As the figure stepped forward, Emily's eyes widened in surprise.
It was a woman with long, curly brown hair and piercing green eyes.
"Who are you?" Emily asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
The woman smiled, her eyes glinting with amusement. "My name is Ava," she said. "And I'm here to help you."
Ryker's eyes narrowed. "What makes you think we need your help?" he asked.
Ava's smile grew wider. "I've been watching you," she said. "I've been watching you take down the Xeridian government, and I'm impressed."
Victor's eyes narrowed. "What do you want in return for your help?" he asked.
Ava's smile faltered for a moment, before she regained her composure. "I want to help you take down the rest of the corrupt government officials," she said. "I want to help you bring justice to the people."
Emily's eyes widened in surprise. "Why would you want to do that?" she asked.
