Two hours after the fight, they were sat in the DarkWatch reception. David was rubbing his neck, Sam was playing with the dent the bullet had made on his shoulder. Amy was busy texting on her phone and Laura's head was in her hands. Finally, the receptionist told them to go up the spiral staircase and head into the first door at the top.

Mike Richards office. It was spacious but homely. It had a mix of 'living room' and 'office' about it, but still had that white design the rest of the building had. The far wall, which was pretty much just one large window, illuminated the whole room.

Sat in front of the window and at a large glass desk was the grey-haired Mike Richards. He held out a hand, inviting the four to sit across from him in the chairs that had been provided. Once they were all sat he cleared his throat.

"So. What happened?"

David told him about the fight, explaining that they had used their powers to try and stop Anthony but it was no use. He had bested them, stolen a jet and was missing again.

Richards sat back in his chair and thought for a moment, "I've been thinking about the deal I offered you. I'd like to offer you another one. In my excitement I may have over reacted to your...hesitation to join us. And after reflection I can understand where you are coming from. What I instead offer you is this: you are free to come and go as you please within our organization. You can use our resources, our facility, our weapons, even my agents. All I ask, is that you work with us. You keep us updated in your activities, just so we can help and provide back up. Your powers signify that things like an ability to control water or super strength are not science fiction anymore"

David took a deep breath and was about to reply but Laura spoke first, "We'll do it" The others looked at her in shock. She looked back and shrugged her shoulders, "Look, they've been keeping tabs on us anyway. It makes sense to work with them under our own terms"

Richards smiled and nodded, "Exactly. Look, I'm sure this isn't the last we've heard of Mr. Forster so I'm sure we will be dealing with each other again soon. In the meantime, go home, get some rest. Maybe work on some team building skills. I'm sensing some tension between a couple of you"

Sam sighed, Laura hung her head slowly and David looked out of the window. Amy smiled, she didn't have a problem with any of them.
