"Archbishop Seven?"

"Finally awake huh."

Taking a sip of her coffee Seven opened the curtains of her office , making Gray close his eyes because of the bright sunlight.

"You know in the whole base this is the only place where sunlight falls , do you know what sunlight falling on you face means?"

Gray shook his head while rubbing his eyes.

"It means that you need to 'get your butt up and do some work' , come on get out of my office."

"Argh Archbishop Seven , what even happened last night?"

Placing a glass filled with some kind of juice she said ,

"Here , drink this."

Walking back to her seat she placed her coffee on the table and continued ,

"You were completely out yesterday , we were talking about Krev when you suddenly started snoring. I left you here and went home , also you were talking about something being small I didn't get it. Anyways now that you're up go and see the new list , new targets are up."

The headache made him hold his head.

"Argh , I wish I had a gift that would make me immune from these hangovers. I drink so much , shouldn't I be immune to these hangovers already?"

The base was silent as always , for some people this silence would've been quite scary. Although it was quite the base was functioning well. The keys of the keyboards were getting pressed , the printer was printing lists , the guards were alert and keeping an eye out. Slowly the door to Seven's office opened.

That was until the peace was broken.

"Archbishop , someone from Humane division contacted us. They sent us some CCTV recording."

"Hah , what is it this time?"

"She's launching herself from the walls around that sinner."

The sinner suffered deadly strikes from Jean while Ryan was able to figure out what was happening in the fight.

'Jean , she must've kept her one hand free to hold onto the walls. It all makes sense now.'

The battle between Jean and sinner was looking unfair , Jean used her sharp daggers to deal damage while the sinner just took the hits right on.

Hanging onto one of the walls with two daggers in her hand Jean was taking a short break of 2 seconds before she continued bullying it.

'This one is the annoying , what kind of gift does he have? His bones are popping out of his skin , his brain's been exposed for quite a while. Should I go for it?'

Jean was getting impatient , instead of just keep doing the dagger attacks and keep stalling the sinner she wanted to deal one fatal hit to brain and kill him.

One second passed.

'No. As per the information I got from Seven , this guy Krev is the result of desired mutation. I shouldn't get impatient with him. Also this wound...'

Right before going in the fight with Krev , Jean used some tissue to fill in the wound she got from him.

'I need to get it healed too.'

Two seconds passed.

As soon as her break was over she launched herself towards Krev , she threw one of the dagger aiming for Krev's chest while keeping the other dagger in her hand.

Just as the dagger stabbed in Krev's chest Jean was already there to make a cut with the other dagger. After making a cut she picked up the dagger stabbed in the chest and landed on the wall to continue her stream of attacks.

Her insane speed was impossible to keep up with , she continued her attacks even though Krev was on his knee. Jean again launched herself this time aiming for his shoulder , as always she threw one of her dagger first and then followed it with a cut.

While doing this she heard Krev say something.

"It's hopeless..."

The minute she heard that Jean took out the dagger stabbed in his chest and got away as quickly as she could.

'Shoot , I completely forgot about that one victim. He must've sucked the victim's blood out. I shouldn't have went easy on him. Thank god , my kid didn't end up like him.'

"2 minutes till they arrive , huh. F*ck you Seven."

It was unlike of Jean to swear , the coolheaded mutant couldn't control her anger when it came to Seven. Standing few metres away from Krev , Jean could make out what he was mumbling.

"Leave me alone!"

She could sense the anger that those words carried. Instead being scared a nerve popped on her forehead.

'Control Jean , he's just kid.'

While Jean was calming herself down Krev turned his back on her was walking away from her. His face was still distorted and his limbs were healing themselves.

Seeing him walk away Jean swung her hand and threw one of her daggers aiming for his left leg , the sharp tip smoothly yet at insane speed moved through the air until it hit a red wall.

Krev turned his head around and said ,

"Leave me alone , b*tch!"

'Bam'

The next moment his head was buried in the ground , before he could even try to protect himself another hit sent him flying towards the gray wall far away. He had the Deja Vu of the day he got punched by Archbishop Seil , the only difference was that this time he didn't pass out.

"The f*ck you said to me?"

"B... *tch"

'Crack'

It wasn't his ribs making the cracking sound , the wall behind him was in pieces while he was floating in the air. In mid-air , all he felt was the impacts of the attacks as Jean's movements were impossible to keep up with.

"You bring the delinquent side of me."

Stretching her arms out she continued ,

"How long has been since I felt so f*cking angry? Anyways I can't hear y-"

"F... F... F*ck off."

Even though Krev's middle finger was broken , he still showed his broken middle finger to Jean.

"You're just asking for it now , aren't you?"

Jean turned around and picked up her dagger that was earlier blocked , paying no more attention to Krev she walked towards her husband.

"F*ck... you. F*ck you. F*ck you. F*ck you. F-"

"Don't waste your energy on this sh*t. You don't know the value of life."

Those were her last words for Krev , he still continued cursing but Jean didn't look back.

"Sup Bitches!!!"

Suddenly a masked man arrived at the site , jumping down from the building the masked man landed on his legs. His shiny gray hairs were shining under the bright sunlight ,

"F*ck you. F*ck you."

"Oh , that's so unlike you Bishop Krev."

'This voice'

Jean turned back and looked at the man , he wore white jacket with a red logo on the chest region. The mask he wore was weird and unique in it's own way.

"Miss Jean , what did you do to my cute brother? His cute face is completely destroyed, I'm sad."

'I need to stall them for few seconds 03 should on the way.'

"He looks quite angry today , well I'm just gonna take him now. Mama Seven was angry that our rebellious duckling was left behind."

"Just talk like a normal person... Gray."

"Oi Oi , what's the use of this mask then? Don't just reveal my identity like that."

He crossed his arms to cover his chest and said ,

"I feel so exposed."

Everyone could see the disgusted face Jean made.

"I'm not gonna further entertain you two , my squad will take care of you two."

For those who didn't get the duckling reference , I'm gonna explain it for y'all.

Basically Ducks travels in line , or atleast I've seen travelling them one behind another in cartoons. Ducklings (Gray , Krev ,etc.) follow their mother duck(Seven). I hope this helps.

I just released my new novel 'end of the line' , just dumping this idea I had for quite a long time. I don't know if I'll continue it.
