Wielders

chapter 3

"Claire!" Jill runs into claire's room in her underwear. "today's the day we go apartment hunting." Jill starts jumping on Claire's chair, but claire mumbles for more time to sleep. "wake up silly it's time to go hunting". Jill continues jumping up and down, higher and higher. "well it's not the best type of hunting, but you look happy so i'll try and be happy too." Jill smiles, then claire hugs her sister to the ground both of them in their underwear. Malcolm walks in and stares at them. Josue then teleports behind them with his face beet red from blushing with wide eyes, but then looks down and a blank expression appears on his face. "Malcolm can you...." Malcolm whips out his phone before josue can finish talking. "take ten thousand pictures." Josue gets a playful smirk on his face as jill tries to take malcolm's phone from him. "no I need you to...." Jill interrupts josue before he can finish forgetting about the phone. "Get ready to go apartment hunting." josue's face loses the blush he had. "oh right that's what I forget, well then get going." Josue claps hands and looks at them. "now!" After spending hours looking at real estate claire, jill and malcolm have reached the second to last property of their search. Malcolm, claire and jill are shown relaxing in the living room of a massive apartment loft. "well that was a pretty bathroom right Claire." Jill looks at Claire and Malcolm as the three of them mull the loft. "well the pool and layout suit our needs perfectly and the lofts balcony and windows give a great view of grand city." claire and jill then turn to the now sleeping Malcolm, who doesn't wake up but answers them in his sleep. "agreed this is the best choice but you heard the sales lady we have to go to the next site, then make a choice." A woman dressed in a suit, with a mask button on her breast pocket walks into the living room. Her features disoriented when focusing on them, as if she doesn't belong. "simpletons let's go" The sales lady motions for them to start leaving. "hurry up you can't wait this long, i have a schedule to keep." The woman gets frustrated with how slow their moving so she grabs Jill and begins to try to drag her to exit. "GET AWAY FROM HER." Claire summons a simple revolver and blows the woman's brains off when she sees her move jill. Malcolm opens his eyes at the sound of gunshots and jill looks concerned, but claire just looks at both of them nonchalantly. "any objections?" Malcolm just shrugs as jill responds first. "Nope thanks sis." Jill smiles happily at claire before malcolm answers. "none from me but your aim is getting better." Claire smiles at the compliment then Malcolm turns to the mess she made. "how do we get rid of this dead body claire?" Malcolm looks more closely at the bloody floor and wall, squinting as the blood starts to smolder but claire doesn't notice. "Not a problem, use your power to repel the blood from the wall and floor and I will deal with the body." Claire is about to tell jill what to do when she sees jill turning the girls head to see her collarbone. "wait look at her neck." Claire walks over to see what jill found. "what could be so im..." Malcolm reads jill's mind before they call him. "I'll get rid of the blood in the furnace." Malcolm leaves to deal with the blood as jill turns to claire. "Should we have seen this I mean she did drag me so she couldn't have been normal." Malcolm comes back without the blood. "It's done, just in time too the blood just turned to acid." They all stare at the dissolving body before claire speaks up. "Let's keep this under the hood for now." They all agree and leave the nice loft as jill speaks up. "well at least it was a good apartment" They all leave with that thought in mind. Nighttime had fallen over grand city and team one stood on top of one of the tallest skyscrapers in grand city. Josue hasn't spoken since they had meet up after the shopping. "So Claire it's beautiful tonight under the moonlight." Josue stares at the moon while claire begins to look nervous. Jill and Malcolm begin to look nervous as they worry he found out what they did earlier, so claire plays along. "It really is I mean look at grand city." The huge london like city with lights, trains going through building and a great view of the dead lands. "The view is indeed breathtaking." Josue just gazes over the view the city as the others squirm but claire keeps talking. "it sure is." Josue then looks away from the view to the roof their standing on. "so how was the hunting?" Jill, seeing a chance to not talk about the actual search, walks up to josue and puts her hands on her hips and glares at him. "so why couldn't you make it?" Claire and Malcolm looking relieved at Josue. "Kim just got out of the shower and I saw her nude backside earlier today okay." Josue's face turns red then a scared smile finds its way onto his lips. "after that she started hunting me down and I barely escaped her grasp as it is, there's no way i was going to put myself in danger by going with you." Josue then turns to his teammates who start laughing. "Shut up" Jill is the first one to speak, talking in between breaths and laughter. "So you saw some of your girlfriends unmentionables." They continued laughing till tears started forming in their eyes. Claire ,being the first to stop laughing, looks at josue. "did you see...?" Josue nods his head before glaring at jill and malcolm who are still laughing. "he was there but seemed busy so I didn't bother him." Once they stop laughing josue gives one look around. "since our sweep is over let's head back." They all nod and begin to head off, but malcolm turns back to josue. "before we go, Josue what was it like seeing Kim's wet, hot ..." Josue punches malcolm off the building. "Don't talk about her like that." josue growls. "well let's go now". Back at their apartment malcolm is shown rubbing his jaw. "Ahhhhhhhhh, My jaw freaking hurts man." Malcolm turns to Jill in the kitchen. "can you heal this please?" Jill smiles at the please then responds. "sure." Jill starts manipulating the light in the kitchen to heal his jaw. "so josue we found this nice studio loft that you will find perfect." Josue turns to face Malcolm and Jill then nods. "well as long as we can afford it go for it." Josue pulls out a black book and starts to read it. Jill gives josue an upset glare. "okay hold on what do you guys even do, me and Jill are the only ones with jobs." Jill now looks sternly at both malcolm and josue. "he might not do anything," Malcolm turns and points to josue "but I do work." Josue looks up from his black book and looks at malcolm. "I don't need to work I cook and keep this team on track, besides I got the TV working." They all turn to the tv as red lights catch their eye. The text on the screen reading 'BREAKING NEWS FROM CITY COUNCIL' can be seen scrolling on the bottom of the screen. Lucas walks up to a podium putting his glasses in his shirt pocket. 'LUCAS WELLS DECLARES LEGAL LAWSUIT ON GRAND CITY' scrolls at the bottom of the screen. "People don't be alarmed this a specific dispute between the city and myself so please don't be scared," lucas twitches as the contacts he's wearing to hide his irises begin itch, "but jobs and money from the great Grand City will be on steady decline until my demands are met, thank you." Lucas walks off the podium with a smile hidden from the booing and angry crowd. "I hope he saw that otherwise i just challenged an immortal for nothing."
