"There's a new player we've been tracking." Fury started as the images flickered from one to the next. "Vigilante. She's left dozens of bodies around the city; most of them are drug dealers, gangbangers...the misogynistic criminals would be luckier if she kills them. We've been calling her "Knightress"."

The purple-hooded vigilante drove through the large door into the sub-level of a Bishop Publishing warehouse. She got off of her purple motorcycle and picked up her bow, crossing the room and placing it and her quiver in the glass display case. There was a girl at the computers. She was of Hispanic descent, with creamy brown skin, dark hair and dark eyes. She glanced up as the purple-clad girl pulled her hood down and shook her jet-black hair free. She pulled off her sunglasses, exposing the true-blue eyes belonging to Kate Bishop.

The boy laughed, brushed his long black hair behind his ear and walked towards the dark-haired girl in a T-shirt.

"Hi," he greeted.

Laura turned around from watching a hay-ride.

"Hello." She returned politely, but coldly, and turned back to watching the hay-ride.

He paused. This wasn't the reaction he'd been expecting. "Laura, right?"

Laura turned and stared at him intently, as if trying to scan his brain for anomalies.

"I'm Jullian. Jullian Keller." He greeted. His green eyes twinkled as he extended a hand.

Laura stared at his hand, trying to decide whether to remove it or not, then shook it.

"Nice to meet you."

"So do you have a date to this fun-fest or could you give this charming young man the honor of escorting you around?"

"You know, I think there was something off tonight." Kitty said as she and Rogue crossed the street to Rogue's car.

Rogue raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yeah," Kitty replied. "That assassin…"

Rogue stumbled a little, caught off-guard. "What about 'er?"

"I don't know. For some reason, she seemed familiar." Kitty replied, distantly.

Rogue paused. She had to be very careful here. "Like…an old enemy?"

"No, not like that…" Kitty replied. She thought for a minute as she and Rogue climbed into the car. "Ah well, it's not important."

Rogue nodded and cranked the car. Kitty sighed and leaned her seat back. "Well, I'll text Fury from the Dark Room tonight and tell him he can rest assured Kate Bishop is not the Knightress."

Rogue nodded. She wanted to talk more with Kitty, but her words were stuck in her throat. She was terrified if she opened her mouth again, secrets would spew forth.

"Kate Bishop was originally going to play sick tonight and have the Knightress come in and confront Ian Quinn." Kate said. "But if Kate is at the ball when the vigilante is there…"

"Do you know how annoying it is when you refer to yourself in the third person?" America asked.

Kate smirked.
