"Now, who set you free!?" The thief wouldn't make eye contact. He disappeared into the wall, re-appeared behind Robin, and kicked him into the wall.

Robin got right back up, and aimed his staff. The thief put his hand out, and it began to glow a dark purplish black.

Just before the battle got ugly, Kanyae jumped down from her perch and landed inbetween them in between them. She had both of her Kamas drawn, one pointed at Kyd, the other at Robin.

"Stop."

"Kanyae... How did you-"

"It's my fault he's free. He's MY responsibility." Kanyae glared at Robin. "Which means..." Ice formed down both her arms. "Kindly get lost." Robin put his hands up.

"Alright Kanyae." He retracted his staff, put it away, and left the alley. Leaving just Kanyae and the thief.

"Alright, who are you, and why did you put your past into my head?" The thief looked confused. And was quiet. very quiet.

I... Don't know what you're talking about. The fact that he could talk in her mind still creeped her out. Could he see anything else, other than her thoughts?

"Don't play dumb.. I know you did it!" He cocked his head.

Umm... Well my Name id Kyd Wykkyd... But... She knocked him against the wall and Ice shards erupted from the ground and floated just inches from Wykkyd's face.

Hey hey, Look. I'm just trying to survive here.

"Why would you come back to California? How could you, even?! I mean, you were in Paris... Then you decided to come back to the very place heroes are? The very city!? And what kind of idiot knows this and steals anyway?!" Kanyae raised her voice with each word.

I needed to get attention. Wykkyd had that knowing look again.

"You're here for me."

No.

"You came for me, didn't you?!"

No...

"You came to find out more about me!"

No no NO!

"You came to find out why I unfroze you!"

YES! Kanyae backed away, in slight shock. "Well I don't know how, Okay? Now tell me how you got here so quickly." He sighed.

I can open rift portals into other dimensions. Sometimes, I can use that to teleport to further places than a few miles or so. Kanyae Sighed.

"Well, You know why I unfroze you... It was an accident. Or maybe it wasn't, I don't know! All I know is, I felt sorry for you after seeing your past!"

What are you talking about?! You don't know ANYTHING about me!

"Oh what a load. I know that you had issues as a child, because your mom had an affair with an apparent demon. Later, you had a power issue, and wanted more of it that is. So you gave your voice away to a witch to get more power."

THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED! Kanyae jumped at his... mind outburst. ... I had an accident okay? I didn't want more power... I wanted control of what I had. He turned his back towards her. I killed seven innocent people, trying to save them. Cold blood. Everyone thought I did it on purpose and... He was quiet.

"I knew there was something different about you." Kanyae walked closer to him. "You're confused, Wykkyd. You think that being bad is the only thing you're good at. So you joined the Hive 5, and soon after, the Brotherhood of Evil." He turned around, this time, with feeling in his eyes.

Y...Yes. How do you understand this so well?! Kanyae shrugged, and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Because, I saw a glimpse of what you kept inside all these years." He sighed, and smiled at her. He backed away and handed her the bag filled with cash.

Follow me, I want to show you something.
