Two days prior to the gang's group outing.
Darren Joo stares at his buzzing phone, on the screen is an unfamiliar number, he cuts the call only for another to come through immediately after, picking reluctantly a familiar voice he couldn't seem to quite recall filters through,
"Darren Joo, i'm calling to propose a deal", Darren stays his words to probe the caller before changing his question, "What deal?"
"I simply wish to give you what you want"
"Which is?"
"Raven Voss"
PRESENT TIME
Raven heads over towards the given location with haste while Kaytlin informs the others, James learning of this jacks the nearest power bike before following with haste towards the location.
Dennis stares down at the message he'd recieved on chat from a seemingly random number, he knew instinctively who it was, there's no way he wouldn't,
"'Stop running away like a little bitch and let's settle this, i'll be waiting just after Arinx store street five'", glancing at the text he turns his phone off before heading over to the location, (Let's settle this shit!),
Yanick and Konan make their way over to Oren's RUNAWAYS after reviewing the call from Warden,
"Oren's RUNAWAYS are mainly stationed at the east side of belgrade right?" Yanick inquires
"Yeah, they'll meet us there" Konan replies before a notification pops up on his screen freezing him in place,
"Konan what's wrong?"
"Anna!, She's in trouble!" He exclaims
"What's the matter?"
"She didn't say only sent a location"
"Where too?"
"Arinx store, street five"
"That store should be closed by now, why there?"
"That doesn't matter i have to go!" Konan states attempting to move but Yanick holds him in place,
"you're the smart one, if anyone can figure out how to win this war its you i'll go" Yanick states
"I'm pretty sure what's required now is strength" Konan rebuttals
"All the more reason why i should go" Yanick replies his face abnormally devoid of emotion,
"Alright" Konan nods before handing Yanick her contact details and replying to her text, Konan makes his way down towards Warden and co while Yanick frowns changing direction towards the given location,
(Arinx store on fifth street?, I don't know, something's not right).
The door pushes open Jay steps in through his gaze finding the girl seated on a roller chair staring at her phone,
"Selling more stockings?" He inquires, Becky looks up at him wordlessly before returning her gaze to her phone,
"Why are you here?"
"To take you back home of course"
"Why should you care?, This works better for you last yime i checked" she states
"Let's just say bringing you in absolves me of any potential discomfort"
"Awww who would've thought it, the great Jayson Ross's consience not letting him rest" she mocks, "how about it Jayson Ross?"
"About what?" Jayson questions now frowning
"How about the 'girl' who cries wolf tells you a story?, Here's the game tell me if I'm lying or not", Jayson stares at Becky who meets his stare wordlessly, taking his silence as acceptance she begins,
"Once upon a time there was a girls named Becky, she was born to an average family and as you can tell she herself was average, at the very least things where peaceful, on the surface, her father was a cronic drunk and even worse when he became drunk he was an abuser", Jay leans looking away as he packs her stuff into her bag,
"i don't believe you", he states but his words go unanswered as the story continues,
"Her mother finally had enough, she died, but her death only made things worse, with no one to vent on the only option was naturally her, and whenever he got drunk it wen from abuser to molester" now tell me Jayson Ross am i lying she questions, Jayson still engrossed on packing things up gives his reply,
"I'm sure you're ly...." He freezes having turned to the girl to see her left her shirt with scars running down her abdomen and tears staining her face, his mind works like clock work to signal the lie but he knew on instinct she wasn't lying.
"Jay!" Raven calls stepping into the room before giving the two a curious look, "seems you're ready to go, c'mon let's get her to Anna's place then go help the oth..."
"I can't!" Jay interjects, "come out with me for a little bit" he states, the two step out and Jay closes the door behind him,
"You should know whatever she told you is probably a lie" Raven states, "i don't know what you've heard but i need to take her back to her dad"
"I can't let you do that" Jay replies
"Then tell me, what did she say?" Raven questions
"I can't tell you that, it's not my place, even if i could, it's not like you'd believe her",
"I'll just go ask her myself",
"If she tells you the truth, would you believe her?" Jay questions,
"If, if i see proof then...." He trails unable to fathom what her father could have possibly done, "no matter what she did, surely they can sort things out after we take her back", he concludes
"I see" Jay locks the door before his fist smashes the handle rending it from it's place and jamming the door in place,
"If you're going to be taking her anywhere it's after you're done with me"
"If you want ro fight, there's no need to use her as an excuse" Ravem replies as his fist crashes against Jay's plexus pushing him back four feet,
"Come to think of it we never finished out fight" Jay states staring Raven who looks shocked at Jay's unconcerned face and the shuffling steam, "you lot where hiding quite the secret, i always wondered about your inconceivable strength, Shifters?, was it?" He questions rhetorically.
James arrives before the complex but the sound of another bikes roar makes him unable to head up towards Becky's room, ge turns to find Darren and immediately his lips dip,
(So it was a trap?, They baited us with Becky, is he with them or us? No it doesn't matter, he hetes us just as much as them, he's definitely with them), James concludes staring down Darren as his bike picks up speed once he spots James.
Yanick arrives at fifty frowning at the sight of several teens their age floored, battered, bloodied and disabled most from their shoulders or knees, his eyes nlaze as he spots Dennis holding another teen in an arm lock as he questions him fiercely,
"Where is he?!" He growls,
"P.. please i don't know!" The teen cries begging profusely as Dennis increase pressure, Dennis falls back on instinct as his eyes quickly find the attacker, Yanick.
"Dis you do this?" Yanick questions his eyes blazing,
"Are you dumb?" Dennis replies mockingly, "who else?",
"I might just kill you" Yanick seethes,
"You overestimate yourself" Dennis growls
"I should say the same to you, i always wonder to myself, 'why does someone as weak as you try so desperately to play the bad guy?', at least if you're going to be an asshole have the strength to back it up", Dennis chuckles as his furu boils,
"You know it's funny, if i uad normal eyes I'd have no need to wear shades, but no matter i see fine in the dark, let me ask you this, can you see my eyes?",
".....",
Taking Yanicks silence as confirmation Dennis walks over to the store's glass before throwing a punch that revebrates across the glass shattering it, Yanick shields his face as infinite glass shards go flying,
"Let's play, losser get's disabled" Dennis's chuckle booms.
Jaime sits puffing on a cigar as news from the various battlefields reach him,
"You've outdone yourself" Oren calls,
"Oh this is well within my abilities" Jaime replies,
"The reinforcements?" Oren questions
"I have them all on stand by, the moment they're done fighting amongst themselves or unite they'll be swarmed" Jaime replies,
"Very well, it seems my part of this play comes next, afterall i need to be well prepared to recieve the Big Daddy himself" Oren chuckles,
Jaime stares at the borde before him puffing lightly on his burning cigar,
(Well then, let the games begin!)
