Dante nodded snd asked “well…who do you think it is? And maybe you can stay with one of us for a few days. Heck, maybe stay here with the boss while she recovers. You have a back ground in defense right?”

With the question he said “she is. Iris said she has to rest and not open the wound again. But Iris thinks she will make a full recovery”

Matias folded his arms and looked down at the ground, his eyes meeting both of their feet. He bit his lip for a moment.

"I mean... If she needs someone to stay with her, I guess I don't mind volunteering. And, well, I'm a kickboxer, trained and all. So if that stupid moth shows up–"

He paused, catching his tongue slip late but successfully. His arms unfolded so he could rub his brow.

"Anyway... I'll stay. But I, like, low-key want someone to watch over my place for as long as I'm here, just in case. Maybe even catch the creep sneaking in and out of there. That'd be a bonus."

Dante nodded and said “I’ll keep an eye out for you. Leave that to me. You want to use the lift to get back upstairs so we can get some answers? A lot of answers…”

Matias blinked rapidly, cocking his head forwards.

"'Answers'? About what...?"

It seemed like he was waiting for an answer himself, but the pause in his speech was just so he could rise from his seat. His legs popped and snapped as he stretched them out, making the man sigh heavenly.

"I think I have to go upstairs anyway. Gotta let her know what the plan is..."

He stretched even as he walked towards the lift, grunting as he snapped the bubbles out of his spine.

Dante followed him saying as they stepped into the room “Iris is wanting to know what the heck is going on. More along the lines of why Lady Midnight is also the Masked Boss of the rebellion. Bane is trying to keep her calm but…”

The lift took them up the stairs and opened right by the stairs and Dante walked back to the bedroom. As they walked into the room Bane and Iris was by the doorway while it looked like the boss was resting.

Iris looked over and said “alright we need a plan…”

Matias returned the response with a nod of his own.

"I still don't understand that," he said, "Like, I think she tried to explain it to me, but I just... I don't get the point of a double life like that, you know?"

He felt the lift do its namesake under his feet, carrying the two to the upper level. He stepped out as the doors slid open for his convenience, following Dante to the bedroom. His eyes widened when he saw the pair standing in the hallway; his brain could only assume the worst, but his eyes proved it wrong as he looked past their shoulders.

"So," Matias began, "I told Dante I'll be staying here til the boss heals fully. It's on you guys whether you wanna stay here too or not. Either way, Dante's looking over my place tonight. Feel free to join him."

He shuffled lightly in place.

"We also gotta figure out what's going on with her double life, but I say we wait til she heals before we interrogate her. Doubt she needs that stress right now."

Bane was leaning against the wall as he said “well, my thinking is she needs to keep her title in order to do the good work she’s doing in the public eye. She’s a hero of the people at the capital. If any of the other lords found out she started the rebellion…”

Dante nodded and finished “she would be made an example. As would the rest of us once they learned about us. We would be killed in the upper level city square…” Iris looked into the room to see Midnight and said softly “doing all of this on her own…we can’t let her keep doing his on her own. I’m staying as well, for the medical side of her recovery.”

Matias blinked rapidly and let out a soft yet audible whistle. Getting killed by authorities would not be exactly pleasant for him, much less in front of a crowd of people. Nobody in this room deserved such a date either, in his opinion. Dante, for example, probably deserved a smack atop the head at most. Not that. Or being starved in solitary confinement.

Good lord, he though to himself.

"Appreciate you staying Iris," he said, "I'll stay as long as I have to, but I'm not much of a medic myself. Guess that's a plan. Hopefully the boss heals quickly. By the way..."

He looked towards Dante.

"... Here."

From his pocket, he pulled the two notes, then he handed them to Dante.

"You can get them checked whatever. And if you see anything suspicious in my house..."

He smacked his hands together.

"... kill it."

Dante smirked and his eyes glowed red for a moment. “Oh my brother leave it to me…I’ll get the report and find out all I can…” he took the notes and then Iris looked at him.

“Dante…your chin is bruised. What happened before?” Dante sighed and looked away. “Nothing…”

Matias had to admit that he hadn't paid much attention to any changes in Dante's face, much less the bruise that had grown on it. It was astounding that he missed it, really; it was rather huge and just starting to glow purple. He took a moment to ponder, then suddenly tapped his foot.

"You should've been there," he began, "it was so funny. Idiot tripped on the stairs and hit his chin right on the hand rail. Flopped over like a damn fish!"

A hard belly laugh erupted, so loud that it made Matias shut his eyes. He sounded like a pig crossed with a donkey that was gasping for air. It was thankfully short, only about five seconds in length.

"Ah... So funny."

He shot a wink at Dante before slapping his back playfully.

"Anyway... Is the boss asleep or something? Kinda wanna check on her."

Bane nodded and said “she is but I doubt you will bother her. We can check on her…”

Iris was glaring at Dante then said “you put him up to that? Who hit you Dante? You were attacked again weren’t you?” Dante looked down, shame in his eyes.

Bane sighed and followed Matias into the room to check on Midnight. She was asleep with the smart skin healing the wound better then the night before. Bane sighed and muttered “Dante got slugged by another cop again didn’t he?”

Matias tried his hardest to ignore the commotion behind him as he stepped into the room. It seemed acting so joyous out of nowhere wasn't the best course of action, but at least he didn't have to deal with any of that. His stride shortened as he passed by Midnight's bed, careful not to make any noise as he went over to his previous perch by the window. It seemed like he would be able to watch the sun go down without issue.

But then the c-word came out of Bane's mouth.

"You guys know about that?" he asked, turning his head to Bane. "Well, yeah, he did. There were two of em. Don't see why he can't defend himself honestly... or just stop being a pig."

Bane sighed and said “his been attacked now three times. They are trying to get him to fight back so he can be thrown into the dry cell. If he gets thrown in three times he will be marked as a danger…then worse happens to him.”

He sighed again. “Dante’s brother asked him to join the force to get a foot in the door to get more mystics in the force. And to try and find the purists in the force ranks…Dante is the best for the job. And he is now staying because it helps our cause…but his putting his life on the line. He knows it but still won’t give up…”

Midnight stirred a little and turned her head.

Matias's titular glare found itself forming onto his mug again, accentuating his now fire-lit eyes. In stark contrast to a few moments ago, he slammed his boot treads onto the floorboards as he hopped off the window sill. All in all, he didn't look too happy.

"And why should he be putting up with this? Tell me what exactly he gets out of being there? 'Oh, he's a detective.' And? Can't he go private? When have pigs ever helped us? Ever? You said it yourself; they don't like mystics."

He would have went off more if it wasn't for the shuffling next to him. Seeing Midnight stir was enough to calm him down some. Still, the sigh that followed was one fueled by frustration.

"Look, all I'm saying is that he can't let himself get pushed around like that just to make our jobs slightly easier, however it does it."

Bane looked at him and said “he won’t leave. We have all tried to get him to leave. But…his information got us six raids before they happened…got us information on targets and much more. He knows he could get out but he keeps saying his pain is worth the lives we have saved…”

Bane lowered his head and added “I hate seeing him suffer like this but…he won’t give up…”

Midnight stirred again and Bane sighed. “We…make sacrifices Matias…Lady Midnight…Dante…prices paid to bring peace”

They heard yelling outside the doors and Bane sighed. “She is going to chew him out for not saying anything…”

Darkening every second it seemed, Matias's eyes moved between Bane and Midnight before he decided to look down at the floor. The distant yelling filled the silence that he could have easily done but chose not to. He sighed yet again, his shoulders heaving visibly.

"Well, if that's what he wants to do..."

More silence, followed by more yelling filling it.

"Think we should go down there and tell Iris to calm down some."

Bane gave him a look and said “just let her get it Out. She’s been pissed since the boss left this morning. Better now then later.” He looked at midnight again and said “I get why she did this…crazy yes but I get it…” he sighed and rolled his neck.

When the yelling didn’t stop bane looked at the doors. “Okay now we should stop it. This is way too long for the yelling to still be going” he turned to the door, shaking his head and muttered in Norse.

Matias returned Bane's condescending expression with one that was even more so.

"Oh, now we're going. Whatever you say, dogman."

Matias easily slipped past Bane and out the door, muttering softly to himself.

"Will you shut up already?" Matias barked, "I think the pig sympathizer gets it by now!"

Iris was standing there. Somehow she had gotten Dante shirt off and they saw more then just the scars. Higher up on his chest where Matias hadn’t seen before were fresh wounds like looked like burn marks and water burns.

Iris pointed at him and said “this is what I’m mad about! They are tormenting him. Holy water and worse!” Dante looked down and Bane blinked. “Dante…you don’t have to keep doing this…”

Dante didn’t answer, looking like a kid for a moment.

There was a pregnant tension in every inch of that twenty-foot radius where everyone stood. Wherever Matias's eyes traced Dante's body, he found another unit of gore. Some were fresher than others, still healing over pink, glistening meat. Yet here Dante was, alive, somehow.

Matias huffed.

"Look," he grumbled, "as much as I don't want to put fuel in the fire, I have to agree. I really don't know why you're putting up with all this. For us? I say quit it, for your and our sake."

He folded his arms, side eyeing the detective now.
