Children, Drawing Blood, and Resurrected Ninjas

New York had been lively for the past few days as the Stark Expo drew people from all over the world.

But Luke and Selina lived very peacefully.

Foggy had already set up the renovation company, and Luke had invested in it.

Now, the old hands and a dozen or so temp workers had already started to receive information from Little Snail. They ran through the streets and alleys of Manhattan to pull in business.

Bent Bennett, a former employee of the Department of Defense, was now a special researcher at the New Hope Research Center in Nassau County. He worked at his own pace, the budget was his alone and he didn't have to wrangle with anybody.

Luke had chosen the name New Hope after much consideration. It was the new hope from his previous life.

Luke hoped that the technology in this lab would be like the livestock raised on a farm: they went in small and skinny, and came out plump and fair.
