Chapter 3: Operation--Superhero Playact

Now this mission is the most strangest one ever. It was getting even stranger than that and most riduclous. All suit up in their costumes of their undercover superheroine alter egos; Cassandra, Eulalie, Turan, Deirdre, Ariadne, and Juana were ready to go! "Huh, these suits don't ride up or give you a wedgie." Turan noted. Ophelia beamed, "Nice huh. They're comfy while also kick ass." She said. Cassandra posed, "Sweet!" She said. "Yes." Ophelia replied, but she got serious; it look like she's about to say something and she did: "Ladies, your mission is simple--Observe these heroes, and be very careful to not let yourself be exposed. I wish you the best luck!" announced Ophelia, she saluted. Cassandra giggled, "You're cute." She complimented. Ophelia drops her hand, "Hey! I'm being serious!" She protested. "I know, I know." answered Cassandra. "OK, getting ready for teleportation for agents..." Ophelia said, pressing buttons and pulling switches to activate the portal. She continued to talk while typing, "Operation Superhero Playact is commencing....Destination--Valhalla. Portal opening, transportation begins in 10...9...8...7...6...5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!!" "Let's goooooooooo!" Cassandra hollered. And the agents jumped into the portals. Going to this new world! Cassandra smiled triumphantly, "All right ladies, let's go! It's hero time!" She said. "You mean 'Heroine Time', right?" Deirdre corrected. "Whatever!" Cassandra laughed but got serious and said, "Assemble and GO!!!" And off they went! Wendigos were terrorizing the folks in the downtown city, Cassandra and the other girls rescued civilians from the monsters that crawl so fast!

Things got crazier when debris was falling from buildings and crumbling from the weight of mass monsters. They were about to fall on Cassandra, who didn't noticed at the time, until the debris turned to ashes! Now that caught her attention and what she saw surprised her! A figure looking like he was on fire, literally, and he wasn't being burnt to a crisp. "Holy smokes!" thought Cassandra, "Look at him!" She didn't know what to say but she finally said, "Thank you." "Heh! No problem. But you look like you're new here so tell me--Who's your sponser?" The fire guy asked. That confused Cassandra for a moment, "Um, what are you talking about?" asked Cassandra. "You don't have a sponsor?" The fire guy asked, looking at her in disbelief. Cassandra looked morified, if that guy could see which he couldn't! "Um, I don't think I--Am I supposed to?" Cassandra asked. "Well...Who are you toots?" The fire guy inquired, "You are a girl, right?" "Yes I am!" Cassandra confirmed, "My name's Libertas and you are?" "They call me....FIRESTARTER!!!!!" The fire guy said, "I got an S under my clothes! I melt bad guys like water! I'm a badass! A James Bond! A wild card so watch out!" Cassandra looked at him in amazement, "Wow." She said. Firestarter chuckled, "Yeah it is. Sorry, that was a mouthful but yeah, this is how I roll...." Meanwhile; Eulalie was overwhelmed by the swarm of Wendigos and managed to fight them off with her dark powers. She lost her balance as she struggles. Thinking of her fear towards guns; Eulalie thought: "How can I face my fears when I struggle to fight? How far can I go before reaching my limit?" A Wendigo is about to pounce heruntil someone hold it back. Eulalie looked to see who it was--It was a figure in a jumpsuit made from spandex and a trenchcoat. He wore a hooded cloak along with spandex gloves! But Eulalie could see his face--He was a pretty face, absolutely gorgeous. "What a cute." Eulalie thought, but shakes her head. "Stop Lala, focus! Concentrate." She told herself inside her mind. 

To this strange, beautiful disaster of her rescuer she said, "No way. Who the hell are you?" The spandex, trenchcoat clad hero turn to her and said, "The guy that saved your life." "Um, thank you." Eulaie replied, it sounded confused like a question. She seemed interested in this guy, "So...One superhero to another, who are you?" She inquired. "Vincent. Just Vincent." said the guy. "Vincent..." Eulalie said, that name gave her chills, "Wait! Do you have a secret identity?" She asked. "Don't have one." said Vincent. "Oh crap! Why am I getting all shivering about?" She thought. "By any chance, are you aware of the circumstances?" Vincent asked. "You got some sponser?" Eulalie was perplexed, "Um, what now?" She inquired. Later, she was alone after the disbelief of finding out that she was on TV live of Champion Channel! Vincent told her the same thing that Firestarter had told Libertas/Cassandra. It was beyond her belief. "UGH! Ophelia, I am going to rip you apart, you maniac pixie dream girl with a mad crazy, fanatist complex! You totally went out of your head! I'm getting her for this. One day!" Eulalie said to herself. However she was faced with the Wendigos and fought them with help from her dark powers. She smiled at her victory, "Yes! I feel good--almost as I did before!" Eulalie said to herself. Just then, she heard from someone behind her. She turned and saw Vincent applauding, "Huh? Have you been there the whole time?" asked Eulalie. "Well, well. You're not so weak after all." said Vincent. Eulalie shrugged, "Just suffered a set back for a moment." She replied. "Hm. Tell me, who are you Hecate?" Vincent inquired. "Me? I'm just a naive young girl who fell from the eye of the storm, walking down the yellow brick road in order to face the Wicked Witch of the West and the flying monkeys."

"Ah, Wizard of Oz huh? You look like someone trying to find her white rabbit but ends up facing the Queen's deck of cards." Vincent remarked. "OK, I don't need a pretty faced, no secret identity man's help." said Eulalie. She went away but she was surprised attack until Vincent came to the rescue. Eulalie almost fell but Vincent swooped down and carried her in his arms like a groom carrying his bride. Eulalie looked up at him as Vincent smiled at her dazzlingly, "So, does the girl still doesn't need help from the 'pretty faced, no secret idendity man'?" He flirted. Eulalie rolled her eyes and muttered, "Oh brother!" Later; it was all Goram and Vincent could talk about: "Libertas...Hecate...They seem new, how come I never heard of them?" Vincent asked. He and Goram were walking together as Vincent was bugged by these heroines. Goram shrugged, "They must be rookies, kind of like how you were." He said. Vincent crossed his arms in irritation, "Yeah, if rookie was the right word. It's not every day we get a batch of newbies for CC." He said, he had a suspicious look in his eye. Goram soon noticed this, "C'mon Vince, give them  a chance. Just don't do something crazy." He warned. Vincent looked at him, "Like what?" He asked. Goram replied back, "Go off the deep end?" At night, Vasilissa could hear the crow cawing and she counted how any times she could hear it. But as she was counting; Vasilissa was stepping backwards until a fragile glass made her lose her footing. She fell into the pool as Averruncus came to her rescue! However while diving into rescuing the drowning girl; Averruncus is shocked to see who it was: "So, this is Coronis's secret identity." He said. A sinister smile appeard on his face, his makeup was washed off to reveal scars upon his pale face. "Well, what do you know." He said softly. 

How did this came to be? Let's go back to the beginning, shall we? 


Earlier before....

Cassandra, Eulalie, Deirdre, Turan, Ariadne, and Juana are seated in a meeting room. "What the hell is taking her?" Turan groaned. "Patience, Turan. Ophelia moves in mysterious ways." Cassandra assured her. "I wonder what Babyface has for us this time." Eulalie said. "We'll find out soon enough, girls." Deirdre replied. While waiting; they heard a female grunting and incoherent complaining as they got louder. Then, Ophelia came in with a large box and placed it down. "Phew! Talk about a lot of designed costumes to deliver can give someone quite a work out." She said with a sigh and huffing. Ophelia smiled at the girls, "Hey ladies! Sorry for making you wait but I want to show you something..." She said. Cassandra looked suspicious as Ophelia whip out the Moneta and typing on it. "OK," She said. "Your mission is quite interested. This world is known as a land you never dreamed of. It is my pleasure to introduce you to this special mission." Then, Ophelisa said loudly: "Drumroll please!" and imitates a drum sound. Ophelia said, "Introducing--Operation: Playact Superhero!" Cassandra and the others stare at her with weird looks. "Say what?" Eulalie remarked. "Huh?" asked Deirdre. "Um...What now?" said Turan. "Que?" Juana inquired. "What did she say?" asked Ariadne, "What was that last part?" "What is Operation Superhero Playact?" questioned Cassandra, "And what is the meaning of it?" "It's an undercover operative assignment!" piped Ophelia, "This new world has pretty cool heroes there but the catch is to recruit them." "Ohhhhh-kaaayyyy. I think that brain of yours went downhill. Have you gone completely loco?" asked Juana. 

"Yes, I have gone loco--about this world! C'mon, I think it'll be fun!" Ophelia persisted excitedly. All of the agents weren't sure about this idea but Ophelia was their friend and they didn't and they didn't want to erupt her joy of this mission with disappointment. Cass smiled, "We'll do it!" She said. "You will? Great! I'm glad." Ophelia squealed. The girls were shock by Cassandra's response however she knew this mission might be good and ease the pain of deceased members nevertheless no one was going to get betrayed nor killed again. Ophelia gave the girls their so-called superheroine costumes; Juana's outfit resembled an angel white getup complete with sparkles and a mass of glitter. Ariadne's outfit has sea blue and ice blue clothing, the style was a dress. Turan has a red catsuit with red roses that gave the illusion of being bloodied--Just the way Turan likes it! Deirdre's costume was a breastplate that covered her chest like a corset top, she had a fringe skirt with culottes underneath. Golden winged sandals with a higer heel. Eulalie's outfit was a black lace top, leggenings, and a cloak with a hood. And lastily; Cassandra's outfit was a short jacket, a light colored shirt, pants, knee high boots, a sash around her waist that covered her hips. Also that included a firebird leavint its cage as a symbol on her badge and the back of her jacket. The costume came with gloves and an ink blotted mask which resembled the phoenix. The girls were also given superheroine personas: Cassandra is Libertas, Eulalie is Hecate, Deirdre is Belladonna, Turan is Asena, Ariadne is Oceana Coldstone, and Juanais Lumen. This was going to be the most epic, weirdest mission but Operation Superhero Playact was commencing the mysterious land. 

All suit up in ther costumes of their undercover superheroine alter egos; Cassandra, Eulalie, Turan, Deirdre, Ariadne, and Juana were ready to go! "Huh, these suits don't ride up or give you a wedgie." Turan noted. Ophelia beamed, "Nice huh. They're comfy while also kick ass." She said. Cassandra posed, "Sweet!" She said. "Yes." Ophelia replied, but she got serious; it look like she's about to say something and she did: "Ladies, your mission is simple--Observe these heroes, and be very careful to not let yourself be exposed. I wish you the best luck!" announced Ophelia, she saluted. Cassandra giggled, "You're cute." She complimented. Ophelia drops her hand, "Hey! I'm being serious!" She protested. "I know, I know." answered Cassandra. "OK, getting ready for teleportation for agents..." Ophelia said, pressing buttons and pulling switches to activate the portal. She continued to talk while typing, "Operation Superhero Playact is commencing....Destination--Valhalla. Portal opening, transportation begins in 10...9...8...7...6...5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!!" "Let's goooooooooo!" Cassandra hollered. And the agents jumped into the portals. Ophelia watched them disappear, "Good luck agents." She said in a soft tone. Cassandra and the girls found out they wer falling like the flies, "What the hell? Why are we falling? What's going on?" Cassandra hollered. "I don't know, Cass! It's insane!" Eulalie called. They used their flight as they landed somewhere safe. "Ophelia, what the hell?" demanded Cassandra. "Oopsie Daises! Sorry, accidentally placed you in the wrong area of Valhalla." Ophelia's voice on the earpiece communicator. Cassandra sighed. "Seriously?" Turan demanded, "You're such a ditz!" "Yes, yes. So I've heard." Ophelia replied, "LISTEN UP!!! Wendigo Attack--Downtown, at 3 o'clock!" 


Cassandra smiled triumphantly, "All right ladies, let's go! It's hero time!" She said. "You mean 'Heroine Time', right?" Deirdre corrected. "Whatever!" Cassandra laughed but got serious and said, "Assemble and GO!!!" And off they went! Wendigos were terrorizing the folks in the downtown city, Cassandra and the other girls rescued civilians from the monsters that crawl so fast, have sharp teeth, and blood thirsty intentions! Even scary looking! But things got crazier when debris was falling from buildings and crumbling from the weight of mass monsters. They were about to fall on Cassandra, who didn't noticed at the time, until the debris turned to ashes! Now that caught her attention and what she saw surprised her! A figure looking like he was on fire, literally, and he wasn't being burnt to a crisp. "Holy smokes!" thought Cassandra, "Look at him!" She didn't know what to say but she finally said, "Thank you." "Heh! No problem. But you look like you're new here so tell me--Who's your sponser?" The fire guy asked. That confused Cassandra for a moment, "Um, what are you talking about?" asked Cassandra. "You don't have a sponsor?" The fire guy asked, looking at her in disbelief. Cassandra looked morified, if that guy could see which he couldn't! "Um, I don't think I--Am I supposed to?" Cassandra asked. "Well...Who are you toots?" The fire guy inquired, "You are a girl, right?" "Yes I am!" Cassandra confirmed, "My name's Libertas and you are?" "They call me....FIRESTARTER!!!!!" The fire guy said, "I got an S under my clothes! I melt bad guys like water! I'm a badass! A James Bond! A wild card so watch out!" Cassandra looked at him in amazement, "Wow." She said. 

"Yeah it is. Sorry, that was a mouthful but yeah, this is how I roll. I mean Champion Channel comes up with this stuff..." Firestarter said with a slight chuckle. Cassandra had a weird look on her face, "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! What are you talking about? What is Champion Channel?" She asked. Firestarter glance at her, "You don't know? Why, Champion Channel is a TV show where crime fighting is mainstream entertainment broadcasting." He explained. It felt like someone punch her in the gut hard, Cass couldn't believe it. "You're trying to tell me WE'RE ON TV!!!!" Cassandra cried. Firestarter weakly smirked, "Guess you didn't know, did you?" He teased. Cassandra let out an angry screech, she tackles Firestarter to the ground as his flames don't bother her all that much. "You mean to tell me we're on TV and I didn't know about it?!" She demanded. Firestarter look at her solemnly, "Welcome to Valhalla City, Libertas. The whole world is watching us heroes." He answered. Cassandra lets go of him, "Terrific. Well, let's get to work." She replied darkly, and the two head off! Meanwhile; Eulalie was overwhelmed by the swarm of Wendigos and managed to fight them off with her dark powers. She lost her balance as she struggles. Thinking of her fear towards guns; Eulalie thought: "How can I face my fears when I struggle to fight? How far can I go before reaching my limit?" A Wendigo is about to pounce her until someone hold it back. Eulalie looked to see who it was--It was a figure in a jumpsuit made from spandex and a trenchcoat. He wore a hooded cloak along with spandex gloves! But Eulalie could see his face--He was a pretty face, absolutely gorgeous. "What a cutie." Eulalie thought, but shakes her head. "Stop Lala, focus! Concentrate." She told herself inside her mind. 

To this strange, beautiful disaster of her rescuer she said, "No way. Who the hell are you?" The spandex, trenchcoat clad hero turn to her and said, "The guy that saved your life." "Um, thank you." Eulalie replied, it sounded confused like a question. She seemed interested in this guy, "So...One superhero to another, who are you?" She inquired. "Vincent. Just Vincent." said the guy. "Vincent..." Eulalie said, that name gave her chills, "Wait! Do you have a secret identity?" She asked. "Don't have one." said Vincent. "Oh crap! Why am I getting all shivering about?" She thought. "By any chance, are you aware of the circumstances?" Vincent asked. "You got some sponser?" Eulalie was perplexed, "Um, what now?" She inquired. Later, she was alone after the disbelief of finding out that she was on TV live of Champion Channel! Vincent told her the same thing that Firestarter had told Libertas/Cassandra. It was beyond her belief. "UGH! Ophelia, I am going to rip you apart, you maniac pixie dream girl with a mad crazy, fantasist complex! You totally went out of your head! I'm getting her for this. One day!" Eulalie said to herself. However she was faced with the Wendigos and fought them with help from her dark powers. She smiled at her victory, "Yes! I feel good--almost as I did before!" Eulalie said to herself. Just then, she heard from someone behind her. She turned and saw Vincent applauding, "Huh? Have you been there the whole time?" asked Eulalie. "Well, well. You're not so weak after all." said Vincent. Eulalie shrugged, "Just suffered a set back for a moment." She replied. "Hm. Tell me, who are you Hecate?" Vincent inquired. "Me? I'm just a naive young girl who fell from the eye of the storm, walking down the yellow brick road in order to face the Wicked Witch of the West and the flying monkeys."

"Ah, Wizard of Oz huh? You look like someone trying to find her white rabbit but ends up facing the Queen's deck of cards." Vincent remarked. "OK, I don't need a pretty faced, no secret identity man's help." said Eulalie. She went away but she was surprised attack until Vincent came to the rescue. Eulalie almost fell but Vincent swooped down and carried her in his arms like a groom carrying his bride. Eulalie looked up at him as Vincent smiled at her dazzlingly, "So, does the girl still doesn't need help from the 'pretty faced, no secret idendity man'?" He flirted. Eulalie rolled her eyes and muttered, "Oh brother!" but she moaned out loud, "OK, fine! Yes, please." So the two of them worked together to fight off the monsters. In the meantime; Deirdre meets Undine and her best friend Sylph, Turan meets Gnome, Ariadne meets Wyvern, and Juana meets the flamboyant and foppish Serket. And Mimir, who also went undercover, meet Salamander. They got along with one another easily as they had some things in common. Later, Cassandra and Firestarter were alone in private to talk. "OK, let me get this straight....You're no actor, you're an actually a hero and we're on TV live. This is all real, right?" said Cassandra. "Yes." Firestarter replied with a nod. "And you're partnered with some rookie hero who is simply known as Vincent." Cassandra continued. "Yup." Firestarter said, with a nod again. "Who is known as the Vincent Muninn, a sybarite of an intellectual yet wealthy and kind family. But his family was tragically murdered, yada yada right?" Cassandra said. Firestarter laughed, "Yes. You got ir right, now I don't have to sayit fifteen hundred times." He remarked. Firestarter then glance at Cassandra--well, Libertas--and had to ask: "What's your deal here, Libertas?" "Just helping out but don't want tobe noticed while being BROADCAST LIVE!!!" Cassandra exclaimed. Firestarter held up his hands in defense, "Sorry, I wasn't aware." He affirmed, "What kind of superhero are you?" That left Cass stuttering, "Um..uh..." but then she heard something from her ear communicator: "'ne of a 'ind!"


"Excuse me." Cassandra said to Firestarter, then she turned away and whispered into it, "What did you say?" Borvo's voice said, "You're one of a kind!" Cassandra realized something and then a sly smile appear on her face, "Oh....!" She said. Then, turning back to Firestarter, "I'm sorry, what did you say?" She asked. "I said, what kind of superhero are you?" Firestarter said. Cassandra posed and she said, "One of a kind!" Firestarter looked at her with amazement, "You surprise me." He said. Cassandra gave him a look, "Anymore surprises I should know?" She queried. Suddenly, Firestarter's communicator beeped and he gasped. "'Snap!" He cursed. "What?" asked Cassandra. "Gotta go." Firestarter said, "Catcha later!" He flew away as Cassandra watched him go. Later, in a skirt with the hem falls just above her knees and a blouse with leather boots; Cassandra found the building of where Champion Channel. Cassandra meets Champion Channel's producer Priscilla Traian, and her crew of the station--Ananias 'Nias', Sapphira, and Garuda. Priscilla gave her a package and ask her to deliever it to a guy name Goram Hugo, which Cassandra obediantly complies. While looking for where the guy's house is, she was given by Priscilla to give it some guy name Goram Hugo. As she looked around, Cassandra looked around however she didn't see where she was going and bumped into somebody else. "Oh, I'm sorry--!" Cassandra apologized. She looked to see a tan skinned man there that had black hair, he wore a long-sleeved woven shirt with a faded red plaid pattern and two front pockets, black jeans with a low rise and a slim, straight fit, and boots with black suede upper, capped suede toe, 7 eyelet lace-up front and a side zip on the inside panel. He seemed pretty friendly when he said, "It's OK. You all right?" Cassandra smiled, "Uh huh, I'm fine." She said. The guy noticed Cass has something in her arms, "You delivering something?" He inquired. "Um, yeah. It's for someone by the name of Goram Hugo." said Cassandra. 


The guy looked at her before smirking, "Oh, I believe you've found him." He affirmed. Cassandra look at him in shock, "Huh?" She asked. Goram and Cassandra enter his house but the place had bottles, papers, and stuff everywhere. "Sorry, it's a mess here." Goram said with a shameful look. Cassandra shrugged, "It's all right, I've seen worse." She claimed, "I mean, besides the pigsty it's a nice place here." Goram nodded, "Yeah..." He said. "By the way, thanks again--back there." Cassandra replied. Goram smiled at her, "No problem." He said. Cassandra looked around the place and found picture frames as she found a picture of Goram with a woman in white. There was another frame of Goram and the woman but with a baby. "Oh, you're married?" Cassandra asked. Goram nodded, "Used to, my wife passed away after the birth of my daughter." He said. Cassandra pretended to be surprised, "You have a daughter? Where is she?" She inquired. "She's living with my mother, you see my job is pretty hectic so...." remarked Goram. Cassandra had to guess, "You got a busy schedule?" She asked. Goram shrugged, "You could say that." He said. Cassandra smiled, "I see." She said. Just then, the phone rang. Goram jumped up, "Hang on, I'll be back." He said and ran off to answer the phone in the next room. Cass looked around and whispered to herself, "Mary Poppins, do your magic." Immediately; the bottles and other stuff was immediately clean up the rest as the pigsty was turned into a tidied up house. Smiling; Cassandra said to herself softly, "Work that, Firestarter." Goram return to the living room, "Hey, sorry 'bout that...Whoa! You cleaned the place." He said with surprise. Cassandra turned to him and beamed, "I sure did. Glad I could help." She said. "Thanks, any chance you can clean my place while I'm away?" Goram replied. "Sure." Cassandra answered, nodding. "And I'll pay." Goram added. Cassandra look offended, "No, I don't want--" She said. 


Goram insisted, "Please, I insist. I mean, you clean faster than a janitor." He remarked. Cassandra looked at his face and smiled, "All right, why not. Thank you." She answered. "No, thank you." Goram said. As she telekinetically clean Goram Hugo's place; she stop to take a break and dig up her research on Firestarter but she learns Firestarter and Goram Hugo were the same person. "Figured you out, Firestarter. Let's see if you can figure me out." Cassandra said to herself. She did her homework on the other heroes: Gnome, the earth brute, is Goram's best friend name Harold Edgar. Undine, superheroine of fanservice of sexy and water but her true identity is Avona Collins. Undine's partner and best friend, Sylph however her real name is Miriam Dean. The ever once so popular Salamander is really Eldred Epona, Wyvern is the shy and insecure but quirky yet good hearted Fridi Elver. And effeminate Serket is the intersexual Guthrum Francesco. Now things were about to get interesting for Cassandra and the others with these heroes. Later, Cassandra and Goram were attending some sort of the arrival of Vincent Muninn. Goram offered, which left Cass so curious as she agreed to come along. "So, I get to meet the Vincent Muninn huh." Cassandra said. Goram looked annoyed but he smiled, "Yeah but don't get too excited." He warned. Cassandra look confused, "Why would I?" She asked. Just then, a familiar voice called out: "Hey, what's going on?" Cassandra turned around eagerly, "Eulalie! Where have you been?" She asked. Eulalie shrugged, "Oh, I've been around and about." She claimed. Cassandra nodded and made the introduction: "Goram, this is my friend Eulalie. Eulalie? This is Goram Hugo." Goram held out his hand, "What's up?" He said. Eulalie took his hand and shook it, "Hi." She said. Then; Eulalie learned what was going on: "Oh, wait a minute. Some of those intelluctual snobs are coming here? Great, those spoiled richly and trashy people whoare nothing but insolent, arrogant, insufferably, imprudent bastards that are--" She ranted. But when she saw who it was, she stopped and ended it by saying, "--So hot!" Vincent Muninn is a physically fit with lean muscled guy but he was so cute. 

His hair is sandy blonde, his eyes are hazel, and lightest pinkish white skin that was beloved. Vincent was wearing a red garment covered his torso and arms, which was called a pullover and skinny fit jeans of the color dark indigo wash. Cassandra wasn't lovestruck however she remarked, "Wow, thanks for the warning." Goram looked over at her, "Not crazy 'bout him huh?" He asked. Cassandra shook her head, "Nah, but I have to give him a compliment--He's so handsome!" She answerd. Goram breathed a sigh of relief. Eulalie squinted her eyes at Vincent and then her eyes widened in amazement, "Wait, it's him!" She thought. "Oh man, do I look OK? Where's my stuff?"  said Eulalie. She rummanging as she was talking to herself, "Hm, hm, hm...." Just then, she heard a familiar voice: "Hey beautiful, need a hand?" Eulalie was so startled that she dropped her things and looked to grin nervously at him, "Beautiful? Me? Like hell, heh heh...Um, this is Cassandra Endymion." She said. However she saw her stuff on the ground, "Excuse me." Vincent looked at him and he heard a female's voice, "Hi, Vincent Muninn? I'm Cassandra." said Cassandra. Vincent shake her hand, "Charmed." He said. "Good seeing you, Vince." Goram greeted his friend. Vincent nodded at his friend with a grin back, "You too, Goram." He said. "Your friend OK?" Vincent asked, looking over at klutzy Eulalie. Cassandra nodded, "Yeah...I guess." She said. Vincent excused himself and came to Eulalie's aid: "Need some help?" "I got it." Eulalie claimed, a little embarrassed. Eulalie was scrambling around her as she try to get the rest of her papers, but she accidentally touched Vincent's hand. Blushing; she moved her hand away and try to not breathe out a gasp. "So, you're Hecate's sponsor?" Vincent asked. Eulalie shyly looked at him, "Oh yeah, she's pretty much of a sweet disaster ain't she?" She ranted. Vincnet leaned over at her, "Sweet diaster is the perfect definition for Hecate." He purred. Eulalie managed to squeak out a reply, "So true." Why was not Goram surprised, he knew this was coming. "Oh boy." He said Cassandra looks at him, "He charms almost every girl?" She asked. Goram smirked at her weakly, "You have no idea." He said. Cassandra had to suppressed a giggle. Later, it was all that Goram and his friend Vincent could talk about. 


"Libertas...Hecate...They seem new, how come I never heard of them?" Vincent asked. He and Goram were walking together as Vincent was bugged by these heroines. Goram shrugged, "They must be rookies, kind of like how you were." He said. Vincent crossed his arms in irritation, "Yeah, if rookie was the right word. It's not every day we get a batch of newbies for CC." He said, he had a suspicious look in his eye. Goram soon noticed this, "C'mon Vince, give them  a chance. Just don't do something crazy." He warned. Vincent looked at him, "Like what?" He asked. Goram replied back, "Go off the deep end?" In a strapless, sleeveless black velvet bodice, dark feathered ballet tutu, and swan inspired eye makeup; Vasilissa became an undercover heroine but she posed in the mirror. "Nice costume, very Black Swan." Androcles remarked. Vasilissa turned to him and grinned, "I think it suits me but there's no evil intentions in me." She said. Yvain looked puzzled at her, "You sure she's there?" He asked. Vasilissa looked at him seriously, "I saw a vision of her, she's there--I know it." She confirms. Yvain nodded but looked at her up and down, "So, what are you calling yourself? Black Swan?" He asked. Vasilissa thought about this for a moment, "Maybe Black Star but Black Swan, I mean it sounds deceiving like Odile." She said, "So, I thought of something unique and something less dark, sexy, and fraude." Androcles looked at her, "What is it?" He asked. "Coronis. It's, uh, Greek for 'crow' or 'raven'." Vasilissa replied. "Not the same as Apollo's cheating lover?" Yvain asked, a hint of teasing was in his voice. Vasilissa gave him a look, "Don't start." She warned. In Valhalla; Vasilissa was in her superheroine disguise as she was on rooftop to rooftop. "C'mon, c'mon. Where is she anyway?" She muttered to herself. 


Just then, she had a vision of someone in black with face marking makeup on his face. There was a crow on the figure's shoulder. Vasilissa gasped in horror, "Who is that?" She thought. Vasilissa jumped when she heard the call of the crow going: "Caw, caw!" Vasilissa forced herself to relax, "It's just a crow, nothing to it." She told herself. "Caw, caw. The crow cries." A voice said, "It howls of a victim's demise when I take out and torture those that escaped the judicial branch. Tell me, are you a crow? A raven? Or a black swan?" Vasilissa turned around and saw a man in black attire with white face makeup and black markings that resembled scars. "Who are you?" Vasilissa asked in a trembling voice. "I am Averruncus, the Crow to avenge the victims and take down the ones who are responsible." said the man in black. "Justice? Crow? I didn't know that!" Vasilissa thought to herself. "And pray tell who you are?" asked Averruncus. "I'm Coronis. I am on a quest to find someone here." Vasilissa claimed. Averruncus circled around her as he observes her, "How come I never heard of you?" He asked. Vasilissa swallowed her panic, "I'm a rookie. Please, have mercy--I am no threat here." She said. Averruncus nodded, "Good to her, which is why I like to test you." He said. Vasilissa looked at him curiously, "Test me? On what?" She asked. "How many times can you the crow's cry? If you count how many times, perhaps I can let you see what my identity." Averruncus explained. Vasilissa was surprised at this, why would he say that? Who was he anyway? But she nodded, "OK, it's a deal." said Vasilissa. 


While standing, Vasilissa could hear the crow cawing and she counted how any times she could hear it. But as she was counting; Vasilissa was stepping backwards until a fragile glass made her lose her footing. She fell into the pool as Averruncus came to her rescue! However while diving into rescuing the drowning girl; Averruncus is shocked to see who it was: "So, this is Coronis's secret identity." He said. A sinister smile appeard on his face, his makeup was washed off to reveal scars upon his pale face. "Well, what do you know." He said softly. Not knowing for she was unconscious; Vasilissa's life was about to change....forever!
