The next few days passed uneventfully. Ace kept up her air patrols still hoping to draw a response from anyone. New Davenport was a city of over five million people, the highest population in all of post war America. It covered more land than any other large city in the United States of North America.

At the rate Ace was taking it, it would take longer than a week to truly cover the entire city. She made certain to vary her search pattern. The most and least likely areas got covered first; areas like the warehouse and shipping districts and the suburbs and residential blocks.

One positive was crime rate dropped considerably while Ace was on patrol. The other Heroes that did air patrol welcomed her added assistance. Not all of them had the heightened senses that Ace did. There were eight others who joined her on various rotations. They would occasionally meet and discuss any patterns that they felt were emerging. The law prevented them from taking direct action against any normals, even with Article Two in effect, but they reported everything they saw to the normal police.

At the end of the fourth day of air patrol Ace was called into Captain Angel’s office. She entered and was surprised to see Bones, who ran the E.E.D in New Davenport and Police Commissioner Albert Miller inside. “Ace, come in and have a seat,” the Captain said as she closed the door.

You knew this was coming.

She carefully took one of the remaining chairs and said, “You asked to see me?”

“That’s right, I was just talking with these gentleman about our recent air patrol efforts, and they had some questions to ask you.”

Ace nodded and waited. Bones was the first to speak. “We’ve been looking over the results you and the rest of the officers on air patrol have been bringing in. You all have been doing good work. Whose idea was it to start collaborating between the E.E.D and the normals?”

Bones was one of the older Fourths out there, born not long after the generation had started, she didn’t know much more about him than that. His brown hair was just starting to show grey. He was clean shaven his green eyes were sharp.

There is something familiar about him.

Ace thought back over her times out patrolling. “I couldn’t say for certain, sir. I have to admit my mind has been on other things.”

“That is unsurprising. Torment has been unable to determine if you or Ms. Carpenter was the target of the recent attack. For all we know it could have been both of you,” Commissioner Miller said. He shook his head and continued, “We are quite pleased with what has come out of this more concerted effort on the part of the E.E.D officers. And Bones and I have decided that it was time to make it more official.”

“We want you to head up the aerial patrol here in New Davenport. All officers that are assigned to aerial patrol, both normals and Heroes will report to you.
