It hadn't taken him long to find her but, full disclosure, when you could flash into a bar and know within seconds if your quarry was there. Within ten minutes he was positioned on the second floor of a crowded club. It also didn't hurt that he could mask himself away from human eyes. It wasn't invisibility, it was more that human eyes would see him and not register his presence. Even under hypnosis, they'd remember nothing more than a blank spot where he'd been.

Handy for getting a feel for the room, but not a part of the game he wanted to play. If the others around them could only see her and not him? Not nearly as much for any paybacks she wanted to throw at him.

And fuck if he didn't want her to play as dirty as he did.

Grinning at the idea of it, and feeling lighter than he had in centuries, Nick left her perch and made his way through the club. He dropped the illusion as he went down the stairs and positioned himself directly across the dance floor from Val.

The floor itself was, thankfully, recessed. Made for easier eye contact over the mass of bodies writhing to the music pumping from the speakers.

It didn't take long for the danger junkies to start moving in on him and this time he didn't glare them away. What he did do, though, was wait until the Necro was looking anywhere but him and focus on her mind. Fang. Nipple. Remember it now.

Once the last of the Saturday breakfast crowd had thinned, Maggie settled into her favorite part of the week.

It was the day before the Sunday brunch and after church crowd, not the daily grind of the weekend; it was just a quiet Saturday afternoon. She had her tea, a plate of cookies some of the town's resident's called biscuits, a fire in the grate, and a book. Perfect for a rainy afternoon with nothing much pressing on her time but worries about her best friend.

A best friend who had better show up if he knew what was good for him.

For anyone else that stopped by, she had the usual coffees and teas and fresh things to eat. Today was just her one day to relax between the odd customers that trickled in rather than flit around the coffee shop with busy work.

It had been a week since the ball. A week, and she still hadn't shaken the...whatever had happened that night over mini-golf and dancefloors.

And she couldn't stop thinking about Levi, couldn't stop checking in on him at random times. She knew he hadn't seen her, but she'd seen him nearly every day since. She just wished she knew that it all meant; why she felt like she was changing when she hadn't so much as grown her hair an inch since coming here.

It was a longshot, but she only really had one other friend in the town. Or, at least, the closest thing to it.

That's why she found herself in the shadows of one of the bars she knew the fighter frequented and keeping outside the notice of everyone else there.

Sam was delighted. Bee was here. He woke up that morning, and Bee was there, like he'd just parked there the night before. Sam had spent the first half of the day absolutely freaking out while trying to explain to his best friend what had happened. It had taken a while, including several attempts at driving out of the area, but he had finally been able to get the Autobot to accept what the place was.

The rest of the day they just drove around, chatting and hanging out like any normal best friends, if one of them was a talking car from another planet. It was weird, but Sam wouldn't want it any other way.

He was having such a good time that he almost forgot about meeting Maggie to introduce her to Bee. If it hadn't been for Bee reminding him and literally just driving him to the cafe, Sam would have probably forgotten.

With Bee parked a short ways down the street, out of site for the moment, Sam headed into the cafe just before closing time to wait on Maggie.

The Ball itself hadn't started out as anything so grand as it was now. The first was more like a few drinks raised at the end of a hard-fought battle; the first attendees too exhausted, mentally and physically, to do more than drain a few barrels of whiskey and stumble home.

The year following - the first anniversary of their triumph. Now that one had been a party, or so she'd read in her ancestor's journals. After that, the party had become tradition and had grown as the town did until it became what it was today.

A full formal, catered ball that took up two ballrooms in the biggest hotel in downtown.

The magic that ran the town ran the ball as well, so all Maggie was left to do was supervise, twitch a spell here and there if something went awry, and enjoy watching the residents enjoy themselves.

Maggie plucked a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and sipped at it as she walked (barefoot, of course), proud of the town it was her responsibility to care for, no matter how it had wronged her from the start.

One of the things Levi didn't like about not having a partner was that sometimes it would really be nice to have some backup. His latest ex-partner, the were-yak, hadn't worked out so well, constantly having to stop and eat grass and all the time. Maybe it wasn't so bad, because he had really, really smelled bad.

Right now, he was wandering around some sort of creepy, empty warehouse in the middle of night with no backup, hunting down what likely was a really sick and twisted serial killer. He'd been tracking whoever it was for months now. Dead bodies torn apart almost surgically, literally pulled apart from what looked like human hands. That made it his type of case.

His gun drawn, Levi continued to circle toward the center of the warehouse in a spiral pattern, but really it was like looking for a needle in a really dark and echo-y warehouse. There was a good chance that he was going to end up with his body ripped apart, this wasn't exactly something that being able to read a mind could help with. It was times like this that he wished he'd practiced more with his ability, maybe he'd be able to scan the area or something.

But he couldn't stop because it was scary or dangerous, because if he didn't stop whoever or whatever it was, more people would die, and he couldn't let that happen.

I pocketed my cell phone and stayed in the shadows of the dive, just inside the door as I waited for Valkyrie to come round up the little shit who had something bad on his mind.

Most people didn't drool quite this much when in a bar full of humans. And most humans couldn't survive what I was pretty sure a heartrate over 200.

Maggie looked around the semi-filled cafe as she wiped down the counter and checked the case. Apparently, the onset of spring wasn't only bringing life back to the flora around them, but also a realization that bathing suits aren't far away.

The pastries were full, the fruit and yogurt were utterly depleted, the all-natural granola and oatmeal also showing signs its popularity.

She laughed softly and took out a pastry, setting it on a plate to snack on between the early morning rush and the one filled with students and those that started work a little later. As she snacked, she changed out coffee carafes, pulled supplies and started to refill the case with the healthier breakfast selections.

Humming as she worked, her eyes darted up every now and then to the counter. Just in case someone new dropped in. Again.
