Sudden Gust of Wind

"Yo, I'm back~" That blond dude in a jacket strolls into the hotel room, rocking a cross necklace around his neck.

"Man, your lazy vibe's gonna get you in trouble sooner or later," a silver-haired chick stretches lazily as she talks. Her bangs are adorned with a cute flower clip.

"Cut to the chase, dude. How many folks are guarding 10032? Can't figure out if they're here to snatch her or save her." The dude plops down across from the chick, chillin'. "Except for that 'HERO' guy."

"Seriously? That's a bummer."

"So, should we switch to the next target?"

"...Alright, let's bounce." The chick puts her index finger to her lips, her smile kinda creepy but kinda gorgeous after a while.

"Morning, my friend!" A gray-haired girl grooves to the broadcast coming from the billboard, humming a tune. Her bare arms show off some sleek muscles.

"Hey, Gray!" Her buddy waves by the roadside at the traffic light.

"Annie! Tone it down, will ya?" Gray's friend's lively spirit catches her off guard.

"Oh, come on, still so shy?"

"I said, lower your voice!"

"Oh, getting all blushy!"

"Keep it down!"

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

"...What are you doing here?"

"I got a date with my boyfriend, duh."

"Oh~"

"You still single, huh?"

Gray shakes her head.

"Hey, how can you be this introverted? You gotta talk to guys, summon some courage! Otherwise, I'm gonna keep making fun of you! Trust me..."

"Shush!" Gray anxiously covers her friend's mouth; people are totally staring.

"Ah well, I'll introduce you to a boyfriend next time."

"Nah, no need." Gray keeps shaking her head, her face redder than a tomato.

"Later, then." As her friend gets ready to cross the street, she suddenly shouts, "Hey, fellas, there's a cute single girl right here! Any guys want a..."

"Could you PLEASE lower your voice?" Gray's about to burst into tears.

"HAHAHA, catch you later!"

"I'm seriously begging you! Quiet down!"

...

Head hanging, Gray walks away from the crowd, not wanting to show off her tomato-red face like the evening sun.

And because of that, she fails to notice someone tailing her.

Huh...

It's the wind, Gray rubs her arms, getting colder by the second. She really should've worn a jacket; it might not be snowing, but winter's no joke.

HU!

Suddenly, a gust of wind rushes past her, and she turns to see the girl who was tailing her seemingly propelled backward by something, doing a perfect backflip, landing gracefully. Her hat falls, revealing her face and her silver hair.

...!

She... she's...

"Lily Potter, why don't you rich kids just go shopping, buy fancy stuff, dine at posh restaurants? Why mess with other people's business?" The silver-haired girl stands up, addressing someone in the distance.

Gray turns to see a girl in the distance, wearing a purple sweater that clashes with her excited smile, but radiates wealth.

"I don't get your deal, but 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,' so it's better to knock you out now." Lily tilts her head, the wind lifting her up, giving her a suave look.

"HEHE? You think you can take me on?" The silver-haired girl's arm morphs into liquid and extends to the ground before stopping.

"Guess we'll find out if I can or can't, won't we? Results speak louder."

"Alright then, let me ask, who's the invisible person next to this girl?" The silver-haired girl points at Gray, making her nervously look around.

Invisible person? Where?

Suddenly, something tugs at her wrist, pulling her toward an alley. The silver-haired girl extends her liquid-like hand, acting like she's throwing a rope, but Lily cuts it with the wind as soon as she raises her hand.

"Don't forget, who's your enemy?"

"Hah, totally slipped my mind."

They exchange smiles, like they're foreshadowing their own victory.

"Whoa! Who are you?" Gray, after being pulled into an alley, is released by the invisible person.

"It's me." Turns out it's Gordon, using his iron sand manipulation to turn invisible.

"Who are you? Why'd you kidnap me?" Gray backs against the wall.

"I'll explain later. Honestly, it's getting messier the more I try now... Whoa!" Gordon suddenly yells toward the ceiling.

"...I got lost." This blond dude talks all nonchalant, and it's really irritating.

"Lost? And you thought climbing onto the roof would help?" Gordon's like, seriously dude, no sense of humor.

"Ugh, you're so not funny."

"Cut the crap, why'd you grab her?"

"Classified. Can't spill the beans."

"Then spill those classified beans, man." Gordon starts generating iron sand, his expression getting serious.

"I said it's classified! You gone deaf?" The blond dude raises his index finger.

He points it at himself, then flicks it like he's shooting something. Gordon forms an iron sand shield in front of Gray.

But whatever that blond dude shot from his finger is crazy powerful; it hits the shield and scatters the iron sand everywhere.

Gordon steps back, his shield could totally block a medium-sized machine gun bullet, so what the heck was that?

... Bomb. He remembers experimenting in school, covering a bomb with iron sand, and although it reduced the impact, a bunch of iron sand got obliterated.

So what could act as an invisible bomb... Wind? Air?

Anyway, he puts some invisible thing, mimicking a phone, on his index finger and flicks it.

Man, that was way too "easy"!

The blond dude seems to be collecting more of that invisible stuff, this is his chance!

Gordon quickly generates iron sand and mimics the blond dude, pointing his finger at him. The iron sand follows the finger and heads straight for the blond dude.

He dodges it, then flicks his finger again, making an even louder sound, like he's shooting a stronger "bomb."

"GA!" Gordon spits blood, his feet scrabbling for traction, trying to stop himself. But he crashes into a taxi window, coughing up blood again, and drops to one knee.

He slowly raises his head and sees the blond dude trying to grab Gray's hand and take her away. His expression seems like he's giving Gordon a chance to explain, but Gray's not having it.

Gordon's gaze sharpens; he raises his hand, and iron sand appears around him. He has tons of iron sand fly toward the blond dude. He manages to dodge, barely, and starts gathering invisible stuff again, using machine gun speed to deflect the iron sand.

PA!

Gordon uses all his strength and punches the blond dude in the face. The dude collapses, and Gordon, drained, leans against the wall to catch his breath.

He really wants to finish this dude off to prevent future trouble, but he's afraid his sister will chew him out for going overboard.

"Help me up, then let's find a restaurant. I'll explain everything." Gordon extends a hand, and Gray hesitates a moment before taking it.
