Gary and Elijah had met when the latter was running an undercover operation trying to find the source of the black substance. In the end, it looked like the substance was linked to NIRV in one way or another.An organization that was incredibly large and seemed to have its hands in everything, including those at White Rose. Because of it, Elijah knew that it would be hard for him to pursue things further unless more evidence was able to be gathered.The thing was, Elijah was restricted to doing things by the books and only doing work that would be handed to him by White Rose themselves. That was why he had agreed to stay in contact with Kai and the Howlers.A win-win situation for both groups as they would share information related to matters that would help them along. Unfortunately, there wasn't much in terms of information about the dark solution to go on.However, the contact between the two still stayed somewhat frequent, and even now, while Elijah was at White Rose, he had been

Stinger was on his way to the south side of the prison, and he was venturing there alone. He didn't want to bring his group with him because he needed to make it clear that he was going alone.As he was making his way there, he froze for a second. Turning his head to his right, he could see the guard entering with none other than Gary Dem behind him. The two of them caught eyes for a moment, but quickly Gary just looked away.'That b*stard, I bet he's surprised to see me alive,' Stinger thought in his head as he continued his way to the south side.Similar to the north side, there was a part of the prison where one knew they were in the south side because there were several members that would be guarding the area. However, it was unlike the north side where the members would stand by the hallways.The south members strangely sat down every ten meters or so, and they made it quite clear they knew Stinger was there based on the looks they had given.'Alright, I haven't had much time to

Stinger was confused; he was trying to summon his tail, his main weapon that he had used a number of times. Yet, when he tried, it was almost as if his own body wasn't listening to him, and the throbbing pain that was felt on his shoulder was returning.It was taking over his body, not allowing him to do almost anything. At times, when he was low on energy, or had just gotten out of a big fight, he wouldn't be able to transform, but apart from the throbbing pain, he felt fine, so why wasn't it working?"Get out!" Stinger shouted, and forced the tail out of his body. He was covered in sweat but even more so, he was frustrated at everything that was happening.With his stinger, he turned around and stabbed it right toward where Blackjack currently was. It looked like a perfect hit, but when it managed to go right through his body, it had exploded into what was seemingly dust; it was an afterimage.Right after that, Stinger was trying to keep track of where Blackjack was, but he was noth

When Gary was pacing back and forth, he had been listening to everything the other prisoners had said about the new arrival. He had heard what he had done in his past, how he killed not just those who had been declared a target but their families as well.Just while listening to the story, Gary was reminded of his own family, his mother who had ended up in the situation she was currently in. He still had no idea who was responsible for it.One thing he was sure of: it was in the middle of the Color Gang attack, and it was because of people like Boulder that those in his family got hurt. What Gary didn't expect was for Boulder to try and attack him out of the blue."What the f*ck, how is this scrawny man stopping my attack?" Boulder shouted.Desperate, Boulder tried to move his hands, but he couldn't. He started to feel a stinging sensation in his knuckles. He could see the deep claws digging into his large fist. It felt like it was impossible for him to pull it out.In desperation, he

Inside the large White Rose base, one of the field agents was in an office along with his squad. Elijah was bunkered down at his desk and continuously looked around to see if anyone was paying any attention to what he was doing.He had been searching for a while now on other cases that had turned out like this: those that had been brought in and locked up with next to no evidence.The issue was, Altereds, the White Rose, the whole thing was a relatively young operation in the grand scheme of things. They had around 70 years of history, so there weren't many cases to look at.Frustrated by the whole thing, Elijah placed both of his hands by the side of his head and was almost ripping out his hair.‘This whole thing is clearly corrupt from above. I can try to do some deeper research into who was responsible for submitting the further evidence and appointing the judge, but that would require me to have captain-level access.’‘I don't even know if I can trust my own captain, though, or he
