Showtime
"Wanna tell me why you're in town?" Evyn asked Clint Barton while sitting in Freddie's diner.
Clint look at Evyn from his coffee mug and let out a sigh. "I'm looking for someone, and she's here in Capulet."
"Who exactly are you looking for?" Evyn asked leaning back.
"My half-sister." Clint stated leaning over to look at Evyn with narrowed eyes. "Nina Lowell."
"Lowell…" Evyn muttered looking down in thought. "You mean that big rich ass family where the old man died and left everything to his daughter?"
"No." Clint stated catching Evyn's attention. "She has no relations to that Lowell family. This one…is up your alley."
"Up…my alley?" Evyn blink. "Why not have Shield look into it?"
"I would, but I want to keep my agent life and my personal life separate." Clint stated.
Evyn look down at Clint's hand noting the ring tan on his left ring finger. "I see...well if she has anything to do that's up my alley. She may have gone to my brother's shop."
"Which is?"
Evyn opened her mouth to speak when the diner's door open, and Dante walked in towards his usual booth with a sigh. She smirked and looked at Clint. "Don't need to look too far."
Clint frowned and leaned over to see Dante talking with Lady, clearly Dante managed to piss her off. "I take it silver hair is your brother."
"Yup, but since Lady is there. Don't try go and talk to him." Evyn stated taking a sip of her coffee.
"Lady?" Clint frowned.
"A hunter, like us." Evyn explained. "Dante owes a large sum of debt to her. It just keeps on piling up."
Clint frowned. "I see…"
"Want to tell me how this is up my alley? What she has to do with demons?" Evyn asked with a raised eyebrow.
Clint sighed rubbing his head. "I don't know all the details, but I remember when we were kids and Nina's father came to take her away. Mom pulled a fight, but he said that it's Nina's turn to protect the pendent. It's her destiny to continue the Lowell family job."
Evyn hummed and placed the money on the table. "Stay in your hotel. I'll see what I can pull up." With that she turned and patted her twin's shoulder. "I heard about your new job."
"Who hasn't." Dante huffed putting the pendent back in his pocket.
"Apparently that owner's half-brother is here to find her." Evyn stated with a shrug.
"How is that my concern?"
"That pendent attracts fun." Evyn hummed looking at her twin. "I'm going to go find some information on that pendent, who exactly is this woman. Be careful."
"Aren't I always?" Dante smirked.
"Considering how your jacket doesn't have a huge hole in the back, you are." Evyn sighed and patted his shoulder once more and walked off.
Dante watch his twin leave and looked over at Clint who still sat there drinking his coffee. "Surprises, surprises."
"That's strange…" Evyn frowned looking at her computer screen. "I would think that the lovely internet would have some type of information." She hummed, when her apartment door sounded with a knock. Getting up slowly, she walked over to the door and opened it. "Barton, I thought I told you to stay in your hotel room."
"Would you believe me if I told you, I don't have one." Barton hummed looking at Evyn.
The young half-devil rolled her eyes and allowed the Shield agent in. "So you came to town without reserving a hotel room? What's next? Shield don't….Shield doesn't know you're here. Do they."
"Fury and Nat knows." Clint stated taking a seat at the small table in the kitchen. "What exactly are you doing?"
"Well, you gave me some info and mostly sob story." Evyn shrugged walking to her laptop. "So I'm searching for any information on a Lowell pendent. Anything out of the ordinary."
Clint nodded his head. "I see…I guess you can't find anything."
"No, I can't." Evyn sighed rubbing her neck. "You'd think there would be information." She look over at Clint. "Does Shield have any?
"No. I tried looking, but they don't have any. At least none that I could see." Clint stated.
Evyn let out a hum, then look up at the time. "It's getting late. You can sleep on the couch, it's a futon."
Clint nodded his head and got up. "Thanks."
Evyn shrugged. "No problem, I just don't want to get yelled at your wife."
That caused the agent to freeze, and look over at Evyn in horror. "How did you…"
"Ring tan." Evyn stated pointing at her own left ring finger. "It's there and fairly fresh. If you were divorce, then it would have melded in with the rest of your skin tone. But I can tell you keep your marriage life a secret." She smiled and winked at him. "I'll keep my mouth shut. Well, night Barton."
Clint just stared at her as the door closed behind her.
The next day, Evyn walked out of her room, fully dressed. She turned her head over to the futon where Clint was sleeping, with a raised eyebrow she went to the small kitchen where Clint sat. "Morning, listen I have to head to my brother's shop. You can stay here or explore."
Clint raised his eyebrow at her. "What's going on over there?"
"Making sure my brother doesn't die of over consumption of pizza." Evyn hummed putting her shoes on.
"What happened to your long coat anyways? After New York I haven't seen you wear it." Clint pointed out.
"It got ruined, along with my scarf." Evyn explained standing up checking to make sure she has her guns and sword on her. "So I just stick with this outfit instead. Less of a hassle." She opened her door. "See ya."
By the time that Evyn made it to the shop, Patty ran right past her throwing the door wide open. The young woman stood there with wide eyes before turning her head to look at the shop, and walk in. "Uh…why did Patty just leave?"
"Who knows." Dante shrugged looking at the pool table. "So you were right about the pendant bringing in fun."
"How about that." Evyn smiled, when the phone range.
Dante sighed and picked the phone up. "Devil May Cry."
Clint looked around the town thinking on his sister, right before a little girl that looks eerily like his sister ran right into him.
"I-I'm sorry!" The girl shouted and ran off.
The shield agent blinked and turned his head towards the girl catching a glimpse of the pendent. "No way…that pendant…hey! Wait!" With that the he ran after her.
"Patty thinks Nina is her mom?" Evyn frowned looking at Dante. "What gave her that idea?"
"I have no clue." Dante muttered leaning back against the car seat. "Morrison drive faster. We have to make it to the hotel."
Evyn frowned looking out the window in deep thought. "I hope for Patty's sake, if this woman is her mother. She would have a good reason for abandoning her, rather than it was too dangerous with this pendant."
Dante nodded his head deep in thought. "Yeah…I guess there's a difference between what a mother's love is. Some would abandon and some would give their lives…"
Evyn nodded her head slowly. "Yeah…"
"Where did that kid go?" Clint muttered looking around outside of the hotel. He turned his head in time to see Dante and Evyn run out of the car. "Evyn?"
"Barton? What the hell are you doing here?" Evyn asked looking at the agent.
"A girl with Nina's pendent ran into me. I followed her wondering how she got my sister's pendant, and I lost her around here." Barton stated.
"Damn it!" Evyn swore and chased after her twin,
"Evyn!" Clint hissed running after the half-devil. "What the hell is going on?"
"Just be a civilian for once!" Evyn hissed back following her brother past the front desk. "Did you have to threaten him, Dante!"
"We don't have time to be nice!" Dante stated. "Why is he following us?"
"He's Nina's brother, just deal with it!" Evyn growled.
The group made it to the room, only to see Nina tied to a chair with Patty kneeling next to her, and a large blue glowing portal. Clint stood there in shock, and gasp moving past the Sparda twins and to his sister.
"Nina!"
Nina look up in shock. "C-Clint?"
"Get them out Morrison." Evyn stated looking at the older male.
"Same with you Evyn." Dante stated looking at his twin.
"Hell no. I'm not leaving you." Evyn stated glaring at her twin brother.
"I need you to get everyone out of the hotel and call the girls." Dante stated looking at his twin. "You're convincing! Do it!" With that the middle of the Sparda triplets ran right into the middle of the circle and jump right through the portal.
Evyn hissed and ran to the nearest hotel employee. "Hey you! Get everyone out now! Spread the word."
The male looked at her in confusion. "Why should I-"
The hotel began to shake violently earning doors to open revealing confused hotel patrons. Evyn turned to the employee and held her gun out to him.
"You seen New York?" Evyn asked the employee, when he nodded she smirked. "Let's say that this will be another New York. So…"
That caused all the patrons with their door open to run out along with the employee passing the message. Evyn huffed and turned around to see Morrison, Nina, Patty, and Clint standing there.
"Just mention New York, and they'll listen." Evyn shrugged and ran off. "Clint you have a cell?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Let me use it! I need to call the girls! We're gonna have a big get together." Evyn smirked taking his phone and dialing the girls number. "I guess you don't have your bow on you?"
"How would I walk around with it not showing?!" Clint yelled.
"Just wondering!"
Evyn looked up at the blue light, and let out a sigh. "Well, shit."
"What's going on." Clint frowned.
"My god, it's over…" Nina muttered falling onto her knees. "The world as we know it is coming to an end."
"Nina…" Clint muttered looking at his sister. "They said the same thing during New York's invasion…we still won."
"But that was a delusional god and a bunch of aliens." Evyn stated looking up at the light, with her two guns out. "This is different."
Clint looked at her confused. "Different?"
Evyn nodded. "Yeah…different. Let's hope that Shield doesn't get involved."
"Why?"
"Cause they'll die in a second." Evyn bluntly stated getting a surprise gasp from Patty. "They may be highly trained agents for the unthinkable, but…there's no real prep for fighting this. Especially if you have a fear of death." She widen her eyes at a sudden sickening feeling that is all too familiar to her. "Dante…don't you dare…."
Well...let me know what you think and see you next time!
