Chapter 9: An Unwanted Trip
To put it plainly, Aravis had no idea where she was. "Find Abby, he said," she muttered "It will be easy, he said." Marcel had asked her to go to Batgirl's house and make sure that Abby was alright. It had been three hours since she was last seen, after all. But the house was empty and silent, except for the machine that buzzed annoyingly on the desk.

And now they were here.

"What just happened?" Satoshi whimpered, seemingly frozen in place. Aravis sighed. "For the love of Doge, will you shut up?" As if being sent on a stupid mission by Lazy German Boy wasn't bad enough, this coward had insisted on tagging along.

"Why did you bring that thing?" Aravis asked, glaring at the animal. "It's just going to get in the way." He looked shocked. "Alexander won't get in the way!"

Aravis sighed again, only louder. "We'll never get anywhere at this rate."

"Oh my goodness, people!" an unfamiliar voice cried. "What are you doing out here?!"
