Lightning managed to find Dante's bike. It was parked outside some crappy warehouse. Curiosity getting the better of her, she went inside, finding what appeared to be a warehouse converted into an office area and sleeping quarters for Dante and his co-workers. She spotted the white haired man with his feet propped up on his desk and a slice of pizza in his hands. She raised a brow when she saw a meek young woman as well.
"Can I help you?" Elizabeth asked Lightning softly.
"I'm here for that idiot," she said gesturing to Dante, "I owe him lunch. But apparently he forgot."

Dante looked at her "This is brunch for me. Lunch is in a hour or two" he said as he ate the pizza slice. He stood up and stretched "Welcome to Devil May Cry! A couple of the others are here, so you might meet them" he said. He turns "That's Elizabeth, basically our intern and manager of bounty contracts" he said about the meek young woman. A door opened as out walked a tall.... thing. He had brown fur, some poncho looking attire, and a crossbow on one arm. On it was some kind of lightning bug and a spider as he looked at Lightning and gave what sounded like a rough, gravely "Hmm".

"I'm sure," she commented towards Dante. She nodded quietly at Elizabeth. She thought it was odd that the young woman was working there but really she had no place to talk. She was going to discuss an employment opportunity with the guy who kidnapped her from the hospital. Not to mention the odd humanoid creature that walked past her.
"Um, Dante, before you go I have your contracts for the day." she said. The shy woman went back to her desk and picked up a manila folder. She offered it to the demon slayer.

Dante looks over "That's Stranger. Some kind of bounty hunter that uses live ammo, like spiders to wrap up captured prey." he said as he took the folder "Thanks" he said as he flipped through them, not showing a lot of enthusiasm, mainly because of the bounty payout.

Lightning nodded quietly. She could understand someone like Stranger. Even if he did look a little unusual. "Anything good?" She asked referring to the bounties.

"Same old same old. A few witches here, a demon or two there. I swear Deathstroke gets all the good ones"
"That's because I don't mess around like you Sparda" a new voice came. One of strength, skill, and.... cold emotion as behind them came in a man in black and orange wearing a mask and carrying twenty bounties by himself.
Dante looked at Lightning "Meet Deathstroke. His world's number one assassin" he said.

Lightning nodded. Not bothering to introduce herself to the man. If he wanted to know who she was, he would ask. "Why do you have so many bounties?" she asked. "They're all common criminals and easy tasks. It makes more sense to take them all and build up your wealth through small jobs." Plus, it would mean the streets were safer for the civilians.

He looks at her "They all work for one man. Take down the small ones, they piss off the big fish. Plus, I like to make my main target sweat before I take them down" he said as he tossed the bounties into a cell. He walked upstairs and to his office, just as the door busted open with the grey skinned alien walking in. He was carrying some big bounty that looked like a mutated wasp and dog hybrid as he tossed it into a very tiny cell to make it unable to move. He walked, but stopped, red eyes looking at Lightning "Well hello there pretty lady" he said with a grin.
Dante looked at her "This is Lobo. A invincible bounty hunter because he is the last of his kind. The thing is though his kind can only be killed by someone of their kind and since he literally killed all of them, he is the last of his kind"
"Not my fault the weaklings couldn't handle a plague of flying scorpions" he said with a laugh.

Lightning stared at Lobo impassively, completely unimpressed with the 'invincible' bounty hunter. She was tempted to try something to prove she was more than 'just a pretty face' but she also liked it when men underestimated her because then when she overcame their social expectations of her, the looks on their face was satisfying. "Very mature." she replied in deadpan. She hadn't realized that she would run into someone more frustrating than Dante.

As the door opened again, another red coated man walked in, but with a large caliber handgun and the head of a monster. He had long black hair as he walked up to the desk, putting a bounty on the table "Claimed" he said in a calm demeanor. Dante looked at Lightning "This is Vincent. Basically the opposite of me in a way" he said. Vincent looked at Lightning and simply bowed his head a bit, as if a greeting between warriors.

Lightning returned the nod. Yes, she could get used to Vincent. Dante reminded her of her sister's old fiance - Snow. "Yeah, I can see that," Lightning said. "So what is every one of your co-workers going to come in?"

As Dante found his desk and leaned back, he smiles "So go ahead and meet whoever you want. I'm sure the others will be here soon" he informed as he casually tossed and caught a rubber ball in the air. Vincent was currently cleaning his gun as Lobo was..... sleeping. Upstairs she could see a lone office as one of the downstair offices looked like a zoo of sorts with all sorts of small creatures.

"I don't do the... touchy feely thing." Lightning said. She hadn't gotten close to anyone in hundreds of years. She didn't get close to people because she lived longer than all of them.

"Neither do I" a new voice came as behind her came a real warrior. Black and orange in attire, a single sword, and with over ten bounties being hauled in. Just one look in his eye said the whole thing of 'If she tried to fight him, he could kill her ten times over'. He was different, more professional.

"Good for you," Lightning told him dryly. "I'm only here because Dante said he had work for someone in my field." She then folded her arms across her chest in slight annoyance. She was tempted to demand whether or not they would just stand around all day exchanging pleasantries. Lightning never was one for dawdling. She didn't care that the men around her were trained assassins. She was too. She had hundreds of years on some of these 'children' who played themselves off as tough bad-asses. "Right now all I see is talk and no action."
