Haven City

"Sounds like a good plan" Keith said saluting Frank "Sir"

Frank gave a salute back to Keith. "Got a new assignment for you, after the incident with the Symbiotes the Special Corps got a lot of publicity and so the Commandant is expanding our force from on division to two divisions. So I'm putting you in command of their training, we need to get the new raw recruits caught up and quick."

"Alright, when do they arrive?" Keith asked

"Two days." Frank said. "We're also getting the first shipments of M82 Advanced Combat Rifles and M290-A2 SAWs so we'll need to get both the recruits and Marines up to speed on the new weapons."

"Not a problem" Keith said "So we folding in these rookies with the new Spec. Corps recruits?"

"No. The current training class if too far ahead, we'll be starting a new class." Frank said.

"Alright" Keith said

Frank nodded. "Well I'll leave you to get these recruits into shape. They're slacking off." He said.

"Not for long" Keith said turning to hollar at the men to pick up the pace.

Frank headed back into the command center.

"Tell you what, I'll think about it", Arthur said, standing up.

Ashleigh smiled, "Well, look at that, I have powers of changing a no to a maybe."

"Smart mouth", Arthur smiled at her before heading to leave.

"Sir...we've gotten reports of someone watching the warehouse down near the port."
"It's him." Narville said standing up and walking to the window of the building they were in. He looked seeing Talbot Tower reaching up to the sky a few blocks over.
"Who sir?"
"Corporal Miller." Narville said. "I'm sure you've been watching the recent news reports, the US Marines are after him."
"Yes...I did see that, but why would he watch our facilities?"
"Because...I'm the one that got his rank...among other things taken from him." Narville said. "Call General Frank Miller of the US Marines...I think I can strike up a deal here."
"Yes sir. Right away." The agent said walking out.

James was walking towards the warehouse near the docks, letting the Symbiote come over him. He lept up onto the roof and looked down seeing several CIA agents and plenty of weapons. He stared down at them as the symbiote unlocked the memories of his unit being killed around him...
God damn it! Where is that evac Miller?!
They're everywhere! I runnin' low!!
Incoming fire! Contact left!
We're not getting out are we?...We're gonna die here aren't we James?
James stood in the middle of the warehouse covered in blood and he looked around seeing men all around him dead, some torn to shreds, others with large stab wounds in their body. He noticed hundreds of bullet casings on the ground. He looked around, he didn't remember leaping down into the warehouse and slaughtering the agents inside. He looked up hearing sirens blaring in the distance and he ran out of the warehouse and webbing off to a rooftop.

Frank sat in his office at the Amphibious base going over the list of names for officers for the second division being formed when Narville entered his officer.
"Lieutenant General Miller." Narville said. Frank looked up at Narville then stood up.
"Agent Narville...I heard you wished to speak with me." Frank said.
"Yes, I'm sure, no I know you know about the Symbitoe known as Wraith."
"Yes, I'm handling it."
"Well I have a solution...he seems to be targeting CIA operations and locations with CIA presence. Particularly areas where I am it seems. I'll be leading a convoy from our command center near the docks out of the city, we have a good inkling that he'll be attacking the convoy. Your men can assist and ambush him."
"Gonna be heard to ambush a symbiote, but we'll do it."

James was heading out to meet up with Jannelle.

Jannelle headed out to the resteraunt to meet James.

Ashleigh grinned widely and went to follow him before noticing a corridor leading off to her right and immediately ducked down it before Arthur had a chance to notice her disappearance. The term 'babysitting' usually was applied to children, and Ashleigh shook her head, that yes she was behaving like a kid, but it didn't mean she had to be treated like one.

It was like one of Keith's obstacle courses, trying to work her way through stealth and she wasn't able to get very far without some kind of disguise which she found in the form of workers cleaning the cells. She grabbed one of the aprons and looked at herself as it only fell to her knees. She looked like a beginner then.

She wasn't allowed to get close to Hunter's cell but she could see it in front of her down the hallway as she cleaned the floor. Hunter's eye were fixed on her.

"Well...well Ashleigh Tanner, you have some guts after all."
"Oh, we've gone from you calling me nasty names to you refering to me by my actual name, that's a step up. What do I owe this honour? Is it because I placed nice linen on your bed yesterday?"

The cleaner near Ashleigh looked over, "You shouldn't speak to the prisoners."
"I'm alright, its just words, uh Maria," she replied checking the name tag of the worker.
"You might be new, but its a lesson to remember, some are insane criminals that would spin you the most clever-ish stories."

Maria hopped up to grab her mop from the cleaning stand, leaving Ashleigh for five minutes. Her head raised to look at Hunter.
"Who contracted you to kill me?"
"Who? Would you believe me if I told you it was a machine that did?"
"Yes, actually. Was his name Ledger?"
"You're wasting your valuable time, that cleaner will be back," Hunter said slyly.
"Alright, so why am I listed?"

Hunter raised an eyebrow and tsked a bit before answering, purposely making the time run short.
"The Tanners created the first experimental batch of the immortality drug using it on their machines to determine if they would die. Then they realised there was only one other way of doing it, using it on themselves. The drug worked but it made them infertile. This was two hundred years ago, give or take."
"But then..."
"You were given to them for experimental purposes, by your mother. You were given extra powers through blood transfusions."
"What was I meant for 'experimental purposes'?"
"With the Tanners advancement in the medical field, they have discovered a way of creating immortal children with superhuman qualities. They plan for you to have thousands of these before you ever die, if you ever do."

Ashleigh fled from the cells, dropping her sponge and tearing off her apron. On her way out she slammed into a guard who stood with Maria, after her cover was blown. She was escorted to Keith outside where she hang her head low to avoid his eyes.

"Found this one sneaking around the cells. Heard she's in your care, might want to put her on a leash."

James was outside of the restaurant waiting for Jannelle.

"Hey" Jannelle smiled walking up to him

James smiled at her getting off the wall having been leaning on it. "Hey."

"Was hoping I'd beat you here" Jannelle said kissing him on the cheek.

James smiled kissing her on the cheek. "I'm fast."

"Not all the time" Jannelle smirked heading in

Keith sighed shaking his head.

James smirked following her in.
