He had done worse things than murder some nobody. Of that, Lev was beyond certain: He had killed women, children, anyone who dared to stand in the way of the people currently holding his leash. There was no hesitation on those fronts. If you stood in his way, then you were as good as dead. Nothing could save you. Prayer and pleas would've only earned you a slower demise.

His last job had gone well enough. Funds had been transferred and, as a result, Dominion had acquired a few new trinkets here and there. Unknowing civilians who worked underneath him were treated to a bonus on their pay which, in turn, added an additional layer of protection to his alias via good reputation. No one who pays their employees well could be a homicidal killer. Absolutely not.

Case and point, the separation between Chernobog and Lev was made clear: Lev was a happy business owner who wanted to ensure that his employees were well taken care of, and Chernobog - as the evening sky began shifting from a darkened magenta to a proper violet - was pissed off.

His employers had been upfront after his last job. He had done a good job, gotten paid, and that was that. There would be no need for partnerships, no need for someone to watch his back. As far as anyone was concerned, he was golden. Yet, if he was really in the clear, why was he being asked to work with... eugh, to make contact with some unknown jackass?

The job in principal was simple enough. On the outskirts of Shinjuku, there was a particular shop that needed to be dealt with. The owners were contributing funds in the wrong direction, per say, and that had earned them the ire of quite a few local gangs. Lev's benefactors just happened to be one - though, ever the diplomats, they'd asked him to reach out to those who also wanted to aid in trashing a store and killing the owners. The only difficult part about that was that, allegedly, there might've been a chance that the owner had some hero training. If there was a fight, it'd be a pain in the ass. If there wasn't, it'd be an easy check.

If experience told him anything, it wasn't going to be easy even if the fight was avoided. The odds were that others were watching the shop too, possible officers or sidekicks - the sort who could be paid to keep an eye on someone who had pissed off gangs but been too stupid to accept relocation when offered it.

If their intel was right, the owner lived above the shop. It was a cute set-up. A shame that it wouldn't save them.

Additionally, if their intel was right, his temporary partner should've been arriving soon. If they weren't there in thirty minutes... Eugh. Lev imagined he'd have to do this alone. Not that it'd be impossible - it'd be easy to trash a shop and deal with a few grunts, but it'd be annoying.

By the grace of God, he could not take something else annoying happening this month.

Perched on a rooftop across from the shop, Lev waited. His foot tapped impatiently against the roof's tiling to the rhythm of an old hymn.

Please don't let this person be an idiot. Please just let this go smoothly.

[attr="class","inner-finally"]"Uhm Shinja-sama. We're a few minutes out. Any pointers?" The lion, aka. Felix Gertrudeson chirped in the direction of Ravi, who was comfortably lounging in the opposite seat of the car they were riding in. Ravi was here for support and oversight since it was under his jurisdiction within The Deep, which meant training recruits and managing their assignments. Not looking up from his phone, he quipped back, "I'm listening, I'm listening~ It's not that hard trust me. You go in there, puff out your chest, and maybe avoid some bullets." he'd click his phone shut having sent out the information that he requested to another member of The Deep. "Don't sweat it too much~! Worst comes to worst, and you get hurt. I'll carry you out of there, don't you worry!" he said with a sickeningly sweet tone and an ear-to-ear grin. The Lion gulped in response as subtly as possible, having known that Shinja was a bit of a heretic within The Deep. His rate of casualties for assignments on both sides was double any other member, so he doubted he actually meant what he said. Even still, as his superior, he had no choice but to go along with this. Promotion was on the line, after all!

The meeting place wasn't anything too unusual. A high vantage point was always standard for these types of things and the two of them would make their way up the stairs to the rooftop with The Lion in the lead and Shinja trailing close behind. Ravindra honestly didn't have any desire to be here or to babysit BUT he was interested in seeing who those adjacent to the higher-ups had sent out to do this job. The Lion cleared his throat to make himself known "I'm your partner for today! The Lion." an awkward silence would follow this as Ravindra missed his cue "Oh! Sorry, sorry! Shinja or Indra, it doesn't really matter. I'm just here to observe, mostly~" another lie followed by a big smile as he took a seat next to the two of them, resting his Shakujo against his shoulder and giving a big yawn. Hopefully, whatever they got into would resolve itself quickly or at least be engaging enough that it didn't put him to sleep.

And right on cue, or close to it, there the bastards of the hour are. Lev glances over his shoulder at them first, doing a quick once-over, then turns to face them proper as introductions are given.

Immediately, part of him knows that the Lion is probably going to die. He believes this with a fair amount of confidence for two reasons: The first being that their name, 'The Lion', is far too grandiose for someone of such pathetic demeanor, and the second being that no one named after an animal ever lives long in the line of work. The second aspect comes from a blend of villains forever being humorous when it comes to killing each other for the sake of touting the names of their victims as insults towards others, and from the natural inclination - at least, for him - to put anyone stupid enough to call themselves 'The Lion' six feet in the dirt.

To say that his dislike is immediate would be an understatement. However, his look of disgust is easily hidden behind his owl-like mask, and that's for the better.

The other figure - Indra, they said - catches his attention for a different reason. Beyond the relaxed way that he holds himself, Indra's also unique for the shakujo held against his shoulder. Lev's experience within the country is still lacking and, as far as he knows, those tools are more ceremonial than combative. To bring one into a fight... No, Indra's probably the one to be aware of here. The Lion, he decides, will just end up being fodder one way or another.

"Right." He slowly nods, keeping his attention fixed on Indra. "You can call me Chernobog. If you're smart, you won't get close to me during any fight that happens tonight." He tugs one of his gloves, a sense of warning and caution rich in his voice as he turns back to face their target. "I assume we're all on the same page, but just to be safe: The target is on the second story, and might be combative if not killed quickly. The building itself will also have to come down, or at least be fucked beyond recognition." He clicks his tongue. "Additionally, my superiors did not inform me of your abilities. So, I would like to know your capabilities before we walk into a potential fire-fight." He glances over his shoulder at Lion and, though his expression is mostly hidden... Whoo, if looks could kill... "Starting with you, if you don't mind."

His time in Japan might be short so far, but fate'll be damned if Lev doesn't have a sense of authority in his voice. This isn't his first gig, and his demeanor makes that painfully clear. If it ends up being his last, he knows exactly who to haunt.

[attr="class","inner-finally"]The Lion may have been too inexperienced to notice but Ravi was not. There was a clear disdain for the inexperienced partner he was assigned and this greatly amused him. Either someone was fucking with this guy or this was karma at work. Either way Ravindra was a supervisor after all, and unlike a lot of the other members of 'The Deep' he wasn't going to get involved more than he had to.

"I can morph my hands into lion paws..." he trailed off a bit as Ravindra couldn't help but laugh. "That's why you got designated as The Lion? That's too funny~" he'd go back to being an observer adding a quick "My abilities are irrelevant for this, I'm here as a supervisor and nothing more." he'd lean back into a comfortable position as he waited to hear what kind of plan they'd come up with.

The Lion was becoming progressively more nervous as time went on, gradually realizing he was underprepared for this assignment. He kept trying to sneak glances at Ravi for reassurance and when they made eye contact, he was given a wink. Was it mocking? Did he have a plan? There wasn't much else to be said. "And you? What are you able to do?" he'd ask Chernobog sheepishly, hoping that they'd be able to get along. Ravi on the other hand, snuck a glance over the side of the building, seeing the slightest hint of movement on the second floor. "oho! You two better think fast; it looks like the guy is on the move. Maybe he spotted us? Super exciting~!" This one was clear as day that he was taking the piss of the situation. After all, failure or not, it wasn't his ass on the line.

You have got to be fucking kidding me. Lev wants to put his head in his hands. Better yet, he wants to wrap his hands around the throat of whatever moron assigned 'ThE lIoN' to this job. Lion paws? That's it? Sure, the large cats were known for their physique, but most of that came from their bulking bodyweight and pure durability, not their paws. One could make the argument that their roars were better known than the damn front and back legs, but here this moron was, blessed by the gods with a completely useless gift - at least, useless in this scenario.

For better or for worse, Lev could imagine a handful of cases where the other's Quirk would be useful. None of them were likely to happen tonight.

Chernobog says nothing to the Lion's explanation, but he does note the question. Before he can respond, however, Indra chimes in with that note about their subject possibly watching them, and any charitable explanations leave the realm of possibility.

Lev reaches down, prying a piece of loose tiling off from the roof. The bare tips of his fingers brush against it, seemingly igniting it in black flame, before a clump of ash settles over his open palm, rotating as a ring of soft soot.

"I kill things with my bare hands, as God intended." Lev answers plainly. "Now on my signal, Lion, get over there and grab his attention on the first floor. I'll move in from the top, and we'll pincer him." A simple plan with simple execution, though he does glance to Indra. "It ought to be decent enough to observe. A showcase of your subordinates skill." His voice does not carry any confidence on the Lion's skill, and for good reason.

Lev angles his wrist, then flicks a finger forward. That small sphere of ash straightens itself into a needle, then flings itself forward, piercing through the glass of the entryway door into the shop. He glances at Lion.

Any experienced killer would recognize that as a signal.

However, he's dealing with Lion.

"Get on with it." Lev hisses.

[attr="class","inner-finally"]Ravindra could barely stifle his laughter at the situation. Not only was that one of the dumbest quirks he'd ever heard of, but they thought that THIS guy was the best partner for the other guy. Even with his features obscured, Ravindra could almost feel the disdain for The Lion as it lingered in the air. Who wouldn't? He was clearly in over his head.

What did interest him was the display of the quirk. The power of destruction was indeed very useful and in a split second Ravi went from wanting to lounge on the rooftop to his feet. He wouldn't contribute but under the guise of 'supervision' he was interested to see what Chernobog was all about. The Lion would give a glance back to Ravi who would wave his hands and gesture back to Chernobog "Hey, remember you're the one who wanted to do this; be brave! You got this!" he gave the world's flimsiest pep talk.

The Lion, as apprehensive as possible, did what he was told not wanting to piss off Indra more than this new guy. He had heard of what happened to the last person who did that and...well lets just say he wasn't willing to take his chances. Clearly, it was safer down there. With surprising agility he activated his quirk and scaled down the building using the opportunity provided by Chernobog to walk in the front door. "Time to pay your dues!" he'd say baring his teeth which were also slightly feline in nature.

Indra would scan the area and look for any movement as he spoke to Chernobog without looking at him. "And you? I think he's a teeny tiny bit more competent than you think. He got this far in our group after all~" he'd flash a smile and give a cheery thumbs up. "Well, good luck! I'll be cheering you on!"

Ah, shit. Is he that easy to read? Lev tries not to think about it as Lion hops right down there and gets running, his gaze instead flickering to Ravindra. While Lion is charging ahead, Lev takes his time to pry off a few more pieces of rooftop, each one converted into ash after only a few seconds of contact with his skin. The black flame casts no light; a shame that it doesn't, if only because then he might've been able to get a better read on Ravindra's own demeanor. Something about this man is creating a sinking feeling in Lev's stomach, and... well, he'd be lying if he said he wasn't slightly curious as to who exactly this supposed 'supervisor' of the Lion really was.

"Of course. I would never want to imply that a member of your particular group would be incompetent. As you said, he made it this far." Ash circles around his arm, creating intricate patterns as he continues adding to its stores. "He strikes me, however, and I say this with no offense meant to him or your organization, as someone clinging to your spine out of lack for his own." He scowls under his mask. Tch, this process is going to get tedious. At least he has enough ash to make a decent way down, though it'll still probably hurt his knees to go from one rooftop to the ground in short order.

"You're free to join us, by the by." Lev straightens, giving a polite nod to Ravindra while twitching his digits ever so slightly. As he does so, the collected ash moves from one arm to the other, then fills the space between them with a rather well-made halberd - or, at least, the approximation of one.

"I know supervising can be... boring if not given a proper view of the action." He pauses, then tilts his head slightly, adding, "Unless you want me to give you a report of how the Lion did once we're inside, assuming you wouldn't be following or tracking him, of course."

Inside, the Lion can find some pretty nice china plates. Porcelain pots, plates, everything. Seems that the owner has really put his heart and soul into gathering as much as he can to sell, and has made a decent profit doing so. However, above him, there's the sound of heavy footsteps. The dragon in this metaphorical cave is awake, and sooner rather than later a fight's bound to break out.

[attr="class","inner-finally"]Ravi couldn't say he wasn't slightly impressed by Chernobog's quirk. He didn't want to overextend, but at the same time he was very curious to see how it worked in combat and whether Chernobog was really set on sticking with his organization. There would be time for a takeover later but collecting "allies" in the interim was a no brainer especially if they had unique or powerful quirks like his own. "Puh-lease! You're gonna be hard-pressed to offend me." Ravi laughed the notion off as he turned to head back down the way they came. "I'm a babysitter for this assignment so unfortunately, I need to follow you two~" he shrugged his shoulders and sighed. "I'd rather read but I gotta do my job~" Another lie as he was simply told to remain on site, not that he needed to get involved. Chernobog changed that as he had expected another grunt who would die to a light breeze.

The Lion was scared. He had expected backup to follow him quickly but from a glance back he could see that Indra was taking his sweet time coming down from the building. The heavy footsteps made him break out into a cold sweat as he wasn't fully certain in his own abilities. Hell, the reason he made it this far was because of his other ability of his quirk. Based on the feeling he had in his gut, it looked like he would need to use that.

If nothing else, he can at least tell that - for now - Indra is agreeable. That's what matters; he's not a blubbering coward who stumbles and staggers over his words, and that is enough for Lev to have a small hint of respect for him. Not enough to where, at this point in time, he would hesitate to kill the other if it was ordered... but enough to make him, if only for a moment, pause to consider the ramifications of such an act on his on conscience.

Lev nods along as the other speaks. He can't help but chuckle when Indra mentions that he'd rather be reading. "Well, after this is over, I'll give you book recommendations."

With that, he turns, hopping off the rooftop with as much grace as an alleycat to land right on his feet. To outsiders, perhaps his landing looks soft and graceful. To him, however, his knees immediately take most of the impact, and will likely be sore tomorrow. Sooner or later, he'll have to do something about his habitual jumping off of buildings, but for now? Well, for now, it's good enough for him. It certainly helps that the ash helps balance his impact, forming a damned cushion beneath him just before he'd strike the ground, but... well, a rooftop jump is a rooftop jump. It looks painless from practice, but still carries all the expected soreness. His hands brush against the ground as he lands, turning a solid chunk of pavement into more ash.

Lev whistles faintly as he walks, looking both ways before crossing the street towards the store. The ash swarming on either side of him may invoke the idea of a hydra; headless, unkillable, and all the more aware for it. Though his stride is graceful and almost relaxed, it's still quite fast - as quick as he lands and looks both ways, he's practically already to the other side of the building, the ash around him lashing upwards to pull down a fire escape.

He makes no noise as he climbs up it, then enters in through the upper story window. The bedroom of the target is unoccupied, barring a few family photos, which means...

With the Lion, there's several long and heavy stomps, before a figure starts bounding down the stairs. Armed with a baseball bat and rather impressive strength is the bastard of the hour. He's a Mutant with the head of a lizard and the form of a damned body-builder, wearing nothing but a pair of boxers and a thrown on tanktop. His gnarled horns curve in every direction and, as his gaze lands on the Lion, he snarls.

"What the fuck are you doing in my shop!?" He yells, smoke churning out from the end of his nose. "I'll pulverize ya!"

Uptop, upon hearing that as he calmly walks towards the very same stairwell that the man just descended from, Lev can't help but snort under his breath.

What a fucking cliche.

[attr="class","inner-finally"]"Really now?" Ravi would clasp his hands together, feigning excitement in a dramatic fashion. "You're really a model individual, huh~?" given they were more than petty criminals, this was padded with a level of sarcasm that was palpable. "I'm more of a stairs person myself, have a safe trip~" he'd remark as he watched Lev jump off the side of the building. Folding his arms into his sleeves and with his shakujo on his back he'd take the most leisurely pace possible. After all what was the rush? If these two died, then he'd just have less work to do than if he was proactive. Besides this was for the higher-ups to deal with, even if it was technically under his jurisdiction. So he slowly sauntered over to the building to watch from the outside unconcerned if anyone saw his face or even identified him in the process, secret identities only mattered if you cared about anything aside from your own interests.

The Lion broke out in a cold sweat at the sight. Compared to his lion hands, this man was much more imposing nearly a head taller than him and with a very VERY freaky lizard head. He'd look around to see where Chernobog was and then swiveled around to see Ravi in the window, who gave a friendly wave and pointing to the big guy, which caused The Lion to calm a bit. His boss wouldn't let him get killed...right? RIGHT. "Bring it on! You'll pay the money you owe or pay with your life. Last chance to back down!"

Say what you will about villains, but not all of them are monsters. In Lev's experience, some are simply people who have no other means to get what they need. They turn to crime and violence because, in comparison to other options, that's the easiest - or, at times, the only viable - choice they can make. Some are simply poor bastards who found themselves in one of the worst possible situations with little to no chance of getting out.

And then there's Lev himself, who might've fit into that category once, but has since moved past it. This is his life now. Taking a hold of family portraits hanging in the house of a soon-to-be dead-man and turning them to ash is as ordinary for him as bagging groceries or doing paperwork is for others.

Ash wraps around his digits from the now destroyed portrait. He didn't really pay attention to the people in it, mostly because... well, the odds are that none of those people are really important. They're just grandparents, more likely than not. Irrelevant people.

His steps do not echo as he heads down the stairwell. He can see the hulking figure puffing out his chest in front of the Lion, no doubt ready to either rip the man asunder or be ripped apart by the other in kind.

"Back down!?" The dragon hisses. "Abso-fuckin-lutely not!" He squares up, then swings. It's a killer right hook, to the man's credit. Maybe those self defense classes were worth it.

Lev says nothing. He simply watches from the stairwell, ash twisting and twirling around his hands. Somehow, even with his mask on, the look he's giving the Lion communicates his feelings on the matter with upmost clarity: You can either deal with this, or I can. Just say the word.

[attr="class","inner-finally"]From the window Ravi would whistle sardonically as he watched the Lion's threats not be taken seriously. Honestly though, if someone like that walked up to him Ravindra wouldn't know whether to laugh or kill him on the spot out of disrespect. Even still, the higher-ups felt The Lion was a valuable member of their organization for...some reason. Ravindra was intent to watch until he found out exactly what made him special compared to the thousands of others who came before him.

It wouldn't take long for the Lion to move forward with his assault, charging forward to attack the man only to be caught off guard by the speed and power of the man's right hook. The blow would sink into his jaw, with the light leaving his eyes as soon as the blow connected. Talk about a glass jaw! The impact of the strike sent him flying across the room and crashing into the wall, where his body went limp. The legacy of The Lion looked like it was at an end.

Ravi laughed at the display of feebleness and continued to laugh even as the man turned his attention to him. Unflinching in the face of danger, he watched the man take a few steps towards him, but Ravi interrupted him by tapping the glass and cupping his mouth before miming, "Behind you." before he waved at Chernobog to get his attention. Hopefully, he'd last a little longer than the first guy!

[Chernobog]

In my hand is the gun I hold

Locked and loaded, I'm coming for you

I'm

heading out, running

fast as I can

and even now I see

that you're shaking too

Trapped in a room that's never been warm, I stretched out my hand frozen

cold to the core

The bravado of the Lion earns him a microscopic amount of Lev's respect. There's something forever satisfying about seeing an idiot get pummeled, sure, but the Lion at least tried to go about things with a sense of dignity. If nothing else, he's decent fodder. Lev notes this, and commits it to memory, watching the shopsheep from his perch on the stairs.

There's only one way this was ever going to end, and that's not lost on him. The fact of the matter is that the Lion was probably always going to lose, the storekeep was always going to turn his attention to the other's supervisor, and the supervisor was always going to be a bit of a trickster and point to Lev. Nothing about this surprises him. Arrogant though it is, Lev has - by now - gotten a decent grasp on the narrative structure of things.

The shopkeep whirls, foolishly - fueled by adrenaline, no doubt - shifting his attention away from one threat and towards another. His mouth opens but no words come out; they're stolen from him by the ash that flies forward as knife-sized projectiles, first puncturing the mouth, then the back of his throat, then exiting. It's a split second moment, blink and you might miss it, but no one ever said Lev wasn't efficient.

The shopkeep stumbles. There is no fanfare otherwise, his body thudding against the ground a moment later.

Quick. Cold. Efficient.

"Is your subordinate dead?" Lev calls, looking over towards the Lion. "If so, I apologize - I thought he could handle that." It sounds like a genuine apology, though who is to really say if it is or not?

[attr="class","inner-finally"]Once The Lion went down any interest he had in the man went away fast enough to make someone's head spin. Ironic that someone who called themselves The Lion was on the bottom of the food chain! He'd make a mental note to say that next time he had to play babysitter. Well, if the person had an animal-themed epithet, that was.

The real prize was going to be seeing Chornobyl in action. His eyes zeroed in on the scene, taking in every possible detail in order to build up a profile for him. Assuming he didn't fold like paper, he was sure that this would provide valuable insight as to whether he could become an ally in the future for Ravindra's takeover. His eyes would widen as he watched the dust infiltrate the man and kill him in mere seconds. Now THAT was a great quirk to have access too, especially in this line of work.

Folding his arms in his sleeves, he'd push open the door, giving a whistle while looking around as if he hadn't just watched the whole show. "Look at that; it turns out he wasn't so tough after all!" he'd crudely gesture to the crumpled body of The Lion only to look visibly shaken a moment later as the man who had clearly died rose from the grave, his injuries healed. On his forehead, there would be a 9 that would shift to an 8 and he'd sit up breathing heavily "Got him, boss!" he'd call out to Ravindra whose confusion turned to intrigue "Alright kid, lets go. You might wanna leave before cops show up not that you couldn't take them but I've done enough babysitting today." with that Ravi would make a swift exit into the night.
