There was no chance to catch up. Yokai wanted a moment to speak with Gunner. They had to make up for so much lost time. But given the urgency, she bit her tongue and hid her disappointment as he jumped right into their preparation.

The mission parameters were straightforward. Gunner would lead team one, comprising Flux, Velocity, and MartyrDOM. While Yokai would command Blast Wave, Hailstorm, and Whisper. Both teams were sent out to analyze the various murder scenes to gather clues about what had happened. Her team’s target was the old Burgermeister’s Meat Processing plant, Cleaver’s base of operations.

While Yokai didn’t show it, seeing Gunner coordinate the plan and issue everyone’s orders, lit a fire inside her that had been smothered for so many years. Keeping apart made it easy. However, seeing her former lover in the flesh caused all of their previous emotions to rush back and forth.

Ever since she’d met the man, he’d been an enigma. From her accidental rescue, to then turning around and immediately damning him, she never would have thought he’d become the man that he was today. She’d watched him rise and fall. Only to rise again as something new. And while she didn’t quite approve of his current position, feeling it beneath him, she respected his decision.

That is why when he called out to her across the cosmos, she answered. He was the only person left who truly knew her. To the world, she was an abhorrent monster. To him, it was clear there was still something there. She’d heard it in his voice when he asked her to come to Mazuma City.

Her ultimatum wasn’t like the others in the room. It was much more personal. Since the first time they spent together, they shared a bond. A supernatural link that allowed them both to become more connected. His demands were clear, help him put down the threat, or he’d sever the connection. She never knew Gunner to tell a lie, and he was much too important to her as an asset to lose.

Since they’d separated, they hadn’t spoken but a few words since then. However, they’d always maintained that link. Over the years, they connected through raw emotions. It was enough to know that they both still had feelings for each other.

But after the Boston Cataclysm, she’d watched him change. Gunner blamed himself for the cataclysm. Yokai blamed Clavus Ad Cor. And the United States government blamed her. He became obsessed with picking up the pieces of the broken wasteland and vowed to protect the people that redeveloped it. While she was branded a terrorist and aggressively pursued anyone with the obsession of the Gale.

From that day forward, she became a huntress, stalking anyone who stumbled upon the Gale. Governments, billionaires, and hidden agencies all drew her ire if they dug where they shouldn’t. In her mind, she was protecting them from forces they didn’t understand.
