Econ entered the bank, and asked to take out all the money he had been saving up for quite a while. $30,000. Then, he hurriedly left the bank.

Kane let Melony seat herself first then sat down beside her and watched her work the computer. "I don't like libraries, they are too noisy." he muttered at one time, while the computer was logging in. "Check out Inferno, Vlad and Ouroboros or whatever his name was. Also someone named Rex Mallard. Shouldn't take too long, we just need enough information so that we know what the hell has been going on while I was gone."

"Alright, Jack." Melony flogged into the computer and immediately opened up the command prompt. "Firewall down... site restrictions down... These security systems are for children. Opening up Fire Fox." She began looking up all of the people named on the google search engine. "Alright, there are so many sites here that it might take a while to find the right ones. Do you like comic books?"

"No I don't." Kane said, then pointed at a link on the screen. "That one seems interesting. Let's check out that one!"
He used the keyboard to press into the link before Melony had time to press it herself. "This computer-business is actually pretty easy. Let's see... Inferno turned bad, bla bla, disappeared, bla bla. Hey, there's something about me here!" Kane exclaimed, then read on. "A supervillain only known as Kane is suspected being behind the devestating attack on Zero's mansion earlier this week, authorities have..."
Kane stopped, his voice half-open. Another flash, this one showing him how he had worked to take down someone named Zero. He heard Melony talking to him, but couldn't figure out the words. He opened his eyes again. He was lying on the floor for some reason, but he remembered so much. Not everything, of course, but much much more. He remembered what the Supervillain-war had been about, but unfortunately the people it involved still didn't mean anything to him. He knew nothing about them. Why was that? Why couldn't he just remember what had happened to him before. He heard Melony speaking to him again, and he sat up. A ringing in his ears blocked out anything she said, and he shook his head. Eventually the ringing stopped, people were watching by now. Standing by, but not approaching to see if everything was alright. Kane looked over at Melony.
"I think that's enough memories for today." he said, his voice low and hoarse.

"Alright, Jack." She logged out of the computer and took his arm. "Are you all right?" The concern in her voice was easily readable.

"Alright." She looked out at the assembled people around them. "He's OK, sorry for making such a disturbance before. We'll be leaving now, so you can go back to whatever you were doing before."
The people slowly filed away, the two moved out of the library. He had another memory, girl. miasma whispered to her. It is the only thing that makes sense. But let Jack Kane tell you in his own time.
"I will, little shadow." She whispered under her breath. They moved down the street to Kane's apartment.

He let her sit down and poured himself a glass of water, trying to figure out how to break the news to her. He had learned alot about himself, what he was, what he was capable of. Oh, he was no hero. He were a mass-murderer, if he had to give it a good-sounding name. Not a terrorist, as he had never intented to strike terror in anyone. But he was responsible for thousands of deaths. He wasn't going to put it like that for the girl though, as her shadow would surely try to end him if he did. He was not sure if it would succeed, but he didn't wish to take the chance.
"Alright, it's storytime. Don't interrupt until I'm finished, please." he said, choosing his words carefully. "I go by the name Kane. I am a grifter, assassin, thief, mercenary. I am a supervillain, sortof. I used to have the ability to heal myself from almost any injury, but it seems that power is lost. I was a major player in the supervillain-war, I launched the rockets at Zeros mansion, I took part in bombings in centrum of the city. I am a master of martial arts, I am incredibly strong, fast and durable. Since then I have had several operations done on me, reinforcing my body. I am a supersoldier, so to speak. Turns out the war changed me, as Zero was evil ((Kane doesn't know the truth) and I for some reason tried to save everything alongside other villains. I don't remember more about the others. I am not a hero, I am not a villain. I am not what I was, and I have been given the chance to start over again with this amnesia. The name Ouroboros sounds familiar, but I don't know why. I have a feeling he is up to something very bad, but that is my gut talking."
He stopped. "And that's all I can remember."

"Then, Jack." Melony sat down next to him, lightly holding his arm, "You have your own life to lead. You have a new life that you choose, no one else."
"Jack, you spoke of Ouroboros, and so did Miasma. From everything that you told me, you don't want him to win. And we know that he is a villain... But still..." She paused for a second. "Jack, what are you hiding from me?"

"Alien technology? What?" said Inferno raising an eyebrow. "This may yet be useful, but the only person that I know of with the power to do it is Rex Mallard, the Admiral, Machine God, whatever he's called nowadays...if he's still alive that is. He very well may be a robot now."

- Yes, you heard me right. Most of the arsenal we had back in the Union is based on that race's technology. Armor, transport, several weapons. Compared to Roswell's ship, the one that crashed in Tunguska was a leviathan. From what I learned, they were fleeing from a war, but were shooted down near Earth. But that's not important. What is important that their technology is far more advanced then ours. I believe that some devices are able to manipulate things such as gravity or even time. I don't think that handing such technology to Mallard would be wise.- Vlad opened a drawer and took out a small metal box with small green pills.
- Detoxicants. Drink one. We're leaving in half an hour. Get down to the armory and get geared up. There may be some nasty surprises when we land.

The dropship was ready to take off. Vlad, Seth and Inferno were all armed and armored and sat in the cockpit of the aircraft. It had been modified with modern equipment and extra seats. Michelle, the PMC's pilot was making last minute check ups.
- Ok, the hold is large enough for storing what we'll salvage. If needed, we'll make several flights. The craft's stealthy. It runs silently and is undetectable to any radar.
- Buckle up, we're taking off.- said the pilot.

"Hiding? What? Oh that..." Kane felt kinda uneasy. "Well, nothing much. I told you everything, what you don't know is the results of my actions. I used to be very effective at what I did, I ended a few lives back in my days."

It was a rainy day in New Constantinople. People did not venture outside unless they had to. The rain did not bother Edmund to much, his wings were like those of bats. The skin that streched between the digits did not get heavy with water like feathers would.
Edmund was gliding aimlessly. With the rain there were no updrafts or other airpockets he could use. But the weather brought plenty of wind. And if Edmund maneuvered carefully he could ride the winds that whipped the rain around the buildings of the city.
Not that this aimless gliding did him much good. Below him the traffic moved in great, gleaming wet streams. Umbrellas lined the sidewalks. The chances of him learning anything of Inferno or Mr. X were practically nonexistant, especially from the air. Edmund banked around a building and noticed he was gliding in the direction of one of the city's parks.
"I might as well take a break and land." Edmund mused.
And so he landed in a big tree, perched himself on a large branch capable of holding his weight and shook himself dry.
For a while he just sat there, thinking to himself what he was doing. Just going aimlessly into the city might be one of the worst ideas he had ever had.
And as that thought passed through his mind, Edmund heard something below him. He leaned slighty forward to see what was making the noise. Below passed a woman with a closed umbrella. It would appear that she used the canopy of the trees as her rainshield for now.
From what Edmund could see the woman had red hair, but from above he could not make much of her. It appeared she was not in a particular good mood. Somehow she seemed familiar, but Edmund could not say why.
Suddenly a man clutching a knife sprang out of the nearby bushes. The situation needed little explaination, this was a mugging or even worse.
"Now my pretty, I'll have the contents of that bag of yours. Or I'll cut you up." The man said pointing at the woman's bag.
Edmund would loathe himself if he did not intervene. He dropped out of the tree and landed with a heavy thud on the gravel path. His wings semi-spread and his fangs bared, Edmund let out a throaty growl. The mugger's eyes widened in fear and it seemed he wet himself. He fled, dropping his knife, to frightened to actually scream.
The woman turned, to see what caused the mugger to flee. And as she saw Edmund she let out an earsplitting, high-pitched scream. She was already holding a can of peperspray, Edmund had not seen her carry it or get it, and she emptied the can in Edmund's face.
Edmund could do nothing. The peppersray did not bother him much, but the shrill scream of the woman was bordering painfull. When the can was empty and the woman stopped screaming, Edmund shook his head. To both get the liquid out of his face and to dull the ringing in his ears.
"Holy Father, you shriek like a banshee." Edmund rumbled. His ears still rang a bit.
The expression on the woman turned from fear to surprise and confusion, though there was still a little fear left. "Did you just swear by the pope?" She asked in a more bearable volume. The woman appeared to be in her early twenties and the more Edmund looked at her the more familiar she seemed.
Carefully unplugging one of his ears with one of his claws, Edmund waited an instant before he answered. "So I did. What of it?"
"I knew a total jerk once who did that frequently." The woman responded with a bitter expression on her face. "Uh, thanks for, uh, saving me back there."
"No problem." Edmund shook his head and the last ringing out of his ears. "That bordered on painfull. Hehehe."
"What's so funny?" The woman asked.
"I vaguely recall a girl who could shriek like you. What a coincidence."
"Yeah, sorry 'bout the spray."
"It realy doesn't bother me that much. Just keep the volume down." Edmund dismissed. "I've barely felt it."
The woman looked over Edmund, her face barely contained the disbelief she appearantly felt. "No, no, no it can't be. You cannot be him."
"Is something wrong?" Edmund asked.
"Tell me, what is July 11th?" she asked.
"What?"
"July 11th, what's the first thing that pops into your mind."
"Uh, St Benedict's day?" Edmund replied truthfully.
"No, no it can't. But you must be him. The way you talk, your stance, everything." she said with disbelief. "You're not called Edmund, are you?" she was clearly hoping he would say no.
"I am afraid I am." Edmund replied.
"EDMUND MOORE, HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE IN THIS TOWN AGAIN!" she screamed as she slapped him across his face.

"A woman just slapped the gargoyle?" thought Ouroboros as he approached them. The gargoyle noticed him, as did the woman. He raised the woman up in the air with his telekinesis and then said to the stone demon in his chilling voice, "Do not attempt to attack me. If you do, she dies. Now, you met me at the mall before, remember? As I recall you didn't do much. Now I believe I should give you the courtesy of letting you know who I am. My name means nothing, but I represent does. I am Ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail. And your name?"

"Jack..."
He isn't telling you everything. Don't-
"Jack, I don't care." She said, putting her head on his shoulder.
With all due respect, I don't think that this is the same man that you went to the library w- Miasma protested.
"Miasma, it's my life." She cut it off. "I will choose how to live it," She looked up at Kane, "and the people that I live it with. Jack Kane, you are not the same man as you were before. Would you have even bothered leaving me alive after I learned who you are, where you lived? Would you have helped me like you have?" She curled up next to him. "Would you have even cared?"
... Bah, if you won't listen to reason, then I won't give it to you. Go ahead, live your own life, I won't be your shoulder when it collapses. In Melony's psyche, Miasma moved to a corner and looked away from her, acting like a spurned five year old.

As the woman slapped Edmund he realised why she had seemed so familiar. She was Mona, Amber's best friend. As she spoke the truth, his last name was Moore. Even though it took the slap and her screaming to realise it.
Mona, while suspended in the air and quite scared, was clutching her hand. Slapping Edmund was just as productive as slapping a marble lion. You only hurt your hand with it and Mona obviously did. And even though Edmund and Mona never liked eachother, she was the only link to his past he had. And this Ourobouros was dissolving his selfcontroll.
Edmund's eyes started glowing, something they did when he got angry. What passed for his lips drew back and revealed his predatory teeth.
"I am Edmund Moore and you Will release that woman!" Edmund growled.
Already the demonic presence was strugling to be released and to be allowed to disembowl this leather clad man.

Melony would have agreed, if she was awake. Her exhaustion finally overcame her all at once, so she didn't hear him. And Miasma honestly didn't want to do anything but sit in its corner and sulk for a few years. The only response Kane received was Melony shifting slightly.
