Mari P.O.V

I was still trying to catch my breath from the mans punch when I heard a gunshot and out of the corner of my eye I saw Leo fall to the ground. Someone walked up to his fallen form and shot him point blank with a shotgun. Blood splattered against my face and my dress. My eyes widened at my now dead friend. It what little time I had known him he had proved to be one of best men I had ever met. He was kind, considerate, and now he was dead, all because I had brought him to this stupid party. Rage washed over my body as I tried to stand up.

"Don't even think about it. Unless you want more blood to be spilled." The large man said as he grabed a woman and began to crush her neck. I begrudgingly got back on the ground. "Good. Now if you all do as I say none of you will join your heroic friend here on the ground." He said as some of the other men took Leo's body away to dispose of it.

"Who are you!" My photographer yelled. The large man turned and looked at him he began to slowly approach him, The man slowly took off his coat showing off his massive muscles, underneath his coat her wore a black shirt mixed with kevlar and had high tech bracers on his wrists. He connect two tubes filled with a green fluid inside to the bracers. He then pulled out a black and white mask and put it on. He turned two dials on the bracers causing the fluid to pump into his arms. His already massive muscles began to bulg and grow in size. He finally arrived at the photographer and grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt and spoke in a deep voice.

"I am Bane and you are nothing compared to me." Bane dropped the photographer to the ground and proceeded to walk away.

"What do you want?" Someone said.

"Nothing from you, well not anymore, right now you are just insurance." He said.

"Boss we got the vault open." One of the grunts said.

"Get moving were on a time table." Bane said. During their conversation I started to slowly and stealthily make my way over to a fire alarm, If I could set that off alarm that would at least alert authorities to something. But before I could get to it gunfire erupted from outside of the room scaring everyone and causing many to scream in terror.

"QUITE!!!" Bane yelled. "Time table is gone grab what we came for and get to the trucks."

Leo P.O.V

The second I stepped out of the bathroom I was meet with another hail of bullets again the bullets bounced harmless of my armour. I pulled out the scout rifle Frostmire's Hex and shot the person firing on me. Normally I would stick with my shotgun but with the very really possiblity that innocent people could be caught in the crossfire I wanted to limit the chace of someone being hit. I rounded a corner and quickly gunned down two more gunmen one did get off a warning to his boss via a radio before i shot him. Then I got to the ballroom and I saw Bane, all of his men proceeded to point their guns at me.

"Hold your fire this one is mine." Bane said.

"Surrender and I won't break your spine." I said. All my threat eliceted was a hearty laugh from the man.

"You truly have no idea who you are dealing with do you."

"Antonio Diego A.K.A Bane son of Edmund Dorrance and Jessica Deigo, your father was a british national who attempted to lead a rebellion against the goverment of Santa Prisca. It failed and he escaped but you forced to serve out his life sentene as soon as you were born. When you were an adult you were experimented on with a super strength serum thats how you got your "powers". I said.

"How the hell do you know all that!?" Bane said in shock.

"I have my ways." I said but in truth Morgan had been feeding me the information.

"It doesn't matter I will still break you!" Bane yelled as he went to punch me. His fist rocketed towards my chest with all the force he could muster and it... bounced harmless of my chest if anything he was in more pain than I was. He relied back in shock. "What are you made of!" Bane yelled.

"Im a Titan. Simple as that." I told him.

"What does that even mean?" He asked.

"This." I said as I grabbed him by his shirt and I headbutted him, Knocking Bane unconscious and breaking his nose. "Alright whose next." I asked all of the grunts. Most dropped their guns immediately. One however decided to be a "hero" and grabbed Mari and put a gun to her temple. I immediately raised my gun and aimed it at his head. "Let her go." I growled at him.

"Put your gun down or I will blow her brains out." He said. "The rest of you get moving we still have a job to do." As soon as he said that the other grunts filled out of the room and went to do whatever their "job" was. As soon as the last grunt left the room Mari slammed her foot onto his causing him to scream in pain, She then elbowed him in the chest and threw him over her shoulder. Before he could get up I slamed my gun into his head.

"Impressive." I said. She looked at me and look of rage was on her face.

"Stop gawking and let's get after them." She yelled before running out of the room.

"Hey wait!" I yelled as I ran after her. I quickly caught up to and grabbed her arm.

"Let me go!" She yelled as she tried to get out of my grip.

"Only if you stop." I said.

"No!" She said.

"I will get your necklace back." I said

"It's not just that!" She yelled.

"What?"

"They murdered my friend. He tried to protect me and they killed him. He wouldn't have even been here if wasn't for me." She said. I frowned beneath my helmet. I didn't even think of that.

"Morgan my helmet." I said.

"Are you sure." Morgan asked.

"Yes." I said. My helmet quickly disappeared.

"What are you tal-... how?" Mari said in shock.

"Im a Guardian we can resurrect. I promise you I will explain everything once I get back. Please just believe me, I have absolutely no reason to lie to you." I said.

"I don't know what to say." She said.

"You don't need to, just trust me." I said. She remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Fine I trust you." Mari said.

"Thank you. Now I need you to call the cops or whoever is responsible for containing people like Bane." I said as I started to head down the hallway. The only way the grunts could escape now was through the loading dock so that is were I was heading. As soon as I got to the loading dock I was meet suprising sight. The entire loading dock was ripped apart and every grunt was dead some worse than others. The loading dock was a large area mostly underground with a single exit leading to the streets above. I pulled out gunnora's axe and started walking towards a black van that most of the grunts were around. I looked into the back of the van, Mari's necklace laying on the ground, I gently picked it up and pocked it. I took a good look at the van in question several boxes were open and thrown around and there contents discarded. One box in particular seemed to have heen holding some sort of sword.

"LEO INCOMING!" Morgan yelled. I quickly rolled to the side as a flaming bullet passed over head hitting the car making it explode. I raised my barricade just in time for another flaming bullet to hit it. Then I saw a figure move behind a wall but whoever it was was clearly on fire. Golden gun I thought.

"JAYDEN WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!" I yelled at him. I turned just in time to see a rocket heading towards my position. I jumped out of the way avoiding the explosion. I got back up and in a single moment my body lit on fire and I pulled out a massive burning warhammer. "COME OUT JAYDEN YOU WANTED THIS FIGHT!" I yelled. "I KNEW WE SHOULD HAVE PUT YOU DOWN YEARS AGO!" I started moving throughout the loading dock looking for Jayden. The silence was broken by a hail of gunfire hitting me doing relatively little damage. I swung my hammer towards the gunfire destroying a support beam. A second burst of gunfire and another swing taking out another beam. A third and a fourth followed. I heard a craking noise above me and I looked up and saw the ceiling beginning to collapse. I threw up my ward of dawn just before the ceiling came down on me. Around a minute passed before I punched some of the ruble away freeing myself. "Morgan were is that bastard." I asked.

"I'm not picking up Kreig anywhere, he's gone." Morgan said.

"Send message to Avery. Jayden has finally snapped." I said.

"Alright I will, But you need to go talk to Mari." Morgan said. I silently made my way towards the door to the hotel. Less than a minute later I was back at the ball room. I turned the corner and saw Mari waiting for me besides her the room was empty.

"There you are I wasn't expecting you to be back so fast." I removed my helmet as I approached her. I gently pulled out her necklace and gave it to her.

"You got it back." She said.

"They never not out of the building." I said deciding to leave out the part about Jayden no need to worry her. "Where is everyone?" I asked.

"Apparently one of the Hotel staff managed to call the authorities at the start if the incident. The cops got here a few minutes ago arrested bane and his surving goon. Escorted everyone out, but I couldn't leave without knowing you were alright, or that explanation." she said.

"Your right, I do owe you an explination, but just not here, too many people could here." I said. Avery had instructed us to keep some form of secrecy inorder to not cause a panic.

"Alright can you meet me at my place in a few hours." She said.

"Sure, but uh were is it?" I asked.

"Alright just let me right it down for you." She said as grabbed a peice of paper and a pen and wrote her address down. After a few seconds she handed it to me. Before she left she walked right up to me and swiftly kissed me on the cheek. "If your story checks out ther will be far more of that were that came from." She said with a sultry town.

"And if it dosen't?" I asked as more of a joke than anything else. She looked me dead in the eyes and spoke in a dark tone.

"I will make you regret every being born, and for both our sakes lets hope your story cheeks out." She said as she walked away.
