"Alright, alright, settle down," Aya said to everyone, waving her hand to them. "Now that we're all here, it's time to figure this stuff out. We have a whole two days to go around Italy and have as much fun as we want; if you're going somewhere, keep in touch."

"Speaking of going somewhere." Colt muttered in Aya's ear. "I took the liberty of making dinner plans."

"Boasting rights go to the victorious." She told him with a grin. She then climbed out of the pool before responding. "I know where I'm going - to take a shower." That said, Robin returned to her room to do as she had previously said.

"Maybe we can go an explore like we were saying before," Nicol suggested towards Robin before she left.

"Yeah, that sounds great, Nicky." Robin called back to him while she walked to her room.

"Aaaah young love in the air," Adam teased, causing Nicol to blush brigtly as the man chuckled from inside of the pool. "Aya are they even allowed to go off alone to do god knows what?" he asked melodramatically.

Colt shrugged. "As long as they check in." He said with a knowing smile. "That reminds me, I'll have to have a little chat with Nicol about this."

"Wait what?" Nicol turned towards Colt, now having a nervous expression plastered on his face.

Colt just smiled. "Nothing Nicol nothing. Just a conversation between mentor and mentee." He said vaguely, sending a grin Adam's way before hopping out of the pool. "I better clean up. Especially need a shave."

Aya nodded. "We'd all do well for some freshening up. Lots of fun ahead," she said, getting out of the pool herself. Turning to Jett, she pointed at him. "You and me, we've gotta talk."
@Infinity Storm;

--

The next day had come. The agreement was simple - everyone was required to check in with each other via their phones, but they were free to explore Venice. No one was allowed to leave the city, but everyone could bask in it. Over the years, Venice had expanded significantly beyond its previously small size, boasting many different things now that they couldn't before.

As such, there was much to do there, and communication was a must.

Aya had taken to the streets, walking around to bask in the sights. It was a beautiful place, that much was for sure. She smiled a bit, taking in the sights of the water. She took a picture with her phone, smiling at the quality it came out in. "That's nice," she said to herself.

Robin leaned against a wall outside of Nicol's room with her arms folded, waiting for the teen to make an appearance so they could get started on exploring the city. "C'mon, Nic let's go - while the shine still shines please." She said to him, though not a hint of annoyance was in her voice.

Robin had opted for a casual look by wearing a white shirt, a light blue denim jacket, black leggings, brown boots and the addition of a camera hanging around her neck, a black headband to hold back her blonde bob and a watch.

While waiting, Robin had an idea - she was going to take a lot of pictures while she was here and get them printed when they were back at HQ so why not start here? That decided, Robin turned the camera on and started taking pictures of the villa and ending it with a couple selfies of herself.

Colt had left the villa early in the morning. He had a number of things to take care of, one in particular was rather befuddling. Frowning, he stepped outside the shop he had been standing in and called Adam. When his teammate picked up, Colt simply said, "I need a favor. Can you warp over to my location? I need your help with something real quick." He requested before stepping back inside.

Aya continued taking pictures of the shoreline with her phone, smiling as she watched how they came out. Beautiful looking scenery and happy people. This was just what she needed. Tomorrow, she would try to get some pictures with her team so that she could further commemorate everything.

She smiled a bit, looking in the air. Various planes flew to and from the city. It was a busy day, it seemed. However, the fading voices around her brought her attention back to the street. When she looked around, the people had all but disappeared. "Wait, what... oh no," she narrowed her eyes, looking around. Had she been pulled into a rift?

She sighed, taking out her shotgun and walking around the streets. The nexus had to be found and destroyed. Hopefully it was nothing too difficult to destroy.

A minute of walking later, Aya heard a sound. Something that sounded like... carving. Getting behind a wall, she surveyed the scene ahead.

There was a person, dressed in a hooded coat hunched over a creature, grinding it with an axe. Aya held up her gun, walking out of her cover. "Hands where I can see em!" She yelled out.

The hooded person stopped for a moment, standing to their feet with their axe still in hand.

"Now, turn!" Aya ordered. The figure didn't budge, and Aya cocked her gun. "Turn around!"

However, they were quick; in one bound, the hooded person leaped from their position to a rooftop, breaking into a run.

Aya opened fire, sending a number of shots at the person. The shots missed as they bobbed and weaved, with the woman making to give chase. She propelled herself up onto the rooftop, landing before she ran after the person. The wooden tops of the houses made it impossible to magnetize them to the ground. Thus, she had no choice but to keep following them.

"All right I'm ready," Nicol announced once he had done changing, putting on a light white shirt with the words Ghost Stars on the chest and a pair of jeans. "What are you oding?" he asked, laughing when he saw Robin taking her selfies.

Adam had been walking around the streeths of venice, wanting to explore the city's appearance and make sure to see as many sites as he could. That's when he heard his phone ringing and proceeded to reply to Colt. "Oh sure," Adam pointed out. 'Where are you right now?"

"A jewelry store by St Marks." Colt gave as an explanation.

"Being memorable." Robin casually replied with a smirk. Glancing at him, Robin flipped the camera around so it was facing him. "Say cheese, Ghost Stars." Robin said, taking a picture of him smiling and laughing. "That's a keeper." She commented, switching off the camera and leaving it dangling off her neck.

She turned her attention back to Nicol. "So, what do you have in mind, Nicol, where are we going?" She asked him.

Adam proceeded to quickly warp in front of Colt, yawning a bit. "So what's up?" he asked before looking at the store. "Oh goddang it," he frowned and turned to Colt.

Colt sighed, handing Adam a small box and opening the lid. Inside was a massive ring, the center stone a flawless shimmering square cut diamond. The smaller diamonds around it were the color of Aya's eyes and they shined with the same warmth as the woman he loved. "Do you think she'll like it?" Colt asked and it was readily apparent that he was petrified.

Adam looked at the ring carefully, inspecting it before turning towards Colt. "You really think it's a good idea to ask someone that used to be in love with your girlfriend that?" he asked with a slightly chuckle before sighing and closing the box. "I think she'll love it," he said honestly before holding it in front of Colt. "You picked a pretty good ring, amazing looking but not too showy at the same time, just like her boyfriend."

Nicol blushed a bit at having his picture taken like that before regaining his composure. "How about we just walka round for now, get some gelato."
