   Vale is a beautiful city. Able to compete with Paris, London, and the neon Kingdom of New York. However with it's beauty it still had its dark underground. In a warehouse a man stood looking down at a table with a cigar in his mouth.

    He took it out blowing smoke. He wore a black hat with a round red ring along with a white coat with a red trim. He wore black dress pants and black shoes.

"Damnit. You said those men where some of the best." he yelled into a phone, "Oh really because as far as I can see they got their asses handed to them by a kid.......Yeah I know a super hero was there but before that they where getting beat."

   He groaned and slammed the phone down as two people walked up behind him.

"Tough day Roman?" the girl asked. Her red eyes showed going well with her green hair. She wore a white shirt with the sleeves and chest cut showing a green clothes covering her while she had brown boots and white pants.

"I think his little plan went to hell like everything else he does." the boy with silver and brown eye said. He wore a gray jacket with black stripes and black pants. His silver shoes with revolvers on them.

"Great if it isn't Mercury and Emerald. My favorite jackass's. Where's Cinder?" Roman asked.

Above them was a woman dressed in a red dress with orange flames in it. Her long sleeves went down to her wrist and when she walked her heels clicked against the floor and the jingle of diamonds could be heard. She had short black hair with some hair covering the right side if her face.

"What happened Roman. You seem....nervous." she said.

"Well some of the men I hired....well where unable to take care of the job I hired them for." Roman replied.

"Again." Mercury whispered to Emerald to laugh.

He turned around mad looking at them, "Shut it kiddies! Do you think you could collect as much dust as i can."

"We have enough dust. We need to start our plans." Cinder said as she walked over to the table pointing to the map, "Plan our attacks."

"I may be able to help with that!" said a shadowy figure.

Back with Jake

  Love was floating above Jake in holographic form with a magazine in hand reading it. "One hundred and one.....one hundred and two......." she said in an unenthusiastic tone.

As she counted Jake went down close to the ground pushing back off it again as he went down again.

"I don't know why you have me do this. You can count on your own. One hundred and twenty." she said looking at him.

"Because.....with you counting i can.....have some sorta of accountability....."he said each time doing a push up.

"You are so weird." Love said laughing disappearing appearing right in front of his face.

"Your one to talk." he said as he lifted his legs above the ground starting to an upside down push up.

"I am but i appreciate weirdness. That's why we have a good friendship." she said laying in mid air in her holographic form.

Jake smiled putting his feet on the ground standing up straight. He walked over to the bed picking up a towel wiping the sweat of his face. He walked into the restroom turning on the shower as his clothes left his body as he got in the shower. Love stayed outside of the shower.

"So you really seem happy around that Ruby girl!" Love yelled in.

"What does it matter to you?" he replied.
