The following takes place after S.T. Musician and Light Harmony of CIEIR Music defeated Dark Divide. Although remnants of the organization remains, peace has somewhat been attained in Fair City. S.T., in an attempt to adjust to a more normal and peaceful life rented a small, cheap apartment, where he can spend his free time doing what he wants on top of the usual crime fights. One day on Halloween, he attended a Karaoke Session. Light Harmony was there with him outside as he went for a post Karaoke Smoke.

Light: You really oughta quit those.

S.T.: I know. It's nothing, though, I just don't know what to do with myself. I fought crime among most things, out of sheer boredom. I kinda miss fighting the bad guys.

Harmony: I know what you mean. That fight with Dark Divide was the stuff of comic books. Still, we should enjoy this peace after all, we get to let loose and have fun.

Light: Who the hell is that?

Suddenly a woman shows up in an extravagant outfit with a mask. It looked like a mix between a fairy and a princess. She pranced around ballet style before dancing near the group. She looks at him, says nothing, but takes an earring off. Leaving it by S.T.'s feet. Before smiling, winking at him and prancing off. The trio was in shock.

Light: Huh, well that's something you don't see every day.

Harmony: I don't know, something about her is awfully familiar. S.T.? Are you ok?

S.T.: Did she just pull a Cinderella move on me?

Light: Oh God no. Shane, don't. I know you been lonely the past year, but don't.

Harmony: I agree, there's something about her I don't trust. Though it could be just jealousy in my case. I never caught your eye once when I was crushing on you.

Light: Harmony!!

S.T.: It's ok, she's over it. She's just making a comparison.

S.T. Picks up the Earring.

Light: Why did you pick that up?

S.T.: Well it's like you said. This is something that doesn't happen every day. Plus I have a pretty good idea who's behind that mask.

Harmony: Oh? Who?

S.T.: Well I won't say her name, but I met her about a year ago. In terms of appearance she's oddly attractive to me, but I knew her line of work and was forewarned to stay away from her. But she was polite and nice and worse she did was ask for a smoke.

Light: Oh God I see where this is going. Let me guess, you were being a gentleman and even lit it for her.

S.T.: Ya. Even when I knew what she was about, compared to the other bad guys here, she was harmless. It was like she was the building's version of a house cat. Popping up everywhere, nice to some people mean to others. And while I wasn't quite interested in her, she did try getting my attention one way or another. Showing up in my usual hangouts in elaborate costumes or sometimes even an outfit that suited my taste. You know I'm a sucker for 80s wear.

Light Harmony: We're familiar with it.

S.T.: One day I seen her in the lobby crying. Didn't know what it was about, but I felt in my heart I had to check on her. It was like she was a bad girl with an innocent soul. We kept our distance but still talked to each other, exchanged smokes. Typical stranger life. I think she did this because I was nice to her and she was trying in her own odd way to return the kindness.

Harmony: I don't know. There's just something there, something....dark.

S.T.: That's not what scares me. What scares me is I feel like I met her before. A long time ago.

The month passes by and S.T. put the fear of God into, two gangster wannabes that tried to lead what was left of Dark Divide. S.T. is out alone while Light Harmony goes shopping for a couple minute. The woman shows up in regular clothes.

S.T.: Oh hello. How are you?

Mystery Girl: Not to bad. You wouldn't happen to have a cigarette by any chance would you?

S.T.: Unfortunately no. Sorry.

The woman looks at S.T., with a look on her face that seems to show happiness, yet something she's holding back. Then suddenly, she grabs him and kisses him. Out of reflex, he dodges so she kisses him on the cheek. She then runs off just as Light Harmony saw the whole thing. Both smiling at him teasingly.

S.T.: I don't know what to make of this! WHAT THE FUCK!!? I don't know what to make of this.

Light: You sly dog you. I cannot believe we saw that.

Harmony: Damn, talk about the perfect timing.

S.T.: I'm just as shocked as you are. Cinderella just fucking kissed me. I did not see that one coming.

Light: Well she clearly likes you, maybe you should go talk to her.

Harmony: Ya, it wouldn't be the first time you helped a lonely soul out. After all we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.

S.T.: I don't know, I mean she's nice and all, but like you guys there's something about her I don't trust. Plus, part of why I don't pursue anymore is because I had rotten luck with women. Crushes that never went anywhere, Divide trying to Rape me every chance she gets. I don't know, maybe I'm just insecure.

Light: Well we been through Hell together so that's normal.

Harmony: Ya. You never know things might happen.

S.T.: We'll see.

Another month rolls around. A couple days before Christmas, S.T. and Light Harmony were having dinner when the girl shows up again. She hands him what looks like a grey piece of cloth.

Light: First she Cinderella's you. Then she kisses you. What is she up to this time.

Harmony: What did she give you?

S.T. unravels the cloth to see a pair of fresh store bought woman's underwear her size.

S.T.: Are you fucking kidding me?

Light: What the actual fuck?!

Harmony: Any more signals and there'd be landing lights on her bed sheet.

S.T.: This is starting to scare me a little.

After a rough moment with the DD Wannabes. S.T. heads for the stairwell. He sees her across the hallway and while he tries to smile to keep up appearances. But she could tell he was still angry.

Mystery Girl: Are you ok?

S.T.: Ya I'm fine. Look, I gotta go, I just to feel like talking to people right now.

He storms away. Moments later Light Harmony shows up.

Light: What's the matter?

Mystery Girl: Your friend showed up, he was smiling, but he looked pissed. I don't think he likes me.

Harmony: Oh, you saw him angry. Ok. Look we'll go talk to him.

The next day, S.T. and Light Harmony are hanging out.

S.T.: She thought I didn't like her? Damn. Now I feel like shit. I never meant her to feel that way.

Harmony: She seemed more worried about you though. Maybe she does like you. As in "Like" you l...fuck it. She likes you in the way I used to like you only she's more serious about it.

Light: Damn, that must have been hard to say.

Harmony: I may not be interested, but when I saw her look like that I knew exactly how she felt.

S.T.: Look, I'll set the record straight with her if I could find her.

They hang out at a burger place and he looks around after eating. By chance he finds her and gets her attention.

S.T.: First of all I wanted to apologize, I simply had a bad day and you happened to just see me like that. I heard that you thought I didn't like you, but that's not the case. You've always been nice to me and I am flattered that you like me that much, but my life is a bit complicated right now and I'm not ready for a relationship. That said, keep your hopes up. You never know.

Mystery Girl: I understand.

S.T.: That being said, to prove that whether things go well or not, that I still care, I have been holding onto this.

S.T. reaches into his pocket and pulls out the costume earing from Halloween. The Mystery Girl is so over joyed she tackles him in a hug before leaving to go about her day.

Light: Wow, I didn't know you had that in you.

S.T.: Well who knows, maybe she could be the one.

Harmony: Ya. It's like she was made for you or something.

An alert on their watches beeps Harmony looks.

Harmony: Oh shit. Uh S.T., you're gonna want to know this.

S.T.: What is it?

Light: You basically wooed an elite member of Dark Divide. She's the Deadly Demoness.

S.T.: Oh shit. I heard about her, she's beautiful, deadly and lives by her own standards of moralities. Even Dark was afraid of unleashing her. Makes sense she's moonlighting as a working girl. It'd be the best way to infiltrate people's homes. Someone must have tipped her off about me. Still it's strange.

Harmony: What is it?

S.T.: Maybe it's because I am realizing my own feelings for her, but I don't sense evil off her. I seen her in public. She even handed us Keto bars at one point. Granted she flies off the handle, but she is an overall nice person. Maybe she had to do what she did to survive this city. I get the feeling we stumbled upon a bigger mystery.
