Realistic or Modern Heroes of Today: God's Territory

Rick Eisenhower :: Zephyr​

Zephyr covered his face as the one-punch moment seemed to happen. A blast of air did a number on the school as well as on the individual that Zephyr was putting effort into killing. It almost seemed disheartening, that someone's power could grow to this degree and they lacked the restrain and ability to do anything with their power.

As Zephyr saw the male injured and muttering something to himself, he ran over to him only to look at the damaged arms and legs. "You need a healer. Let's get going."

Without hesitation, Zephyr summoned a packet of air enriched with enough oxygen to be beneficial, but not enough to cause poisoning. He lifted up Norm and summoned a column of air for him to ride on. "You three, stay in school and warn the principal about what had just occurred. Do not mention your friend's power in any circumstance whatsoever. Boy, I'm going to be taking you straight to Headquarters for a fix. The Healer is just about your age, too. You two will probably have a nice conversation about homework and whatever kids talk about these days. You ready, hero?"

Zamasu D duegxybus

Fayette had tried to leap attack to 'Hero Killer' when he had grabbed 3 girls, but missed when he used his boosters.

Fayette then runned after Norm and saw his powers too. She let out tears when she saw Norm getting shot.

"Zephyr, my sister is missing. I would like to stay with girls. Could my sister's motor home get moved to their home?"​

Norm Hall

Norm let's out a big smile and barely pulls up a thumbs up with his non-injured hand as he is being taken to the headquarters for healing. "Dad...Mom...Soleil...Lune...Danielle...Fayette...Hanah...I did it. I'm...I'm a hero now..." Norm thought, embracing his victorious effort in taking the Hero Killer down.

Danielle Estrada, Soleil and Lune Celeste

The girls are left speechless, until Lune began to spoke "Norm...he does have powers. But why would he have to lie to say he doesn't?" And then Soleil added "Yeah, nyuu. Norm has powers all along nyuu. Why hide it nyuu?" Danielle looked at the sisters and say "Hold on, why are we beginning to antagonize Norm? He is the one who saved us from that Hero Killer, so why are we going to say how much of a liar he is?"

"Are you kidding me?" Lune says in disbelief "Me and Soleil had been with Norm ever since we were kids. We both thought he was a normal person who had an eye injury and is constantly being picked on for not having powers like his superhero parents. And then right now, ugh! I cannot believe he could do that to us!"

"Norm a liar, nyaa!" Soleil followed "Norm never lied nyuu. Norm would never lie nyuu. He said he has no powers nyuu. But he does nyuu."

The sisters are apparently beginning to hate on Norm, but Danielle is trying her very best to defend him. "Look, let's just do what the guy says, okay? Let's settle this aside." Danielle says before she leads the sisters to the principal's office for explanation.

Lion Gold X

Aside from the total destruction caused by Norm's attack, the Hero Killer himself is seen laying on the rubble of the last building he crashed in, his armor in critical condition. The plate that covers his face fell off, which made him woke up with his face exposed.

He coughed up some blood and felt his insides torn apart. He uses his armor's arms to get him up, but the damage on his body rendered him useless, so he has to rely on the armor arms for now.

"Damn him..." He angrily mutters "The son of Mighty Supreme, I hate him now. I'll get revenge on him someday, if it is the last thing I do. I'll kill him with my own dirty hands like how I killed my victims. He will know my true pain." He then makes his escape from the scene.

Atticus listened to the experiment’s story, so there had been more of them...? He’d look into it later. For now, his focus was on the current situation.

“Lovely news. Now I just feel rude not calling you by a name, so I shall just address you as Unknown if that suits you?” Watching the gushing head breifly his eyes looked back to Unknown. “Now that I run the place, I suppose we should make agreement. I will burn all records of your existence here, as well as help you properly adjust to the world. You can do what you want, I don’t care. I get totally control over the lab, and the buisness aspect. Deal?”

Rick Eisenhower :: Zephyr​

"Neko, you're a hero. Handle it yourself. I have an injured kid on my hands." Zephyr turned back to face Neko before jumping off the edge of the building. The wind picked him up and he found himself speeding through the streets, high above any traffic to bother him, on a column of air. "First order of business, we heal you. Then you do the intense paperwork business and then you need to go through Hero Education. It's a really long drawn process, but I'm sure you can handle it with power like that. No, I'm kidding, you likely are unable to because you lack control." Zephyr shrugged as he made it to the HQ. The HQ was a large building, windowless, and perfect for Zephyr to make his way into.

Zephyr went in through the roof chute, landing directly in the infirmary. The infirmary was large, had several tables and chairs, decorated walls. In short, it was the perfect hospital. And most importantly, there was a lavish bed sitting in the room that Zephyr took Norm into. He lay him on the bed. "The healer will be here momentarily to assess the damage."

And with that, Zephyr exited the room, leaving Norm to explore the room. There was a TV remote, a TV, several buttons to play around with, bed settings, and all that fun stuff.

Unknown Numerals​

"Tch. I don't even remember my own name. Unknown is what I'm typically called." Unknown crossed his arms and leaned against the wall as he listened to the deal. The deal was rather strange, as though he'd let the first asset go free without any inhibition. Something just didn't add up.

"You would burn 17 years worth of records that document my progress towards becoming the Absolute Being? It's true, the tests offer no change in my power, so you are welcome by all means to burn it. I adjust to the world on my own accord, and I'll take over the city when I feel the need to. I hold all the power of the world in my hand at this very moment. A bunch of statistics on a piece of paper mean nothing to me. Nothing means anything to me anymore. You can have the lab, all I want to do at this moment is experience true freedom." Unknown began laughing. No, he began cackling. One of the weird laughs that people do when they realize that everything is absolutely fucked up and nothing is going to work anymore. "These tests are fucked up, and you're willing to burn them all! You're perfect! HAHAHA!"

"I didn't know that my sister has powers and i have grew up with her from when i was baby."

"Now i heard that she has get powers and she hasn't come seek me. Do i hate her? NO! I am little disappointed, but more of scared by her safety."​

Atticus discarded the cackling, though it was quite obnoxious. His face was like onyx, unwavering and sharp. Once Unknown finished his tyraid, he adjusted his cufflinks, then spoke.

“Yes I would. I care little of the past, the future is always more promising. Just as I see yours.” His eyes looking over Unknown’s ghastly figure before he continued. “You talk highly of your world power, but you never experience true freedom? Quite a oxymoron. See you cannot take over the world with pure force, intelligence is involved. You know nothing of modern society, so how should you expect to fully frighten and dominate the world? You don’t.”

He slowly began to walk around Unknown, Atticus always thought better when he moved. “I am offering you a splendid opportunity ol’ sport. I highly suggest you take it.”

 

[duegxybus]

Unknown Numerals​

Unknown listened intently when he suddenly realized that his plans were greater than this. Taking over the world was beneath him. "You're right. I don't experience freedom until death. But why stop there? Why not let everyone experience freedom by destroying the world right here?"

At that moment, Unknown's mouth spread into the most disastrous smile that a man could possess. It was not human at all. "Say, Prof, that I could simply carve a hole through the planet by tapping my foot. It would be catastrophic. That is the power I am talking about. Not the power to conquer the world, but to DESTROY IT!" Unknown summoned a field of numbers to surround a mass on his hands. Plasma began forming between his fingertips. "I didn't know I could do a lot of things. This being one of them. It looks like a really fancy desk toy, and it is." Unknown set the ball of energy on the nearby console, and it began to spin before it fizzled out, leaving a burned spot on the table. "Enough of it, and the world's gone. That is my power. To destroy the world. Numbers, vectors, equations, none of it matters. KISS is all yours, and I accept your offer! Burn my documents, and you have yourself a deal! I'll adjust to society!" And the worst part was that Unknown knew nothing of business. He just gave up all of KISS.

Atticus dipped his head to Unknown, “Glad to hear monsuier, pleasure doing buisness.” And with that, the man dissapeared...

Instantaneously he arrived in his Paris penthouse. It’s tasteful throwback to Parisian architecture and his love for the old days were evident. A wall of records and books lined his main foyer, a large record player sat beside his hearth. But he was only here to change clothing. Making his way into his bedroom he turned into his closet. Changing from his tasteful suit to a more bleak outfit. A simple black sweater over his white dress shirt, no tie. Grey slacks, and switching to black Oxfords. The final touch being a black lab coat, his signature touch. And with that, he adjusted his glasses, and dissapeared...

Arriving back at KISS, specially his new office, he took a deeep breath. Taking in the view of Empire City, he hoped Unknown had left by now. He needed to get the lab team up and running downstairs, and get the body taken care off.

~Mason Crowley - The Creator~

Today started out fairly normal, well normal in the nicest way when you live in a city which was filled with loads of super hero's and villains of many varieties. Mason would have started his day off waking up in his nice cozy little apartment, made himself some breakfast with the help of a few mini-constructs bringing him a few important ingredients from a very simple breakfast. Next - after brushing his teeth and taking a shower he would quickly dress himself in something comfortable yet something he could move around in which just ended up being a white t-shirt and a pair of jeans that weren't so restricting. Checking his phone a few times he would sigh with boredom looking around his apartment as he watches his constructs scramble around cleaning up after him while he walks before suddenly he would concentrate before waving his hand in their directions and they would stop before breaking apart in particles and light before fizzling away in a colorful explosion of blues and reds. Nodding when he looked over how well they cleaned "They're getting better at least, no more tripping over each other" he shrugs turning his attention now to the TV, he had recently graduated from the local high school and was just getting used to ruining his sleeping schedule when the news flicked across the screen. Stopping on the news channel he would check his phone before his attention is drawn back to the public school he used to go to, the story today would be covering the current/recent attack on the Public school; a fight had broken out between a villain and students causing some serious damage to both the school and students alike.(I wasnt sure if the fighting is still going on..) Brief memories would flash in his mind before he would quickly get up and turn the TV off and stuffs his wallet, phone then some ear buds into his pockets; quickly heading out of his apartment with a soft click and then a lock of his door.

Quickly he would make his way towards the school, taking the short cuts he still remembered taking when he was still going to the place before soon he would reach the school and watch as the school is gradually swarmed by a multitude of ambulances, firemen and police officers trying to establish a sense of order in the school after the fighting seemed to have stopped. Looking around for some way to help he would huff in annoyance "Welp, no one's gonna stop me from helping" he says more to himself to reassure himself before he quickly begins to walk into the crowd of first responders moving from groups; asking if they need any help before eventually he would head into the school to look for the more injured students that need more help.

Suzume Mori & Briana Skullbash

After Suzume had cleaned water, she started to make potions and salve to her mystery patient. She checked time to time what her patient's condition was before turning her attention back to cauldron. After getting first potion ready she get some to clean class and make her patient drink it, that potion started curing slowly patient's lungs. Suzume collected rest of potion from cauldron so she could give needed extra doses. Then she started making salve, when they where done, she put some of salve to burns and gived second dose of potion before closing curtains around patient's bed and starting to get ready if someone from slums comes to ask help.​

Unknown Numerals​

At that moment, Prof seemed to disappear. Unknown scoffed, and went back on a leisurely stroll outside. He looked at everything in a different light; never had he ever vocalized his plans about destroying the world. It could only be so easy, should anyone ever come for him he'd do just that. However, he wasn't sure if he could, and that was all a failure in his head. He continued walking down Sett Street, which was none but destroyed in the recent incidents. The world had to go. It couldn't even rebuild itself.

As Unknown continued his walk, he passed a street. A man tried to offer him coffee. Unknown took the coffee pot from his hand, and drank it all before tossing the pot as well as some money back in his direction. "It's time to destroy this world. Life can flourish elsewhere." Unknown tested his ability. He tapped his foot against the ground, grabbing a hold of the planet's kinetic energy. There was an awful lot of it; enough for a strike through ground to destroy absolutely everything. But that wouldn't be enough. He tweaked it just a little bit, just to get a feel of the energy. It was barely enough to be felt. Unknown mused himself with the idea. What if the hacker detected the change. It would be funny if-

BIRDHOUSE.

Unknown couldn't destroy the world yet. He hadn't figured out who Birdhouse was. Thoughts flew through Unknown's head. COME ON OUT, BIRDHOUSE! Let me see your face before I destroy the world in front of you!

Vicky was still a bit skeptical, but if she could only force the kid so much. At least he'd picked something out, even if it wasn't much. Shrugging, she took the clothes from Eko and added them to the bundle in her arms before making her way to the checkout line. It was still pretty early in the morning, so the line was short and she was accepting the bagged purchase from the cashier within a few minutes. She'd received an odd look for paying in cash, but no one questioned her and she was ready to go before too long.

"Alright, there's some other things we gotta do before the end of the day. Was there anything ya wanted to add to the list?"

They were already in a more business oriented area of the city. Finding a new apartment and getting the kid enrolled somewhere could wait, she supposed, if there was a reason the kid was in the city. He obviously thought there was something here for him, he wouldn't have gone through the trouble of getting here otherwise. At least she hoped so. She took a deep breath as the thought hit her. What was she supposed to do if the kid was just here? Sure she was gonna keep him, but what was she supposed to do with him. Even in the short time since they'd met, it wasn't hard to tell the kid was unassertive. Well, more than just unassertive, but still. She'd been operating under the assumption Eko could use someone to help him out while he was doing things, but if he wasn't going to do anything was everything just gonna be on her to make decisions?

Maybe establishing a routine as soon as possible would be the right way to go. She wasn't willing to just take him everywhere with her, but she didn't want to leave him on his own for too long either. School was a priority then. If not that then she'd have to find something else for him to do during the day, but school was definitely the best option.

[The Omen of Death]

(Timeskip gonna do a basic recap as to what would happen and then soon enough I will get back to posting as normal for each character for the time skip)

With that, Victoria would follow Eryn making more small talk even with his awkwardness. Vítězslav would still be sitting in the class awaiting the students to arrive, now reading a book after checking the stuff related to KISS and all of that. But closed it up once the class arrived.

In a somewhat surprising turn of events, Vítězslav would state that today's class would be a bit less structured than usual and anything he stated would be done for the day would be pushed off to the next class, in the mean time though he decided today's class would be a free form type one, basically they would be allowed to paint or do any type of art of any idea that struck their muse in the moment. As he listened in though, he realized Eryn one of his students was actually the kid taking on Unknown... Poltergeist... This intrigued Vítězslav greatly, and had the usual twinkle in his eye and made a nice little smile. He also noticed even if he was speaking about something completely different or just something that he seemed confident talking about, there was still some insecurities in it, basically the fact that he got into that fight caused some deep insecurity about his ability and how he could have been killed with ease.

This caused Vítězslav to think about that fight again, remembering absolutely everything with clarity and ease, mostly the focus fell on that Aversion Field. With his mind being so powerful his mind raced through possibilities like lightning bolts in his head. How could one get around it? Was there a way to maybe even manipulate it and fool a power? Then he smiled again, there was a possibility, what if the aversion field operated on the fact that if something was coming at the experiment at speeds deemed dangerous to the user it would intervene... It suddenly started to make sense, if the aversion field was always up if that was the case, nothing would ever be able to get close to him, and anything he would try to hold would be vaporized or whatever that field would do.

Or if anything moved in there the same would happen no matter the speed. Now he had a means to harm him even if it was risky, he was definitely confident he could figure out and calculate the correct speed to strike him at... Problem is that meant guns would be out of the equation, maybe a couple bombs would help, even if they do nothing they would be great distractions same with guns.

But this war should it break out wouldn't simply be one of simply fists, it would also be one of wits and the mind. Vítězslav knew his opponent was intelligent too, but it was clouded by his arrogance, perception he was unbeatable, and temper. If that was exploited his opponent would easily have his ego crushed and would become reckless. And if his opponent had the weakness Vítězslav thought he had, he had a great way to start off an encounter.

Vítězslav really had to thank Eryn for that, he allowed his mind to figure out the true way to engage Unknown. But through that, he also saw potential in him, untapped value, that could be exploited...

Victoria seemed relatively normal during the class, she found it slightly surprising that the class was formatted differently than normal but she didn't fret too much about it. After class she and her teacher discussed some things, and he gave her some info on something, since he had no more classes to do for the day and he made a believable excuse Vítězslav was able to leave his work place and go home.

At that point Namgung had gotten a text from Vítězslav to ask her to monitor the Sett Street area on camera feeds, and eventually she found Unknown doing something she didn't understand, nonetheless texting him what she saw. He took this into account, as he now put on new clothes (the clothes he is wearing in his CS pic including any necklaces or jewelry accessories etc.) and got some pipe bombs and his pistol and his razor before deciding to pay KISS Labs a visit.

Making his way there, he up getting an audience with the owner not knowing Marcus is no longer that. So he is on his way there.

With Victoria, after her classes she contacted a female student and asked her to meet at a designated spot that Vítězslav told her to tell the student to go, it appears to be no where suspicious, and the student has only a slight clue as to where to go. So she is about to reach Victoria there.

[_Line 213]

Eko followed Vicky out of the store quietly, not even seeming to mind her slight objection; no big deal had been made out of it, and so it seemed that the boy's modesty was able to stand, for now.

He glanced up to Vicky as she asked her two questions, blinking at her for a moment, before reaching to pull his phone out of his pocket. "Twelve," he replied, answering her second question first as he shuffled his hand around in his pocket, getting a proper grip on the device and pulling it out carefully.

"...I want to find someone," he said after a moment of silence, as if that was something that he could accomplish in a single day. If anything, the kid was in over his head, even if he had some sort of helpful ability up his sleeve. Eko spent several moments flipping through his phone quietly, before seemingly finding what he was looking for.

He turned the screen around, pushing it up towards Vicky in order to ensure that she got a proper look. It was a selfie, seemingly; the long-haired Eko shared the frame with a girl several years older than him, a high-schooler by the look of things. Blonde, shoulder-length hair, expression a mix of a smile and a bout of laughter, a far more energetic counterpart to Eko's mild, peaceful smile. The two lay amongst a bunch of bright red grass, oddly-colored flowers sprouting amongst the already oddly-colored blades cushioning them against the ground.

"...She's like me," Eko said without offering much explanation, pulling the phone away once Vicky had had her fill of the picture; he was very protective of the device, even for a child. "She wanted to join the Heroes of Today, but she went missing instead." The boy's voice was softer than usual, a marker of particularly sensitive information, it would seem.

Atticus had spent the remainder of yesterday dedicated to the staff. Properly introducing himself and the situation, he had set the new standards. And by time he had entered the office the next morning, the office folk had already informed their stock holders, who started to double shares...

Currently he sat in his office, wearing the same outfit as yesterday, just with a fresh batch of clothing. He was currently reading over Unknown’s files, which were not burnt, and never would be. The biologist here had achieved something, and it was out of respect to him he saved the papers. But they were also intriguing, explaining how this Unknown could control numerals. But his thoughts were interrupted by his new secretary, Liza, who said some man was wanting to see him. “Send him in, but alert him of a loted time please.” He said without a glance up from his paperwork.

Keara was sitting at her desk, filling out a hundred incident reports. "I'm seventeen, I shouldn't be filing reports. This is a job for adults." As she filled out the last paper, an operator told her that someone was quite messed up in a room. Keara stood up and thanked the operator before going to the room, opening the door without feeling the need to knock.

She walked in to see someone's arm completely shattered, along with their legs. "That's weird, you aren't a hero. How did you get these injuries?" The healer put her hands over the male's injured arm. The bones began vibrating slowly before rearranging back to the normal range. Then they fused together in the way that they normally should've been. Silently, Keara moved down to his legs, only to find more shattered bones. What did this guy get into? Villain attack? We need to alert the organization.

After Keara finished fusing his bones back together and cleaning up the excess blood, everything looked as good as new. There would still be pain for a few days, but that's the best that Keara could do. She lifted the TV remote out of his hands and turned it off. "You're all healed. You're free to go."

Mason would have spent a while helping tend to some of the more heavily injured students before soon start to explore the more damaged parts of the school, his curiosity getting the best of him as he ventures into the area's with most likely more structural damage than most of the school. Eventually he would come to a stop as he hears voices down the hallway and frowns thinking it would be unwise for people to be in this wing of the school due to all the damage it had suffered from the fighting. Worriedly he would slip forwards before coming to a stop in the door way "Hey uh you guys alright?" He asks lightly and gently, adjusting his shirt a bit as he looked around the ruined class room before back to the two people inside(?) "This wing of the school looks very damaged are uhm...are you sure you want to be in this part?" He says with a tint of worry in his voice. Meanwhile he would be taking in the surroundings of the classroom, glancing about for points of structural weaknesses before eventually coming back to settle on looking at the actual people with a tilt of his head.

Once Eryn had gotten out of school, he had his father drive him over to the hospital to see how the esper girl was doing. It's not like he really had anything else to do since he couldn't see any other lead to the experiment. Truth be told, if he actually did have something else to do, he would much prefer to do that in order to avoid this social encounter where he was guaranteed to seem like an awkward mess like what had happened with Victoria.

Once they arrived, his father got out while Eryn continued to sit in the back.
"I'll come in with you once you find out if she's actually available for visits. Don't wanna step outside for no reason in this weather."
"Eh...ok?" His father knew well that the real reason for wanting to wait even more was because he wanted to postpone the interaction as long as possible. The current weather didn't even seem all that bad, but he didn't call Eryn out on it. While Eryn waited for his father to find out the girl's status, he layed back across the two seats and started spacing out.

[Lappi]

Jim walked past the HOT building. He hasn't really been paying attention to recent events. All he knows is others in that large building are fighting others for no reason besides one hates the other.
At least thats what Jim thinks. He has the ability to join but he doesnt, it seems too boring to him. All the paper work and such. He I wanted by them, but more of a 'if you see him' thing.
Jim continues to walk down the street. Readjusting his shortcut hair, rough as sandpaper. He figured it was time to get some hygiene products. The pharmacy prices were too high so he was going to go the the Russian Market. Going to the Russian market, it has music in background, it was a classical sort. With live vocals and 5 different instruments consisting of strings, pipes and drums. With one owning a keyboard. They played a face paced dance.
The stands had all kinds of collectables and utility items. The first one he looked at had a wooden doll, that opened up 13 times. The last doll being a half inch tall. He fiddled around with it. He handed the old lady who ran the stand who he knew closely a 10$ bill, she beamed at the money. Gesturing him to sit down, Jim shook his head. Speaking part of the only Russian he knew.
" извините, нет времени" which roughly translates to 'Sorry, no time". The older lady nodded and waved him bye.
Jim took the doll and put it into his bag. Walking away and going 3 stands down and picking up a large bottle of shampoo. The young man there told him that the shampoo was 3 dollars. Jim opened his backpack and looked inside his 'money' pocket. He only had 45¢, so Jim froze for Moment and focused. The man froze up and turned around staring at the concrete wall. His whole body turning but it was shaking like he really didn't want too. Jim walked off with the shampoo, not stopping his control of the man until he was long gone. Once he did the man screamed russian curses, screaming about 'fucking supers'.

[The Omen of Death]

Vítězslav got in with such ease, and was totally ready to get any last minute info about Unknown. Having a theory about the direction Unknown would go in, it was funny really... Considering Vítězslav was not in the know, he had no knowledge of the fact that there was a change of hierarchy at KISS and that Marcus was dead.

He was warned that he had a limited amount of time with him, which Vítězslav very simply acknowledged, as he would've expected such.

Finally as Vítězslav made his entrance as the doors opened, the first thing Atticus could feel was the oozing of charisma, suave, debonair, sophistication coming from Vítězslav, as he was caught slightly by surprised that the office had the look of a new office, and then taking note of the fact that this person was not Marcus. Not being phased by this, he took a good look at Atticus getting a good feel for him. The man looked French, and around Vítězslav's own age, and had an obvious deposition of intellect, and someone comparable to himself, the man greatly intrigued Vítězslav. It's not like his partner wasn't intelligent and by no means was she not a slouch, she was very much into discussion and reading as well, it's just that she didn't hold the sophistication that this man, and Vítězslav had. This man was ripe for allying with and having a beneficial relationship.

But with that, Vítězslav needed to test this mans grasp of the situation he was involved in.

"My, my, I wouldn't have imagined a man would've piqued my intrigue this quickly... Especially considering I wasn't anticipating a new person in charge... Especially considering I would imagine you have the dilemma of the former head's experiment... The so called, Unknown Numerals, I would hope you know the gravity of the experiment and what is being dealt with here." Vítězslav said being intrigued by this new figure in his soft Czech accent, obviously dropping knowledge to be alarmed at, but he remained calm and added. "But, I'd say you mustn't worry, for I am not Birdhouse, but someone who has now seen an opportunity for us both to prosper, and to have a beneficial relationship, rather than that of adversaries... Before I do say anything else, I'd also like to ask you something, What did happen to Marcus Reston? The man formally in charge? If you truly think that this is an attempt at trying to gain leverage for blackmail, I would be glad to tell you something that would give you some leverage on me as well, because usually I don't give opportunities like this and I truly feel adamant that we should try to make something good out of this." He stated cryptically, as he planned to prime him to figure the truth if there was a lie given to him. Nonetheless he wouldn't care what the man would say even if it was that he had Marcus killed in a power grab or anything similar, he was honestly going to tell the man his identity as Mockingjay either way. But he wanted to try to smooth that in.
