Mark Jasin, a mean-looking dirty-blonde man, was currently loading his van with... goods. Of course, a sensitive operation like this required a place without surveillance cameras and witnesses so he was in an empty dark alleyway. Despite the Magician Families not putting much stock in the technology, they kept up with its advancements in the world, if only to know how to avoid being found out. Every year, more and more spells that obscured even the newest surveillance technology came out... but Mark…-

"You are deleting yourself from the world's databases?" Tom asked, a bit stupefied as he watched Natasha quick typing on the keyboard, hacking systems that would give even hardcore hackers a stop. When he joked that she could become the best computer wizard for him, he didn't really think she would actually do it. That's not how jokes were supposed to work. Yet, apparently, his girl took his joke too seriously. "Yeah. The mind-enhancing spells you gave me are just that incredible." Natasha…

Time slowly passed and weeks went by as Tom focused on his new research. The only two usable things he had when it came to prospects of cheating the system to get stronger were the knowledge of the Evil Pieces... which was a dead end since it was usable to enhance devils but it wouldn't work much for humans unless they were turned into the devils first, and then there were the Old Contracts. It was plainly obvious which of them had more potential to work in Tom's circumstances. A contract in which a…

Tom groggily opened his eyes, a sweet yawn involuntarily tearing itself out of his mouth as he felt pleasantly warm and well-rested all over. He slept like a baby last night. His eyes started to slowly adjust, the sleep slowly seeping out of them, and Tom had to blink in stupefied silence as his brain tried to register what he was seeing. A mane of long crimson red hair sprouting from his chest area, covering his whole torso... 'Now that I think about it, my chest is a bit heavy...' Tom offhandedly…

It was four hours later that Sarael finally left Tom's office, whistling happily as he teleported back to hell under Tom's unamused glare. Sighing, Tom stood up and left his office. He felt too tired to do paperwork or go back to his research. In his humble opinion, this meeting earned him a day off. Dealing with Sarael was always so exhausting. As he arrived in the living room, he noticed Natasha sitting on the couch and wearing a baggy comfortable black hoodie with her legs up, hugging them to her…

Sarael appeared on a blue magic circle in Tom's office with his arms spread out as he dramatically exclaimed, "I have arrived!" When he heard no applause, he furrowed his eyebrows and looked around, only to spot the unamused Tom staring at him in mild irritation... which instantly made his day... but there was also a new pair of flabbergasted emerald eyes in the room. Sarael's attention was drawn to the owner of these enchanting eyes and he curiously tilted his head while giving her a once over as he…

Natasha steeled her nerves and forcefully calmed herself with a deep breath, putting a confident yet easy-going smile on her face as her eyes trailed around Clint in order to not alert his instincts by directly staring at him. 'Time to face the music.' Natasha thought with a slight worry creeping into her mind but as soon as it came, she quickly pushed it away. Clint didn't see her yet. The street was too crowded for that and he was currently too preoccupied with asking some irritated stranger for…

"You called, Director?" Clint Barton asked as he walked into Fury's office. Just earlier today he got a notice that the man wanted to see him, which didn't make Clint happy at all. It was his vacation and he was spending it with his family. For a while now Clint was noticing how disgruntled Natasha, the young Russian spy he managed to convince to change sides, was slowly getting so he decided to introduce her to Laura in hopes the girls would hit it off, making Natasha more at ease. He felt a bit…

"I can't." Natasha solemnly spoke, "If I betray SHIELD I will be hunted down and-" "And you forgot the part where I can use magic." Tom interrupted her, causing her to abruptly spring back up into a sitting position and look at him weirdly... with just a hint of expectation in her eyes. "I looked through your past-" Tom started. "You did what!?" Natasha shrieked, clutching at the bedsheets under her as her eyes showed horror and fear of being rejected. Her past was her biggest vulnerability and…

"What exactly do you want from me?" Tom hummed in acknowledgment of her question but took his time to formulate a proper reply. Before uttering it, however, he reached into his pocket and slowly took out a Black Queen Piece, putting it onto the table, making Natasha confused. "Devils-" Tom started now that the tension in the air had reached high enough. But he was instantly cut off, the mood he was going for completely ruined. "Devils?" Natasha incredulously interrupted. "Yes, they exist too."…
