She has been sitting at the table for a while when you enter the crowded bar, her eyes raking over your appearance. She looks appreciative.

"I'm glad to see that my employer is so easy on the eyes." she holds out her hand. "I'm Emma Frost, and I'm the one I believe you asked for."

You shake her hand. "Indeed. Are you the one that's used to... dealing with superpowered problems?"

"That'd be me, yes." She sighs, flicking her hair out of her face. "So... what's the problem and how long do I have?"

"Five targets, in this very city. Ten days. That's being generous." I slide her some photographs.

"Hydra, Sanguine, Phase, Phantom, Subatomic. My my, you've got powerful enemies. There's a little catch, though. The earlier price is too low. They're all allied with Magneto, and more high-tier targets than I imagined. It'll be done--- but the price has gone up."

"State your price. I wouldn't imagine why $12 million per target won't be enough."

"Well... there's the fact that I charge $12 million for local mutants.

I'm killing my own kind, in a local area where I could be incriminated, and they're high-tier compared to others. Bring in the Magneto and the anti-mutant kind angle.

That pushes it up by at least $11-12 million more. I'll set the final price at... $25 million/kill."

"$25 million... per kill?!"

"And that's without additional costs. I'll waive the additional costs if you do something with me."

"What do you mean?!" I ask

She rose from the table "Come with me."
