A female voice comes into the room from the doorway behind them. "Well if it isn't the master of lightening himself." Her voice is soft and pleasant.
Lightening swallows hard and slowly looks up from the papers towards the wall. "It can't be." He turns to look at the owner of the voice. When he lays his eyes on her he brushes his bangs off to the side. "Regina!"
"Hello, Lewin. I hear you were promoted to Arch Knight of The Order. I was rooting for you to be Paladin but not all prayers get answered. Anyway congratulations."
"What are you doing here Regina? I thought you were in Louisiana now."
"Well when I heard that you would be needing a Guardian Angel in the States I took the first plane to Michigan to help you. Also word was you were helping out an old classmate's family. You know how I felt about Karol."
"Yeah, he was always my competition." Lewin slowly gazes at Regina as she walks into the room. She wore an urban camouflage body suit that clung to her voluptuous hourglass figure. Her soft hazel eyes set off her olive brown skin. Though her hair seemed long it was hard to tell as she wore it up in a high French twist. Its dark brown color was almost black with streaks of reddish highlights running through it that softened her face. Nearly everything about her appearance was right up Lightening's alley and he drooled while lingering over her backside.
She rolls her eyes at him. "Oh please, the only competition you had when it came to me was demons, and who could slay more." She smiles with a devilish little grin.
He matches it.
"How long will you be State side Lewin? I'd love to get together and catch up." She winks looking his body up and down as well.
He scratches his head and sighs. "Well I have my exwires with me. So I can't stay long as they need to get back to school."
Regina snaps her fingers. "Oh well that's too bad. Could we at least do dinner? My treat, bring the exwires. The boy there looks like he could use some protein. He needs to keep up those muscles." She offers her hand to Suguro. "I'm Regina Beal, Senior Exorcist First class. Who might you be young man?"
He shakes her hand. "Ryuji Suguro, I'm Lightening's apprentice."
Regina looks over at Lewin still holding Suguro's hand. "You took on an apprentice? I'm impressed your teaching skills must have improved. You couldn't even teach me how to fry an egg and I already knew how." She pats Suguro's hand with the one he wasn't shaking and then releases it.
"No, he's still a rotten teacher." Suguro shakes his head.
"Geeze, give me some credit." Lewin says chastising Suguro.
Luna giggles.
Suguro's face stays thoughtful. "I'm sorry may I ask, are you the Regina Beal that rewrote the Aria's book on death verses in eighteen different languages?"
Regina blushes nodding her head and with a large grin on her face looks at Lewin. "What you do teach your students is nothing but the best."
He smiles and shakes his head. "No, my apprentice Ryuji Suguro here is an over achiever."
Regina laughs, "Were we any different at his age?" She turns to Luna. "My, my you look just like your mother." She sighs reaching up and touching Luna's cheek.
Luna looks down at the ground. "Thank you my mom was a beautiful woman. I just wish her actions would have reflected her outer beauty."
"You'll just have to prove that beauty isn't only skin deep." She smiles with a little bit of sadness in her eyes. "Miss Luna Wilk it's a pleasure to finally meet you." She removes her hand from Luna's cheek and offers it to be shaken.
Luna takes her hand. "Ms. Beal I remember my father talking about you being the best sniper that the Order has. I'd love to shoot with you someday." She bows.
Regina blushes. "Did your father really say that?"
Luna nods.
"Well thank you Miss Wilk for sharing that. I'd love to take you to the shooting range if we have time." She laughs and looks at Lewin. "Are you sure you didn't train these two to flatter me like this?"
Lewin takes off his hat shaking his head and scratches the back of it. "I kind of wish I did now."
She pats Luna's hand and looks her up and down. "Why don't you all come to my place? I've rented a house in Livonia and it's too big for me to stay all alone." She looks at her wrist watch. "It's a little after three in the afternoon right now, so Luna can clean up and then we'll have some dinner."
"You sure are persistent Regina." Lewin says.
She looks over at him with a coy smile. "Would you have me any other way?"
"Not any other way I could mention in front of my students." Lewin winks at her.
Regina puts her hand up to her mouth to suppress a laugh. "Well then you might have to stay for breakfast too." She then uses the same hand to run her finger under Lewin's chin.
His eyes light up at her touch. "We will just have to talk about it over dinner." He nods.
She smiles. Luna gives Regina props. She had never seen Lightening so easily persuaded to do anything.
