No sooner had Icon and the gathering of heroes turned to go inside of Arthur’s Sherman Center, did another newcomer arrive on the scene. This young woman had arrived on a motorcycle, and before introducing herself had expressed her desire to help take down the Hounds of Humanity before they could do to Lost Haven what they had already done to three American cities. It was a sentiment that he shared, and he was glad that so many people had come together to stand up against the evil that the Hounds of Humanity embodied. As the newest arrival finished speaking, Icon looked to Radiance and Arthur, then to Lyger, who all seemed to nod in agreement. 

[b] “In that case, why don’t you join us?[/b] Icon said to the woman. Before the woman responded, he was suddenly aware of another presence. 

[color=indianred] “How many more are going to show up?”[/color] He heard a female voice say. He looked around, and after a moment his eyes locked onto the source. It was a lone figure dressed all in black, a hood partially concealing a mask.

[b] “Hopefully, as many as we need.”[/b] Icon responded to the woman who stood firm away from the group. [b] “Now I think it’s time we took this inside.”[/b] Icon said as he motioned for the gathered heroes to follow him. If they were going to do something about the Hounds of Humanity, they needed to act fast. The Hounds had already proven what they were capable of, and Icon was afraid of what they might do to top their latest attack.
