(Note: this takes place earlier, during the fight)

Nick Cecal *

was awakened from his rum-induced nap by the sounds of violent struggle coming from the darkened street outside. Carefully he spied out of a window, and saw the battle between the heroes and the Ouroboros agents.

-*Whoa!* He thought. *Heroes! Actual heroes, fighting next to my apartment!!* He didn't recognize any of them though.

He watched as the villains escaped, the police arrived, and the heroes left.

He shook his head. While he was planning on becoming a hero himself, it was for the money, not for actually risking his neck in battle. Not with villains as scary as those anyway! The occasional thief, maybe.

His telekinetic powers had awakened recently, and he just KNEW they were the key out of his perpetual poverty. All he needed was a company willing to hire him!

Fortunately, he already had a prospect.

He picked up the pamphlet he had been reading:

"NEXT wanted for Hero work. No experience needed. Good pay. Contact Caduceus Inc."

Mike nodded. "You're probably right. If I see him again, I'll speak to him about this. As for now, I have some work to do. And remember, watch your back." With that, he got onto his motorcycle and drove off.

Touma nodded, waving at Mike as he left. He supposed that he was going to have to watch his back now more than ever. As that group Ouroboros looked about ready to surge back to life, this meant very likely they would try to collect him.

Try being the key word.

He regarded Alessandra, "Okay, I guess we can close the shop for tonight. I am going home to the apartment."

She smiled and began preparations to close down, and he emptied the registers and such. Dividing the money with Aless, he went off on his own motorcycle back home.

Eventually, Mike made his way to the Caduceus corporate building. He sat on his motorcycle and stared at the building, deep in thought. If what that guy said is true, then we have one hell of a fight on our hands. I got to make sure I'm ready for this. I'm just a rookie. But I guess that doesn't matter, as long as justice gets served.

The Caduceus Building was very large and had a somewhat intimidating look to it, like something that looked innocuous on an instant inspection, but which turned much more forbidding the more you look at it. The company logo featured prominently on the top of the building, a huge staff with what looked like a vine creeping around it.

Not much was going on at this hour.

Mike sat thinking for a couple hours. The quiet both calmed him and felt a bit foreboding. He had learned what was going on in there, and had thoughts about storming the building and taking it down. He knew that he couldn't do that. Not yet. With a sigh, he turned his motorcycle back on and went home to rest.

In the morning, Nick dragged himself off the couch, took a bath, and made himself as presentable as he could. He hated doing this but he guessed he'd better give a good first impression at his job interview.

He picked up the pamphlet, went outside, hailed a cab, and eventually arrived in front of the Caduceus building.

-*Hmm. That symbol. It looks... familiar. Have I seen something like it before?* (note: Nick is noticing the resemblance to the Ouroboros symbol, which he saw when they rained their "greeting cards" all over the city (in T&B episode 10). *Bah, what does it matter.* He walked towards the entrance.

Mike wandered the streets of the city, dressed in his civilian clothes. He was still a bit sore from the fight last night, but was confident that he could take another one of those things down if he needed to. He came to a park bench and sat down, looking around and making sure there were no thugs causing trouble.

Five young men walked through the area, there didn't seem to be anything odd about them, except for one of them.

A black haired young man who looked exactly like the man Ronin fought last night, well, before he turned into an odd beetle monster.

He seemed to stare at Mike for a moment, but then kept walking.


Touma meanwhile was tending his flower shop as usual. Alessandra was selling a rose bouquet to a young couple, and then she walked back in and asked, "So, thinking about that guy from last night?"

"...Yeah, I am just kinda worried that we may be in over our heads."


As he approached the doors, they opened automatically. Inside, the Caduceus symbol was right above the main desk, where people were signing in for the day.

The whole place seemed rather busy, people rushing off to jobs, and going down one of five of the elevators nearby.

Mike narrowed his eyes at the young man. After letting them get a good distance ahead, he got up and followed them, trying to stay out of sight.

The five people did not seem to notice Mike following them. It appeared they were going off toward the building, taking a slightly more roundabout way near a bunch of shops.

Mike continued following, periodically ducking into shops to avoid being seen. He clutched a small pocket knife, keeping it hidden. He was sure that this was the kid from last night, and he wanted to know what he was up to.

Nick realized that he had *no* actual idea of how the process of being hired as a Hero was supposed to go. Oh well, it's the company's job to explain it to him, right?

He approached the main desk, looking for someone he could ask.

Alan had decided on sleeping in, but his mind wouldn't rest as he wished he would, so now he was out walking the streets in his civilian attire. He was just walking along, when he happened to see a suspicious young man following a group of people. He felt something was up, and decided to tail the suspicious man.

Mike noticed that he was being followed. Another one of Caduceus' thugs? he thought to himself. He had a choice, either stop and fight or continue tailing the group. For now, he decided it was best to do the latter.

Alan realized that the man figured out what he was doing, so Alan decided that it was time to interfere. He ran up to the man and put his hand on his shoulder, saying, "Ok, bud, that's enough."

Mike swung around and punched Alan across the chin. "Back off!" he said. He prepared himself for a fight with this Caduceus thug.

Alan recovered from the blow, and as the adrenaline flowed through him, he went to punch the man in the stomach. It was then that he realized something seemed familiar about this man.

Mike Lurched from the blow, but quickly recovered. He kicked the man's shin and grabbed a steel pipe laying on the ground. The pipe faintly glowed with blue energy and Mike waited for the next move.

"Hmm... I have an odd feeling that I recognize you from somewhere. Have we met?" Alan said, as his curiosity bested his anger.

"I doubt it. I don't socialize with Ouroboros thugs."

"Ouro-What? I have no idea what your talking about, and I don't appreciate being called a thug by a guy stalking people. In fact, it is my duty to stop you."

"Your duty?!" Mike sneered. "You attacked me without any idea what I was doing. What makes you think you're some kind of hero or something?"

"You struck the first blow, all I did was stop you. You where the one following a group of people. Not me."

The main desk secretary spoke to him, "So, what are you here for, young man?"

It looked like there were other perspective heroes standing nearby, waiting.


By now, the action had drawn a crowd and watchers.

The five man team looked back for a second at the noise, and against his better judgment, Zeke headed back to check out what was going on.

Looking over from a little while back, he said, "Huh, looks like a fight..."

Another of them patted him on the shoulder, "Its not our business, Zeke."

Zeke took one last look at one of them, and got a very eerie feeling in his stomach. That guy...he had seen him somewhere before, and the terms exchanged had not been pleasant.

All the same, Commander Ricard would not be pleased at all if they were late today of all days.


Meanwhile, Touma had decided to try to seek out a Hero or something, just to see if they had any better ideas on this than he did.

They had to know something was up...
