    "Ok, that's enough," Silias sighs, "Jace, you promised to behave."

    They all drop their arms and Jace shrugs, "I was just joking."

    Kat glares at him, "Let's see you fight an E in a skirt and see how much you want to joke afterward."

    Cade tries to hide his laughter only halfway succeeding. Jace narrows his eyes and Silias steps in, "Kat, why don't you explain."

    "We were attending a party when Alterations attacked. I protected the people while Cade went to get more weapons from our house. Then he protected the house while I fetched kids and went after our target."

    Kat led them to where the fight took place, "It was obvious when I first started fighting him that he was not the original target. He was a high-class Bone Alteration able to fully remove and shape his bones. I estimate he is an E2."

    After showing them the damage, she took them to the pile of bones, "I suspect he hijacked our original target."

    "Which would have lowered his power," Silias says looking at the bones.

    "If his power was lowered, it didn't seem to be a problem for him. He acted like he was toying with me."

    That's a serious problem then," Silias comments, "Did he speak?"

    Kat nods, "And from what he said it sounded like the Queen arranged this?"

    Cade speaks, "Its possible she wanted to lure hunters out here and test what they could do."

    Jace nods, "What kind of Alterations were the ones in the town?"

    "A's mostly."

    Silias looks around, "We're not going to get answers standing around here. Let's see what the residents have to say"

    They nod, and Cade leads them to the house. When they approach the house, the door swings open and Patty flies out crashing into Kat, causing her to wince.

    "I was so worried," She sobs.

    Jace smirks, and after giving him a dirty look, Kat peels Patty off her, "Patty, let me introduce you to my boss, Silias."

    Silias bows, "Nice to meet you."

    Others cautiously come outside. And Silias looks around again, "Jace take your partner and make sure all Alterations are gone. Then call in the support team so we can begin to put this place back in order."

    Jace nods, and they run off, "Kat as soon the support team shows get your wounds checked until then don't move. Cade, introduce people."

    Kat sits on the porch steps as Cade begins talking and closes her eyes.
