((Part 4 of the Collab))

"Yo, hey there Rosey, been a while. Bout a year or so right?" The man said casual, giving Rose a wave and a smile" Now, wait a little longer for me, I got a year long assignment to finish."

"Are you all done talking now?" Jack asked" Can we kill you all yet?"

"Surprised you didn't try already." The man said before vanishing only to appear in front of Jack, sending a kick to her head. Her reflexes were good though and she avoided the blow while aiming a kick to his crotch, which he in turn avoided but just barely.

"Hey, hey hey, I'd rather you not hit those, that would hurt," the man responded.

"That's the point." Jack said before sending several knives of mist at the man. He knew that though they were mist, they had the sharpness of a steel blade and blew them away with a gust of wind.

"A wind mage. Rather advanced magic, isn't that?" Jack said, her tone cold.

"Advanced, useful, and it comes with alot of perks." The man replied before sending several blades of wind at the assassin. Jack ducked and dodged, moving between the blades and using Fate magic to make it easier. She realized the blades packed some punch when they put some cuts in the stone wall behind her.

"You're going to be a pain. Best to kill you quickly." She said before using her magic to send the walls of the buildings on either side of the alley to smash Rose, Amaya, and the man.

"Quit acting like I will keep waiting bastard," aaid Rose angrily balling up her fist as Amaya looked around. 

"Falling building..." she said to herself as the tempature in the alley drooppedd rapidly as ice formed in the cracks of the rubble making a tunnle of ice and rubble above her, Rose and the man without moving a figure.

"Those control lessons are really paying off; Amaya I am proud of you.." said Rose gently as Amaya looked back over her shoulder, and spoke: 

"Isnt it my duty to protect those I care for?"

"It isnt a duty it must be something you want to do on your own...seems we still have some free will training to do it seems," said Rose.

Jack was getting annoyed now but she kept her emotions in check. Getting angry would do nothing for her here, especially given the present situation. It seemed her main opponents were both powerful Matter mages, which meant her main weapon was useless. Even if she did utilize mist they would likely use it against her. This meant her only realistic option was a retreat, otherwise she would be killed or, worse, captured. Deciding neither of those sounded nice, she sent a wave of mist and dust at them, with rocks and blades concealed in them to distract everyone further.

The man blew the dust away only to have to focus on dodging or stoping the rocks and blades. By the time he looked back at where Jack had been she had vanished
"Damnit all, was hoping to capture her. Oh well, Heinz will be glad with the information I dug up." He muttered before turning to Rose and Amaya" Anyway, nice to see you girls again. Youve grown alot since I last saw you Amaya and you've grown more powerful as well."

"Well mother's training assisted me the most with my abilities they are under better control now and more useful where i am not so scared and Heniz has been great with assisting me with magic and functioning into this world so I atleast seem to fit in..."Said Amaya gently "and so I been told my form has changed from when i was first found...still dotn see how I have changed alot other then controling my abilities and gaining a will of my own and starting to make my name fit me only."She said gently

'You're still a work in progress though with healing magic but one of the best the agency has with your ice magic beside the veterans that are like old men like heniz and the president," said Rose sighing before turning to Lucus. she moved over to him before she raised a hand sending a hard slap his way "I am not a girl I am a woman and dont think for a second I will forgive you," she added lightly

"I kinda deserve that dont I?" Lucus said, rubbing his cheek were Rose had slapped him. He couldve easily dodged it but he knew Rose deserved to hurt him a little bit" Im sorry for vanishing but Heinz wanted me to investigate the person who broke into the Agency and I had to leave quietly, with no one knowing where I would be. I only just recently got enough information to return home but I was hoping to capture her as well. However that doesnt seem to be the case so Ill just have to return home as is."

"Like I said you are a bastard and I am not waiting on you this time you are going to come after me I am not waiting," she commented.

"Works with me." Lucus said before appearing in front of Rose and giving her a quick kiss on the lips" There, I came to you, that good enough."

Rose slapped him once again, backing up, wiping her lips. "That was a dirty trick Lucus...no you have to try A LOT harder then that to get me to like you again," said Rose as Amaya sighed. "Can we get going back to the Agency I dont know how long this ice will hold all the weight," she added as Rose nodded. 

"Yes we can Amaya," she added. "I need to check on Amelia's physical state," she said.

"Dont worry about the walls." Lucus said, before using his magic to get rid of Amayas ice and put the walls back where they belonged, fully repaired so that they wouldnt come crumbling down at some point on their own." Now, lets head home."

"Yes let's head home, Amaya," commented Rose gently leading the way as Amaya watched before following silently.
