Ancient Bonds, and debts unpayed

The Ranger had been in New York for the weekened to visit his family for his Uncle's 80th birthday or something along those lines at least, he had forgotten how old the guy was anyway. He sighs standing on the roof top of some random building minding his own buisiness thinking about the lovely and not so lovely qualities of being a 'famous' super hero. When out of no where over the sounds of the cars, screaming venders, and stupid Yankees fans, he hears a very familiar noise. That noise being the ever dreadful bang of a gunshot; a noise everyone despises and one every hero hates to hear. For more than likely when one hears that noise in the Big Apple it means something bad has transpired, that or the cops are having training session in the open; the former of the two choices of course being much more believable in the mind of the 'young' hero.

The Ranger sprints off in the direction of the noise, jumping from rooftop to rooftop with his amazing speed, only to see a rickidy old
house with a man about his age standing there yet no one with a gun. This confuses Ranger greatly for you usually see someone with a gun at the sene of the crime if it only transpired a couple of seconds ago. He jumps down from his pearch using the auning as a mini-trampoline before hitting the ground to break his fall; once on the ground he sprints to the man looking at him and seeing no wounds. "Are you alright sir? Did you see or know anyone who would try to shoot you?" He asks the man scanning the surroundings, eyes landing on the building he was just on seeing a flash of red hair which sparks his interest.

Back in New York again She thought to herself, she much preferred Chicago but whatever. The base was empty and quiet as usual, she was the only one in New York for the time being. She made her way down the white hallway, her shoes clicking against the floor echoed down the hallway. She sat down in the chair by the monitor when something caught her eye. It was from some stores security camera. She made it half screen size and the other half a feed of the outside. A group of Black robed ladies stood inside. Now,most would ignore this and just think it's a bunch of people going to some party. But after 2 years at this, it was pretty easy to spot the problems. "Either a costume party's going on or I've got trouble." She muttered after copying the address. Her car roof was open already for her to slide in. It peeled out of the Sector Six Hidden base and out of the abandoned warehouse above it. The car skidded to a halt by the kid outside the shop. By now he had a hooded man beside him. "So. What appears to be the problem here gentlemen or did I stumble upon a costume party?" She asked sarcasm the white hooded man and the other guy who seemed pretty normal.

The Ranger listens to the man's reply and shakes his head sighing softly. "No need for sarcasm, just trying to see if your okay." He mutters softly reajusting his long bow on his back to a more comfortable position and slowly taking his compound bow off his back hearing another rustle and movement from the building across from them. Walking over to the bullet, now lodged in the wall of the building that was infront of the man around Ranger's age. He inspects the hole and using one of his dagers he slowly makes the circle of impact bigger to remove the bullet casing. Running it through his hands he figures out the calibir, how hard it impacted, the damage done to the bullet its self and the wall as well. Scratching the back of his head he spins the bullet around in his fingers while looking back at the building as another flash of red hair is seen from the mysterious 'shop' across the street.

"Strange, seems the bullet was not shot from very far and is only a light calibire though was able to pierce through the wall at least six inches on its own." He mutters taking out one of his own arrows and notching it on his arrow, turning to face the building before firing it off with luck, and his nearly perfect accuracy, the arrow should fly in the same path the bullet was fired but backwards. To make it simpiler the arrow will go right back to where the bullet was originally fired from, and if any noise other than the clunk of an arrow hitting a wall is heard than he will know the person is still in the building. "If I am right my arrow should go right back to where this bullet was fired from, thus telling us if the attacker stayed and if so how many we're dealing with here." He mutters studying the bullet still, wondering who could have made ammo like this that would be strong enough to lodge its self six inches into a brick wall.

"Yeah, i'm just fine. Just got shot at, not as if it's a common occurence, or anything. No, it's more of a someones trying to kill me party."

"Good, thought so. So many of these freaks that I`ve run into have been real but a few have been false alarms." She said, reminding herself of one such occurence last week. Some thing walking over to them and telling the boy not to trust strangers and some other stuff. Responding to the strangers part she said, "U.S. Government, a division you will never hear of. If there is anyone that should not be trusted it`s you and your hooded friends over there. I recommend you make this easy so i don`t have to beat you up and then throw your ass in prison." She pulled out her two Glock 17`s knowing that they never chose the easy way out. "So, which will it be?" She asked twirling her pistols, "And I recommend telling your friends to put their hands up and drop their weapons to make this easy so I don`t have to put a bullet through any of their heads." She bluffed, she didn`t kill unless it was a last resort.

The Ranger raises an eyebrow at everything that is said and leans agaisnt the wall not trusting this elf, or Fae, guy one bit which is most likely how everyone else must feel about him now from the costume and what not. His thoughts are soon complied with how young man answers him, and pulls the gun, and by the very demanding tone making him shake his head. "I am called many things by mostly The Ranger or The Crimson Archer." He states softly looking around at the other people, not used to being 'bossed' around by anyone other than Black Knight, Haze, or rarely Black Arrow, but if it is a way to get this man to trust him it is fine by him. The Ranger watches the elf man very weary and untrusting of him the most out of everyone hear, the government agent intruiging him because it looks like the girl Black Arrow has been watching for a while now the best he can. He laughs slightly shaking his head at all the people that man stalks from behind a computer screne, if one was to vote whom is the biggest stalker in the world Ranger's vote would deffinately go Arrow.

"The division is classified and I would have to kill you if you knew about it. But seeing as I may be doing that anyways I will tell. Sector Six, special branch for taking down super powered criminals or other work involving something like this for example." She sighed and listened as he continued to speak. "Did you not notice the people trying to kill this kid?" She asked, gesturing to the boy, "And for all you know, I am showing them off or admiring them. I may have threatened your friends and you a bit but I will cut you a bit of slack because you don't sound like your from around here. When someone tries to kill someone it's against the law. I am getting paid to stop that. You are inviting him into a shop with people who want to kill him inside. I was just giving you a warning and if they do attempt again they will just have to eat lead or find themselves locked up." She explained to the man, he was giving her some odd vibes. He then continued to speak. She made her way closer to the man that the elf guy called Ranger and the boy. "So he is the knight of a season? In that case, where are the summer knights it's cold here." She muttered so only the two of them heard before pressing a button on her glasses. The car moved around to behind the three of them.

The Ranger listens to everything and blinks at what theAutum Knight says,"Yes, I am a big fan of Robin Hood, I have studied him the best I possibly can." He whispers softly so as no one can hear him then hears what the new person and the young man talk about Sean Collin's mother's death quickly turning to face them. "Your mother, is she Elena Marie Collin?" He asks suprrised, "Wh-when did she die? Me and Black Arrow saw her perfectly fine about a month ago when we fought her off and captured H-" He cuts off hearing the reason this 'Sean' is being attacked is because Theresa was captured by him and Black Arrow quickly setting his face stone solid and emotionless again not wanting them to realize, though they probably have, he is the main reason for this. To be specific he is not happy Elena is dead but findy it ironic she died after laughing over the fact that he killed Phillip. Shaking his head he sighs regretting the desicion but there is nothinhg he can do about it now but give this information to Black Arrow and the rest of The Phantoms. Hell they could even use it to crush Theresa's spirit some, the girl always trying to find new ways to break out though it will never happen she can't outrun Entropus or Ranger anyway.
