After our fiery kiss Soryu escapes to the bedroom.

I collapse onto the couch my mind reeling.

I look at the clock on the wall...a quarter to midnight. If my hunch is right, Alexandra, will be out right now as a nameless vigilante.

I quickly pick up the phone where I had dropped it and pulling on my boots, which thankfully were by the door, I slip out into the night.

I dial Alex. It was midnight by now and I was standing underneath her apartment window, my mind coming up worst case scenarios that contained someone defeating her and ripping off her mask exposing us to the world.

Alex unlocks her window and peers down into the street below. "Scarlet Raven Knight! What the hell is your plan this time?"

She was wearing a black hoodie and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. And she had that same air about her that I was told I had. How could I be surprised? We are after all twins.

"Alex, push down the ladder so I can come up!" I call.

She is silent for a moment. Possibly deciding whether or not to leave me out there or to do ask I said.

She evidently chooses the latter because she climbs out of the window onto the fire escape and pushes down the ladder that led to her.

Once we are inside her well-sized apartment, I collapse onto her couch.

"Scarlet? What happened to you?" Alex asks panicked.

"Remember, I told you I was knifed." I yawn. Geez, I'm tired.

Alex smiles faintly. She knew that I rarely showed anyone my weaknesses. Like for example... me being overly worked and stressed.

"And where were you stabbed?" she asks going to her medical supplies bag.

I take my shirt and lift it up to show my bandaged wound.

"Shame shame Scarlet. You might be great at what you do, but you're not superhuman." Alex says teasingly.

She removes my bandage and clucks her tongue, and tosses it into the trash before beginning to stich back closed my wound.

"Hey wait a second...I thought that doctors couldn't mess with another's work?" Yeah my sister is a doctor. She works at a clinic part time, but the rest of the time she is patching me up.

"Well that's just an old stupid idea. What if the doctor who worked on you couldn't reach you quickly enough and you bled out?" Alex says keeping her eyes concentrated on her task. The lamp next to her was dim yet bright enough for Alex to work.

"And stop avoiding the question. How did you get stabbed?"

I let out a small laugh as she easily steers me back on topic. Ah Alex.

"I will only tell you after you're done." I really did not need for her to stop and for me to bleed all over her nice couch.

A few minutes later she stops and takes off her latex medical gloves and tosses them in the trash next to her.

"So doctor, will I live?" I joke my eyes closing on there own.

"Twelve stitches. Damn Scarlet."

I don't respond to her, simply because I didn't have the strength to. And I slip into a dreamless sleep.

Morning sunlight is the worst for when you have a hangover.

Opening my eyes, I see my sister is fast asleep in the armchair next to the couch. She must have watched me to make sure nothing happened during the night.

I stand up from the couch, pat my sister's head, and head into the kitchen.

After standing and looking out the window for a few minutes, I hear my sister begin to awaken.

"Scarlet? Are you here?" Alex calls.

I open the fridge and Alex grabs my hand as I am pulling out a carton of eggs, planning on making breakfast.

"Scarlet Raven Knight. What do you think you are doing?" Alex demands.

I arch an eyebrow, "So you don't want breakfast?"

Alex sighs and taking the carton from me, puts it back into the fridge, and instead picks up the phone speed dialing someone.

"Yes hi, this is Alex Knight. I need two breakfast orders. Okay thank you."

After ending the call to what I assume is the diner next door, Alex leads me back to her couch.

"Scarlet, at the rate you're going at, you won't be able to complete the bargain." Alex sadly states. If it had been anyone else, I would have laughed my ass off and left.

One, she was a doctor and my sister. Two I couldn't leave, because I feared that if I took two steps out the door I'd fall flat on my face.

"Yeah, I realized that Sis. Can I really help it if I get hurt?" I ask.

Alex rolls her eyes and rummages around in her medical bag, pulling out a syringe. It was filled with a pure gold-ish colored liquid.

"Uh, Alex. Is that..." I trail off not knowing for sure what it was.

She realizes what she was holding, quickly hides it back in her bag, and pulls out another one, this time quickly injecting it into my shoulder.

A numbing sensation quickly engulfs me, and I sigh happily.

"Pain medicine never felt better." I say moving my fingers to make sure that they hadn't fallen off.

Alex chuckles, "No kidding."

I look at her and order, "Make sure to escape and leave me if something happens, alright?"

She nods her head sadly. I had been telling her that ever since I became an assassin.

After a few moments of silence, I hear a knocking on the door.

I could tell that it was not the food Alex had ordered.

"Alex, hide behind the door." I hiss.

She nods.

I take a knife from the drawer where Alex had stored it for me to use if the need ever arose.

I hide the knife behind my back and nodding to Alex, I slowly open the door.
