"Wait, those guys are a part of the Brotherhood gang?" Angela took a closer look and saw the tattoos on their body, confirming what Jin said.
"Why would the Brotherhood need to poach red birds?" She asked
"Dunno, but we're going to find out soon."
Addison stepped forward and placed her hand along the barrier. She could feel her powers deactivating the longer she held her hand on the barrier. "Why would they put up a depowering barrier in this area? Are they expecting us or something?"
Jin shook his head. It was pretty common for people to activate power-dampening barriers to prevent women from harming or using their powers against them. But in this situation, it was different.
Power-dampening tools don't just work on people, but on animals as well. The same gene that gives women powers also gives animals powers, so it was common for people to set up these barriers to prevent animals from hurting them.
This was a practice used in hunting, and in this case, poaching.
