An hour plus later in NYC

With their bikes parked down in central booking’s lower garage the pair made their way to the looker room and changed into NYPD uniforms that were more SWAT than street styled with a slightly thicker vest with combat system of pouches covering it. When all was done, they opened the envelope the chief had given them.

Rohanna read it and realized that the chief really meant all of the plan was secret! He did not even tell the other guards in their van or the drivers and just told them to show up, wait for whoever had this letter and then go. Then add the big thing, this letter was the only thing starting the whole process…the twins were the only ones outside of his small office that knew the whole plan!

The only thing or item pre-set was the vans needed for transport! Even the prison did not know this was coming and certainly ‘Force Fist’ did not know what was coming this early morning!

Rohanna walked into the office of the head of Central booking and Rehanna walked in behind her, then closed the door. He asked instantly, “What is this and what do you need?”

“Read this and call if you need to verify it.” Rohanna asked, handing him the letter.

He took it, obviously reread it at least twice and then made a call to One PP to talk to the chief personally on the matter. He was put through in seconds as the chief was waiting for this call, the man in charge of Central booking only needed a minute to catch up, then hung up the phone.

“I’ll call down and get him ready, it might be a half hour or better because his meal is being served right now. So I want him to eat so he has zero reason to bring it up in court and fuck all this up!”

The head of the whole prison started to make phone calls and called the other men and women on the twin’s letter into the office where they started to go over the plan with over a dozen inside the small office.

After that first call down to the cell blocks was made, ‘Forced Fist’ was getting his breakfast slid to him through a slot in the wall. He sat down on his bunk and started eating till he noticed his cup of oatmeal had two cups one inside the other. This was missed by the staff and guards as the cups were jammed together that well, then added the plastic lid covering all of that up. He pulled the two cups apart and found a note inside…he read it and smiled ear to ear!

Back upstairs, the twins checked out the van that was taking them and made the drivers check everything from the oil to the air pressure in the run flat tires. Next they made sure that each van matched the others as best they could and checked each one for trackers or bugs!

When they were done the van backs up to the ultra-max sally port and they wait for ‘Force Fist’ to show up in the elevator. The huge man grinned ear to ear as he stepped off the elevator, “Hi girls, ya going to dance or strip for me?”

Rohanna checked his huge handcuffs or in this case HUGE metal block that covered both of his hands and nullified all his powers, “Nope and we are not having a school outing.” that is when she applied a nerve pinch to his arm and he yelped in pain, “You will get even more pain if you act up or don’t shut the fuck up!” she barked at him.

Force fist growled back at the warning as he stepped into the van and Rehanna locked his steel booted legs to the floor and linked his handcuff block to the seat so he could not even move his feet or arms more than a few inches, “settle in for a long ride and you will not like the prize at the end.” she quipped while checking his restraints.

With Force Fist all settled in, the twins took the seats at the far rear of the van to give them room to act before the prisoner could fully act and across from him sat both of the other guards that kept at least one set of eyes on him at all times in case he tried to break free.

Outside the van the other four vans all lined up with the twins in the third one out of all five, they all left the vehicle sallyport and drove down the street together in a mini convoy for a few blocks and then each van made a turn here and there until the twin’s van was all alone

They left the garage and even without windows the twins knew where they were going and what street they were on almost down to the street address. The van made several turns and sped up and down with the traffic, the bumps and change to the sound of the tires told everyone the van was on one of the bridges…the drivers and the twins only knew what one was being used!

On the next turn everyone in the van rear section could make out a “toot” of a steam whistle and Rehanna looked at her twin, “That is strange?” she said then another one came.

Across the van from the twins sitting at the rear doors, Force Fist smiled thinking of the note he read hidden in his oatmeal…”You are being moved to Ultra-max right now and will certainly die there. Your cuffs and foot bindings have been sabotaged by me and when you hear two ‘toots’ of a steam whistle and they will release. You escape to waiting transportation there and from there YOU WILL WORK FOR ME for five years for free…your choice or die in prison.”

Force fist knew he was a walking dead man, one never got an appeal to work or a pardon when they killed dozens on LIVE ON TV and seen by half the nation LIVE or a few days later via recordings or cell phone videos. Then worst of all the cop’s own bodycam of him laughing over the dying cop’s body.

“Time to go…” Force Fist smiled(FF from now on for simplification) said under his breath as the large block that was a “set of handcuffs” over his lower arms fell away loose from his arms and the boots fully locking his feet fell off too.

His left hand flew out and smashed the guard to his left right in the face with the now open cuffs and shattered his skull instantly. Then he grabbed the guard to his right by the neck and snapped it. He used the deadman’s body as a temporary shield to the twins and the twins did not attack straight off thinking the man was still alive by his heartbeat...they did not want to kill a fellow cop!

Then he blasted the floor in the center of the van nearest the front with his left hand after he tossed the dead cop’s body at the twins to keep them at bay. The lightly armored floor of the van blasted down and detached more than a bit and acted like a giant brake or anchor that stopped the van from over fifty miles per hour to a dead stop in a few feet.

Rehanna fell forward by the force of the jolt and Rohanna held onto the van rear door handle to keep from being flung forward. FF raised his right hand right at Rohanna and she put up her left arm readying herself for the coming bast with the magical shield spell built into that arm's very armor hidden under her uniform…”oohh VITH!” she shouted just before he blasted her.
(oohh FUCK)

The blast struck Rohanna like a freight train and slammed her into the van’s doors hard, but her shield saved her from most of the damage till FF aimed both of his fists her way and cut loose.
A double blast hit her and blew her plus the door she was standing in front of right out of and off the van at high speed.

She sailed right out the back with the door, as she flew the door flipped away in the wind as a leaf would do and she continued to fly along till her body hit the short wall and rail of a row of townhomes. Her body bent wildly backwards over the rail with a series of bone cracks, a howl of pain ripped out of her lungs and then her body slumped down to the sidewalk with her sitting upright like she would normally lean on it.

Rohanna sat there coming to her senses, she was dazed and in deep pain. She felt a deep pain in her back, but strangely nothing from below her mid chest, “Ohhh shit I am paralyzed!” She cried out and looked back at the van where her twin was leaping out of the ruined van to battle with Force Fist just stepping out of the van’s wreckage.

Back at the fight just starting up at the van, Rehanna mentally yelped to her Twin, “You good?” she questioned while tossing two daggers right at FF’s head and they were blocked by his force field. Just one of his powers besides blasting!

“I can’t feel or move anything from my main chest plate down!” she said back mentally.
(note on Drows they have ribs going all the way down to their belt line that humans do not and a whole overlapped and joined ribcage. The lower parts are in smaller “plates” that are linked to the main cage so that they can ‘bend’ in the middle like humans do. With the overlapped ribs and other things linking them all. It's very hard to stab one and get past it all to a heart or their internal organs.)

“Shoot!” Rehanna said back, “this is bad REAL bad!”

“No shit!” her twin barked back mentally so loud it Rehanna winched a bit as she tossed a levin blot of magic at FF and his shields only quivered for a second.

Rohanna knew this was bad, her twin was fighting all alone and it was only seconds till FF spotted her and moving in to try and kill her. If he did make a move towards her prone body, her only defense was to port away and leave Rehanna all alone…something she was not going to do!

Rehanna popped in and out with her ports to confuse FF and each time she “popped” back she launched a new attack at FF. Even though she was surprising him each time, her attacks were not doing anything real to his shields and she made it a mental note “this was going to take time, time she might not have to wear him out!”

Rohanna saw the fight was not going well and knew both Lilac and her Violet were positioned between her and the fight…the pixies were going to defend their ‘big sister’ with their lives if need be!

“Get on in there you two, I will be fine here! Rehanna needs you to mix it all up and weaken him!” she ordered.

“But you are defenseless!” Violet worried out mentally and Rohanna could feel Lilac nod mentally to the warning.

“GO! I will be okay…GO NOW!” she ordered again and both buzzed away to join the fight rolling down the block that Rehanna was busy fighting.

The pixies flew off to join the fight but could not do too much to help, as FF was something new the twins had yet to encounter. This villain not only was strong as heck with lifting and easy five tons, then add he was a TK or Telekinetic tank that used his force field not only on this body like armor. But also had a full bubble around him for two layers of protection and worst of all, his shield even filtered the poison dusts the twins had used in the past to knock out foes like this. All of that was bad…then add his force blasts!

Rehanna was very busy being alone in the growing battle and was porting in and out to keep FF off balance. Once and awhile she would toss a levin bolt at him or fire or even ice to see if she could ‘peel’ off his defenses long enough to get him down or dead!

As Rehanna was busy the first cars of the local police department showed up and started to fire their guns at FF and he shrugged off the weak attacks like they were nothing. He knew his biggest threat to his new freedom was Rehanna for now and once he was done killing this little girl…her twin was next!

Rohanna pulled out her bow and started wrapping magic around or over each arrow before she cut them loose at Force fist and even that attack was not having any effect. She needed to get into this fight bad! She was upset at herself and her body for failing her right now, “DAMN you legs work!” she shouted while pounding a fist on each one so hard the bones were in danger of breaking!

Next she tossed the only healing spell she knew on her legs and at her back and spine, it was a feeble try that accomplished nothing, “I need to get up and fighting!” she growled then thought “I gotta do something!”

That is when she pointed at a puddle of water in the gutter, “Joan I call you to defend me!” and the water quivered up till the full form of a woman was standing there. Joan bowed to her mistress for a brief second before jumping into the fight with Rehanna, where she blasted streams of water at FF and tried to aid the town or at least distract the human so that Rehanna could end him!

Rohanna could tell even that was not enough, so she pulled a single match from her vest pocket and stuck it on the concrete and as it flared up she yelled out to it, “Kenna defend us!” and the flame grew till it too looked like a woman. Kenna after she finished rising up and fully formed. She looked at the situation and did not even take time out to bow in respect, she just leapt into the fight right off and started blasting away with gouts of fire so hot they bubbled the blacktop of the street as they passed over.

More cars of the local police department showed up and joined the fight and this time the ones showing up had better anti-mutant weapons made just for occasions like this. Force Fist saw the newly arrived cops as a new threat and started in on them. He lept over to a group of three, the first one died via him landing on the man and he was crushed under his weight plus the force field. The next one had his head crushed in and the last was smashed like a fly on the side of a wall wall as a force blast hit her like a fly swatter!

~o~O~o~

This was bad and like normal it got much much worse!

Rehanna just finished with a short but intense bunch of ports when she spotted five incoming capes or superheros, the first one was a woman in full suit of high tech augmented armor and she dropped off a Huge girl from over a hundred feet up that crash landed right on top of one of the cop cars, the impact flattened it like a pancake.

The giant girl stood up and shouted, “Princess Thunder is here and evil doers beware!”

All Rohanna could think was “Ohhh bother…corny!” till the “Princess” backhanded a cop so hard that he flew off at least a hundred feet and landed with a cash into a minivan where he did not move and Rohanna thought he might be dead or hurt so bad he was out of the fight till he got to an ER!

“YOU just hurt or killed a cop!” Rohanna shouted at the woman.

“Shut up villian, I will get to you soon!” the large woman shouted back and turned back to the fight where she started to gang up on Rehanna with Force Fist!

Rohanna was not about to let that happen and she was going to hurt that woman badly to protect her twin…a twin that was part of her! She pulled an arrow from her dimensional storage, one that was made of a strange metal decorated with engraved runes.

She nocked into her bow in one smooth utterly fast motion and was just activating the spells on it when a flying woman made of flame showed up and landed on the street at the edge of the battle. The flames coming off her body died down a bit, but not all the way to nothing. Rohanna could see a wicked grin cross her face as she blasted two cops with fire that looked very much like a world war two flamethrower!

Both cops screamed in horror and pain as they ran all around trying to snuff the flames, one of the cops was a woman and even with her rolling in a large puddle of gutter water the fire did not die down.

Rohanna was horrified, then so angry she stopped thinking and shouted towards the fight, “Kenna, ELGG ILTA!” she shouted an order in Drow (Kenna, kill her!)

Kenna nodded back to the shout, “Siyo Jabbress,” she said then she spun around from trying to roast Force Fist alive and reached out a hand towards the fiery human, balled up her fist like she was grabbing something then YANKED!
(yes mistress)

Ember Flame was about to blast yet one more cop to ash when her fire power just left her, it left so abruptly it hurt and she faltered, nearly falling to the ground! She just found out that she might be a mutant that controls fire…but Kenna was FIRE itself!

The Armored girl shouted down to the fight from a speaker built into her suit, “Ember look out!” she barely got that shout out before Kenna hit her with so much fire, it turned the street’s blacktop all around her into bubbling boiling tar and she fell to the ground burnt to the bones!

Seeing her friend cut down…no Bar-B-qued made the armored woman mad beyond measure and she flew down to strafe Kenna with a few hundred bullets fired from her twin arm mounted mini railguns and saw that attack did nothing but make her instantly Kenna’s next target for a blast of flame so hot that her onboard computer screamed a overheat warning to her!

Next the armored up woman swung around mid-flight and started to fire small missiles at Kenna to no effect, then switched targets to Rehanna when she spotted one of her teammates armed with swords running up to engage. She wanted to make a quick kill and steal the glory from her teammate!

Shellclad took aim and the figure that was battling a large man or mutant in this case, then she fired one of her best mini-missile, “Take that lawbreaker!” she smiled.

Rohanna saw the shot at her twin coming, “Incoming…leap to the far right to be clear!” She warned Rehanna mentally and Rehanna did so in pure instinct, as her twin was her second set of eyes in this battle.

The fired missile went wide as Rehanna ported away and right back into the fight from a new spot and Shellclad spotted that sudden move and started to aim a new volley at Rehanna. Rohanna noticed that attack was coming and was not about to let that happen again. So she took aim with the magically enhanced arrow she was going to shoot at Force Fist and let it loose at the armored woman instead.

That arrow flew off and when it impacted Shellclad it blew her right leg off at the hip, Rohanna had intended to strike that spot as she did not want to kill the ‘hero’ making a huge mistake just yet! With that leg now missing and the mini jets, plus control jets house in it gone, Shellclad pinwheeled away over a mile and crashed into a small building. Shellclad might have bled out if not for her armor self sealing the wound and binding her leg like a tourniquet to save her life.

A new hero off this team of five exited her teleport spell just in time to watch Shellclad be blasted from the sky, she felt the deep magic from the arrow and the blast and knew instantly by her feeling for magic that Shellclad was lucky to be alive. Next she watched her teammate start attacking a woman…no teenager dressed in a NYPD uniform or the torn rags of what was left of a uniform. That teenager was already fighting a huge man or mutant with a forcefield of some sort.

Crimsonblade, all dressed in her trademark red waded into the fight to engage the woman she was told was an imposter cop dressed in a NYPD uniform and that the large man with the forcefield was another hero trying to save the day! She was also told that any other cops on scene right now were imposters too. But for now she was going to get rid of this woman and then onto the rest.

The newly arrived hero raised her magical staff and was about to add her own powers to the fight Crimsonblade was entering with the woman. When that teenager pulled twin swords from nothing and wrapped each one in a spell so powerful it glowed to her magical sight, so bright it hurt to see it even!

It all started to add up inside her head…seeing the teen getting ready for battle with Crimsonblade and still having the ability to stay in the fight with the large man, next add the other teen who was a twin to this one leaning up seated on the sidewalk…the one that had fired the arrow at Shellclad.

She knew who they were.

“NO Crimson, they are not our targets. They are real cops and heros too!” She warned too late for her teammate to stop before the teen with the swords kept fighting the large man and took only a second to pause long enough to block two of Crimson’s swipes before she cut off Crimson’s right hand sending the hand and blade it held spinning off down the street.

Crimson was in trouble now and very much defenseless as she grabbed onto the stump that was once her right hand. Force Fist saw she was an easy target and a hero of some sort, so he blasted her with a force punch that sent her flying away towards Rohanna by chance and she landed with a smack that even made Rohanna cringe, “Did I sound like that when I hit the rail?” she asked no one!

The new arrival ran over to her teammate and started laying a healing spell on her fallen teamate Crimson, “Hey I am so sorry we attacked you, we were lied to that any cops here were fake and the big guy over there was the hero.” she explained to Rohanna only a few feet away.

A now angry Rohanna barked at the woman, “So your team just takes the word of some ‘THING’ and does not check it? What are you all STUPID or something?”

“We made a mistake and where is the fire mutant from my team? Her name is Ember Flame,” she had to ask just now realizing that she was missing.

“Ohhh that is who that WAS…look over there by the burned out car.” Rohanna sassed like a champ and the woman looked and did not see a person, so she shook her head in question, “Where?”

“The burnt skeleton cooked right into the blacktop…that was her.”

“You killed her!”

“Not us and she made the choice to kill two cops and she paid the price for that poor choice!” Rohanna shouted over the fight and loosed an arrow at the big woman that was keeping Rehanna at bay from taking out Force Fist…the Drow was fighting two big mutant powered “tanks’ for a better word and was barely keeping up!

“I am Azure Arrow,” the new woman introduced herself as, “And let me get Princess Thunder off your twin and help her in this fight.” and she tapped a small earpiece and that is when Rohanna spotted that the woman had elven ears!

“Mary, stop fighting the girl, the guy is the bad one…we were lied to!” she shouted and the woman did a double take that paused her long enough in the fight to almost get her killed by FF if Rehanna had not messed up FF’s force blast aim with a levin bolt of her own.

The only reaction from the huge woman was a shout, “SHIT!” and she spun off from attacking the teen and joined in with Rehanna. Now Force Fist was in trouble with two heavy hitters gunning to end him!

Azure Arrow finished with what she could do for Crimson and moved over to Rohanna, “Sorry again, can I try to heal you?” She asked.

“Fae magic or human garbage!” she asked while shooting an arrow at FF to help in the fight the only way she knew for now.

“Fae of course!” she said, starting a spell up, “What is hurt?” she asked very concerned that anything she might touch would cause even more damage or pain

“My back…I think my spine is shattered or I would be on my feet hurting that guy!”

“Who is he?” she asked, laying more essence into her spell to try and help.

“That is Force Fist and he killed two cops inside my transport and several more once he got out and then your bunch of morons killed even more!”

“Damn I should have recognized him, why did they only assign you two and two other regular cops? Why not a whole convoy?” she asked, trying her best to heal what injuries she could and most of the damage was far beyond her skills!

“Because if that plan got out or leaked, he has enough friends out here to make even a huge convoy a mess…this guy's next stop was death row and a cigar box for his ashes!”

Azure sighed in defeat, “that is the best I can do, I am sure your spine is well past my meager healing abilities.” she said, trying to apologize.

“I get that, but at least you stopped my pain for now. So let’s get back into the fight,” and Rohanna pulled yet one more arrow from her storage and lit off the spells on it. “Here take this and we three…you, me and my twin hit him at nearly the same time and end this!”

Azure took the arrow and studied it, the spells and craftsmanship on it amazed her, “So when do you want me to fire this?”

“Get your teammate in on this and I will tell you. I have control of my team and we are ready right now. Three of these arrows should drop all his defenses and then the rest of my team…the fire girl and water powered one will end this!” she instructed and Azure nodded as she pulled out her own bow.

Rohanna told her twin the plan and yelled instructions to her bonded Nymphs in Drow so that Force Fist did not know what was happening. Azure got a yelp of “Yes and ready for you to call it!” from Princess Thunder over their comms.

Azure nocked her bow and Rohanna did the same, “You fire first and we will use you as the count down…when you are ready go!”

Azure let the arrow loose, Rohanna followed when she felt it was right and then Rehanna ported away a few yards from the fight for her shot. Azure’s arrow hit first taking down most of Force Fist’s outer shield, then Rohanna’s arrow stuck a millisecond behind that one in the same spot taking the rest down and knocking his next body covering shield way down. Rehanna’s arrow hit next and finished the job…Force Fist was now totally defenseless for a second at least.

With his shields down for now, Joan was next to attack and surrounded FF with a huge ball of water that started to drown Force Fist. Then Kenna was next in her attack that heated the water till it boiled and cooked Force Fist alive till he was on the edge of death. Joan added new cool water for the next part where Rehanna strolled over to him, tossed one of her many poisons into the ball of water and he died from it…the poison then went inert, as simple water deactivated it and left no trace it ever existed!

Rehanna sighed and then walked over to her twin, then plopped down wearley by her side, “Well that is done, now we get some seats at the game as a reward?”

“Ohh you bet we are getting seats!” Rohanna barked.

Joan checked that Force fist was dead and watched on as one of the NYPD cops on the scene walked over to his body, smiled…then used a ‘mutant buster’ shotgun on his head several times till there was nothing left but a red smear, “Fucking cop killer!”

Kenna had taken that time to rush to Rohanna’s side, “We have to get you back to the grove and the Matron to be healed!” she said in Drow to keep others from knowing what they said.

“Go on and get to the Matron…I will come as soon as I can. I am farrrrr to pooped to port right now!’ Rehanna laughed.

Kenna nodded as Joan spun up her power over water and made a huge flow of it to lift the injured twin, then a bed of water shimmered as Rohanna’s body lowered right through it and vanished from sight. Then Joan’s own form lost all of its definition and she vanished with the water.

“Should I stay Mistress?” Kenna asked as she scanned the area for any new threats.

“No, go back to the grove and keep it safe,” Kenna nodded, saying that She understood the order and vanished in a puff of smoke.

Rehanna leaned back on the railing and sighed, “Well now we wait till the rest of the cops come, the detectives grill us and we watch as they scoop Force Fist up into a body bag.”

Azure took a spot next to her, “Maybe I should go find Shellclad?” she thought out loud.

“Your choice, but after my twin blew her leg off…she looked okay to us?” she laughed.

“Not funny!”

“Ahhh Very funny, she chose poorly and attacked my twin…threatened my back up cops and the fact she is even alive after doing that act where we saw it! Is us being VERY KIND THIS WEEK…we buried a good friend this week, so fucking with a fellow cop where we could see it? You get the idea!” she warned the hero sternly..

“I get it…we messed up and have to own it.” she admitted.

“Besides that armored chick can just build herself a new leg and call it a choice AND an improvement she made personally. AKA lie about it!” Rehanna laughed.

~o~O~o~

A few days later at Whateley Academy

Rehanna strolled into the main campus building and up a few floors to Mrs Carson’s office, where she dropped off a large file with a NYPD logo on its cover, “That last report from Force Fist’s prisoner transfer.”

“Girl she wants to see you and Rohanna too.” Miss Claire said, (she was Mrs Carson’s secretary)

“Rohanna is still out in the grove resting and healing her back.”

“Ohhh she must have been injured far worse than I knew…sorry.” she said back, concerned for one of the students' care.

“She will be fine, our healer is a great one and injuries like this are well within her vast skills.” Rehanna said as she started towards Carson’s office door.

“Here take your NYPD file into her and have your chat.” Miss Claire smiled at the teen as she entered Carson’s inner office.

Rehanna entered the office and closed the door right away, “You wanted to see me?” she asked Mrs Carson walking deeper into the office to place the NYPD incident report on her desk.

“Yes I did…so your twin is still out of action and out resting in the grove?” she asked, pouring herself a drink and pulling an orange soda out for the Drow. She knew the twins well and this was their drink and brand. Carson always kept some in the small fridge inside her office since they twins first came to school and she found out what the pair preferred to drink.

Rehanna took the offered soda and sat in the chair nearest the desk, "Yes Ro is out there resting for a few more days.”

“Well that is nice to hear that she is getting better, but I read over your report…the one you turned into the NYPD on the day of the prison break and I have some questions.”

“Shoot Mrs, Carson.”

“Read that Ember Flame died in the fight, she was burned alive and her body exposed to a fire so great in its heat and intensity. That it burnt away most of her body and left only her bones fused or melted into the blacktop of the street.” she asked while sipping away at own scotch on ice.

“That is about right.”

“So what or who killed her?”

“Her poor life choices are to blame.”

Carson had a less than friendly look on her face when she questioned the twins being sarcastic,”What do you mean by that remark?”

“She ran up onto a battle between cops and a death row inmate in transit…attacked the cops there, being US and did not check her source for any truth who was who…based on what her OWN teammate said at the time as to who they were helping and who were the bad guys, so to speak. So she attacked and killed two local Jersey officers and paid the price.” Rehanna said flatly, not even showing an ounce of emotion over the woman's death.

“Did you kill her?” Carson had to ask.

“Nope neither one of us did.” Rehanna smiled, not lying an inch as Kenna, one of the twin’s bond nymphs did!

“Did you order it?”

“Nope,” she kept smiling as Rohanna ordered it!

“Did…” Carson started to question.

“Do you really want to know…she killed two cops and that is it DARN IT!” Rehanna barked.

Carson was treading on thin ice, this was Rehanna the older part of the pair of twins and the one of the pair that did not stand for humans even questioning her choices or acts. She would yank the pair right out of the school and wait till all the humans that might want to punish them were long dead including Carson herself! Drows had a life span long enough that taking a few decades off was nothing to them…it was like a human taking an afternoon away from work.

“I understand…” Carson said sipping her drink, the older Drow soul was right in this case. Some questions are best left unasked.

“Anything else.” Rehanna asked, finishing off her soda.

“Yes, an attorney wanted to depose you Monday. He requested to have the interview here and the NYPD passed the request on to me. I said no, this mess is the PD’s and I told them…that she or they will meet the attorney there in the station or wherever they request. I am sure they wanted access to the school for some strange reason?”

“Who…what case?” Rehanna asked, knowing that they had many on the books and requests like this were going to come more and more as they worked with the NYPD.

“The case dealing with your arrest of the football player, he is gathering evidence in his case to discredit you and your twin in the arrest so he can get off the drug arrest…I am sure he is headed to a full decade in prison with all the drugs you found with a machine gun with filed off serial number?” Carson said while checking her notes on the case file that she had at the ready on her desktop along with a few others dealing with the Drow.

“Hummm we found him with so much cocaine it snowed and the gun was a freebee, he could have just bought any gun at a dealer that was a legal to own machine gun. But he had to have one he could toss in case he committed a crime, then add the darn thing was stolen too!” Rehanna shook her head at the utter stupidity of the man who had a college degree and now there was some doubt on the Drows mind that he cheated or got passed along by teachers or the orders of the college leadership to keep the foolsball team’s best player in the game.

“From what I read the case seems to open and shut with all the pictures and that two other officers swore they saw the same thing in their reports of the day. I have to wonder what his attorney is playing at, what is his angle on this case…what is he hoping to find?” Carson wondered out.

“We don’t have a clue, the file on this case is thick enough to build a house out of and if it ever got out into the wild he would never play again anyway! Even if he found a way out of this self made mess, no team would touch him.”

“I agree, but make sure you show up to whatever deposition the NYPD sets up for you and make sure you both show up. I know you think alike and know each other in ways we can’t even fathom…but they don’t and never should know.” Carson said as Rehanna stood up and started to walk out of the office.

“Understood Mrs Carson,” is all the Drow said before she closed the door.

~o~O~o~

Days later in New York at the legal center for the NYPD

Rehanna held the door for her twin as she walked into the room, both in basic PD uniform with one exception. Rohanna had what looked like a pillow of some sort in her hand and she found a seat that she liked, rolled it over to the table then sat down. Her next act was to place the somewhat hard pillow behind her in the small of her back and she seemed in a bit of pain till the pillow found the right spot, “Ahhh that is better,” she sighed out a bit.

It was not too long before the NYPD union representative and the city DA showed up in the room. The DA made fast work of laying out a few files on the case, she stacked her files and shuffled many papers to get all set. She then noticed Rohanna and that pillow.

“What is up with that? She asked, pointing it out.

“Well when you fly fifty feet out of the back of an armored van transporting a death row inmate, hit a concrete and steel railing for a row house and bend backwards like a horseshoe over it…it leaves a mark and a weeee bit of pain!”

“Ohhh you must have been in pain the day of this arrest?” she said looking at the case date and saw it was only a few weeks ago.

“Nope…Only got hurt last Sunday.”

“What?”

“We heal fast and our insurance is better than the department's.” Rehanna laughed and the union rep laughed too. As he knew who the twins were and the DA seemed to be out of that loop!

“You could not have been hurt that badly?” she asked thinking the girl might be trying to get some sort of disability claim started against the department.

“Ohhh no I was hurt and hurt bad. My spine was shattered so bad a jellyfish had more backbone than me afterwards! It's just we Fae heal better and magic is one hell of a drug!” Rohanna laughed now.

The DA looked confused then flipped the file open to the twins personal jacket and saw the marks for Mutant and Fae and Magic user…a rare combination in any police department in the US! “Ohhh I see that now, I didn't have time to read your files and the case notes too on the arrest. And I will say you did real good on collecting evidence, I have seen CSI techs do less!”

“Thanks!” Rehanna smiled.

The attorney for the football player showed up more than fashionably late and the DA was a bit mad at that fact, “Counselor, we almost called this a no show and would have billed your office for the DA and the department’s time!”

“Well I guess it's good I made it then?” the attorney sassed taking his seat at the head of the table. The court reporter shook his head to the statement and made a full note on his pad of what was said.

“Strike that from the record please,” he asked the reporter.

“Can’t do that for you. Your statement shows the court your respect or lack of respect for the process of the court.” he said deflating the attorney’s ego several notches and anyone could tell he took GREAT pleasure in doing so.

“Humm, so let's start then?”

“All on you to start or waste time…the state pays my salary!” the DA smiled.

“Okay I wanted this deposition held at your school. BUT I could not get permission. Heck I had to get a Judge to even obtain the school’s name. He obtained the information requested and then did not tell me…he said it was privileged, then even withheld even the state your school is in and what or who they have attending there!”

“Really?” Rehanna played at acting shocked and surprised with a giggle.

“Tell them the rest, why don’t you?” the DA smiled.

“I was told that even the FBI has to ask to come onto your campus and can be told to leave their weapons at the gate? What is this place?” I was a bit of an exaggeration, but why tell this blow hard attorney that the judge was just stringing him along to shut him up!

The deposition went on for over three hours and the DA had to shut the attorney down several times, not to mention the PD union representative had to cut in a few time when he went a bit too far, “I have to warn you again…DO NOT CALL THESE OFFICERS LIARS, they will not stand for it!” the rep shouted knowing the twins were more than offended, he personally knew they should not be called liars and why most of all!

“I call out a lie as I see them!” the well dressed attorney barked back.

“Well that was the last one…we are not sticking around for abuse!” Rehanna said standing up.

“Abuse, this is nothing. I wanted to serve a search warrant on your school and personal rooms for evidence in this case, BUT the judge shut me down!”

“Good for him…you would have found nothing anyway! But this is over?” Rohanna asked and looked towards the Union rep and the DA.

“Yes it is!” the DA said, closing her files and opening her briefcase up to drop them inside.

“Okay for now, I will see you both later,” the attorney for the football and drug dealer warned. The twins gave him a very evil eye that should have scared him if he really knew them!

~o~O~o~

Friday of that same week

Bill walked down the stairs of his home still dressed in his shorts and bath robe, yawning and sniffing the air. He could make out the scent of Jineen having made her morning coffee and he knew that was a very good thing, as Jineen without her morning coffee could be an Irish red headed hand full of anger.

“Morning honey!” He said, giving her a kiss on the cheek as she leaned on the kitchen counter top, “How did you sleep last night?” he asked as she poured him a cup and refilled her own.

“Well did I wake you?” she asked with a wicked smile.

“Nope…no knife in the back or a foot up my butt? So you slept well!” he chuckled.

“So what are the plans for today?” she asked, sipping her cup and more ready for the coming day than her hubby…she was already dressed!

Bill took a sip of his coffee and grinned, “Ohh this is the new stuff the twins got from school, I love the vanilla and mint flavor! But we got food all bought, pick up a few trays of food for our small gathering here and I help you clean up a bit!” he said laying out his plan for a rare four day weekend off!

“That sounds like a plan, I hope the job doesn't call you in?” Jineen worried that ARC always seemed to call in her hubby for some sort of nursing needs or a new mutant showed up?

“I told them not to call me no matter what. The only way I am going in is if the whole center is going to blow up or blew up!” he laughed that they would need a world ending incident to even get his attention this weekend.

“I already made a list for the store. We will get some sliders for the meat eaters, the twins and for the Fae I am getting a ton of cut fruit and a special made tray of several different styles and flavors of fries. Also for them and anyone else I am getting an order of fried fish and shellfish sent over Saturday.” she said placing a shopping list on the counter in front of Bill to read over.

“Ohhh good you added in stuff for breakfast, the ones staying overnight will mow through what you have in the pantry if we don’t stock up…darn teens always eat more than a NFL football team can in a week!” he warned.

“Ohhh ya but I do love the twins' friends, they always leave this place cleaner than when they got here! The last time they slept over they washed all the sheets and magically cleaned the carpets!” Jineen said more than happy that the kids were great guests!

Outside of Bill and Jineen’s condominium row home, a lone Pixie studied with curiosity the group of humans creeping up the walkway laying between the row of homes. She had first noticed them gathering out in the street a block away and then rolled up the street hanging off several large SUV’s. She knew what those humans seemed to be, a SWAT team of some sort…but not the local one! She knew the local teams well, one was ARC’s another was Whateley’s and the last was the tribal police…those Indians were mostly weres and thus nearly unstoppable!

The group of what seemed to be cops and SWAT stopped at the home’s gate and one slipped forward to open the gate slowly so it made no sound. Now Ceinlewen was concerned, guarding this home was her job and now the cops were sneaking about TOO close!

The small Pixie raised her hand and tossed a spell skyward…a call to action to all Fae nearby! She felt her home and charges might be under attack, but she couldn't act till there was violence so bad that Bill or Jineen might be hurt…she would wait for now, because she had standing orders not to call out a potential attack….she had to wait for one to happen!

One of the members of the first pack of SWAT stopped in his tracks, “Something is wrong…VERY wrong!” he warned the group.

“Stop being a wimp, you finger wiggler!” one cop whispered to the man an insult aimed at magic users!

“I am out of this…you go right on in and don’t say I did not warn you?” he said, sliding out of the stack of cops and walked at a fast pace back down the walkway.

“What do you see?” another cop asked the magic user as he left.

“I feel it and what worries me more is I CAN’T SEE IT or see anything wrong. BUT my bones are tingling that something very bad is happening magically, so I am gone!” he said back in warning and left even faster now.

~o~O~o~

Miles away at Whateley academy.

Kyley was going over her notes for class with Kevin the other “real” Drow at school besides the twins and ‘Sanctuary‘ one of the other regular elves here and the Fae creatures team healer. Ky was going over notes with the pair on american literature as Ky was having a bit of trouble with the plain “english” parts sometimes.

Jade strolled into the class room with Fey and sat at the table behind the small group, “Hey how's it going Ky?” Jade asked, flipping open her laptop and yanking a notebook from her bag.

“Doing fine,” Ky smiled as she pulled out her Japanese lesson book. This class was one of the wired combo classes that taught several subjects over the course of three hours, two days a week plus homework! This one was English literature, Japanese language and German language. The teacher taught all three subjects in the same room to save time with students shuffling around.

The twins ran into the room just as the teacher closed the door and locked it, “Barely made it with one second to spare,” the teacher said looking at her watch.

“Sorry Dr Kobayashi, we just got side tracked with Dr Tenent and she wanting a new x-ray of my back for the record.” Rohanna explained and held up an envelope holding old style film x-rays for her growing collection!

The teacher shook her head to the act and the fact the twins had a growing collection of x-rays of their ever increasing list of injuries! “Please take your seats and class we are starting with Japanese today…books or data pads to section thirty three.” she asked, walking to the front of the large classroom.

Rehanna warmed up her data pad and Rohanna got a notebook ready. They really needed to brush up on Japanese as the Lord of the Thrones movie was going to have an early media stop in Tokyo and other major cities in Japan.

The pair was listening intently to everything and one twin was keeping up with the lesson on the data pad, the other was making notes in their shared notebook. Yes the Drow might have an instant photographic memory but actually writing out Japanese characters was a skill one had to do by hand. The whole class in turn was running through verbally with each saying or sentence to make sure they all could say it all correctly to the teacher's satisfaction.

~o~O~o~

Back at Bill and Jineen’s home

Outside the condo the cops stacked up and got ready, one cop covered up the doorbell camera then stood back One rather large cop made his way forward to the door with a huge handheld ram, he nodded to another cop and that cops said in a normal voice, “State police we have a warrant open the door” and he knocked softly, so softly in fact it was like a five year old knocking!

The large cop didn't even wait five seconds before he stepped to the center of the door and readied a swing with the ram. He followed through with a strong swing and as he stuck the door an explosion of magic flung him back a dozen feet to flop with a scream of pain into Jineen’s favorite plum tree that he snapped to the ground…the plant was not going to get fixed without major help!

One of the shocked cops fired a single shot at the door and the bullet just stuck the magic shield there, hung in the air flat as a pancake for a split second and fell to the ground useless! ”Fall back fall back, this door has some type of shield on it!” The leader of the team barked and the group of men walked backwards with a small shield held by the last man covering his retreat.

Inside the condo, Bill heard the blast and the small shake of his home…not to mention the scream from the man sent flying! He looked over at his home security panel that happened to be right next to the kitchen area at what looked to be a small desk/nook/cabinet at the junction of all the home’s stairs. The video for his doorbell camera was blacked out and so was the one aimed at the front entry and garden…but the system read the cameras as “green” and working!

He tapped the panel and spun the recording of the camera’s back and found military dressed men or attackers slowly creeping up on his home just before the cameras went dark. When he saw that he hit the home’s alarm that locked all the doors, rolled armored shutters down over the windows and lastly sent an emergency signal to ARC who would be showing up in a few minutes with a platoon of battle armored guards.

“Jineen, we are being raided!” he shouted at his wife as he smacked a fist at the cabinet and a secret panel popped open that held two pistols and two small grab bags. Bill ripped the velcro sealed bag open and pulled out a necklace that had two medallions on it. Jineen did the same with her own small bag, “I am so glad the twins thought to use those cheesy cereal box toy spell medallions and make a permanent version of them for us!”

(note on the ‘cereal box’ medallions. It was told in an earlier chapter that the movie company gave the rights to a cereal company ‘lucky charms’ to make a movie tie-in toy medallions with spells on them and WHOOPS they did their research too well and made REAL spell medallions that could work if you had some basic magical essence to use. So the twins made more permanent ones for Bill and Jineen by adding a stone set into each one to hold essence. The married couple has two hanging from a necklace…one is a shield spell that can stop some bullets and the other is a well made invisibility spell)

~o~O~o~

Back at Whateley Academy

Everyone in the class was following along with the teacher’s lesson plan and reciting Japanese one at a time to make sure they were pronouncing the words or phrases correctly. Jade took her turn as one of the students at the table and then Rohanna was next, she flipped her notepad over to show her the notes on how to say the phrase right.

But before she could show the teacher her understanding of the lesson, suddenly both twins perk up and shout “Shit no way!” in english rather than their more normal curses in Drow! Then they both vanish with a port without speaking a single word.

Kevin reacted to them porting almost instantly, “Gee I felt that they were really mad and concerned for someone?”

“Yep they were PISSED!” Kyley said and stood up as she herself felt what the twins had felt before they ported away. “Dr Kobayashi, call Sam the only person in the school’s security team the twins respect...something bad, VERY bad is happening at their place in town. I can feel it’s being attacked somehow, as its magic shields just reacted and repulsed an attack of some sort?”

“Are you sure Miss Baron?” Dr Kobayashi asked and was already picking up a phone off her desk.

“So sure I am leaving right now to fly to my place in town and check it for my own piece of mind as I live about a block over from them or Bill and Jineen’s home that is!”

Ky was already thinking of her love Becky and was already calling her inside her mind, ”Are you at home my love?”

“No, why? I am out doing some chores before the weekend and have Tessa with me.” Becky asked back and Ky could feel deep concern flow over their connection.

“Someone is attacking or dumb enough to attack the twin’s place in town…I am flying home to see what is up! Don’t go home just yet, I will get back to you!” she said mentally as she zipped up her bag and then dropped it into a very secure locker in the hallway outside the class. She took time to slap a bright red warning sticker on the front of the locker “Class ‘X’ inside open or touch at your own risk!” She put that sticker there, as her books from ARC and other places were inside that book bag and those books could bend a human mind or kill just by opening one!

Becky checked several things flowing in from ARC on her car’s computer that was securely linked to their systems and found an alert had come in for her home’s area. An alert so bad, they strongly suggested not even going to that area till an all clear was sent.

Becky called up to ARC on the car’s com system to the best contact she knew up there, “Dr Otto’s office please it's an emergency please, “ she said to the main operator.

“Becky he is busy right now,” the operator said quickly…too quickly!

“Ohhh I bet he is…get him on the darn line as what is happening is right next to my home and Kyley is flying over there right now! So do you want to handle this now, or after two drows and a GOO go crazy down in Dunwich?”

There was a soft ‘pop’ on the line as a new voice came on, “Becky please tell me that the only resident GOO I have on staff right now is not headed down to the Dunwich condo homes complex?” Dr Otto asked…no begged!

“She is not headed down there…she is flying!” Becky jested to his pain!

“SHIT!” he barked, “we just got a full blown alert from the Leigh twin’s home and Bill is not one to jump the gun as they say, with him being an ex combat marine or in his case corpsman!”

“I know Bill’s past and him calling for help means something is really wrong…any phone calls or contact from them?” Becky had to ask as she had her own and knew the procedures on how to ask ARC for help in emergencies.

“It's strange, no phone calls, their cameras are down…the front door and front garden and their alert...call for assistance came to us via the satellite.” Dr Otto mentioned as he checked his own feed on the situation, “We will have something there in less than ten minutes.”

“Ten minutes…the twins could level the entire condo area in ten minutes and if Kyley gets dragged in even more!” Becky warned.

~o~O~o~

In the Dunwich condo community

The twins port onto the roof of their home and hide themselves with an invisibility spell before moving towards any edge of the row of townhomes, they peer over the edge and spot a SWAT armored truck from the state police.

“Ohhh they best not be here to arrest us or Bill and Jineen…that is not going to happen today!” Rohanna growls in Drow and her twin nodded in agreement.

“Let’s get inside, see how Bill and Jineen are doing and then figure out what the hell is going on?” Rehanna said and ported away.

Rohanna looked to the Pixies buzzing about her head, “Stay here, hide. We might need your eyes on what is happening out here!” she ordered and they nodded silently knowing their task.

Inside the townhome, both Drows port in across the dining area from Bill who is busy with the home security system. He is tapping buttons and features on the panel like mad, “Honey they cut the phones and the internet, plus jammed the cell phones…the only thing working is the satellite.” he explained and warned.

“Did they really think we would not know someone was ATTACKING OUR HOME!” Rehanna shouted out suddenly and startled both Bill and Jineen.

Jineen instantly ran over to the nearest Drow and hugged her, “I know Ro honey!” (she knew what twin was which and most could not tell)

Bill pointed to the panel, “Any idea who is out there?” he asked the pair of teens.

“They have state police marked units and SWAT armor down the street just out of sight of the windows and the cameras.” Rehanna explained as she went down the steps to the front door and started to add even more spell shielding to it.

When Bill heard that new information he tapped the panel and listened to the doorbell camera video that was black, he rolled the time back to listen to just before the spell guarding the door went BOOM and he listened to the cops very feeble attempt at serving a legal warrant with a whisper of “police warrant”. So he tapped the panel to send that video up to ARC and the legal teams there!

Next he tapped the doorbell camera speaker on, “Hey out there if you are REAL police come forward and show yourselves? I just heard that FAKE try at serving a legal warrant and sent that video file to our lawyers!”

“You come out!” they barked back from cover.

“NO you come and show us the warrant or we can wait for a few powered armored troops to show up or the local tribal police that cover this township and you can explain all of this to them?” Bill warned that he had back-up coming and it was not small!

Kyley was not one to hide when a friend was in danger, so she landed on the rooftop of the twin’s condo well within sight of the cops just on the walkway down the row of homes. The sight of a seven foot tall armored amazon was not exactly a friendly one. Then add as she landed, ARC’s dropship full of powered armor just arrived and started to hover over the area.

“Stop where you are, we are Arkham Research Consortium. We request that you stop all actions and be ready for the local police to show up and check your credentials and warrant. If you continue with any violent actions it will be met with extreme force!” a voice from the dropship warned.

The state troopers seemed to be arguing with a man in a suit out on the street a block away, a very well dressed man at that! They seemed to fight with words back and forth till a dusty jeep with a great off road kit rolled up and the side was emblazoned with “Medawihla Tribal Police”. A Huge man stepped out of the jeep with a noticeable creak of the jeep's body and he was big in muscles not fat!

The burly man was Stalking Bear or Joey Waters, the tribe's sheriff. “What is going on? He asked.

“Who or what are you? The well dressed man asked.

“I am the local police and we share jurisdiction over this village with the state and for the most part the state leaves us alone…so why are you IN my town unannounced!” he growled right at the state trooper's obvious leader, a captain by his rank bars.

“We are here to serve a search warrant and did not want you to warn those in the home beforehand.” the trooper said.

“So you are calling me and my department criminals or cheats?” he said, eyeballing the trooper captain angrily.

“No…but we have to be cautious. So tell the occupants of the condo to come out now!” he barked.

“I want to see this warrant?” Stalking Bear said, putting his meaty hand out.

“I want to see it too!” said a man just arriving in an upscale car, one that had an ARC logo in the windshield as a parking pass of some sort. Right next to the car from ARC was a security jeep from Whateley, it was unmarked but any local knew who or where it belonged to by the armor and the fact it was very new and clean…top of the line and pricey!

“And you are?” the well dressed man asked the newcomer, as Sam stepped out of her jeep to join in on the conversation and she nodded to Stalking Bear who winked back rather comically to lighten the mood a bit.

“Council for ARC and for those inside the home, warrant please?” he now asked and Stalking Bear stepped back letting the new man take over. The new lawyer from ARC read the search warrant over quickly, “So you are looking for evidence related to your defendant’s drug and illegal weapons possession case?” he asked to clarify.

“Yes,” the well dressed man said back simply.

“You really don’t have any items listed here for what is “evidence”, who gave you such a general warrant that covers WAY too much and literally lets you take the whole home's contents as “evidence” in your case?” the ARC lawyer said as he pulled up the judge who signed off on this mess by his name and BAR number at the document’s bottom.” Ohhh I know this judge, he really has it on for anything even ARC related since he lost in court to them, this warrant is a bit tainted by prejudice…but we will let it ride and you can serve it under my watchful eye!” the ARC lawyer warned.

The ARC lawyer walked towards the condos while on his cell phone, he was talking directly to Bill inside the home. “Bill, I am Jones the ARC attorney out here and yessss they have the right paperwork sorry to say…they get to come in and I will watch them every second fight over each item touched or taken one by one. This might take hours, as I am not going to give them an inch!”

Stalking Bear the tribal sheriff was following behind with Sam and they both shook their heads in turn and Sam whispered to Joey, “This might go sideways…that IS their home and the twins are not even going to care about legal paperwork in my opinion!”

“No they won’t, but if they want to hide out on my tribe’s land…they are welcome and anyone is welcome to push past all of us weres and a grove full of Fae.” the large man offered and warned.

Kyley jumped off the building from her perch and landed in the middle of the walkway, “So Jones, you are letting them into the Leigh’s home…you know this will not go well?” she said as her armor vanished and her body shrank down to the normal blonde teen she was at Whateley.

“And you are? The well dressed attorney for the drug dealing suspect asked.

“Baron and a friend of the people in there,” she said and it must have really creep the man out as Kyley had not blinked for well over two minutes.

“What are you?” the state trooper captain asked.

“Concerned citizen.” she smiled in such a way that scared the man and you could smell it and see it as his hand was hovering on his gun.

Stalking Bear knew Kyley well, “If you pull that gun on her…it's all on you and you will not make it,” he warned.

“Step aside you blond bimbo!” the attorney ordered.

“BIMBO?” Kyley shouted, “Five words…FIVE WORDS!”

“What is this five words?” the state trooper asked and his resident magic user stepped up a bit to answer, “Ahh sir, five words could be…she only needs to utter five words and…” he ran his finger across his neck to show his throat being cut!

“Are you threatening an officer of the court?” the attorney asked.

“Nope…she promised you.” Stalking Bear smiled, “and she can do it too. “You will not die, but you might want to claw your own eyes out or rip your ears off your head or jump off a cliff…but you will not die at her hand is what I am saying!”

The attorney visibly ‘glupped’ and mentally noted that this bimbo had not blinked for what had to be well past five minutes now! “Is she human?” he asked once again looking around for an answer.

“No I am not” she grinned back.

“Kyley!” Sam shot at the ‘teen’.

“He asked, so I told him!” she smiled even more.

Jones the attorney for ARC arrived at the condo’s door and leaned down to the doorbell camera and yanked a piece of black tap off it and noticed another covering the camera looking over the garden/entry area, “Get the tape one off that camera too!” he barked as he pointed up and tossed the wadded up ball of tape right at the state trooper!

The trooper captain was not pleased at the act of defiance, but Kyley laughed to the sight, “I got this, I am the taller one here” she said growing back in size to that armored amazon and she pulled the tape off the camera lens and gave it a little cleaning with a cloth she pulled out of a hidden pocket…”all done,” she said shrinking back down to her ‘in school or public’ size.

“Thanks Miss Baron,” the lawyer said as he tapped the doorbell and he looked into the lens addressing those inside, “Bill…Jineen, I looked over the warrant and it's valid for now. It's full blown bullshit, but valid!”

“This is OUR home, we should not let them in!” the twins barked in stereo!

“Girls, we have to let them in. I don’t want to and I don’t want you to fight them and Bill and I lose you both!” Jineen said as she hugged one twin close and the other joined in, Bill patted one twin’s back gently, “I will make sure they don’t cross any lines in this home…I swear!”

Bill tapped the security system screen to reply, “We will let them in…but you are watching them and there will be rules. AND I want to know who else is out there on our side?” he said looking at the garden camera and trying to make out who was who?

“Ohhh there is me of course, then Sam from Whateley, the tribal sheriff and Miss Baron. There will not be any funny biz with all of us watching this mess!” Jones, the ARC attorney explained.

“Fine,” Bill said, walking towards the door and opening it and the cops were about to rush in when Kyley stepped in the way with Sam and Stalking Bear the sheriff. “Ohhh no you don’t!” the sheriff warned them and was clearly snapping his gun holster free.

Joes spoke up before it got worse, “I go in, their attorney goes in with two troopers, the trooper captain and the sheriff, plus Sam…then add Bill or Jineen will be there with all of us in each room searched and we will only do ONE ROOM AT A TIME!”

“Nope I am going in too,” Kyley said, “I will be with the twins, as I think that I know them best and Sam has their trust to watch over the cop’s search of THEIR home!”

Bill opened the door and Jineen was on the pack of people instantly…”Shoes OFF and now, I will not let you track YOUR dirt into MY home and do not even think to leave anything damaged or ruined OR I’ll!” she swore while literally vibrating with anger and warned loudly…they started to take shoes and boots off on the spot. Jineen was just that scary!

The attorney for the accused had the cops go over each room on the bottom floor and found nothing. Next was the bedroom floor and the first stop was the master bedroom where Bill made sure they replaced anything they moved in HIS drawers and kept it neat as they found it…a mad wife like Jineen was not a thing one makes even MADDER!

Now they entered the last room, the twin’s bedroom and bath. Rehanna was watching them going into HER room like a hawk, “Stay calm, let Bill or Sam or me stop them before you act please” Kyley asked in Drow.

“I might,” she said back.

“Please swear to me and I mean it…please, this one time. I don’t have many friends and I don’t need to lose one of the few I do have?” she nearly begged in Drow.

“I swear to what you ask to the point if no one acts I will speak once and only once then I will ACT!” the teen said in Drow.

The lawyer for the drug dealer looked at the pair very puzzled by their words, “What did you say?”

“NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS BITCH!” Kyley growled in perfect english…one would have to guess she was practicing that or anger made her many issues with speaking the English language vanish!

Sam was amazed, “You curse better than a marine does!” and even Bill nodded to that assessment!

The two state troopers started with the room’s large dresser and went through it pretty quickly, drawer by drawer as the twins did not keep many clothes here. Then they moved onto the room’s work desk and pulled all the draws out of it and one cop was about to just ‘dump’ one drawer right onto the bed before he was stopped by a grumble and that is when the cop pointed out the notebooks he found there, "I can't read these?” he said, flipping through the pages of handwritten notes in a language he did not understand.

“They are in Drow,” Kyley pointed out.

“Can you translate this?” the lawyer asked.

“Nope, not for you and certainly not for free!” she laughed back to his pain.

“What would you charge us?” he had to ask.

“Hummm five thousand per word, with a million dollar starting fee to even open the book.” she smiled back.

“I will find someone else then!” he barked, then waved to the cops “take pictures of all of that!”

“You will not find anyone else to translate that…that is not already inside this home. Not without having to make a deal with a demon of some sort?” Kyley pondered a bit thinking of who might read Drow besides her and the twins.

“Take pics anyway…”

“I would do that with great caution, as those might be spells or dangerous?” Sam warned and Kyley nodded.

The cop just took a few more pictures and placed the notebook back where he found it. The other trooper picked up the leather scabbard and dagger the twin’s human dad had used in the war and Rehanna reacted instantly to the sight.

“Put that back right...,” the twins started but Bill was already in action, he stepped forward and ripped the leather scabbard and blade from the cop’s hand, “Not while I breath are you even thinking of taking this out of MY home!” he growled to the cop and everyone in the room knew he meant it...and meant it in a very deadly way.

“Ahhh don’t even think it guys,” Sam warned, “that blade is far too personal to the twins…a family heirloom…for you to even touch it is sacrilege at best!”

Kyley kept a firm hand on Rehanna to keep the Drow in check and it was only the fact Ky was stronger that she could even hold the enraged Drow. “I think we are about done?” she suggested to the room feeling the rage just flowing off the Drow.

“That bad?” Sam asked, knowing that Kyley could influence other being’s emotions.

“It’s taking all I have to keep her calm and not let her pure rage take over.” she warned as she drained off the twin's rage and fed them back ‘calm’ as best she could. Doing this for too long was going to cost Kyley great pain later, but this was a close friend and she would endure it for them.

“Yes I agree let's call it done folks?” Sam asked the room.

But the search or mess was not over, a cop picked up the twin’s stuffed toy dog ‘Max’ and showed it to the lawyer, “Found this and it seems to have a loose seam sir?” he said, picking a finger at the old stuffed toy’s seam and suggested it might be hiding something.

“LET MAX GO!” Rehanna roared as she tried to leap at the cop’s face! But Kyley kept the now enraged Drow firmly in hand as Sam was next to act and snatched the plus dog from the cop’s hand and handed it over to Rehanna before one of the twin’s killed everyone in the room they did not personally know…Sam knew that was coming by how the pair reacted to the toy’s mistreatment in the recent past.

Meanwhile Jineen’s more than gentle hug on Rohanna is all the woman needed to keep the Drow calm…well all the room could see for now. As the Air Fae or wish fairy she was, shoved what little magic she had to keep the Drow’s anger and rage at bay. If it was not for Kyley and Jineen’s powers the room would be filled with bodies by now.

“We are done here, I am not letting you cops search anymore of this home!” Joey Waters the tribal sheriff barked.

“My state troopers have jurisdiction here too Joey and I say we keep going till the lawyer says we stop.” the captain of the troopers said and crossed his arms.

“Do you really want to get into a pissing match with my force and the real troops from ARC?” Joey warned that this was getting very serious and that he did have bigger guns on his side. His force was only three other officers, but he could call upon a tribe or well over three hundred were-creatures that were all sworn members of his force…an army! The captain did not know that most of the local tribe was mostly made up of were-creatures and in a fight would be a force to be reckoned with.

The captain hemmed and hawed over the idea of stopping the search of the home, “Fine this is over before we get to fighting amongst departments and mutants, let's leave the bloodshed to the courtrooms.”

After the captain said that Bill started shoving the cops out of the twins room, “OUT OUT GET OUT OF MY HOME!” he ordered, the cops almost tried to resist but the captain barked at his officers to stop, “Get moving, this is over and he is right!”

The state troopers filed their way out of the home and started to gather up their gear to leave, the lawyer turned back to Bill to hand him a card, “we might have to come back and look again?” he smiled.

Bill was about to say something when Kyley interrupted, “Over your soon to be demented brain…remember it's only five words and you will claw your very eyes out.” she warned again, she was fed up by this human and was very seriously thinking of harming him!

“See you in court,” the lawyer warned the twins and this time Joey just shoved the guy right out of the home, but was mentally thinking to take him out deep into tribal lands and “lose” him more permanently!

Joey did his part to get all the state troopers out of the home and ever quicker to get them rolling out of HIS town! After they left he checked in on the Varneys and the twins, “They are gone, I am going to have at least two of my auxiliary officers outside for a few days to make sure they don’t come back.”

“Don’t do that Joey, the twins have more than a few of the Fae watching the house right now. Any human that is dumb enough to come here now is not going to see their next day that I am very sure…well not at least see tomorrow alive or as a human!” Bill told the sheriff that they had protecting the home all in hand and not to bother.

“When did that happen?” he had to ask.

“Just before the twins went back up stairs and shut their door they called in a few favors with the nearby Fae and then add they needed some alone time to regroup, so we will call Whateley to tell them that they will not be showing up for the rest of the week.” Jineen said as she came down the stairs.

“You have my number Bill, call anytime day or night…I never leave that phone alone even for a second!” he said and tipped his ball cap to Jineen, “Tell the twins we will watch over the Grove this week for them and double up on our patrols.”

Shadowsblade here.

This story in a joint venture with a group of fan fic authors, so far this group is made up of Nuuan, then Branek and finally myself. We all got together and after a jumpy start decided to make a group of stories that all take place within the Whateley fanfic universe.

To have an idea about the main protagonist this story's will develop
around here is a short introduction.

You might ask yourself what is the Whateley Universe? To make it short,
here is a abstract straight out off the wiki.

Whateley is a Prep School for different teens. VERY different ones. Where else could a kid go to a school that has a resident demon living in the furnace? Or meet magic users, mutants of every imaginable kind, get trained in how to handle some rather odd abilities, and worry about
flunking Freshman English? Come visit Whateley Academy, nestled in the
lovely hills of New Hampshire. Just down the road from a town named
Dunwich... (Mythos jokes purely intentional).
This is the Whateley Academy Universe, a shared universe with over a dozen authors and more than a hundred stories (and counting). The stories range in size from vignettes to novels. It's a Mutant High scenario with both a strong transgender theme and a slightly watered down Cthulhu Mythos theme.

It's also very much a work in progress.'
If you want further information you will find them on.

She has been attacked in Boston while shopping, by her new lover by accident of fate and by an assassin that nearly kills her.

The last major hurdle in her short new life, is that a science project gone mad! Has made an exact clone of her and linked it mentally to her every thought, it reacts like an extension of her body now.

Life moves on and she makes a movie to get Fae kind more "Out there" and joins the NYPD as a teen cop!

The Dunwich condo community inside Bill and Jineen’s condo

Rohanna grabs the last of her personal items from on top of her room’s dresser, “I hate moving out my stuff, but this place is a target for that slick lawyer and if he touches Max or my dad’s blade again I WILL CHOP OFF HIS HEAD!” the enraged teen barks her threats.

“Honey, Joey Bear got the Medawihla tribe to fix all of this. We became fully adopted members of the tribe and then they made our condo tribal land. That makes the next search warrant one hundred percent illegal unless a federal judge that has tribal authorization and training signs off…and I have been assured that there is no judge in the whole nation that will sign a search warrant for Medawihla tribal lands. There is none crazy enough to do it!” Jineen pleaded with the teen to leave her stuff in the twin’s shared room.

“We trust you, we trust the tribe…we do NOT trust other humans not to try this sort of invasion of our lives again!” Rehanna spat.

“Yes this all goes with us, because at Whateley we have a whole army that will not let them on campus. But we are leaving a dozen pixies here with orders no human enters this home alive unless you let them in.” Rohanna said checking the bathroom for anything they might leave, but still want to be safe.

“Ahhhh that is a bad idea?” Bill warned.

“So who is going to arrest a pixie?” Rohanna sassed, “There is no way they could even catch one, let alone hold one for any time longer than a few hours!”

Bill tilted his head to the idea, “Good point, who could catch a pixie and who would be that crazy or powerfull…well ones that you don’t already know personally?”

“Honey, you know this is your home and we try to keep it safe?” Jineen explained and hugged Rohanna close.

“We will come back when all this is over…we just can not have our most valued treasures vulnerable to that MAN! If he had damaged Max or dad’s blade? We would have taken months to kill him and done so in such a public way they would HAVE to jail us...if they EVER could!”

“We would have to do it publicly as a warning to all humans…don’t mess with DROW!” Rehanna spat once more.

Rohanna broke Jineen’s hug and nodded to her twin, “We have to get back to Whateley, if you want to see us…see us there for now.” and they both ported away.

As they left Bill’s anger finally cut loose and he smashed a fist through the hallway wall next to him, “I have to get this attorney off the twins or he will test them too far and they will over react.” he warned his wife who nodded back and went hug her man.

Days later

Bill stormed out of a meeting between himself, ARC and the attorney for the sports star that was trying to get the twins not to testify against him in court or at best discredit them!

“Ohhh you best make sure he keeps to the deal of us or ARC suing him and his sports hero…because if he comes to my place again or near the twins. HE will….” Bill shouted at the well dressed attorney who was laughing at him till the ARC attorneys pulled him away.

The lead ARC attorney stared at the high priced fool of a man still laughing at Bill, “He is not grandstanding, Bill has seen his share of death in combat and his warning should be heeded…now the twins on that matter. If you really knew them SIR, you would quit your profession and send them gifts each year you live past this one.”

“Gifts?...For what?” he laughed.

“For them letting you live one more year.” and the ARC attorney walked away without one more word.

A week later at Whateley

Sam walked into the school’s security department after her regular visit to Crystal hall to over watch lunch time of most of the academy and keep the infighting to less than lethal!

She flipped through the watch desk reports of happenings while she was away and the notes of the staff made as they returned from patrols. She was checking one report on an entry on school grounds by a car with an escort, when she noticed someone sitting in her office, “Who is that?” she asked the desk sergeant on duty.

“Ohh Sam, that is Akiko Yamamoto of the Tokyo Yakuza clan. She is the leader or ‘boss’ for this whole section of the east coast, going from Maine down to Virginia. Miss Yamamoto, arrived while you were out and wanted you to read this before you met with her,” he said, sliding her a large sealed envelope…”the envelope has the school’s seal from the board of trustees.” he added in.

“I can see that thank you!” she almost barked as she thought about who this lady was and then had her system link to the deep web to ‘look her up”...in a millisecond she had the info she wanted or dreaded. This woman was the boss of Summer Dillard, the woman that ran the Syndicate operation that kidnapped the twins a few months back…Summer did not live through the meeting to see winter!

An hour later

A well dressed Asian woman sighed as Sam was giving her a second run down of the school's rules and why she was not about to let ANYONE be in a room alone with a student let alone the twins!

“I understand all of that Everheart, but I have pre-approval of the whole board for this meeting and will assume all the risks of the meeting…consequences damage to myself, my mind or my full death or disappearance. No one including the Leigh Twins will see a day in court or be punished in any way.” she smiled and said in perfect english, that one educated in the hallowed halls of a place like Harvard or Yale might use.

“I get that…but I have to know what you are going to say to them or question them?” Sam demanded.

“That is very personal business just between us.”

“Then tell me this, are you going to ask them to commit a crime? Because I know very well who you are and what you do!”

“I promise you that I will not ask such an evil act out of them.”

“I have checked you out VERY THOROUGHLY and you are a woman of your word…I must ask you not to mention you were in charge of “The Syndicate” operations in New Jersey when they had an issue there a few months back.”

“That is why I am here.”

“You tell them that…you are going to die today and I can not say a word to stop that from happening. You were involved in that mess and the killing of a cop they cared deeply about.”

“That is why I am here…” she said with a sigh.

“Who do you want me to call if this goes the way I am sure it will?”

Akiko handed Sam a simple white envelope, “This is all the information you will need. I died by my own hand if my body is ever found.”

“You are one brave woman…and if they kill you, they will never find the body. But my guess is that you will live and regret this choice.”

“Live?” Akiko asked.

“Well live… as in still alive? But in what shape or form over the next few hundred years, who knows…the twins are powerful mages and know powerful Fae and other beings!” Sam warned that death is not the worst case here for this woman!

Deep down Sam knew that a few of the Twin’s servants or fighters or bonded Fae were people, humans that had crossed the pair in some way and the twins punished them by changing them into nymphs or other Fae. Sam had met a few of them from time to time. It only made sense to come to this conclusion, for a human to vanish in one case and suddenly a few weeks later the twins had a new servant or bonded Fae of some kind of fashion.

“I still request my meeting with them.” Akiko said, but this time she added a slight bow of respect to Sam.

“This letter says I can’t deny you this meeting and even goes farther to mention if you get harmed, all the documents are to vanish afterwards!”

“Well let's start by burning that letter in your hand, then erase the video tapes of my arrival here.” Akiko asked and pushed a decorative ashtray on Sam's desk over her way. That tray was a souvenir of her time way back in the SEAL teams, when she was in Asia stalking a few bad guys for the US. She never used the darn thing, the only use it had was for candy around halloween or Christmas time!

“Go ahead, might as well get that part over and add this letter of where you might want your remains sent to,” she said handing over the letter after memorizing it…as if she could forget anything in her life with being over ninety percent nano-computer after her two “accidents” in the last few years.

Akiko readied herself for this meet, one that might be her last act in life. She could have just walked right into Whateley and spoke to the twins without telling anyone. But it was only proper and polite custom to ask, rather than fully demand…everyone saves face and honor this way.

An hour later

The twins strolled into the security department and walked up to the desk sergeant, “We were told to see Sam about something?” rohanna asked while her twin Rehanna looked at the flier on the bulletin board for a shooting competition this next week.

“Sam will tell ya…in her office.” the desk Sergeant said thumbing over her shoulder towards Sam’s office

Rehanna tapped the flier on the wall, “We should do this one?”

“I’ll sign you both up on the system while you chat with Sam” the sergeant offered and he quickly went to work on his new task for the twins.

“Thanks Daniels, I am sure we are going to love that one!” Rehanna smiled as she had to nearly race after her twin into Sam’s office.

Rohanna stepped in the door of Sam’s office and leaned up on the door jamb, “So what's up Sam?’ she smiled and Rehanna leaned in over her twin’s shoulder, “Sam up what’s So?” she did in jest, like a mirror of speech might show the words printed out in reverse.

Sam did not even look up from her work, “You have a visitor that wants to have a little chat with both of you, they are waiting in interrogation two.”

“Sam?” Rehanna reacts with a tilt of her head, “You are acting real funny?”

“Just meet with the woman in interrogation two please,”

“As you say Sam…only because you asked us to.” Rohanna sighed as she stood up straight.

Both teens walked across the security department over to where the hallway leading to the cells was and the short hall with the interrogation rooms. Rehanna took the lead into the hallways as her twin held the door and noted the control panel on ‘interrogation two’ by pointing her finger at it, “This might be why they wanted us here?” she said tapping the panel and all the lit lights indicating that the room had its jammers on blacking all ways to listen into the room’s occupants via a radio bug and the rest of the lights showed all the rooms privacy systems were on full bore!

Rohanna found the door was already unlocked for them, so she waited for her twins and nodded…”Hummm they have it all open for us, so that means she is not locked up as a prisoner or really dangerous to the school.”

Rohanna flipped up the cover on the small “peep” window of the room and found an Asian woman inside pacing a few feet on the far side of the smallish space, “Well she is very well dressed for starters, that is the latest from Takahashi!”....yes the twins follow fashion worldwide, when you only sleep about an hour so in three or four days…means you got tons of free time to read things off the net!

The woman was the only thing in the room besides that four very strong chairs and table made from very fine steel that could take the punishment mutants teens might give it.

Rehanna grabbed the door’s handle and gave it a slow twist and opened it cautiously, “You requested a meeting with us? She asked using most of the door like a shield till she was sure of what or who was in the room and if they were a threat. She spotted the only thing out of place was a small simple wooden box already sitting on the table.

The woman was a bit startled when Rehanna spoke, as the drow had opened that door very quietly. “I am Akiko Yamamoto,” the obvious to anyone that looked Japanese woman said, as she stepped forward and gave a slight bow of respect to the twins.

Innerly Akiko thought this might be her last day and that only the Twins would decide her fate…either accept her heartfelt apology that the ones under her had overstepped their bounds by an INSANE margin…or they would kill her…in a single heartbeat or make her death longer painfully over decades!

Akiko pulled a business card case from inside her jacket pocket and presented the card with respect, “My personal number, call upon me day or night.” she offered and once again she gave a slight bow. This was a tradition to exchange business cards and this one was a very personal one for Akiko to hand to anyone. It did have a number she would answer anytime day or night! The ‘card’ itself was made of finest materials. The core of the card was a thin yet strong core of Mithril, that was then covered in several layers of gold and then finally wrapped in a last layer of engraved gold wood. She had two of the cards made just for the twins to honor them and the cost for the small batch was substantial!

Rohanna was the first twin to step into the room and took the offered card and as she did, her sight noted the extensive tattoos covering both of the woman’s wrists that marked the woman as either a tattoo enthusiast or Yakusza! Rehanna also stepped inside of the room as room was made for her, closing the door behind lastly with a soft click and again the woman presented her with a card that was the same as her twin’s.

Both twins stood between Akiko and the room’s only door, so she started to explain the reason for the meeting, “I am the leader of ALL Syndicut operations on the east coast, from Maine down to Virginia and westward to the Mississippi river. I also lead all the Yakuza of the Kanto region of Japan and a little beyond.”

Rehanna’s head tilted a little bit to that statement just before she spoke and started to side step a bit to give her room to strike, “So you are the leader behind what happened in Jersey?”

“YAAA that little child sex trafficking ring we busted up and turned your underling leading it into a Jackson Pollock painting all over her office!” Rohanna growled in warning.

“I understand your anger,” Akiko said as she stepped back two steps and her back hit the room's far wall…nowhere to go in a room with two enraged Drow, many beings never made it out of this kind of situation alive.

“...Understand…she says,” Rehanna laughed as she thumbed Akiko’s way for her twin.

“Yes we ‘understand’...soon you will understand all the wonders of the universe after your death.” Rohanna warned.

Rehanna shook her head to that idea, “Death…ohhh fuck no…this punishment is going to last decades!”

“If you want to end me…fine I understand the anger behind it. BUT please let me explain first?” Akiko asked the pair.

Rohanna shrugged, “Fine…you are not going anywhere soon…” she smiled and gave ‘air quotes’ when she said “soon”, like it was final!

Rehanna stepped over to one of the room’s chairs on one side of the room and pulled it out from under the room’s only table and she offered it to Akiko, “please sit, rest, take a load off while you tell us a story?” she grinned ear to ear.

Akiko did as the drow asked and watched on as Rehanna took the chair next to it and jammed it under the room’s doorknob, thus making sure it would be VERY hard for anyone to open the door from the outside! Then she took a seat across the table with her twin…the span of the table looked like a continent to Akiko. One side was her living and the other was certain death…the twins!

“So Lucy get to Xplainign!” Rohanna said in a faked Ricky Recardo accent!

Akiko started to explain or ask why she should be forgiven by the pair and why ‘The Syndicate’ should not be held responsible for the acts of a few rough players in New Jersey. “I have seen that all involved in leading or planning or finally majorly profiting in the Jersey child sex ring and sex slave ring are very dead,” she started.

“We already saw to Summer’s demise.” Rehanna stated.

“More like painted a room with her!” Rohanna boasted with ease and that did not bode well with Akiko as the pair admitting to a major crime like murder…said her odds of leaving the room alive were very low!

“In any case they are all gone and nothing like what they do or did, is what ‘The Syndicut’ approves of. We see crimes of that matter or evil…they might be money makers, BUT the attention they create or attention they pull in towards our other operations is far worse and loses money in the end for us…so we ban anything like them fully!”

“Well that takes care of the persons leading the place for the most part, but what about the kids you hurt?” Rehanna asked.

“We are helping all the kids you released and reuniting them with family or taking care of them with the help of the state or local authorities.”

“And the ones that got sold?”

“We are trying.”

“Get on your phone and TRY FUCKING HARDER! I want you to find every one of them, rescue them, buy them back and help them for life!” Rohanna made her demands heard with a shout of anger.

“I can’t do that task dead…now can I?”

“You are Yakusza…make it your last order and bound your underlings by honor to fully obey it!” Rehanna smiled knowing the way of the crime family…honor was the top most linchpin of the whole operation, without it…it would have crumbled a hundred years ago plus!

“I will do as you demand, after I plead my case and before you both render your verdicts on my life.” she nodded.

“Well are you going on, or are these your last words?” Rehanna smiled her question to the lady.

“I have a bit more to offer,” she started

“Better be good, because I have yet to hear anything that is going to save your life so far?” Rohanna said in anger.

“Your friend Officer Garibaldi…” She started, but did not get to finish the rest of the sentence before Rohanna kicked out against the table with both of her strong legs, which sent the steel table sliding across the floor at high speed towards Akiko. The table smashed into Akiko’s body with enough force to slide her backwards into the wall, where the table smashed into her once again as Rehanna finished shoving it towards her till it pinned her body to the wall. The whole act had broken several of her ribs badly.

Rohanna jumped on top of the table in one smooth motion and pulled one of her blades from nothing, “Say his name again and I ram you through right now!” she barked and cried at the same time while shoving the blade at Akiko’s heart…you could hear the deep grief shaking in her voice.

“Sorry?” she gasped back at the twin clearly in pain, “I will never say that name as long as I live!”

Rohanna sighed as she stepped off the table, “Go on and keep to your word and promise!”

“I have made sure all the people that ordered his death are gone.” Akiko croaked in agony as she shoved the table back off her midsection, before she wrapped an arm around her waist in pain from the impact and broken ribs.

Rehanna smashed a fist on the table, the act of anger dented the table a bit, “We should have been given that pleasure of ending their lives or finding a suitable punishment…not you!”

“I am sorry, I just thought I would save you the trouble. Just know their end was not a quick one. I do have video tape of each one if you want it right here,” she said sliding a memory stick across the table.

“We will look at this later.” Rohanna said pocketing the small item quickly.

“And there best not be any surprises in that stick, because the person that will look at it for us will find them and then…queue up that bad kind of music you’d hear in a horror picture and bad ending for you and lots of people around you!” Rehanna warned!

“On my honor there is only video on that stick, but I will also add we will help or support your lost freind’s family for their lives.” she offered.

“He only had his young wife, they were planning on a huge family and already had a huge home ready for all those children” Rohanna choked up, “But you killed him before he could have any kids…you ended his bloodline!”

That is when Akiko pulled an envelope from under that small handmade wooden box she had on the table, “Please read this after I have left or after you punish me, it's good news about your friend and please…wait till after you choose my fate.I do not want what is inside there affecting my fate for the good or bad.” she asked.

“Fine and go on?” Rehanna huffed as she spun the envelope around and around the table like it was a fidget toy…she was growing very impatient by the second, she wanted to end this mess and maybe end Akiko right now.

“I have this last item to offer, one that is demanded on my honor and by the Yakuza oaths I swore to almost from my birth.” she said and started to open the wooden box’s lid on the table.

Rohanna stopped her hand from pulling the lid off the top of the box, “I bet there is a very nice knife inside that box…you do know it will not kill either one of us before you lose that cute head of yours?” the angry drow teen asked and told at the same time.

“Yes there Tanto in this box and it's so I can perform, Yubitsume ("finger shortening") to return at least part of my honor or face?” She told Rohanna with a look of determination on her face, she needed to do this act…it was her honor at stake before she died by their hands, to deny this act told her, that she was one hundred percent worthless to them…honorless forever!

Rohanna lifted her hand and then sliced a finger across Akiko’s left arm just below her elbow, “I think a little finger is not going to cut it as an apology in this case, perhaps most of your arm might be better?” she suggested with an evil grin and a nod.

With a port, Rehanna appeared standing next to the seated Akiko and placed her sharp blade to her throat, “I think chopping off your head would be best?” she suggested and Akiko’s breathing made her neck swell against the blade just enough for the action to start slicing her. Blood started to flow in drops, then as her neck pressed the insanely sharp blade with each breath. A small river of blood flowed along the blade and down her neck.

“Your choice, my life and honor are in your hands Rehanna.” Akiko said, trying not to make the growing cut in her neck worse…for now anyway!

“Let’s hear her out,” Rohanna suggested.

“Fine, let's be gentle with humans…in my day she would be dead…all the Syndicate leadership and most of the Yakuza leadership in Japan by the next full moon!” Rehanna barked her threats as she retook her seat across the table!

Well it was all laid out before Akiko now, she had to make this apology count or the twins would tear right through most of the Syndicate's leadership before they could appease them or even think to stop them!

Akiko slipped off the lid of the box and pulled out the white handled Tanto and placed it to one side as she pulled the rest of the box’s contents. She unfolded a large white silk square on the table, a smaller square of the same silk, then tore two long strips off the smaller square and started to tie them around her ‘pinky’ finger and ‘ring’ finger as low as they would go. She pulled the strips insanely tight till they made tourniquets!

Normally one would sacrifice a single knuckle or segment of a finger to regain your honor or as punishment and in the worst case, two on the same finger. Akiko was planning to sacrifice two knuckles of two of her fingers to appease the twins. She had gone through all of her life in the Yakuza without ever having to do this act of regaining one’s honor…thirty one years!

“I hope this act regains my honor and your forgiveness Leigh…Sans.” Akiko said as she sliced off her pinky and moved the blade over to the next finger to slice off the next one in such a smooth motion it looked natural. The action was as if she had practiced the act many times, she did not waver or even whimper as she cut off her own fingers. She wrapped her hand in silk and then folded the now cut off digits in the larger cloth, then slid them over to the twins as an offering.

“I want to let her go for now.” Rohanna mentally told her twin.

“Why? She deserves death and you know it!”

“She might do more good living, in helping to find those missing kids than her underlings might do with her dead…her honor is at stake.”

“Fine she lives…for now!” Rehanna barked mentally.

Rohanna shook her head, “Now just get out of here, keep your promise to find those girls and boys you enslaved and we best see some results by week’s end. Remember spending YOUR money on fixing this had better NOT have a limit? Because fixing that mess is the only way your leaders will all see the coming years!” she threatened and stood up to open the door for Akiko’s escape from the room!

“Yes Leigh san, I will and may your lives be long and joyful.” she offered before going out of the room and down the hallway, Once outside of the holding room and interrogation area, she was spotted by Sam.

“What happened in there and why is your hand all bloody…did they hurt you?” Sam asked.

“No the Leigh sans did not harm me, I did this to regain my honor and as I said before this was all my choice…they did not force me to this act…I swear on my children's lives. I must go!” she said quickly leaving the security department as fast as she could muster with broken ribs to save some face and personal honor.

The twins sighed in unison before leaving the interrogation room, Rehanna stared at her twin, “She best do as she promised or I am going to be mad at you for being so easy on her!”

“Akiko will keep her promises and help those kids…I know it's a gamble. But the bet is, my personal bet is she does better alive than dead.” she reasoned to her twin and Rehanna just growled back, “She better do just that and better, because I am thinking of several ways to make her life hell for decades!”

Shadowsblade here.

This story in a joint venture with a group of fan fic authors, so far this group is made up of Nuuan, then Branek and finally myself. We all got together and after a jumpy start decided to make a group of stories that all take place within the Whateley fanfic universe.

To have an idea about the main protagonist this story's will develop
around here is a short introduction.

Vantier a Whateley Tale :Written by Shadowsblade
Ancient and Powerful Vantier awakens in a foreign world, struggling to
find her place in it.

You might ask yourself what is the Whateley Universe? To make it short,
here is a abstract straight out off the wiki.

Whateley is a Prep School for different teens. VERY different ones. Where else could a kid go to a school that has a resident demon living in the furnace? Or meet magic users, mutants of every imaginable kind, get trained in how to handle some rather odd abilities, and worry about
flunking Freshman English? Come visit Whateley Academy, nestled in the
lovely hills of New Hampshire. Just down the road from a town named
Dunwich... (Mythos jokes purely intentional).
This is the Whateley Academy Universe, a shared universe with over a dozen authors and more than a hundred stories (and counting). The stories range in size from vignettes to novels. It's a Mutant High scenario with both a strong transgender theme and a slightly watered down Cthulhu Mythos theme.

It's also very much a work in progress.'
If you want further information you will find them on.

But I have to thank, Both Branek and Nuuan for their vast input and the ability they both have to 'bounce' off ideas and improve them!
