Azulius stood in silence as he watched his teammate and enemy walk down the road. It was almost a normal scene, if not for the half-dozen red dots on Vale's back, daring her to try anything funny. After another long moment, the laser sights were turned off, and the manor gates closed.

"Glad that's over," Sienna spoke as the party walked back towards the manor. "That girl's claws were surprisingly durable.  I might need a new suit."

"I still say we let her off easy," Talcum stretched his arms behind his head. "Especially since she didn't even seem sorry for breaking in.  Ain't mercy supposed to be for the penitent, or am I mis-remembering Sunday School again?"

"I think the Don was bein' merciful for the other girl's sake," Mary added. "Friends don't kill friends in front of other friends, or something like that."

The magician kept quiet, feeling the desert air blow down the hill. Was he ever going to have a normal relationship with his teammates? Between rescuing Shani the first night they met, and this shocking reveal with Laura/Daphne, the closest thing to normal he had was his lack of communication with Tuckyr.

"Making plans already, son?" Sienna elbowed him, shaking him out of his focus.

"Just thinking about what Laura said about her 'family dynamics'.  Can you have our people do some digging, Dad?  If Mr. Cedric Evergreen tries double-crossing Daphne like she talked about, I want enough blackmail to bury this guy twice over.  Maybe more."

"Seems rather excessive to me, but I would expect nothing less from you.  I'll see what we can do."

"She's like family, Dad.  And you know how we treat people who mess with the family."

(Anything else?  Otherwise, I think we're done here.)
