Interacting with: Ditch [@CloudyBlueDay], Wraith [@Lasrever]

[hr][hr]

As they both sat in the shadows, making small idle talk, a female voice resounded from behind them,
[color=7bcdc8]"Well, well, well. I was kinda convinced you weren't coming back after your little performance."[/color]

[color=#c2c200][b]"Wrai-"[/b][/color] Levi said but was cut off by Avery whispering to him with a closed hand, [color=#e8abff][b]"Ooh she looks pretty Levi!"[/b][/color] she stated, too loud to be a whisper, even though meant to be one. [color=#e8abff][b]"Is she your girlfriend?"[/b][/color]
[color=#c2c200][b]"No. She's not, it's one of the vigilantes called by Ditch that I told you about.."[/b][/color] he replied, lightly shaking his head.

[color=7bcdc8]"Anyway, what was I saying? Oh, right. You're the lightning guy, Levi, I think Ditch called you? And your friend here... Well, meaning no offense, I don't think I've seen you before in my life."[/color]

[color=#e8abff][b]"Don't worry about it too much! Just visiting is all."[/b][/color] Avery replied to her in a high pitched tone, a huge goofy smile forming on her face in reply to Wraith's confident smile.

[color=7bcdc8]"Oh, yeah. I don't know if you've been told our names yet, but I'm Wraith. I guess we're gonna be working together for a while."[/color] 

Levi was actually surprised someone was trying to interact with him, especially after that display, but yeah, they were going to be stuck with each other for a while, so no point in making trouble for no reason.
[color=#c2c200][b]"Likewise."[/b][/color] he replied to her with a small nod, his deadpan expression on his face instead of his glare, [color=#c2c200][b]"Ditch had already filled me in with all of who you were."[/b][/color]

[color=#e8abff][b]“Well, Miss Wraith, what are you waiting for here?”[/b][/color] Avery asked her with childlike curiosity,

There was a bit of a snort - like someone waking up suddenly, and a creaking of sorts up above. Both Levi and Avery would find their gazes travelling to the rickety platform, where a black-clothed figure stood, rubbing their head. Ditch, of course.

Wraith sighed in irritation. [color=7bcdc8]“That.”[/color] she said, gesturing in the direction of the noise.[color=7bcdc8] “I just have a few questions about later, and I thought I’d get them figured out.”[/color]

“God fucking dammit, I fell asleep.” She muttered, leaning over the railing. “Yo, Levi, Wraith. Hate to break it to you both, but there ain't gonna be a meeting here.” Ditch yawned. “When I find locations I- Hey. Who's your friend?” 

[color=#e8abff][b]“Heeey! I’m Avery, Levi’s sister of sorts~”[/b][/color] Avery said, looking at the half awake individual, holding out a hand grinning ear to ear, [color=#e8abff][b]“What’s your beautiful name?”[/b][/color] Levi sighed in the back, she got too excited for things like this and would usually step overboard, so he hoped this time she wouldn’t.

Ditch looked incredibly unimpressed as Avery stuck out her hand very exuberantly. “I thought you only had one sister, Levi.” Ditch said, resting her gaze on Sparky. She hadn’t even bothered to answer Avery’s question yet as she stuffed her laptop into her backpack and looked back at the two, stifling another yawn. “Ditch,” She said as she jumped down from the platform the same way she had two days ago. 

[color=#c2c200][b]“It’s complicated.”[/b][/color] Levi replied simply, [color=#c2c200][b]“She’s a long time friend, and my actual mentor that had help me in controlling and using my so called ‘gift’. She has the same powers as me, coincidentally enough, but alot more adept than I am.”[/b][/color] As Levi stated this, she formed a small purple-ish kitten of lightning, prancing around her arms. Avery was had the bad habit of showing off too much. [color=#c2c200][b]“Honestly though, I don’t think she’s going to stick around much, she moves around alot.”[/b][/color] Levi continued, glancing at Avery, he honestly believes that she could be more up to speed to this group’s speed, but other engagements has her tied up.

[color=#e8abff][b]“Mmm, yeah, but don’t worry you got little Levi here instead of me.”[/b][/color] Avery said, the lightning kitten now on her shoulders, she then placed her hands on top of Levi’s head and began ruffling it hard, [color=#e8abff][b]“Just here cause I was curious about Levi’s friends, is all!”[/b][/color]
[color=#c2c200][b]“Anyhow, you were saying something about a location?”[/b][/color] Levi asked, bringing the topic back to speed, and pushing off Avery’s hand, slightly embarrassed.

“Hmn. Alright.” Ditch said, seemingly amused as she watched the lightning kitten prance all over Avery. “I hope you trust her, because this place and the people who come here expect me to keep it entirely private.” Ditch muttered.

“Yeah. I’m this close to pinpointing both --” Ditch looked at Avery warily. “Both rogue’s locations. “If I hadn’t fallen asleep, I would’ve had em by now.” Ditch sighed.

[color=#c2c200][b]“Don’t worry about Avery, I trust her more than I do myself.”[/b][/color] Levi replied to the cautious Ditch, [color=#c2c200][b]“I can wait.”[/b][/color] Levi continued, plopping down onto the seat, eyeing the room around him. Avery curiously looking around the room, if they were siblings, Levi would look like the older brother.

“I’d… hmph. It’ll be a few hours minimum, you know. What time is it, anyway.” Ditch took a quick look at her watch. “10am. Yeah. Definitely not until after lunch or something. Lest I fall asleep again.” Ditch said with a shrug. “I guess you can stay for a bit, though. It’s just gonna be me digging around, nothing special.” 

She looked at Levi a little bit closer. “Huh. So your eyes glow yellow, but she’s got no glow going on, even if you have the same power?” Ditch gestured between them.

[color=#e8abff][b]“What?”[/b][/color] Avery asked, looking into Levi’s eyes deeper and leaning in close to him. They did emanate a tinge of dark-amber yellow, glowing lightly in the darkness. [color=#e8abff][b]“That’s so coool, why didn’t I get that power, I wanna have a tinge of purple coming off my eyes! I’d totally look like Cyclops.”[/b][/color] She continued, sarcastically complaining and pouting at Levi,
Levi pondered about it for a minute, and wondered himself, [color=#c2c200][b]“I have no idea, I didn’t even know they glowed…”[/b][/color] he replied, slight confusion and sincere wonder in his tone, his eyes squinting slightly. [color=#c2c200][b]“Maybe the experiments had a part…”[/b][/color] Levi trailed off, his voice tensing up now. Even Avery’s smile slightly wearing off at the mention of ‘experiments'.

Ditch’s look softened slightly as both Avery and Levi fell silent. “Shouldn’t’ve said anything.” She muttered. 

Wraith felt like this might be a good point to change the subject - experiments seemed like something she didn’t feel like getting into. Especially with the pair of lightning wielders, who she was pretty sure had something wrong with them. Clearing her throat, she awkwardly spoke up. [color=7bcdc8]“So, uh… Ditch. About the criminals, Wall Hugger and Scarlet Switcher or whatever their names were… What do you want us to do when we catch them?”[/color]

“I’m assuming if you catch them, they’ll be subdued. There’s hardly any other way you’ll get them unless they come willingly. So you can bring them here.”

Wraith barely held her smile. [color=7bcdc8]“And why are we bringing them back here, exactly?” [/color]She asked, examining her fingernails like it was a perfectly innocent question.

Ditch narrowed her eyes at Wraith. “So we can talk to them. Umbra is targeting them, and they need to know what danger they’re in. If we’re lucky, we might get a few favors from ‘em. Otherwise, my only goal here is just to make sure they’re watching their back, and ultimately help them stay away from Umbra.” 

Wraith locked eyes with Ditch, revealing the coldness that lay behind her smile. [color=7bcdc8]“Okay, let me ask you just one more question, oh fearless leader.”[/color] She said, giving up on even pretending with the friendly persona. [color=7bcdc8]“Why, exactly, do we care if they live or die? Theoretically. I mean, accidents do happen, you know?”[/color]

“Right now, all I care about is if Umbra gets them.” Ditch said bluntly. “If Umbra sinks his teeth into either of them, like I said, we're a whole other level of fucked.” Ditch gritted her teeth. “That doesn't mean you can kill them.”

Wraith let her eyes go wide and gave out an exaggerated gasp. [color=7bcdc8]“Kill them? Whatever gave you that idea? All I’m saying is that people who break the law are prone to unfortunate accidents! I am a firm believer in karma, that’s all.”[/color] She allowed a childlike grin to cross her face, looking as though she was about to burst out laughing at Ditch.[color=7bcdc8] “You can continue with whatever you were doing now. I think you’ve answered all of my questions.”[/color]

Avery had begun exploring god knows where at the hideout, but Levi stayed back and silently listened to the conversation happening between Wraith and Ditch. Alright, Levi knew he wasn’t right in the head, but Wraith took it up a notch. Under the guide of darkness, his lightning silently crackled, [color=#c2c200][b]”... I’ve read up on your cases, [i]Wraith,[/i] and have in fact visited some of the sites...”[/b][/color] Levi spoke up but then trailed off, he had a hunch that some of those ‘accidents’ were very circumstantial and convenient, [color=#c2c200][b]”I’d prefer it if we just keep them alive, and aim to maim unless it is an absolute necessity.”[/b][/color]

Wraith had to admit, she wasn’t expecting the objection from Levi. It seemed like this wasn’t a battle she was likely to win, so she decided it would be best to go along with them for now. [color=7bcdc8] “Fine. You win. No accidents unless absolutely necessary.” [/color] Technically, she wasn’t even lying. She suspected that she had a very different definition of ‘absolutely necessary’, though. 

Ditch let out a huff. She gave Levi a quick thankful nod, but otherwise, she knew she would have to keep her eye on Wraith. “I have work to do. If you're gonna stay, keep quiet.” Was all she said, clearly irritated.
