[quote=Dedonus] “Ah, so you’re the mysterious Director Anderson! For some strange reason I imagined you having an eye patch.” However, this comment only elicited silence and a stern look from the Director of S.T.R.I.K.E. “You know, like Nick Fury? David Hasselhoff? Samuel L. Jackson? Even Fire Emblem had their own !"When these references did not make any impressions on Director Anderson, Chris immediately dropped the subject. “Okay, I also like to have a ‘chat’. But first, promise me not to berate me about losing those three metahumans that I picked up from West Virginia. It was one of men who turned out to be a shape-shifting, um, being that freed them.”

Anderson stood there for a moment, not saying anything as he allowed Arthur's reaction to him sink in. The Director felt a rush of annoyance wash over him in response to Arthur's joking at a time like this. Especially after failing so spectacularly to bring in a trio of metas so recently.However, that was not important now, what was important, was the situation involving Nightmare and his accomplice.

"Don't worry about that right now Mr. Arthur, those three aren't relevant at the moment." Anderson started. "Are you aware of the situation in Lost Haven with the killer known as Nightmare?" Anderson asked.

Once Arthur had nodded in the affirmative, Anderson proceeded. 

"It's much worse than we've let on." Anderson said gravely. "This Nightmare has not only killed a number of civilians and broadcasted it...and us, all over the television. But he's taken out every squad we've sent after him." 

Arthur stood there, then was about to say something, when Anderson cut him off. Anderson may not have known Arthur personally, but the Director had handpicked the young man for his position within the organization, and thus was familiar enough with the young man's ego to know that he was about to mention that HE hadn't been sent to deal with Nightmare just yet, and that the slippery killer wouldn't know what hit him. 

"The last one to go after Nightmare was Icon. He couldn't stop Nightmare, and we don't know where he is, or even if he's still alive." Anderson paused, letting the gravity of what he had just said sink in.
