I shrugged. “Yup, you will figure it out.”

I brought Pixie in for a deep victory kiss before getting on my Beast.

“When you boys figure it out, feel free to come find us, we will leave your names at the door. Bye, boys!”

Pixie quickly rattled off our address and we got comfortable on my baby, turning up the music so “Under the Sea” from the Little Mermaid played loudly. The guys groaned, and Pixie and I laughed all the way home.

How long do you think it will be until they get out?Pixie asked. I laughed.Forty minutes top, and another hour until they get to the house. It felt good to knock them down a few pegs.

I say thirty minutes and they will be at the apartment within an hour. I have a feeling they are going to be pissed. I also sent a text to the receptionist to put some clothes that I think will fit them in the spare rooms. They are going to want to change,Pixie said.

Where is Usher when you need him? Because Pix, you got it bad.

She laughed.Maybe I’m just a nice person.

“Well, that went well,”I said as I looked around the damn water walls, keeping us in here.

Dante took a deep breath and just glared at the rest of us while pacing.

“I knew something was up with them, but fuck I did not realize they would fight that way. They kicked our asses, when the fuck was the last time that happened?” I said as I shook my head. I lost count but it seems that Ellie has a lot more powers than normal. Is that even possible?

“Etienne, did that satisfy your curiosity? Because I’ll be honest, that was mind-blowing. I didn’t think getting my ass kicked would ever turn me on, but here we are, the enforcer has a hard-on. We are going to their place, right?” Dimitri said excitedly. I’ve never seen him excited, angry maybe, sullen definitely, but excited? I admit that actually scared me more than him being angry. It was weird.

Etienne rubbed his hands over his face. “I was right for sure, but now I’m not sure if that satisfied my curiosity or piqued it more. I admit they are something else, I don’t even think they used their powers to their full extent either. That is impressive. They were barely winded. So yeah, I say we go over.”

Dante snarled, “How about we try to get the fuck out of here first? How the fuck do you get out of a water fortress?”

I laughed. “I will evaporate the water but it may take a while.”

We pulledinto the underground garage and smiled at the security guard. They were so used to seeing us come in and out at odd hours, and it always felt good to see a familiar face. Most of the staff live in the building with their families, or in our other sky-rise at the far side of the city. I figured if there is space, why make them go through the trouble of looking for apartments somewhere else. They were loyal and they were family.

“Hey Johnny, we are expecting four surly Shadows showing up soon in a black truck. Dante, Dimitri, Etienne, and Luca.” I laughed.

Johnny raised an eyebrow. “I assume by four, they are part of an Elite squad? Oh man, I would love to knock them down a peg or two.”

“That’s what I said!” I exclaimed. He chuckled and returned to his post while we went up the private elevator to our penthouse. It was so cool, if we were inside the apartment and someone was coming up, and we wanted the door to be opened for the guests, we would give a voice command. It helped that the elevator door to our apartment served as a bulletproof, two-way mirror, we could see who was there but they couldn’t see us. Even cooler, it was a smart house, it sensed emotions and picked up on certain trigger words. So of course, I programmed it to play different songs as it picked up on those emotions and words. It was hilarious. Sigh, I loved magick and all, but technology was just so fucking cool. If only the Council would embrace it all.

The doors opened and we were greeted by the system as “We Are The Champions” by Queen started to play. We laughed and went to our shared room and stripped. While we each had our own room, we never used them really other than to store our extra clothes and things. I sighed as I thought about the whole shared room, it needs a better name. Team Room? Group Room? Love Room? Mighty Room? Lots of Licks R Us? We couldn’t figure it out.

“What’s wrong, thinking about naming the room again?” Pixie laughed as we padded toward our bathroom, comfortable in our nudity. We rarely ever wore more than underwear. Anyone who says they like wearing clothes in their home are filthy fucking liars. There is nothing like free boobs and no underwear.

“The room needs a better name, Pix! We should really make a list and take a tally.”

We stepped into our own little oasis. I loved this bathroom, it had warmed floors, a jacuzzi fit for at least ten on one side of the room, and a huge fifteen-by-six glass shower with the rainfall shower effect and side jets. It felt like swimming standing up, and you could adjust the steam and the power of the jets on the side. On one side of the shower, there were warmed benches with cushions under, where we would sit if we just wanted to steam and turn on the aroma therapy, or kneel and make the shower a little more… interesting. The entire room was painted in light greens and purples, and soft music played in the background when you stepped into the shower, from the speakers that we had installed, all waterproof. With triple sinks and two water closets, it was just heaven. Best room in the house, easily.

I sighed deeply in satisfaction as we set up the aromatherapy and turned on the rain fall option and started to lather our hair. The system picked up on my needs and started playing 90s love songs. As Babyface crooned over the radio, we washed and scrubbed the day’s dirt off of us. I sent healing magick to Pixie and she moaned in appreciation as all the bumps, bruises and injuries faded away. I made sure I did a close inspection of my Princess Peach when I got through with washing everything. It sucked getting kicked there, but fuck if it doesn’t sting extra when you have your clit pierced. Pixie and I got ours done the same day, our nipples too and triple tongue rings. Healing was a bitch, unless you had magick, a little healing and we were good to go. We vetoed the bellies so they couldn’t be used against us in a fight. Only difference in our body modifications was that while my back was a huge tink tattoo, hers was a huge female avenging angel with barely discernible features and huge purple wings that wrapped around to her sides and looked extended when she held her arms out. It was some good work overall, our friends were quite talented.

We finished up, brushed our teeth and combed out our hair. We figured the men would be here soon, there was no way they wouldn’t let their curiosities win out. So we threw on some sweats, tight tank tops and fuzzy socks, because who doesn’t love fuzzy fucking socks, and sat down in the living room. Another favorite of mine as the couch could also be warmed.
