Grave heard D's second question and had to think long and hard... He had been so focused on the fight that he probably wouldn't have noticed a woman in the area. No one was there that fit that vague description despite it's wide range of targets. Well, there was one young woman near by... "Mika..."
The giant held his head in his hands as he fought back the memories of his past, but they came flooding into his thoughts... Grave's eyes began to tear up at the thought of those he had failed, but he would not allow his soul to be broken this easy; he was the strongest of the dead and it was thanks to his faith in himself.
A low growl began to rise from the depths of his throat, but it was quickly suppressed by clenched teeth and the limitless will of the giant.

"No," Tendou replied to the question about a woman. She took another moment to think about it, tugging on her braid again, but came up with nothing. "I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, really. You, Tenma?" She had a feeling that her twin was faking it again.
"Nope," Tenma replied, she of course, gave it no thought.
The reaction of the giant man startled both girls, though Tenma would be loath to admit it.
"Are you alright?" Tendou asked. She put her hand to her jaw to keep her own teeth from clenching up in sympathy. She worried about him. There was something about him, this air of sorrow, that made her wonder what happened to him. He died twice? He failed? Didn't he say he was killed by his best friend? What kind of life has this poor man lead? Worse than anyone in my village, worse than anyone I've ever heard of. She couldn't possibly feel bad for Tenma or herself anymore.
Tendou looked around at the rest of the room's occupants, trying to ascertain their reactions to the situation. She was relatively good at reading emotions, what did they think of this man?

Fisk turned to the larger man in the room and rosed his eyebrows. Last thing he felt from the man was threatening, but more or less wonder. Never has he ever saw someone so large act so......
"That b*****d chased most of the people out of my building." Fisk said to the pale man. "If there was anyone left, they would have been either dead or insane." He snarled at the thought of Castle finally beating him. It was obvious now that he was dead, seeing how the other in this room are dead as well. "From the way you sound, it's like you never met this woman before. The one who killed me was after my life for years. And he ended up killing himself in the process. Was any of ya'll suddenly attacked by anyone unknown?"

Grave had managed to regain his composure and relaxed once again folding his hands on the table before him. He didn't know the names of the team sent to kill him but it was no doubt by the order of the local government. At least that would be the normal procedure. So Grave's answer would be both yes and no...
Millenium was a deep rooted organization that wouldn't topple if attacked from the outside but the internal struggle gave those on the outside the needed leverage to topple the giant mafia, and Grave was just an obstacle to both sides; nothing more...
He had set in motion the destruction of everything he had helped create... Grave slowly shook his head giving off a slow steady creak.

"Sure I didn't know them," Tendou replied. "But it's kinda commonplace in my village to get attacked by a group of people you've never heard of." She looked at the rest of the group a bit sheepishly. "So I wouldn't really know if it was out of the ordinary past that."
"Umm," Tendou cleared her throat. "I hope you don't mind the change of subject, but could I ask your names?" She decided it would be best to take the first step. "I'm Tendou, and my sister over there," she pointed to her purple haired twin. "is Tenma."
Tenma looked up. From the group that surrounded them, she was curious to find out which of them would actually tell them their names.

"I don't know. I known many weapons that had names. A weapon if a weapon is something you can buy to defend or kill with, then I bought many. That is humans. But if you don't have a name, then give us somthing to call you, or if you prefer I can call you a behemoth the whole time." Fisk was feeling alittle edgy without his cigars. "As for me, my name is Wilson Fisk. Some may know me as the Kingpin."

Grave noticed the edge in Fisk's voice and recognized it's source... Bunji always had a cigarette in his lips and got quite cranky if he ran out for any length of time... So grave had gotten into the habit of keeping a few cigars in his jacket for times like these. After all if you are gonna smoke, smoke the good stuff.
Grave stood with a low metallic moan and walked over to Fisk with a packet of CX2 cigars in his left hand and his right hand was extended to shake hands with the man. Brandon Heat... Call me Grave... a sweeper from Millenium... Do you want these? If you are going to smoke you should smoke the clean stuff..."

Fisk looked up at the man and saw him extend both his left and right hand. "Well then that's a fancy nickname you have their grave." He said as he shook his hand first and then took the pack of cigars from him. He then searched his coat to find a pack of matches he kept with him, lit the cigar, and leaned back on the chair. Not the stuff I'm use to. He though, to himself. But hell they sure are doing what I need them to. His voice went to having a more professional sound to it, as he turned to the pale man in the corner. "So do you and your other personality have a name?"

After giving the Cigars to Fisk grave once again took a seat at the table and then looked at both of the twins and with a nod said, "You may call me whatever you like... but I have been called Beyond the Grave for years..."

" D " he said anwsering the mans question. " I have never met the woman who killed me, but she said she had been watching me for many years."
" This place it is not an illusion, but perhaps a different dimension."

"A weapon?" Tendou muttered out loud, looking down at the ground. She'd heard of that way of thinking before. "There are people out there that would consider Tenma and I a weapon."
Tenma tried to grab one of the cigars passed to Kingpin, but Tendou reached out and grabbed her hand by the wrist. "It's not like we share a body anymore," Tenma complained, but under Tendou's stare, she stopped her complaints.
Tendou looked up at grave after he'd given an answer to the other man, who she now knew to be called Wilson Fisk. "May I call you Brandon?" she asked.

Grave nodded in reply to Tendou's question. "You are only the second person to call me by name... and don't worry I wouldn't let a minor have a cigar..."

Tendou smiled at Brandon. She had a feeling she was going to like this man.
Tenma crossed her arms in silent defiance.

After a moment of uneasy silence Grave felt that he needed to say something... anything to break the tension. "Why are we in this room... and what do you think our captor wants?"
