Shira thought for a moment "Well... They are an unknown group related to the arenas. Back during that whole thing in being in Herald's memories, I heard the Arena master talking about it. I thought I would try and get some info on it but they are a really quiet group. The DWMA has been watching them but they are so quiet with their actions that we haven't been able to find a reason to go in and attack them." she explained. Ellise sighed "If he does anything weird, I have a good reason to beat him up." she said.
"i wouldn't try beating him up. He is still a demon after all, chances are, you two might end up in a battle and we really can't afford finding yet another place to live." he joked before looking back at Shira. "So, there is no useful information on them at all?" Atticus sat back in his chair and thought, "Hm, well, maybe we should go straight to the source. Is the Arena Master still alive? I ask this because, while everyone else may have been busy reliving Herald/Eric's memories, at the time I was blinded by rage." he explained. "If the Arena master is no longer living, then maybe his children, or if it comes down to it, we could always question Herald or Eric on the matter."
Shira shook her head "The Arena master is most likely alive... there would be no way of finding him though." she said "One of the ones talking was Magnus' father... so if I want any info I should probably see if Magnus knows anything." she said before eating some more
"If the Arena Master is indeed alive somewhere, trust me, I can find him. After all, I've learned a few tricks during my training." Atticus stated. "But it would be a good idea to speak with Magnus' father. Is there anyone else that you might think have some connection with the order? Anyone you suspect or seems to be shady? We need to cover all grounds." Atticus had grown more analytical as well. He is able to focus his mind and think things through rationally, which was something he lacked. "Well, until we can uncover information, for now we will just leave it at that."
Shira nodded "Yeah..." she replied as she looked at her food. "They are very dangerous though... If I'm not careful they may find out about me digging into this and try and come after me." she said. "There may be a sleeper cell in Death City already."
As Shira mentioned the possibility of her being targeted by the Order and that there is a chance that a sleeper agent has infiltrated Death City, Atticus placed his sunglasses on the table and gave her a reassuring look. "That is why, my sweet princess, you have me. I will do all the dirty work, researching, exploring, all of it. I can handle anything they have to offer." Atticus then became serious, "If there is a sleeper agent, then he or she, must be pretty close to either one of the higher ups. Meaning your father, Charlotte or you, yourself." he told her. "You three are the future of this city and it is reasonable to assume that the agent will be after one of your heads."
Shira glanced up at Atticus "I don't know anyone that could be a sleeper cell..." she said. She looked up for a moment "From what I heard in that illusion... the sleeper cell from Machinist is after the strongest meister they can find. Father is in the clear... I have you and I am pretty sure you are not a spy since you used to be Kain." she said. She shook her head "I am still looking into stuff right now as to if that spy is even here... but I am tired so I will continue this issue tomorrow." she explained with a sigh.
Atticus listened to Shira closely. The sleeper cell was after the strongest meister, she was right to eliminate both her and her father, and Charlotte is a witch, so through all the possible meister/weapon pairs that are active and incredibly powerful, there is one, that is a sleeper cell. It would be hard for anyone to uncover the agent's identity. "The strongest meister? That could be anyone, even some of our friends, perhaps even one of the death scythes." Atticus' mind was racing back and forth, going through all the pairs that he has ever met or heard about. There was at least 200 hundred of them, not to mention the ones that are currently away on missions or inactive at the moment. He wanted to compile a list and one by one check out each of the pairs, but as Shira stated she was tired, he chose to let it go. "You should go and get some sleep." he recommended. In the back of his mind, Atticus had begun the process of elimination and whether he knew it or not, one pair was always on his mind.
Shira smiled slightly at Atticus "I will probably just relax a bit before going to bed... it isn't even dark out yet and I want to spend time with you." she said. Ellise sat there quietly while eating and listening to them.
Atticus smiled, "Spending some time alone does sound rather good, besides, I am pretty tired myself. For some reason I get fatigue a lot quicker than normal. I guess it is a side-effect from my time in the other world, or maybe from my condition." he commented before noticing Ellise there, listening to the entire conversation, "You know, it is kind of weird to just sit there and listen without saying a word." he teased.
"Ah! Well if that is all, then I guess it is fine. I mean we all have to eat." he added, of course he was just being his old self and teasing Ellise a bit. "Oh yeah, before I forget. You know the kiss you said Despair gave you and the small aura that is now present around you? Well, while you can use it to call Despair, he is able to use it as a beacon and can find you anywhere in the world. So, be careful as he can show up anytime." he told her. "Now then, where would you like to go, Shira?"
"Well thanks for giving me a reason to fear sleeping at night." Ellise joked as she cleaned her dishes and put them away. Shira blinked and looked up at Atticus "Go?... Uh... I don't know exactly." she said with a small laugh.

Kishin Image(s):
Krieg really didn't say anything so he can be avoided from being discovered but it was too late. He looks at them "Well it looks like you got me." He stands up and says to Shira "Show him the file on that usb drive. We got something to show you." He looks around and asks "You guys got a computer here?"
Giving a little smile towards Ellise, Atticus would focus on the kishin or rather Krieg, who had finally decided to speak. "A computer? Well, I think Shira might have one laying around here somewhere." he suggested, not really seeming too concerned about the file they had found, despite showing interest only a few minutes ago. "If not, then we can just use this..." holding up his left arm, Atticus revealed what seemed to be a normal flesh and bone arm, but after a few seconds, the skin would melt away, revealing a newly made and highly advanced mechanical arm. While he was away, he had it completely remodeled and fitted with really advanced technology, one such thing is a usb port where he is able to take information and project it holographically through his arm. Opening up a small pieces of metal, Atticus revealed the port to Shira. "Go on."
