(Hey, people, thanks for your patience, and sorry about the wait. Had to make it worth waiting for! Darlantan.)
Fire and Ice 3. The Gathering.
The doorbell was so commonplace that Kendra almost laughed. The cowbell gave a jangle as they pushed through the door. There was a young girl, barely out of school, taking orders by the counter. Kendra's eyes darted around at the other people in the diner, but if they were Centre plants, they were good ones. Nearly to a man and woman, they looked up and then after a cursory glance at her breasts or at Scott, they looked away. Except for a man in the back corner, who didn't even bother to look up, but instead concentrated on his mug.
Scott grunted as the young girl smiled charmingly at him. "Take a place anywhere, hon, and I'll be with you in a sec." The big cryogenic sniffed and lifted his chin towards the man at the back of the room. "We're here for him. To meet." The girl nodded and smiled, revealing a frightening lack of thought. "Well, when you're ready, you just come for me, okay?"
Kendra raised an eyebrow, and the waitress looked her up and down, a hungry light flashing through her eyes for a moment. Then she winked. Kendra shook her head, and stared at her, but the waitress didn't take notice. She just kept going on about her business. The pyrokinetic looked up at Scott and frowned slightly, but he squeezed her hand and moved towards the dark corner. The waitress looked back over her shoulder and flicked her tongue out at Kendra with a naughty little smirk. Kendra felt herself become suddenly moist, and followed Scott with a held breath.
The man in the corner sat, staring down at his mug, and didn't even look up until the two of them slid into the booth opposite him. When he did look up, there was something off about his face, an inhuman hunger. But his handsome features were the same as his brother's. But whereas Scott's eyes were a warm, confidant mix of blue and silver that shined when he laughed, his brother's eyes were black, and haunted. That's what was off about his face. He had absolutely no colour to his eyes.
The black and white orbs moved sideways and slid into hers with a sudden glare of power. The haunted look faded, and power blazed there, power and rage. Scott's fist hit the table and scared her, but his brother barely smiled. "Fire and Ice. Sounds like a nightclub. Talk about opposites attracting. How strange that it could work so well." His eyes moved back to his brother. "Mythril. You look well. For a man who kills so...easily."
Scott slowly withdrew his hand and slid it beneath the table. Kendra grasped it reassuringly, and Scott took a deep breath. "Marrack. Nice trick with the phone. Spooky." For the first time, a genuine smile lit the man's features, barring his eyes. No amusement flickered there, only that same haunting hunger. "Spooky is what I do, little brother. Actually, it was rather simple, scarily so. I cast a spell, and the spirit that connected us looked for your essence, not your phone number. When it found you, it was a small enough matter to make the phone ring."
Scott nodded, and his eyes dropped. "What are you doing here, brother?" Marrack stared at his brother. "I thought we'd talk for a while. Before moving on to the unpleasantness, I mean. Some refreshment?" He raised his hand, and the waitress with the naughty eyes and tongue sidled over. Kendra felt herself begin to heat up, and bit her lip. The waitress stood with one hip jutted out to the side, and smiled down at them. "Something I can get you...?" she breathed. Kendra sat back, and Marrack leant over towards her and gestured. The waitress leant down, her uniform tight against her body.
Scott shifted in his seat as Marrack twisted his hand towards her, and something moved along the table and slid into her. She shuddered and smiled. Marrack's eyes slid to the side to appraise his brother. "Well, ice-man?" Scott glanced at the waitress. "Hot chocolate, please." Kendra swallowed and smiled weakly. "Iced coffee." Marrack snorted. "Well," he sang, mockingly. "I guess that means I'll have to have some angel fruit cake." The waitress gave a breathy laugh, and Marrack shook his head slowly, his eyes locked on hers.
"On second thoughts, you can go and get their drinks, and then I'm going to let you swallow my cock. You're a cum hungry whore, who wants what I can give." Scott and Kendra stared at him, then up at the waitress. She smiled and licked her lips. "Yes, master..." Marrack turned back to the table and smiled, this time it reached his eyes, the hunger flaring. "You see, brother, when you killed me, you let me discover something truly magical. The magic of sin, brother, can grant tremendous powers in this world. This world is already steeped in sins, something that only spurs my powers."
