Vindicate City RPG

[Warren Hawke]

It was late at night as Warren stood anxiously in his luxurious office in the center of the city, exactly the place nobody would look for a criminal empire amongst regular offices. He walked towards his desk and took a Cuban cigar from a box, cut the end off and continued to light it.
He breathed out a stream of smoke as he glanced out across the city.

A quaint knock on the door caught his attention, a young black woman walked into his office,
“Sir, she is here.” She said nervously.

“Then what the fuck are you waiting for?” he said loudly as he took another draw of the cigar, “Send her in.” He told the woman as she exited the room.

[Hikari Ashida]

Hikari entered the large office, her emotionless face looked Warren Hawke up and down. She assessed the threat level of the scenario and found it all to be safe as she walked further into the room, her eyes were now looking directly into Warren’s she did not blink at all and she did not breathe.

“Mister Hawke I presume?” she said with a strong Japanese accent, although she was initially a robot the soul that was attached to her was of Japanese descent thus making her accent the way it was.

Warren smiled as he took a seat on a large leather seat behind a desk as he signalled with his hand for Hikari to take a seat.
“That’s me.” He said confidently as he placed the cigar onto an ashtray, “And if I’m right you’re the answer to all of my prayers in this city.” He said with a smug grin on his face.

“Recently a few idiots in masks have appeared in the town causing all sorts of trouble for me.” He picked up the cigar and looked to Hikari, “I hear you specialise in dealing with ‘powered’ individuals”

[Hikari Ashida]

Hikari nodded “You have heard correctly, in the past year I have successfully dealt with over 20 heroes around the globe.” She said with a narcissistic grin on her face as she approached the desk, “just point me in the direction and I’d be happy to shoot, for a price obviously.”
Hikari told him as her hand morphed into a cannon as some electric blue sparks shot out of its nozzle, “That would not be a problem, would it sir?”

[Warren Hawke]

Warren smiled.
“Of course not, I’m sure we could come to some sort of financial arrangement.” He said as he smiled at her built in weapon in admiration.
He got to his feet and walked to the glass wall which looked across the window, “Now you’re going to send them a message, I don’t want them dead.”

[Hikari Ashida]

Hikari twitched her head as she interupted Warren.
“Pardon? You do not want them dead?” she asked, “Then you have indeed made a mistake, I am an assassin, I search and destroy I do not give warnings, I commit executions.”
She said as her hand turned into the human shape again again.

[Warren Hawke]

“All in due course Hikari,” Warren said as he turned to the robotic girl again, “I want one of them, brought to me to let them know exactly who is the boss. After that if they screw up over again then we’ll not hold back.”
He said with a sinister smile as he picked up his cigar and took another drag.
“Feel free to think over my offer upstairs, I’ve arranged for the penthouse to be free tonight. We will begin our work in the morning. Now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got a meeting with 4 Brazilian models who are avidly awaiting my company downstairs.”
He said as he stubbed the cigar out on the ashtray as he walked towards the door opening it for Hikari to exit.

[Hikari Ashida]

Hikari nodded at the idea to think it over as she walked to the door, a female in a black skirt suit led Hikari into a huge suite.

Hikari felt the wireless internet connection as she downloaded news reports from around the world as she stood in statis in the centre of the room as she recharged her eternal battery.

[Warren Hawke]

Warren smiled happily at the thought of his plan coming together as he walked to his personal bar.

He entered to be greeted by the models as he walked behind the bar and opened a bottle of champagne; needless to say Warren wasn’t going to get any sleep this particular night.

[Warren Hawke]

The night had passed quickly for warren, due to his ability to heal he did not need sleep, he spent the night partying with the models until 6 am, from then he had a shower and cleaned himself up, shaved and began his day as normal, driving round the city collecting money making deals and making sure people knew he was the boss.

It was early evening when Warren returned to his office as he held some paperwork, he wore a plain white shirt that was tucked into his black trousers, his fine Italian leather shoe skimmed across the floor as he walked to his desk. He placed his index finger onto a small scanning device. It bleeped and his receptionist spoke,
“Yes Mr. Hawke”

“Send in the cyborg.” He said as a holographic image appeared in the middle of the room of the two heroes who had been causing him trouble, Apogee and Paladin. He couldn’t help but smile knowing the vigilantes were out of their depth.
