After making yet another turkey wrap, Nadia takes the plate back to her room to do her research. Her research was based on some information on any magical black markets, underground fighting rinks, and other illegal organizations. Usually, Christopher or Celeste would have used their abilities to gain resources on any of signs of danger or someone needing help to control their abilities. However, Nadia has deeper ties to other resources that not even the other members in the Serpent’s Gate can gain.<br/><br/>I guess it’s one of the perks of being the last  remaining member of the Heelshire crime family. Not only that, but after her escape from the underground arena, some of her colleagues that she helped escape from the compound offered to help her gain some intel around the city. Nadia would sometimes get emails, calls, and even visits from them as they tell her what they have found. It felt nice knowing she got some people who are outside the Serpent’s Gate having her back.<br/><br/>After making yet another turkey wrap, Nadia takes the plate back to her room to do her research.

Usually, Christopher or Celeste would have used their abilities to gain resources on any of signs of danger or someone needing help to control their abilities. However, Nadia has deeper ties to other resources that not even the other members in the Serpent's Gate can gain.<br/><br/>I guess it's one of the perks of being the last  remaining member of the Heelshire crime family. Not only that, but after her escape from the underground arena, some of the other prisoners that she helped escape from the compound offered to help her gain some intel around the city. Nadia would sometimes get emails, calls, and even visits from them as they tell her what they have found. It felt nice knowing she got some people who are outside the Serpent's Gate having her back.<br/><br/>However, Nadia made sure that nobody but Celeste knows about her family's background. What they currently do know about her researching methods is that Nadia has allies from her past imprisonment that wanted to repay her for their escape by providing her with some useful information about some mysterious events, suspicious organizations, and whatever information that the Serpent's Gate needed to know. Even when the information isn't enough for Nadia to use to bring back to her group, she would most likely go to those places herself to do her own spying.<br/><br/>The reason behind why Nadia is so keen on finding intel on other people and mysterious events as well as training some of the new members in physical combat is not to find her siblings or repay Celeste and the Serpent's Gate for giving her shelter, but it was her way of protecting them from people who want to use them for malicious things. Just like how she was treated in the underground arena, these people who are made with power and greed. Just owning someone like Christopher, Celeste, or any other member in the Serpent's Gate will allow those people enough power to take over the world or use hidden information against other powerful organizations.<br/><br/>Whatever the reason, Nadia made sure to keep her guard up and do whatever she can to protect the ones she cares about. Just as Nadia was about to head upstairs to her room, she sensed a familiar presence outside the house. Nadia didn't know when this first happened as she was mostly occupied with her research and missions, but this person has been coming to the house all day. No, they haven't gotten the chance to come inside and they didn't seem like the person who has a hostile aura around them. At least, they didn't show any hostility whenever the house is going through one of the members' disasters.<br/><br/>It could be possible that this person needed the Serpent Gate's help. There have been some people like Nadia and the others that would come to the house for sanctuary or have some intel on someone needing help with their magical abilities. On the other hand, there are some people who are too scared to reveal their abilities and tried to hide from the world. Their desire to become "normal" have caused most of those people to lose control over their abilities, causing others around them to get hurt or scared. It's a sad reality, but that is why the Serpent's Gate try their best to find these people and help them with their abilities and identities.<br/><br/>After Nadia sensed the person leaving again, she then sent a message to one of her spies within the area to look out for the person and try to find some background information if Celeste and others couldn't figure it out themselves. Once the message was sent, Nadia then continues going upstairs and enters her room that's full of documents maps, and photos neatly pinned and filed in their compartments.
