[colour=Thistle]"Honestly, sis, what are you thinking? This isn't a good idea, y'know."[/colour] Isabel sighed, looking down upon one of Penrose's many alleyways, unlit by the lights of the nearby streets. The two had been waiting for hours, which was evidenced by the deck of cards strewn across the roof, and the Twin Soul had begun to get impatient.

Charlotte simply stared down at the cobbled street, waiting for their mark to arrive.
[colour=Brown]"Why would anyone recognise us, Isabel? It's been three years since they killed us."[/colour] she retorted simply, not breaking line of sight with the ground below, [colour=Brown]"And even if they did, we can diffuse the situation. There's nothing to be afraid of."[/colour]

To that, Isabel pouted, and made a show of looking offended.
[colour=Thistle]"Me, afraid? Why would I be afraid when I have sissy with me~?"[/colour] she quickly snatched her twin up into a cuddle, rubbing their cheeks together in what was obviously more than sisterhood affection, [colour=Thistle]"Hey, y'know, we could just kidnap someone for the information."[/colour]

As if on queue, the person they had been waitng for ducked into the alley. It was a male, wearing a blazer and tie, emblazoned with the logo of a fictional school. 
[colour=Brown]"If we kidnap them, we'll have all of Beacon after us. That's our last resort."[/colour] she eyed the boy curiously, gauging him as best she could, [colour=Brown]"That's them; c'mon, lets go."[/colour]

Once the boy passed by their perch in the alley, the two swiftly and quietly climbed down, and approached him. Their footfalls echoed against the concrete walls, and his attention turned along with his head. The first thing he saw were their wings. Immediately, he lept backwards, and leveled a gun at their heads.

[colour=Thistle]"Huh? Don't be so jumping, we dont want a fight!"[/colour] Isabel chirped, skipping closer to the boy, [colour=Thistle]"We were just looking for somebody in Beacon. We've been stopping every Magical Girl and Boy we can find!"[/colour]

He stared at her skeptically, taking in the two girls as best he could. Despite them seemingly being friendly, he wasn't exactly prepared to take them at their word, and so kept his gun where it was. The wings, too, had him concerned.
[b]"Alright then..."[/b] he glanced between them, [b]"I'm David, and I'm a member of Beacon."[/b] he took a small step back, widening the distance between himself and the girls, [b]"What exactly do you require?"[/b]

Charlotte stepped forward and crossed her arms, casting a somewhat disapproving glance towards Isabel.
[colour=Brown]"We've been looking to join... Our patron isn't particularly caring of us, and it's nature causes other girls to alienate themselves from us."[/colour] she stated matter-of-factly, [colour=Brown]"We don't really know much about Beacon, so we've been looking for someone to help us."[/colour]

David gave the two another cursory once over, checking to see if their body language indicated anything that would verify or cast doubt over their claim. 
[b]"What are your names, and who is your patron? I might be able to pass you onto a Beckoner, or another member who can do so."[/b] he stated, still cautious about the situation; he was outnumbered, and somewhat new to the job. If they had any experience at all they could probably take him out with ease.

[colour=Brown]"I'm Charlotte."[/colour]
[colour=Thistle]"And I'm Isabel. Hiya~!"[/colour] they both replied, eliciting a somewhat concerned look from their new acquaintance.
[b]"I've heard those names before..."[/b] he pondered for a second, wondering where those two names would have come up, [b]"Have you two ever had dealings with Beacon before?"[/b]

[colour=Thistle]"No, of course not, silly! If we had, we wouldn't have to ask for your help, now would we?"[/colour] Isabel replied, full of energy as per usual, [colour=Thistle]"Have there been others girls named similarly to us who have been members before? That would be terrible, having our reputations tarnished already..."[/colour]

The male pulled out his phone, and texted one of his Beacon friends. It simply read [i]"Who are Charlotte and Isabel?"[/i] If he had heard the names before, it must have been from Beacon, which meant that other members must have known too.
[b]"It would be, you're right."[/b] as he spoke, and idea suddenly came to his head, [b]"One last question; what are your Specialisations?"[/b]

Isabel glanced back towards Charlotte, and tilted her head, looking for confirmation as to whether they should reveal it. Charlotte nodded, and the Twin Soul turned back towards David.
[colour=Thistle]"We can make anything inorganic decay into nothing!"[/colour] she chirped, picking up a can of generic alcohol from the ground. As she lifted it, the metal darkened in colour, and started to, somewhat quickly, crumble in on itself.

At that, the boys eyes widened. He realised exactly who the two girls were. His phone buzzed at that second, causing him to start. The message confirmed exactly what he thought. [i]"Stay away from them. They're dangerous."[/i] That wouldn't do, he thought. He had to bring them down. They [i]murdered[/i] Beacon girls. 

With a neutral expression, he let the gun drop to his side. He walked up to the two, and smiled.
[b]"I just got a message back from one of my friends. She said I've gotta take you to one of the usual meeting places, and we'll she about having you join up, okay?"[/b]

Isabel quickly ran up and gave David a hug. It was clear she was incredibly happy with the outcome.
[colour=Thistle]"Thank you, thank you, thank you, David!"[/colour] she exclaimed, all the while hugging him closer and closer.  Charlotte didn't go to move, however. Instead she stood, watching, making sure her sister was safe. Which was when she saw it. 

His hand raised, pointing the gun towards Isabel's abdomen. The next second he fired, but not before Charlotte had rushed to him and pulled his arm away from her sister. The shot echoed through the alley, and Isabel jumped back, making a play of looking totally awe-struck. With his arm restrained, she went to bend and break it, but as she did the pistol he held vanished, and in his other hand appeared a knife, which he promptly swung at his captor.

She lept back, summoning her spear from the aether. 
[b]"You're surprisingly fast, I'll give you that."[/b] he said, before throwing the knife towards the girl. Raising her spear, she deflected it, causing the metal and plastic to slowly decay into mulch. Noting that, David formed another pistol in his hand.
[b]"Come on then. Attack."[/b] his taunts were enough to spur Charlotte on. She already had enough anger inside her from him attempting to shoot Isabel, she didn't need encouragement to cut him into pieces.

The Mahou charged, blocking a couple shots the boy fired off as she ran. Once in close proximity, she took a swing, connecting with the gun, which he used as a shield. As the two collided, the pistol immediately began to crumble, but it quickly vanished, and in its place sat an entirely new submachine gun. 

Before he could start firing, though, the sound of a crossbow firing resounded through the alley. The bolt stuck into the new gun, disintegrating the material around it until it loosened and fell from the hole. David jumped backwards, just as a second bolt fired past him, and stuck into the wall, which, too, began to crumble.
[b]"So you're a Twin Soul."[/b] he deduced, looking over them both.
[colour=Thistle]"And your power is that of a Hammerspace."[/colour] Isabel retorted, much to the surprise of their adversary, [colour=Thistle]"All of Beacon will be on their way, sis; we need to wrap this up sooner rather than later."[/colour]

David smirked, drawing from the air a machine gun, and leveled it at Charlotte. 
[b]"Alright then, let us see how you fair with this."[/b] except before he got the chance to fire, again, a bolt fired, striking him square in the chest. Or at least, it should have done. Instead, though, and much to the surprise of the girls, it passed straight through, and his form glitched into nothing. 

A gunshot sounded from behind Charlotte, who quickly turned in shock to see her sister narrowly avoid having her head blown clean off. She rolled across the ground and skipped to her feet, drawing a playing card from behind her. As soon is it was free she threw it, and before he could move it bounced off of the gun, instantly crumbling to nothing, while causing the gun the same fate.
[b]"You can do it remotely, too? Your magic is powerfu-"[/b] it looked as though he had gotten used to having his sentences and actions cut short, as Charlotte's spear sailed through the air and embeded itself in the ground beside him. 

In his hand formed a grenade. The two sisters gave a slight start as he pulled the pin from it and through it, before running straight at them, in the same direction the grenade was headed. 
[colour=Brown][i]"Isabel get down!"[/i][/colour] Charlotte shouted, but Isabel ignored her. Instead, she pulled a throwing knife from her Hammerspace, and tossed it at the boy. 

The blade sunk into his arm, eliciting a yelp of pain, which immediately the grenade to vanish. Except, he didn't stop running. Instead, he drew from the air a shotgun, and quickly began firing at the two of them. Isabel yelped, caught off guard, and ducked immediately beneath the pellets. Charlotte, too, ducked, and slid her way to her sister. She rounded her, and ran at the boy, who promptly took another shot in her direction. 

Evading that, she reached to grab the shotgun from his grasp, except as she did the weapon vanished. In its place was a kitchen knife, which found itself thrust at the Mahou. But before it got close to damaging, another card slammed into its blade. David startled as the metal began to rust, giving Charlotte a chance to grab his arm. With it in her grasp, she grabbed his shoulder, circled around him, and pushed him to the ground, before breaking his arm. 

The boy cried out in pain, and summoned something else into his hand. A second grenade. He bit the ring and tore it away, and rolled it towards Isabel with all the force he could muster. The action found itself futile, though, as the girl simply smiled. She grabbed the grenade in one hand, causing Charlotte to shout at her to throw it. But instead she simply destroyed it; the grenade crumbled, unable to explode, as she poured her mana into it, and disintegrated it.

[colour=Brown]"That could have gone much better..."[/colour] Charlotte sighed, glancing over to Isabel as she walked towards the two, [colour=Brown]"And I wish you wouldn't be so reckless."[/colour]

[colour=Thistle]"Says you, Miss "Running-At-A-Shotgun"."[/colour] she giggled, hugging her sister close once she arrived, [colour=Thistle]"We need to get out of here. Lets take him with us!"[/colour] she suggested, pulling a syringe from her Hammerspace.

Charlotte considered it for a second, then nodded. They still needed information. He would be unharmed, of course, and they'd release him when he said what they needed... It would also make for a bit of a bargaining chip, if needed. Isabel took the cap off the needle, and injected it into the boys neck, letting him drift into unconciousness. Once he was out, she gave his sister a kiss on the forehead, and danced off into the alley.

[colour=Brown]"All of Beacon will be looking for us, I hope you know that."[/colour] she said, lifting David up over her shoulder.
[colour=Thistle]"I thought they were already after us~?"[/colour] Isabel retorted, eliciting a small laugh from Charlotte, as they lept up onto the rooftop, and back towards their safehouse.

[hr]

[colour=Thistle]"We should go find Thalia, y'know."[/colour] Isabel suggested on the way, glancing over to her sister, [colour=Thistle]"Lothreen says she has a girlfriend! She's gotta meet the parents at some point, right~?"[/colour]
[colour=Brown]"Do you even have any idea where they live?"[/colour] Charlotte questioned to her Twin Soul, hoisting their catch back over her shoulder.
[colour=Thistle]"Yup! Lothreen gave me the details! How about we go tomorrow and surprise them~?"[/colour]
[colour=Brown]"After we talk to this guy. Then we can go visit this girlfriend. Whats her name?"[/colour]
[colour=Thistle]"Penny. She works for Laat'AlOfan, that scary Deity Lothreen isn't very keen on."[/colour]
[colour=Brown]"She had better be cute..."[/colour]
[colour=Thistle]"Like me~?"[/colour]
[colour=Brown]"Exactly like you~"[/colour]
