Chapter 42 - Chapter 42

With a raised brow, Dante snorted at the smug look Chun Li was giving him even as he reached out and got the door for her. She rolled her eyes and got out along with the rest, but it was Rumi who was the center of attention.

"Hey, what the hell? I thought you were going to drive up the building and do a cool backflip; let me land and be all badass and shit." Rumi raved with a mad smile on her face and hands on her hips.

Chun Li snorted at that, then waved her hand at the flying jeep and had it pulled into the dimensional space built into her bracelets. "I think you showed off enough for one night." Chun Li replied with a smirk.

"So does that mean I should also do something to show off my skills?" Kuvira asked with cool tones, a stoic look, and a raised eyebrow.

Rumi deflated as if someone pushed a pin into an air balloon and popped all of her excitement. "Fine, let's just go in and dance."

Danta gave his dragon hide leather trench coat a badass fwap, "Now, that's something I can get behind."

"Might I recommend the VIP section?" Someone asked from behind Dante and he turned around, hand never twitching towards his hidden guns at all.

Dante placed a hand on his chest, "Ohh, the VIP just for little ole me?"

The bouncer that was looking him over snorted, "Faultline would like to converse with such colorful characters like yourselves."

Rumi was already there by the bouncer, and Dante could see the full body twitch as the man reacted to her speed. The look on his face clearly showed that the bouncer didn't know if she teleported or was just that fast.

"Rumi, please allow the man some breathing room," Kuvira stated easily as she gave Rumi a sharp tug on the back of her jacket. They walked into the club and Dante had to give it to Faultline, she had put together a pretty good place.

The music went bump bump, and Dante went along with the beat even as they were directed to a select section of the club. His head wasn't on a swivel, but he was more than aware of his placement to the exits along with the massive bar off towards the right of the club. Towards the front of the club on a raised platform was the DJ and off towards the left in marked-off sections was a VIP lounge area along with stairs going up in a spiral.

The bouncer led them to the VIP and then offered a hand wave towards the spiral staircase. Chun Li and Kuvira took the stairs, Dante decided he wanted the scenic route. With a light hop, he was going over the railing with a light touch of a finger, and when he landed. Dante found Rumi at his side because of course she was.

Those on the second-floor level acted as if they weren't spooked, and Dante shot the lady in the metal mask a smirk as he leaned up against the second-floor railing. Standing beside the lady with the metal mask were two others who were clearly case53's as they were called.

A giant of a man with clear skin and a crust formation on his back while the other was a tall lanky fellow with digitigrade feet, a long lizard tail, and orange skin. There was a clearing of throat and the lady in the metal mask turned around to give Chun Li a look, the other two did the same thing, but the guy with the clear skin and the thing on his back which made him look like a snail turned back around to keep his attention on Dante and Rumi.

Okay, Dante had to give him points for that, it was good to know that Faultline had someone on payroll that was smarter than the average bear. Smirking at them, Dante easily put up a hand to summon the waitress while Faultline directed the others towards a select table.

The ladies could protect themselves, but that doesn't mean he would act like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Enjoying the music, Dante chilled against the railing when the clear-skinned fellow walked over, his glance rolled right over him.

Dante could feel this surprise the other man standing a few feet away, but he ignored that as his scotch had arrived. One hand took his drink while the other dropped a hundred on the waiter's tray.

"So where are you…."
