"OK, so it looks like we're together for a little while. Do you have a name?"

  It nodded, and said "You may call me Kimeran.  I have been companion to many Champions of Light."

"Kimeran...pleasure to meet you. I have more questions, but let's get back to my dojo. Probably wouldn't be a good idea to converse her out in the open..."

  Kimeran laughed, and wrapped around his throat, then flattened, seeming to become a tattoo!!

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhkay..." Lucas said, knowing that he probably shouldn't have been shocked to see such a display.

Looking around for a moment, he made his way back to the dojo.

Dragon Fist landed, his winged entrance looking impressive as ever. But he wasn't here to impress. No, someone had used some of his innermost connections to get to him: manipulating his sensei and mentor with the Blood drug, and now using Above And Beyond in some sort of sick scheme. He was going to put an end to it.

Soaring to a rooftop on a building across the street, he looked like a perched draconic gargoyle as he waited for the other members of the Legacy to arrive.

Don soon arrived, parked a quarter of a block away from Above And Beyond. He looked to see Lucas perched on the rooftop above, then waved him to come down.

Katy soon arrived with Nokomis in tow. She stepped out of the car, an intense expression on her face. She had not been to Above and Beyond since Friday "passed," so to have an enemy taunt them at this place was beyond low.

She stood on the sidewalk, waiting for Dragon Fist to come down and advise them of what was happening.

Dragon Fist nodded at those assembled, swooping down from the rooftop.

He looked around expectantly for Mirage.

"The person who's been taunting has made Above And Beyond their focal point for their revenge gambit. Once Mirage arrives, then we evict whoever this is."

"Damnit, whoever is behind is going to have to answer to my little girl," Don said. "Neither of my girls were none too happy that I had to leave them to deal with old business."

Suddenly, the front door of the office opened by itself, beckoning the remaining members of the Legacy to enter. Though what it was they were being invited into was not known, at least at this moment.

Dragon Fist sighed as he prepared to enter the building.

"One of my students is getting married today. Whoever this person is, they're messing with my personal life, and have done so already. That ends today."

Don nodded, his expression somber, an expression not seen on his face for some time. This person had called all of the Legacy out, using personal things to draw them into this web.

"C'mon Mirage....where are you?" he asked, looking expectantly.

Lady Psyche closed her eyes and concentrated, attempting to feel the presence of the mind of the person within the office.

"I don't like this. Whoever this is...they seem to have a shield of some sort against any telepathic contact."

"I thought that you had quit the business, Hunter?" Mirage said, stepping out of the shadows.  Nokomis' presence earned the woman a curious look.  "And the Legacy has a new face as well."

She turned to Dragon Fist.  "You mentioned something about figuring out what that message was all about.  Care to share, darling?"

Dragon Fist nodded to Mirage as the femme fatale arrived.

"The message said...Where It All Began. Think about it for a moment....when was the first time we as a group got together. It was right outside this office...when we all combined forces to take down Flamethrower. And this person has known personal facts about all of us...and has been dogging us for months."

He looked to the rest of the Legacy.

"This is obviously a trap. Whoever set this up is very clever, and managed to press all of our buttons at one time or another, to take us off of our game. I....I know this place holds a lot of memories...for all of us. But whoever this is will pay a heavy price."

Dragon Fist's helmet's eyes glowed blue for a moment.

"I'm ready. If the rest of you are, let's meet this threat and deal with them."

In reply to Mirage (msg # 108):

"Unfortunately Mirage...there's always a psycho that will call us back in. No matter how hard we try to stay out. I just hope that Diantha and Nora won't be upset for too long."

He looked inside the Agency, with a hard stare that hadn't been seen from him in some time.

"Let's do this.." he said as he made ready to enter.

"Hold on a second."  Mirage looked from the door to the office back to her comrades.  "Who has been dogging you?  I don't recall anyone mentioning this before."

"Hello Mirage,' the now costume clad StormWalker replied. "Yes....I remember when I first joined. And when you and Dragon Fist saved me from that Brain. Now that we've dispensed with the pleasantries, let's go kick some tail."

"Someone who knows all about us. Think about it...DF got shot at, and someone infected his sensei with Blood...Psyche was delivered into the hand of Brain and warped with some 'help'....come to think of it, Mirage, has anything happened with you that may indicate a vendetta? All I know is someone's been using knowledge of our most intimate details to push our buttons...to get us to this point.."

"Oh how nice of you all to be so punctual," a voice called out from further into the office. "It's hard to believe that I had to orchestrate such ornate and non-subtle means to get you all here. But the means have been achieved...you are all here. Why don't you come in...? We share so much history, you and I. I know your dreams...I know your nightmares..."

A soft laughter could be heard by the Legacy.

"It really is unfortunate that the annoying little Ms. Winters isn't here. It appeared that if someone got her already."

  StormWalker said dryly "This fellow really is a rude one, isn't he?  Shall we see the face of our tormentor and set him straight about how rude he's been?"

Mirage was about to reply to Hunters question and say that she did not know of anyone who was trailing her, but that was not true.  She did have that encounter with the man who had crippled her and the thought of that man hardened her features.  She thought that she had killed him, ended his miserable life in a final blow.

He couldn't be the same man, could he?

Without a word, Mirage walked into the Above and Beyond office.  If their unknown assailant was aiming to push their buttons, he really should have know better.

Dragon Fist's eyeholes glowed blue once again as he made his way into the office. This man, whoever he was, had indeed pushed HIS button. How dare this stalker talk about his onetime love...his teammate...

"Be careful Champion....there is great danger here....a danger unseen..." a voice seemingly coming from Dragon Fist said.

"I know Kimeran...but if we don't face this now...this person will hound us for the rest of our days."

Hunter looked in the direction of Dragon Fist, hearing the voice.

"Talking to yourself, DF?" he said as he searched earnestly with his keen eyes for their antagonizer.
