Bastetta will explain quickly; they'd been reading together, when the pair of assassins seemed to just simply detach from the wall, to attack them. They barely avoided being hit, screaming for help, as they dove through the portal, only her reflexes granted from training in his domain letting them escape.<br/><br/>When Draiss arrives, he'll find the two assassins having already fled, leaping out the nearby window, leaving one of the shadow stalkers who'd arrived to confront them damaged. The first thing he'll note, though, is the faint afterglow of Beyonder energy in the room; these weren't your ordinary assassins. They had, and were using, Beyonder augmentations of some sort.
