The raids were getting worse by the day. They were losing numbers quickly. H4CK3R looked over the burning remains of the city from the rooftop of Rocket Corp's HQ. "Sir." He turned to see Agent at the door that led up to the rooftop. "What is it?" H4CK3R asked. Agent tapped the side of his glasses twice, a holograph appearing before him. Projected on the holograph was live security footage of the front gate. "She's here." "I'll go greet her." He began walking towards the door, past Agent, into the stairwell leading into the Headquarters. "Be careful, sir. Besides, we don't know if she's changed or not." Agent said, a hint of worry in his voice. H4CK3R looked over his shoulder back at Agent, "Don't worry about it. I can handle her." Agent nodded. He turned back around, and continued down the stairs. At the front gate was a woman in a grey coat, brown combat boots, and in some... charred armor... "Mitsi..?" he asked, unsure if it was truly her. He reached out tentatively, but pulled his hand away at the last moment. Mitsi smiled at him, though that very smile held no warmth. "Hello, dear." She stepped closer to him, placing a hand on his shoulder, subtly leaning into him. "How have you been?" "I- uh..." H4CK3R stuttered as he struggled to regain a thought of what he wanted to say to her. "I'm doing well. What about you?" "Hm... I'm... alright, in a sense." Mitsi replied. "Though, I will say, you don't seem to be doing well." She glanced down at his slightly torn clothes. She giggled softly as she moved her hand down to trace the contours of H4CK3R's upper body through his shirt. "You've changed, I will give you that." H4CK3R shivered slightly at her gentle, yet cold touch. "And you as well." He looked back at the front door of the HQ, before looking back towards Mitsi,"Do you want to head inside?" he asked, gesturing at the door behind him. Mitsi nodded. H4CK3R pulled her into the building, before locking the door behind them. He then activated the secondary and tertiary locks. He turned to Mitsi, "Welcome back to Rocket Corp." He led her through countless hallways, showing off the new technologies that have been developed, even during a time of great peril. Mitsi walked beside him, taking note of everything she saw. At the end of the tour, H4CK3R brought Mitsi into the meeting room, where the remaining members of the mercenary team were discussing plans for the upcoming attack that was headed for HQ. He called for silence, gathering his thoughts. After a moment, he spoke, a gleam in his eyes that appeared as plans for an internet wide event flowed through every corner of his mind. "Well. Let's get started."
