Jessica woke in the morning alone in the crib.

She looked around the room and saw no sign of Hannah or Elysa.

She found the rails of the crib down and climbed out she removed the onesie that Hannah had put on her and found a note on the changing table.

Jessica,

Sorry to leave you,

but Elysa and I had to go handle a bank robbery in town.

We’ll talk later tonight. – Hannah

Jessica read the note and felt better about waking up alone.

She went to her own room and changed her soaked diaper and went to find someone to talk to.

She found Knight in his study laboring over some notes.

“Jessica, how are you holding up?”

Knight asked without turning from his paperwork.

“How’d you know it was me?” she asked and took a seat next to him at the desk.

“You’re the only hero I know that crinkles when she walks,” he said.

Jessica blushed. “I was wondering if I could talk to you for a bit,” she said.

Knight turned away from his paperwork.

“I suppose I should take a break, what can I do for you?” he asked.

“Hannah thought it’d be good for me to get to know all of you a little better, so I was hoping you could share your story with me,” she said.

Knight nodded. “That’s a good idea, but I’m not really comfortable sharing my sordid past with people,” he said.

“Then how can you expect to be a good leader if nobody knows you?” Jessica asked.

Knight said nothing for a long while, and Jesseca thought he was just ignoring her.

She stood up and started to leave when Knight finally spoke.

“A little over two hundred years ago I was an archaeologist,” he said.

“Two hundred years ago?” Jessica asked in surprise.

Knight nodded.

“I was on a dig in England when we found an ancient tomb.

Inside the tomb we found a suit of armor, this suit of armor to be exact.” he explained.

“As we were examining the armor we were attacked by a group of men,

I believe now that they were Circle of Thorn’s mystics.

When I awoke I was wearing the armor we’d found and they were performing some kind of ritual on me.

They killed my colleagues and used their blood in the ritual.” he said.
