Ben and Nik

[avenges]

Ben was once a vice cop who did what he had to so he could protect those on the street and in homes where children weren't looked after. Niklaus started on a drug task force where he had a bad habit of being around dealers who found themselves broken and busted when they went too near schools.

The two ran into one another on a case when both were undercover on two cases that became one. It had been the start of a beautiful partnership.

Eventually they were transferred to a private taskforce where the Chief of Police though their new captain could keep them under control. At least a little.

It didn't work though.

Perps that wiggled their way out of a conviction weren't seen again. People they couldn't make a case against were suddenly turning themselves in. When they were targeted for the Ravens, their captain had given them an ultimatum. Retired of prosecution. They chose the third option.

It's been a year. They've been through conditioning and medical procedures and chemical transformations to turn them into the ultimate soldiers. Though it hadn't been hard. Neither had come with a conscience. Neither knew what fear was and the thrived on pain. They were made for this program, even before the program remade them.

You didn't even think about a tarp?

Did you even plan for this?< Obviously not because without me./span>

[princedelenfer]

I didn't expect to take him out here.

But he'd just grabbed a boy. I wasn't leaving him alive.

[avenges]

... fucking hell.

Where's the kid?

[princedelenfer]

Safe. His Mother is on her way to pick him up.

Obviously away from the dead body.

[avenges]

I love you felt the need to tell me that as if I thought anything else.

[ He might give him hell but he trusts him with taking care of kids above all else. ]

Hope you didn't make it quick.

[princedelenfer]

Fuck no.

I drew it out as long as I possibly could. He was pathetic.

They break so easily.

[avenges]

Of course they do, or they wouldn't be targeting children.

I've got your location and on my way.

[princedelenfer]

You have my appreciation.

Do you still have that bag in your trunk? I will need a change of clothes.

[avenges]

Of course. Someone has to take care of you.

Bringing lye as well if you need it for the body.

[princedelenfer]

I loath being unprepared but I wasn't about to let him slip away from me with that kid.

Good. Lye will be helpful.

[avenges]

Things happen and you have to. I get it.

Anyone else that might come looking for him we have to deal with?

[princedelenfer]

From what I can find so far, no.

No friends and no family left.

[avenges]

I guess that's a good thing.

About 20 out. All clear for me to come in?

[princedelenfer]

One less thing to worry about.

All clear.

After this, let's get burgers.

[avenges]

It isn't long before a car comes down the lane. A nondescript black sedan, except that it has no make or model and the engine under the hood is beyond what you might buy with a four door car.

A nearly pitch black window rolls down.

Nik offers a smile.

"Need a ride?"

Even as he asks, he gets out of the car and goes around to get a container of lye from the trunk.

[princedelenfer]

"My hero," Ben says with a little smirk, his hands shoved in his pockets.

"You have the tarp as well," he asks walking to the trunk with him and grabbing the bag they kept with a change of clothes, just in case.

Usually, he was a little more methodical about his kills. Or at the very least, he took them to a place where clean up was a bit more of a breeze.

This? Significantly less so.

[avenges]

He stood over the open trunk, considering. Within was a lot of things they might use, including a shovel and other items.

"I do, but do you want to wrap them or just dig us a shallow grave here and dump in the lye and order a planting of endangered plants?"

[princedelenfer]

He considered the options. “The second,” he says, nodding once. “It’s perfect.”

Though he expected nothing less from Nik. He reached in for the shovel and an empty bag to place his clothes onto once they were done.

[avenges]

"I watched for roadkill on the way but didn't pan out. A body on top of a body is always the best."

So if a dog was brought in and alerted, it would end the search. He liked animals more than people though, so if he couldn't find one already gone, he wasn't making it happen.

He shrugs out of his coat, moving to get out a folding shovel to help out. No reason to make it take more time than it should. He slide into a yellow reflective vest he keeps in the trunk as well, making it look like they were on a road crew.

[princedelenfer]

"That's disappointing," Ben says but he wasn't about to make the body of an animal appear. Like Nik, he found animals to be better than 98% of people on any given day so he was not likely to go make a body happen.

"How soon can we get endangered plants delivered and planted," he asks, shrugging on one of the vests and leading Nik to the body.

[avenges]

"Guess we can't have everything we want," he says with a long, drawn out sigh and a smirk even as they got closer to the body.

"I know someone about an hour out or so. By the end of the weekend it will look like they've always been there. Something native and protected. I've found it's a useful friend to have around here."

[princedelenfer]

"We could but requires something like precognition which has, despite my best efforts and that of the government, eluded me," Ben says dryly but with a little smirk.

He nods when Nik says he has someone. "Great. That is a very useful someone to know about," he agrees and stops when they get to the body of the mutilated man. Adonis had not gone easy on him but any person who went after children or animals got the brunt of his anger.

[avenges]

"You would think with all they put is through it might have given us that. Wasn't that what the government was trying to do in the Seventies?"

Which he knew was the truth, and he hadn't thought it was entirely impossible.

Nik stares at the body for a long moment, head canting to one side. "Wow, you had fun without me, didn't you?"

[princedelenfer]

"They were," he agrees. "Some were more successful than others." Or so he's heard through the 'unofficial' grapevine.

Adonis leans against the shovel as he stares at the body with a flat expression. "I would have called you but you were in that meeting... I didn't need to be yelled at yet again for taking matters in my own hands if they got wind of it."

[avenges]

"And yet you have no precognition. I feel you were cheated," he teases, but he glances at him with a small smile even as they work.

He nods though at that, pausing to look at Ben where he stands.

"They won't know a thing," he says, giving him a hard look, promising with that look. "We'll take care of it. Besides, if we're not getting yelled at, are we doing anything right?"
