Right before Nicholas could leave the alleyway, he then heard the priest that had saved him call out. Nicholas slowed to a stop, then looked over to Father Bernard, thinking about how badly the girl was injured. If they didn't do anything, she would most likely die, but as he quietly listened to the priest and the hatted girl speak to one another, he approached, but as he did, he saw that Father Bernard had laid his cross down and was.. praying? That was what it looked like to Nicholas, but at the same time, it seemed almost as if he was performing magic, for the injured girl's wounds suddenly began to heal.
Nicholas was silent throughout the entire process, but after Bora's wounds had healed, Nicholas finally decided to speak and asked a question.
"How.. How did you do that?", Nicholas almost hesitantly asked, not really sure if what he was seeing was even real.

A few minutes of focused prayer managed to close Bora's wound to the level of bleeding out to death, although it was still raw and gaping and needed treatment. Slinging her over his shoulders and vanishing the iron cross, Father Bernard addressed Nick's utter disbelief with a simple command.
"Follow me, and all shall be answered." Father Bernard bluntly responded, then turned to Koishi as well before heading off back to where he came from. "You too."

Koishi just accepted what she was seeing. Considering her night so far, it all seemed quite normal at this point. Besides, since Bora was safe, she felt her spirits rise again, a small smile forming on her face.
"Lead the way, big fella. As long as you have a washer or somethin'. Blood's hard to get out, you know?" Koishi replied.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

In that moment, Nicholas did not know what to do. Should he follow this strange man back to god knows where, or should he just go back home and continue his day. It was clear that this man was not normal, and that whatever he did was truly dangerous work with danger and death at every corner, but Nicholas still felt curiosity tugging at him to follow this man. Besides, even if he wanted nothing to do with whatever this man was involved with, it was already too late. Nicholas had been attacked by some kind of monster, which meant that he clearly wasn't safe if he just pretended that it didn't happen and went back home.
With that in mind, Nicholas looked over to Father Bernard and silently nodded at him before speaking, albeit in a rather unsure and apprehensive tone.
"Sure. I'll go.", Nicholas said to the man, trailing off at the end. After pausing for a bit, he realized that he still did not know this man's name. Just who exactly saved him?
"Uhhh, what should we call you?", Nicholas finally asked the man with the same rather unsure tone as before.

"You may call me Father Bernard." The Father responded simply. He wasn't one for much talk: the others can explain everything once he escorts the survivors of the Omen assault. "I'll take you to someone who can explain everything."
A few minutes passed before Father Bernard eventually took the two to what looked like a convenience store of sorts. It looked like a family-owned type, with the owner's residence on the second floor and the store itself on the first. In no circumstances would this be considered a hideout for any secret monster-killing group.
"We've arrived." Father Bernard muttered as he quickly glanced at everyone to see if they were alright. Bora fell unconscious, but the wound was well sealed as it didn't gush out blood all over Father Bernard's tunic. "The leader of the Prophets is inside. Go ahead, enter."

Koishi looked over to the store, hearing Bernard saying they'd arrived.
"So... you fellas run out of a store? Huh. Never knew crime fighting got lots o' budget cuts." Koishi simply skipped over to the door and entered the shop, glancing around.
"Heellllo? Anybody home?" Koishi called out, moving further into the store.

"Prophets?", Nicholas slightly whispered to himself as he stared at the convenience store.
While Koishi showed no hesitation in going into the store, Nicholas showed a little caution in doing so. All this was still rather new to him, and he was still a little shaken up from the entire night being turned on its head. To be frank, Nicholas felt as if reality had suddenly dropped into fantasy or some kind of strange dream. If anything, it was the kind of scenario one would expect from either some kind of anime, game, or any other work of entertainment. After pausing for a moment, Nicholas decided to follow Koishi inside, although he made sure to be wary of his surroundings as he did so.

Old Cowboy's Convenience Shop | Residential District | Valhalla | Time: 8:22 PM
As expected from the exterior, the interior of the convenience store was just that: convenience store. A rather well-stocked one at that; with all the new kinds of snacks, drinks, and even collectable trading cards on shelves. One key difference was the stairway up to the second floor, which was beyond the counter.
A few seconds after Nick and Koishi entered the shop and had the chance to look around, a young Asian man walked down from the stairs, noticing Father Bernard's entrance. He wore clothing that are usually associated with delinquents and rockers, with bandana, roughened-up jeans, and t-shirts with a graphic illustration of a giant skull with a naked lady sitting on one of the eye sockets.
"Hey, Pop-" The Asian man greeted before his eyes coursed to Bora slung on Father's shoulders. His accent suggested him to be of Chinese descent. "Whoa! What happened to Bora?"
"Multiple Omen attacks. Bora used herself as a shield to protect a girl in danger. I stabilized the wound for now, so she'll live, but she will need an extensive overnight treatment to get all the toxin out " Father Bernard commented as he looked back at Koishi then back to the asian man. "Is Master Jason upstairs?"
"He was sleeping so I woke him up." The asian man answered, glancing behind the Father and getting an idea as to what he needs. "I'll call for him."
Receiving a nod from the Father, the Chinese man quickly bolted upstairs to call for this Master Jason. "That's Fabian, one of our Prophets. Talented, but reckless. Also dresses inappropriately and does unholy things. Multiple attempts to lead him to the righteous way failed. Shame, but he is a great fighter."

Koishi turned over to Bernard as she tried to roll up her sleeves to reduce the amount of blood getting on the floor. She really hoped there was a washing machine and a shower nearby.
"Ah, i've seen worse. Ya' see lots of bad people when you just wander. Not to mention the...uh..." Koishi tried to find the right word. " Shady motels I usually gotta' stay at. You sorta get used to it. Can't help much to stop that kind of stuff, though." Koishi explained.
"So, if you don't mind me askin', who's this Jason fellow?" Koishi asked.

"He's the leader." Father Bernard answered to Koishi's curiosity. "Takes responsibility of keeping this city safe of all Omen activities. Of course, I must apologize for all these pronouns; they will be answered in moment's time."
And that moment came rather quickly. Accompanied by the young Chinese man was an elderly gentleman wearing authentic cowboy gear; complete with a pistol and a leather holster. His eyes spoke wisdom in age: an all-around bona fide badass who exudes the aura of a veteran leader.
"Jason." Father Bernard addressed with a quick nod. The elderly man, Jason, tipped his hat in response. "We had unusually early Omen activities today. Bora and I were able to thwart one, but Bora sustained an injury that needs to be treated."
"You should take her to the infirmary and get her treated. She'll recover quickly with your powers." Jason commanded casually. With another nod, Father Bernard ran upstairs with Bora in his arms, which left Jason alone with Koishi and Nick. Taking a much more friendly tone, Jason asked the two: "So, how can this old man help you young'uns tonight? I'm sure you two are very shaken up after what happened today, and have a lot of questions to ask."
