An explosion of noise and light and smoke filled the WDA office. A man in green stood with two cats, curly blond hair messily stuffed under his hat. His usual smile replaced with lips pursed tight together.

"Ah. Edmund Drake. He's my teacher." Jameson said to Jonathan. "What brings you here?"

"WHAT. DID YOU. DO?!" The man roared out in pure rage.

"Now, calm down Edmund..."

"YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN?! THE PROFESSOR IS THE MOST POWERFUL MAN ON THE PLANET. HE HAS HIS FINGERS IN WORLD GOVERNMENTS, THE BLACK MARKET, INTERNATIONAL CRIME! HE'S INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING! He's a man but also an ideal! The guardian of criminals the world over and your IDIOTS killed his RIGHT HAND MAN?!"

"Yeah.. I know.. It's not good. I was just going to talk to them."

"Not good? Listen. So far as I can tell the Bakers are some group of detectives, right? Yet for years they were never able to take down this Reshvul moron. Sounds to me like we just showed your silly little cult up at it's own game."

"Hahahahahah HAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHA You STUPID LITTLE WHELP!" Drake said pushing his fingers back into his hair laughing uproariously. Not a joyful laugh, but one tinged with madness and despair. The kind of laugh that sent chills down a man's spine. "We could have killed Reshvul at any time! We could kill any of them! If only it were so simple!" His tone suddenly went completely stoic. All emotion vanished from his face.

"What happens now?"

"Nothing?" Oliver said eating a cake. "We killed Reshvul, the professor comes we'll kill him too."

Edmund eyed the boy with a sad smile. "Look at Jameson."

Oliver turned to face Jameson, however the usually jovial mentor was solemn and silent. His expression was grave and his smile was heartbroken and tragic. "No.." He said shaking his head.

".....How big is this guy..?" Oliver said, realization dawning.

Jameson wandered to the far side of the room pulling out a chalk board. "The one who gave Johnson the info on our whereabouts and methods? The Professor. The one who got our agency shut down by the government officials? The Professor. Remember when we were completely defeated at the warehouse by him? He's been manipulating our foes for years.. and that was when we weren't even a threat.."

"Now..?"

"You killed his second in command."

"...... I see." Oliver said suddenly understanding the full gravity of the situation.

Jonathan rubbed his eyes after the explosion that filled the WDA office. He looked at the strange man that had appeared before them curiously, he wondered who he was. Jonathan was about to ask Jameson whom he was but he had already explained it before Jonathan could ask about the strange man. Jonathan was about to introduce himself to the man but what happened next definetly suprised Jonathan, when the man started yelling at them in rage Jonathan almost jumped out of his skin, he wasn't expecting the person in front of him to just start yelling out of nowhere.

Jonathan continued listening over the reprecussions of the case that him and Oliver had been on together. Apparently by killing the snake man they had pissed off someone very big and extremely powerful. Jonathan was a tad shocked at this and began to wonder why he had gotten involved in something so big. However there wasn't any turning back so Jonathan just had to suck it up and own up to his decision.

When the blond haired man started laughing Jonathan felt a bit unnerved by it. He seemed extremely crazy and he was wondering whether or not the man in front of him was entirely sane. After the what could only be described as insane cackiling faded his voice was empty of all emotion, almost mechanic. Jonathan was about to side with Oliver at stopping whoever this professor was when Edmund told them to look at Jameson. Now while Jonathan hadn't really gotten to know Jameson but unless he was really easy to break Jonathan doubted his reaction was good. Especialyl when combined with information given from Edmund. Oliver went on to ask just how big that this professor person was at which point Jameson explained just how much stuff he had done. Jonathan was in a similar spirit to Oliver when he realized that from the sounds of it this Professor wasn't just some run of the mill criminal.

The mood of the entire room was rather sombre. After killing anyones second in command most times would lead to attempted revenge. Seeing as they killed such a powerful man's second in command revenge seemed extremely likely. Jonathan deffinetly was shocked that himself and Oliver had managed to kill such a powerful man's second in command basically painting a big target on both their backs. Jonathan despite still anxious about the whole situation finally got up nerve. "So then, what happens now?" Jonathan's voice was steady and calm. He knew that whatever was going to happen was deffinetly not a good outcome.

"What happens now indeed..."

"....So... what." Oliver said, as if realizing it for the first time.

"Oh come off it! You can't be that dense to not see the situation you're in!" Edmund said, clearly frustrated.

"I see it but.. So what?" Oliver said cracking into a grin. "So. What."

"Oliver this is serious." Jameson said with a sigh.

"SO WHAT!" Oliver said slamming his hands down on the table. "Out numbered, out gunned, out manned, out powered, out financed, AND SO WHAT?!"

Jameson stared at him in confusion. "He's cracked."

"No!" Oliver said with a broad grin. "YOU'VE cracked! YEAH! you guys are right! By all logic we're fucked! He'll kick our asses! He's pissed, he's dangerous! But SO WHAT. You know who was dangerous? THE WO SHING. They had us outnumbered a thousand to one. One itty bitty lone boy with a single eye and a limp and not a friend in the world. AND LOOK WHO'S LEFT STANDING!"

"...Oliver it's not the same.."

"LOOK AT JOHNSON! An elite team of assassins on a fucking submarine, all against a tiny little dusty office in the corner of the city that no one even notices when they walk by BUT WHERE'S THAT SUB NOW? The bottom of the damned ocean! SO WHAT! WHERE'S KURO? WHERE'S RESHVUL? A HUNDRED MEN HAVE TRIED THEIR HAND AT PUTTING DOWN THIS TINY LITTLE DUSTY OLD OFFICE, AND A HUNDRED MEN HAVE FAILED. SO WHAT IF ONE MORE TRIES." Oliver said forcefully.

"You did this to me Jameson... you made me believe in something other than myself and you. You showed me a family. You showed me a life better than being scared and alone. Yeah, we pissed off the professor. Why is he pissed? BECAUSE HE'S CORNERED. He feels our hot breath on his neck and like an animal he's lashing out. Hell yeah he's dangerous. Hell yeah he's scary. But dangerous is what we do, and scary our normal. The fact of the matter is, we've got this asshole running scared, and you guys want to retreat?"

"I say bring it on. Let's make it one hundred and one. Let's show the whole world why you don't mess with that tiny corner office, with those kids having a good time, with Hyakuji, with US."

Jonathan sat down as Oliver began to question the situation that they were in. Jonathan himself began to wonder where Oliver was coming from, in all honesty to him it seemed like the opinion of a crazy person. However he knew that Oliver was much more intelligent then that so he tried to think of what he could be talking about. As Oliver bought up more of what he assumed were personal experiences of his Jonathan began to see some more sense in what he was saying, despite not being there at any of the times or really understanding completely what he was talking about Jonathan got the general idea of what Oliver was saying.

When Oliver finished his (extremely badass) speech Jonathan thought for a few moments before standing up and walking beside Oliver. "I agree with him, I know that I havn't been here for any of these confrontations that you've had and I doubt I've experienced anything like the odds that we are against, however who cares even if we are outmatched one thousand to one. That is still a chance and I'm more then willing to take that chance. It may seem futile, hell it may seem like there is no chance in hell that we can do anything against this professor, but theres no point sitting here waiting for death or whatever else that the professor has planned."

"One thing I know for sure though is I'm not going to run from this, god knows I've done enough running for my life, even though every single part of my brain is telling me to run from this to I'm not going to do it. I don't know about anyone else here but I'm going to stand and fight against whoever this Professor is, regardless of how powerful he is or how much influence he holds."
Jonathan said as he was caught up in the speech that Oliver had given. While he could attempt to run away from all this again, Jonathan not only doubted that he would get chased after as well for his part in Reshvul's death but he was already being hunted to begin with.

Besides he had found a place that seemed good enough and he would have to be beaten down before he was seperated from it. After all he was tired of been scared and alone always on the run. He was ready to stand up and fight against those who seeked to hunt him down and kill him, if he was killed then so be it but at least he would go down fighting. That's not to say that Jonathan was planning on dying in the more then likely confrontation. He was prepared for whatever this Professor would throw at him. "So regardless of how stupid this may be. I'm with you." Jonathan said as he turned to face Oliver.

Jameson grinned at the two boy's. "Man.." He said shaking his head, "When did you suddenly get to be such a talkative guy..?" Jameson said to Oliver as he planted his hands on his sides. He turned from Oliver to the other kid and extended his hand towards him. "And you, I like you. You're gonna fit in nicely.." He said with a smile.

Edmund Drake stared at them all for a moment before letting out a long, weary sigh. No fighting it, he supposed. And so he decided on a different course. "Yes, yes.. very moving.. I can't say i'm not pleased by your reply but I still think you fail to understand the gravity of it all so I will afford you all one more tiny insight.. A case. I am going to hire your agency. I will send you somewhere, once there I want you to find the current location.. of this man." He said writing down an address and a name. "Bring me a photograph of his home and him."

".. Alright." Oliver said folding his arms over his chest. "We owe you that much.." He added as he turned to Jameson.

Edmund handed them a card. "All of you hold onto it.."

Once all three had it, there was a blinding light and a thunder-crack of noise and suddenly they were standing in the streets of America. "Ugh. I hate using his teleports. I think I'm deaf." Oliver said fussing with his ear.

Jonathan smirked as Jameson grinned suddenly. He wasn't exactly sure how they were going to react to both his and Oliver's speeches. However they were recieved rather well so Jonathan was pleased with how it turned out. When Jameson extended his hand towards Jonathan he took it and shook his hand. It was nice that someone had expected him to fit in nicely at the WDA. He was really looking forward to working there.

Jonathan then turned to the blond person who had arrived to see his reaction. While it wasn't on the same level as Jameson's he had decided that it wasn't worth arguing over. That was also good in it's own way, while Jonathan knew that whatever the professor had install for them would probably be big it was annoying being told just how big it would be. What was strange though was the blond haired man gave them a case to do, Jonathan wasn't sure why they were doing a case when they were in a currently rather bad situation but he was also excited considering that he would be able to tag along and see how it turned out.

Jonathan grabbed hold onto the card that the blond haired man presented and suddenly a blinding light and loud thunder crack occured. When the light faded Jonathan rubbed his eyes and let his hearing adjust back to normal only to find out that they were in the middle of a street somewhere. He wasn't sure where they were but first order of buisness was to discover where they were going and who were they taking a photo of. "Okay then, I don't know where we are or how we are going to get back so let's get onto the case then." Jonathan said confidently as he looked around the streets. From the various signs they were at least in some country with english as it's major language. "So. Were are we going and who are we taking photos of?" Jonathan said as he turned around to face Jameson and Oliver waiting to see what they had planned.

"Apparently we're in Haven City, Pennsylvania in America.." Jameson said checking his phones GPS. He turned to the card with the address and plugged it into the GPS giving them walking directions. "Not far from our destination, either." He said turning to the two boys. "Come along then!" He said cheerfully guiding them through the winding streets of the city.

"Haven City, I've heard about this place. Apparently there was a big outbreak among the cities on the coast a hundred years back and so they moved from the city and settled here. The plague died down and things went to normal except now there was a new city. A safe haven from the disease, Haven City." He gestured out around him. "Wild disorganized buildings thrown up practically over night. The city so a mess of rushed planning and construction. Reportedly the most haunted city in America and cursed by a native american buffalo spirit."

"It's a city full of weird stuff, like Hyakuji." Oliver said as he turned from Jameson. "I always heard about it growing up. Superheroes and evil villains. Another one of the 'big five' right there with London and Hyakuji in cities you probably want to avoid if you've any hope to lead a normal life." He said with a heavy sigh.

Sounded like a pain in the ass to him. Being in Hyakuji was hard enough, when he moved away he wanted it to be to a relatively normal place, not another freak town infested with ghosts and demons and wizards. But for Jameson it was probably-

"SO... COOOOOL!!! I've always wanted to check this place out!!!" Jameson said eagerly as he dashed across the sidewalk. "Oh man! That huge building is Daventry Towers! And Bel-Forest is here too! Man this is so cool!" He said happy as a giddy little fanboy. He was a fan of the big five. Rather proud to be a student of the school that sat proud as the #1 most active supernatural location on Earth.

"Oooh, interesting." Jonathan said in amazement at the city, as he followed Jameson towards his destination. As he looked around at the buildings he noticed that they were a bit ramshackle and slightly damaged. Jameson started leading them through the streets of the city and Jonathan kept near him to make sure that he didn't get lost. It would be annoying if he got lost in the middle of such a potentially large city and it would be better if it didn't occur.

"Hmm, I wonder if the haunting is real. Granted who knows but still it would be interesting to see if it was." Jonathan said before he remembered that they were here on business so they shouldn't be getting distracted. "We do have a case to take care of first though." Jonathan said just to make it apparent that he wasn't getting ditracted from the case. He didn't want to seem like he was someone who was easily distracted.

Jonathan was beginning to get curious over whom they would be taking photos off. That was the one piece of information that he was curious about that hadn't been answered yet. He was going to ask Jameson who they were going for to take photos off but he was already off looking around at the city. It semeed like he was enjoying himself in the city for all intents and purposes. Still thought even Jonathan was a bit anxious to figure out who they were taking photos off so he waited for Jameson to join back with him and Oliver. "So who exactly are we taking photos of?" Jonathan asked curiously. "I mean depending on who it is, this might not exactly be as easy as it seems." After all the person they could be taking a photo of could be some extremely secretive person or something like that. It would be good to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

Jameson turned to the boy with a broad smile. So it seemed like he was interested in this sort of stuff too? Jameson was always sad that Oliver never got more into this kind of thing. He was a person whom seemed content with staying at home and only doing what he had to in order to get by. Jameson envied his relaxed stress free way of living but at the same time he hated that about the boy.

He really should be more eager to spend his youth having fun! He was a lot like someone Jameson used to know a long time ago. A boy who'd grown up enduring so much stress... Anyhow now wasn't the time for that.

"Let's get on with it." Oliver said as he looked around, clearly not impressed by what he saw. If he let them these two would probably spend all day touring the city. But he had to get back to Hyakuji and the last time he'd used Edmund's teleportation it had sucked away twelve hours of his life. No telling how much time they had lost just coming here.

"Right.. it's right around here.." Jameson said guiding them through the streets to an old bakery. He glanced down at his phone, then to the note, then back to the bakery. "This can't be right..?" He turned to a local. "Is this where Tom Hatherford lives..?"

"Tom..? No.. He's dead." The man said before laughing and walking away.

"Well that's gonna make things... difficult." Oliver said tucking his hands into his back pockets as he turned from the walking away figure to the others. "What now..?"

Jonathan thought for a while, he was wondering what answer to the problem could be not quite grasping some of the more practical answers. They were in a bit of a predicament because they had to get the picture of a long dead man. Then it hit him, Edmund didn't say what state the person had to be in. All he said was he wanted a picture of the man's house along with a picture of the man. That made it so much more simple that Jonathan didn't understand how it passed right over his head.

As if following track another option came into his head. He was reminded of Jameson saying that it was apparrently the most haunted city in America. Jonathan mentally facepalmed at the fact that he didn't realize it sooner.

"Well, in my opinion there is two ways we could go about this." Jonathan said as he looked from Jameson to Oliver."With all respect to the body we could dig it up, Edmund did not say what state the man had to be in. He just said that he wanted a photo of the man." Jonathan said continuing on quickly so he wouldn't be interrupted. "Another possible thought is what you, yourself mentioned Jameson. You said that this was reportedly the most haunted city in America." Jonathan said as he smiled then turned around to face the building. "We may be able to find Mr Hatherford's ghost or spirit and take a photo of it." Jonathan turned back around to face the duo. He wasn't sure how possible the things he said were but he was hoping that he did a decent job of coming up with suggestions.

"Wow... you sure are quick to jump to extremes.." Jameson said to the boy grinning sheepishly. "Why not.. just.. take a picture of his tombstone...... I don't know about you but I'm not desecrating any tombs.. Digging up dead bodies isn't in my contract.."However, the other ideas were feasible. A ghost, that could be what his mentor was aiming for. But there was no way to know for sure with only the information they had right now. He sighed and turned to face the building.

"Nothing to it but to tackle it head on." He said as he looked towards the Bakery. "Lat's go in there and see if they know anything.."

~~~

"He used to run a detective office out of this building.. It was a horrible way to go. He was attacked one night. Him and his team. They got in with the wrong people it seems, and they were killed for it and their office burned down. We had to build a brand new building here. Not even a brick remained.."

"I see.. So that's why Edmund sent us here.." Oliver said as he looked around. "He died probably because of being involved with The Professor.." He said with a sigh. This was.. certainly sobering. Not only the man but his entire staff and his building..? All due to the professor..

He clenched his fingers tightly into balls as he narrowed his eyed and clenched his jaw. Rage flooded through him as he stared ahead at the wall. "Why did he bring us here..? Was this supposed to stop us?" He said pounding his fist into a wall. "All this does and makes me want to stop him more..!"

When Jonathan pointed out that he jumped to extremes and dismissed his first idea Jonathan shrugged. "Just thinking of how to get the job down effectively." While he didn't really like the idea of digging up a body himself it wasn't something he hadn't seen before. However it was decided that finding his ghost was probably the better idea, after all it did save all that hard physical labour so it would be much better to just find the ghost and take a quick photo of him.

Jonathan followed the two into the bakery. He wondered just how hard it would actually be to locate the dead guys ghost, that was if they could even do it to begin with. After all who knows if the ghost was tied down here or somewhere else, it could be tons of different places and even if it was here it would be hard to catch. Granted they just needed a photograph but it would be decently difficult anyways.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jonathan listened as the description of what happened to the man was told. It sounded rather gruesome but he could relate to it. After all he watched his family and best friend go through the same thing. However Jonathan's mind shot back to the case at hand, it was strange just how much effort went into killing the office and the building. It was like whoever did that was trying to completely wipe them off the face of the earth.

As Oliver was getting angry over being sent here Jonathan stated his opinion. "Maybe he just sent us here to make sure we knew what we were getting into." Jonathan said as he looked towards Oliver. "After all, anyone can say they can do something but seeing this shows us that we have to be extremely prepared for whatever is thrown at us." Jonathan turned back to face the rest of the store. While even the damage had made Jonathan a little anxious he wasn't going to back down, especially not after he had already declared that they were goign to stop the professor.

He turned to face both of them. "Well, should we go and find us a spirit?" He was rather excited by this, after all he had never actually seen a spirit before and it would be an interesting case to begin with. Jonathan was about to head off but decided that he should let Oliver and Jameson both decided where they would be heading. After all they were his seniors in this buisness.

The building was divided into three levels. The first was the bakery, and Jameson made short work of persuading them to let them go in deeper. The second was storage and the third was their home. He decided first they ought to look deeper into the storage level since they had mentioned strange occurances there.

The second level was fairly simply laid out. The stairwell emptied into a long straight corridor. On either side were doors, four in total. One leading to a restroom. Ghosts never haunted toilets outside of funny novels about wizards so Jameson ruled it out and split the group up. Each to enter into a room full of boxes and supplies at the same time... And maybe the ghost would reveal itself.

On the count of three all three went in, however as soon as they did all the doors slammed shut behind them and locked sealing them within the room. And within Jonathan's room a card in his pocket he didn't even know was there lit up and suddenly before him was a spectral figure of a man, standing alone. "Can you... see me..?" He said turning to the boy. "no.. I suppsoe not.. No one can see me.. no one can hear me.." He said turning away.

As soon as the door slammed shut behind him Jonathan turned and began to try and force the door open by charging into it. That didn't work though so he turned back to the room to investigate it. He saw the spectral figure floating in front of him questioning whether or not he could be seen by Jonathan. Before he had a chance to respond the spectre decided against it.

Jonathan stood there shocked, he pulled the card out from his pocket and looked at it. Well, that was just brilliant. Anyway since there was a spirit here Jonathan decided that he should try to talk to it and see how that goes.

"Wait, I can see you." Jonathan said to the spectre who had turned away from him. Jonathan had quite a few questions for the spirit but he decided to play it pateintly and see what came from his questions. "You wouldn't happen to be Mr Hatherford would you?" Jonathan asked as he continued to watch the spirit. While he didn't know how effective his shadowmancy would be against a spirit he was preparing himself in case the spirit got violent to tried to attack him. However Jonathan decided that trying to speak with the spirit was a good idea, besides it may even be the spirit that they needed to take a photo of.

"You can... YOU CAN HEAR ME?!" He said in shock as rushed over to the boy gripping his shoulders. "It's impossible.... I'm.." He glanced down at the boy's pocket and spotted the glowing object. He phased his hand through the pocket and pulled the card out which shone with a green light. "Edmund Drake.. The legendary Baker Edmund Drake sent you!" He said with a grin.

"I'm an Irregular.. Or I was... Just like you must be.. A member of the network of crime fighters that the Bakers use to help solve crimes all over the world... To think the legendary Baker himself would send someone for me.. He must have known I had something important to share!"

"Listen.. He.. The Professor.. He stole a crystal with can take away a persons power and store it... I'm not sure why he took it but with it he can steal anyone in the world's power away and keep it forever! I traced the heist back to him. I was on my way to the T.I.N. to tell you guys but they got me.."
