After a ten minute walk, I turned up to the address I was given. It was an abandoned garage of some sorts. Someone was waiting outside; a bouncer, I'd assume.

I walk over to the guy and before I could say anything, he said "Clarification for entry please."

I grabbed my phone and showed him the entry password I was given. He looked at me before giving me a single nod. He opened the door beside him with just his hand. I nodded my head back before walking through.

The door shut firmly behind me as I looked around. It was a huge white room with a few doors along the right wall. The main room seems to be the everything room almost; like the planning and chilling room. In view, five other people are seen; three males and two females. I take a quiet deep breath before walking over to all of them.

It was a fairly long walk as the room is so huge and empty. I finally make it over to everyone.

"Ruby, right?" a guy asks me as soon as he laid eyes on me.

"That's right." I responded.

"Welcome to the team, Ruby," we both shook hands "I'm Hank." he finally let go of my hand.

Hank looked in his forties, he was wearing a tank top and what looked like leggings with black trainers. It seemed like he was balding and his facial hair was kept to a minimum. His green eyes reminded me of two shining emeralds and his smile made me smile.

"Go ahead and introduce yourself to everyone else." he beamed at me.

I nodded in response as the rest looked at me.

"Hi, I'm River." a woman walked over to me as she held her hand out.

"Hi, I'm Ruby." I shook her hand.

She then pulled me close and whispered "I know you're a supernatural too."

My eyes widened as I nodded against her lips. I could feel her smile as she pulled away. She was smiling indeed. She kept hold of my hand as she tugged me to the girls toilets.

I closed the door behind us as she stared at me. She was wearing the same thing as me but hers was blue with ocean linings along the edges of her suit. Her hair was jet black - roughly the same length as my hair - and had ocean blue eyes. Her skin was milk pale with no freckles unlike me.

"You're fire and I'm water." she said.

"I wasn't expecting to work alongside another supernatural." I laughed.

"Me neither," she giggled "But we are opposites so we can accidentally hurt each other." she pointed out.

"True," I pouted "But I do have the power to heal if all goes wrong."

"You do?"

"I was born with a few different powers." I scratched the back of my head.

Her mouth was wide open. I could probably give her a wet willy with her own saliva, her mouth was that open.

"Earth to River." I laughed.

"Sorry," she paused "It's just that," she paused again "H-how do you have multiple different powers without being experimented on?"

"I have no idea, I'm as clueless as you are."

"I'm not just clueless, I'm flabbergasted." she replied.

"But look, if I do accidentally hurt you, I can heal you." I said.

"Do you heal with your fire?"

"Yeah but the fire is blue so it can't hurt anyone."

"That's cool. Okay, I can't heal or anything like that. But I can do multiple different things with my water powers. I can use it to shield people, I can make a water sword to do more damage, I can walk on it to give me a bit more speed, and I can just shoot it from my hands like a witch with her wand. And I can use up to two at once."

"Oh that's cool," I responded "I'm not sure what I can do with my fire powers," I giggled out of embarrassment "But I can burn people and things if needs be. I obviously have healing powers but I can only access that through my right arm and hand. I can switch between that and my regular fire to whichever one I need but I can only use one at a time. I also have vampire like speed whenever I run but I can keep that under control."

"Oh that is cool," she replied "I think we'll be able to work alongside each other well." she said.

"I think so too."

"Well I'm obviously River. I'm twenty, lesbian, single and lived quite a nice life without having to use my powers too much."

"Well I'm Ruby. I'm twenty-two in three days, also lesbian, single but have a five year old at home, I haven't lived a good life. The guy we're after raped me and my main mission is to kill him." I admitted without giving too much away.

Tears formed at her eyes as she hugged me "You became a mum at sixteen?" she asked.

"Yeah I did," I replied "But a teacher from the school took me in and helped me out."

"You were homeless too?"

"Yeah."

"You're unbelievable." her grasp was tight but it was only because she lived a good life when I haven't.

"It's okay," I pulled away from her "It's just life, isn't it? We get what we get."

"Well," she paused "I can help you talk to the team to plan on killing him. I think if you give your reasoning, they may be supportive of the idea."

"That's an idea," I responded, looking at the door before sighing "I just have a feeling they won't be supportive as the police want him alive unless a threat to us."

"True, I forgot about that. Well let's just see what happens." she smiled.

"Yeah, I replied."

After having further conversation on our powers, I opened the door and we left the room. We walked over to everyone else and I was introduced to everyone else.

There was a woman named Ivy. She looked in her mid-thirties and was wearing a matching sports outfit which was black and white. Her blonde hair was up in a ponytail and her faded blue eyes almost looked grey.

There was Alex who is non-binary. Alex prefers the pronouns they/them but doesn't mind he/them as they're originally male. Alex looks around eighteen and has thick brown hair, their brown eyes matching the colour of their hair, with no facial hair. They were also wearing a tank top, like Hank, neon blue shorts and black trainers.

Finally, there was James. His tanned skin stood out from everyone else. He said he was twenty-nine, married and has two young children. James was wearing a sports shirt with shorts and leggings underneath them. He was wearing navy blue trainers to go with his blue look. James had a buzz cut with a beard - a proud ginger, and seemed pretty strong from his body figure; he's buff.

An hour had passed when Hank called us all to this circular wooden table. We all circled the table as he gave us the plan.
