Making this clear now, the narrative switches between Taylor being referred to as Mordred and Kenta as Lung, it's on purpose to emphasize that to them they are both the same person, just a writers choice deal, enjoy!

Taylor was not in a good mood.

Well, okay, that was a misnomer, she was actually in a rather giddy mood.

Thanks to happenstance she had acquired an adorable limpet whose snark would fit quite well with her and her friends, who had also managed to confirm that Lisa was actually into her.

The downside, Lisa was into her, and Taylor and the Shade of Mordred in her head didn't really know what to do about it.

Thank you Emma for destroying any chance for her to actually have the option of practicing on the dating scene, bitch.

Regardless, after making out with her now girlfriend (ignore the bashful blushing and girlish giggling at the simple thought of someone finding her attractive enough to do that!) for a time Taylor managed to extricate herself from the situation and quickly decided to take decisive action.

It was time to end Coil.

Dinah and Lisa had a Thinker Thinkout (It's a thing) and managed to nail down who Coil really was, and his power set.

Taylor was unimpressed with the end result, and so was Alec.

Said asshole bestie flatly stated, "So wait, he's a PRT mole and he gets away with it by save scumming? That's his fucking power? Seriously on that note does the PRT not have MRI scans? I thought their entire purpose was to police capes, aren't there those...the hell was it called. Ah, checks and balances and shit?"

Lisa looked...agitated as she began pacing about the room, all while Dinah rubbed her temples muttering colorful metaphors to herself.

Eventually Lisa paused mid step, tilted her head to the side, and broke out laughing.

The laughter petered off, then she muttered out "We can use this."

Taylor nodded slowly, "Okay, how?"

She grinned that grin that made Taylor want to both snog her senseless and bitch slap her incoherent.

"Taylor, who is your best friend?"

"Err, not counting you, probably Alec?"

He cracked his knuckles while flippantly stating, "I am irresistibly adorable after all."

Dinah giggled a bit, but Lisa's grin turned into something rather, hmm... unsettling.

"No, the other best friend who happens to enjoy the same hobbies as you."

Wait, what? She really didn't have hobbies other than reading, gaming with Alec, hanging out with Lisa, and occasionally throwing down with...oh

Eyes widening Taylor muttered out, "Oh...OH!"

Lisa's grin just reached absolutely adorably smug foxy levels.

The bus ride into ABB territory was thankfully problem free, other than the fact that Taylor had to keep an eye out for more potential kidnappers as Lisa tried to keep Dinah occupied. That, and Alec kept on whispering, "Are we there yet?," the entire time.

Why had she agreed to bring him along again? Ugh...

Getting off at their stop they had to walk a few blocks to a rather glitzy bar slash casino, Lisa groaned as she read the "Pardon Our Mess, Under Construction," sign.

Sorry babe, time to own up to what you did.

The doorman tried to stop them but in an instant flow of green light Clarent manifested in Taylor's hand aimed at the mans throat. He gulped, stepped aside, and Mordred winked as her sword faded away.

Making their way through the casino Taylor looked around then eventually perked up as she found her target.

Approaching the table in question she placed her hands on her hips and cheerfully stated, "Kenta! How's it going bro?"

The tattooed Asian mass of muscles took a drag from his cigarette, placed his cards down effectively dismissing the other players at the poker table, and met Mordred's gaze evenly.

"Taylor," glancing to her hand now intertwined with Lisa's, he scoffed while shaking his head, "Not your girlfriend, right."

Dropping the Mordred persona a moment she leaned forward and muttered, "Shutty, it's a recent development. Also she's here to apologize then I'm going to make you a business offer."

Lung sighed, glanced at Dinah and Alec, then raised a quizzical brow, at that Taylor shrugged, "The girls part of the over all problem, pretty boy just wants to stoke the flames of chaos. Is it cool if we take a seat?"

Sighing, Lung relented, "Fine, but this better be good."

Taking her seat she threw her arm around Lisa while cheerfully stating, "Okay, best girl is going to apologize now, Lisa?"

Her girlfriend squirmed for a few moments, then sighed as she muttered out, "I'm sorry we robbed your casino. In my defense I didn't want to do it, I was ordered by my boss..."

He took a drag from his cigarette then flatly stated, "Really?"

At that Lisa actually met his gaze and smirked, "Well, I did want to do it to prove I could, but yeah it really wasn't my plan."

Exhaling he stared at the group of teens for a time then shook his head, "Apologies are just words, and words are nothing but wind. They do not give back the money nor more importantly the respect I have lost."

Alec then chipped in his two cents, "That's why we're here oh most incendiary one."

Kenta stared at him for a time then flatly stated, "Who are you anyway?"

"Anyway," Lisa threw out as she continued on completely ignoring the question, "Regardless, my boss? Hired me at gunpoint. I had two options, work for Coil, or die from lead poisoning. The kid right here?" At that she ruffled Dinah's hair which caused her to shoot the older thinker a miffed look, "Coil tried to kidnap her so he could hook her on drugs and use her ability like a magic eight ball, sent a full squad of mall ninja mercs in broad daylight to nab her."

Lung looked irritated at that, "That is...flagrantly violating the rules..."

Taylor shrugged, "The way his power works he thinks he's invincible, so the rules are other peoples problems, not his. Plus I killed them all so there is that as well."

He snorted, "Ah, no doubt you did. Still, ugh, one of those idiots. What is his power anyway?"

Alec chirped out, "Save scumming," and at that Kenta just looked confused while Lisa rolled her eyes.

Sighing she replied, "He runs alternate timeline simulations, two at a time. Shit goes south in one, he drops it, and continues on in the other one. He says he has the power to control probability like the arrogant bastard that he is, lording how brilliant and all seeing he is, but he really isn't"

Kenta stroked his chin a moment, then snorted, "It is not wisdom, it is simply running head first into the same wall over and over again until you find a crack to break through. Yes that is not wisdom, that is throwing shit at the wall until something works and no one is aware of your constant failures."

Dinah spoke up for the first time muttering, "The snake man thinks he is invincible..."

Taylor threw an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close as the gangster across from her tilted his head in contemplation.

"Taylor, Mordred, what is the girl's power that this coward covets so much?"

She rubbed Dinah's back while lightly muttering, "Ask her any question and she can give you the percentage point answers. To anything."

Lung's eyes widened at that as he leaned back muttering out, "Fuck."

There was silence for a time, then Lisa chirped out, "Coil, my 'boss' is also the one who ordered us to rob you. He has a literal Bond villain bunker, a fuck ton of mercenaries, and is playing the PRT like a low key puppet master. You help us take him out, hit all of his holdings at once, and we can take the shit stain out in one fell swoop. Dinah and I are free, you reclaim your lost pride, and we make the PRT look pathetic solving a problem they didn't even know they had. After going public about it of course."

Lung lit another cigarette, took a drag, then met Mordred's gaze evenly, "If he can do this, 'save scum,' thing than how can we defeat him?"

Taylor grinned widely at that, "I'm immune to Thinkers, but if you ask Dinah a question about a situation I could be involved in, but not directly related to me, she can work around it."

He turned his gaze to the little girl, then asked, "May I question you?"

She gulped loudly, then nodded while saying, "Please no more than three, my head hurts already."

He paused and thought a moment, then asked a question, "What is the likelihood that Armsmaster could defeat me in single combat?"

That was a random one, Dinah paused for a moment then stated, "4.66%"

Kenta looked quite pleased by that answer, then asked, "What is the likelihood my organization can take Coil out at this moment?"

Wincing she muttered, "2.56%."

He growled at that, then nodded, "What is the chance of myself and," he glanced to Taylor, "certain allies that will remain undisclosed being able to take Coil down?"

Dinah grinned at that, "100% chance a fucker gets fucked."

Lung grinned in return, glanced to Taylor, and nodded, "Alright, I'm in."
