"Don't mention it." Erin said cooly as Lucian had thanked her for fixing his arm. Keeping her eyes and ears out as they proceeded down the hallways, peering around every corner they could until they found the offices they were in need of. Erin had patiently and silently pressed her ear to the office door's and waited. Making sure no one else was inside before entering, and then proceeded to clear the room out before the other entered. She knew if she entered first, and anything were to happen, it'd be enough of a distraction for the other two to possibly get somewhere safe.

Once they entered, the three of them began looking through varies folders, binders, shelves, everything. Erin was busy looking through anything she could find at all. But all she was finding were random letters, however cryptic they were, they weren't what she needed to find. But as she continued to look through a large, black binder, a few things slowly began to stick out to her. It was simple enough, a few names here and there. Certain terms in the letters and documents. Things she had heard her entire life, but Erin just shrugged it off as typical anti-super views. As for the names well, they were pretty common, right? So, there were just commonalities, no concrete information yet.

At least, that was until Lucian called for the other two to take a look at what he found on one of the computers. Erin rolled her eyes, as she didn't want to stop her search just yet, but after exchanging glances with Markus, she sighed, putting the folder down and walked over to Lucian. Erin gave him a small shrug, before turning to look at the computer monitor. Her eyes steadily scanning over the screen as she read everything. Trying to see if she could pick anything out specifically. But everything she read was common and usual bullshit that you'd see in these forms of documentation. And then it happened. Erin's eyes locked onto the company's name, and she felt herself freeze in place. Her heart felt like it plumetted to her stomach. It suddenly became hard for her to breathe, and her was no longer in full control of her body. Her muscles tightened up, her back locked up, and her eyes were glued to the screen as her jaw hung loosely and her eyes transfixed. Aegis Corporation. Those words hit her like a ton of bricks.

Erin didn't know how long she had been standing, frozen in place before she felt arms wrap around her and pull her to the side, a familiar voice trying to garner her attention. But it all sounded muddled out. As if she was submerged under war. Close, but yet so distant. Erin finally blinked once more, finding herself able to breathe again as she instictivley stepped back a few steps. Combing her fingers through her hair, Erin looked back at them, hands still trembling as she looked at the boys, "We...We need to go. Now. Like, fuck all of this. We need to take that USB stick, and get the fuck out of here." Erin rambled, pacing back and forth as she did. "I will explain why, just, we need to get out of here, now. It's not safe." Erin turned back towards the door, unsheathing both of her remaining daggers now and peered outside of the door, waiting for the other two to finally get what they needed, and leave.

Markus had cautiously followed the other two down the halls, keeping towards the back of the group as the other two took the lead. Markus ducked into the room after Erin had scouted it out, closing the door softly behind them, before he began looking for anything they could find. He looked over as Erin was busily searching through shelves and binders, clearly finding at least something that seemingly caught her eye as she was transfixed for a few moments before moving onto the next. He shrug his shoulders, and went back to work looking through a few filing cabinets.

He scanned over basic documents and papers that he came across, nothing particular standing out to him through his searches. After a few minutes, Markus thought it was an entire bust, all things considered. None of them had brought anything to their attention, and he was about ready to suggest looking at another office, before Lucian spoke up. His attention was immediately given to Lucian, placing back the documents in the file-drawer, Markus walked over to Lucian, as did Erin.

With furrowed brows, Markus looked to the monitor, his eyes scanning over everything until he looked at the name. Pausing for a few moments. Markus could have sworn he heard at least maybe mentions or even whispers and rumors about Aegis. But he didn't know that it was some sort of corporation. Normally he'd shrug it off as nothing, but if it was buried in files, especially with everything they already knew, it couldn't have been good. Looking to Erin to see if she had a better idea of it, caused his stomach to drop.

Seeing the look on her face, her eyes un-moving from the screen. Markus gently placed one of his hands on her shoulder, "C'mon, what's up?" Markus said softly. Nothing. Not even a flinch. Markus looked back at Lucian for a moment, before turning back to Erin, "C'mon, it's not funny. What is it?" Markus questioned once more, before moving her off to the side and away from the monitor. "If you know something, you need to say it now. Just breathe, alright? Breathe.." he said reassuringly.

After a few more minutes, Erin seemed to snap out of it, and back away. But not before breaking into a panicked ramble. Which, Markus immediately took of note. Pausing for a moment before looking at Lucian. If there was anything about Erin, that he trusted more than her loyalty, was her fear. As long as he knew Erin, there was next to nothing that scared her. She could look fear itself in the eyes and laugh. Hell, she did countless times. So, the fact that whatever she knew about this Aegis Corporation, immediately didn't sit right with Markus. He looked back towards Lucian, "We need to listen to her. If there's one thing I know, she doesn't react like that for nothing. We need to go, now." Markus re-affermed Erin's previous statement.

Thankfully, they were all on agreement, however reluctant. Putting everything they would back where it belonged, and high-tailed it out of there. Thankfully, their escape was easier than entering the building. Which, also didn't exactly sit right with Markus, but the three of them, after a few detours to make sure no one was following them, eventually arrived back at the apartment. Once they were all back inside, and making sure no one else was in the apartment, Markus turned to look at Erin, "Okay, you need to tell us what you know. Why was it, that seeing that name, shook you like it did. We need to know what we're up again, 'Rin-" "It's my parents, Markus!" Erin retorted almost immediately. The tone in her voice was clearly pained, and came out as more of a choke than an abled tone.

Markus was taken aback by the sudden revelation. Markus knew he wasn't exactly informed about Erin's past and family. But this, wasn't what he was expecting to hear. Markus sat down in one of the chairs, his weight sinking into it as there was a soft creak. His eyes were glued to the ground, his mind trying to wrap around what he was just told.
