1- A delicate matter

Three persons are in front of a door in Underground Atlanta, a man arrives toward them

Seeing the youngster is still in some kind of introspective mood, Mycroft just knocks on the door with bare knuckles.

"Hello? Is there anybody in?", he inquires.

I approach them. "Hello. Is everything all right?" I try to seem like a random passerby.

"Hello, good man. We are looking for a friend of ours. Do you perhaps know who lives here and whether they're home?", Mycroft responds to the stranger.

Oh! Do you know what kind of place this is? I thought it was all shops down here. Gwen gives the passersby her best smile

"I'm sorry, I don't know who lives here. You folks just looked like you could use some help." I try to respond to Gwen's smile, although it seems a little forced.

Suddenly the door opens within with incredible speed, Mycroft, who was half turn get grab by some clawed hands disappears in the darkness of the house and the door is shut rapidly. The entire scene did not last more than two seconds and Mycroft has disappears.

Mycroft! Gwen yells and kicks the door, preventing it from closing completely.
She draws a wand and gives Wayne a panicked look

"What the hell was that?!" I shout. Quick as a flash there's a knife in my hand.

Other reactions in front of the closed door ?

What do you do ?

I shake off my shock and begin to kick at the door, trying to force it open.

From behind the door you hear a voice.

Go away, this is a neutral ground I cannot hurt you go away I will release your friend in half an hour if you do not go further. Just enjoy your wait here !

"Neutral ground? Like Switzerland?" Eric exclaims incredulously. He lowers his knife and turns to Gwen. "Just who are you people, and what's going on?"

I return the question, why are you here ?

Don't hide behind accords you just violated, by taking Mycroft against his will. The courts nor the white council will accept that for a second. Release him at once!
Gwen has planet her feet securely in front of the door. While she waits for a response she is gathering power. The fun-loving girl is nowhere to be seen, instead is a redheaded fury is getting ready to defend the neutral grounds.

So be it, I was able to escape the white council thus far. I would kill you but I'm afraid it will not give me enough time to flee, so here is the deal you stay put an hour and I release your foolish friend.

If not I do not have anything to loose and I will kill him and yall. What do you say to this ?

Eric looks at Gwen and says "Look lady, I don't know who you and your friend are, but a friend of mine is somehow mixed up in all this. Please tell me what's going on."

Who are you? She calls to the door
To Eric she whipsers. I have no clue, but I intend to find out
