Some point mid afternoon, a silence falls over the Mansion that's nearly as bad as it is outide. In a corner of the house, a blinding light speeds across the wing. A boy appears in just a white shirt and pants. The light then spreads, like a bright lensflare shuddering itself through the property ( Read more... )

It was no secret that Erik had a certain amount of distaste for mercenaries: people with no loyalty to anyone. Or, if anything, loyalty that was cheaply bought and sold ( Read more... )

Ever since Shaw went missing and she had lost her job, she had kept hidden, letting that shell of a girl pretend that she could survive on her own. Now, comfortably in a new home and safe from most ( Read more... )
