[b]Against Goliath[/b]

Alec always had a soft spot for child soldiers. He had seen plenty of them being used as mine detectors by official government contractors in Liberia, being blown up to pieces and hell - even being waterboarded by CIA officials for failing to hold a gun right, something that a kid should never be forced to do. While the ninja was bearing a load of cutting edge technology, he was still a sixteen-seventeen year old, forced to fight in a war just because God decided to up his life a notch. The revelation that the government was employing child soldiers wasn't much of a bombshell either, but the report that they were using child soldiers within the American soil was concerning. If Uncle Sam maintained this pace until the end, it wouldn't be long before your usual American citizen turned on the TV and found out about yet another toddler in a military uniform murdered. It was sickening, but not enough for Alec to try and do anything about it.

After silently observing the couple tear the new guy a new, state-of-the-art asshole, the radiant meta finally decided to interfere. "Alright, alright.", he held his left palm up, his poker face still present. He slowly lifted himself up, noticing Elijah's death wall for the first time before waltzing his gleaming gaze towards the trio. "Kid, tell us the name of your employer. Withholding information was pretty smart of you, but if your employer is that powerful to-", his speech was interrupted by a buzzing sound on one of his suit's pockets. He pulled his phone out, revealing yet another message by the MHRC contact who seemed to be doing his best to keep him up to date. [i]"The FBI have traced the broadcast's signal. It's Avalon. I think they're sending an inspection unit as we speak."[/i]. Alec winced the moment the name Avalon came into the equation. If that was where the TV guy was hiding, that meant he had diplomatic immunity, not to count his bodyguards were the Magi superhero squad, arguably the most efficient metahumans on this planet. He raised his left brow at the kid, sliding his phone into his pocket as he spoke 

"It's Avalon, huh. Basically, whatever choice Elijah and Roze make here, our paths are still going to cross.", he paused for a second before carrying on "so, while I'm not big with working alongside mass killers", pointing at Elijah "and kids" he continued, his finger motioning around like a CCTV camera "we're gonna need all the help we can get. I guess now is the time for us to board in the MRAP. Of course, if Elijah has something against it, then you two can board the car by yourself and call the clean-up team", Alec finally brought his speech to a conclusion. He was only hoping the inspection unit would manage to find evidence incriminating enough to avert the need for a confrontation with the Magi squad.
