They looked down at the perpetrators harassing a group of teenagers. Light stood next to Lyft from the rooftop, watching and squinting menacingly. Their confederate designed capes floated against the wind. The lampost revealed their KKK styled robes underneath the nighttime moonlight. A camera drone hovered above them.

"White Knight," Light said in a low raspy tone. "My White senses are tingling."

Lyft tipped her clan cone hat towards him with a nod. "I too, see the perpetrators through my White sight." Lyft made exaggerated and dramatic gestures with her swastika stitched gloves. Light gave a salute , exposing the tan colored wrists beneath his KKK inspired attire.

Light yelled, "Let us bring to them, white justice!"

Lyft and Light fist bumped, and jumped down the rooftop with their powers. Light's body shifted into a white neon energy, and he transformed into a light to appear right between the E88 members and high schoolers.

Lyft floated on a trash lid next to him. "White fiends!" Lyft yelled, "So long as the white trice are here, by night, the white trice will bring the might of the alt right!"

Light's palms glowed in energy, "run! Lest you taste the might of white!"

The three teenagers blinked at Light. They were ABB members, and they were outmatched by their six E88 opponents who had ambushed them. But with the Loser members there, they knew that they could inflict shame onto the E88 far better than any of their own gang members could. The leader of the ABB trio nodded, and ran off to leave the E88 to the Loser's whim.

Light turned around and flashed a light to the gang member's eyes, "white flare!"

Their eyes blurred, they dropped to their knees as blindness overtook them. Lyft took out a caulking gun, "face the wrath of my white slime!"

Light yelled, "not to be confused with her other slime!"

The E88 members couldn't see as Lyft's gun shot white glitter sparkling foam onto them all. The foam oozed over their bodies, and they soon became encompassed in sticky substance sticking them in place. The slime was vaguely similar to PRT foam, except it glowed in the dark and had swatsikas patterned across it as it encompassed them.

Lyft raised an arm up, "the fiends have fallen! Long live the power of white!"

"White power!" Light cheered in glee.

Light smiled at Lyft. She'd changed. Whereas Vivan and Aryana had chosen to attack the E88 more for the irony and because they knew it would reel in more viewers, Lyft acted like she was her personal mission. Like she was under obligation to humiliate the E88 further after what they'd done to her.

She never said it to anyone else, but she'd told Vivan that she really wanted to make them pay. That as a former member, she felt she could deal a harder hit to their reputation than anyone else on their team could.

That's why he and her did these 'special' missions. It was always a concept idea Vivan had had. With Uber and Leet out of commission, they decided to create a "White Knight Adventures" web series to fill in the gap of their absence.

"It appears, another night has been freed, by our white light!" Lyft said to the camera drone.

"Indeed, Lyft. May we fight more, for the plight against white." Light placed a hand on her shoulder. He finally nodded at the camera drone, signalling it to finish recording.

"I gotta say," Light spoke casually, "the costume makes me feel more powerful than I actually am."

Lyft commented, "white people feel the same way."

Before they could walk away from the thugs to leave them to the police, a figure entered from the alleyway.

"Hey, Sabrina."

Lyft turned her head, she gulped at the sight of him. "Hey... Theo..."

Golem stepped towards them. He watched the 'white foam' cover the E88 member's bodies. "Can they hear me?"

"No," Lyft answered. "The camera drone's off too."

Golem nodded to her. They averted eye contact from each other. "Wait," Light asked, "do you both... Know each other?"

Lyft scrunched her lips. Golem said, "yeah, a year ago we used to hang out for awhile."

"Hang out," Light let the words hang.

"I asked him out once," Lyft said bluntly.

"I'm pretty sure it was because my dad is Kaiser," Golem said with a sigh.

"Yeah," Lyft said guiltily, "that might've played... A big factor."

"But you asked him out?" Light glanced up for a moment, "as in, asked him out, but never dated?"

"Yeaaah," Golem said stretching the words, "she asked me out once, but then I told her, um... That I'm not racist."

Light blinked at Golem. "What?"

Lyft rubbed the templates of her forehead, "I'll spell it out for you. I lost interest in him, because I thought he was against nazis."

Light blinked at her. "Oh..."

Lyft murmured, "not one of my best moments..."

Light then turned to Golem and pointed, "wait, did you stop talking to her because she's racist?"

Golem blinked at him, "what?"

"Wow," Light crossed his robe covered arms, "rejecting a girl for their political beliefs. That is so intolerant."

"Jesus Christ Vivan," Lyft yelled.

Light continued, "so disrespectful, I'm offended on behalf of racists everywhere."

Golem said, "you're literally wearing a kkk costume."

Light raised his hands up in pride, "white people represent!"

Lyft yelled, "stop defending me!"

Golem covered his face, "let's just drop this. Listen, I'm here for a reason. You both know Purity is my stepmom, and she wanted me to give you guys a message."

"She could've talked to me in person," Light said, "I'm as harmless as a chocolate marshmallow once you get to know me."

"Its true," Lyft said casually.

"She can't be seen talking to you," Golem replied. "You know better than anyone how much reputation matters to the E88. If they know she negotiated a truce with you, she'd get dethroned."

Light rolled her eyes, "we already said no."

"Rush said no," Golem responded, "we all know Rush will listen to you if you say so."

Light's eyes squinted, "how do you know that?"

"Because its true. Rush might be leader now, but you're her brother. What you say matters most, and if anyone can make her follow a truce, its only if you say so."

Light and Lyft glanced at each other. Lyft shook her head awkwardly, acknowledging the statement. Light said, "we've already talked about this. Fact of the matter is, a truce couldn't work with the E88. If the E88 stopped doing what nazis due, Purity would just get usurped by some other fanatical. And right now, at least Purity tries to be good."

"Purity made a truce with Coil," Golem said. "Merchants aren't an issue since they only sell drugs and don't have turf beyond their warehouses. The only issue is the ABB, and their gang is only as strong as Lung."

"They have a tinker now," Lyft mentioned.

"Exactly," Golem said. "You guys do this truce, the E88 takes their attention off of hate crimes and you guys, and focus solely on the ABB. Purity doesn't want to risk ABB growth anymore. If Bakuda could take out Leet, she's a bigger threat to her gang, especially since your team has lost two members."

"Why do people keep talking like that!" Light flung his arms in the air, "we literally live in a world where gay super heroes can bend lasers! Do people really think we can't unfreeze Uber and Leet? We've done crazier, it'll just take awhile because we procrastinate shit!"

Golem sighed. He had heard Light and Rush reassuring their fans that their teammates would be saved, but not many people believed it. Golem said, "listen Light, I know you care more than you pretend to. If a truce could save a single person from an assault, wouldn't you do that? Don't you think that's worth it?"

Light stayed quiet for a moment. He was trying to pretend not to care, to emulate his sister a littler. He replied, "Sabrina, you decide."

Lyft cocked her head back, "what?"

"You know E88 better than I do, you wanted us to do more against them. They hurt you more. What would you do?"

"I'm... not really a member."

"Doesn't matter. Aryana said that if I said so, she'd make a truce with them if I asked. I never said anything because I'm always freaked out another Boston Games will happen here. But Uber and Leet are... Out of commission. A break from the fourth Reich doesn't sound so bad. So you make the decision, truce or no truce?"

Lyft stared for awhile. She raised up her hand to feel at her own scars. No more making them pay, she thought to herself. Then she remembered that those scars were minuscule compared to what the E88 did to countless others. She'd rather prevent someone's trauma than let the crimes continue for her own personal vendetta. "Yeah," she said confidently, "I think a truce is worth it."

Light pointed to her, "there you go."

"On one extra condition," Lyft said, "no more teenagers. Ever. Because its fucked up how your family treats kids like cannon fodder and zombies, making them believe that being a nazi is the best thing a poor white kid could ever amount to."

Your family, those words hit Theo hard. Despite Theo doing his best to distance himself from his family, he knew that so long as the E88 survived, he would still be associated to them. "Alright," Theo said, "I'll let Purity know."

At the corner of the alleyway, a tiny insect relayed the sounds of the alleyway to the insects flying high above. Those transmissions moved across hundreds of other bugs, before reaching its way to Taylor Hebert. She laid back in bad with a shocked silence, "Theo... Kaiser, is your dad?"

XXX

Lisa, Coil, Trickster, and Purity sat at the table. "The Losers have finally agreed to a truce," Purity announced.

"It won't go the way you think," Lisa said casually, "the E88 will be less united now. Their hate towards the Losers helped keep them behind you, without that or without anymore hate crimes, they're now a lot more likely to turn against you."

"I'm confused," Purity growled, "are you condoning hate crimes, or not?"

"Of course not," Lisa said waving her hand, "I'm just saying, you're the one getting the shortest end slick of that deal." Lisa smirked. She liked flaunting her intelligence whenever the chance arose. Her throwing out plausible predictions, even if they weren't always true, gave her the high of coming off as smart in case any of those predictions did turn out to be true.

Trickster let out a sigh, not even willing to comment on the bickering between the two girls.

Coil asked, "Tattletale, were you able to negotiate with Rush?"

Lisa nodded, "they had already agreed to the heist before losing Uber and Leet, and Rush plans on keeping her word on that."

"Good, will Uber and Leet's absence hinder their team?"

"Yes and no. On one hand, they had plenty of contingency plans for if Leet had ever died beforehand, but its still a new dynamic that takes some time getting used to."

Trickster asked, "so they're not really crippled? I'd think that losing their original members would at least be a blow their morale."

Lisa smirked, "love bursting your bubble, but loss isn't new to the Losers. If anything, they're more prepared for failure than anyone else in the city. "

Trickster rolled his eyes. Lisa's smug attitude was a constant thorn in everyone's side.

Coil asked, "are they serious about trying to bring back Uber and Leet? If I could offer them a fix, would they fall into my command?"

Lisa froze. Coil wanted to manipulate the Losers the same way he was doing with the Travelers. A carrot and stick tactic, dangling a false hope just to keep them running in the direction he wanted. "Not quite," Lisa said, stretching the truth. "They'll... take any chance they can get at saving them, yes. But keep in mind, if they think you're exploiting them they'll write you away like they would any other villain. Rush knows how manipulation works, she'd worked under Accord for years."

Trickster cocked his head back, "wait, she's worked under Accord?"

Lisa nodded, "she was a known as the 'White Rabbit' before."

Trickster jolted from his chair. Coil asked, "is there a problem?"

"White Rabbit..." Trickster adjusted back onto his chair. He put on a feeble smile, "you're telling me, that psychotic bitch that always stood next to Accord like a corpse doll, is Rush?" Trickster began laughing, "Jesus Christ, this world is so fucked."

The others raised an eyebrow at him, but continued on. Coil said, "well, I won't make them any promises I can't guarantee. Trickster, you said you wanted to suggest a something?"

Trickster mumbles, "I was going to, but not anymore. No way would my team follow through it."

"What was it?"

Trickster sighed, "I was going to say we should live in that complex with them. Take advantage of their tinker defenses, work alongside them as mercenaries. They could pay us for living with them in exchange for protection. But if Rush really is the White Rabbit... Well, Cody wouldn't like that."

Lisa laughed, "wow, that would've been fucking spectacular."

With Lisa's laugh, a lightbulb flickered over Purity's head. "Wait, why don't the Undersiders move in with them?"

Lisa's froze, "what?"

Purity continued, "Tattletale said she can figure them out the more she works alongside them, so why not live with them? We want access to all of Leet's inventions, Tattletale could easily collect intel if she lives them. And didn't you say before that the Undersiders needed a better base, what better option is there than a Tinker modified fortress?"

Lisa yelled, "you're just saying this to fuck with me!"

Purity raised her hands in defense, "believe me, I'm not. At the end of the day, I hate the Losers more than I hate you. If you can figure out their weaknesses, that works to my benefit."

Lisa gritted her teeth. Coil said, "she has some good points, is there any real reason to object to that? Besides that you just don't like them?"

Lisa blinked at him. Don't lie to him. "No..." she said feebly.

"Ask your team," Coil said, "see if they'll agree to it, and then negotiate with the Losers if they agree."

Lisa slouched in her seat. 'Requests' like that were more like demands than suggestions. She had to convince the Undersiders to go through with this, or else there would be serious long term consequences from Coil.

"Okay," Lisa said quietly.

Trickster held in his laughter, "wow, that's going to be a fucking riot."

"Fuck you," she replied. With another murmur she said, "It'll still take awhile... For them to trust me that is."

"I'm confident you'll gain access," Coil assured her.

"You know," Purity tapped her chin, "you are their age. For Light, it should be easy for you to..." She dragged off her own words.

Lisa raised an eyebrow, "to do what?"

"You know," Purity bobbled her head, "browner people, generally... Find attraction in..." She let those words hang.

Lisa triggered her powers;

Suggesting she seduce Light

Trickster bursted out laughing. "That subtle prejudice kills me inside!"

Lisa yelled, "for fuck's sake Purity, he isn't easy just because I'm blonde!"
