into the darkness (one shot)

[Perses]

[LOCATION: somewhere in the Rocky Mountains] He'd watched the news footage. A bank heist. A young man with interesting powers, holding his own against Aegis. He needed that man as an asset. He stood in a control room of sorts, screens all around him showing different reports, articles, profiles. There were workers - lower Cabal members - manning the computers. They all seemed nervous at his presence. He enjoyed that. He placed his hand on one's shoulder, feeling them jump. He grinned. "I want everything Aegis has on him," he stated, earning a quick nod from the man. He frowned, tightening his grip as the man started to type. "What are you doing?" "S-Sir?" He sighed, removing his hand and pinching the bridge of his nose. "Get me Mainframe." A few minutes later, a seventeen-year-old, accompanied by a Cabal agent, strode in. The doors closed behind him, the agent stepping out of the room. The young man glanced around, his eyes briefly flickering a pale green. As they did, the screens all flickered that same color. His eyes then flickered to Perses. "You summoned me," he didn't ask it but rather stated it like a fact. Perses nodded to the screen showing a close up of the bank robber's face, the footage taken from the news. "I need you to find out all you can on him. Including any files Aegis and A.R.F. might have. I want to know everything." The boy, Mainframe, nodded. "Is that all?" Perses thought for a moment. "Send a message to Null. Tell him he's heading to Astaria City tonight." "Understood, sir." With that, Perses dissolved into the shadows as the screens began to flicker pale green once again.
