Marcus Branston, secretly known as the Dark Knight of Chicago, sat at the large and immensely powerful "Knightcomputer". Marcus rolled to the left, beginning to type at another computer, then rolling back to the middle continuing to type at that one, "Sanza bring the data online, I need you to run it through and calculate the coordinates we've discovered", [Of course sir, and sir, you have an important date in your log book today]. Marcus raised an eyebrow, not taking his eyes off the terminal, [It's the Chicago Gala, at the old Theater], "I need to work, and Duty calls", [Sir, wouldn't it be wise to go]. Marcus looked at the small terminal monitor Sanza's logo sat on, "Explain", [You've been very secluded in recent years, and as Your father suggested, maintaining the barrier between Dark Knight and Marcus Branston in the Public eye's view will help keep your identity secret]. Marcus exhaled, sitting back he did see the truth in Sanza's words, however it'd been a long time since he'd made a formal public outing.
Marcus then rolled to the right on his chair, typing and searching up the event, "Sanza prep my formal Attire", [The Victorian suit sir?], "Don't be absurd, the normal suit". Marcus searched up, leaning close to the monitor as he read, "Alright, several legions of news reporters (as always), Many of Chicago's wealthy and finest, some outside investors traveling to attend the even, and, strangely, a Californian Government official". Marcus rolled back to the middle terminal, "Sanza Search up the guy from California, not everyday Chicago has someone out of nowhere from a west coast state traveling unexpected". [Processing....Connor Morales, San Andres Secretary of Government policy, worked there for about 6 years, and so far is a large supporter of the City Superhero 'Guardian', however recently has risen to be 'Anti - Dark Knight]. Marcus sighed, "Wonderful, pull up an image feed", [Yes sir] as soon as he requested it, a picture of Connor Morales popped up on Marcus' terminal, causing him to raise an eyebrow.
[Is something wrong sir?], Marcus paused for a second, as a bit of realization hit him, "Not at all Sanza, is my suit ready?", [Yes sir]. Marcus stood up, walking from the Knightcomputer he stepped onto the elevator, turning around to face The Domain. "Sir, how do you expect to handle all of the Media prior to your return to the public eye?", Marcus rubbed his chin, "As all, Charismatic Rich, Technologically advanced Philanthropists do. Take it in stride". With the closing line, the Elevator closed, lifting Marcus up to the upper levels of the Domain.
Downtown Chicago, Chicago Arts Theatre
Connor Morales peered out the window of his vehicle, as the driver pulled up on the curved driveway infront of the Chicago Theatre. Connor was surprised, and marveled at how wondrous the structure was, all of the drastic gothic like architecture. As the car pulled up infront of the Red Carpet, Connor opened the door, stepping out, he was partly blinded by a large amount of camera flashing. Connor gave a wave as he walked down the carpet, "Mr Morales, are you here to discuss the Dark Knight Issue", "Mr Morales, is your Visit here on subject of Chicago's Economics?" the reporters shouted at him. Connor reached the end of the carpet, a shorter man in a suit walked up to him, "Mr Morales, it's nice that you've made it". Connor smiled and shook his hand, "Always willing to get out of the west coast for a change".
Connor's attention was drawn to a stylish black car which pulled up along the driveway, as the reporters focused on the currently attending celebrities, one of them looked to the car in shock. "The Hell? It's Marcus branston!" he yelled, snapping pictures of Marcus, as the other reporters quickly turned and started to bombard the man. COnnor peered over to look at the man as he exited his vehicle, "Who's that?", the man chuckled, "you must be new, that is Marcus Branston, Billionaire Technology Philanthropist of Chicago". Connor eyed the man, but fixed the collar of his jacket as Marcus approached walking down the Carpet. "Mr Branston" Connor said catching Marcus' attention, Marcus walked off the Carpet and shook hands with the Californian Government Official. "Connor Morales, San Andres Secretary of State affairs", Marcus nodded, "Pleased to meet you". Connor continued, "I wanted to discuss a reoccuring issue about a problem in Chicago", Marcus gestured outwards, "by all means".
"What's your position on the Knight Vigilante in Chicago", Connor said as they locked eyes, with Marcus giving a slight smirk.
