It was a coular folk that 'where there were Suits, there alls', and this held no less true for Haven's city center The Central District was defended by its own set of walls independent of the Panopticon and government funded walls of the city proper

These walls were far higher tech, personally commissioned by the wealthy to protect them Not to mention it kept out lower class citizens

Within these walls, inside the penthouse suite of the White Rose, an internationally renowned five-star hotel, two men sat on a luxuriously cushi+oned couch as they watched a wide telescreen projecting ies of brutal, bloody battle that coolds and floral patterns that decorated the walls of their room

"So, what do you think? Wouldn't it be fun to just show up and screith theer grin His costuned to etup

His eyes flashed with bright color, his white pupils lined with three rings of red, blue and goldhis costume

"Oh cos, don't you? Don't you want to just go out there and break these villains in half?" said Hat Trick with an eager s for an excuse to leave
