Lance grinned as he high-fived Gabriel. "One of these day's everybody's gonna learn not to take us on." The blonde said as he walked down the street with said brunette and his boyfriend Alistair. The rest of their group, which was composed of Caitlyn, the last of the Three Amigos and her brother Alex, Luka and lastly Gabriel's boyfriend Desmond, had already split ways, along with Des swearing he'll call Gabriel later to make up for leaving after the game so fast, leaving them to do whatever they wanted next.
"Either of you got any ideas of what to do now?

Gabriel laughed, grinning. "It's because the three of us have been playing together for years. Unbalanced teams or not, there was no way we were gonna lose," he said, all the confidence borne of victory filling his voice. "I might go home, though, I've got work in the morning." And Negaverse wok tonight; he had to gather energy and see what else he could find.
Alistair was doing his best to pretend to be grumpy, or the closest approximation e could manage around an extremely cheerful Lance. Goddamnit, his boyfriend was going to murder him with adorable like this. "We could always watch a movie," he proposed, "though I wish you'd join us, Gabriel."

"I'm sorry love." Lance pleaded, as he tugged Ali closer, leaning down to kiss his cheek. "But all's fair in love and war. And that was definitely war." He wrapped an arm around the shorter brunettes shoulders. "You mean the bookstore? How is that going by the way? I've been meaning to ask but I've been a little.... busy." Lance reached over and ruffled his figurative little, older? brother's hair. "If you need to go home it's fine. We understand."

Alistair rolled his eyes, huffing a little. "You could have at least warned me that the three of you were deadly," he said, though there was only so much annoyance he could manage in the face of hugs and cheek-kisses.
Gabriel rcouldn't help but smile a little at the two of them. It was nice to see Lance happy. "Pretty well, actually. It's pretty quiet, so I get plenty of time to myself." He said. "I get to read a lot, and when people are there it's...my people, you know?"

Lance just grinned, tilting his head against Alistair's. "What if I said I had been sworn to secrecy never to talk about it?" He mused. "Is it always quiet or does it get kind of busy around holidays or book releases?" The blonde snorted. Gabriel reading anything was funny to him. It was always such a pain to get him to do his homework when they were younger.

"I'd call bullshit on that," Alistair said, and then he turned to look over at Gabriel. "That's bullshit, isn't it? He's just trying to get out of trouble." It had to be, that was absolutely ridiculous.
"Maybe," Gabriel said, grinning a little. "I wouldn't know, but it's kind of a niche place so you know, unless we get Jesse Ventura to do a book signing or something..." That would be unspeakably cool, if ncredibly unlikely.

"Told you so. Number one rule about the club is you don't talk about the club." Lance said, trying his best not to laugh. "....Jesse Ventura? Ya know what. Story for another time."

"I can't decide if you're both ******** with me or if you're serious," Alistair said. He couldn't help but laugh a little, though. Certainly he and Dami had done silly things like that when they were younger.
"Oh, he wrote this really amazing book on conspiracies and you don't actually care." Gabriel caught himself before he started rambling, a rare enough occasion. He glanced off to one side, and suddenly he felt like his heart had stopped. Prowling an alleyway was..himself? Well, Natron, a strange, greyed-out version, barely visible with the lack of moonlight. It hadn't noticed him, as far as he could tell, so,he was inclined to,pretend it wasn't there for the moment.

"Little bit of both. But seriously. Cait prefers when we don't warn people... Something about the element of surprise." Lance just shrugged and waved his free hand. "I care, I just don't understand it half the time. I don't watch a whole lot of news remember? It's depressing as hell." It was. There was always atleast one report of someone getting hurt or dying or worse. "And if I didn't care do you think I'd have sit there and listen to... you..." The blonde trailed off as he glanced at Gabriel, or rather at something past Gabriel. "....Natron?" He said slowly, eyeing the distant figure before it clicked with him.
Oh hell no.
"We are in so much trouble..."

Alistair turned to follow Lance's gaze, and his eyes narrowed. "Another one of those...things?" He asked, his voice low and his eyes narrowed. He glanced over at Gabriel. Damn it, it probably wouldn't be wise to power up with him here. "It's not after any of us, I don't think..."
Gabriel swallowed. "You've seen them before?" He asked. He crossed his arms and considered. He couldn't really power up with them here. "Look, guys, keep going. It doesn't seem to be after any of us, so if we split up..." He could power up, lure it off, and kill it on his own. Hopefully. Maybe.

Lance tucked Alistair against his side protectively. Alistair was still shaken from their last shade encounter and was flat out against going anywhere himself. Not that Lance could blame him. He too was a bit iffy about venturing off alone. "We uh... Ran into our own pair." Lance mumbled, absently rubbing at the bright red scarf around Alistair's neck. The blonde was iffy about splitting up. These things were tricky as all hell and Lance didn't feel comfortable leaving anyone alone with them. "I'm not so sure Gabriel."

"'Ran into,' he says, these things are bloody homicidal and there's no way we're leaving you alone when it might decide to come after you." Alistair said. There were a few similarities between Gabriel and Natron - he didn't know if the thing was stupid enough to mistake one short, pale redhead for another. He almost automatically called up his henshin pen, gripping it tightly enough that it bit into his hand. If that thing came anywhere near them he was powering up, identity protection aside.
Gabriel narrowed his eyes. "You're both idiots." He growled, eyes flicking over to Alistair. The way he cringed against Lance made Gabriel suspect their run-ins with the things had been awful, and he was not going to put his friends in that situation again.
And then he spotted the flash of red in Alistair's hand and his eyes narrowed further. If that was what he thought it was, he just had to hope the brunette was on the right side.
"I'm going to kill it and you two are going to stay right here." He said, and then there was a flash, and suddenly Gabriel was Captain Natron.

"I'm an idiot? You're the one that wants to go throw himself at it. Do you even kn-" Lance was cut off when his friend suddenly turned into Natron. The blonde blinked. ...That meant... "...After this, you and I are having a conversation about secrets." He growled, fishing out a blue-green and gold object.

Alistair slipped out of Lance's arms. "I suppose that explains why you were determined to keep an eye on us at that convention," he said, spinning his henshin pen between his fingers. "Tantalus power, make-up," he said, and then he stepped forward next to Natron.
Natron glanced to his side, and he let out a sigh of relief. Dark Mirror. Not Negaverse, not ideal - but Chaos, and he had nothing but respect for the Court. "So, you're both Senshi. How new is that?" He asked, shifting his grip on his mace as the thing with his face seemed to notice them and began to bound over.

Lance just snorted. "That's what we'll be talking about later. Damocles power, make up." Damocles stepped on the other side of Natron. "Fairly new.. Little over a month. But again, a conversation we will be having later." He said shooting his 'brother' a look. "For now I believe, our task at hand just noticed us and is heading this way."
