"Oooooh, this one's got fire... I like when they can fight back a bit." One said.
"Not this time you two." The Chief said walking in with a blonde man in a long coat with a cloth mask that looks more like it's hanging from his forehead. "You just got a reprieve Ms. Kazame, this nice man just paid your fine. You're free to go."
"Come on Red, I got business to talk with you. You owe me and my team a pretty penny." The man said. "Names Grifter."

Kaede
She ignored the duo of girls and got up to head out. "As far as I'm concerned, I will just repay you and owe you zilch. I can pay for my own fines, thank you very much. You're not the only ones with a bank account", she replied, looking at him with fairly noticeable suspicion.
"Not that I'm not interested in discussing business, mind you. I just prefer to do so on equal grounds, so don't expect me to be grateful for just that. I imagine you already know my name given that you probably had to sign a ton of documents about it, so how about we move on to the part where you tell me who you are aside from your name?"

"Alright... I'm with a Covert Action Team that goes by the code name WildC.A.T.s" He said. "I'll spare you the details, but some stuff went down, and half the team is out of action for a bit, so our boss graciously decided to contract some new members while they recover." He said getting back your gear before taking you to some advanced hover car. "The pay is pretty good, and you get the satisfaction of killing demons in addition to Vampires for a change. So what do you say?"

Kaede
"So we are NOT talking about goody two shoes heroes here, but people who actually have the guts to get rid of evil for good? I'd say that it'd be a nice change of pace to mingle with similarly minded people. I haven't really worked on a team yet, so I don't know how good my, um, teammatey skills are, but I wouldn't mind adding demons to my hunting list", she admitted as she re-equipped her gear before getting in the car.
"What kind of a team is WildC.A.T.S?"

"It's complicated." He said continuing to drive. "basically the majority of the team either are or are descended from an alien race called the Kherubim that crash landed on Earth milenia ago. We fight against the Demonites an evil alien race that also crashed to Earth, and survives by possessing humans."

Kaede
"Possessing humans... sounds troublesome. How do you tell them apart? ...I have a technique which allows me to expel possessing entities from a person, but I still have to... y'know, know that they're possessed. Also, how do you kill them? Any weaknesses?" she asked.

"We have a member of the team who can identify and exorcise them." He said. "As for weaknesses, just blasting and stabing them works well enough."

Kaede
"Guess I should do okay then", she said, nodding. "...Also, why me? I imagine there's other, stronger people who don't mind offing their targets for good. What drew you to me in particular?"

"I don't know. You'd have to ask the boss that." He said arriving at a high rise building.

"Oh? And who's the boss?" she asked, intrigued.

"That would be me." A very shurt business man says. "How you doing young lady... My name is Jacob Marlowe, and the WildC.A.T.s are my creation."

Kaede
"Well, no offense, but I just came back from hunting a vampire through the sewers and being tossed in jail for the crime of taking out monsters literally killing people daily, so to be honest, it's been kind of a sh***y day so far. But in general, I'm doing okay", she noted. "...I imagine you already know since you're apparently the one who decided to bail me out, but name's Kazama Kaede, or the Fabulous Kaede", she said with a smile, taking off her hat as a greeting before putting it back on.

He nodded. "First I shoud intoduce you to the people you are gonna be working with..."
You are them introduced to...
Spartan, a man in a red, and bue costume and mask.
Zealot, a scantilly clad white haired woman in red with a sword.
Voodoo, a dark skinned long haired woman in purple and gold.
and finally Void a living computer who was a woman covered in skintight spandex.
"And of course you already met Grifter." Jacob said.

Kaede
"Nice to meet you all. Kazama Kaede's the name. Vampire slayer and monster hunter by trade, and stage/street magician on the side, among others", she said with a smile as she sat down wherever appropriate. "Out of curiosity... what do you people know about my abilities?"

"Vaguely." They each say to some effect save for Void who goes on a detailed list.
