Unbound by cloth, the swirling cosmos danced across the slender arm stretched out to bar Dieselpunks path non threateningly. Despite his lack of facial festures, the somber colors swirling across his body spoke of gloom and purpose in a way that words failed to convey. Looking into the womans eyes, his right hand raised slowly to point at Karma.

"We are a partnership. Bound in trust. Trust that we, all, will see things to the end for the mutual good of us all. Close your eyes and look away if you must but I ask you hear the consequence of broken trust."

It was a simple logic where Midnight was concerned. One day Dieselpunk would have to face this same moment as the punisher, and walking away now would only cause doubt on whether she was commited. Good or bad.

The strike was violent and blissfully quick, a concentrated burst of power cosmics flaring brilliance boreing a hole no bigger than a pinky through the boys skull clear through the back. While Midnight held no love for any in the room he still felt responsible for the boys end. A modicum of pity had turned a mere violent murder and a warning into an execution befitting some dignity to the lost member Karma.

"Villains are we. This is our, your, loyalty to the organization. His life is the coin spent on the longevity of us all."

Glancingnup at Shade walker, Midnights arms fell to his sides as the cosmic menace merely levitated in place with quiet determination.
