Droplets from the rain could be seen falling down the windows of The Crows Nest Headquarters. As the thunder rolled in the sky started flashing every couple of minutes. Members of The Crows Nest could be seen running inside to escape the storm. A few good people were left outside to keep watch as whispers begin to come forth. Whispers that were excited to some, but dreadfully shocking to Storm. In the many rooms inside the HQ there was just one with a broken smile. "With growth comes responsibility and friends who rather see you dead" is what was being spoken softly as she looked through her journal. A journal she acquired many years ago from her ancestors that she kept close to her at all times. "A lot has changed over the years, but even a fresh layer of paint has cracks underneath" she mumbled to herself. Knowing that a new era was here she wanted to be part of the difference of the outcome. Her hands can be seen shaking as she placed her journal on the inside of her coat pocket.

Turning towards the door she heads out and starts walking down the hall. Her footsteps were soft, but the thunder was roaring. The HQ lights begin to flicker more and the whispers became clearer. She stops for a moment and looks around before approaching Magnolia office. Her hands can be seen with hesitant to knock as Quint opened the door and invited her in. LuBu was to the right of Magnolia as she was sitting in the middle of the table. With a smile on her face she looked at Storm and begin to speak.

We spoke earlier in privacy so you know why you are here. Have you came to a decision on what was asked to you?

Over the past couple days Storm kept to herself as so much was brought to her at once. She only knew loyalty and death would always come to her eventually. Knowing she wanted to stand for something before her time was up she knew without worry what her response would be. Knowing what she prepared to say and expressing in words were not her strong side.

Yeah! i mean.....  breathing in and out she begins to speak again.

My nerves are a bit on the shocked side still. Everything seems so different compared to how i pictured it in my head over and over again. 

Magnolia continues to smile at Storm.

I would be greatly honored to set up my own place of business in the Bronx under you. 

Magnolia looks to Lubu and Quint and nods. The two of them gets up to leave the office closing the door behind them. 

As she slides a box in front of Storm and whispers to her.

Never forget where you came from and always remember where you will go. Even an alternate route will get you to the same location in time.

Opening the box Storm sees a key inside. Knowing what its for Magnolia gives her the nod to start her new chapter. As she is walking towards the door she hears name.Maam? as she turns to look at Magnolia.

Name, the name of your headquarters. What do you have in mind for it?

Placing her hand over her journal she thought back to some of the details that were written inside.

Whispers, the name of the headquarters will be "Beyond The Whispers".

Gunther appears before Storm almost out of thin air. He has a monstrous grin across his face as he gives her a giant bear hug lifting her off of the ground before letter her go. He takes a step back and crosses his arms, still smiling.

"Congratulations on striking it out on your own! I'm so proud!"

He leaned it and whispered.

"Don't forget though, you're never truly on your own."

He gave a small wink and laughed.
