"Or maybe they do..." David stated as he walked over to join them.
"Imagine what it would do for their cause to make people see things their way if all of those prisoners were let loose?" he suggested. The message had an ominous undertone to it. His words gnawed at Keiko’s conscience. She had sworn an oath to protect and serve. Begrudged Sensitives let loose on the streets of Osiris would be more of a one sided blood bath than a war. Such a war would bring with it persecution perpetuating the cycle.
David had a point end the threat at the source. But how? She thought but before she could formulate a response an unexpected tidbit caught her attention.
”"As for your new found powers, I may be able to help you with that. But it all depends if you want to keep and learn to control your powers, or get rid of them."
She never even realized it was a possibility. Keiko meant Blessed child. She had always assumed her sharp shooting prowess was her blessing. Maybe these powers were the blessing of her namesake. Mother had told the siblings stories of a legendary hero of great strength named Namiko. Try as she might, Keiko was never able to find any reference of such a hero although the tales regarding the Child of Law had great similarities to Osiris’ savior Glory.
Perhaps, Keiko was to take up this mantle.
”You could do that?” Keiko remarked. ”Remove my powers. I’m not even sure what I am capable of doing at the moment. A declaration like that would suggest familiarity with this Star Warrior Project. Is that why Damien was targeting you? You were on that list.”
The Asian detective finished her examination with one final question. ”If it’s true, what do you know of this holding facility and the secrets it contain? Regardless, I’ve been set apart for a reason. I think I’ll choose to embrace my powers. It’s what my mother would have wanted. With your help maybe I’ll be able to understand my potential.”
