Chapter 12

It would be later as they were going down the STG vehicle elevator. Isaac was on his phone talking with another hunter, while Iris looked concerned.

"You think they'll look after them?" Iris asked.

"Don't worry. Isaac's got this. They'll take the giant wolves to a local Hunters reserve." Said Garry.

"I hope so." Iris replied.

"And done. They're being taken to a reserve. And straight back to Jotunheim." Said Isaac.

"Thanks, Isaac." Said Iris.

"No problem." Said Isaac.

The elevator then stopped as the whole gang was there, even Felicity as she and Violet were sparring. Felicity was throwing rapid weak punches at Violet as she was a yard away from her.

"Uh, th-that's great." Violet responded.

Franklin was working on a modification for Berta in the shop, while Marcus was practicing on a punching bag. Scarlet and Jasper were together as Jasper was assisting Scarlet with her potions making as he handed her ingredients, while applied them into her black kettle. Isaac pushed his motorcycle to Franklin's shop, while Garry ran over to jumped on a nearby couch as Iris grabbed some bottles of water for them both.

"Hey, Isaac. How was the job?" Franklin asked.

"It went well thanks to Iris." Said Isaac.

"Good to hear. Oh, I also made a little modification to Berta's weapon's compartment. I'm finishing installing it right now. And it's going to be a big help." Said Franklin.

"Is it what I think it is?" Isaac asked.

"You bet." Said Franklin.

Isaac then turn and saw Felicity learning how to punch with Violet. She was showing her how to stand and how to throw a punch as Felicity copied what she did.

"Can you feel the difference?" Violet asked.

"Yeah. You really know a lot about fighting, huh?" Felicity asked.

"Well, yeah." Said Violet, while bashful.

They then hear Marcus punching a punching bag as his punches were loud.

"But if you really want to know how to fight. Marcus is the best to ask. Since he practices this more than me. And I'm in my ninety. Plus, he was the one who helped me get better at fighting." Said Violet.

"How?" Felicity asked.

"Well, back then I mostly relied on my vampire abilities. So, my technique was awful or how he put it…sucked. Pun intended." Said Violet.

"Oh." Said Felicity.

"He helped me get better and would train a lot together. It's all about progress. You should've seen Marcus. He used to be little and scrawny. But now…he's lean, muscular and not bad too look at." Said Violet as she stared at him a bag of blood.

"Uh…" Felicity responded.

"What…?" Said Marcus as he noticed Violet and stopped.

"Nothing, nothing. You keep…hitting that bag." Said Violet, while biting her finger.

"Stop staring at me." Said Marcus.

"But thanks for teaching me." Said Felicity.

"Hmm? Yeah, yeah, sure." Said Violet as she snapped out of her daze.

"But how did all end up as a group? How did you guys meet?" Felicity asked.

"Hey, Gare!" Violet shouted.

"Yeah?" Garry replied.

"Get the book!" Violet responded.

"On it!" Garry replied.

"Book?" Felicity asked.

"Violet, likes taking pictures and scrapbooks them. Hey, Felicity." Said Isaac.

"Hi, Isaac. How was the mission?" Felicity asked.

"Well, thank you for asking." Said Isaac.

"Uh, which volume?" Garry asked as he was by a book shelve that had books numbered on the spine of the books.

"Get #1!" Said Violet.

Garry then grabbed it and dashed over as he placed it on the table in lounging area of the lair. The first page had Isaac, Marcus and Jasper as they were fourteen years old, while Violet looked the same in casual clothes.

"Ah, memories. I was young." Said Violet as everyone else joined in.

"Uh-huh." Said Isaac.

"Aw, look at you guys. So cute." Said Scarlet.

"When this team was form, it was just us four. We didn't get along at all in the beginning." Said Isaac.

"Just thinking back. We were such little kids." Said Marcus.

"If you ask me, you all still act like kids." Said Isaac.

"Nuh-uh!" Marcus responded.

"But why was that?" Felicity asked.

"We were going through some things ourselves. Personal things. For me, I was just learning to control my powers. I gain not too long in this picture." Said Jasper.

"Yeah, things got really poltergeist-y whenever he had his panic attacks." Said Violet.

"But things got better. We got along and learn how to act like a team. And thank god for that." Said Isaac as he turned the page.

"Then I came in not too long after. Ha! I still have that t-shirt." Said Garry as it was shirt that said, TRUE GAMER.

"More like nerd~! OH!" Said Violet.

"Yeah, yeah, keep talking. I'm proud of what I am." Said Garry.

"Don't forget how nervous he is around girls." Said Franklin.

"Oh, yeah. It was so adorable." Said Scarlet.

They had pictures of Garry nervous and avoided talking to girls and teachers, especially to pretty girls. Everyone laughed as Garry was embarrassed.

"Whatever! I've grown out of it! A little." Said Garry.

"You should see him when Ana tries talking to him." Scarlet whispered to Felicity.

"I heard that!" Garry shouted.

"But then I arrived." Said Scarlet.

It showed pictures of Scarlet as she was three years younger. She looked nervous and anxious as everyone was getting to know her. And there was even a picture of Garry shy and nervously talking to her as she was nervous.

"Talk about two peas of the same pod." Said Garry.

"Yeah, back then I was nervous. Not shy, just nervous. I had trouble fitting in back home. So, I really wanted to give a good impression on everyone." Said Scarlet.

"And she did. Since she was the only one who could work the computers." Said Isaac.

"Those were some caveman days." Said Violet.

"Remember how excited we were when she knew how to work the lights." Said Marcus.

"Oh, yeah!" Said Garry as they turned the page.

"Next up is me. And I was still pretty big guy." Said Franklin.

In the pictures he towered over everyone in one of the pictures, while he worked on Berta in baby years as he was hugging her.

"Weird things is that he's still growing." Said Jasper.

"It's in the genes, I guess." Said Franklin.

"I wish I can still grow more." Said Garry.

"Calm, down there, shorty." Said Marcus.

"Franklin was a great addition as well. Since he actually knew how to drive a car and fix things." Said Isaac.

"Where would you guys be without me?" Said Franklin.

"And last and but not least…" Said Scarlet.

"Me." Said Iris as she turned the page.

It showed Iris a about a year younger as she had the same monotone look on her face as they had pictures of her saying hello and not doing much as she sat around.

"Yeah, you were boring. Yet so beautiful. So mesmerizing." Said Violet.

"Sorry." Said Iris.

"But she's a great help around. Unless some others." Said Isaac.

"I don't know what you mean." Said Garry.

"Yeah! She made us our combat uniforms whenever we go out on missions." Said Violet.

"Wow, that's amazing! Could you show me how to knit?" Felicity asked.

"Sure." Iris replied.

"Oh! Not to make this short. But I have to go to the market to get some things. And it should be closing really soon." Said Scarlet.

"Oh, okay. Take someone with you." Said Isaac.

"Iris?" Said Scarlet.

"Pictures. And tired." Iris replied with a picture book in her hands.

"Oh, okay. You did go on that mission." Said Scarlet.

"I'll go. If you don't mind me coming with." Said Jasper.

"Okay, I don't mind. Let's go." Said Scarlet.

"We'll be back." Said Jasper.

"Don't take too long!" Said Isaac.

"Bring some junk food!" Garry shouted.

"No." Said Jasper.

"Well, it's been a while since me and you have done something, together, huh?" Said Scarlet.

"Y-Yeah. How have you been?" Jasper asked.

"Why did you ask me that like we haven't seen each other in a long time?" Scarlet asked.

"I was trying to make conversation." Said Jasper.

"(giggles) I'm doing well. You?" Scarlet asked.

"I'm doing well too." Said Jasper.

He looked to his side as he was blushing, while Scarlet giggled at his response. And as Jasper and Scarlet left, it was moments later as we see the young lady up on the roofs of a market area. She had taken off her hood as she had pale skin, gray hair, milky green eyes, jagged teeth, while biting her fingers as they all looked chips and sharp.

"Where are you little ghost? Where are you? Don't think I didn't forget what you did? I swear, I'm going to rip him into shreds, right, Andres? Don't worry, my love~." Said Tiffany with evil smile on her face.

But she suddenly, felt a presence nearby as she quickly looked and saw Jasper and Scarlet heading over to the market as she grinned ear to ear.

"There you are…Jasper…" Said Tiffany.
