"Alright then. I will talk to you later." was Battine's reply, luckily. She paid and left, while Kali sat for a minute or two. Got up and in a stiff manner left the building. Then in a quick pace returned home.
Once home, she sighed, and muttered with fairly different tone, belonging to someone born in Maine - sounding a bit more like... drunk.
"Geez... took you long enough." With that said, she began to undress, all while her body changed. Few minutes passed, and in Kali's place stood a tall tan woman, with black hair, and green eyes. Rita. Rita took few steps towards the bedroom, all while stretching, and smiling mischeviously - already thinking whom to tease, play with, or toy with.
10 minutes later she wore tight black jeans, and a red strapless top. Not the best, but satisfying for fooling around... - she thought, and added jacket in the mix.
"Meh, but will do." With that, she left the house.

Battine went to the gym. A mixed bunch stood in front of her, a co-ed class of about a dozen.
"Are the classes at this school this small?" Battine asked. A student raised their hand and said: "Usually we are fourteen, but one is sick and the other was put under house arrest for harming a school mate with their powers."
"Alright. Since I am new here, I will check your physical abilities. Those of you with telekinesis, don't use your powers to your advantage!" Battine said sternly. "First, let's see you run five rounds."
The students then ran five laps one by one. No one was in bad shape actually, but one student had to redo after cheating. Second was rope climbing. A lot of students struggled with this one and those with powers all used their powers. "Stop! I guess you need more training in upper body strength. I will create a program for next time. Half of the time with be fitness training and the other half we can play dodgeball or another team sport." Battine said a bit irritated.
After an hour and thirty minutes, class was dismissed.

It's funny, that this place full of actors, this town is a perfect hiding spot for a killer. - Even if that killer would have poor acting skills, anyone wanting to find him would struggle greatly to do so. Acting: perfect, and at the same time imperfect way of... faking an emotion, a behaviour. It's simply a mask, that all humans wear, and rarely take off. Mask may seem interesting at first, but the trully fascinating thing is always beneath it, the core of a specific being. The core that Rita loves to see, and sometimes likes to break.
"For the best way to kill a man, is to murder them from within" Is what she'd used to say, but not here. Here... she's just bored half the time.
Even now as she enters the old bar, to have a drink and a friendly chat with Joe. Though that's not really his name.
"Hey Joe" She said, seconds after entering. As always he muttered something about not being Joe, but she didn't care. Instead she looked around, in this barely lit room. She could see the outlines of the tables, chairs made of mahogany wood - one type, that is hard to see with the little light, that is here, mostly coming from bar, and ocassional lights that were turned on. Though there are lamps on the tables, the said lamps are never turned on. Normally she, if she were new, she'd ask why? But the thing is... she knows - actors arrive later, and now it would be a waste of power to have them all turned on. Well, at least that's what Joe says, that, and he's a lazy fuck.
"You're early today. Any reason? Besides being bored that is?" Joe asked, all while cleaning mug.
"Nope, not at all, just lost interest in sex halfway to my target." Well, more like the man she wanted ended up being busy with acting, but she's not going to say that.
"So who was it?" Joe continued, while putting away mug with the rest, all nicely lined up on the shelf, what a thorough man he is today. Certainly more thorough than when she hit on him.
"Just a body builder, whom I teased for a while I guess. Oh, and one Devils Kiss." He shook head at the latter.
"Man, you're the only one that calls it Devils Kiss.

After dismissing class and changing, Battine decided to head back into town. Weather wasn't too warm but wasn't cold either. She came across an old bar and looked inside. Inside, there was a woman and a man chatting with each other.
Battine went inside and said: "I guess you just opened by the looks of the place right now. Can I have a corona with a lime, please?"
She looked at the woman and said: "And who might you be? I constantly see new faces here, so I need to get acquainted with many people." Battine wasn't sure if the woman had an affliction or could be one of the subjects as she couldn't tap into her mind telepathically.

Rita chuckled at his reply. Seeing it as one of the stupid things he tends to say, stupid, yet still needed to be commented.
"Oh, please. You're the only one forgetting the name of an old drink. You know it's been made sin- She didn't get to finish, due to someone entering the bar."
"I guess you just opened by the looks of the place right now. Can I have a corona with a lime, please?" She looked back, at the new face. Not exactly new thanks to early encounter today, but... who cares? Rita meets her in own body for the first time.
"Not really, just a waste of power to have everything turned on, when the probability of people coming here is low, like really low." While Rita spoke Joe began to make a Corona with lime, and only after Corona was made... he made Devils Kiss.
"I'm not blind Joe, will be paying less. - She said, and went back to Battine - Rita, though people here usually call me Blackie, or a Bitch I guess." She waved her hand at the latter, neither annoyed nor angry... but simply not caring.

"Well nice to meet you, Rita. Or do you prefer to be called Blackie?" Battine said. "I am relatively new here as you may have noticed. I teach over at the school and I got acquainted with the abilites some people here have. Some of my students tried to cheat in physical education class. Are you also someone with abilities? I met someone earlier near here named Kali who was able to levitate objects with the power of her mind."
Aside from the cameras, Battine was starting to notice someone watching her from nearby. She suspected her old supervisor. She better get rid of him and maybe look like she was attacked too to maybe draw attention away from her or maybe make something fall on him to make it look like a freak accident. A more secluded, unwatched place would be needed to kill him in a manner she would prefer to kill him in.

Rita sighed, Battine talked too much, all while Joe finally served drinks. She grabbed hers, and took a sip. Then considered the answer.
"Call me whatever you want. Don't care really. And I'm normal... - is what she usually says -... but keep in mind my mind is a maze." She chuckled at the latter.
"What about you? Anythin special?" Asking that she made sure to look at Battine, if she lies, Rita will know.

Rita seemed to have an attitude, which irritated Battine a little. Then Rita had asked: "What about you? Anything special?"
Battine wasn't supposed to spread her secret, because it would make the other agents and the government target her. Plus she wanted to aid the subjects here and eventually break out with them but going on a rampage would be counterproductive. "Not really. I was raised by my grandmother and reconnected with my father some time ago before someone cut his time short and murdered him." Battine said, not mentioning that she may have maybe killed her own father after he attacked her for thinking that her powers made her the antichrist.
Battine grabbed her drink, locking her eyes onto Rita, awaiting her reaction.

It was obvious, that Battine didn't like her attitude. Not like Rita cared. What she cared for... was an answer, and that answer had been given, but... it wasn't exactly truthful. "Not really. I was raised by my grandmother and reconnected with my father some time ago before someone cut his time short and murdered him." Battine said, not mentioning that she may have maybe killed her own father after he attacked her for thinking that her powers made her the antichrist. Battine grabbed her Corona, locked eyes onto Rita, and awaited her reaction. Oh, well, what else can I do, but grin. - She thought, and grinned. Then added: "Oh, really? If you say so..." Rita tilted head while slowly turning own drink from left to right, and back. Bored she was, still, but not as bored as few minutes ago. Question is what to ask next?
"So... how did father die exactly?" She had no problems with asking such questions, even if the said question may anger the other side.

"So... how did father die exactly?" Rita asked. Battine then sunk her head and sighed. "It... it is difficult to talk about it." Battine said. "S... something tore him apart. He was found dismembered, but by the looks of the damage, raw force was used and likely not a tool. At least not one you could easily transport. The police couldn't explain what could have happened."
Battine continued: "Since I wasn't on great terms with him, I was one of the suspects, but they ruled me out since they couldn't find evidence against me." The perfect murder. She thought. She wanted to laugh. At first it seemed like she did, but she could turn it into crying.
A little static disturbed electronic equipment, but no one at HQ took notice. In the bar, the air felt weird. Almost as if one had goosebumps.

Something tore him apart, you say. Raw force you say... and as usual the police can't explain it. But that's not the most interesting part: She wasn't on great terms with him, so yes... a perfect suspect as usual. It would fit the 80%, that murders tend to have. Besides no evidence, at least not one that would prove Battine is the killer. Hah, that would be a perfect murder. And if it is, then I'd love... to hear what she felt while killing him. - Rita thought.
"Well, I'm not surprised. Eighty percent of murders are commited by someone that knows the murdered person. Like a family member, or a friend." She looked at Joe briefly, while she stopped at friend.
"Nevertheless interesting, thanks. Been bored lately, so if there's anything you'd be fine sharing... do tell." Like the explanation for that moment of weakness of yours, that little beginning of a laugh. - She thought, and grinned once more. Then it quickly disappeared, while she asked:
"Well, now I'm in the mood, up for some fun?"
Joe groaned.
"Please, if you take her offer... do it elsewhere."

"Well, now I'm in the mood, up for some fun?" Rita asked. Battine stopped fake sobbing and then said: "What kind of fun? Or what do you understand as fun?"
By the reaction of Joe, it seemed Rita was up to no good or that her kind of fun involved trouble to others. While Battine would usually like to get involved in such things, it would kind of break her character or act to do something too wild.
(Sorry short post)

Rita sighed, a simple question crossed her mind - are you really that... dumb?
"I meant a bit of physical fun, now do you get it?" She grinned mischeviously.
"Probably not, still I can propose card game or... a drinking game as an alternative."

"I meant a bit of physical fun, now do you get it?" Rita said. Battine replied: "Fun can mean something different depending on the people. Some think playing pranks at others expense is fun. Others think playing chess or doing chores is fun. No need to bad mouth me over it. But yes, I am up for some fun. What activity do you have in mind?"
Battine was starting to realize why people called Rita a bitch. With such attitudes, someone like that is bound to rub someone the wrong way.

Ugh, really? - Rita couldn't believe she still didn't get it.
"Hey, you do realize she meant sex by physical fun, right?" Joe asked, and Rita laughed.
"She surely doesn't. And quite sure I am she won't be up for it. - Rita tilted head, and her sight previously focused on Joe shifted to Battine - Am I right?" If so, then the two of them have other choices, the ones she likes less, but... drinking game wouldn't be bad. Or so Rita thought.
