A new person had been hired to watch the lobby, an elderly man with a sweet disposition named Mr John. He smiled at Liberty as she walked in. "Sorry, ma'am, the elevator hasn't been working. Please take the stairs."/span/p

She pulled out her phone to check her email. She heard a couple doors swing open and footsteps of people going up and down the stairs. She moved to the side of the stairs to give them room to pass./span/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-variant: normal; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 138%; text-decoration: none;"span style="background: transparent;"She reached the top of the first set of stairs, looking down at her phone. She saw a man walking down that she had never seen before. Liberty didn't think much of it, people moved in and out of the building.

Revenge had only ever fought with a mask before. He had dark hair, starting to grey, and light blue eyes. /spanspan style="font-variant: normal;"Wait, does he know Roy is Arsenal? He must if he's attacking me, right?/spanspan style="font-variant: normal;" "/spanspan style="font-variant: normal;"I don't know what you're talking about," she lied./span/p

Liberty started to run past Revenge, up the stairs, hoping to lose him in the upper levels. She didn't expect Revenge to recover fast enough that, halfway up the first set of stairs, he grabbed her waist from behind and started to drag her back down./span/p

Liberty tried to punch him again, but Revenge caught her fist and spun her around to pin her back against his chest.

"What was that?" she asked drowsily before dropping to the ground./span/p
