade in good condition. He took a white and red hooded jacket with an Assassin's Symbol on the back, a black hoodie, black loose fitting pants and black boots. The clothes looked about Yata's size, if not a little baggy on him, which Alec didn't think he'd mind. He returned to the obstacle room to hand all of the goods, folded neatly with the Hidden Blade on top to him. "Here... you might want to get your hands on a couple of guns and some knives too. Be sure to get a silencer...Here. Just to get you started i'm gonna put some more funds in your account. Don't worry about paying me back... just stick with this, alright? We all got your back, I mean that."- Hidden Blade:
Name:Hidden Blade Type: Knife + Bracer Rank:A Enhancements:Pivot Blade--allows the user to rotate the blade 90 degrees and wield it like a dagger. It could be held either in the hammer or icepick grip, therefore enabling the user to have the option to quickly stab, cut, and slash his enemies. Notably, the weapon can be dual-wielded alongside a sword, dagger, ect, increasing the weapon's lethality. Description:The iconic weapon of the Assassins, the Hidden Blade was used for both stealth assassinations and regular combat. It was their most versatile weapon, with multiple upgrades and forms of use. It consisted of a retractable blade, usually in conjunction with a protective bracer. As such, the blade could be discreetly extended or retracted, making it a valuable tool for assassinations.
Alec took out his Android Phone to transfer some of his own funds into Yata's account. He figured it would be more than enough so that he could get totally kitted out and be prepared for these Templars. It wasn't really like he needed the money; it would be better used by him. (80,000c transferred) "Oh, and Jayr, there's some gear in that middle room there, if you want to take a more modern look. You're robes you have on now are pretty cool, but you're gonna stand out hardcore if you plan to wander Edge." | |

| Figuring that Yata was likely attempting to unlock Eagle Vision she left him to it, not wanting to disturb him. Therefore she remained quiet and simply took the time to give the obstacle course a quick over look. She returned to being nearby Yata just as Alec returned with a new outfit for him and a hidden blade. At Alec's words she grinned and nodded a bit. ”Aye, I was thinking the same thing myself... While I want the Templar's to know we're back, there's no point in drawing un-needed attention from the rest of the masses.” No, that would only cause her more trouble and she knew it. The easier she blended in the easier she could do her job.
She headed into the room that Alec had indicated and looked around quickly. She found several things her size: a black pair of leggings, boots, a white long sleeved top with a red strip down the arms, and a black short sleeve hoodie with the Assassin symbol on the back and sleeves of both arms. With her outfit folded in her right hand and her boots in her left she headed into one of the un-used bedrooms and shut the door. A quick change later and she re-emerged and wandered back over adjusting her hoodie. ”Huh.. that's going to take some getting used to..”, she muttered to herself in regards to her difference in clothing.
She then glanced over to Yata, curiously. ”Any luck?”, she asked quietly. She didn't want to disturb him, but she was also curious at the same time. | |

| Yata, still concentrating, took the Hidden Blade and put it on his left arm, like Jayr had hers. He took the clothes and put them on then and there; the hoodie, the jacket, the pants, the boots. Dad Kane said to get his hands on some other weapons, like guns and knives. The thought of packing some heat was exciting to Yata.
Dad Kane said he was going to give him some more money to properly get set up. He said not to pay him back, and just stick with this Assassin thing. Yata planned to. It would now be his whole life, as he considered that he didn't have any family or things like girls to crush on anymore. Training himself to kill; it would be a 24/7 thing.
"Thank you, Dad Kane," he said.
It was then that he managed to bring something out. The scenery in his perspective changed. Everything was a shade of blue and black. When he looked at dad Kane and Jayr, both of them seemed to be glowing blue. This had to mean that the both of them were allies. Looking at the obstacle course, he could see many areas glowing a white color. This had to mean that these were areas of importance; areas that he could grab onto in order to climb. So this was Eagle Vision...
The strain hit him almost immediately since he'd just managed to awaken it, and he squinted his eyes while pinching his nose between his eyes. "I think so," he responded to Jayr. "It's gonna take some practice though. It's like... seeing sound and hearing shapes..."
Yata looked at the obstacle course. He was already pretty good at traversing the urban landscape, but now it would be time to master it.

| "No problem. Need anything else, just hit me on the android..."
As much as Alec wanted to stay here and look around more, he began to think that maybe it was a good idea that he head back home to Makkura. He hadn't been back except once after he got back from Pacific City, only to go running off again to do a survival adventure on the back of Sunset Isle. The woman and child had to be wondering where he was and when he was coming back, and he had to go fill in Avery of the crazy situations going on. He was also still wondering how she and Art were going to take him being rewound to look like a teenager again...
"Listen, i'd love to stay and check out this floor a little more since i've never been here, but I should really get going. The family has to be worried sick about me by now. Remember Yata, if there's anything else you need, ask Jr or call me. Same goes for you Jayr, I got your backs."
After a thumbs up, Alec exited Assassin HQ.

| Jayr nodded to Yata, grinning a bit. ”I said the same exact thing, too, when I first used it. It gets better the more practice you have and it gets easier too.” Her gaze then flickered over to Alec who said that he needed to be getting back because his family must be worried sick by now. She nodded to him and smiled. ”See you around, Alec. And ditto, you ever need anything just ask.”
She then focused her attention back onto Yata after Alec left, and then towards the obstacle course. ”Gonna give it a try? I gotta say, Darkman really went above and beyond on this thing from what I saw when I was looking at it. Challenging, but fun.” It had Jayr wanting to give it a try herself, if she were honest with her subconscious: it looked like loads of fun, and there was nothing she loved more these days then free running. | |

| With his break dancing, skateboarding, balance and acrobatic skills, Yata was already experienced in moving through the urban jungle in a swift and stylish fashion. This obstacle course would help him to sharpen his skills into that of a razor.
He walked around to the start of the course and took off running. He jumped and fliped over obstacles. He quickly pulled himself atop structures, jumping and moving fluidly from one to the next, never halting his momentum. He moved quickly across beams over drops, and scaled walls that had grips on them, using his newfound Eagle Vision to see the spaces where he should grab and use his feet.
There were areas where Yata had to hang and use only his hands to get from one area to the next. There were cushions below him, but he knew out in the world there would be no such luxury to catch him were he to fall. there were other areas where Yata had to hand over hand to reach the other area. He could feel his upper body strength beginning to rise, and planned on getting his hands on some weights to further this along.
Yata had to run up and down a few makeshift hills, and through a gauntlet of tires. He had to crawl underneath a horizontal field of razor wire. Yata had to crawl to the top of a tall structure, and finally zip line his way to the finish. he did this as quickly as possible, but felt he could do it much faster.
After running the obstacle course twice more, Yata began to sweat. Both times he'd completed it with seconds shaved off of his previous time by keeping the time through his watch. Both times he kept his Eagle Vision active in order to see hand and footholds.
The area beyond the Obstacle course was designed to train stealth and Assassination techniques. Yata was able to practice each: how to blend with a crowd and strike suddenly, how to Air Assassinate, how to Assassinate from a ledge, how to assassinate from a hiding spot. He'd begun to really get a feel of the Hidden Blade in the process, and felt as if he could hide from most anyone in plain sight.
