Remaining silent in the dark sewers as Natalia and the man who called himself 'The Scream” spoke. After hearing the mans name Johns mind was flooded with a few clear memories of watching the news one night, the man before him having been one of the main topics of discussion. He remembered hearing from the news anchor how The Scream was considered extremely dangerous being one of the few heroes still actively patrolling Kansas City, he was even number eight on Americas 'most wanted meta list'.

Realizing who he was John immediately wanted to shake his hand but resisted the urge to do so, he didn’t want to come off as some weird fan boy or something. Men like The Scream made John still have some form of hope due to the fact that somewhere out there people still were not afraid to stand up for what was right like he had become.

After Natalia apologized John shook his head, his somewhat low voice slightly echoing down the long stretch of sewer the three now pathetic trudged through. “No need to apologize. Hell, those fuckin maniac cape killers woulda gunned us all down given the chance. Oh, and you can call me uh...” John stopped for a moment, unsure of exactly what name to give them. He wasn’t even sure which name was the real him, but before he knew it he was speaking again as the words flowed naturally from his mouth “..Bronze, you can call me Bronze.”

As the group trudged through the sewers for what seemed like hours but was no more than a mere twenty minutes John finally spoke again breaking the silence that had slowly came over the group. “So Scream...I saw somethin about you on the news once....It true you can change into anything?” He asked curiosity thick in his voice, as if he'd been putting off the question as long as he could but just couldnt wait any longer.
