[i]"But, this is temporary, I'm not very fond of the idea that someone knows who I am. I'm sure you know why Ditch."[/i] [b]"Sure do."[/b] [i]"But I'd rather not be found by Umbra. Seems like he or she would prove a problem for everyone here."[/i] Ditch got back to twirling a lock of her long, blonde hair. [b]"If you're careful, your identity will be kept a secret, not to worry."[/b] Ditch whistled. 

Turning towards Levi, she gave a frown. [b]"I don't imagine you'd come at every beck and call, but I hope you'd be smart enough to come when you're needed."[/b] Ditch said.  "[i]If that's all, I'll take my leave."[/i] [b]"No, that is not all. Wait a few minutes longer, won't cha?"[/b] Ditch rolled her eyes. [b]"And it isn't[i] my[/i] job to tell them who [i]you[/i] are, now is it?"[/b]

[b]"Lord, you've only been here five minutes and you're making enemies already, aren't you Omega?"[/b] Ditch stood and walked over to him, tutting and shaking her head. [b]"Obviously, if I didn't believe you could all work together, you wouldn't be here. And why specifically you? Oh, a number of reasons. The lot of you do seem to do the best you can for this city.. you're not the most well known of the supers, which means you won't be high on Umbra's list, which means he won't be expecting you in the slightest. He'll underestimate us. And that will give us an advantage."[/b] 

[b]"And, this isn't a dump. At least, it won't be for long. This is the optimal spot for a secret headquarters. Abandoned, spacious.. and a minifridge is the best way to start, of course."[/b] 

Ditch grinned at Turn Back as he spoke of how he was going to help, giving a nod in agreement. [b]"Nice of you to show your face, TB!"[/b] She exclaimed.[b] "Oh, I'll upgrade our fridge myself. Promise.[/b]" Ditch said towards Wraith, though her expression turned sour as Graffiti began to speak. Ditch bit her lip, frowning at the ground. 

[b]"Levi,"[/b] She said slowly in an attempt to calm him before the storm arrived, but too late. [i]"Do you think I've lived with this curse without intrinsically learning of it inside and out."[/i] Ditch sighed, gaze lowered. No part of her seemed alarmed by Levi's attacks, but when he uttered her name, she looked up. [b]"I expect we'll be in touch."[/b] Was all she said, letting him go.

Ditch looked back at Graffiti bitterly.[b] "I can assure you, I have what we need to destroy Umbra."[/b] She muttered. [b]"I have the tech, the funds, and leads. This space is yours to play with, do with it what you will."[/b] That bit was directed at Rose. 

A small, almost sad smile, rose on Ditch's face as she turned to Reaper, arms crossed. [b]"Some fashion,"[/b] She echoed, giving a laugh. [b]"Oh, yes. Some fashion indeed. Did you know, Reaper? That he's a darkness elemental, just like you. Only he can do so much more with his ability.. He uses his darkness so devour people's life force, slowly, painfully. He can take your powers away. Just like that, the very thing you've built your life upon.. gone." [/b]

[b]"He killed my father."[/b] Ditch said, staring at Reaper. She wouldn't look away. She wasn't afraid. [b]"Years ago.. left his body in a ditch for me to find. Mhmn. That's where the name came from. Not such a fabulous backstory, huh?"[/b] She didn't look very saddened at all. [b]"I was nothing then, neither was he. I don't know how he got so powerful.. but something is wrong. It's not just me who's family he's destroyed, it's countless other's he's hurting, and going to hurt. He needs to be stopped. And I will do it, one way or another."[/b] 

[b]"Would you care to hear my plan, or would you like to interrogate me any more?"[/b] She asked.
