"It's an anarchy symbol, sir. Standard A-in-a-circle. Ronnie's an anarchist, makes sense he'd spread it around where he goes, use it as a pin for his little gang of meta thugs. If it is his gang."

It's such a generic symbol Aaron forgot to look into it. He's not going to admit it to Mat though.

"Well if you think it's unimportant I'll trust your judgement. You are the one investigating it."

He'd shift his weight.

"And why do you feel the cloner is the boss? Didn't you say there were all petty criminals? It seems like quite a jump from vandalism."

"One hell of a jump, I agree."

In honesty, unless there's someone hanging out in the shadows directing all this, to him only Ronnie or the bomb lady make sense as who's leading it all. "He has the widest variety of criminal contacts, has the most experience, and overall seems the most likely to put together a gang of the three we know anything about. Not to mention, an anarchist as strong as him seems unlikely to take somebody else's orders, and when I talked briefly to him in our first encounter, he showed the kind of contempt for life it takes to pull things like their recent activities. But that's making the assumption that the ringleader's anybody we know about; he could be just hired muscle like Victor."

Hm...

"I don't like that nothing at all came up searching for the masked woman. When I searched through records of Imperial agents, there were some women in the ranks who had similar powers, but no exact matches; no results at all on a more general search. Even if the Empire's the wrong tree to bark up, there's probably something deeper going on than four meta thugs going around causing trouble."

"I agree. There probably is more going on. I'm not sure about Ronnie being the leader, but that could be my own experiences biasing me. I will say this though, no matter what they say, their actions show that they all have the contempt for life that it takes to pull things like this."

"It made more sense before I said it. But I guess he doesn't seem like much of a planner, from his file."

Still possible, but...

"I might need to see if I can get anything out of Erika. I learned some things about her, things I could maybe use to turn her against the others."

But was it right to exploit someone's pain so?

...If it kept any more people from dying, any more families from being shattered, sure. He can live with it.

"Oh?"

He seemed interested in that.

"Erika worked as a legal aid until last year, when her son, Joseph, was murdered by anti-metahuman activists led by one Ralph Bennett. None of the killers got anything more than five years, and Bennett himself didn't have anything pinned on him. She disappeared until she turned up in that hospital attack."

He sighs. "I feel like an asshole even thinking about this, but she lost her child, and her allies just tried to murder a bunch of children. I can reach her with it. Make her aware of what happened. Maybe I can get her to see some sense, help us, at least give us something we can use."

What she did was inexcusable, but he'd read her file. She wasn't evil at heart; she was in pain.

His face is tense as he stares at Aaron with a clenched jaw.

Oh.

Oh.

"...I'm sorry, sir. All I meant was I would tell her what they tried to do."

His eyes narrowed as his fists both clenched.

"It's your case."

And with that Mathew would slam the door of his office. He wanted to be alone.

"Sir, I-!"

The door slams in his face, and there's not much point talking to Mat like this. Not after that. Respect the man's privacy, just like Aaron'd want in his place.

What the hell were you thinking, Aaron? You fucking idiot. You knew Eve. You knew what happened.

You could've at least shown a bit of basic tact.

Aaron stands there, mute, for a bit, then sighs and walks off. He has a case, after all. People to protect.
