Beginnings x And x Ends

Y/n approached the rendezvous point slowly. Her friend Chrollo had told her to meet up there.

"Hey, Topaz! Over here!" A light, cheerful voice called from behind the building.

"Oh, hey, Shalnark." She said as she walked around the abandoned building, recognizing her alias for this particular group of people. "Is the entire Troupe here?"

She was answered with a nod. She smiled, then turned the corner into the abandoned building to see twelve others besides Shalnark.

"Topaz." The danchou of the group looked up from his book to acknowledge her. Y/n didn't get why he kept reading it. It was just a book of stolen nen abilities, nothing more. She had a feeling Chrollo had already memorised each page. So what was the point of reading it over and over?

She gave a sharp nod of greeting back at the man, then turned to the twelve murderers before her. She noticed immediately that one of her favourite puppet-obsessed members had disappeared, replaced with a goofy-looking clown.

"Where's Omo?" She asked, scanning the Omokage replacement suspiciously.

"No worries~♠️" the clown cooed in an oily voice that made her shiver. "It was only a puppet of his that I managed to kill~♣️"

She raised an eyebrow. "And you are?"

"Hisoka~♥" The clown, now apparently Hisoka, answered smoothly. There was something about him that was so wrong. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Topaz. I've been hearing so much about you~♦️"

Y/n narrowed her eyes, then decided not to waste her time on him. She bounded up the pieces of miscellaneous debris and took her place next to Chrollo, glancing over his shoulder at the stolen ability he was looking over.

"Whatcha reading?" She asked cheerily.

"That'd be none of your concern." The progenitor answered, his unreadable expression showing just a slight hint of amusement that you wouldn't notice unless you were looking for it.

"I'll be staying here until Monday," Y/n told him, sitting down and swinging her legs over the piece of concrete that kept her in the air. It wasn't a request. She was staying here until Monday, nothing more, nothing less. And Chrollo seemed not to care.

"Topaz!" A booming voice called from below. She looked down, and saw the number eleven of the Troupe looking up at her.

"What is it?" She called back, raising her voice to match Uvogin's.

"Wanna play slapjack with us?" Came the answer.

"You just want another person to beat, don't you?" She heard Machi say in her usual bored voice.

"Sure, why not," Y/n answered, leaping down from her ledge and taking a spot next to Feitan, grabbing her pile of cards. "You playing, Fei?"

"Evidently." He replied in his usual monotone, although it sounded a bit extra irritated today. Feitan set his pile of cards down on the makeshift 'table,' but really it was just a large piece of concrete that had probably fallen from the ceiling.

"You wanna start, Uvo?" Shalnark offered. "If not, I can do it."

"Nah, give the job to Topaz." The larger man replied dismissively. "She's been out for an extra week and a half. That commission must be a handful, huh?"

"It is." Y/n agreed. It wasn't exactly a commission. It was an extra little mission she had to do for the Chairman, nothing more. That was her life after all. Lies over lies over lies, piling up until she didn't know what truth was anymore.
