Three Days later 3:00 PM

Warehouse Undisclosed location
===

The past three days had been heavily dampened as the near death of two heroes, and the injuries sustained by some cops, some of them outright dying from them. Resulted in a crackdown by the police on villains. Black Tree had chosen to make sure its members did not suffer the bulk of this and only let auxiliary members, low ranking villains in the organization, suffer at the hands of the cops to draw away heat. It may not have been as severe as it had been if there had not been multiple big banks hit at the same time successfully. It was clearly the work of some organized group though Black Tree as it had grown use to did not appear to have had a leak having Karma killed seemed to be for the best. 

With East, and Shade Walker staying out of the next operation they members of the team assigned to the Stray Sheep hideout had been assigned by Shade Walker's associates to work with Strike Team Granite. A team made specifically to act as terrorist agents in an attempt to foil, and screw with hero operations. Though this may spike heat again the operation may very well critically damage hero moral for hte new future, and thus had allowed the operation.

Around the barren warehouse was a stock of guns, ammo, and explosives. Men in fatigues, and some other lower ranking villains with quirks. The men weren't the same as the bank robbers, and it would seem that the normal soldiers were just here to deal with cops, or help the villains seeing as they were only equipped with pistols, and sub-machine guns. They had very little body armor relegating them to leg, and chest armor. However one group seemed to stand out among the others. Men in suits wearing visors, and looking around. In the back sat a man in a black suit his face hidden by the shade. That was their commander supposedly. He had his personal assistants working to make sure the trunks, no different from those big tractor trailers that moved food, and goods from one place to another. Those were the vehicles used to transport them today apparently Kazuma was not being relied on for this operation. As the soldier looked around one of the villains mumbled something, [b]"So who's the guy in charge anywhere?"[/b] questioned the villain who one of his buddies replied [b]"I can't tell...but that outfit looks familiar. I've heard talk around him from guys like us but he isn't well known by the public. His name might be Crossbones. Some other people call him White Skull. Just nicknames though. Fuck if I'm going to call him out on it. We're just here till the boss gives the signal then we'll do our job."[/b] commented the villain's compatriot in return.
