Viktor stood quietly at the rear for the mission briefing. Not being selected as the leader for a mission was beginning to strike a nerve. Kass was the obvious choice, and he had been the second in command for the previous two missions, but he wanted a chance to prove he could lead the team to surefire victory. He wanted there to be no doubt in anyone’s mind that he had led the team to success. Why? Maybe it was just to show he could pull the leadership position off better than the others or perhaps he wanted to make sure things were done his way. It was toxic, yes, but he wanted his team to be successful and their lives unthreatened by complacency.

He thought he might be able to slink back into the secondary leadership position, but Kass left with “Ja” trailing her. I can discuss my position with Kass when she returns. For now he decided to actually follow Daphne’s lead for once and inspect the diving suit. It was interesting to him how much it resembled his own suit minus the hood over the helmet and black coloration. He wondered who went through the effort in designing such a suit. The butler? Viktor glanced at Talon for a moment wondering if he had deduced the same. The guy had been offly quiet and to himself since the incident at the circus. Sure, he had gotten the intelligence after the fact, but he was defeated and possibly compromised by whoever attacked him. Comforting the young man was not his responsibility, and even if it was, he’d be negligent in it. He did not like Talon and Black Canary simply requested him to hold back his criticisms. If Talon let failure destroy him, then he was never meant to be on this team.

“Alisa, how do you feel about this mission. You have a suit to protect you but even a minor breach of it could be detrimental, yes?” His bias towards Alisa showed, and using her full name might come off as different. He’d considered Batwoman’s suggestion, but he still preferred “A.” He’d test out the difference in reception today.

Kaleb felt a wave of relief when Eris suddenly arrived on the scene bearing a treat! I swear this woman has the best timing. It's not like I needed the help, but improvising like this has its limits… even for someone of my calibre. Kaleb linked his arms with Eris', smiling as he took a hold of the honey toast. It was a much needed snack and it looked absolutely delicious despite being a little heavy on the carbs.

“Wow this look amazing!” Kaleb said with faked awe before taking a bite. Damn… this is some good bread. Kaleb chowed down as the group started to stroll along with Eris telling the group what she had seen where all the commotion had come from. The beginning of what she was saying, he partially took note of. It wasn't of importance from his perspective. The mentioning of a dwarf staring longingly at an elven woman, however, drew his attention. Coincidence? Not a chance! That has to be Arn. And if it isn't...

“That was likely Arn. Just as I thought. Always the ogler.” Kaleb smirked as the smear continued. His eyes met with Eris' only for a short moment as he mentally acknowledged her convenience again. Suspicious? Not even. Kaleb was relieved that the woman came in so clutch. If things were looking up before, then things were definitely looking even higher now. Kaleb might not find Princess Annya but he would at least enjoy a great evening at a bar. Minus the wolf, the group was even, so the dynamic was perfect… Well it was perfect.

Rue suddenly decided to take off after making a few strange expressions in her eerie silence. He watched as she flew away with Moonlight trailing her on the ground. Despite her sudden departure, Kaleb was not too surprised by it. Ever since Rue arrived, there had been an odd tension between her and Bowyn. It almost felt like they got into some sort of fight and hadn't officially made up. It wasn't his problem though, so he casually waved goodbye to Rue as she left them.

“Are we still good to go to the bar or do you gotta… y'know… address that?” He gave a quick nod towards Rue who was still visibly in the air. Kaleb didn't even mind if Bowyn ran after his friend as River Port proved to be quite a small locale. Worst case scenario, Kaleb would run into the guy tomorrow. “Eris and I are good with whatever floats your boat. Right, Eris?” He grinned at his favorite person in Avalia by far. Eris was the best.

Kaleb stared at Moonlight’s snout some as Bowyn brought up the wolf’s teeth and a reasoning as to why the animal wouldn’t attack him. He makes it seem like the wolf is just ready to put someone in the obituary. Noted. He gave an uneasy smile to Bowyn.

“Thanks for the tip.” Kaleb said just before Bowyn went on to address Rue. He told her Kaleb was looking for Annya and how he knew Arn. That lie was really growing, but luckily in Kaleb’s favor.

He was waiting on Rue’s reply as to why Arn was not with her, when some commotion was heard in a fast growing crowd down the boardwalk. I wonder what’s going on over there. He heard what he assumed were females shouting before as he looked in the direction of the crowd.

“I’m not too invested in looking for Arn honestly, but I bet he’s not far from whatever conflict that is over there.” Kaleb smirked and crossed his arms over his chest. “We should continue to the bar if we’re searching for Annya. She wouldn’t be trying to draw that much attention to herself. Besides, I’m in the mood for a good drink.”

Slick lit up at the mention of Avalia actually having firearms. He wished he had a rifle or hell even just one of his pistols, but the magical portal went and messed that up. Rather expensive, huh? Slick was already trying to game plan on a way to acquire funds, but the mention of snapping necks drew his attention.

“Snappin’ necks? Easier?” He gave Kuroi a look of perplexity before nodding some. “You gotta show me what that looks like. Not here though ‘cus the folk are already eyeing us. I don’t mind a good tussle, but I ain’t tryin’ to start trouble like we did in the previous town.” Slick to a swig of the rich tasting beer before answering Kuroi. The fox-man seemed to still be curious about his world, and Slick could relate to him being that he just arrived in Avalia. Slick had initially thought he wouldn’t like Kuroi but the man seemed to be alright by his standards. He hadn’t tried to cross him or threaten him yet, so there was that.

“Well, I noticed you use those strange coins to buy stuff. You guys even use it for the heftier items.” Slick was digging into his bag with his free hand before pulling out a worn folded up one dollar bill. “Sure, we still use coin, but this baby here is what you want. Light, foldable, and easy to hide too.” He let go of his beer to unfold the dollar to display the front showing the United States heading with President George Washington looking his finest. He quickly crumpled the dollar up and placed it back into his bag “But your people got some things right. You all got bathing and grooming down. I mean I haven’t got a whiff of an ounce of must since being here. I figure the big green fellas like that one would smell something fierce, but they’re alright.” He had briefly pointed at Uzul who was seated by himself. “Where I’m from ain't so clean. Sleeping outside, not bathing for days, and then there was the sun. It beat down so hard. I reckon just as hard as this place… What else… It’s kind of hard not to get into the details. Just think, you and I are speakin’ one on one without some middle man trying to decipher what each of us are sayin’ to one another. Now I find that to be a grand thing to think about. There’s a lot of differences, but what really freaks me out are the similarities.” Slick then chugged the rest of his first beer. He set it down hard on the counter and looked Kuroi in the eyes. “So what’s the next move in this adventure of ours. I figure you’d know better than I with you and the lady being an item and all.”

Astra wanted to roll her eyes at Vrexen's comment, but she also wanted to keep those from being clawed out by Vrexen. And though she did not like what the demon had to say, he might have had a point. She'd gone this long with the skills she had in her repertoire, but she was still quite young for an elf and she could imagine what dangers Vrexen would have her go through. Vrexen and Myra were more than capable of defending themselves, and sure she chose to tag along with the two so she could continue her con artistry without fear of bounty hunters, debt collectors, and those she had crossed. Plus, the elf was sure Vrexen was the type that sought the usefulness in a person and seemed to have no qualms with killing the useless. In fact, Vrexen simply killed a Light Elven slave just for the hell of it.

When Myra tugged at her dress and raised her arms, Astra smirked knowing the demon had earned her reward in the removal of the clothing.

“A deal's a deal. You can be naked if it's just us three.” Astra pulled the dress off of Myra and gave a nod towards the bed. “Go head. I'll join you once I get in the mood. By the way, do either of you bathe?”

“Of course. Bathing can help mask scent. Soil and bodily fluids work best.” Astra silently nodded to herself before walking away into the bathroom with her bag. She was glad Vrexen would be sleeping on the floor tonight.

Today was the day. The first day of freedom from his grounding due to the night he had spent with Alisa. Things were definitely looking up now with the jeep mostly repaired and again having the ability to leave the premises whenever he wanted to. Viktor had started to miss the carvings he had started on the trees outside the HQ and knocking baseballs out to god knows where. Unfortunately, Viktor was most likely not doing either of his favorite outdoor activities. Today had been reserved for his mentor of all people, Batwoman. He was surprised she even wanted to see him since she had basically sent him away to the Young Justice team as soon as she could. She claimed that protocol dictated that she check up on him every once in a while. Viktor had never been informed of this, but he’d go along with it anyway.

Using the zeta tubes without informing anyone but Red Tornado of his activities, Viktor traveled to his hometown of Gotham City. He was dressed in a black Gotham City Knights t-shirt with tan cargo shorts and sneakers. He didn’t expect to get into anything too hectic as he was meeting his mentor at a coffee shop of all places. Then again, it was still Gotham City. Once inside the place, it was hard for him to miss the redhead sitting in one of the back corners of the shop where she can keep an eye on the throughways while being away from any windows. She already had a mug in hand while she read a newspaper that seemed to have all of her attention.

“Kate,” Viktor said as he took a seat across from her. She looked up at him and gave an unenthused smirk as she remembered how devoid of warmth Viktor was.

“Still the same ol’ Viktor I see… or are you? I heard a few things about you from some of my colleagues.” Kate took a sip of her coffee as the barista approached the table.

“Like what?” He raised an eyebrow but was sure there were many instances of note she could have caught wind of. He glanced at the barista who was just about to speak and beat him to it. “Black tea in that size cup. No sugar… please.”

“Oh ok. I’ll have that right out for you.” The barista was slightly thrown off by Viktor’s directness, but it also made his order easy. As he walked away, Kate took the chance to continue the conversation.

“Where to start? I heard about you being a complete ass to one of your teammates after a failed mission, the car accident after you were partying with some girl, and then Malletman.” She let out a light chuckle as the last two things were a bit hard to believe.

“Rainman,” He corrected, but sighed at how stupid the name was. “I guess you want an explanation from me about those.”

“As well as other things, but sure, start there.”

He nodded as his tea was set in front of him

“Here you are,” The barista set Viktor's tea down in front of him.

“Thanks." He carefully slid the tea to his right before going into his explanation. “I believe we had failed our… event because Daphne was inexperienced with her own abilities. I don't think she is a good fit and I shared my thoughts after the event. Then one of your more vocal colleagues instructed me to make an attempt at being kinder and keep my criticisms to myself for some time to see how things progress.”

“And how has it gone so far.”

“I don't enjoy it, but my colleagues seem to. They interact with me more often and seem to like more of the things I say to them…” He shrugged and continued. “Let's move on to the jeep. A and I… Actually, I decided-”

“Wait, the person's name is ‘A’?”

“No, it is my nickname for her. She told me I could use it when we first met..”

“That's weird Viktor. Just call her whatever her name is. If it's not long, no need to shorten it.”

“Three syllables.”

“Seriously? Just say the name.”

“Fine. I decided to have Alisa accompany me to experience the nightlife I had observed on television. It seemed like an experience that was worth trying and I chose her to accompany me.”

“Wait. Just her?”

“Yes. I assumed everyone was asleep.”

“And what did you two end up doing before you wrecked the vehicle?”

“We failed to enter a bar, so we bowled, danced, and played some games.”

“You? You danced and played games? You must really like this girl.” Viktor didn't even flinch.

“Yes, I really like A… Alisa. She's my best friend and a good member of our group.”

“I meant… Nevermind. I'm honestly surprised you're getting along with everyone as well as you are. There are some things you can still work on but so far so good. I kind of thought you'd get kicked off the team for being too… like yourself. To think that next time I do one of these things with you again, you might have a girlfriend or boyfriend.”

“Well, I've had two girlfriends already.”

“What?!” Kate's eyes widened all while Viktor held a smug look on his face before he finally sipped his tea.

Is she catching an attitude with me? That’s… actually kinda cute. Astra smiled to herself with amusement before Myra started to demonstrate her abilities for her and Vrexen. The red-faced demon stood idly with the door at his back as if he was blocking their exit. First up in Myra’s repertoire was the camouflage which was familiar to both observers. Myra’s invisibility was not like that of the Light Elves as it did not require the use of mana. It was as natural as a chameleon changing the pigment of its skin. Astra couldn’t tell the difference, but Vrexen clearly could with his third eye that could not detect any use of magic from her..

Next up was her speed and agility, something that Astra was not entirely ready for. The damage done to the floor by Myra’s sharp turn caused the Dark Elven woman to jump some as she almost thought the small long-tailed demon would run into a piece of furniture while performing her dash. Myra then showcased her claws and two rows of sharp teeth.

“To be unseen, swift, and lethal. My young sister has a great potential for violence.” Vrexen commented to Astra who had been staring at the inside of Myra’s mouth for a bit too long.

“Violence, yeah. She’d make some serious amas as a bounty hunter or an assassin. The second one for sure” Astra plopped down off of the dresser so she could pat Myra softly on the head for doing a good job in displaying her talents. “Good stuff Myra! I was so wrong to think you’d be better for sex work.” Astra thought out loud.

“What?”

“Because I was VERY unaware of her potential for violence, Lord Vrexen. I was so foolish to believe Myra could offer so little to our mission…” She said quickly to recover herself since Vrexen was glaring at her. There was an eerie silence between the two that made Astra extremely uncomfortable. “Your turn, right?” Vrexen narrowed his eyes and bared his teeth at her. He held up his hand, showing off his claws.

“Claws... teeth…” His body began to grow, but stopped just as his clothes became tight around his body before he shrunk back down to his normal size. “This room and these clothes restrict me.” He went on to point to his third eye. “This eye allows me to detect mana and magic... I use it to hunt those that believe they can hide from me and to also determine the strength of my prey. And lastly… I cannot die.” Vrexen said before taking a seat on the floor.

“Can’t die?”

“YES!” Astras froze as she was yelled at.

“Sorry.” Astra sounded sincere. She was not a fan of feeling like he would kill her if she said the wrong thing. The only thing she was somewhat glad about was that she now knew what the two could do. Under different circumstances, she could use them to make amas out of the Bounty Hunter Guild in Myriamor. Sure, she couldn’t show her mug at that place, but these two could. It was just too bad Vrexen was more interested in influencing what some were calling the Second Great War. His first objective was to find more of his kind in the River Fairy Kingdom. Vrexen did not know what Astra had in mind, but he was not going to worry about it either. If she crossed him, he would enjoy ripping the limbs from her body.

“Well, as for me, I know a lot about Avalia. People, places, and other shit that can be pretty important. I can’t turn invisible like Myra can, but I know how to sneak around and get into things people don’t want me getting into. So I guess I’m the brains of this trio. My magic isn’t impressive-”

“I see that. It would benefit us if you changed that which is unimpressive. Improve, Astra. Cunning is a good trait, yes... but I have killed many more cunning than I. Do not let it be your only talent while in my service.”

Slick had caught the bartender’s glare, but he didn’t think much of it since he didn’t think it would escalate past some tense eye contact. Slick only hoped his drink wouldn’t get spiked like it had been at the Nest by Floofa. Damn fuzz-tailed beast of a harlot… She’ll get what’s coming to her. Slick briefly scowled at the thought of the woman. He might have stewed in his sour thoughts, but Kuroi’s voice stole him from the negativity.

"So uh...tell me how it is back where...you come from..."

Slick looked at Kuroi as if he was going to say something, but then looked down at the bar counter. He initially thought it would be an easy question to answer, but then he realized he’d have to know where to begin. This world was so different from his own. He felt he could go on for hours or maybe even days discussing the very topic.

“Where to start…” He scratched his chin some before spotting the bartender coming over the two tankards. “Maybe a pick-me-up will help me some.” The bartender set them down in front of Slick before immediately going back to get Kuroi’s drink. Without hesitation, Slick grabbed one of the tankards and gulped down a swig of beer from it. “Mmm… Now onto yer question.” The beer tasted so much better than what he was used to. It was so much richer in flavor.

“It’s simpler. Easiest way to explain it. There’s just one kind of people… I mean you got yer white folk, natives, Mexicans, and negroes like me of course, but as different as we were, we kinda all looked the same compared to what you got here. No extra features, y’know?“ He paused for a second to get a hold of where he was going with his explanation. “If the lady of our group is right about meeting more people like myself, then you’ll see just how simple our differences are.” Slick took another swig before continuing. “We got boats, but… none that can fly like that amoray. And I can also say that I’ve observed a lack of firepower carried by the folk around here. No guns, here? If you even know what a gun is.” Slick took a short sip while staring Kuroi down, awaiting his answer. Please don't let me down Avalia. There's gotta be somethin'.

Hm? Bowyn’s displeasure with Arn was really surfacing now, and Kaleb had wondered if it was his doing. Had he swayed his opinion some? It was not unbelievable especially since Bowyn claimed to have only met Arn today. It was rather convenient that the loose-end to his lies might be easily cut. All Kaleb would have to do is rub shoulders with Bowyn better than Arn had, and so far the bar for that seemed to be quite low. He couldn’t help but smirk at Bowyn’s insult towards Arn. The poor dwarf was just collateral… the price of being an extra.

“Sure, Arn is not the type of guy you place your faith in, but I got the details from a very loyal lady friend of mine. If not for her, I’d just be looking for a party tonight.” Despite his jesting, Kaleb kept on a serious expression to let Bowyn know he was certain Annya could be found in River Port. “We find your friend and Arn first, and then we can put our heads together to find Annya.” Kaleb shrugged once again before his attention was captured by Rue’s very sudden arrival several meters away. His eyes were rather wide, somewhat taken aback by the remarkable entrance. The wolf walking beside her on her approach only confirmed her identity. How many folk were walking their wolf around town? “Well, that was easy. She found us.” He said before she had actually made it to him and Bowyn. This being the first time seeing her up close, Kaleb kept his eyes on her. He was looking at the fairy with more wonder than attraction. Kaleb found Rue to be a graceful image he’d find on the book cover of a children’s fairytale.

As Rue greeted cheerfully, Kaleb was already type-casting her in his head. She seems friendly… When she quickly averted her gaze from him, he briefly looked at Bowyn. They were the ones acquainted after all, so it was best to allow them to talk. That tension though. Kaleb couldn't help but think something had happened he was completely unaware of. This was not good, but the drama could be so rich for what would be a grand adventure. He wondered why her eyes were red and sad-looking despite her smile. Kaleb thought she would address Bowyn first, but she spoke to him instead, all without meeting his gaze. ...but kinda timid unlike Bowyn.

“Of course not, pets love me. Plus, you seem quite friendly, so why wouldn’t your good friend be too?” Kaleb smiled. “Name’s Kaleb by the way. Pleasure to meet you, but… where’s…” He purposely tried to peer around her before looking at their surroundings with a confused expression. “...where’s Arn? I was told the rascal would be with you.”

“Wolf?” Kaleb raised an eyebrow. That's just- Right. High fantasy setting, so of course there are domesticated wolves just strolling around town. He gently scratched the back of his head as if he was realizing a mistake. “Thinking about it now, it was probably a wolf, yeah.” Kaleb hadn't found that mistake to be too much of a big deal. He didn’t really think it would ruin the rapport he was trying to build with the Winter Fae.

Unfortunately, the next thing to come out of Bowyn's mouth caused Kaleb to wince.

“I think we should head over to where you saw them, Arn and Rue, and the wolf. Then we can all go and search every tavern and hot spot in town for the princess. And, added bonus, Arn’s been offering to throw amas around all day.”

“...over to where you saw them, Arn and Rue, and the wolf...”


“...Arn and Rue, and the wolf...”


“...Arn...”


Arn… the fucking dwarf. Fuck.

Kaleb was silent for a moment before he started to just nod agreeably.. “Sounds like a fine plan, yeah… And then we can follow where I saw them heading. Yup, perfect plan.” He lost a lot of the confidence in his voice, almost sounding shaky. However, Kaleb had to press on. He had to sell this! “And I can’t believe that was actually Arn I saw. I mean then again, dwarves don’t differentiate much when it comes to looks. Short, stocky, long beards. The works.” Kaleb shrugged with a smirk. It was time to really get into character. “And he didn’t even say anything, but I can’t blame him. He was salivating more than the wolf when he was looking up at Rue. That or he just doesn’t remember dear ol’ Kaleb. I’m quite forgettable.” He shared hoping he had remedied his mistake and he also wanted to give Bowyn something else to think about too. Everything was fitting together quite smoothly in Kaleb’s opinion, and now he had an understanding of the people he had not even met yet.

Arn = The Dwarf = Amas Dispensary

Exotic Husky = Wolf

Bowyn = Fairy - Wings

Bowyn + Arn + Rue + Wolf = The Big Lead = Potential Royal Love Interest = Princess Annya

On the right track… Wait. Where the hell is Eris?!


Kaleb led Bowyn to where he thought he remembered seeing Arn. It was right outside of the Inn by the Sea. He squinted down at the spot momentarily and then looked toward the direction where he remembered seeing Rue hovering overhead. He pointed down at where he remembered passing the dwarf.

“Arn was here. Ogling Rue.” He then pointed up and in the direction of the market square.“Rue was up there. She looked like she was searching for something down below. Maybe looking for Annya.” He shrugged.
