"When do they want to meet us?" Wayne asked while everyone was still stunned.
"Well... Today, actually," Duggar said while scratching the back of his head.
Everyone grew more nervous, but they ultimately knew this could boost their position of becoming heroes.
"Well, I don't think they want to be waiting for us forever, so I think it's best to just get this over with," Duggar said as he got everyone out the door.
Everyone was reluctant at first but went along with heavy feet.
After a few moments, the group reached the building where Daylight was outside, awaiting their arrival.
"Ahh, I see you finally made it, glad we didn't have to wait long," Daylight said as the group approached.
"Yeah, I can introduce you to the team if you'd like," Duggar said in an energetic voice.
"Pft it's no need, I met them all before... except this one," Daylight said as he gazed at Wayne.
"Ohh, that's Nightfall, the one I told you about before during the meeting."
"Ahh, I see you got smart and recruited him, good job, now everyone follow me, we're heading to the top floor," Daylight said as he headed inside towards the elevator.
Everyone followed with no quarrel and walked into the elevator.
After a few moments, they reached the top floor, still following behind Daylight.
"Alright, guys, I'm going to have you wait here while I inform everyone that you guys are here."
Daylight pointed to the middle of the room in the lobby to a couple of couches to sit on, and the ceiling let the natural sunlight slightly hit that area.
After the group got to the couch, Daylight left to head towards Simon's room, where everyone was chatting about the news that was brought to them from Duggar.
"They're here," Daylight said as he opened the door to the room where everyone stopped mid-conversation.
"Well, let's get this going," Beast said as he wanted to get this over with.
"Is everyone even here?" Daylight asked as he felt like someone was missing.
"Abyssal won't be attending, he has other matters he has to attend to," Ava said as everyone looked confused about what could be more important.
"If that's the case, then everyone is here, let's go," Simon said as he walked past Daylight out of the door.
Everyone left the room shortly after to meet up with Duggar's team.
"I'm glad you all can make it under such short notice, as you can see, we are working overtime to get these beasts handled, and with the information you brought, that might be a little troublesome. So this is how it's going to go, we're going in the subjugation room over there, and we'll call you one by one to hear all of your recounts," Simon said as he approached the group.
"So, whose Duggar?" Simon finally asked, looking around the group.
"Me, sir!" Duggar said as he jumped up from the chair, giving a salute.
"Alright, we won't need to hear from you, so you're free to go, or if you wish to stay and wait for the rest of the group to finish, that's up to you."
"I wish to stay, sir."
"Very well, who wants to be first?"
No one said a word until Nina raised her hand a second later.
"Alright, follow me, everyone should be in the room already," Simon said as he turned around to head towards the room.
Everyone watched as Simon and Nina walked away to the room in the distance, and once the door was shut, everyone looked at each other with looks of surprise.
"Was that really him, in the flesh?" Mystic asked the group as he had to ensure he didn't see things.
"T-that was Simon..." Moon said as she and her brother gave each other nervous stares.
Wayne knew exactly who that was, and he was not immune to the shock of seeing him in person. Simon was the strongest hero who ever existed, and nobody really knew the limits to his powers, every time the forums thought he didn't have any more tricks up his sleeve, he showed more power.
"Yeah, it was, it just shows how serious the situation is," Duggar said with a face of nonbelief.
The team eventually got lost in their thoughts until they saw Nina walking back with a nervous smile on her face.
"Oh my, how was it?" Moon asked as she saw her impression.
"It's okay, it's just.... the pressure of everyone there... they even have Ava's assistant in there."
Everyone looked stunned, and Wayne looked at everyone.
"Who is she? Is she someone special?" Wayne asked, he didn't know what was so special about her assistant.
'Well, I guess you don't really pay attention to that kind of stuff, but she has the power to know if you're lying or not," Nina said as she was trying to explain to Wayne.
"I guess I'll just get it over with," Mystic said as he hopped out of his chair and headed towards the room.
A few hours passed, and Mystic, Sun, Rocky, and Akuma were interviewed.
"Hey Wayne, do you mind if I go before you? I don't want to be last," Moon asked with a nervous smile on her face.
"Sure, that's fine," Wayne said as he wanted to delay as long as possible, trying to avoid the inevitable of meeting his father.
After Moon finished the interview, Wayne stood up and headed towards the room, everyone's eyes fell on him as he entered, and where one set of eyes looked harder than the others.
