As expected Cain attempted to visit Graham Tyson in the hospital, but Tyson’s severe injuries prevented visitors other than immediate family. For this reason, I too was unable to get into his room without attracting attention. That fact combined with Tyson’s mental state (pain killers and physical injuries not making him lucid and coherent) forced me to initiate contact with Cain- my only alternative.
Despite attempts to sacrifice normal pleasantries and introductions, I attempted to brief Cain as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, our meeting was cut short by the arrival of a being calling himself Dominion, an Angelic figure, not unlike Cain’s comrade Raptor, save for the contrast of his ebony skin vs. his snow white wings. He wielded a glowing golden orb of energy which he utilized as an effective weapon. I cannot help tracing the connection of the physical appearance of the being with his name and be recalled to my childhood religious tutelage and think of the Dominions within the hierarchy of Angels- regulators of the Angels that often wielded a scepter or orb of energy as a sign of their authority.
A battle ensued and happened quickly. Cain and Raptor fought with precision, but unfortunately for me, so did Dominion. The energy sphere hit with intensity. Two well placed attacks and I fell unconscious. However, I was told this was towards the end of the engagement and that Raptor dealt the final strike that left Dominion unconscious and in police custody.
I feel this is a moot point, as the police might not have the capabilities to detain such a being for long, and that Dominion might be free before long (if he isn’t already).
Am told I am at a hotel in Manhattan, and am grateful Cain and Raptor decided to take me along rather than leaving me to the authorities. That would have been a mess I would not like to have sorted through and may have compromised my mission. I am hoping I can get some time to discuss matters with my new acquaintances.
Notes to add to dossiers: Cain: No additional powers noted. Hand-to-hand prowess confirmed.
Raptor: No additional powers noted save physical tissue regeneration. Seems to have a prior contact with Dominion. Possible WA experiments on humans with varying power levels- modeling off of the Angelic orders.
Dominion: Physical description noted above. Rapid tissue regeneration. Energy control (golden sphere) that provides ranged attacks. Increased physical strength/ endurance (similar to Raptor) are undetermined.
