It was late at night. It was a time that ensured privacy, away from the prying eyes and eavesdropping ears of the public. But conversely, it was the most dangerous time, opening the window to powered individuals to covertly carry out their actions, track and attack one another. Zephyr remained in his powered form for he was wary of every human and passerby. He needed to tread cautiously, always vigilant and aware. Nobody could blame him especially after the last ambush of their meeting.

Senri had gone on an overseas trip for his job, thus explaining his long absence from Destiny City. But he had come to a few surprises.. some that were pleasant, others that were unpleasant. The new teams, the arrival of the knights, the creation of the dark court, there were certainly alot to take in. My, oh my. The last senshi meeting had been a great deal of help when it came to information despite its ending.

He leaned casually against the railing of the bridge, overlooking a pond in one of Destiny city's parks. There was a large moon but not quite a full moon in the sky, providing a bright light to wash over him.

He reached out his hand for the open sky, almost as if he could grasp what he wanted. "To be protected by Flora and Queen Serenity in the late battle," Zephyr smiled a grim smile, "how I've fallen." It was ironic that Ares words came back to him at a particular time. Was he weak after all?

"Have I made the wrong choice?" In his past two years, Zephyr never thought that he had regretted his actions. Whether they were right or wrong, he had always looked forward.

There had been a time when Princess Ares roamed the streets, converting and speaking with all the senshi she met. It was when the Dark Mirror Court was young, when it was just her, Gaia, Requiem, and Leto. Now Leto and Requiem were eternal senshi, and they had a burgeoning army. But it wasn't enough. It was never enough. Ares could not rest until every single White Moon senshi had seen the error of their ways. So many of them expected her to be angry with them, but she wasn't. They made her sad. She watched them make the same mistakes that she had, believe the same lies. The only thing that brought her comfort was the fact that they would one day learn the truth and join her.

Though it was difficult to leave the throne room where she collected energy, Ares had found that taking periodic breaks was good for her mental state. She loved mirrorspace, but it was good to remember what the world looked like too. It was with that in mind that she slipped through her own mirrors and emerged through a mirror on a playground in a DC park. The swell of Chaotic parallel energy that buffeted out with her would have alerted any senshi in the area to her presence, but she didn't have to look very far to find her first.

Leaning against a railing, Ares recognized a senshi she had once tried to convince to come to her side. Time had passed. Now he stood as he had once stood. It took her a moment to remember the boy's name, but she did recall his sphere. The wind senshi. Zephyr, was it? Yes, Zephyr.

Heel clicks echoed as she crossed toward the boy, her staff strapped across her back. She leaned forward on the railing beside him, close enough so that their arms touched. For a moment, Ares said nothing. She could catch him if he tried to run. For now, she was more curious as to how his opinion had changed in the time since they had last seen each other.

"Zephyr," she said, eyes locked on the pond. "It has been awhile she we have had the opportunity to speak. How have these months treated you?"

Zephyr recognized a strong power signature coming towards him.. his fingers tightening in response. He recognized it from the last battle. Queen Ares was not to be trifled with lightly. And Zephyr wasn't the type to let overconfidence spur him into reckless action. But when Ares showed no indication that she would battle with him, he relaxed and let his gaze slide downwards to glance at her. If she wanted him dead, he would have already been a corpse. The gap between their powers, between a senshi and queen, was far too wide to bridge. "Ares." He returned with a dry smile. Why was she here? Coincidence? Or otherwise? His mind tried to rapidly calculate the possibilities. But which one..?

It was a mixture of ambivalent feelings. He knew that she had defected from their side but he still remembered her as a senshi from the Dark Mirror Court. He wasn't the type to let sentiments get in the way but..

It was strange that her calm manner also had Zephyr responding in a similar manner. "It has been a long time since we've personally met. However, I recall seeing you recently, your unexpected visit with your new friends were quite a surprise." He was referring to her ambush along with the negaverse at their last senshi meeting. In other circumstances, he might have thanked her. The senshi meeting, although profitable in information, had been tedious, marked by the usual disorganization and disagreements of senshi.

"The past few months have been a bit troubling." He wished that he could say otherwise.. and to confide in an enemy was hardly the safest thing to do. But Zephyr didn't need a friend right now who would only attempt to assuage his ego and pretty things up. If Zephyr talked to anybody, Ares was by far, the most formidable. He agreed to something that he never thought that he would agree to. "You were right all those months ago."
