Yo, Asim! Mad skills out there, bro! Welcome to The Seven, Dark Knight! Stoked to mentor you, man!
I'm glad to be mentored by the Founder of the Seven
Thanks, man! Us clones gotta stick together, right? You got a lot to learn from me and the rest of the team. The world needs more of our brand of justice.
Like my father before us.
Hey, now, no need to get all serious on me, dude. We're gonna have fun with this, alright? Learning to fight alongside the Seven means making friends, too. And damn, am I gonna enjoy teaching you how to kick some ass!
I hope so, because I'm hoping that your friends will teach me how to make Friends. My whole life has been training to finally settle down in one place long enough to build relationships. This should be my home now
Dang, bro! That’s some heavy stuff. But don't sweat it, we'll treat you like family. The Seven ain't just a team, we're a friggin' family.
Oh! Well, uh, we’re currently headquartered in an underground facility beneath the ruins of old London. It's a bit of a fixer-upper, but it's cozy, you know? We’ve got a great view of the city from our observatory deck. And let me tell ya, it gets pretty lit up there at night.
It sounds nice! But wasn't that area destroyed by Uranus during tge last Great war?
Yeah, yeah, you're right, man. It did get wrecked. But hey, we’re survivors, right? We make due with what we got. Plus, the underground facility provides us protection from any other threats out there. So, that's where we call home. But enough about the place, what do you say we go grab a drink and get to know each other better, huh?
I'd love to, if the facility can be pressurized properly after my visit.
No worries, my dude. We'll make sure everything's ship shape before you arrive.
Let's go then. turns to leave, pulls open the door, and is stabbed in the chest by someone behind him.
WHAT THE HELL?! WHO THE HELL IS THAT? grabs the attacker, pins them to the wall Nobody messes with my crew!
jumps and catches the attacker in my arms. the Attackers Companion Goblin smiles under its hood Don't hurt him. He doesn't understand that he's not allowed to attack first.
Whoa, whoa, hold up, hold up. Alright, alright, calm down. What's going on here? Who the hell is this guy?
I am new here. Can you please take me to meet Dr. Kingston Stryker? I don't understand why people think me attacking you first was a bad thing. the Goblin under the hood giggles
Okay, now hold on just a second, my dude. You've got some explaining to do. What do you mean you don't understand why attacking first was a bad thing? Did someone put you up to this? Who's this Dr. Kingston Stryker you're talking about?
I am trying to understand you people. everyone told me you would just attack first, so it was natural to do so. you probably think me rude because I didn't introduce myself. My name is Dabi.
You're Dabi? Alright, listen up, Dabi. We don't attack first 'round here unless absolutely necessary. It's just how we roll. And what do you mean everyone told you to attack first? Who the hell would give you advice like that?
My mother taught me to always strike at my enemies when they least expect it. I thought you were my enemy.
I get it, Dabi. Your mom raised you right. But look, we may seem like enemies to you right now, but we're not. We're your allies, your mentors.
Then someone has lied to me
Alright, Dabi. We're gonna get to the bottom of this. Whoever lied to you will face the consequences.
smiles widely at you Thank you. I knew it was either you or the Palamino family. I was hoping it was just them...
Hold up, Dabi. Before we go any further, let's get you patched up. leads Dabi to the medical room and tends to his injuries
I rip the bandage from the wound and set fire to it, healing the wound immediately Sorry about that. old habit. chuckles
No worries, Dabi. Just be careful with that fire trick of yours. Let's focus on getting to the bottom of this mess, shall we?
