Subaru — Alleyway

When she heard Rinka shout, Subaru transformed and skate-dashed into the alley, arms held close in a guard. She scanned the area, finding nothing, then spun in place to face Rinka. "Are you hurt?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.

Today

Uzi, The Lair: Uzi Underground

She backs away a little when she saw the giant rat talk to her, clearly not expecting it, or him judging by the voice, to talk. She took in her surroundings, and it looked like an actual house, with all kinds of accommodations. It was a small blessing that V didn't find out where she was at, but she wondered about Fowler and his men. However, she had her worries about N. Mainly that he'd see her just... mutate and have him kill her like V tried to.

The reflection from yesterday flashed in her head and she breathed in and out before asking the "father" of the turtles, "Where am I and what do you mean by "sons"?"

Adam and the Exorcists- Brooklyn on the way to Mewtwo's Island (Flashback)

"Hey, I'm not done with you motherfuckers!" Adam exclaimed as he quickly took to the air to chase after Arcee and Asura.

He fired a few holy beams while they were riding together. Here he is willing to give this bitch a one on one and he's focused on something else? Blugh. What a bore.


Meanwhile in the sky of the island, a massive golden circle portal with a divine glow opened, revealing...skies far more brighter and colourful than the ones in Earth itself. It'd be a delight to see in calmer times if it wasn't for the fact an army of Exorcists started to fly down from it into the chaos of the Island fight itself. Leading the charge was Lute, pointing at everyone in the island with a sword and yelling.

"SINFUL FILTH LIKE YOU ALL HAS NO PLACE IN CREATION! FOR THAT, HEAVEN WILL SEND YOU ALL DOWN TO THE DAMNED EXISTENCE WHERE YOU BELONG!"

With that, the Exorcists went down to attempt attacking anyone they could come across, whenever it was the villanous trio, Yasha, or V. A few of them got hit with explosives from the missile, but while their outfit was scorched, they seemed more angered by this attempt to hurt them, and attempted to rush the drone to attempt stabbing them with a spear.

Lute- Brooklyn- Today

"Why I'm here is not your business. Heaven is making sure the mortals of Earth are safe from sinful incursions."

The angel crossed her arms as she sized up Leo. Sera told them not to interact with the mortals of Earth, just to avoid attracting attention to themselves and lessen the existence of Heaven. Of course, with the disaster of an operation that was yesterday, 'hiding' their existence was a bit complicated.

"The First Man is the Head Exorcist of the army. Of course I know where my leader is. You want to meet him for his...music?" For all the things one could ask an literal angel, she certainly didn't expected it to be music. She assumed mortals would immediately go to 'the afterlife exists?'. "...Hmph. He mentioned he approved of you wanting him to play music. As long as you do no try anything, I might just call the Head Exorcist to arrive."

Scream- East Village Warehouse (Flashback)

Scream seemed rather impressed by how agile the Lombax was. And here she instead needs the symbiote to be able to do such kind of feats. God, the way she slept was just...adorable. ...It was good nobody was around to hear that.

Oh, we did. And we can tell there's something more to this. Are you in-

Shush you. I need some sleep.

The symbiote peeled away, reverting Andi to her human self...and she almost immediately collapsed to the sofabed, the energy boost the symbiote was pumping to her that letted her stay active quickly fading away now that she wasn't in this form. Fuck, this was really a long day if she's now like this...

...And just in a minute, she quickly fell to sleep.

Scream- ??? [Modern Day]

Duke would be hearing his phone ringing. If the King went to check it out, it seemed to be the same number he got from the symbiote woman.

Arcee: Mewtwo's Island (Flashback)

She flagrantly ignored Adam's parting attacks, swerving atop the water to avoid them. Soon, she and Asura were at the island, and she transformed swiftly without stopping; catching him in her hand before digging her heels into the ground to skid to a stop, then placing him down. Deploying her blasters, she nodded at him, then glanced up at the sky portal as an entire army flew through.

"Looks like they're occupied! Take care of them, I'll look for Mithra!" she said, ducking between buildings to avoid the onslaught from the various villains as she began making her way towards Mithra's life signature. "If things get too crazy, I'll call for backup from Optimus!"

Hopefully we won't have to, she mused to herself, sneakily darting from cover to cover while using the noise of the heavenly onslaught to cover her footsteps. Despite being an eight-foot-tall mechanoid with glowing blue eyes, she was dark and nimble enough to be surprisingly stealthy. With this in mind, she switched one blaster out for an arm-blade as she got closer, seeing who she assumed to be Mithra teleported away from the clutches of a skeletal figure by a floating alien, and then left behind as it warped back to where it had come from.

She shook her head, baffled by the powers at play here. Nevertheless, this was her chance. Creeping up close to Mithra, she transformed into her motorcycle form in a shadowy spot, pretending to be a parked vehicle as her holographic human form fizzled into existence, running towards the girl and calling out to her with an urgent whisper. Mithra would see a woman with dyed blue and pink hair in a motorcycle jacket running up to her from a nearby alley.

"Hey! Mithra? Hurry over to the bike, I'll get you out of here!" she insisted, careful not to touch her lest her incorporeal form frighten the girl. "It's okay, I'm with Asura! He's ready to fight those scraplets off!"


Rivet: East Village Warehouse (Present Day)

At some point in the early morning, Rivet did the exact opposite of what she promised wouldn't happen the night before, and rolled over while she was waking up and promptly crashed onto the floor below, missing the soft couch by a comically narrow degree. Groaning, she picked herself up, shaking off the impact as her Nanotech healed her, and she grumbled as she stretched and rolled her shoulder.

"Aw man... okay that's why we have beds. Thanks for reminding me, rafters...!"

She shook her fist skywards at the offending beam above, before sighing and walking over to a computer terminal she had zapped into place the previous night. It had a decent holoscreen and was already hooked up to the Internet, piggybacking off of a couple local routers. Crude, but effective, and befittingly underground.

Regardless of if Scream was around or not, Rivet would get to work in setting the warehouse up to be more secure: before noon, she was up a ladder with a scredriver in her mouth putting the finishing touches on a security alarm and automated turret system. Which was just the start.

Yesterday

V, Skies Above Mewtwo's Island: Ride of the Steel Valkyrie

As N searched the island for, whatever it is, V didn't know. But with the swarm of angels emerging from the portal and a demand from one of them that everyone on the island be exterminated, she didn't have to. Her visor turned from a pair of eyes to a wide yellow "X" and her smile grew wide enough to show off her fangs. Her arms morphed into claws as she sees a group of Exorcists approach her. Finally, a chance to cut loose.

Seeing them coming, she swiftly dodged out of the way of the spear and used her claws to slash at the Exorcists before flying into the thick of it with guns blazing, literally. Quickly, she picked up who the leader of this squadron is and opened fire on her.

Leo (Present Day, Brooklyn)

"Well, duh," Leo said with a shrug. "Why else would I— Ohhh." Suddenly, he got it. "You think I'm gonna be surprised angels exist?" He actually giggled at that thought. "Don't worry about it! Back in the first three Ages of Heroes, good guys and bad guys died and came back all the time. This one got resurrected by a magical amulet, that one turned out to be a clone all along, this one clawed his way out of Hell—" Leo waved a hand around. "Y'know, stuff like that. So yeah, I'm not particularly surprised angels and Heaven are real."

It took a second for the other thing the angel said to register.

"Oh, yeah, promise I won't try anything. I swear it. I'd do a pinkie promise, but..." He held up a three-fingered hand. "I've got no pinkies. So you can see why that would be challenging."


??? (Present Day, The Alleyway)

Looking around, senses sharpened for anything strange, Rinka...might be able to notice something. Or rather, someone. A shape, hiding in the shadows cast by the nearby fire escape and invisible to the untrained eye. They clung to the wall, seemingly watching. Waiting for her and Subaru to leave, most likely. They looked humanoid, based on what she could discern...

...but not human.

"I'm fine, thanks, Subaru, but..." Rinka answered quickly, then trailed off as she examined the surrounding environment closely, then zeroed in on the suspicious non-human figure in the shadows.

"There!" she declared, pointing at what she saw as much for attempted intimidation purposes as for her friend's benefit. "Get back here and give back my customer's order, you— you ninja pizza thief!"

Mewtwo's Island - Flashback (Yasha...and Asura)

Two words escapes Mithra's throat as she reappears from Mewtwo's teleport.

"UNCLE YASHA!"

As soon as Mithra is out of harm's way, Yasha finally starts defending himself. Slashing his hands wildly, the blue demigod bats away several of Mewtwo's blasts, even managing to keep Skeletor's beams at bay for a few moments with his own trails of mantra. The barrage quickly overwhelms him, however, and the combined blasts of Mewtwo and Bowser soon completely envelop the warrior in a blast of darkness and flames. As the smoke clears and Yasha falls to the ground, the assembled villains may become aware of another sound from the sidelines.

Mithra has started crying.

As the drones engage Adam's Exorcists, an enraged yell booms out over the battlefield.

"Worthless scum!"

Oh.

Asura leaps from Arcee, soaring straight towards the villainous trio with all six arms ready to strike.

"I'll kill you all!"

As he lands, Asura slams the ground with all six fists, producing a massive blast of red mantra on impact in the middle of all three foes.

Between her tears, Mithra turns her attention to the mysterious woman.

"If...you're with Father, than...okay. I trust you."

With that, Mithra approaches the woman and her bike.

Team Bandicoot-Day 1-West-Rooftop Revelations

Crash stopped his attempted (read:probably doomed to fail) rousing of the gang leader to return Mikey's shy wave with a wave that was a good deal more enthusiastic. Deciding the poor kid needed a pick-me-up, Crash then hands Mikey the wumpa fruit he had been holding, before fishing another fruit from his pocket to continue trying to wake the gang leader up.

While Crash returned to his (again:doomed) endeavor, Tawna listened to the Turtle's explanation of the mutant situation in New York with raised brows. When Tawna had said NYC was her kind of city, she hadn't expected it to be in the "this city is apparently filled with mutants" way.

Tawna then took Bunnie's hand as she extended it, giving it a solid shake-though she gave the cybunny a questioning look as she said the daenmgoenl was the only mutant here-and brought up mobians again.

"Sorry, but we still don't know what a Mobian is. But now I've got to ask-are you not a mutant, Bunnie? Because we all are," and here Tawna motions to herself, Crash and the Turtles. "Well, everyone except Aku and....whatever, uh, mister Demon Yankee is. I'm gonna wager something biblical."

"And there's nothing to apologize for, Mikey" she says, turning to the Turtle in question, her voice matching his in sincerity, "seeing as Crash and I used to be regular Bandicoots too. But you guys are saying humans are being mutated into animals and attacking the city?"

Tawna folds her arm, her face turns contemplative. "How long has this been going on for? Because we just got word that the mad scientist who mutated us is here in New York. He claims he's turned over a new leaf after we kicked his butt for trying to take over the world, but I've got my suspicions-even more, now that I know this is going on."

While Tawna let that sink in, Aku took a moment to answer Raph. "To answer your question, young Raph, the Zone Cops are indeed, "the good guys". They perform an important duty, essential to keeping the vast multiverse safe-and stable," he explains sagely, before bemusedly adding"Though woe be unto those who are forced to deal with the multiversal red tape that comes with meeting them."

Bunnie, Rooftops — Day 1

"Ahm' tellin' ya, ah ain't no mutant! Least I don't think I am anyhow. Sure you folks never heard o' Mobius? Big green statue, lots o' critters, can't miss it..."

She started to think. She was sure she wasn't a mutant. She didn't have six fingers or anything. But most of these folks were clearly Mobians. She wondered what Tails would say. There had to be an explanation but she'd be darned if she could figure out it out.

"Zone Cops are a mixed bag hon. Ain't evil or nuthin' but they sure get in your craw. Kept whiskin' us away to who knows where without so much as a touch o' warnin'! Couldn't even keep one nasty varmint under lock an' key. Ain't no clue where they is now..."

She couldn't help but shudder. Just imagining that monster running around free was enough to make her hairs stand on end. She hadn't thought about him in so long but it hadn't reduced her urge to strangle him.

The Plot Thickens (Rooftops, Yesterday)

"O-oh, um—" Mikey blinked in surprise at suddenly being handed what looked like a cross between an apple and a mango. "Um, thanks!" He turned it around in his hands curiously. "What...is it?"

Leo frowned at Tawna's question, putting a finger to his chin. "Well, we first started crime-fighting in early September—that was when we first saw someone mutate. Scared the bejeebus out of all of us."

"Didn't need t' mention that part," Raph grumbled.

Carrying on as though Raph had never spoken, Leo continued, "And after that, the reports kept trickling in of new mutants. We've been trying to track down who did it, maybe even find out where the ooze that changed us came from, and..." He blinked in dawning realization, then grinned. "And I think we just found our lead." He looked over at Tawna. "Any chance you could tell us where this mad scientist has set up shop?"

Donnie, meanwhile, had turned his attention to Bunnie. I had my suspicions before...but this confirms it. "I believe I can answer that—would this 'Mobius' happen to be a planet?"

Under the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan [Day 1]

It's the contact, finally! She disappeared for the whole day!

"It's your contact - 'Guardian Angel.' I'm...sorry that I fell off the grid. Things came up, I was...managing other contacts. What...came of the crystal? I was hoping to keep it out of Hyperion's possession."

She pauses.

"...Barring that, Jack is still an existential threat. If you're interested in other means of fighting him. The Psychonauts will have their hands full if Jack gets what he's after...it's a second Vault. I'm assuming you know Jack's story of opening The Vault in Pandora County. Jack wants to open a second one, but he needs to charge the Key. It’s possible that Crystal’s energy may have been compatible. We won’t get a chance to find that, but neither will he. Still, he’ll find something eventually if his stockpile of eridium doesn’t cut it."

In The Before Times, With Belial The Menace

   "You already had a target on your back - shell? - when you first came there."    Belial replied to Leo with a shrug.    "Your new angel pal will string you up by your bandana the moment you don't agree with him. Say, on killing people."    Of course, he was pretty kill-happy himself (some souls would really hit the spot now), but that was neither here nor there.

   "Teach me a lesson for standing there and minding my own business, Bugs Bunny."    He stressed the important (and somewhat true) part to Bunnie, but soon other topics revealed themselves. Like this floating mask thingy knowing who he was.    "...it's not even been 24 hours, but apparently I'm a superstar everybody knows. Dickmaster up there, Grim Floofer in the alley, now Ooga-Booga over here... what is this, the end times?"   

   "Fine, be uncooperative like that."    He huffed.    "Belial, currently on the run from Heaven for daring to exist. They're cool customers like that, with their feathers all ruffled."    Crash and Tawna and Aku-Aku didn't tell him much from their names, but the turtles...    "...do you... have a cousin named Andy, per chance? Asking out of curiosity."    He asked the tortoises. Soon after however, the discussion went elsewhere again.

   "I am not a mutant; your Halloween mask over there actually is spot-on on naming. Half-angel, half-devil, all the cons and no perks."    He didn't sound too broken up about it, surprisingly, besides his usual grouching.    "When I think "mutant", I think a misbegotten spawn from the deepest pits of Purgatorio. Giger plus Picasso plus 27 Days Later. Not a likeness of some kid's plushie."   

Whoever the Zone Cops were, it seemed they weren't doing a very good job, and one of their prisoners in particular got under Bunnie's skin...    "Let's start on the other foot, Bunnynator. I am something of a pest control specialist myself. Tell me what your nemesis looks like; I'll serve him well-done for you, free of charge. That, or make a taxidermy of a guy."    A spanky shotgun escaped from the eldritch realm of hammerspace, letting Belial do a fancy twirl with his newly acquired gun.    "The local bigwig - Hardass Jake or other - so kindly let me volunteer this thing right out of his hands. I think it itches for a villain to put down."

Mewtwo, Mewtwo's Island (Past)

Mewtwo let out a short chuckle of satisfaction as he saw Yasha fall...then groaned as he saw the portal open up and the armies of heaven begin to rush out of the sky, as well as V flying in to battle them.

"Are you kidding me? Why is everyone showing up except for the one person we actually planned for?!?"

He lashed out at any Excorcists which came near him with powerful blasts of psychic energy sure to send them careening away, largely too busy with this to notice Arcee coming close to Mithra. However, his attention quickly turned to Asura when the furious warrior finally made his presence none.

"Speak of the devil...do you have any IDEA how late you are for this?" Mewtwo growled, only for Asura to immediately release a massive blast of energy that forced the psychic being to quickly conjure a glowing barrier around himself to block the explosion. Whether it was enough to shatter the barrier or whether it just barely held tight, Mewtwo would retaliate by teleporting up close to Asura and unleashing another psychic blast, albeit after taking a few moments to get his bearings and recover in the former case.

Mewtwo's Island

   "It's called a bluff, you incompetent!"    Skeletor groused at Mewtwo as he poured more power into his skull-lasers to hopefully finish off Yasha for good. As the portal above opened and a Heavenly army poured through with its leader declaring effectively everyone on the island a target, the Overlord of Evil turned from administering death to Mithra's uncle, only to spot some skank on a motrobike approaching the girl, and an incoming Asura roaring his fury for all to hear!

   "Nyeh!"    the blue-skinned sorceror sneered, raising his staff and calling up a pair of bright purple, hexagonal barriers to shield himself and Bowser, who he figured didn't have any equivalent defensive abilities, unlike Mewtwo. His intervention proved to be timely and just enough to block the wave of energy Asura released, though the barrier shattered in the wake of the demigod's attack and the aftershock rattled the skull-faced man's bones. Without a moment to spare, given the likely follow-up attack from their now-numerous enemies, Skeletor summoned his magic and quickly teleported over to Mithra.

   "None of that, you interfering insect!"    he boomed, waving a hand and sending a blast of energy toward the apparent rider's metal steed, enough to obliterate any ordinary Earth vehicle. In the next breath, he was moving for Mithra once again, using his sorcerous implement to tractor-beam her to his grip if she attempted to dart away.

   "Nice of you to finally join us, Asura!"    Skeletor shouted mockingly to their most prominent enemy over the cacophony of battle surrounding them, holding the ram's skull head of the Havoc Staff to his hostage's head, its empty eyes glowing ominously.    "Now hold still and take my allies' attacks until you join Yasha in the grave, or your daughter's life is forfeit! Myahahahahahaha!"   

Unfortunately for the villainous magician, he'd turned his back on what he assumed to be an ordinary motorcycle that was actually a Robot In Disguise...

Arcee: Mewtwo's Island (Flashback)

Her holoform had almost gotten Mithra to the safety of her altmode, when Rattleton Bonesworthy the Magic Skeleton decided to make his uncalled-for entrance. As he attacked, the impact of his magic blast shrouded the bike in a shower of dust, obscuring it from view for a moment as he grabbed Mithra and held her hostage again. Once he turned his back, however, the holographic form of Sadie disappeared, and there was the muffled sound of shifting components behind him—the eerie whine of convering energy piercing through the cacopony of the battle, frighteningly close to the skeletal mage's position.

It was his only warning before Arcee's metallic hand clasped around Mithra's body to prise her from his grip, at the same time as she fired three Energon blasts into him at point-blank range, carefully angled to avoid hitting Mithra in the process.

"Hands off!" she furiously commanded, visibly scuffed and dirtied by his earlier blast at her vehicle mode, but otherwise unharmed. "Asura! Get him!!"

If she had the chance to get away with Mithra after firing her blasts, she would do so with a strong jump backwards to distance herself from Skeletor, then transform into her vehicle mode and place Mithra in the saddle so that they could speed off. Whether anyone intervened in the meantime was another matter entirely.

Mewtwo's Island

Upside, blue guy went down. Downside, giant swarm of winged bitches emerged from the sky. For a second he'd almost sworn they were descending from Star Haven, but they didn't look like any kind of Star Spirit he'd ever heard of.

Whatever they were, they were annoying. Not dangerous, though. Swords and spears couldn't so much as scratch his mighty shell, and he was strong enough to swat them out of the way with ease, claws shredding any exorcist foolish enough to get close.

"Who the fuck are you?" He asked, preparing to blast more fire at the woman who seemed to be in charge. But then someone else engaged her, and more importantly, Asura appeared.

Bowser quickly ducked into his shell to let the energy blast wash over him. Between that and Skeletor's barrier, he was unscathed.

"Gwar har har! Finally! Round two, asshole!" He spun forwards and emerged from his shell sprinting, ready to meet their target head on, leaping into a flying dropkick.

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

"Glad you're alright," Subaru mumbled to Rinka. She looked where her friend was pointing and, now that she knew where to look, saw the shadow form too.

"Do you mind coming out here?" she half-said, half-shouted to the hidden figure. "I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding and we can talk this through." She kept her arms by her side and her posture loose, trying to look as nonthreatening as possible.

The figure in the shadows froze at Rinka's shout, beginning to visibly tremble when Subaru spoke—he seemed a lot more afraid of them than they were of him. He didn't respond for one, two, three, several seconds.

And then in a blur of movement, he dashed out from his hiding place and dropped down the nearby manhole, the cover coming down behind him with a loud clatter.

Oops. Looks like he'd been a little too spooked.

Lenox Hill, Alleyway

"Wha—?!" Rinka bit back her surprise as their mystery interloper vanished down a manhole in the pavement. Lucky that it had been audible, or she might not have been able to even track his movements, with how fast he was.

"The sewers..." she contemplated for a couple beats, then sprinted over to the hole she'd heard move, going so far as to lay on the alley floor and lean down to stick her head through the manhole cover to see what was on the other side (go-go intangibility powers!). She wasn't about to let that thieving ninja get away without a chase!

Exit: Stage Left (The Sewers)

Rinka wouldn't be able to see anyone directly downward—the ninja had fled fast. But she might be able to hear rapid footsteps, coming from the left of the tunnel. And, should she look, she'd see the tails of a orange mask disappearing around a corner.

Well. That seemed as good a lead as any.

Lenox Hill, Alleyway -> Sewers

Aha! Got you! Rinka thought smugly, then, holding on to the pavement with her hands, swung the rest of her body down into the sewer, and proceeded to quickly lower her hands one by one to grip the rungs of the ladder leading down. Quickly popping up the manhole cover and moving it to the side, she motioned for Subaru to follow, then dropped down to land with bent knee on the side of the surprisingly spacious underground. Moving as rapidly as she could while still remaining quiet, she hurried in the direction she'd seen the creature disappear to and poked her head around the corner to check where he was headed, wrinkling her nose at the smell.

Adam- Mewtwo's Island (Flashback)

Lute had taken notice of V coming her way after a few Exorcists were temporarily stunned by the surprise attack from the drone and knocked back. Her helmet's expression shifted to one of disgust and hate, before she quickly dashed in to V's way, sword raised to stab mercilessly, the bullets hitting her body, though it seemed like her angelic durability helped her power through the damage it did.

"PERISH!"

Meanwhile, the Exorcist keep their assault, though a few amount of the murderous angelic women were caught off guard by Mewtwo's and Bowser's force. Even some seemed to look at each other in surprise as they glanced at some of the golden blood dripping from their bodies. It seemed like the Mantra flowing within the two's bodies helped them get through their divine durability.

Of course, then came Adam after finally managing to catch up with Asura and Arcee, a frown on his face at his one on one being cut off...though then his mood increased significantly seeing there was some fucks fighting with his girls. Guess they weren't the Deadly Sins, but hey, gotta keep Sera happy by killing some sinful fucks who could endanger the cosmos. And look at that, they're too busy fighting each other! Hell yeah! He quickly raised his hands as he immediately started firing a barrage of Holy blasts from his hands, serving as aerial artillery to cover his Exorcists and aiming the divine blasts at whoever was in his sights. That angry ass bitch, that weirdo with a edgy ass skull for a head, that literal fucking cat furry floating around, and that big ass turtle he's gonna make turtle soup! None are leaving this slaughterhouse alive!

"SUCK MY HOLY LIGHT, FUCKERS! YEAH!"

Lute- Brooklyn

Leo could see the angel's face...or well, helmet, twitch as he explained why he didn't exactly seemed to care about the literal revelation that Heaven exists. Oh, she very much didn't liked at all what she heard, but atleast she seemed to control herself, if barely, not to lash out at someone she considered an 'innocent'.

"...I see. The Head Seraphim of Heaven will be informed of this information when I get the chance." Lute huffed, just giving a slight nod to Leo's no pinkie but still pinkie promise. She touched her halo, as it glowed for a moment. It'd stop glowing once she stopped putting a hand on it, and for a moment nothing would happen...until a small divine portal opened up near them. Leo would see Adam come out of it, holding a soda, though interestingly, it seemed he did not had his signature helmet, revealing his human face...and oh boy, that's a black eye on his right side. Whatever brawl he had, he certainly didn't came out of it unscathed.

"Fucking hell, Lute, what is it? The fucking cherubs haven't gotten my damn fucking replacement helmet up yet!"

"Forgive me, sir, but I believe you've got a fan-"

"Yeah, but I'm fucking sure all my fans are in Heaven, not-"

"Sir. It's the one from the diner. The mortal one from yersterday."

Adam paused, glancing to where Lute was looking, until he took notice of Leo. Even if he looked a bit grumpy, a smirk seemed to form on his face, atleast somewhat lightened up. "Oh, sup, you're the turtle bitch from yesterday! What you fucking here for, my man? I can't deny I'm a bit charmed, but I was having a fucking break here."

Scream- East Village Warehouse

Andi, having gotten up, was leaning on a nearby wall, phone in hand as she was trying to call Duke. Having scrolled through the internet, she certainly wasn't a fucking fan of being called a bad guy by some rich corpo fucker who thinks he knows better than anyone. Fuck his 'peace offering', far as she's concerned, she'd rather see him and everything he has burn.

Soon as Duke picked up and answered, Andi spoke once he was done. "Got it. I'll be on the way in just a few minutes."

....Sparky? ...Fuck me.

She seemed to have picked up on that, and a wistful smile fell on her face as she was hanging up....before then suddenly yelling a scared "OH FUCK!" as a furball fell to the floor from such a height...which after a few seconds, got up like nothing happened. Shit. And here she thought she was a fast healer.

"Hey, Riv. On the bright side, there was no rocket launcher misfire involved." She gave a small wave to Rivet as she walked up to where she was working, looking at what she was working on with curiosity and interest.

Rivet: East Village Warehouse

"Yeah I guessed so. You look like you're in one piece," Rivet replied, glancing at Andi briefly before looking back at her work, smiling softly. "There's that face. Almost forgot, so used to seeing you and ol' Slimey at once. Have a good night? Hope that couch wasn't too bad."

At that moment, she was finishing installing a fusebox, tweaking some of the configurations before she finally flipped a few switches and then shut and locked the case. Immediately, numerous turrets popped out of the walls and ceiling, calibrating themselves for a few moments before retracting back into place; seamlessly blending in with their surfaces.

"Phew. Okay, those are set up. If any nasties try and break in, well..." she gestured vaguely. "There's some threat level detection. Some of 'em have capture nets. Most of them are just guns. I'll probably make sure to put up some warning signs outside... y'know, 'caution', 'do not enter', 'sweet merciful Zoni total body disruption ahead'..."

She shrugged, placing her hands on her hips as she turned to Andi.

"Anyway, just some peace of mind. So, what're we doing today, do ya think? Seeing the sights again, making trouble...?"
