Ray and Kobie decided to go shopping for clothes while renovations were being made to the apartment. "Don't you think it's strange that we're getting things done easily?", Ray asked. "I'll say let's enjoy it this way and figure out how we died. At least that should give us a purpose then", Kobie replied, partially distracted by sneakers store.
A weird looking man passed by them as they were returning. "By the realms, why do you boys look alike?", he asked. "Alike?", they both said, confused. It hadn't occurred to them to look at their new looks yet. "You must be brothers! Cheeky boys", the man chuckled and left. "Do make us check our faces when we reach home, ok Ray?", Kobie begged. Ray just ruffled his hair and urged him to continue walking. By evening, they reached the apartment.
Amsterdam was quietly sitting on the porch, smoking a cigarette.
Amsterdam: Good(Gets up), thought you might not return. Anyways, it's left with the bathroom and gardens(Toying with her car keys).
Ray: What do you estimate?
Amsterdam: Maybe a hundred Jacks would do.
Ray whispered something into Kobie's ears. Kobie later on excused himself and left.
Ray: My brother has to go to work. If you come by tomorrow, you'll have it.
Amsterdam: Why should I believe you? (Glares)
Ray: (Chuckles) If giving you 1000 Jacks wasn't enough, me asking you for a job should.
Amsterdam:(Signs) I did say I was going to get you a job tomorrow. (Shrugs) Well then, I'll see you tomorrow.
Ray: Yes. Tomorrow.
They stood there in awkward silence until she brought out her hand. "I don't shake ladies, sorry", Ray apologized and stepped inside.

Kobie's POV
I gaze at my reflection. I'm clearly fairer than Ray, but he has the height and strength. My once crimson eyes are now light gold. Hmmmmmmm, such a mess for losing my beauty. Oh but I think i like this one wayyyyyy better. I'm catching the ladies more, you know.
"Damn...", Ray murmured when he entered my room. True, though he still remained the chocolate complexion, he has dark blue eyes instead of the black ones he had before. Double stress, he'll take the girls away.
We heard the door bell ring and he went to check." You are Ray right?", a calm, sweet voice echoed in the hall. "Is that the succubus?!", I asked as she entered. She wore a black suit, with a bow and a quiver of arrows slung to her back. She wore platform heels and tied up her hair into a ponytail. "I'm Cass. Actually I'm not one person. My alter ego is Nass. I'm the calm one, but she's super rowdy and harsh", she said, sitting down. "But succubus have wings", I retorted. "They won't be visible to the naked eye, but if you concentrate, you'll hear flapping", she smiled.
"I see them. They're pitch black", Ray suddenly said, crotching. She and I stared in disbelief. "Your ultra eye opened easily huh? Then Kobie's got a lot of work to do", she laughed.

Ray woke up and saw a letter on his pillow.
"Dear Ray,
You have a lot of potential. I mean it. Sorry Nass emerged ; she tends to do it unnoticed. Kobie managed to open his ultra eye, under much effort. Your lightening and water abilities will grow as you learn more. Since I'm a multipowered being, it's simple. I hope you find what you were brought back to do.
Your friend, Cass".
Friend, Ray thought to himself and slept again.
