Raven was at the moment having a severe headache. There wasn't really a good place for her to convert into a base/workshop/home in the city of Trifas. At all. She had a rather large trolley bag with her that contained most of her previous workshop/base/homes contents. Including the bathtub and bed. To make her headache even worse, she and Jack had somehow gotten themselves separated, meaning that she didn't just have to find a place to get a workshop/base set up, but also find Jack, who could be anywhere in the city.
"*sigh* perfect. Just perfect. Where the hell did that adorable little rascal of a little sister disappear to?" Wondered Raven out loud to herself while massaging her temples with her free hand. Seriously, where the hell was Jack anyway?
Speaking of the little serial killer, she had just castrated a creepy old man in the alley beneath her, by stabbing said creepy old man in the crotch, and was walking in her big sisters general direction based off of the magical connection the two of them shared. The reason she even castrated the guy in the first place? An instruction from Raven.
"If someone that's significantly older than what you are physically tries to grab and take you away, stab 'em in between the legs, then run!" Echoed Raven's voice in Jack's head, remembering the instructions she had given Jack in case she was out scouting or got separated from her big sister. As Jack started to pick up speed as she leapt from rooftop to rooftop, she put on a pair of black and gold colored wireless headphones and started playing music in 'em through a small music player in her pocket, midair. Without interrupting her flow, which eventually synchronized with the beat of the music. And said music was the theme song, Black + White, from the anime adaptation of the Japanese fantasy comedy, Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They? There was a particular show whose soundtrack, or intro at the very least, was included on the music player Jack was listening to. Raven had claimed that the show wasn't appropriate for someone at Jack's age to watch. And that shows title was Highschool DxD, a show that Raven was apparently watching, mostly because of its story, the eye candy and various forms to potentially imitate. Jack didn't really understand nor care for why her big sister didn't want her to watch that particular show since she preferred cartoons and light hearted comedies over whatever made shows like Highschool DxD inappropriate for her to watch.
"Jack! Where the hell are you!?" Shouted Raven on her end of their telepathic connection.
"On a rooftop on our way to you big sis." Answered Jack while closing her right eye as if wincing at the volume of Raven's shout.
"Phew. Thank Hekate that you're alright."
"Any luck on finding us a new place to call home?"
"I really wish I could say yes to that, but I'd be lying if I did. So no. No luck as of yet. By the way, why can I hear music on your end? I thought I was the one carrying the music player. Did you pick it out of my pocket?"
"… maybe?"
"Whatever. We'll try and find a good place to set up shop once the two of us rendezvous."
"Ron-the-what-now?"
"Rendezvous. It basically means meeting up."
"Oh. So that's what that word means. In that case, estimated time of Ron-whatever-his-name-is, a few minutes. Give or take." Said Jack over the telepathic link in a somewhat joking tone, earning a snicker from Raven on the other end.
"Heh. See ya soon Jack, and try not to kill anyone on your way." Said Raven on her end while chuckling.
About two hours later, Jack landed on a rooftop with an overview of the aftermath of what appeared to have been a one-sided beatdown of a street fight. With her big sister standing next to a knocked out thug, who despite being knocked out was grimacing in pain while holding his crotch, making it obvious that Raven had definitely kicked him there (multiple times, probably), while wearing boots made of dragon scales, which were as hard and durable as diamond. Simply shrugging at the scene, Jack jumped off the rooftop and into an alley before cheerfully skipping up to and giving her big sister a hug once she reached her.
"There you are! I was worried for you, ya little rascal." Exclaimed Raven while hugging Jack back. While this was going on, a police officer stepped up to Raven.
"Eh-hem." Exclaimed the cop, catching the attention of the two sisters, causing the older one to turn around to face him.
"Yes?"
"Mind explaining why the men surrounding us are unconscious and grimacing in pain while holding their crotches?" Asked the cop, shuddering and wincing himself at the last part.
"I can assure you, it was in self defense… mostly. These bozos hoped to get themselves fresh. Naturally I retaliated. A few kicks where the sun doesn't shine and they're passed out from the pain." Explained Raven without a single ounce or even a hint of shame or regret in her voice. "That really seemed to hurt… not that I would know, never been on the receiving end. But I do know that these boots aren't exactly soft."
"Boots made of what appears to be hardened leather, even if they're low heeled… ouch. You're gonna have to follow me to the station… for now at least."
A few hours later, Raven left the police station, with little Jack in toe, heading out in search for a (preferably) abandoned building to convert into a usable base of operations, preferably for the remaining duration of the Greater Grail War. Near the break of twilight, the sisters found the perfect building for them to set up shop in. It was mostly intact but it was clear that nobody actually used the building, since it was slightly run down. Upon seeing the grin that formed itself on Raven's face (and through a quick brainscan), Jack quickly figured out that her big sister was scheming something.
"What are you planning big sis? That face of yours is creeping us out." Exclaimed Jack, snapping Raven out of her scheming trance.
"Oh! Sorry for that. What I'm planning is to not only try and create a bounded field to keep people away… on second thought, I think putting its location under Fidelius with myself as secret-keeper will be enough." Explained Raven, more to herself out loud than to Jack. Upon casting the said spell, Fidelius, the Secret-Sealing Charm, Raven made a quick test to see if it worked, by asking Jack for the location of the building. It didn't seem to work at first, since Jack happily just pointed her finger at the building, but Raven then remembered that Jack was basically immune to most forms of attacks and magic that targeted the mind.
It took the two of them a while to do it, but eventually they finally managed to get their new workshop/base/home set up… mostly. The only thing that Raven hadn't done yet was hijacking the plumbing in order to get the bathtub set up… but that was something she could do at a later point in time, so for now, she'll just go to sleep along with Jack.
