☆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.

Reborn met the eyes of each and every person sitting at the table, his expression nonchalant. They were all tense, dealing with the strange situation and unfamiliar operatives, but they were also confident in their own ability. How wrong they were; he would just have to strengthen that incorrect assessment. "Women," he said with an elaborate shrug, and set his near-empty can of soda down while glancing at Bianchi for her signal, though it looked completely natural. "Unfortunately we don't have the facilities to allow her to primp in private here. We are just visiting, after all," he said with the very slightest emphasis. "We had to make do."

One by one, those around the table relax; how foolish of them to be worried about anything happening. Hadn't their security teams cleared the building before they'd even arrived? They had people posted everywhere; no matter what happened, these two wouldn't be able to escape. There weren't any air ducts for things to be piped in from, and they'd even remembered enough to refuse anything offered by the Poison Scorpion!

"Really, darling," he said softly, still watching Bianchi, "couldn't that have waited until later? We do have guests to deal with."

Bianchi set her compact down and smiled sweetly at Reborn. "There is always time to look our best, Reborn. Don't mind me, I believe you had some things you wished to express to our colleagues here." Her compact was put away surreptitiously. It was important for these men to know what they'd done, after all. It was only polite to give them opportunity to repent for their sins.

She patted her hair lightly and sighed. "Very well, when you are finished speaking with the men I will resume." She crossed her legs and sat back waiting patiently, just a woman concerned with her appearance of course. Silly thing. It was a miracle she ever managed a hit herself.
