☆BACKLOG☆ - Reborn and Bianchi history
Who: Reborn and Bianchi
What: Their first real mission together
When: Two years before the start of the game. ☆BACKLOG☆
Where: A place a lot like New York
To say Bianchi was nervous would be an understatement. It did not help that she'd been paired with Reborn for this mission and was still trying to decide if it was a test or someone just didn't think she could handle it on her own. None of that was making things easier. And she was pretty sure Reborn remembered her little obsession with him from when she was twelve. Her eyes darted sideways for a moment, the dark fedora hard to see but the orange band blazing even in the dim light. There was no way she'd let on she was on edge. Reborn wouldn't treat her differently and she didn't want someone she had great respect for to think any less of her. It was her job to prove herself regardless of what this evening was about.
Both their heels clicked on the sidewalk as they moved toward the building their target was supposedly inside. The expensive black Ferragamo shoes Reborn wore had a hollower sound from the wider heel. And Bianchi's made that higher pitched, focused sound of a three inch stiletto. Her arm was curled lightly at his elbow and they certainly made a fine looking couple as they approached the gallery, the lights from the building throwing the shadows crossways to those cast by the streetlights outside. The cars passing by threw their own shadows making light dance around dizzyingly. As they grew closer, the bouncer at the door was visible. The show was invitation only but of course they didn't forget that detail, Reborn had the invitation in his jacket, Bianchi's clutch was obviously too small to carry it without having to fold the fine paper. Her eyes lifted up the tower of the building and she took note of the windows that were lit. Then let her gaze fall back to the building looking for other exits. "Looks like quite the party." She murmured, voice lazy more because of effort on her part than any real state of calm. Her hand was just a little tight against Reborn's elbow. Madonna it was like having your teacher by your side while you took the SATs.

The building is dark and mostly empty, an old warehouse with bad lighting (just a bare bulb above the single table). There are two intact chairs and very little else in the way of actual furniture. The windows are large, the light flooding in from the street and passing cars just a bit eerie in the night.
Through some contact or other, their opposition had managed to get a hold of Barelli again. To be perfectly frank, Reborn was surprised that they even valued him enough to agree to a risky meeting for an antidote... But wheels within wheels, and likely they felt that there was no way that two foreign operatives working alone could manage to pay back the insult that had been laid down by the powerful local families. So they would be coming into this meeting overly confident and expecting acquiescence - perhaps just a little posturing, for the sake of pride, but we must make allowances for our foreign guests, shouldn't we? After all, Reborn and Bianchi were basically impotent in this little game that was being played out, the sacrificial pawns in the larger chess game; a shame about Marco's death, but he succeeded in setting up the blame. Our excuse is set, we can discard these already used pieces; kill them here or let them go, it doesn't matter which.
Reborn had been playing this game for much longer than any of them. Whether the leaders chose to come alone, as specified, or break the bargain by bringing their support, no one that mattered would be leaving the building alive.
The knock on the door was right on cue.

Bianchi's voice came out in a lazy purr as she felt her blood warm in excitement. "Shall I play hostess, Reborn?" She offered pleasantly. Offering to welcome the guests, reaching for a can of soda and twirling it on its rim her eyes never left the door but she could see him from the corner of her eye.
