He eyed a suspicious looking plainclothes man loitering across the street from the DEO HQ. The man’s sunglasses, casual NY baseball cap, and shapeless gray hoodie were so unassuming as to be noteworthy. Judging by the way the man seemed utterly bored and only altered his course infrequently, Ezra would guess he was some kind of agent either spying on the DEO, or a member of the DEO themselves on lookout, which made sense given the abilities of some aliens to avoid normal means of detection.

A bang echoed behind him as the door was kicked in, and he spun on his heel, violently glowing green energy lighting up his fists and eyes. He faced the threat with a sneer already in place and fists poised to launch his energy attacks at the attacker, but the man’s glowing red eyes made him pause. An alien? Or a meta?

Another combatant came down through the roof, displaying a similar ability as his own to become intangible. This one had glowing red eyes as well, which may have been comforting if they weren’t on a human’s face. There was a quick exchange, and the first man, Briggs, lowered his gun. The other seemed to be in charge, and… [i]is he threatening me?[/i] Ezra’s defensive stance widened, and he clenched his fists tighter. He knew how quickly a gun could be turned against him, lowering it meant nothing, and the other man’s words had been decidedly… unfriendly.

...maybe that was understandable, if he was an alien at least. Being hunted wasn’t exactly the greatest forge for wholesome people skills. He didn’t relax, but refrained from blasting them both in the face and escaping out the window. “Who are you?” He demanded sharply, “what are you doing here?” His eyes took in Briggs’ equipment, uncomfortably similar to the agents he’d fought at The Small; “Who’s them?” [i]’as long as your not with them’[/i], he’d said, did that mean there was another faction at play here? Or was this one hunting the DEO too? Did that make this other one a spy? His eyes narrowed, uncertain but unwilling to assume anything.
