"Anna, I don't understand this. Can you explain how cosine rule works again?" Daisy stared down her Mathematics homework as if a Stand was going to leap out of it at any moment. School was tough, but luckily she was acing her Specialist classes. However, Mathematics was compulsory, and she was rubbish at it. Some of the Mathematics Specialists were absolute whizzes, and one of them, she noticed, even used his Stand to take extra notes. Anna-Rose was a Physics Specialist, so she was still great at equation solving, especially compared to her, but not quite on the level of the pure math junkies.

"Yeah, it's easy, you just have to-" At that moment, the doorbell rang. Daisy stood up to answer it, but was greeted by a boy of African American descent, about 18, with a pimply face and a red beanie. Anna-Rose was shocked. "Delaware, how did you get here? This isn't even my home, damn it!" Delaware chuckled.

"I live here. My parents have split, so I moved into my own place, and it's downstairs. You two were being noisy, so I came over to tell you to shut up and what do you know, you're here. What a coincidence." Daisy was shocked.

"You two know each other? Delaware came to greet me when I first moved in." Anna-Rose nodded.

"We fought a few days ago. He's a Stand User as well, with the power to control metal." Daisy nodded. She had her suspicions… Stand Users attract other Stand Users. That sentence jumped back into her mind when she thought about it. It must have been fate that Anna-Rose and Delaware fought, and fate that she moved into the apartment above his.

Delaware interjected. "Daisy, you got a Stand too? What does yours do?" Daisy blushed a little.

"My Stand lets me change parts of my body into bug parts. It also manifests as a wasp, so it's really fast and has a good range." Anna-Rose looked at her quizzically, and she kept speaking. "I only got it the day I moved here, so I'm still experimenting with it."

Delaware nodded. "Cool. I bet you're an expert on bugs, huh? I mean, I have this theory that the reason my power has to do with metal is because I'm working so hard to become a metalworker when I grow up. It's the family business, after all. Fitzpatrick Shelving." Delaware sighed. "Though, since my parents divorced I really haven't seen much of my dad, so I dunno if I even want to go into the family business."

Daisy huffed. "Why do you two have such interesting pasts? I'm just a farm girl that really likes bugs." She collected herself and stood up. "Hey, Anna-Rose, let's go back to your place. I'll drop you off there and head back here. I'm tough, I can stick up for you."

Anna-Rose chuckled a little. "Says the girl whose entire superpower is turning into insects."

Daisy growled. "Hey, I know 20 species of caterpillar that could kill you on contact. Want me to test my knowledge?"

Delaware chuckled. "God, catfights are entertaining, even between Stand users."

The two girls turned to him and sighed. "You need to get a life," Daisy muttered.

The streets of New York are generally well-lit even at night, so the walk to Anna-Rose's home in New York proper from the Brooklyn apartment complex wasn't incredibly long. All that was really dangerous was the busy Brooklyn Bridge, however tonight it was empty. Daisy was unnerved. "Normally this place is always congested… what's going on?" She suddenly caught a glimpse of an odd manhole cover in the centre of the road. "Wait… this is a bridge. What's that manhole doing there? There's nowhere to go, surely."

Delaware used They Might Be Giants's power to try and lift the manhole cover, but strangely, it wasn't made of metal. "What in the hell… what could it be made of?" The cover began to slowly turn as something opened it from underneath.

Daisy and Anna-Rose readied their Stands for a fight, just in case. "It must be a Stand doing that… there's no other explanation!" Anna-Rose in particular was tense; this power was familiar to her. After a few tense moments, a seventeen-year-old boy rose up from the ground. His clothing was fashionable and artistic, and behind him was a cartoony sketch. It had to be his Stand. Anna-Rose was taken aback. This was someone who had bullied her in the past. Alfonse Calpenso, an Italian Art Specialist with a fearsome Stand.

"Why are you here, Alfonse?" Anna-Rose confronted her former tormentor. Alfonse responded coolly.

"Why, I had decided that you and your new friend were getting too close. You don't deserve friendship, you flimsy weakling, and I'll scrub out that artistic mistake next to you!" Daisy gulped.

Anna-Rose began to whisper to her allies. "Alfonse's Stand is named Life In Cartoon Motion. It can't attack conventionally, but it can use cartoon tropes and make them real. So, you know those oversized bombs or disobediences of physics in cartoons?" Daisy and Delaware nodded. "He can make them exist in reality. That also means he can counter-act my Spin by spinning wildly himself. I'm rather useless against him."

Daisy chuckled. "Well, let's give him a show then. Okay, Delaware?" Delaware nodded.

"This bastard is gonna get some if he's one of those snobby pricks who goes to Specialist." He cracked his knuckles before using the metal cables of the bridge to fly up into the air. Daisy, on the other hand, sprouted a pair of butterfly wings to float up, the wasp-like Bullet with Butterfly Wings flying off to attack Alfonse with its heavy stinger. Alfonse sprouted a huge fly swatter to try and smack Daisy's Stand to the floor, but Bullet hung back, before shooting off its stinger at high speed towards Alfonse. The art student panicked and tried to dodge, but the stinger slammed hard into his arm.

"Oww! God, that really hurts!" He materialised a huge pair of tweezers and pulled out the stinger after some effort. It looked as if there was no damage to him at all. Daisy was in complete shock. Her Stand had shown off a new power, but against this fearsome foe it meant nothing at all. This was intense. Could they even beat this kid, who used cartoon logic to fight?

Potential: D

Daisy and Delaware hovered in mid-air, both completely stunned at Alfonse's ability to shrug off a powerful attack like the stinger shot that Daisy's Stand had launched. Anna-Rose, on the other hand, was trying to see through the thick darkness of the bridge. She knew Alfonse's face was very well-proportioned, and would definitely allow her to throw a Super Spin attack at him, but her poor vision mixed with the darkness blocked her from doing so at a distance. She was going to need to close in, and with the art Specialist's Stand that would be a tough one.

"Damn," Delaware gritted his teeth, "does he have crowns on his teeth or something I can use? Surely he carries a pen around if he's an art snob, but I can't tell." Daisy was also suitably confounded.

"What an intense ability. However…" Daisy grinned. "I have an idea. Delaware, cover for me, I'm going to try something."

Delaware was shocked as Daisy flew back into the shadows. "What the hell? You can't just leave us here!"

Alfonse had grown tired of waiting, and pulled a gun out of the hammerspace his Stand gave him. "Anna-Rose, if you won't back down, I'm going to shoot you and your friends. You deserve nothing." Delaware smirked; obviously this snob hadn't picked up on his power. Alfonse readied the gun, and fired; however, instead of a bullet, a party flag came out. Alfonse had grabbed a popgun by mistake. "Oh, crap. Hold on, I know I have it somewhere…" After pulling a series of outlandish things from his pocket, Alfonse finally pulled a revolver out, and made sure it was real. "Alrighty… Prepare to die, nerd."

And that was when Alfonse was bitten on the leg by fire ants. Daisy emerged from the shadows behind Alfonse, red mandibles protruding from her cheeks. She waved at Delaware and Anna-Rose cheekily before biting Alfonse as well. The art student freaked out upon seeing this monstrous person attack him, and he sprinted forward, shooting at Daisy. Without delay, Delaware pushed the bullet into the bitumen using his own Stand power. Daisy retracted the mandibles, walking over to the terrified Alfonse.

"Did you know that ants use pheromones to co-ordinate fights with rival colonies? I bet you do now." She smirked, the strange aroma surrounding her becoming more intense, and the fire ants biting down harder. Alfonse glared at Daisy.

"How dare you defend her… I will kill you here!" He leapt up, his legs now coated in bandages that crushed the fire ants. Daisy was completely shocked.

"When did you have time to do that?" However, her question was met with a cartoony bomb, held by the sketchy figure of Life In Cartoon Motion. She was frozen with fear, rooted to the spot. Alfonse rolled the bomb over to Daisy and fled. Anna-Rose ran forward, the light of the fuse guiding her, and she got to Daisy with about ten seconds before the bomb went up.

"Daisy, hold still, and let me look at your face." Eulogy was summoned, and the Stand gripped the bomb like a baseball and lined up a pitch at the art Specialist. Daisy gulped.

"I-Is it about the Golden Ratio or whatever? I remember you said my face was very clean…" She began to shake with fear.

"Yes, Daisy. I'm short-sighted, so in this darkness if you move I won't be able to do my Super Spin properly, and I could miss." Eulogy wound up its throw, the ball in its palm spinning rapidly. Delaware dropped down next to them, and made sure Anna-Rose's throw would land. Alfonse didn't even think to look back. "Three… two… one…" Eulogy pitched the bomb, and it began to rotate incredibly rapidly, tearing through the air. Two seconds to detonation. One. At the very last moment, it slammed into Alfonse's back, before exploding and dealing great damage to his Stand, which didn't seem to be very durable at all.

Alfonse hit the floor hard, skidding a short way. Delaware walked up to him, smirking. "So, snob, are you gonna keep going around harassing my friends?" Alfonse looked up, tears clouding his scarred eyes.

"N-No… Never again."

Anna-Rose and Daisy looked to each other. Daisy was the first to vocalise what they were both thinking. "You'd assume he was the one who beat him, not us."
