"Putrefaction only happens somewhere between three-ish to five
or so days after death. So if he pushed up daisies fairly
recent, you don't have to worry too much about the decay." Vito
said casually in response as he gave the old man a nudge with
his foot before Levy started encasing him. He was fully
collected even as Levy began to tentatively explain the
situation with him, he seemed to adapt to the strangeness
easily. If that was a product of his military training or simply
a byproduct of his lessened humanity in the midst of said
military training, it was hard to say. Either way he was
desensitized to whatever life seemed to throw at him, for better
or for worse.
"Hopefully that one is less of a douche than the Ellie we had
here. Proper twat that one was, still encased in crystal or
whatever the fvck condensed timey-wimey bullsh!t he spit out.
Sucks to be him, lucky for Al he was outta the blast zone and
well yours truly got stabbed a bunch but that kind of par for
the course these days." He said stuffing his hands into his
shorts pockets as he began striking casually long side Levy.
"Didn't know you took up being a taxi service." Vito teased
bumping his shoulder into Levy as they walked leaving the masses
to begin murmuring and taking out their phones, all buzzing
about about God Spear's sudden reappearance. "Ya know, it's kind
of weird seeing him back. I went to one of his public memorial
slash vigil thingys a few months back. Lots of candles and food,
real nice time actually.."
Vito went on to explain a bit of what happened after a year of
Levy being MIA. It was an event that had been dubbed the
'Crystal Calamity.' It was lame but the media really leaned
into it after the disappearance of the number one hero, it was a
tragedy they spun in the favor of painting it more like him
having subdued some 'heavy hitters' from the league of villains.
No one wanted to admit that they had no clue what the fvck had
happened. With some rich kid with time powers, a persuasive con
man and an escaped military grade psychopath at the center of
it, with God Spear and Boneyard MIA it was no wonder the media
wanted to play it up so hard or else the public image and
support of heroes would have taken a seriously negative hit.
Al, ever the opportunist, took advantage of that, of course and
gained a strange sort of cult following deeper into the villain
scene doing whatever sort of things he did at his leisure. Vito
on the other hand, didn't have the same resources and had
decided to "lay low." Well as low as he knew how to anyway; like
not trying to square up with Apache helicopters or going on any
more hero murdering sprees... though now he was still wanted for
both the murder of the hero Bunny Girl, of which he was wholly
guilty of and the disappearance of God Spear, which he was less
guilty for.
"So we going to go see a necrophagey type? They give me the
willies." Vito said making a sour face for a moment but he still
seemed to fall into step waveringly beside Levy on this
endevour, hardly bothering to question him on his reasoning for
anything he was doing, as if simply going along for the ride in
a carefree manner. You'd think Levy had asked him to simply head
down to the corner store and grab something he forgot with the
level of causality the two carried. "You seem... different."
Vito said tilting his head curiously his dual tone eyes studying
him for a moment.

"And you're just the same as ever." Levy retorted to Vito. "I
did always admire your resilience. You never seem to have a
problem being squeamish or anything like that, even when you get
all messed up. That's pretty badass." Levy's eyes turned upward,
indicating his smile beneath the concealment he wore.
"You're also one of the few people I can trust with this but I
don't want to talk more about what happened over there until
we're outside of Silo's hearing range. Silo, a professional hero
working for the agency was one of the best known secrets they
had. Anyone who was even a few days on the crime scene knew the
heroes had a way of keeping tabs on what was going on around the
nicer parts of the city. That way, was Silo, whose power let him
listen in on any locations he had visited before.
Honestly, it was hilariously inept that Silo couldn't hear
everything in the city but the agency decided to send everyone
waivers so they could operate whenever they wanted, legally, as
long as you signed. Naturally it was spun as trading a bit of
freedom for a lot of protection but the less pristine sides of
town declined, making it harder for the heroes to listen in and
making it easier to ignore the places they were needed most.
It was nice to have Vito around again. Regardless of being able
to fully trust the swinging whims of his twisted mind, Levy
figured Vito like him enough not to try to kill him in his
sleep, which was sadly an improvement over other coworkers he's
had in the past. "Yeah. We're headed to the waterways on the
edge of town, the ocean side." He said, kneeling down and
popping the cover off of a manhole below him. "Nobody's gonna be
listening in there, I remember someone saying the waves give the
Listener a headache." Levy sighed as he peered down the dark
hole beneath him.
"I'm glad Al got onto his own thing. It'd suck if folks kept
taking advantage of him just because he's OP, ya know?" Levy
stood with one hand holding the coffin over his back and the
other on his hip, speaking with Vito as if they bumped into each
other at the store. "Thanks for the factoid on rotting though, I
think it'd be better to get this done sooner than later. I don't
know if you come back all brand new or if you stay the same." He
scratched the side of his head in wonder before shrugging. "I'm
just trying to think of our future selves not having to smell
dead a$$ for the rest of our lives."

"Oh you flirt!" Vito teased in regards to being complimented,
all be it in a weird twisted confession of admiration. Though a
piece of Levy could tell that Vito seemed to actually be
deflecting with humor for a second as if not wanting to pay
credence to his 'resilience' remark. For just the briefest of
moments a flicker of Vito's truer feelings seemed to surface,
but before one could possibly read into it further his tone
switched, as if to protect himself from his own feelings, or was
it to protect himself from you? It was impossible to tell.
Without a second to reply Vito stepped clear out over the
manhole dropping straight down only slowing his decent via the
ladder part way down. "You coming or what?" He called up his
voice echoing with mischief, he was clearly no stranger to
navigating in the true underbelly of the underbelly aka "The
Upsidedown" what scummy sorts called the highway of networks
that the sewer systems allowed.
"Huh. You have a good point! I guess it depends on how their
necromancy works, I'd wager it could be anything from, like, D&D
resurrection all the way to shuffling mall of the dead zimbo
action." (Zombie-Bimbo... clearly) Vito seemed to make scales
with his hands back and forth as if weighing the extremes. "The
Zimbo would probably talk less." He said with an amused snort
and a laugh that echoed out in the rounded tunnel systems.
"I haven't been to see the ocean in ages." Vito said with a wide
grin across his face but as he spoke those seemingly innocent
words he felt a searing heat tear through his veins as cycling
images flickered like wild fire spreading out consuming his
minds eye. He heard the sounds of screaming clashing with the
lapping waves, gunfire crackling like logs in a fire, the wet
sand under feet mixed with a wash of red as the waves lapped at
a foreign shoreline like a tongue attempting to soothe a wound.
A second later he blinked and shook his head looking at Levy
again, his tone suddenly playful and carefree as he changed the
topic again.
"Yeah I'm so happy for Al, he seems to have a good thing going!
I don't really get it but different strokes for different folks
I guess." Vito said in earnest himbodom with a big grin
returning to his face as he took his time almost dancing between
the cracks in the different cobblestones underfoot careful not
to step on the mortar cracks in-between the stones. It was as if
he was making a game out of it as he traveled along, not even
needing to be directed on which way to start heading since he
knew the way. He wasn't as dumb as most people assumed, he was
clever in his own right but that made him all the more dangerous
at times. Though Levy was right in regarding Vito's propensity
for violence being unlikely to be directed at him. Due to their
understanding of one another, Vito seemed to chill a bit. Maybe
it was because of their abilities being similar, or perhaps
simply because of their tragic pasts but there was no denying
the odd kinship they had shared after Boneyard had met up with
their strange little musketeer bunch. Levy still never knew the
motives for Vito joining up with the original crew to begin
with... Was there even a reason?

While not everything about Vito was cut and dry, that was
something Levy never put any concern toward. At least he knew he
was on his side, most of the time that is. Regardless, after
what he had seen in the other timeline, it was nice to have his
Vito back. Levy leapt down shortly after nursing his thoughts,
landing with a resounding thud and a casual pose. Alongside
Vito, the pair's eyes began to adjust to the darkness.
The first few corridors of the sewers were intentionally left
unlit, especially nearby easy to spot entry ways. Most folk that
used the sewers were so familiar with them that they didn't need
their eyes to navigate them anyway. It was a simple way to
discourage interlopers and heroes alike. This did lead to many
children cooking up ghost stories about the sewers, which
honestly checked out considering it was where an actual
necromancer lived.
"It's been a while since I've been down here." Levy admitted.
"At least on this side." He followed the old pathways he
remembered, lucking out and making it all the way to the first
heavy iron door of the trip. Levy walked up to the door and
stopped. "Did they change the number of knocks?" He asked Vito,
sure he was in the know about the sewers. After an event like
what took him and God Spear out, he had no clue what else could
have changed over on this side.

Vito chuckled awkwardly at Levy's question as he rubbed the back
of his neck. "I uh... can't remember the number of knocks so I
usually just sit outside the door and get their attention until
they eventually let me inside." He said while knocking himself
on the head with his hands and sticking out his tongue to make a
stupid memey face, all while still taking steps backwards hoping
back and forth from one leg to the other. "I think they changed
it to like six knocks or the catchy beat to that one new doja
cat song?" And this is why people think he's stupid... But he
was right, it was the doja cat song 'MOO!' which of course
caused Vito to start humming 'B!tch I'm a cow' as they continued
to walk to their destination.

Levy gave a light sigh at Vito's response. "Right." He mumbled
as Vito started humming and singing. During his time with God
Spear and being forced to work together to survive their shared
ordeal, he had forgotten what it was like to have help that
wasn't so... helpful. "Can you tone it down?" Levy grumbled as
he pressed his forehead against the firmly locked iron door.
"I'm trying to think..."
Just as Levy stopped to think for a moment, he reexamined what
Vito had just said. "Wait... You don't mean..." He turned to
look at Vito with a surprised look threatening to raise his
eyebrows. "You mean to tell me there's a new Doja Cat song?!"
Levy's voice skipped a beat with excitement as he abandoned the
roadblock in front of them. "There wasn't even a Doja Cat where
I was for the last year. Talk about a cultural graveyard." He
scoffed, mostly joking but holding a sliver of seriousness. He
as a huge fan of Doja Cat in his free time, maybe bringing her
up was Vito's way of commiserating with Levy or maybe it was
just a coincidence, it was always hard to tell with him...

"Duuuude, there's no way! I'd probably walk out into traffic to
have a date with truck-kun." Vito's shocked expression seemed
more distraught now than he had upon hearing the news about the
multiverse. "I'll have to show you it, sh!t slaps." He said
pulling a phone out of his pocket, it was covered in bedazzled
rhinestones of rainbowy hues and had a small little off brand
hello kitty-esque charm dangling from it's corner. Notably as
the screen flickered to life in the dark of the tunnels a large
crack across its surface could be seen stretching from corner to
corner diagonally. Vito always seemed to have a phone on him
that very clearly wasn't his. Probably snatched up from a bar or
purse... or corpse. Depended on the day he needed a new one;
where most people would simply buy burner phones, he had found a
very different method that seemed to, for better or worse work
for him, especially since he could fairly easily bypass most
phones simple finger print or facial recognition software for
obvious reasons.
He pulled up the Musicfy app and pulled up the song in question
and began playing it, it's catchy tune amplified by the
acoustics of the surrounding tunnels. It surprisingly worked
well for just such a purpose, thanks sewers! Near the end of the
song, a cheery chime sounded as an alert of some kind popped up
on the phone. Vito glanced down at it expectantly and opened the
new link alert. "Awww... we just missed Duplicity making an
appearance in low town!" He said sounding a bit dejected as he
pouted slightly. It seemed his strange sort of one way
attachment to the Hero hadn't lessened one bit in the last year,
even his burner phones were set to alert when her name popped up
into Media online. "Man I bet God Spear is talking to her right
now and everything... d!ck." He mumbled before shoving the phone
back into his pocket with a dramatic sigh.
"So you said we were going to see a Necromancer, yeah? What's so
important about bringing Ele back to life anyway, it's not like
you need to get home anymore so why not just dump him somewhere
and be done with it?" Vito asked curiously as he walked
alongside Levy looking over the man's expressions searching for
answers. "Surly you didn't like his company that much, so, is
there like more you need from him? Is it even alright to keep
someone from somewhere else here? I remember seeing a couple
movies that hinged on plots like that. Evil twins, paradoxes,
clones and all that shite makes messes." Vito said snickering
under his breath as if amused rather than worried about the
potential dangerous such elements imposed. Forever unbothered by
the things he couldn't be troubled to try wrapping his mind
around.

"Oh, him?" Levy responded as he looked over his shoulder at the
coffin resting against the sewer wall. "I don't really know. I
guess I'm hoping he can help us take down the heroes on this
side since he definitely wasn't on their side over there." He
thought for a moment before continuing. "Besides, it's never a
bad thing to have someone with time manipulation powers owe you
their life." Levy gave a light chuckle but he wasn't entirely
kidding. Now that he had seen what bad eggs in the basket could
do to the balance of things in Requiem City as a whole, he was
more determined to build up his own strength as well as those
that would want to fight the Agency to keep living life the way
they wanted and not under the boot of the ones at the top.
"I'm going on a limb and trusting God Spear to do what he said
he was going to do when we were working together the last year."
Levy explained. "He said he was going to investigate the agency
on this side and look for any bad apples. That's fine and dandy
but as far as I'm concerned, whether they're breaking any
imaginary rules or not, they deserve to be dethroned." His
signature angst seemed to begin boiling to the surface again,
not completely tempered away with the journey he had made to
another dimension. "We weren't dumb about it." Levy continued in
reference to God Spear. "We knew we wouldn't be working together
like Sherlock and Watson when we got back here but we did see
enough bad to agree we don't want that happening back home
either."
Levy sighed and walked over to the coffin resting on the wall
nearby. "I'm not gonna force you to trust him or any of the
heroes, not after what those bastards did to you but if any good
can come from keeping the golden boy alive then I'll consider it
done. That's about as far as I'm willing to parley with a guy
that used to represent everything I thought was wrong with the
world. It was only after seeing a worse world that I realized I
was focusing on the wrong things."

"Couldn't see the forest for the trees aye?" Vito said as if
pondering Levy's words, it was hard to say to what importance he
seemed to categorize this whole ordeal as with always he was
tough to read. "So you and Pike Jesus are trying to take down
the H.A. but um... why the hell would you do something like
that?" He said looking genuinely perplexed for a moment, a
reminder of the level of delusion Vito lived within on the
daily. He truly separated himself from being a villain entirely,
but then again he was ultimately what Blackwatch made him... a
weapon of mass destruction, problem was they simply couldn't
control him. And so here he was, a puppet with no one to hold
his strings, like Pinocchio with PTSD and no Jimminy Cricket to
be his conscious. Well aside from Alice, anyway... but Levy was
none the wiser about that
"They're part of like all major emergency orgs, fire, police,
even rescue; so wouldn't that throw the whole city into a tizzy?
As funny as that would be to see some of those jerks squirm, I
could never do that to my girl." He said with simple conviction,
a weird casualty still strung to his tone as he rapped his index
finger to his cheek when suddenly his expression turned cold.

Levy gave a moment to choose his next words carefully. "I'm
pretty sure she's one of the good ones." He surmised with a
slight shrug. "She was on the other side too, though, she was a
bit different over there." He thought back to the version of
Duplicity he had met, she was very similar in behavior and
personality as the one Vito was so fond of, but she certainly
matched his asthetic more on the other side. There, the woman
sported edgy, fishnet laden clothes, tattoos, and a good deal of
piercings.
"That's what I meant though, about changing my sights. I want to
weed out all of the corruption festering beneath the surface of
the Agency. My ultimate goal is just to make sure people can
live the way they choose, not the way they are forced to by
super human dicks." Just as he was finishing his reasoning, Levy
stepped back over to the locked door, no further along with
their journey than when they started, really. Without much of a
second thought, Levy found himself tapping along to the new Doja
song against the door while he tried to strategize what to do to
move forward. That's when he heard tapping from the other side
as well, to the same beat.
With a sudden wash of disbelief, Levy continued repeating the
beat which then echoed from the other side as well. With tired
eyes, he craned his head back to Vito and held his gaze as the
door suddenly began to shift and open. "I guess you did have the
answer, in a way."
