*Third Person POV*
"Reports have come in that General Ironwood of Atlas Military was assassinated yesterday afternoon," The TV said over the general buzz of the cafe, "We have security camera footage of the attack from a building across the street."
The camera changed to show the video of the bullet flying through the window, and then Ironwood falling to the street below. It then cut to a camera from the street, a hand held camera that was in the crowd somewhere.
"Wait," Ophis said, looking at the footage, "Damn it. They're already on his trail."
"What is it, Ophis?" Raynare asked.
"Rias," Ophis pointed at the screen, "She was in Atlas. She knows something."
At that point, Yang walked up with a bunch of cups on a tray. She sat down next to them, and they began to drink their drinks, watching the TV.
"The assassination is supposedly one in a string of murders and crimes committed by a group called the Shadows," The reporter said, "No one has ever seen this group or its members, and they have been suspected to be working with the group behind the fall of Beacon Academy. In other news, General Copperpine is going to be taking over for the late Ironwood, and will be giving a speech later this afternoon."
The girls turned their attention away from the TV, as a group of guys came up and began to flirt.
"Well hello ladies," The leader said, leaning on the table, "How are you all today?"
"Fine," Raynare growled, "Now leave."
"Hey, hey," Another guy said, laying an arm over her shoulders, "Calm down, beautiful."
"Yeah," A guy said, sitting next to Ophis, "We're just looking for a good time."
As the rest of the group sat down, the girls turned their eyes to Ophis, who was technically in charge. As if giving permission, Ophis began to slowly nod.
Ravel prepared to launch some flames and Raynare began to think of the worst ways she could kill this group of men. Yang prepared her gauntlets and Ophis put down her drink slowly.
"Hey, leave the girls alone."
All eyes were turned to the man with a fedora and trench coat, who had his hand on the leader's shoulder. The leader stood up and revealed himself to be shorter than the man by a few inches.
"Beat it, jackass," The leader said, "We're all good here, right ladies?"
The large man turned to the girls, who gave him a look back. He then turned to Ophis, who was sitting calmly with her feet swinging slowly.
"Miss Ophis, I have something for you," He said, "Would you all follow me?"
Before the girls could stand up, the guy sitting next to Ophis put his hand over her, making sure she couldn't move.
"Your not going anywhere," He said, "Not without me."
At that point, everyone hit their limits. Threatening their queen set everyone off, and weapons were drawn and pointed around the room.
Stopping them, Ophis held up a hand.
Everyone stopped and waited, as silence permeated the cafe.
Then Ophis raised her head high, making sure her hair was clear of her face...
And bit down hard on the man's arm.
She then grabbed the back of his neck and slammed him down on the table, causing the table to crack. She kicked him one more time, making sure he was knocked out cold.
"Now," She said, smoothing her dress, "You had something for me?"
"Please," The large man said, "Follow me outside."
The girls and large man walked outside, leaving the group to pick up their fallen friend. They all stood outside, as the man began to speak.
"First, introductions," He said, "I am the one who gave Rias Gremory the information on Ironwood's murder."
"Why'd you tell them and not us?" Yang asked.
"Because they paid," He growled, "And my employer thought they'd find your Master faster."
"Whatever," Raynare said, "Just tell us where Y/n is."
"There's something else you'll have to do first," He said, "Miss Neo and Mister Torchwick have been locked down in Atlas, and the military is slowly closing in. I recommend you go save them."
He handed an envelope to Ophis, and turned to leave. She spoke up and he stopped in his track.
"Where's Master?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out," The man said, "The bastard's good at disappearing into thin air."
Ophis smirked, "Yeah, but he always... reappears when he's needed most."
