muttered remotely, stopping in front of the guys, her figure covered by the shadow.
    Jane just sighed, assessing the guys’ tense expressions as she stood beside her sister.
    “Are you going to kill us now?” ‘Mister Curiosity’ asked carefully.
    “No,” Jane answered.
    He looked younger than his friend, though she couldn’t pin down exactly why. Maybe it was because of his features, fine and elegant. He had dark-brown eyes, gazing at them with anxious interest, and thick black eyelashes cast small shadows around them. His nose was thin and straight, his accurately shaped jaw shaved perfectly clean. There was a touch of polish on his appearance, something that gave Jane a feeling that this wasn’t an average citizen before her. His clothes, looking ordinary from the distance, were expensive, his haircut fresh and well-suited, his cologne subtle but exquisite.
    The other one wasn’t anything like the first. From his clothes to his posture, everything was casual about him. His features were rough and sharply-defined, his jaw and cheekbones square. Alerted green eyes, framed with long eyelashes, watched the sisters carefully, like a cat’s. He had brown hair reaching almost to his thick sloping shoulders, pushed back from his strained face in tangled, messy curls. But when his friend looked obviously scared and nervous, he just seemed cautious, waiting for what would happen next with alarm.
    The brown eyes flicked to the big sister as she entered a pool of light, and ‘Mister Curiosity’ threw up his hand, pointing at Pain.
    “Hey, I know you!” he exclaimed.
    “No, you don’t,” she snapped arrogantly and took off like a tornado, snatching his collar with her hand abruptly and making him cry out in surprise. She carried him higher and higher as he twitched and screamed in her grip. Soon they vanished in the darkness, and his friend gasped, turning his astonished look back to Jane.
    She sighed and shook her head, holding her gloved hand out for him.
    “It’s okay. We have to take you with us, and if you don’t want to be dragged like that, just give me your hand,” she said.
    For a minute he just stood there with distrust and incredulity written all over his face. He measured her with his eyes, once, twice, shaking his head, as if not agreeing with his own thoughts. At last, he reached out hesitantly, and Jane grasped his palm. Her other hand closed around his belt, and then she darted upward, carrying him with her. They rose high over the sparkling buildings, and soon they were rushing after the first pair.

    They landed on the roof of their building. There were two guards at the corners, but they only followed the sisters with their looks, remaining still like statues. From the corner of her eye, Jane saw her sister hit the roof hard and drop the poor guy roughly. Her jacket was torn at the shoulder, and blood was still oozing from under it.
    “Don’t you want to take care of that, or you intend to come to Peter like this?” Jane asked, touching her own shoulder absently.
    “Don’t care. He should see what happens when he sends me patrolling,” Pain retorted.
    Behind them, ‘Mister Curiosity’ got up from the ground with a groan, brushing off his clothes. The flight hadn’t gone without consequences for him: he looked pale, his hands were trembling, and his face was wide-eyed with shock. Muttering something incoherent, he kept straightening his clothes with his back to the others.
    “Dave, you alright?” his friend asked, tired of waiting. He shot Pain a sharp glance, at the same time looking as if everything inside him was warring with what he had just experienced.
    Dave snorted, making Jane turn around and look at him.
    “No-o-o,” he drawled, putting as much dark sarcasm into one single word as possible. “I’m not alright! How can I be alright after being dragged across the city like a puppy and then dropped on a roof by some ff- ” he broke off, shooting a glare to the
