Porpentina Goldstein or Tina sighs and stares up at the table where there are photographs of bodies as a few days ago. The murders started and everyone thought they were some followers of Gellert Grindelwald because most carcasses were No-Maj but there was something different on their bodies. Something like poison in their bodies and some scars but why did Newt have a such a strange reaction when he saw the scar over the body.
Newt Scamander, the man who had won her heart from the first moment he saw him with his green eyes, his shy smile but the most of all his creatures. The magicology of the MACUSA when Newt has been in London for six months as to fulfill the promise he had said to her to give her the book of personal but he had come back with a surprise for the two sisters Goldstein's as had informed them that he would permanently move to New Yor. The two sisters had proposed to stay with them for a few days but Newt had refused as he had planned to buy one Manor. Seraphina Picquerism had offered him a job and for their great pleasure he had agreed ,Tina thought if they would work together there will be a spark between them and felt but scan not understand why the magicology does not do anything as Queenie had been told her that he had feelings for her.
Next to Newt stood the real one Percival Graves ,healthy but more tough, distant and sarcastic than ever.
Following the revelation that Kellert Grindelwald was impersonating Percival Graves for some time, a formal investigation went underway for the location of the real Auros Percival Graves. It seems that no one suspected anything was different with Graves while he was being impersonated, due the fact that his behavior and icy demeanor was exactly the same. Graves was found trapped within his personal pensive reliving his worst memories. It seems Grindelwald had found a way to trap him in a never-ending loop of some of his worst experiences.
How Grindelwald managed to fool Graves into the trap in the first place was something Graves would take to his...grave. Anyway, Graves had a reputation to uphold, and opted to say that he was chasing Grindelwald and 'happened' to fall into the pensive, on accident. It was Tina who had found him, as she herself had fallen into the pensive while searching Grave's apartment—a combination of clumsiness, and Grave's decision to put his pensive on his closet floor next to a pile of clothes, just waiting to be tripped on.
In it, she gained a better understanding for who Graves was, and then found Graves and got him out. No one should have to relive their worst memories for that long, and Grindelwald had been impersonating Graves for well over three months. Grindelwald had not planned for a second person to be in the pensive and all Graves had to do was take Tina's hand and follow her out. At first, Graves was angry at Tina for doing the job of an Auros, but when he found out about her involvement in capturing Grindelwald, handling the Obscurial situation, and her reinstatement into the Auror division, he was both impressed and happy that she was the one to find him, though he didn't show it.
What followed was a mutual understanding between the two Aurors. Graves even started working with Tina from time to time, building a friendship. While Graves was already working again like nothing had ever happened and hadn't even mentioned his long capture, the Senior Aurors had been unable to move on. They were ashamed that Grindelwald, the evilest wizard of their time, had been able to capture their boss from right under their nose and none of them had noticed – that would have been enough to make the most prideful of wizards and witches humble and ashamed.
And now Newt with Tina, Graves and Picquery are located around a table with pictures of bodies and magical filters trying to find what it is that kills them. Newt looks at the symptoms from the filters but cannot find out what is causing it as Picquery with Tina and Graves was looking at the pictures of the bodies.
The corpses were missing the eyes or the tongue from another corpses were missing fingers and ears but the most horrible thing was that some bodies lacked the heart ,ιn the places where the bodies were found, there is a wall on the walls written with blood the word : Zaidi
Newt explained that it was a word of Swahili dialect which meant monster.
''No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness' 'said Picquery as look at the photos and Newt tried to hide the smile from his face but Tina saw and wondered what he may think.
"The persno`s paranoid, obsessed with power. The hunger constantly for what has been denied him. Be it love or revenge ''said Graves and the first day he took the case has thanks Lewis because Gellert Grindelwald is in prison and he cannot hurt him anymore
Newt just slammed his hand again to head as he laughed.'' I think I'm familiar with the type ''
Everyone look at them like he has crazy because they could not believe it that Newt will know a hard and perverted person like the one they try to catch.
''Well, why do not you ask him to help us? 'Asked Fontaine but was cautious with it as they could not believe that sweet and shy magicology would have contact with people.
''Even if I communicate with my friend will not accept as has a hatred for MACUSA and the Magic Ministry' 'said Newt and continues to look at his papers as he did not want to make an eye contact with them.
''Mister Scamander ,you will get all your friend in on this and if your friend don't answer to money, he will answer to Seraphina Picquery 's wand' 'said Picquery with a little bit of anger in her voice as she could not understand it would not hear the orders of President Seraphina.
Newt sigh as the President left the room together with Graves and he knew he would that this would not have a good end.
All the Aurors were there, all of them except Director Graves, because he almost never left his own office. Newt read a book about poisonous plants as the Richards with Lopez and some else Auros played with a niffler and a gold coin but the eyes of Tina was over to Newt was absorbed in the book to give her attention. The the woman sigh as she could not find ways to draw his attention, her sister told her she could seduce him but it will not be so low. Sometimes Tina was thinking if there was another woman in his life or met one of the many trips he had made but Queenie could not find anything in his mind.
Graves decided to get out of his office and found Newt to ask him if he has discovered anything to case but Fontaine cut him off saying. 'Newt, you have a visitor''
Newt threw the book on the floor and jumped from his chair running out of the cafeteria with the Auros, Tina and Graves after him as no one could understand what it was that made him run so fast and after one minute they found Newt stood in the middle of the reception room with a big smile over his face.
Τhey saw a woman standing on the stairs with crossed arms. The woman had luscious curls which looked like it was spun from snow . The beauty's skin was a flawless pearl white that if you looked close enough, it glittered like diamonds. She stood at 5'8 with an hour glass figure, a nicely rounded shaped ass incased in tight fitted jeans that looked like it was painted on like a second skin. Her breasts were perfectly proportioned, not too big and not too small. She wore a designer tight fitted t-shirt. All in all this woman was the embodiment of beauty and sin with her looks and she knew it.
"She looks so sexy and fit!" squealed Fontaine when he saw the stranger, to which most of MACUSA's male population agreed to.
"Hey, Newt." She said. A huge smile spread out on Newt's face.
Newt flung his arms around woman's waist and squeezed hard. The woman wasted no time in wrapping her own arms tightly around Newt's waist.
"I've missed you." She told him as they pulled back from the hug.
"I missed you too Nemesis." said Newt while the head of Tina was about to explode from jealousy.
Newt hates hungs or comfortable with another person. Usually, New refrained from physical contact with , he was clinging tightly to this woman. She wondered if Newt liked her as more than a friend. There was also the fact that the woman was clinging to Newt as tightly as Newt was clinging to her. She would have to keep her eye on them.
Nemesis takes out her gun, pointing it towards the blone woman as the Aurors froze completely. All of them, Tina, Graves but not Newt. All were utterly still. Newt noticed that from the moment the gun had been drawn, Nemesis had a cold, calculating look had replaced her formerly happened expression.
''If you ever tried to read my mind again , I will rip your eyes from your head''The woman growled.
Quinine was terrified and could not speak, Tina was right to say that she must to stop to reads the thought of someone but the woman it was a mystery for her and everyone since they did not know about the personal life of Newt and about the fact that the arrival of the woman had a huge smile on his face but brought a huge wave of jealousy from her sister with some frightening thoughts to kill the unknown woman. But who believed that this woman had a gun with her and did not step down even when there are so many wands to direct the neck of.
''I became clear? 'Asked Nemesis again but more intense this time.
''Yes' 'replied the blonde witch with a little voice and a smile appeared in the face of the woman.
''Good' 'She said and put her weapon away and turned at Newt. ''My dear Fido, can you explain why yesterday evening an owl came through my window and sat on the bed and staring at me while I had sex?''
''Well...''
''What is happening here?''
Everyone turned to sees Seraphine standing at the top of the stairs and look towards them as if it was a child who broke her favorite vase mom and for that all the Auros they went to their office leaving Nemesis ,Newt and the Goldstein's sister alone to face the two scary people or three with Nemesis.
''Madam President, I'm sorry for the upset, but I've had an important guest' 'said Newt as look at Nemesis with a smile.
The Madam President look at the woman standing beside him, she was hard features and an aura of chaos and destruction with her eyes not having any emotion in them but what made her great impression was that Newt knew such a person as this woman with weapons and was ready to shoot some in front of all the people.
''Madam President, I would like you to meet...''Newt said.
"I can introduce myself, Fido," Nemesis interrupted. 'Nemesis Castello, Bounty Hunter and a good friend of Fido''
''Madam President and thank you that you accepted to help us' 'said President as they shake their hands and Newt looked at the floor to avoid the hunter's eye.
''What? 'She growled, pulling away her as she glared at Newt.
''Now' 'said Nemesis as look at Newt. 'Can you explain why I'm here?''
''Miss Castello why do not we go to my office for some explain' 'said the President and the hunter followed her to her office ,when they heard the door to shut everyone the Auras run to Newt for some information.
''She's beauty, she's grace, she's will punch you in the face' 'The first words of Newt before flood him with questions.
''Who she is?''
''Is she single ?''
''Can I have the address of her house?''
''QUIET' 'said Percival Graves and no one dared to speak after this as they know the temper of the man.''You can do some questions but do not drown the poor boy''
But the truth was that Graves wanted to learn about this woman as he did not know her and he would shoot her with her own weapon as Graves cannot believe the words and behavior of woman. A woman of her time would never speak this way to a man or she would have a gun with her but Graves realized that it would cause him trouble in his calm life and he does not want anything else.
'" I met her while I was travailing around Asia and Romania...''Newt said and a wave of jealousy passed through stomach of Tina, seeing how much he loved talking about the woman and no one he has heard him talk so passionately about something except his animals...
'ΒUT she is rates, menacing ,downright evil ,beautiful ,passionate ,fierce ,dangerous and for that all of you must be away from her or you will miss an important part of our anatomy' 'said Newt and everyone they laughed at the words of the man as they thought he was over, but the laughter disappeared when they saw the seriousness in his eyes.
''Guys this is not a joke because I have seen her torture a man or to kill someone without hesitation and one time someone loss his eye because he gripped her ass.''He said and laughing as he remembers the trip he had been to Romania to visit her and he had been at a bar for drinks with the result Nemesis get involved in a fight and she kicked their ass.
As Newt continued to explain a woman came out of a desk hitting the door behind her with anger, everyone saw the woman approaching had to run back to their offices leaving Newt alone to deal with her wrath.
''Nemesis...''Newt trailed off when he saw her face.
''Why you looking at me like you want to rip my head off? 'Newt questioned warily.
''You better start talking or will kill you in your sleep' 'She said voice dripping with venom, stepping aside.
Newt looked at the rolls in his pocket and said as he walked away from the angry woman. ''I have been slow for a job and have to feed to...''
''Rose are red, shit is brown. Shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down' 'yelled the woman and even Graves take a step back. She sat in a chair and put his feet on the table as well gestured the younger man to start talking, Newt explained that in the beginning people disappeared and then appeared dead in different parts of Newt York but in crowded places, that some of the bodies are missing parts of their anatomy and with that the hunter started to become nervous and become worst when Newt said about the Swahili dialect found on the wall with blood.
Graves noticed the woman's nervousness and tried to understand why she was acting this way but when he heard her voice there was no trace of nervousness. 'You know what that sound like? Not my problem''
Newt sighed and hit his head on the table as well he know how stubborn is this woman and no one or everything he would not change her mind unless the woman has something to gain and for this case it is revenge. The magicology was ready to try to convince her to help but the president speak.
''You said that you're a Bounty Hunter and I want to hire you' 'The president was offered as he knew that a people of the shadow like her would not deny the money but her answer surprised her
''It's not about money ,it's about to denuding a massage' 'said the hunter as she know what chaos will be created if they learns that she works with MACUSA and many clients they will be removed from her because it will have to do according to the law and she hated rules.
''What kind of massage? 'Asked Graves with curiosity as has met people like her and never heard anyone deny the money about a massage.
''Your mouth. Close that shit''said Nemesis and if the looks can kill the man would be dead.'' And now I have to go''
''Not a people person are you Nemesis? 'Asked Newt as Nemesis smiled to him with a real smile.
''Nonsense, I love people' 'the hunter replied.
Newt looked around and then at the hunter as wanted to go along with his friend to win the time they had lost but he fell on the floor by saying.'' Nemesis what-''
The hunter turned when she heard a noise from her back to see the red-haired man falling on the floor.
''Ah gravity, thou art a heartless, bitch''
Ηer laughter echoed inside the building as she shook her hips to get out of the building.
Nemesis came back out of her room just as he was hanging up, top two buttons of her shirt undone and a familiar piece of material clutched in her neck, a questioning look in her face.
"Neme-.."
"Can—" She interrupts him, stopping her pacing and catching his eyes for a moment. "Can I have a drink?"
Newt nods and fixes them both a glass of scotch while Nemesis continues to pace through Newt's living room, from the front end of the kitchen isle to the sofa and back. Newt can hear how Nemesis takes a shuddering breath every now and then and from the corners of his eyes he can see that she runs her fingers through her already pretty disheveled hair time and time again. He sets the decanter down, takes a deep breath and turns around, a glass in each hand.
"Here," he says as he places one glass onto the coffee table in front of the leather chair. "Drink."
Nemesis stops dead in her tracks and watches Newt walk around the coffee table and sit down onto the couch. Her eyes are as wide as saucers and her mouth is slightly open. "Yeah," she murmurs when Newt is settled and leans back against the backrest. "Yeah."
"Tell me what's wrong."he asked quietly, taking her hand in his.
"I am a monster."
There it was. Newt sighed, holding on tight to his friend.
"M'sorry Nemesis, that's just- that's not true ."
"Am I just like my brother?"
Nemesis squirmed again and Newt let her readjust to lean against the couch. Newt reached for a blanket and wrapped it around his friend's shoulders.
"Get it out Nemesis."
"I was in France ... there- there- there was a kid... I kil I kil..."
"Oh Nemesis, I don't-"
"It is my job but they were just kids..."
Newt sat back, not touching Nemesis. When she got like this sometimes it was best to just let her decompress and sort out where her mind was at.
"I'm trying to convince my self that I am not my brother but... but am I just as bad as him? Newt, I murdered a ten year old boy."
Newt remained silent and Nemesis slammed her fist into the table, tears beginning to stream down her face.
"I'm just as bad as him. That poor kid had no way to defend himself, and these kids we're finding... they're completely defenceless."
Nemesis shoved herself back against the coffee table, head falling back when she burst into sobs. Hard, heaving sobs that made Newt want to go back in time and stop Nemesis from ever enlisting. He reached out a hand and was surprised when Nemesis turned to bury his head into Newt's chest. He held the back of Nemesis' neck, using his thumb to draw soothing circles and making gentle hushing noises.
"I'm a monster, Fido. I'm a child-murdering monster."
"No, Nemessi, you're not."
Newt pulled Nemesi to meet his eyes but Nemesis focused on her lap, tears falling. Newt sighed, and pulled her into a hug again.
"You are not a monster Nemesis. You're a human being. You were medically discharged woman; that happens sometimes. You're a survivor and I'm sorry that by being a survivor you're also suffering from things you'll probably never tell me about."
Nemesis sniffed, and after a minute she got up from the sofa. She swiped away the tears nodding awkwardly.
"You are amazing, "Nemesis said putting a hand on his cheek.
Do you like somebody?" Nemesis asked next.
"Uhhh..." Newt looked away.
Nemesis sighed and smirked. " It is her, isn't it?"
"Who?" Newt asked quickly.
"Goldstein"She she replied.
"What!? No... no... There is no way I am having a crush on her." He said trying not to be guilty.
Nemesis made a weird face like 'Oh Yeah, right'.
Newt sighed. "Fine...you're right. I like her."
He replied and Nemesis giggled. Newt exhales and rubs his eyes with one hand."She's just... beautiful, first of all, tall glass of water and all that. But she's confident, she's damn smart, she's sweet and I just... I don't know what the Merlin to do with myself,"
Nemesis was livid."Roses are red, violets are blue. Guess what, my bed has room for two."
"Nemesis" Newt cries.
"Twinkle twinkle little star, we can do it in my car."
" Shut up"He murmured.
"Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, I can make you scream."
Newt gave Nemesis a half-amused half insulted look and threw a pillow at her.
