<strong>Trish at the office.  Brooklyn, New York.</strong><br/><br/>Trish just happened to look about the same general direction that Sasha had been, and somehow wasn't surprised to see that the woman in question had no face.  Demon or Devil, either way she too knew that the person before her wasn't human.  Of course, that didn't mean anything in the long run since she wasn't human, and in fact had tried to kill Dante once upon a time before they ended up working together.  If not for him, she wouldn't be where she was today.  Returning to the present though, Trish nodded as she took a step forward when Sasha took a step back.  "We've been partners for quite a while, so yeah you could say I know him pretty well.  When it comes to family though he's not very forthcoming.  On the other hand he's not forthcoming about much of his personal life to most people save for those he trusts with his life, which I could number on one hand for you.  As for now being human, I'm a full Devil, originally created by the demon Emperor Mundus, slain by Dante and myself on Mallet Island.  But, that's a story for another time my little faceless friend.  Oh, was I not supposed to notice?"  Trish asked, a sarcastic smirk on her face as Luca and Ombra seemed to appear in her hands by magic, pulling them out in less time than it took some people to blink before she aimed both guns directly at Sasha's face.  "So, want to tell me why a doppelganger is wanting to talk to Dante, or should I just fry you now and call it a day?  Sorry, but the way today's going, new people tend to make me a bit trigger happy."  Electricity roiled and crackled around Trish's body again, and this time she didn't hold back her immense power, letting 'Sasha' see just how strong she truly was.  "Before you go switching faces or anything on me hun, just be aware I can move pretty damn fast.  Just as fast as the lightning I control.  So, unless you want to see it for yourself, I suggest you lose the disguise and face me for what you really are.  Now, answer truthfully and I might not have to kick your ass."<br/><br/><strong>Nero at the Black Library.  London, England</strong><br/><br/>Catching the book in his Devil Bringer hand, Nero opened the page she had indicated and wasn't surprised to find it written in Latin.  Why couldn't these things ever be in English?  Kyrie could probably read these chicken scratches, but he couldn't.  He didn't need to though since 'Jacqueline' told him what it said in a nutshell anyway.  Closing the book just as quickly as she had her own, Nero turned to where it had came from according to Jack's directions, and extended his power in his arm, making the Devil Bringer glow before it shot out and stretched.  He slowed it down so he didn't end up smashing the shelf or the book in his hand, and gently put it back into its proper place before turning back to Jack, her tirade just beginning.  He waited calmly until she was done before roughly batting away the umbrella she was pointing at him before speaking himself.<br/><br/>"First of all, if it was so easy, you're right and I wouldn't be here right now.  Second of all, we do research, just most of the time it's just as easy to simply go in and kill the demon bastards plaguing this world since they normally don't have anything special about them to worry about.  The few that do however, there's always plenty of lore in the locations we find them in to make up for the lack of studying beforehand.  Third of all, they were coming this way anyway from what I was able to overhear.  They're just as freaked out as we are about all the rumors going around, and their allies going missing if not slain by things other than us.  Scared demons are dangerous demons, more so than usual even, which says something about how crazy things are getting.  Yes, they stole the most powerful artifacts on the planet, but Dante already has plans to get them back, one way or the other.  If it was just that I wouldn't be worried, but we also heard tale that his brother might be alive.  I hear he used to visit this library often in his search for more power.  Think about that before you go pointing that damn umbrella at me again Jack."
