"So they're being forced to?" Jaya asked, looking between the group in thought. "Knowing ONI it's probably by using some technology in their brains, but I wouldn't rule out another supernatural helping them. Maybe someone with the power to control minds?" She kept her arms folded as she considered the possibilities. Pedestrians walked by as if nothing had happened, but she chose to ignore that.

"Diana's right though, how will we know where the next attack is? I don't have any students who can see the future."

Gavin thought about this for a moment.
"Hm, there seems to be no way of knowing, you're right. I was hoping I'd be able to beat the police to the next incident but for all we know, the next attack could happen on the other side of the globe."

He then paused and took his phone out, scrolling through the series of articles reporting each attack.
"Look, if what Temperance said was true, then there must be a pattern. Because if these aren't random attacks orchestrated by radicalized supers, then it's definitely ONI considering what Silas showed us. And that will mean it's coordinated, meaning a pattern should emerge. Maybe by looking through the location of each attack.. we could discern the whereabouts of the next. It's a long shot but it's something right?"

"It is worth a shot." Diana mused, slipping her sunglasses back over her bright blue eyes. "At least we have a baseline of what ONI is trying to do." Diana leaned back against a fire hydrant, waving her hand as she spoke.

"They want big and bold, an impact that draws a person's eye along with the media. They'd strike somewhere with a lot of people, or with important people. Something tells me ONI is willing to sacrifice a few political pawns to reach checkmate. Are there any big events coming up?"

"I don't really follow the news, been busy lately..." Jaya sighed, looking between them. "You don't think they'll ever... target the Academy... Do you?" Her worry swelled up inside her, almost making her dizzy. She couldn't imagine anything happening to her academy or to the Knights. It was her father's vision she had worked hard to realise.

"I don't know... It'd be too bold for them." Her eyes flicked aside. "If they have limits, that is."

"No, they wouldn't. The PR would be massive and everyone would definitely start to ask questions. Terrorist attacks starting up just two months after the academy was opened, ending in the academy being blown to bits? Too much of a coincidence." Gavin once again asserted. He then motioned everyone to follow as he crossed the road to the academy's car park. He looked up at the large building, examining it before his eyes settled on a teenage boy at one of the windows. The boy seemed to be staring down at them, unmoving and expressionless. Not really being phased by this, Gavin turned back to the four.

"I'm gonna head back home, do some research into this thing. Maybe I can dig something up, like a pattern." He walked over to his bike, mounted it, kicked off the stand and thrust down the ignition.
"I'll keep you guys posted. In the mean time, stay safe and uh... Jaya? Try to stay indoors. Everyone knows who you are and I didn't like the way they were looking at you back there. Just a warning." He then gave everyone a nod and rode off.

After Gavin had left Diana turned to Jaya, a careful look on her face. "I think I have an idea to draw them out if you're game Jaya." She shoved her sunglasses up off her face again, Temperance and Avalon turning to her. 

"Throw a gala for the academy, invite a few big political and economical players. ONI wants big and bold right? Give it to them." She smirked slightly, crossing her arms over her chest. 

"It can go two ways, ONI makes a move but its on our turf so we can diffuse the situation. Or they dont make a move and the gala goes smoothly, it could get us some good publicity and some political and economical allies. We need as many people as we can get in our corner." 

Then Diana frowned slightly, obviously displeased with something that just occured to her. "Although to make it even more of a lure you'd have to bring along the Academy's most prominent supernaturals, or the most powerful ones you know. ONI might find the chance of knocking out the big bads all in one swoop tempting enough to try something."

"Oh," Jaya was taken aback by Gavin's concern, nodding to him as he rode off atop his bike. Taking a moment to think, she then realised what Diana was saying to her. "Use the Academy as bait?" She raised her eyebrows. "That's... too dangerous. I can't risk the lives of my students just to tempt ONI." A sigh escaped her lips.

"There must be another way..."

THE NEXT DAY...

Gavin hadn't managed to discern much from when he got back to his apartment last night. He was frustrated, there hadn't seemed to be any connection whatsoever. The attacks seemed random which would mean that no one was behind it. But Gavin wasn't willing to accept that, he knew someone had a hand in all of this, and he was determined to find out one way or another.

As the traffic light flashed green, he revved his motorbike and continued to ride towards the Knight's Initiative. Maybe ONI was just that good at making it all look natural. Making it all look real. Or maybe.. ONI weren't behind it after all. Maybe these really were radicalized supernaturals.
No.
Hundreds of attacks within the last few months are no coincidence, especially at the same time as when the supernaturals started to gain more prominence in society. That, coupled with what Silas had shown them all the more proved that ONI had a hand in all of this, and he wouldn't let go of that belief until he had it firmly proven.


He swerved inwards to the left, taking a sharp turn and continuing down the street that the Academy was located on. However, what he saw ahead caused him to force himself to slow down.
The building was surrounded, there were police officers everywhere, The entire car park was a mess of police cars and there were officers walking in and out of the building. Some of the students were lined up outside and being thoroughly searched by officers while others were being questioned.
"What the hell..."
As he neared the academy, his eyes searched frantically for anyone he knew; Diana, Jaya, Temperance or Avalon, anyone.

Diana was standing in the parking lot with a frown on her face, watching the spectacle. Her shades were over her eyes but the look in them was most likely murderous. She was thankful she had left Temperance and Avalon back at Silas's. 

She tilted her head when she heard the roar of a motorbike, catching sight of Gavin. "Oi, hot head. Over here."

"Gavin, Diana." Jaya stormed out from the crowd, pushing past an officer to reach her friends. "Is this to do with you? They won't tell me anything. They can't possibly think one of my students is behind these attacks?" She was clearly furious but doing her best to keep it in.

"I've already been questioned, but these poor kids. This kind of attention is the last thing they want. If they can't feel safe here then we've failed..."

"It could be because of what happened yesterday." Gavin said.
"But I don't get it, they already had the body at the scene. That crime scene was over and done with.. unless..."
He took out his phone and tapped on its news application. Scrolling once, he stopped.
"There was another attack... and it was very very close." He said in a low voice.

"We didn't do anything Jaya." Diana snapped out, slipping her sunglasses off. There was an icy rage reflected in her blue eyes as she turned from her niece, looking to Gavin instead. "Where was the attack?"

Jaya silenced herself from accusing the others, regretting that she would ever think it would be their fault. Instead she crossed her arms protectively as usual, half-biting her nails as she waited to hear where the attack had been.

"An explosion at a grocery store, literally just two blocks from here." Gavin said as he analysed the article.
"But why-"
He then caught sight of the police forcefully leading a student out of the school. He instantly recognised the teen as the boy who was watching them from the window the day before. The boy showed little resistance, an angered expression on his face as he was lead to one of the police cars. Gavin could see that he had already been handcuffed. Another officer emerged from the academy and followed close behind, in his hand a plastic bag containing some sort of mechanical device Gavin couldn't make out from the distance at which he was situated.
"They just arrested one of the students.." He said as he kicked down his bike stand, dismounted and jogged over to the police car.

Diana cursed, kicking the ground with the toe of her beat up combat boots. "How much you wanna bet that evidence is either planted or we have a spy in the Academy's midst?" 

Diana was tempted to walk over to the officer and demand answers, but she knew she would never get anything more than a sneer and a jab towards her species.

Jaya followed Gavin's gaze to the boy, unfortunately being unable to recognize him. Since the numbers of the academy had grown there was no way she could know every student. Nevertheless she would not let ONI take one away, and so she followed Gavin to the police car.

"What's the meaning of this?" Jaya demanded, starting to get impatient with the way her students were being treated.

"Hey!" Gavin called out to them, his voice stern.
"Leave him alone!" He said as he approched the police officer. The officer turned around to look at him, but then shifted his gaze towards Jaya after hearing her shouts as well. Recognising her, he completely ignored Gavin and took a piece of paper out of a file resting on top of the car. He handed it to Jaya.
"This search warrant enables us, by law, to carry out investigations within any suspect premises provided we have enough evidence. The evidence being surviving CCTV footage from the store that your student destroyed a few blocks away."
He then handed her another paper.
"This arrest warrant enables us, by law, to capture and detain any individual suspected of committing the crime provided we have enough evidence. The evidence being the storage of home made explosive devices we found under the kid's bed."
The police officer said this with a stoic expression, his voice almost monotonous.

"We will be back tomorrow for another search. As of now, all courses are to cease until further notice and students are to he sent home." He continued as he walked over to the driver side of the car.

Jaya stared blankly at the officer and his papers, saying nothing at all. Her face held back a wave of emotions, the clenching of her teeth visible somewhat. They were arresting one of her students and she could do nothing about it. ONI had the authority here, not her. Despite what she thought they were still in control.

A tear threatened it's way out of her, but she sniffed it back and simply nodded. Her eyes fixated on the floor.

"The children are allowed to remain within the dormitories of the academy. However education is to cease as ordered, searches will continue tomorrow. Have a good evening." That was all the police officer said before he got into his car and drove off. Slowly, the others began to leave as well. Some shooting second glances at Jaya as they passed by.

Gavin turned to both of them, a frown on his face. He first addressed Diana.
"Temperance, Avalon and any others you know. Round up everyone and any supernatural you know who are not in the Knight's Initiative and send them to Silas's house. And then meet me outside his apartment at midnight outside his mansion." He looked at Jaya, noticing she was upset. He then looked back at Diana.
"We're gonna take a look at this ourselves, whether it's within our legal jurisdiction or not." He said as he started to walk to his motorbike.
