Sorry for the wait, a lot of wacky and crazy things happened this last week for me, kind of. Some power stones might help me out? Maybe? Power stones?!
—————————
It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to convince two troublesome teenagers to stop committing crimes. I help them get to Dracula, and they will be good boys. Simple as that.
I definitely had to explain to them that they were nowhere near strong enough to kill Dracula. They understood that and told me that they were working on that.
I'll help them out later, right now, I need to talk to the president. I was standing in a phone booth and turned the rotary dial to a specific set of numbers.
After that, I picked up the phone and waited.
"What's up Billy? You find any trouble?"
"No sir. Just a few troublemakers. Nothing to worry yourself about."
"That's what I like to hear. Get back to your station in the next week, we'll be needing you for a bigger role."
And with that, he hung up on me. I wanted to ask what that meant, but oh well. I'll figure it out anyway when I get back to my home country.
Now I had to figure out what to do, I still had a day until I kick it with the twins.
The first thing that came to mind was to just admire the scenery. I stepped out of the booth and walked around.
Everything looked pretty nice, but I didn't see anything that quite moved me. I didn't sense anything paranormal either, so I definitely wouldn't see anything interesting.

"You have too much trust in Billy Loomis."
"No, I think you have too little trust in him." The two vampiric brothers were clearly having a quarrel about our friendly neighborhood protagonist.
The two were in an undisclosed location.
"Billy Loomis is literally a prophet. How do you not trust him?"
"As far as I remember, Jesus didn't shoot funny quips from his mouth every five seconds. And Jesus wasn't an asshole."
"All very good points, but regardless, Billy is a prophet. You should trust him Kurt."
"It's not that I don't trust him. I'm worried. He's very powerful. Powerful enough to kill us both while hog tied."
"You're over exaggerating. It's two versus one. An easy fight."
"It's the stupid shit that you say that'll get us killed."

'Mm, scan the other one.'
[Name: Kurt Kroft]

"Alright you two. Show me what you can do, and I'll tell you how bad Dracula would murder you." I joked.
They didn't seem to appreciate it.
"Just go." At the moment, we were located in an old and abandoned building. We're here to see what exactly they can do.
Regardless, they're still too weak to take down any major MCU character. Even Black Widow would kick their asses with her martial arts alone. She can't beat them at the same time though.
Pietro started off first and walked towards the middle of the open area in the room, and stood in a red circle that I made. Kurt followed shortly after.
Their feet started to shake for a few seconds, before both of their whole bodies started to levitate above the ground. They clearly had no trouble levitating, but how about flying?
"Move around a bit." They looked at me for a split second, before they started levitating himself across every inch of the room.
"Alright stop, follow me." I exited the room and walked in the open area outside the building, the brothers in tow.
I stopped a few feet away from the building while facing the open area and the the twins.
"You see that roof? Fly around the building five times and then go to the room." They looked flabbergasted.
"We may be able to levitate very well, but flying high levels so many times seems so impossible." Kurt spoke, uncertainty clearly evident in his voice.
"Well, I have to go soon, so I guess I can leave early and you guys never get Drac's whereabouts."
"Well if you leave early, we'll just continue to commit crimes to get what we need." A silence loomed over the area.
I broke that silence with an out of place chuckle, which then turned into a small fit of laughter.
"Sorry, it's just. I have no problems with Dracula, and I work for the government. If you cause some trouble, no one would notice if you, disappeared."
The two let my words really sink in.
Many years ago, I orphaned thousands of children in less than 10 seconds. These kids parents are already gone, why not get rid of them?
"I see, it's a one sided battle. Fine, we'll do it." They didn't argue any longer and finally did what I asked them. They walked past me and closed to the building. I turned to look at them as they went.
I felt a shift in the air as their feet left the ground and ascended towards the roof. Off-rip, I could see the struggles they were having.
On the surface, it didn't look that bad, their bodies were shaking a little bit, but nothing else was really notable.
If you look harder however, the speed they levitated around small distances and are currently flying around the building to get to the roof, is significantly less.
That was to be expected, but still.
Only 30 minutes later, did the brothers finish the assignment I gave them. I didn't think it would take them this long. They could just be out of shape.
"Well, it's clear that flying is a skill that you lack in terribly. So how about this, every day for the this month and the next, I need you to fly around this building, but increase it by five everyday."
Unlike before, they didn't argue with me. How would they beat Dracula if they can't fly? I think they realized that fully.
"Now, you two get to it tomorrow. I'll enjoy my last few days in London. Don't slack off, I'll know. Bye!" I walked away from the area and went on to enjoy the last few days I had before I needed to leave.
I'll come back next month and improve their training.
