The bunker's emergency alarm broke the silence.
WOOP. WOOP. WOOP.
Seraph's hand went to her sidearm before she was fully awake. Draven was already on his feet, golden energy forming around his fists.
"Report!" Seraph shouted.
One of Rook's scouts rushed into the room, breathing hard. "Captain, we've got a breach. Someone's bypassed the outer security."
"How many?"
"Just one. But..." The scout hesitated. "You need to see this yourself."
They rushed through the tunnels that made up their underground base. More fighters came out from small side tunnels, their weapons ready.
The breach point was at the main entrance. It was a blast door that should have been impossible to get through without explosives.
The door was intact.
But on the other side of it, visible through the security cameras, was someone in black.
It was Silas.
"How did she..." Draven started.
"She phased through," Seraph said quietly, watching the monitor. Silas stood still, making no aggressive moves.
