The other man continues.
“Now lad, why would I need to do that?”
The boy in the first cage cries for help, but as soon as he does so, the first masked man responds with the rod.

D: “Well you’re not being very considerate. And what’s up with those ugly masks? Looks like I’ll have to teach you weaklings a lesson.”
Daniel leaps forward and tries to electrocute the mask (cause they’re metal)
The masked man recoils back in pain from the shock… yet still, he’s unwilling to remove the mask. Meanwhile, the man with the rod seems unfazed as well.
…
“Daniel, you ought to know who I am if you’re here, right?”
D: “…Samuel. Why are you doing this? They aren’t a threat, let them go.”
D: “Shit. My contract forbids me from harming Samuel if possible so I’m screwed if it’s actually him.”
D: bluffing “I already alerted Pierre about this location so I’ll ask you once nicely to come back with me. I won’t even mention this to him or your father if you don’t struggle.”
“See, that’s the funny thing, Daniel. You won’t be mentioning this to anyone, regardless of whether I struggle or not. Attempt to tell anyone about this, and not only will you lose your job and reputation… well, you don’t want to mess with the Rogers family. For you and your sister’s sake.”
"So why don’t you just scram, creep? Unless, of course, you’d like for me to save you a seat here.*
…
The masked man laughs. It’s an undeniably disturbing cackle. Nothing is right about this.
D: “Blackmailing me? Dirty tricks for dirty people I guess. Pierre’s already on his way so good luck dealing with him.”
Daniel turns and waves nonchalantly
D: “Oh, and money’s not a problem for me. I’m only doing this for my sister’s sake and yours. Count yourself lucky I’m not a monster like you.”
As the masked man with the rod watches you leave, the second masked man pulls out something. Before you’ve time to react, you realize – you’ve been shot in the leg.
“Sorry, but I can’t let this happen. Second time’s the charm!”
“Hmmm? What was that noise?”
Gar awakes from his slumber, having imagined a gunshot. He’s still standing.
(shuri you’re way off lol, reread)
“Huh. Must be a dream. Annoying things.”
Looks at the nearby shop. Huh.
Daniel curses in pain.
D: “You fucker, what do you have to gain from this? Do you enjoy watching others suffer for your sadistic pleasure?”
Daniel stands there and tries to staunch the blood flowing out.
Walks into the sweet shop cuz why not.
Laura loves sweet things. Seriously. Should buy her favourite cheese flavoured biscuits.
(since when are cheese biscuits sweet )
(but actually tho, they are really good)
The masked man that recognized you responds.
“It’s simple. You shall pay for your life’s greatest sin, the biggest mistake of your life. Accepting that pledge.”
…
The boy in the second cage begins to scream obscenities, as the boy in the first cage sobs.
“This one will be difficult, huh? You seem to recognize 'em… what’s his deal?”, the second masked man asks.
'…"
Daniel just stares at him, trying to think of a way out.
A bead of sweat rolls down his neck
(Daniel is starting to go into SHOCK haha get it ok sorry bad pun bye)
“Hey shopkeeper. How’s it going? The repairs done already?”
He takes a cheesecake and some cheese biscuits. Huh. Places it and prepares to pay for them.
The second masked man grunts.
“You there, Thing Three? Spit it out. What’s your fucking deal.”
The first masked man approaches, before you even get the time to respond, and strikes you hard across the back with the rod.
Gar turns to leave.
At least no one. Knows about my powers yet. Too good at hiding it. Best it stay that way.
Running around, Francis heads to thr government building again.
“The imperial castle! The symbol of my nemesis, the Everest of my journey! I will conquer you and put my flag on the rooftop!”
He twists the rapier in his hands and draws his iron gun with another hand, filling it with his iron bullets.
It is time to storm the stronghold.
He heads to the main entrance.
A handful of mortal guards see you charging at the tower. Pierre is currently on one of the top floors.
…
“Uhh… sir? The Rodgers Center is closed for business, due to recent events.”
