Summary:  Steel is surprised to find that Sapphire has been replaced by a new agent and he doesn't know why.

Steel walked through the corridors, the heels of his shoes making the walls echo until a normal being would be driven mad by the sound.  Thankfully there were no normal beings within range, just Steel and the echoes.  He felt so at loose ends these days.  Their last assignment hadn’t helped.

Stripped of their powers, their employer left them as humans to survive.  They’d last just a little over twelve hours, by his reckoning.  Yet, in those twelve hours, Steel felt more alive than he had in years.  It was as if he had been in a coma and suddenly woke.  Certainly, he didn’t want to be human, nor did he want to lose what he’d gained.
