They don't know how, but they are tied up to another chair. Sitting in a warehouse. With a gun to their head. It wasn't even their fault this time. They didn't want this fight. But his brother did.
Dennis apparently had a brother, and that brother has Ace tied up and a gun pointed to their head. They made sure to take all of Ace's cards this time. Keeping the gun aimed at them the whole time, Dennis' brother set up a projector. They put two speakers down next to Ace. Then they started playing the video.
Ace immediately knew what this was. He had someone recording what happened in that room. That fucking room. Ace would be furious right now but they cant muster up any anger. They feel the hands again. A hand holds their head in place makes them watch. Dennis' brother picks up Ace's phone and send a text to the contact labeled with a fox emoji. All they send is a location and then throw the phone Then eventually they leave without a word. All that is there is the looping video of that room, and Ace, weeping and shaking.

He isn't bothering to hesitate or prepare or go slow this time. Last time Ace sent him a cryptic text it had ended in him killing someone. As soon as he gets to the warehouse he doesn't try the windows or breaking any locks, he just disintegrates the entire garage sized door with a snap of his fingers and a glare. There is no anxiety about his magic, only one track minded rage and an urge to protect that burns hotter then the fire he creates.
The first thing his eyes are drawn to is Ace, sobbing and shaking and looking far too small. He rushes over, putting a single finger on the ropes and watching them turn to dust as he pulls his partner into his arms.
The second thing he notices is the video. He growls when he sees it, holding Ace tighter and shielding their face from it. "The pedos in this city really gotta get some new tricks, ey?"
