1 Week Later

Claudia sat in a room, a well furnished roman villa style room, yet draped and laden with more Victorian style fabrics strewn across the areas. This was the deep inside House Rhea, and Claudia sat before the twins Ella and Gabby. Berserker stood behind Claudia. Standing behind the Twins was Ruber, he was almost completely back to normal, curse him and his healing factor, that would be an issue if worst came to worst. 
'Don't show them your true power.' The Gentleman had told her when she had come to get what she came for.

The twins were a bit bruised up, but they were getting better quickly too. 
"So what can we do for you." Ella said calmly but also meaning she wasn't in a mood to fuck about.

"Alysis woe and her band of misfits." Claudia said.

Ella's fists clenched. "What about them..." she said with a low growl.

"I know you are forbidden from hurting them. But I know you want them gone, I'm a first year I can legitimately fight and kill them. If you give me what I want." Claudia said, feeling the 3 pairs of piercing eyes on her.

"The house of Rhea has many prospectives, many will do anything to get a place between our walls." Ella responded.
"And they would do it for free." Gabby added.

"Ah, but do they hold one of these." Claudia pulled out her Arcana Alumni card. "And can they bring back his brother." She spoke as she gestured to Ruber. 

"I can bring my brother back any time I wish, I don't need your help." Ruber spat.

Claudia took a deep breath, "But can that restore who he was, the last 3 years you spent together, the memories. Surely if you use your noble phantasm he will be as he was when you first were summoned, fresh." 

"You arrogant wench!" Ruber shouted, his eyes starting to glow.

"Calm down Ruber! Geez!." Gabby said to the angry wolfman. "You can bring Venetus back to how he was?" 

"Yes, I have a way with memories." Claudia spoke, she remembered the Gentleman's plan, it had to work. 

"Ok, say you do this. What exactly do you want?" Ella asked.

"All I want is your permission." Claudia said curtly.

"Permission?" Gabby asked slightly confused. 

"Yes permission. Permission to take down Alysis Woe, and permission to count on your complete cooperation in all efforts towards that goal. I know you would so love to do it yourself, but this is the next best thing, so I thought I could always use a couple of wolves in my field." 

Ella and Gabby looked at each other and then to Ruber and then back to Claudia. Then they smiled. "Sure, so fix Venetus and we can start talking tactics ok."

Claudia nodded. "Well bring him out then." 
Ella looked to Ruber and nodded, Ruber's red robes shimmered and they were a mix of red, blue and purple. And then he shimmered and there were two, one red and one blue. "Venetus?" Gabby asked.

"Are you my master?" Venetus asked. Ruber turned to Claudia "Fix him them." 

Claudia flinched, don't show them your true self. "Yes of course, but first I need some of your blood." She said to Ruber.

"What?" He responded. 

"I can using my nature magecraft read the memory of biological matter, see its life, its past all of it. You and Venetus shared a psychic connection did you not, his memories are also locked away in your cell's, I can transplant them back into this new body." Claudia explained.

Ruber looked to Ella, who looked to Gabby. "I just want him back, if it works it works." He said, eager to have his servant back, his echo. 
Ruber gritted his teeth and nodded. He opened his hand a stiletto knife appeared in his hand and he stabbed it into his plan. Blood trickled down, and Claudia dabbed two fingers in the blood, and her eyes went white, she saw everything, all of it, more than they knew they would let her see. 

"I've got it." Claudia said and walked upto the newly summoned Venetus, who was looking at Ruber for directions on how to act in this odd situation. "Are you my master?" Venetus asked Claudia. 
"No, he is." She said pointing to Gabby. Venetus turned and she placed her fingers on his forehead, and she opened her powers towards him, and she began to take parts from Ruber's memory and moments when they shared thoughts to rebuild Venetus past 3 years. And then it was done. Venetus stumbled back with a start. "Argh! What have you done!?" Venetus shouted and jumped onto Ruber and started to punch him. At first Claudia was worried, but then Ruber started to laugh.

"I told you, always and forever." He said and punched him back. 
"I was going to sup at fathers table!" He shouted.
"Not yet tonight do we dine in hell, dear brother." 

Claudia cleared her throat. "Now now, I've held up my end of the deal. Are you going to lend me the strength of Rhea?"

Ella looked at Gabby, who looked at Ruber who looked at Venetus, who scowled back at Ruber. 
"Well the thing is, you may be half English. But you reek of Tia, the Gentleman has his hands all over you, and we don't like making deals with guys like that. You should have made us sign a geas, but I guess that is where you first years fall short." 

"What we had a deal!" Claudia shouted. 
"And now we don't. Our two vs your one, bad odds newbie, Ruber get rid of her." Ella said and turned to leave.

Berserker stepped forward, but Venetus stepped up first. "Leave the girl be, brother!" He said.
"Gah, will somebody just get her out of here then." Gabby said sighing heavily, eager to leave. 

Claudia looked to Berserker and the two of them made for the exit, while Venetus confronted his brother. 

When they were well out of earshot, Claudia smiled. "For an arrogant pair of super twins, they were fooled so easily." 
"What do you mean, I do love a good prank?" Berserker asked. 
"Like when I am able to fix parts of your memory from your moments of lucidity, I never have had to cut you to take and preserve those memories, I didn't lie I need to touch biological matter, hair or skin would have done just fine, but for their eagerness we got this." She raised the two fingers she had used to dab Venetus, on the tips Ruber's dried blood. 

"An important part of the ritual, blood of he who lives within another, and another lives within he. The blood of a twinned soul." Claudia said as they walked back to Tia to meet with the gentleman, who was throwing a dinner party today to try and tempt some of the Arcana Minors to join up with Tia, or at least that is how he presented it. Her next job was to get the Magic Mirror of William Branson's Servant Caster, or at least the essence of it. That could be hard or very easy, it depends entirely on the mood between her and William on that day. She would probably find William somewhere later today and get the next piece of the Gentlemans ritual.
