Welcome to Gaia! ::

James Derix looked up from reading the paper "I have a special missionn for you and Judgment to complete. But before I say what that mission is we'll wait for Judgement to get here till then please have a seat."

Viral took a glance at the clock that was positioned on one of the walls of Derix's office.
Time seemed to be passing slowly.
Her moment of distraction resulted in the blade cutting one of her fingers. She gasped, almost barely feeling it slide through her skin. It took a minute for the blood to find its way through the cut and turn red as it met oxygen. There was a green glow surrounding the cut for a moment, but it faded as quickly as it appeared.
Viral brought the cut to her mouth, hoping to suck the blood dry, her eyes pointed at the short sword. Her attempt failed, as the cut continued to bleed, so she laid her hand down on her lap and simply watched the blood seep out. Soon enough it would have to stop.

Viral caught the can with precision, reading its label.
"Thanks..' she said, twisting open the lid with her good hand and spooning out a small amount with her forefinger. She dabbed it over her cut, and miraculously felt the paste dry all too quickly. She closed the lid in response, hoping the contents of it weren't already drying.
She slid the blade back in the sheath the Tech Room droid had given her, and returned the can to Derix.
"How many Hive members are there?" she asked, walking back to her seat. She was curious of this, for so far she hadn't seen anyone. This Judgment character would be the first other member she would see.

Viral's posture stiffened.
A bust? From the Cube?
This would be far more challenging than her previous task at the Gotham Museum. And, if she heard correctly, 4 out of 6 total members were imprisoned. If she and Judgement would fail.. that would mean the entire Hive would be behind bars.
Plus, didn't the Cube have a special system that prevented the use of powers? She only hoped the rumor wasn't true.

"But sir, the Cube is a prison for people with superpowers.. won't that mean we also can't use our pow--" she stopped mid-sentence, her hand meeting the weapon that now hung on her hip. She grinned.
"I'm guessing you don't mind the casualties, sir" she added rhetorically.

Images of fighting off prison guards began to flood her mind, and she grew more and more excited for the task. Back-up would be necessary for this, however, and Viral only hoped that Judgment would arrive soon. She wanted to devise some form of plan before carrying out the task.

Viral wondered if him stating his achievements was supposed to make the task before her seem easier or more difficult.
Her partner seemed to be coming late; much later than she was comfortable waiting for.
Viral rose from her seat, her arms rested by her sides.
"May I request stopping by the Tech room again.. before I go. I've never been to this specific prison before, I want to pick up a map device, radar, anything that would help me get around when I need to."

She planned to study the prison's blueprints before entering-- probably during nightfall-- as she had back at the Gotham Museum. Prisons, she knew, were far more complicated than public galleries, so the technology would prove useful this time around.

"Ah good Judement you have arrived." James Derix said before continuing "You will go with Viral here on a high level mission, which is to bust out four members of the Hive that is being held at the Cube. And yes Viral you ma go to the tech room to help you and Judgement prepare."

There was a soft knock on the door.
