Heather's ship flew over the old Braytech building and transmatted the two of them onto the frozen surface. Heather walked casually into the building and towards a massive glass wall, where a woman with black hair and white markings on her face stood. Shin followed close behind, hand hanging loosely near his Last Word, ready to draw at any moment. Heather exchanged a quick hug with the woman, with whom she was familiar with. The woman turned to Shin and introduced herself.
"Hey, I'm Ana Bray. I stand for Rasputin, no matter how much Zavala hates him."
Heather's expression turned grim and she told Ana the bad news.
"Um… Ana? I'm sorry that you have to hear this from me, but… Zavala is dead. So is Ikora. In fact, a whole lot of Guardians are dead. For good."
Ana smiled briefly, obviously taking it as a joke, but when she saw Heather's and Shin's expressions, she understood. She seemed to be unsteady for a second, stumbling a little bit, but then she regained her composure.
"H-how? Who?"
Heather told her that Evan was to blame, and Ana seemed to break when she heard that.
"That's not true. It can't be."
Heather stayed silent. So did Shin. Ana spent an unknown amount of time processing this. But Heather didn't have the patience for that.
"Alright, get up. We don't have time to be moping around."
Ana stood up abruptly, fear in her eyes.
"Are you going to kill him?"
Heather didn't answer. But Shin did.
"I will. He's too dangerous to be kept alive."
Shin tried to be confident when he spoke. Thing is, he really didn't think he could take Evan on. At least not in a one versus one. He just hoped that he could stop this.
