Forced Withdrawals [Nox's Building]

[Hayden]

"Not all of them think you are a monster." While he wasn't technically Atharim he didn't think they were monsters -- though his training him told him otherwise. But his father didn't actually know any of these so-called monsters either. And until Nox -- he hadn't either.

"If they've already found you then no, the only thing you can do is make sure they don't trouble you. And being here is a good start. Most Atharim avoid Nox's little perimeter and his friends. It's hard to beat a guy who knows how you operate -- still has an in and who can channel. Plus he's got the whole neighborhood rigged with sensors and drones so no Atharim gets in without being clocked first."

Hayden shurgged. "To stay off their radar -- don't use your power publicly. I know you are all about using it for these fights you keep talking about -- but the moment you do, is likely the moment you get flagged in the Atharim system. They watch places where things like that happen. And I'm thinking you are gearing up to fight at the Almaz -- a place Zeke is known for. And the Atharim know of it. Nox fights there -- His videos went viral a while back. So, you've got that choice to make."
