Ordinarily, Nik would have cuddled with his fuck buddy just to have some rest and peace. But his evening was booked by Ray since Nik wanted to exchange something once again. So, after sending a note to Brian that he would be leaving early, Nik left the bar. Brian's reply came soon enough as he didn't mind. It was just nice to hang out with each other from time to time considering that they had the same enemies and goals but they didn't get overly chummy.

Except for the fact that Ray demanded Nik's anal virginity during his first meeting and even hinted that all the three fiends should have a sausage fest threesome in celebration of their future journeys.

But as they say, let bygones be bygones.

Making his way towards Ray's apartment under the evening glow while chatting and warming up to any and every individual that came up to him whether it was for directions or phone number, Nik finally buzzed on the apartment's entrance until he heard Mj's voice.

”Yea?”

”Mj? It's me, Nik. I had something to discuss with Ray.”

”Ah— It's Nik! Hurry up and wrap her Yar! We—”

”I got it, I got it! But is this really necessary?!”

Ray's and Yar's voice echoed as Mj's deep sigh echoed.

”It's getting weird up here Nik... sure, I don't suppose it can get any weirder. I'll buzz you in.”

With that, Nik entered the building and walked up to the apartment's door shared by Mj and Ray.

*Knock* *Knock*

Nik's knocks were answered instantly as a frustrated redhead opened the door. Her green eyes observing Nik for a moment before smiling, ”Hey, I heard that you are transferring out from Midtown high. Imagine that, this happens when I return,” the chill in her tone betraying her kind smile and sincere stare.

”So this is it, huh,” Nik sighed with a sad smile, ”No— Hi, Nik. How's it hanging?. No hugs, no nothing. Straight up arguing once again?”

Blinking, Mj realized her mistake as she took a step back, ”Ah, my apologies. I forgot that this one is an imported, next-gen, supremely better tiger that deserves awe of masses,” she replied with a playful stretch of her lips, ”So, Tiger? Was that good enough for you?”

”It lacked a bit drama,” Nik pursued with a smile and as he gazed over Mj, he couldn't help but let his stare last a little longer. Unaffected by his gaze, Mj let her observe him. She currently wore light red hotpants since the last person she was afraid of going at it sexually was Ray and his new 'friend' Yar. Meanwhile, a pale pink tank top covered her torso, revealing a bit of her midriff. Despite tying her hair into a pony, locks still framed the side of her face as she finally smiled once she counted the seconds of being checked out surpassing 4.

”Ehm,” she coughed with a glare but Nik only smirked in return.

”You were saying that things are getting a bit weird in there?” Nik inquired. He needed to have proper information before entering the base of the ass-stealing demon.

”About that...” Mj hesitated while turning towards the interior of her apartment, ”I don't know. After Ray brought his friend, she... they both, actually, would start laughing like maniacs. They have kept the door locked after that other pretty woman visited. Even she was strange, wearing a helmet with a pair of Golden horn,” Mj furrowed while Nik's eyelids jumped in surprise.

Loki and Ray?

Well... if Nik let his imagination run wild, he may bust a vessel of his nostrils.

”I'll... talk with him. And what about you? Feeling alright after losing all that power?”

He didn't get much chance to inquire about her, then again, it hasn't been too long since Mj returned.

”It's fine. I still remember how to use weapons, just not as great as before,” Mj shrugged, ”It's not like I have to worry about the Hand, right?” She looked towards Nik with a gaze full of question. After all, he had volunteered to protect her family from the agents and by now, she didn't find any complications with that.

”Nah, no need to worry about them,” Nik smirked, ”Ray's probably going to get them good. He's like a leech that way.”

As Mj led Nik into the apartment, he furrowed slightly. He smelled something... strange. 'That's not how a normal man smells...' Nik hated himself that he even knew how any man smelled but what else could he do? He wasn't in a world only populated by women and being the only 'unlucky' man... since they couldn't possibly hope to dry him out, ever.

”He's already in, hush now!” Ray's slightly stern voice echoed as the door to his room creaked open, only revealing sweetly smiling Ray leaning against the door and eyeing Nik from down to up.

”You're on time!” he smiled.

”Really? You sound a bit hurried. I can wait if you want,” Nik shrugged as Ray thought for a moment and looked behind.

”Just make him wait 5 more minutes!” Yar's voice echoed.

Gazing at Nik, Ray nodded, ”I'll return in five minutes.”

”I believe you,” Nik smiled mockingly.

As Ray closed the door slowly and eerily, Mj spoke up, ”See? Something is wrong with him. I read a little about hormonal changes once a person tries to shift their gender... could it be that?” She mused with knitted brows as Nik couldn't help but wish that was the issue. But from what he knew, Ray was perfectly comfortable with his body and choices, so the last thing he would want is a cooch under his succu-tool.

'Although... I am now perfectly capable of changing genders with just my ability... seriously, how versatile can [Body Manipulator: S-] get?' Nik questioned.

Looking around, Nik pointed at the couch, ”Can I... take a seat?”

”Huh? Yea, sure,” Mj nodded absentmindedly, her thoughts still focused around Ray.

”Do you know anything about Ray's friend? That, Yar? And what kind of name is that?” Mj inquired as she sat close to Nik, not minding the distance by the slightest. Her elbow resting on the spine of the couch while she crossed her legs on the seat.

”Yes, I know about Yar. She's Ray's closest confidant and a good friend, in a way. Actually, a better friend than Ray,” even Nik sounded a little surprised. If not for their similarity in the quality of bloodline, they would have definitely hooked up more. It was fun, after all.

'Oh, they did evolve, so the Bloodline is no longer of the same level. Huh, we really can get a room for ourselves... might as well talk about that with Yar, today too,' Nik's gaze brightening but it did nothing to ease Mj's worries.

”Hey, earth to Nik, you there?” She pouted, ”Still thinking about Anna?”

”No, her mom,” Nik replied casually, silencing Mj for a few moments as she looked at Nik with a slightly darkened gaze.

”W-whatever,” she looked away. Ray had been quite clear at how lecherous Nik was and by now, Mj had no doubt about Nik having an insidious side to him that was more dangerous in a way that no sword could compare.

”So, what do you think Ray has in there?” Nik looked towards Mj curiously.

”I don't know really. When Ray last appeared with that other girl, he did tag along with another man. A bespectacled one but... I didn't stay for long.”

”Oh?” Nik looked surprised.

”Yeah, that guy looked a little pale but there was something—”
