"Oh come on"- James lifted his hands but in the blink of an eye he had taken Nova as hostage.
*How? Did he teleport? Or was he simply that fast?!* Nova thought to herself, trying to analyze what had just happened.
"Now, let's not get crazy, shall we? I needed that creature's immortality"
Nerae looked in disbelief, were they really not out of trouble yet?!
"Let her go for fuck's sake!"- Nerae copied James powers and was completely puzzled by it
"W-what is this?!"-Things moved but stayed in their place, the effect nearly Made her vomit
"Oh You can copy, is this your first time being out of Sync? Looks like You can only do a second or two. Pretty useless"
James looked at Rosenda, she was not gonna kill Nova over something trivial, was she?
"Look, I hunt vampires, that Garnet monster, she has a Lot more power than You think, if You let her grow, she Will become one of the strongest daywalkers of the Century. letting her have Camazotz was absolutely nuts"
The bike returned, but Garnet was nowhere to be seen.
"What did I tell You?" James said still not letting go of Nova, his gun threatening to blow her brains out

Rosenda grit her teeth. “She’s not the one who just made it attack a hotel.” She had her gun pointed towards his voice. It was an easy shot. Or would be on a human with no powers. With a man who could move like he did, it was just as likely to hit Nova. Her gun pointed to the asphalt. “Leave. If I ever see you again or hear something happened to the kid, I’ll blow your brains out.” She put a hand out to steady the motorcycle when it rolled up to her. She felt very old and very tired feeling the empty seat. “I don’t care what you told me, get out of earshot before I shoot something no fancy flashstep is gonna get you out of.” Rosenda pulled from her bike the weapon she had threatened to demolish the hotel with earlier.

"Neither. was. I."- James clarified when Rosenda mentioned the hotel. once the bounty hunter reached for her big gun, he smiled a bit.
"Aight, sure. not that you can fire that thing here unless you want to kill us all"- he kicked Nova towards Rosenda and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Nerae finally managed to cancel her power, copying James had only left her dizzy and confused. Nova while not dizzy, was just as confused. his movements totally broke math.
"We are going to file a report on that guy, he definitely needs to be brought in for questioning"
"Having said that, looks like Garnet is not coming back"- Nerae added
An awkward silence was made. Nova sighed and called for transport.
"Come with us Rosenda, we are gonna get your payment, Nerae and I will deal with paperwork later...But first things first: coffee."
Rosenda and the agents were escorted out of the hotel by two chargers from the feds. After a couple minutes Nova signaled them to stop at the closest breakfast place she saw and let the officers go.
"Man, I feel like shit, we didn't even get to sleep"- Nerae said as she tried to comb her hair with her fingers.
"I concur, this is probably our last job for the month tho, how about we tell Rosenda to-"
Nova was interrupted by a small bump on the restaurant's window. Garnet was pressing herself against it while making funny faces, once she stopped she waved at Rosenda and the girls. Nerae immediately ran inside while nova just smiled and walked her way into the restaurant
"did ya girls miss me? I know you did! surely you didn't think I would go back there with that vampire hunter around, right? anyway, thanks for the ride Ros, breakfast is on me."- Garnet said as she sat down and drank a glass of orange juice that was halfway finished.
"And how in the world did you know we would come here?"- Nerae asked as she sat down next to Garnet and rustled her hair.
"Don't be creeped out, it's blood magic. you gave me your blood back in the temple remember? I can use it for divination, knew at least you would be here. Glad Ros and Nova are here too! been ordering orange juice for the last hour and the waitress is starting to look at me funny."

“Fuck.” Rosenda strapped the gun back onto her motorcycle, binding it tight. “Yeah, payment.” She couldn’t say no. Half her ammo was expended, and that wasn’t cheap to replace. “Coffee sounds good too. I can’t stay up as late as I used to.”
A few hours later, it was definitely too late to be awake. Her face drooped as she drug herself to the restaurant. When she saw Garnet, however, life returned to her body. She ran inside, scooping Garnet out of the booth with a crushing hug. “Kid! I was worried about you!” She squeezed her for a long time before finally letting her back into the booth. “I’m feeling pancakes! I shouldn’t, but hey, not every day you kill a god!” In an hour, she’d crash, but that was fine. She hadn’t felt so good in a long time. “Hey kid. If you need somewhere to crash, I have a place outside Tijuana. I keep it stocked. No internet, but hey, I never liked that to begin with. Kid like you shouldn’t be alone.”

"For real?!"- Garnet hugged Rosenda by the arm as strong as a 12 year old child could. She had absolutely nowhere to go, and Rosenda was one of the few people left in the whole world that she could trust.
"Well, that solves a lot of problems for us, We'll skip her in the report, a child Vampire in the hands of the government is not the best idea"- Nerae said as she looked ecstatic at the cup of coffee she had been served.
"We leave Garnet in your care Rosenda, taking care of a child is a big responsibility, please have that in mind at all times"- Nova added with a gentle smile.
"I won't be a bother Nova, I'm obviously taking care of everything at home while Ros is out, I may be many things, but a slacker is not one of them!"
Breakfast had been especially good for Garnet that day, it was be something she would dearly remember.
