"It seems that it has noticed your presence. Am I right?" He continues watching the chaos that is going inside the room since the golden staff decorated sapphires and rubies start to elevate a little.

I smirk, "Correct. You're more intelligent than you lead on Mr. Speedwagon." I begin to rock on heels back and forth. I notice that there are security cameras in every corner – meaning there are no blind spots.

"Please, just Speedwagon." I stop what I was doing and look at him, nodding in agreement. "Then you must call me Athena." I smile and glance back at the room holding my staff as he speaks back to me, "It'd be my pleasure."

Addressing him once more, "If you don't mind me asking, how...did you acquire this place?" I turn my body so that I can face him as I lean on the glass slightly. "Well, I struck black gold, thus creating my enormous wealth."

"Ahh...Oil."

"Yes." Sticking his hands in his dress pants pockets. I stand back up and look at him "Do you wish to see them in- "

"What is she doing here?" Both of us turning to the voice that interrupt me, I couldn't help but frown realizing who it was – Jotaro Kujo, the delinquent. I don't see what the girls see in him, besides his looks, other then that he is a complete jerk. I can't stand him at all even though I never truly met him, and I want to keep it that way. I hate everything about him.

"Hey Athena!" To his left is the upbeat Josuke, whom isn't half bad, easily noticeable by his hairstyle, nearly the same height as Kujo. He is quite handsome, helpful, and attentive in my opinion, causing me to have a genuine smile towards him.

"How interesting to see y'all guys here." I notice Jonathan to right of Jotaro. "Hello Jonathan."

He blushes lightly, shifting his eyesight around, "H-Hi Athena, how are you?" I couldn't help but chuckle softly at his state.

"You know each other?" Speedwagon inserts as he looks at me then back at the trio in front of us. "Yes. We know each other back in Japan. School. Transferred there from Texas." I turn towards him then back to Jonathan.

"Oh, no wonder you have a Texan accent." Speedwagon simply stated in realization. "Doesn't explain why she is here." Jotaro stated crudely.

"I see you're rude as always Kujo." I bluntly stated while crossing my arms and rolling my eyes. "She's right, that's no way to treat a lady, Jotaro." Speedwagon scolds him lightly causing me to smile at the older gentleman.

"Tch." Jotaro rolled his eyes.

Jonathan speaks up suddenly, "Well, if I may ask, what are you doing here Athena?"

"I am here to collect my belongings."

"Which are?" Josuke perked up in interest. I point toward the room where they are contained in, "The staffs that are currently in the room", I face Speedwagon momentarily, "Back to what I was saying, do you desire to see them in action?"

He smiles brightly with his eye glimmering in excitement and curiosity, "It would be a pleasure."

"Very gentleman-like, now if you'll please excuse the men inside." I smile gently, mentally fangirling in my head at his chivalry persona, desiring that they were more men like him in the world.

He nods and goes inside, telling them to leave the room so that I may go in and do a little presentation of how they work. I quickly pull out my phone and send a text to my girls, 'I found them, Come.' With a matter of second, a flash of bright light expands throughout the hallway causing everyone to cover their eyes. As the light diminishes, they see that two other girls have joined the party, looking into the room through the glass, excitedly.

"It's good to be back home!! Yo! We gotta go back to the Traders Village!" Themis says while jumping a little on her toes and clapping lightly.

Yara rolls her eyes, "I see why not. We can enjoy our time here."

I light up a little, "I know, I miss this place too. Wait – We can go to..."

The trio of girls look at each other while smile, saying in unison "WHATABURGER!!!", which causes them to laugh, facing once more the glass.

"I'm down for that shit." Yara exclaims excitedly while gently elbowing me.

"Anyway, back to business...the staff." I point to the room.

Themis cheerful attitude turns into a serious one, "Right...I am sure I already know what this means if they are here..."

Yara exhales heavily, "Ah, the old "wipe out the world" ploy..."

"I would have liked to enjoy life a little more." I bite my lip and look at the other two. "Yeah really." Themis scoffs walking to my right side.

"Ready?" I look at both for confirmation.

"Ready!" Themis says with a hopeful smile.

Yara sighs but straightens up, "It's now or never."

Walking to Speedwagon, Jonathan whispers to his ear, "What are they doing?"

"They're the owners of those staff." Speedwagon whispers back while watching the trio of girls' spring into action. "They are going to give us a little demonstration, I think?"

"That's so cool!" Josuke whispers loudly yet excitedly causing both, Speedwagon and Jonathan to jump up a little. "Sorry..." He apologizes for scaring them.
