start of the fight.

On the morning of March 1, 2018, Luna and Raven emerged from the airport. "We'll go to the location, stroll around, and try to find something suspicious or wait for them to make a move," Luna suggested.

Raven nodded, and they began walking.

Their mission wasn't easy. The individuals they were tracking possessed not only superhuman abilities but also firearms.

Upon arriving at the Hotel Spadari ai Duomo, they each took a room and changed into attire more suitable for combat. Raven chose black pants and a purple sweater, while Luna donned a gray tracksuit.

"I have a truth radar ability. Your mission is to kidnap one of the members, and we'll interrogate them. Be careful and don't create a commotion," she ordered.

Raven nodded, "Okay, give me some time," he requested. It was his first mission, and even though he now possessed extraordinary powers, it was a new experience.

He walked out and approached a bald man in a suit.

["Please, I'm lost. Do you know where I can find the metro?"] he asked in Italian, effortlessly using his ability, learning languages is easy.

["Go left and follow the directions,"] the man replied indifferently.

["I can't read, sorry,"] Raven replied.

["Do you think I care? Go annoy someone else."]

["Why are you so rude? You Italians are so rude,"] Raven muttered, spitting on the ground next to him.

The man was shocked, his anger rising. ["What the hell did you just do?"] He moved to grab Raven, but Raven quickly ran. The man pursued him and cornered Raven in an alley.

["Help! Help! He wants to kill me!"] Raven yelled in feigned fear.

[Hahaha, now you know how to beg, you son of a..."] Before he could finish his sentence, he was knocked out by Luna.

Raven's teary and terrified expression immediately transformed into one of indifference as he stood up and dusted off his clothes.

Luna looked at him in disbelief; she had genuinely believed he was scared. "It was either this way or I seduce him," he explained succinctly.

Luna nodded absentmindedly, and they carried the unconscious man deeper into the alley to begin their interrogation.

Luna slapped the guy awake. "Where is your headquarters?" She asked immediately.

He was still confused, but upon understanding the situation, he snapped. "Do you know who you are missing?"We will kill your entire family." He started screaming in broken English.

Luna waited for him to finish. "Where is your headquarters?" She asked again.

He saw that the two kids weren't intimidated by any means, and he started to second-guess his choices.

"I won't tell you, bitch," he declared.

Luna asked, "Is it worth it to die for it? It's not like you are the only person we can capture; I will kill you here and go look for someone else," she said, her gun in his head.

He smiled, "I can see it; you never killed a soul; you are just a barking dog," he mocked.

Luna was shocked; how did he know?

"I have an ability as well; I can see the true selves of people. It's a useless ability, but it helps me know if I can miss with someone or not. If I activated my ability when I was chasing that basterd, he wouldn't have fooled me," he explained.

Raven stood up and walked towards him. "Do you think I won't kill you?" Raven asked in a cold, chilling voice.

The guy trembled, "You... you killed before, you... I will talk, I will talk."

Raven stood aside and let Luna finish; she was shocked, not knowing what to do.

"Where is your headquarters?" She asked. 

"In Arese, there is a place there." He described everything; he even showed it on maps.

While Luna ate the guy, Raven stood there, shocked. He just copied the guy's ability; he now can also see auras of people; he can see red and white; judging from what the guy said, white means the person is pure and never killed, and red means they sinned.

But he said he could know the power of people. Is it because of how big the aura is?

Luna's aura is big but not terrifying; does that mean she can't kill me?

"What do you think we need to do with this guy?" She asked. Breaking Raven from his thoughts.

"The academy probably sent someone to obsorb me or us; leave it to them," he said.

200 meters away, a woman was shoked, "How did he know?" She couldn't believe it.

---

"Thank you for helping me earlier," Luna whispered.

Raven was shoked, this annoying girl apologized? He didn't know what to say, but he is not a petty man. "No problem; if he didn't have that ability, you would have handled it perfectly," he said. And kept walking.

Luna smiled. "He is not petty, at least," she thought, and she walked after him.

"Are we going today or tomorrow?" Raven asked. 

"No, we will go tomorrow; I have to survey the area to see if there are any potential treats." She explained. 

Raven nodded. "Alright, I will go rest." He went to his room.

----

Luna did just that; she watched the place all night, and in the morning she came back and slept.

In the evening, both she and Raven were 200 meters away from the headquarters.

"There are 23 people there, 2 with abilities, most probably the leaders, and the rest are just normal people. I will take on the two and take care of the rest." She ordered. 

Raven wanted to fight the two leaders to see if he could copy their abilities as well, but he didn't want to argue.

"Alright, I will go create a ruckus; you deal with the big guys," he said, standing up.

"Don't do anything stupid; you can die if a bullet hits you," she advised.

He nodded and walked out of their hidden place. He walked like a normal guy, stood in front of the door, and knocked.

Two men came out. [Who are you?]

[I'm Batman,] he answered in a solemn voice and attacked immediately; he didn't give them time to understand the joke.
