~TIMESKIP 10 YEARS~
Ten years had already passed since Luci and Bella have opened the store. They were living in the city of New York. In these ten years, they had already paid back Ancient One. They didn't earn much but it was enough for both of them. They just wanted to live freely the amount of money they earned never mattered to them. In these 10 years, they never attracted any attention towards them. To all the customers they were just kids who were in love.
Ancient One became one of their daily customers, she would come daily morning and evening and order tea and cakes. In these 10 years, Luci and Bella have understood a lot about human nature. Some were really good and some were bad while some were neither good nor bad. They also started to trust Ancient One even it was little. Ancient One also didn't bother them because she understood that they are not going to harm anyone until they cause trouble first.
Once Luci asked her what that stone was and she told him honestly because she knew that if he wanted he could take it. It would be difficult but it was not impossible for him to take the stone from her if he wanted. Ancient One never saw the details of Luci's power but she was sure that Luci was much more stronger than Bella. Ancient One tried to recruit them as protectors of the earth but they had flat out rejected her saying that they are not interested.
Two years ago Ancient One has asked them about their past to which Bella complied and told her their story. Now Ancient One understood the reason for their hatred of the human race. Luci and Bella also understood one thing about Ancient One that she was only hostile to them because they posed a threat to earth and now she was kind to them because she knows that they won't hurt anyone without reason.
Today was also a pretty normal day for both Luci and Bella the regular customers along with some new ones. Their café was doing well and they were proud of it. At first, they had some problems due to lack of technology but now they had adapted to this lifestyle. Currently, Luci was cleaning the table while he was lost in his thoughts. Suddenly the doorbell chimed indicating that someone had entered their café. Luci looked towards them and it was a woman and man. Both of them were in mid-twenties, the girl was a redhead and she had shoulder-length hair and the man had short black hair.
Luci walked up to them while they were looking around the store.
Luci: Please take a seat. What would you like to order??
Both of them looked at Luci and they could tell at first sight that this young man was not normal. Even though they were normal humans their instincts were telling them not to cause any trouble with this man. They put these thoughts behind their heads and took a seat and started looking at the menu.
Man: I would like to have a latte.
Woman: One strawberry sundae for me.
Luci: Coming right up.
Luci went inside and he asked Bella to prepare the ordered dishes. She took 5 minutes and handed him the orders. Luci walked out and placed their order on their table. The woman took a bite out of her sundae and the man took a sip of his coffee.
Woman: This is really nice.
Man: This is the best coffee I have ever had.
Luci: Thank you for your compliment, I will give your regards to Bella.
Woman: Oh so Bella is the chef??
Luci: Yes she is, I just serve and clean.
Man: I don't want to be rude but how long were you working in this café??
Luci: Hahaha… no problem. I built this café from the scratch along with Bella 10 years ago.
Woman: Wow that's long. What about your parents??
Luci: Both of our parents died when we were small.
Woman: I am sorry I didn't mean to.
Luci: You don't need to apologize, its ok and it has been long.
The man tried to change the awkward mood and extended his hands.
Man: My name is Clint Barton and this is my friend Natalie Rushman.
Luci knew that Clint lied about the woman's name but he didn't feel any malice from it so he let it be and also extended his hands.
Luci: My name is Lucifer Morningstar (II), it's nice to meet you too.
Natalie: As in the devil??
Luci: What can I say my parents liked him very much I guess?
Clint: I don't want to disrespect you or your parents but it is kind of weird.
Luci: You are not the first one to tell me that, don't worry I don't mind. So are you guys moving to NY??
Natalie: I am the one moving here. I have got a job here at school.
Luci: That must be nice, enjoy your stay here.
Natalie: Which school do you go to??
Luci: I didn't go to any schools I just learned everything from home.
Clint: You must have it hard man.
Luci: You have no idea. Sorry I have to go and take care of other stuff.
After that Luci went inside and they started to talk about other stuff. They were also finished, they left the money at the table and they left.
Clint: So what do you think?? Can they be members of the hand??
Natalie: No idea but they fit the profile they appeared out of nowhere 10 years ago.
Clint: I am starting to doubt the intel we have looked everywhere and we didn't find any signs of them anywhere.
Natalie: But we have to finish NY too. They are the best suspects we have. And that guy was giving off a dangerous feeling at first I got goosebumps.
Clint: Yes, we might need backup, that guy is dangerous. Call Jennifer and Steve here, we need to put up surveillance on them.
Natalie: I hope that they are just some random kids.
Clint: I hope so too…..
