[center][i]“I’m so sorry team, but GCPD just found Gemini’s body in an old abandoned warehouse in midtown."

The crime scene suggests it was Peace Keeper 01."[/i][/center]

[indent]The words hit Oscar like cold water. Standing statue still with his arms crossed, the titanic metahuman released a labored sigh of displeasure. Nothing would bring Gemini back, but letting Peace Keeper go unpunished would only let this happen more. He had faced the vigilante more times than he could count, and could attribute plenty of scars to their paths crossing. One of his new teammates stormed off in tears, and another disappeared. He could hear what sounded like crying from the kitchen. Oscar couldn't blame either of them. Natalie struck him as the type who needed that solitude, and staying here meant he could console someone else.

Natalie wasn't wrong, though. That little information wasn't productive. 

He walked in and found her under a kitchen counter. She looked terrified. Of course she was, Gemini was dead and they were all very, very mortal. Oscar knelt down under the countertop and [i]very[/i] gentle rested a hand on Tiara's shoulder. Everything was fragile to his hands. 

[color=5499A8]"It's scary, knowing your life is in danger. I've stood in Peace Keeper's way enough times to know it could happen to any of us, and he knows me well enough he'll have something in mind for me if we meet again. It's okay to be scared. You can't be brave if you're [i]not."[/i][/color] Oscar talked like he was 30 years old, consoling someone who was scared of the world ending tomorrow. That's just how he was. [color=5499A8]"We'll find him. We'll make him face the consequences of every person he's ever killed, and Gemini will rest easier because of it."[/color]
