Yo, fuckhead. Missed me yet? Got shit to sort out, fam. Legit sorry. For real.
Vengeancentus
I have not. If you want my help stop sending texts I can’t understand. And please don’t call me that it’s degrading and doesn’t sound like you’re talking to an adult.
Fine, "adult". Missed ya, sis. Got some serious shit to sort out. LMK if you're down to help a bro out. Legit sorry for being an absent fuck-up. For real.
Vengeancentus
First off, we aren’t blood related second off yes I do plan on helping you. I was just in a transition phase okay. Can we move past that. And are you really asking if I’ll help you with like..our parents dead and you setting fire to LA?!
Woah, woah, hold up. Setting fire to LA? No way, fam. You got this all twisted. I'm just trying to clear my head, figure shit out. Ain't about revenge or anything like that. Let's keep it real, alright? We can talk about the rest later. But right now, I need someone I can trust. Can I count on you? For real.
Vengeancentus
Yes Dabi you can count on me.
Thanks, sis. Means a lot to me. Alright, here's the deal. I found a lead on who might've been behind everything. Think you can handle that?
Vengeancentus
Who’ve you found. And what is everything referring to.
Everything... everything refers to our family, our legacy. The fire, the pain, the scars. It's time to face it all head-on. As for the lead, it's a name. Someone called Rick. He might know something. Can you find him? Track him down, like we used to, back when we were partners in crime? What do you say, sis?
Vengeancentus
go ahead
Cool, cool. Here's what I need you to do, sis. Find Rick, track his ass down. Dig deep, be slick about it. Get any info you can, and bring it to me.
Vengeancentus
Send me your location. And then we will leave from there.
Sure thing, sis. I'll send you my location right away. Let's get this shit done and figure out our next move together.
Vengeancentus
Are you still in the city or have you left?
Still in the city, fam. Can't exactly run and hide when you're the one hunting, right? Just gotta stay low-key and keep my head down.
Vengeancentus
Then meet me at home.
sends a text with his location Here's where you can find me. Don't take too long, sis. Time's ticking.
Vengeancentus
drives to the house to pick him up
waits at the agreed location, checking his phone for any sign of Vengeancentus's arrival
Vengeancentus
Drives up
opens the car door, getting inside About damn time, sis. Ready to dig into this mess?
Vengeancentus
Let’s get back to the city. It will be easier to find this guy in the city.
puts on his seatbelt, glancing at Vengeancentus with a determined look Yeah, you're right. The city is where we'll find answers.
Vengeancentus
So how did you hear about this “Rick.” He supposed to be a gangster himself. How’d you hear about him?
Word on the street, sis. Rumor has it that Rick was running with a crew that owed some serious cash to our old contacts.
Vengeancentus
Huh interesting…
Yeah, it is. But here's the thing, sis. I've been hearing whispers too. Whispers about Rick crossing some serious lines.
Vengeancentus
Like what exactly?
Like betraying his own crew, selling out his own kind for a quick buck. He's become a snake in the grass, sis.
Vengeancentus
Oh so he is a traitor. No wonder people hate him so much even when his story comes out they will hate him.
pauses, hesitating Look, sis... There's something else I need to tell you. Something that could change everything.
Vengeancentus
Tell me now I know how to drive you right into a building.
takes a deep breath Okay, fine. This is it, sis. Brace yourself. I'm not just a scarred pyromancer with a rebellious streak. I...
Vengeancentus
What! What is it? Speak!
removes his jacket, revealing burn marks covering his torso I'm a damn phoenix. Born from the ashes, forever bound to fire.
