Tainted Blood, Tainted Soul: Chapter Twenty-four - Prey for the Trap

A/N: Happy Sunday, everyone! I apologize for the brevity of this chapter; it’s only short by about a page, but my faithful laptop finally gave up the ghost this week and although I write on my desktop computer, I lost some time for writing thanks to dealing with that. I think it still turned out well, though. Enjoy!

I do not own FMA.

Chapter Twenty-four - Prey for the Trap

PLAZA, INHABITED ZONE, JADAD

1033 HOURS, APRIL 24TH

His Lieutenant was a fully-fledged, blood-drinking vampire currently holed up with one of his oldest enemies and, while not particularly liking him, still helping said enemy (also a vampire, it must be noted) to perpetuate attacks on the civilians of a slowly recovering formerly oppressed nation for their blood, for the aforementioned drinking.

And Roy was sitting under an open-side pavilion, cutting squares of cloth and lengths of cord for anti-vampire protection charms.

Beside him, sitting comfortably cross-legged and surrounded by bowls of charm ingredients, Scar's Master worked in companionable silence. The cloth squares went to him, and he filled them with a palmful of holy sand, a rune of protection wrought in silver wire, and three small garlic flowers. The lengths of cord went to Miles, who also took the filled clothes squares, which he formed into pouches and tied securely shut. At a table a few feet away, Scar was busy distributing the finished charms to a curious public.

"What is he telling them?" Roy asked, keeping his voice low in case anyone in earshot spoke Amestrian.

The Master didn't look up, but smiled. "He does not tell the truth, but he does not lie. The people are told that they are religious charms to bring them Ishvala's divine protection." Reaching out, he plucked a rune from a bowl. "Which, in essence, is exactly true."

Roy nodded in understanding. "He's just not telling them what they need the protection from. Anyone who didn't believe would call us crazy and those that did could start a panic."

Nodding in return, the Master set aside the completed mixture. "And those that don't accept the charm will have to rely, however unknowingly, on the increased night patrols we'll be sending out." He picked up the next square, holding it cupped in one palm while adding ingredients with his free hand. Each patroller will have several spare charms on their person, and be a fully trained warrior priest."

Roy's stomach twisted nervously. Riza's skills in hand-to-hand combat were good by Amestrian military standards… but she had never been fully pitted against someone with Scar's training. Her new strength and speed might serve her well… but would it be enough to keep her from being seriously hurt?

"I can at least vouch that the charms work," he said, trying to swallow the tightness in throat he was beginning to associate with worry. "She was staying a good distance away when we ran into her the other night. He hesitated, then added, "And it may have given us a way to help the real Hawkeye get control of herself."

Miles head snapped up, the partially-tied charm in his hands forgotten. The Master's reaction was more subdued, though he evidenced no less interest. "Oh? And how do you think it could help that way?"

Reaching down, Roy plucked at his own charm, letting it fall back against his chest. "Because when I pressed this against her chest, I got two minutes with the Lieutenant Hawkeye I know."

Frowning, Miles started in on the charm in his hand again, but now he glanced up periodically to continue the conversation. "So the charm doesn't just repel the vampires. If it gets close enough to the Lieutenant, it negates the false personality altogether." He raised an eyebrow. "Am I right in thinking you have an idea to use that to your advantage?"

He shrugged, passing another three squares to the Master. "You would be very right. I mean, it's already been inadvertently field-tested. The trick would be to get the charm actually around her neck. Last night, all I did was hold it to her for maybe… ten seconds? And all that bought me was less than two vampire-free minutes."

"I don't mean to discourage your plan," the Master said, his tone the low and gentle cadence of the teacher he was, "but as long as we're exploring the ins and outs of a possible plan…. How long do you think wearing a charm will suppress the vampire personality?"

"I don't know," Roy admitted. "I would think that it would keep it suppressed indefinitely… but you're right. For all we know, the vampire could develop a tolerance through prolonged exposure, or maybe it was all an elaborate ploy and it didn't actually work at all…." He shook his head in resignation. "But we have to try something, and as far as I know, we don't have any other plan in the works."

The Master was watching as Roy spoke, his expression unreadable, but quietly contemplative. He paused a moment when Roy had finished, then said, "I agree, but there are still doubts in my mind. Have you considered what may happen if the charm does not affect her as you expect?"

"What do you mean?"

"We know how she reacts to a brief exposure, assuming, as you said, that it was a real reaction," the Master pointed out. "Ten seconds, you said. And so far, we've spoken about using it against her with an effect that is beneficial… but consider the possible long-term adverse effects." He set aside the latest square of charm ingredients, ticking of points on his fingers. "Suppose, after a while, holding back the vampire persona begins to cause her pain, or alter her mental state, or makes her ill. What then?"

Roy was quite a moment, cutting new squares and lengths of cord, thinking through the new information and trying to amalgamate it with his fledgling plan…. Trying to find a way to get back that wouldn't involve hurting her any more than she already was. "And if she were to come into skin contact with the silver rune in the pouch, or any of its contents, that could hurt too," he said finally. "It would burn her like the sand did."

Miles had been quietly following the exchange the whole time, and now he broke in. "Would it help determine what to do if we could ask the Lieutenant? Not this vampire alter ego of hers, but the genuine Riza Hawkeye?"

One eyebrow lifted in surprise, Roy looked toward the northern Major. "Since its her body that has to go through wearing the charm, if we decide to go that route, then I'd say it's only fair she get a chance to voice her opinion." His look turned doubtful. "Though I'm not sure how we'll get to ask. I don't think she'll be letting anyone close enough to hit her with a charm, and it might not last long enough if we did."

A small, sly smile tugged at Miles' lips. "That would be a part of overall plan… But the first step is getting the vampire cornered in one place that she can't escape from, and were her new friend can't get to her either. Once she's there, we'll have all the time in the world to find a way to talk to the Lieutenant and form a real plan."

A thrill of anticipation wriggled pleasantly in Roy's chest, along with the skip in his pulse and the momentary hitch in his breath. He grinned back at the other man; Miles had the beginnings of a truly sneaky plan… and maybe that was just what they needed. "Well, don't just keep it to yourself. What do you have in mind?"

"It's going to take some time to set up, so we'd best start as soon as we're done here today. But to start with, we're going to need a place that's out of the way while not being too far from the settled areas…."

MARKETPLACE, UNINHABITED ZONE, JADAD

2043 HOURS, APRIL 24TH

It had been full dark for nearly two hours before Roy, watching from the shadows of an alley, finally saw her emerge from the abandoned inn. She paused on the street, looking for all the world like a tourist waiting for a taxi… or a travelling companion.

"No sign of the other one," he murmured a moment later, when Riza remained alone, idly stretching with her gaze on the stars. Her movements were lithe, catlike… full of deadly grace. Self-consciously, he tugged the hood of his borrowed dark cloak further around his face."Either he's already left, or else he doesn't plan on hunting tonight."

"The Lieutenant's habits suggest that it isn't absolutely necessary that they feed every night," Scar agreed from his place crouched behind a dust-covered crate. "But given his habits in the west and the fact that he just crossed a desert with limited supplies of blood, I would think he would — ah. There."

If Riza hadn't turned to look into the shadows of the hallway behind her, Roy might not have seen the figure standing there. The vampire wore a dark suit, his hands in his pockets, and his stance — what Roy could discern in the darkness — one of laid-back insolence. The only parts of him that stood out were his white shirt and the pale oval of his face.

Roy leaned forward, squinting slightly as though the action could somehow help him see better. "Does that look like Kimblee to either of you? I can see it in the posture, and he's certainly the right building, but…."

"If he were wearing that ridiculous white suit, I'd be more sure," Miles said. Like Roy, he was swathed in a dark cloak, standing close against the wall in its deepest shadows. "But even though I can't make his feature out, it definitely does look like him."

"It is Kimblee," Scar said darkly, red eyes fixed on the man in the shadows partway around the plaza. "The vampire has a very faint aura about him, but what there is has traces of the man he used be… and I remember that." He shifted slightly, though whether in anger or anticipation, Roy didn't know. "He and I have unfinished business."

"So do I," Miles muttered.

Roy stared across the plaza, watching the two figures, one in white and the other in black, as Kimblee emerged into the was a good amount of space between them; they didn't even appear to be holding a conversation… but the thought still nagged at him of what the thing in Riza's body had said after his rejection of her….

"…Perhaps it would be a fitting punishment for turning me down. Maybe I will let him have a little fun."

It had been over twelve hours since that little insinuation. They had spent the daylight hours sequestered in darkness, sleeping through the sun's travel across the sky. Alone? In each other's company? It almost didn't matter, since it was plenty of time for them to have — no. He clamped down firmly on the thought before he could complete it, at the same time as he suppressed a shudder from going down his spine. There was, he hoped, still too much hatred and distrust left from the real Riza for this new Riza to do… that.

"I think we can case a broader net than just the three of us as Kimblee's enemies," he murmured at last. "At this point, there isn't anyone within a day's travel that wouldn't have some kind of bone to pick with him, whether personally, or for his role in the war in general." His lip twisted in a grim smile. "We might be farther ahead to paint him as Public Enemy Number One."

"Gladly," Miles answered. "Though is still leaves us with the problem of how to bring him down."

Scar hadn't moved, his gaze still on the pair of vampires. The one in Riza's body had moved to sit on a crate beside a long-abandoned vendor's stall, while Kimble was still standing with his hands in his pockets, head tilted back to survey the stars. "I believe we should keep to the original plan, though it would be better to get her alone before we try to put it in motion."

"Here's hoping she hates him enough to avoid going hunting with him," Miles commented. "If we don't get lucky and she doesn't go off on her own…."

"She will," Roy said firmly. "Even if he is her sire, she made ti clear to me that she's only sticking around him out of mutual interest in their own survival as vampires." He shrugged, the motion uneasy. "Necessity, not shared ideals. I'm sure, if she had any other choice —"

Scar held up a hand for silence, then pointed one finger across the marketplace. Words were clearly finally being exchanged between the two vampires, though sound had no hope of carrying this far. Kimblee's stance hadn't changed at all, his shoulder relaxed as he stood directly in front of her crate perch. Riza sat with perfect, straight-backed prim posture, her dangling feet crossed at the ankle and her hands folded in her lap. There was some kind of back-and-forth that lasted only half a minute —

And Roy's stomach clenched as Kimblee took a step forward to peck her gently on the cheek before turning and striding off into the night.

All three men were quiet a moment longer, watching her watch him leave with a neutral expression in those amethyst eyes. Finally, with deliberate slowness, she scrubbed her sleeve across her cheek, wiping away any trace of this kiss. Out of the corner of his eye, Roy was aware of Scar's gaze turning briefly in his direction — to gauge his reaction, no doubt — but kept his eyes on Riza.

It's not her, he reminded himself. It's her body, but it's not her mind. Your Riza isn't in charge, so it's not her fault…. But all the rationalizing in the world couldn't stop the jealousy from bubbling, hot and acidic, in his stomach.

After what seemed like ages, though it was only a few minutes, Riza slipped from her seat beside the table, dusted herself off, and set off at a leisurely pace just to the right of their position.

"Time to pull back and get into our secondary position," Miles murmured, now doubly careful to keep his voice low. None of them knew exactly how far a vampire's sense of hearing could reach, but they also weren't particularly keen to find out. "As long as she doesn't use that string travel method like did to escape the yantir, we should be able to get there in time."

Getting to their feet, the three men ran quietly as they could back down the alley, paralleling Riza's current path, but needing to move faster in order to gain ground.

As they got up to leave, Roy was the only one to look back at her over shoulder… but he doubted he was the only praying that this would work.

INHABITED ZONE OUTSKIRTS, JADAD, ISHVAL

2103 HOURS, APRIL 24TH

The time spent away from Kimblee's presence was pleasurable, even if she could still feel the faint pressure of his mind against the edge of hers. Since arriving, it seemed like all he had done was hunt, rest, and talk. In all honesty, the third option was the worst of the three. With hunting being restricted to a few hours at might and vampires not needing an overabundance of sleep… talking held the majority vote.

Riza wouldn't have minded so much if he actually talked about things that interested her or were of some use. Things like literature, culture, places like East City or Central… he••, she would have settled for firearm technical specifications or dogs. Instead, she got his war memories from Ishval, stories from his time in prison, how to fool psychologists into overlooking very obvious psychopathic tendencies, and an accounting of his 'work' with the Homonculi and their Father before he had been eaten.

She had learned exactly one useful thing in all his babbling: to him, there was no separation of before-Kimblee and vampire-Kimblee. The two were one and the same, unlike before-Riza and vampire-Riza. He had accepted his vampirism wholeheartedly; she still had some assimilating to do.

Finally free of him until daylight broke and she was forced to be sequestered in the inn room that adjoined his — another one of his ideas and one that she was not at all thrilled with — she was content to take her time with her own hunt. A nice stroll to the residential neighbourhoods, a lovely, private dinner, and —

Rounding a corner, into what had once been a quiet street of well-to-do homes, she stopped in her tracks at the sight of a male figure in the open archway of a faded, flaking stucco façade. The man looked up and immediately stood tall, straightening his tunic in… was he self-conscious? Nervous about seeing her?

A little thrill convulsed in her chest and slithered its way down into her belly. If she still had the ability to make Roy Mustang self-conscious and nervous as a schoolboy on his first date… maybe he wasn't a lost cause after all.

She let her most sultry smile spread across her lips; just because she still had half a mind to seduce the man didn't mean she didn't like the way he squirmed when he saw her pointed teeth. "Well, isn't this a surprise…. Out taking the air, fire boy?" She slid a few metres closer. "Weren't you listening yesterday when I told you that monsters come out at night?"

He didn't smile, but his tone was civil. "I didn't think you could possibly be referring to yourself when you said that. You're not a monster." Those dark eyes met hers, looking solemn and fathomless in the shadows. "Although I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been hoping I'd run into you."

"Oh, is that so?" She stopped at the bottom of the three stone steps leading up to the archway where he stood. "Now, why don't I believe that — oh!" She snapped her fingers, eyes wide in a satire of sudden knowledge. "That's right; because you already proved that you're pissed off that I took over pretty little Riza's body, won't give it back, and that I happen to think humans are tasty." She pouted sarcastically. "Maybe you're also mad that I drank your tea this morning?"

It was easy to see that he was discomfited by her reading of him, not to mention her little performance, but he kept himself collected. He even managed a small smile. "Actually, I'm not mad at all about that. In fact…." He turned, bending to pick something up from behind the arch's side. Riza's pout disappeared, her body tensing as she prepared to dodge whatever he was about to attack her with.

Instead, when he turned back and straightened, he was holding a small stoneware jar and pair of cups. "I brought tea with me. I thought, if I did happen to run into you and you didn't immediately try to kill me, we could share it this time, instead of you simply stealing mine."

It was impressive, really, that in the space of any conversation with him, she could go from wanting to tumble him buck naked in the sand to wanting him to just leave. The look she gave him now was far from the sultry start of barely a minute earlier. "Right," she drawled sardonically. "Should I look away so that you can add the poison, or is it already mixed into the tea?"

"It's not poisoned," he answered, turning and walking into the abandoned house. "I might not like it, but that's still my Lieutenant's body you're possessing. If I try to hurt you, I just end up hurting her… and that's something I can't do."

She paused in the archway, watching as he moved into the middle of the house's inner courtyard. Tarpaulins stretched overhead, blotting out the moon and stars and creating a shelter out of what would normally have been an open-air space. Colonnades lined the little square, which held a hollow that might have once been a fountain or decorative pond. He sat down on the edge, looking around with… he seemed contented, almost, as though there weren't a deadly supernatural creature lurking just behind him.

"Odd place for you to wind up when you're supposedly just 'out for a walk,'' she commented, not moving any closer. Something felt off about this…. He was too calm, too in control, his answers too prepared…. No matter what he said, it was clear he had been waiting for her… but how had he known she would come this way?

He glanced back over his shoulder, smiling. "We were considering this house as an outpost for the Reconstruction Office, once we start to build up a little more in this direction. We scouted the location the other day, and I liked the architecture enough that I wanted to see it again." He waved a hand at the courtyard's perimeter. "Nobody builds with colonnades like these in Amestris, until it's in the south, close the Aerugonian border."

"Pretty dark for a human's eyes," she pointed out, drifting cautiously closer, just inside the square formed by the colonnade. "Isn't it hard to appreciate architecture when you can't see?"

His sudden grin was boyish, if short-lived. "Not for long. Promise not to tell the Ishvalans?"

Without warning, he clapped his hands together before snapping the fingers of his left hand. A double handful of small fireballs shot out in every direction, zooming straight through the air to slam into the heads of torches sitting in sconces at intervals around the yard. Riza jumped briefly as one flashed past a mere metre away, her eyes blinking in the sudden flare of torchlight.

When the light spots cleared, Roy was already at work, pouring still steaming tea from the stone jar into the pair of cups sitting next to him on the sand-covered tiles. Picking one up, he held it out to her. "Come on; I figure that if you're going to be possessing my Lieutenant for the foreseeable future, I should at least make some effort to get to know you."

She watched him for a moment, trying with all her psychic senses to detect some kind of deceit, some kind of hint as to what he really wanted… but no. Apparently, he really did want her to drink the tea, to stay and talk for a while, to just… be companionable. His mind wasn't entirely truthful about it, that much was clear… but she suspected it was because he was lying to himself about how he felt about this. He was forcing himself to be okay with this situation, but for her, it was harmless.

Besides, if she talked long enough, perhaps she could win him over. Roy already hated Kimblee, probably more than she did. If she could get him relaxed enough to let down his guard, to take off that stupid protective charm, then maybe she could get close enough…. Just one little bite, and then he would be hers. Turn him, use him to help her dethrone Kimblee, and then the two of them could….

She shook herself mentally, pushing her sudden daydream to one side. Crossing the sand and flagstones, she took the cup with a softly murmured 'thank you,' settling down with it just out of reach of the malevolent energy emanating from that homely-looking cloth pouch around his neck. She sniffed her cup, watching suspiciously until he took a sip from his own. Hers held no foreign scent other than fragrant jasmine, and, as he had said, to poison her was to poison his own lady love. He would no more hurt her than he would the real Riza Hawkeye.

"So it occurs to me," he said, after a moment, "that I actually don't know what to call you." When she looked up at him, he shrugged. "I mean, you're not Riza as I know her, but you're still… at this point, you're more a part of her, I suppose. So do I still call you Riza, or Hawkeye? Or is there some other name that you use that you would prefer?"

She waved away the concern with an airy hand. "It doesn't matter much to me. Identity is a small concern next to survival, when you essentially have to forage for your food." She watched his expression go blank, likely so he wouldn't betray his own distaste, and kept going. "I still think of my name as being Riza, but if it helps you differentiate, calling me Hawkeye wouldn't bother me either."

"I see." His shoulders tensed as he visibly braced himself to ask his next question. "And how are things with Kimblee?"

"I think you mean 'how are things with the windbag.'" She grinned at the surprise that crossed his face. "I think being in solitary confinement for so many years had more of an effect on him than he's willing to admit. He just won't stop talking."

"Really?"

"Yes, and it's getting tiresome, even after only one day." She rolled her eyes, taking another sip of tea. "About the only interesting thing he would talk about is how much he wants to mess with you." She raised an eyebrow. "I told you, didn't I, the entire reason why he turned me?"

Roy nodded, the look in his eyes far away and introspective. "Yes…. You said it was to get revenge on me, since he and I have been on opposite sides from day one. I would have thought he had bigger fish to fry than me, but maybe it was just a case of wrong place, wrong time."

She tilted her head first one way, than the other, weighing the opinion. "Mmmmm, partly, but that's not all of it. Mostly, yes, you were just the closest person on whom he could vent his spleen, but the other part of it is just sheer pettiness on his part." She shook her head, disapproving. "You were chosen as a human sacrifice instead of him. Granted, he was mauled by Heinkel and then eaten by Pride, but if he'd had the chance, he would have jumped at the offer to be a human sacrifice for the Homonculi."

Roy laughed humourlessly, downing the contents of his cup. "He could have traded with me if he hadn't been eaten. I wouldn't have minded not being blinded.”

'That's what I told him." She rolled her eyes in derision. "But he spouted some nonsense about how it would have allowed him to first make a massive change in the world and then watch the aftereffects of that change. But, unfortunately, fate had other ideas."

A voice rang out from the shadows of the colonnade. "All right, Colonel, we're clear."

Riza's head whipped around to the archway they had entered by, to find Scar and Miles standing just inside the archway, outside the colonnades. "…Gentlemen? I didn't realize there were going to be other guests at this party." Her purple eyes suspicious, she turned back to Roy. "Seems the sort of thing you ought to have warned a lady about, Colonel."

"Would you have stayed if I did?" His tone was flat, his eyes and expression hard. "Although now… I doubt you have much of a choice."

She laughed, setting her cup aside as she got to her feet. "You've still got a lot to learn about me and my kind. Thanks for the drink, but four's a crowd. I'll be on my way."

He got up as well, facing her. "I understand enough to know that you're staying right here," he said firmly. "You and I still need to have a talk, and I'm not satisfied by five minutes of chitchat over tea." His arms folded over his chest. "I told you before, you might look like my Lieutenant, but you're not her by a long shot. And I have no problem interrogating an imposter."

Anger suffused her chest, wanting to escape her throat in a snarl, but she held it back by virtue of her gritted teeth. She stalked forward a pair of steps, intent on showing this lowly, insolent human who was in control here… and recoiled as the stench coming from that tiny little pouch assailed her.

"If you think that little charm is going to be enough to keep me here, it's exactly the opposite," she spat. Turning toward the archway, she glared daggers at Scar and Miles, both men watching her with stone faces. "If the two of you know what's good for you, you'll step aside before you get thrown."

Scar's voice was calm and cool, but with a hint of frost at the edges. "That won't be necessary."

Riza was still stalking toward them, just beginning to ready her muscles for the task of throwing aside two fully grown men, when she fetched up face-first against and invisible barrier. She rebounded with the redirected momentum, lost a brief battle with equilibrium, and dropped backward into the dirt.

"I tried to warn you," Roy commented mildly. He hadn't moved from his spot, knowing he was safe from her so long as he kept the charm on him. "We've tweaked the protective circle since we last used it for the yantir, so now it doesn't just keep demons inside." His lips twitched in a thin smile. "It keeps vampires, too."

Even in a dire situation such as this, her heart rate was still far slower than the average human's. And as the gravity of this new situation began to creep in, Riza felt her heart sinking, down through her stomach to settle as an uneasy feeling deep in her gut. She, the hunter, was now very much the prey.

What’s in the Box || Event

There’s a lull of silence, a break in the buzz of excited and nervous whispers, at Witches’ Brew Tavern when Pitch arrives. The police have cordoned off the area where the parcel was originally found. The brown paper packaging resting in shreds around the box, the letter that came alongside it has been opened but remains in place to be read by the addressed. There’s a crowd gathering and whilst the police are doing their best to move people along, quickly and without causing a mass panic, the number only seems to increase as the minutes tick by. Leaving crowd control to the police would buy precious seconds with the package, but the noise alone is enough to shatter one’s concentration. The police are concerned with keeping as many people safe as possible but despite their best efforts their warnings fall on deaf ears. Bobby Barkley spares a moment to look over to Pitch, as if pleading for a moment of their time to help with the matter at hand. The high pitched beeping of the package serves as a looming reminder that there truly isn’t a second to spare.

Pitch nervously adjusted his cowl as he attempted to push the worry away to keep his focus on the task at hand. Sure, they would have gotten Helen out and urged her to safety, there's no way she was going to leave that place... putting even more pressure on an already stressful situation.

He was sure she'd be glad to know about the crowd this whole mess has drawn to her doorstep. It wouldn't do to have them standing around him... and their flashing lights would definitely prove to be a problem if he needed his powers. Catching Barkley's eye, Pitch nods in understanding and turns to face the crowd, holding up his hands before addressing the crowd. 

"Everyone... Everyone! Please... The police and I need you to get back." He shouted, never regretting the extra gravel he put in his voice more. "We don't know what kind of danger you could be in, and you can't upload those pictures if you and your phone are down for the count." When he finished, a particularly bright camera flash caught his eyes. making him blink several times to get rid of the spots.

The crowd murmurs softly at the address, the flashes of phones slowly die out as they heed your words. The police look frazzled, slightly annoyed but otherwise grateful that the most important part is done. Keeping people safe is something Vigilante’s and the police have in common, it’s something they’ll keep note of in the future. It takes a few minutes before the area is completely clear but by the ten minute mark there is only uniformed officers and the box left in the vicinity.

Eventually Pitch approaches the box at the center of all the drama, with the wary eyes of the police watching their every move. Upon closer inspection it becomes clear that despite the plain paper packaging it arrived in the box itself is ornate and rather beautiful. There’s a loud and consistent beeping coming from within, going off every second. Suddenly the presence of NHPD’s bomb squad is made all the more understandable. Mainframe’s letter still rests on top awaiting to be read by Pitch. There’s a palpable tension in the air, only increasing with each passing second spent reading. 

“Congratulations. You have been selected for further study and gifted the opportunity to be assessed by myself. Thank you for accepting the invitation so graciously extended but do note than by the time you’re reading this you will have very little time left to prove yourself. The challenge before you is not a test you can win but rather a test to see if you are worthy of being beaten by myself. Do not waste it. - Mainframe.”

After reading the letter, searching and scanning for any hidden messages or meanings or simply taking it at face value, three options become clear to move forward for what to do with the box. 

 Pitch could investigate further, as there’s no guarantee that it’s a bomb. It’s possible the timer could be ticking to something else that’s absolutely worth investigating in to, and even taking the extra time may be helpful once the true nature of the box is discovered… or any investigation could be a colossal waste of time. 

Another option would be not to take any risks at all and destroy the bomb whose detonation marked by the incessant beeping, serving as a reminder that it’s borrowed to to be worked with. There’s no telling what consequences lie with this assumption, as if it turns out to be something more than a bomb, the outcome could be more dire than anticipated. 

It could be possible however for Pitch to both assume it’s a bomb and proceed with a cautious investigation. This would certainly take the longest amount of time, as making sure any prying hands don’t accidentally trip a detonation sequence would be the primary focus… there’s just no telling how much of that precious time there is left to spare.

After he was sure there wasn't anything left to be learned from Mainframe's cryptic letter, Pitch sighed audibly. Just when he thought the supervillain couldn't get any more pretentious, he goes and writes a personalized letter. This was coming from someone who's alter ego dresses in plaid and drinks tea every day... No, now wasn't the time for distractions... He crumpled it and tossed it over his shoulder. 

 Kneeling in front of the box, Pitch contemplated his choices as he tapped his gloved fingertips on its sides. Mainframe would want him to go with the obvious choice, and simply having a package go boom didn't seem to Pitch like it would be a way to test his knowledge... He hated to admit it, but he knew he'd have to think outside the box in this case. He had to strain himself to suppress a groan at his own humor as it was the only thing keeping him sane at the moment.

Trying to ignore the loud and prodding tone of the timer, Pitch proceeded to handle the box delicately, not making any snap assumptions, but wanting to see if Mainframe had another intention with his personalized gift.

The box could be anything if Mainframe is the mastermind behind its contents. Not wanting to go with the obvious conclusion right away, Pitch delicately traces their hands around the box’s sides to see if there are any other clues. 

The beeping continues as careful fingers feel around the smooth edges, the ornate detailing giving nothing obvious away at first. Just when all is starting to feel fruitless, Pitch's hands find purchase on a catch, releasing the mechanism to begin working the puzzle on the box. It is meant to be opened. The beeping continues, finding the first opening to the puzzle has not set off any sort of trap but neither has it disarmed the bomb.

"Ah!" Pitch exclaimed, starling himself a bit at how relieved he was to find something to lead him in the right direction. But... what was it really? There didn't seem to be any other obvious clues... 

 Looking over his shoulder at the officers watching him, scrutinizing he was sure. Part of him wanted to snap at them and tell them to get lost so he could work in relative peace, but yipping at officers, especially ones that would get him to safety should anything go wrong didn't seem like such a hot plan. Perhaps it was the incessant timer beeping that was making him so irritable.

He was tempted to smash it then and there for that reason alone, but decided against it. Itching to prove himself to Mainframe and being tempted by his own curiosity, Pitch began working at figuring out the next release to the box. If Mainframe was just going to leave it out in the open, surely he put the timer on something that would have lasted all day. Pitch shuddered at the thought.

The beeping continues, almost taunting Pitch, as he tries to find another catch or trick to the puzzle box. The gilded edges refuse to budge no matter how much pressure is applied. There appears to be no further pieces to remove or alter. Each side is examined as thoroughly as possible, but to no avail. Minutes pass and frustration grows within the room as the officers watch Pitch fumble with the puzzle. The catch is pushed back down during the inspection and a small shock is administered to the dark hero as punishment, and a warning. 

Whatever Mainframe set up this time has stumped the vigilante, and now the only clear way forward is to destroy the box before it can do any harm.

"Gah, Son of a bitch!" He shouted. yanking his hands quickly from the box and dropping it. Pitch took a breath to calm himself down from his outburst, and instead focused on the box at his feet. He tilted his head and gave it a nudge with his foot to check it it was still charged. "I don't suppose any of you guys have a hint for me, do you?" Two officers looked at each other and back to him before shaking their heads. "Nah... thought not."

Pitch contemplated the box once more before lifting it up again. Following a previous instinct of smashing it, Pitch gripped at the edges of the box, trying to find a prying point. He figured it would piss Mainframe off the most... Breaking one of his toys. When his fingers couldn't find a grip to pull on the box, Pitch knelt and began smashing the box into the street instead.

The police watch as Pitch attempts to pry open the box with sheer strength. Many roll their eyes, already counting the hero out after his first failed attempt. It starts giving way eventually when he begins to smash it against hard concrete, however, it’s immediately followed by hissing noises and the sound of circuits snapping and breaking. Shortly followed by the beeping timer malfunctioning and eventually cutting off completely. 

 It seems Pitch bypassed a defensive mechanism in the box by managing to break it open quickly. When the box has finally come apart, its core is exposed, though completely destroyed beyond salvation… along with the puzzle he'd failed to solve. Whatever Mainframe left for Pitch to discover is now scrap along with the rest of the box.

There are multiple sighs of relief as the beeping finally stops. A welcome silence falls around those still left in the area before the world kick starts back to life. Police radios crackle to life and the sound of footsteps indicate someone approaching long before they’re seen. Bobby Barkley kneels down beside Pitch and stares thoughtfully at the box, reaching out towards the destroyed remains and brushing the broken pieces aside. 

 He speaks in a calm voice to give his thanks, lives were saved and this is one of the first instances of a bomb being placed in Newhaven that didn’t cause some sort of damage. Whilst one can be happy with the knowledge they stopped Mainframe from hurting anyone the nagging thought that there may have been something more to the box won’t leave. It’s destroyed now and what feels like a win is tainted by the fact the Pitch will never know what test lay in wait for them.

8 Tips To Keep Your Face Skin Clear

How to keep your face skin clear

My skin issues began in my teenager years, I was always loaded with pimples as well as blackheads and as a result of this I constantly had problem making buddies as well as my colleagues considered me filthy because they assumed I did not tidy my face. I was constantly a nerd, who constantly had its face filled with sores, others took pity on me, while the others were giggling behind my back as well as some just weren't even that shy and merely teased me in front of my face and also that hurt me the most.

My moms and dads took me to a doctor however it did not do much, he offered me an antibiotic cream which did not assist me whatsoever. As well as I likewise did wrong, due to the fact that I was often pressing the pimples which resulted in some huge join my white skin. A great colleague from my work as soon as told me that if I did not have all those acnes, my blue eyes would have been seen by numerous people.

I entered my office and also the splits would not stop moving when I realized that it's time to do something, individuals will certainly evaluate me according to the nature of my appearances first and also not by my personality. Particularly that impressions matter and also often face claims every little thing regarding you and also it is a lot more like a business card.

I determined to try numerous tricks that maintain my skin tidy and also to attempt to fix those problems with the blackheads. I will provide to you options which I examined as well as which I think about to be the best.

1. Establish what kind of skin do you have

It is extremely important to understand exactly what type of skin you have, so you would recognize exactly what you should apply to it. I do not believe you wish to purchase a moisturizer for oily skin though you have a dry skin. From my own encounter I can inform you that you risk everything when you apply different skin creams as well as gels that you skin kind could not need.

Dry skin tends normally to have a matte look, really feels dry, commonly you could challenge with itching as well as often it is sensitive. Dry skin need to be hydrated frequently from the within (freshwater) and also outside with thermal water for completely dry skin. You additionally need to consider hydration with moisturizers or lotions.

When we discuss beauty, undoubtedly we are discussing skin wellness. It is, ultimately, the mirror of a lady, as well as, if you desire her business card. Now, if it's a typical skin - without any type of certain trouble - points are straightforward. We do not require several methods or exquisite treatment products. Points get made complex when we need to take care of a fragile skin type. Dry skin, for example, is a kind of skin that gives a great deal of headaches.

An important element when we wrap up that we have dry skin is to uncover the cause, since there are 2 kinds of such skin. Dry skin must not to be confused with dehydrated skin. Dry skin have a deficiency in lipids and dehydrated skin have a shortage in water.

Consume at the very least 2 liters of liquids each day. It holds true that dry skin generally attracts in many cases dehydration, but dehydration takes place as easily in oily skins too. There are entirely different points as well as appropriate medical diagnosis leads to the choice of appropriate treatments.

Dry skin is mainly as a result of a genetic predisposition, however it is not omitted to be gotten from the usage of unsuitable products, with aging or of internal and also outside sources. When the source is a genetic tendency, the number and also/ or size of the sebaceous glands, which provides the essential lipid is minimized in number.

Dry skin is quite sensitive when it comes to wind or radiation, additionally you are encouraged that because case to not go to a beauty salon to bronze your skin artificially. Take care at soaping and also cosmetics which contain alcohol, you could believe they will certainly aid you in cleaning your face, however in fact, it deteriorates as well as dries it.

Oily skin. Oily skin looks shiny and also typically oily in texture. This kind of skin is vulnerable to acne. Your skin will certainly need routine treatments with herbal or clay sprays.

Using particular cosmetics you could hide the pores, do away with blackheads and oily sheen. It is recommended to pick items that have this tag stating 'for oily/ regular' or 'oily as well as acne'. It would certainly excel to wear the inscription 'Skin specialist tested".

Oily acne skin it is vulnerable to breakouts, acne as well as pimples as well as it creates many troubles. Acne is defined by pimples both little as well as huge which leaves marks after their loss. Acne takes place usually because the hormone modifications that occur at puberty.

There are presently lots of troublesome skin treatment items, which can be acquired at the pharmacy. If needed, a skin doctor could prescribe special medications. If the instance of an acne skin, I advise using fat-free items that do not clog pores.

Normal skin is completely balanced, yet rarely fulfilled at fully grown people. Such a skin kind is a priceless gift of the nature. Typical skin is soft, creamy, matte and elastic, it does not sparkle, and also it does not peel off. With such a skin type, generally there are no troubles - it constantly have a healthy and balanced look, a medium thick and also small and also smooth pores. At this kind of skin every girl long for, yet regrettably it is seldom met.

Is simple to keep a normal skin, normal hygiene treatments are enough to preserve it in excellent problem as high as possible. Typical skin only needs 2 points - cleansing and also security versus outside influences. These treatments help maintain a healthy appearance and also slowing the aging procedure of the skin.

2. Cleansing is essential

Cleansing is a vital process that no woman must prevent regardless of the type of skin she have. The way you do matters a great deal since on this step it might depend in big part the method your skin looks.

Before starting the cleaning, wash your hands with a disinfectant soap, due to the fact that on our hands are germs that we effortlessly move onto the face. If the skin is oily, filthy hands can make an actual mess, leading to accentuation of blackheads.

Always utilize cozy water. Since hot water( or rather, also chilly) dries and also aggravates the skin, creating the rupture of the capillaries. Ideally, make use of distilled water when cleaning your face, because it is 'empty' of irritant substances.

Rinse numerous times after purifying. Many cleansing items have the drawback that they dry the skin, so you have to clean them quite well from your face after you have actually used them. Do not always make use of the same towel for the face, you must constantly have one tidy, if you assume you neglect doing this, purchase non reusable towels specially created for your face skin. If you forget the adjustment the towel whenever, all you do is to spread out bacterias all over your face.

And when you tidy on your own with the towel, do not scrub it highly, but a little press it. Apply a moisturizing cream as your skin is still slightly damp to permeate successfully right into the skin.

Correct purifying becomes part of a routine that you need to do it daily, a minimum of 20 minutes and also that we must not ignore if we want a tidy and healthy skin.

3. Keep in mind the diet

A tidy skin does not imply you have to spend money on expensive therapies and also means and it also means exactly what you consume. A diet regimen rich in vitamins and also healthy and balanced food, if it will clean your skin as well as it will certainly keep you younger for a longer time. The food you need to eat to have an attractive skin are:

Avocado fruit contains important fat agents that assist your skin to recover its flexibility and also elasticity, your skin will absolutely enjoy this fruit. Eat this fruit in salads and also utilize it for weekly masks. Avocado mask is exceptionally nutritious as well as ideal for dry skin. Prepare it hence: secure the core of ripe fruit and also put it in a blender up until you obtain a creamy paste. Include a little extra-virgin olive oil as well as use the combination on the face. Leave it on for 20 mins then remove the mask and rinse with cozy water.

Bell peppers renew as well as clean the skin, however additionally erase fine creases on the skin, when consumed frequently. Specifically, red peppers are an exceptional source of vitamin A, which is had to regrow skin as well as boost its appearance. Peppers are complete of vitamin C, which experts state is vital for stimulating the production of collagen, production which reduces with aging up.

Mango can be made use of with self-confidence in homemade masks and facials, as they consist of charitable amounts of vitamin A, plus a high material of antioxidants and also important minerals for cleansing the skin. Eat mango once a week to have a much more supple skin and preparare some mango facial masks. Here's how you can prepare a mango mask: mix two tablespoons of mango pulp with a tsp of honey as well as a tsp of yogurt. Apply on face as well as leave the mask to act for 10-15 mins. Repeat treatment once a week.

Avoid eating meat, fish, eggs, fried foods, white flour, white sugar and other items, such as coffee, carbonated drinks, alcohol, tobacco, medicines and contraceptives, as well as other drug that could be gotten over the counter. Any kind of artificial, processed food will only bring about leaving noticeable traces on your face. A proverb claims that you are just what you eat!

4. Do not overexpose yourself to sun!

Even when you take place your dream holiday mixed-up does not remain in the sunlight also long. Try to restrict sun exposure (between 10 o'clock and two o'clock in the mid-day). If you have to sit in the sun for extended periods of time, see to it you wear a high quality sun block. The most effective would be to utilize a hat. You recognize that sunshine on your skin is a wonderful source of vitamin D, be mindful that excessive direct exposure could cause creases and also skin cancer. Remember to utilize a natural protector such as coconut oil, or a sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher.

5. Do not squeeze pimples!

I was doing this while I was a teen as well as I did not knew why my face constantly appeared like a sphere that was merely hit. You possibly desire to do it, however hold yourself from doing it because you will just emphasize what you currently have. Pressing them will only create greater skin infections - which suggests immediately the level of the life of the squeezed pimples. This practice could lead to fast multiplication of the number of pimples by spreading out infection. Makes use of unique cremes for these so you'll avoid traces left after or even worse, for them to increase on the remainder of your face!

6. Exfoliate your skin!

To maintain your skin tidy and fresh! Peeling gets rid of dead cells from the skin and also enables better absorption of hanker the face. Scrub your skin after you have cleaned it ahead of time. Warmth the location where you apply the scrub with cozy water and put the item on the skin with circular motions. Avoid the delicate area around the eyes. Rinse thoroughly with cozy water and also utilize a cream. It is recommended that you exfoliate your skin regarding three times a week!

7. Prepare various masks at home

Using different ingredients, from fruit to milk, depending on your skin type! Applying a mask rich in minerals and vitamins is necessary because skin needs hydration and also natural refreshment!

Below I will discuss the masks made use of by me which had almost miraculous outcomes:

 Mask with egg white - Separate the egg white and mix it in well with a fork( as for clambered eggs). Use on washed skin and also clean with warm water ahead of time. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes (also if you have a itching or even if it dries on the face). After 20 mins wash thoroughly with warm water as well as dab the skin at the end with a paper towel. For problematic skin, utilizing this therapy is advised when a day in the initial week and also then twice a week. The results are assured. Egg white has collagen, an organic item that aids preserve the skin's flexibility and also to stay clear of creases. Basically, collagen is a placenta as well as contains several vitamins.

Mask with aspirin - You need: two aspirin tablet computers, a tiny teaspoon of honey as well as regarding 1/2 teaspoons of water. As soon as you have those active ingredients, put the water in a plate and also then the pain killers tablets( do not use pain killers tablet computers since they dissolve quite hard in water). After aspirin dissolves (do not anticipate to obtain a perfect pasta), mix well and add the honey after which stir it once again to obtain a consistent paste. Use the paste around the face, including your chin as well as leave it concerning 20 minutes. I suggest you to exist down on the bed as well as arm on your own with patience because it will certainly be long 20 minutes. You will really feel an odd feeling in the area as something will tighten up the skin on your face. After the 20 minutes have passed, go to the bathroom as well as deplete quickly with warm water while making a rotating massage therapy of the face. You could do this mask without honey however after you would necessarily need to utilize a cream. Likewise, if you like the pain killers mask without honey, the resulting paste will not stick this great to your skin. You could utilize the mask with pain killers no greater than 3 times a week, yet before an application, ensure you are not sensitive to aspirin.

Mask with yogurt as well as olive oil as well as honey - The first thing to do is to heat the honey to ensure that it comes to be fluid and can be mixed with yogurt. After you heated the honey, blend it with yogurt and also olive oil, leave it for regarding 5 minutes, after you mix it once again and apply it on your clean skin( meticulously, thoroughly tidy the skin prior to applying the mask with yogurt). After you have applied the paste after blending yogurt with honey as well as with olive oil, wait 20 mins for the mask to work, then eliminate the mask by rinsing with warm water. I recommend applying this mask with yogurt for 2-3 times a week and also no doubt in a few months you will certainly have visible renovations. Adverse effects from these masks were not seen previously, however if you observe any kind of inflammation or something incorrect stop to apply this mask.

8. Massage your face!

Massage improves blood flow and also tones the facial muscles. It is advised at a young age, due to the fact that when you are older, your skin loses its elasticity swiftly. Use circular activities and fine ones for the temple, cheeks and chin.

Some of the face massage exercise that you can do before a mirror:

Smoothing your temple: increase and reduce the eyebrows

Lift the hair with your hands and also look straight ahead

Delicately reduced the brows, yet try not to close them

Close your eyes, while still hanging on top of the forehead with your hands, which remains stretched

Elevate your hand and delicately lift the brows, without triggering creases on your forehand.

Eyes relaxation: increase your eyebrows

Area one practical your head, location fingers on the temple creating a fan

Press heavily to stay clear of wrinkles between the eyebrows throughout exercise

Slowly raise both eyebrows, after that gradually return to the starting position

Raise your hand on the forehead and notice your brows: their standard line is somewhat increased a few millimeters, which has the effect of sweetening of the face attributes and broadening the look.

Toning of the entire face: pronounce the vowels

A - with a wide laugh:

Open your mouth broad and also articulate A

After that laugh slowly to further open up of the mouth, supporting your face with your hands, to avoid the development of creases on the cheeks

Close the mouth slowly

E - with a smile

Pronounce the vowel E, drawing the corners of his mouth as high as a smile

8. Go to a salon!

If these pointers does not help you, even after you have actually sought advice from a dermatologist, it's time to select an aesthetic beauty parlor concentrated on cleaning the skin.

The high content of minerals in seaweed and relish items are utilized into a cosmetic hair salon to promote blood circulation to assist get rid of toxins as well as enhance the body immune system of the skin. Facial peeling helps cleanse the skin by getting rid of dead skin cells as well as impurities without extreme drying out of the skin and also its protective layer. Crystallized algae based all-natural peeling will not the skin and this is why it is likewise used in the fanciest of the salons.

Ultrasound spatula is a new element as well as you can inquire about it at the hair salon where you typically go. It is utilized on all areas of the face: chin, nose, temple, cheeks, and also gives gentle cleaning of the skin. The degree of the exfoliation depends on the intensity, professionalism and trust as well as problems of the use of the mesotherapy spatula. Pay focus!!!

Do not come to be addicted to the elegance hair salon, because they can be quite costly and besides you a not a diva so you could manage everyday indulging. Try to produce your own approaches of combating skin issues at home, with more organic active ingredients. They are healthier as well as your face skin will certainly thanks for that.

If you truly have some major concerns that you can repair in your home, then select very carefully a beauty parlor where you can go securely, without being worried what may occur to you. Ask your skin specialist too, prior to you pick one method or an additional. It is recommended to ask him even prior to you attempt some residence made mask, since possibly you haven't recognized the right skin kind of your face and also you will only do hurt to on your own by using a few other thing.
