"You found what?"
Hermes sat forward, brows furrowed, as Aphrodite quietly showed a flash drive on the screen of the laptop where they're having the video call
Ymir and Hermes were gathered in the tent they shared. The laptop was Ymir's and it was encrypted to make sure nobody could hijack it.
Ymir also requested an employee who had the power to make a protective dome over something to place a barrier— which was not only impenetrable, but also soundproof.
"There are reports." Aphrodite said, voice low, nearly monotone. "Small-scale uprisings. Localized. Years back. All in Haven City."
He showed the files, still wearing his SHIFT cadet disguise. "Civilian families who lost homes. People injured because of hero-villain crossfires. A few started petitions. A few tried to sue the government. A few… vanished."
Hermes and Ymir exchanged a glance.
"Disappeared?" Ymir clarified.
