The Trailmon came to a stop before Blackjack and Harmony rose to their feet in their new holosuit disguises. After spending most of their lives legless with invisible hands a humanoid form was quite a difference to adjust to so they were now beginning to understand why a Fanbeemon named Marigold preferred not to use a holosuit.
Harmony walked alongside her brother who was taller than her in his holosuit disguise and said "These things feel weird but aren't that bad. At least you look handsome by human standards, Blackjack."
Blackjack put on a roguish smile before he said "Yeah I guess so but, to be fair, there are humans that would find you attractive too, Harmony. I suppose we have another thing in common."
The water based Cardmon disguised as a dark haired teenager laughed as she shook her head before the pair made their way off of the Trailmon and out of the station. Fortunately the pair of siblings had adjusted fairly fast to their human disguises for the most part but Harmony was still a bit clumsy so it was probably for the best the two planned to stick together as they didn't know their surroundings and didn't want their cover as digimon to be possibly blown.
As the pair entered the park there were some teenagers in the park making a menace of themselves as they were attempting to rob another teen of a smaller than average build. Not cool. Blackjack looked at Harmony who nodded before the taller teen walked briskly over to the group and it seemed to work sending the group scurrying before he walked back over to his sister with a familiar roguish grin reappearing on his face.

"How am I supposed to get used to this..." A purple haired girl complained as she walked, an awkward experience she was getting used to rather then flying. As a Digimon, Tera flew and didn't have to worry about arms and the like, but she was starting to adapt. Kai was walking beside her and shrugged at the prospect, she was not sure how to feel about Tera having a Holosuit but she didn't feel it was her place to outright ban the concept, but she wanted to try and start with Tera, figuring Tera was the cornerstone of her army and the first, and also Solarmon refused to use a holosuit.
"This was your idea remember? Just gotta get used to it." Kai said as she was dressed in her school uniform as she was leaving school recently as they would head to the park. Kai wanted to see how Tera would function in public. However that came to a stop when the two would see a rather scrawny teenager at the mercy of a group of bullies. Tera was about to leap into the fray before Kai grabbed her shoulder, seeing someone else already intervening and intimidating the boys into running off. "Whew, that guy's got quite the poker face." Tera commented as the two discretely watched the man return to the girl. Kai analyzed the girl from a distance as she would look at the girl a bit more. "She's quite, charming in her appearance as well." She said making Tera snicker a bit.
"Bold of you. Her boyfriend's right there." Tera said making Kai shake her head. She had a completely different take on the whole dynamic by appearance. "Read again. Their body language suggests their close, intimate, but not in the romantic sense. More familial, probably siblings or same generation cousins." She said as she said as she would try to read into it a bit further. She was quite skeptical as she would believe she noticed, slight irregularities in the two, before she would remember where she noticed them being in the same figure to her left. "Funny how the universe works." Kai said as she kept the theory in mind.
"Well, now that you said that, I do see the resemblance." Tera said not aware of what Kai was tihnking.

Unknown to the disguised Cardmon twins they were being observed by another pair. Blackjack and Harmony seemed just relieved things were going fairly well, that is, until Harmony took an awkward step misjudging the distance and began falling face first. Blackjack's roguish grin vanished as the taller male reached over to grab his twin only for Harmony to become startled elbowing him in the ribs. Fortunately Blackjack's actions were successful in keeping Harmony from faceplanting and though Harmony was now standing upright, Blackjack was rubbing his side. "I forgot you are stronger than you look for a moment. Sorry for startling you, Harmony." Blackjack said sounding slightly worried.
"Don't worry about it. I think I was more startled that I stumbled. Walking on two legs isn't as easy as some people make it look." Harmony said with a giggle that made her brother begin to giggle as well.
Then Blackjack was getting this vibe they were being watched and began looking around the park the red irises of his holosuit disguise not so weird given some humans would likely think they were just fancy contact lenses. Then he spotted two girls from a distance before pointing and said "Hey, Harmony, look. There are some girls over there."
"Let's just hope they aren't with those teens from before. Let's go." Harmony said waddling a bit further much like a newborn giraffe but was no longer stumbling over her own two feet. By the time she and Blackjack began approaching the pair her walking was more normal making her envious of how fast her twin brother mastered walking on two legs.
Blackjack's roguish grin returned before he waved and said "Hello over there. Nice day isn't it?"

"Yeah, I guess so, definitely a nice day to be out and about." Tera replied after the other pair approached her and her general. She was a bit awkward as she did not see what Kai saw, and was not used to standing around with arms. She fidgeted with her fingers as she was not sure what to do next.
"Are you okay miss? You seem to be a bit, off balance." Kai said as she was mostly concerned for the girl, but also trying to test her to see if she was also a Digimon in a holosuit, and by extension her sibling. She would start to wonder if she should even inquire but she did see the body language earlier and she also knew it could easily be explained by something as ssimple as a rock in one or both of her shoes. However either way she was trying to show some concern for the girl.
"So, what's a handsome fellow like you doing out in the daylight?" Tera asked jokingly calling Blackjack a vampire. Kai rolled her eyes. "Holosuit malfunctioning or just good sclera contacts?" Tera said brazenly before Kai's eyes opened wide and silently turned towards Tera as she was starting to sweat. "I can't believe she just outright said that- wait that's not out of character. She's about as subtle as the pain from getting hit in the gut by a sumo wrestler." Kai thought to herself.

Blackjack and Harmony took notice of Tera as they watched her fidget. It was clear to the siblings that that girl was a digimon in disguise just like they were but hadn't told her human companion that they were digimon. Then when Kai asked Harmony if she was okay, Harmony looked Kai in the eye before she said "Yeah I'm alright just a bit clumsy, I guess." Sure Harmony didn't give much away but neither twin could predict what was about to happen next.
When Tera approached Blackjack implying he was a vampire he looked at Harmony who had begun chuckling. Yeah his sister wasn't gonna be any help right now. Looking back at Tera, he lightly chuckled before he said "It makes sense that you would be able to tell that my sister and I were digimon since you are a digimon yourself. No my holosuit is not malfunctioning but my cover is that I am wearing crazy contacts." Then his roguish smirk returned before he, in a playful tone, said "And if you think I am handsome in my holosuit you might like my true form."

"Please tell me you aren't a Rareraremon in disguise, that would definitely throw me off..." She said as Kai would grab her Fusion Loader from inside her blazer and smack Tera on the head with it before taking a deep breath, putting it away. "That's ironic coming from the one who just came out and asked a duo we just met if they were Digimon?!" She whisper yelled at Tera not wanting to attract any unnecessary attention. She put away her Fusion Loader as she would try to find some way to salvage the moment.
"Though your cover stories aren't bad. But for now I'd add something along the lines of you're in recovery from a surgery or you have a motor dysfunction if any humans ask until you fully adjust to your bodies. I'm guessing your base forms are limbless or at the very least lack digits?" She said as she would look over the twins. "Wha makes you say that?" She asked and Kai would bite her lip.
"Watching you. As a Pteranomon you had legs which helped you adjust to walking but going from wings to arms was a slight challenge. Your fingers were naturally limp at first." She said before making Tera look down at her fingers and they were strange as some were limp and others weren't. "Not like I delivered to the human world often."

When Tera mentioned the very word Raremon Harmony crinkled her nose before she shook her head and said "Us a Raremon? Oh that is a definite not. Blackjack and I are much cuter small rookie digimon."
Blackjack smiled at his twin sister before he said "Small and cute are a fairly accurate description given Harmony and I are both Cardmon. She is the aquatic Cardmon variant while I myself am the Cardmon variant known for living in trees."
When Kai mentioned about adding the possibility that Harmony's clumsiness was due to surgery or motor dysfunction the aquatic Cardmon scratched her chin before she smiled and said "Add that as a reason for me being a bit clumsy isn't that bad an idea. At least I have been slowly showing sings of being less clumsy so such a cover story won't likely need to be forever."
"You're a Pteranomon?" Blackjack began before he then said "Being able to fly is pretty cool I'll admit that. Shame the only cool thing other than play cards I do is stick to surfaces. Harmony can stay underwater for a long time."

"Cardmon?" Kai asked Tera as the purple haired girl scratched her head for a moment before her tongue clicked. "Quite a rare species of Digimon, and an interesting one. Their base bodies are barely bigger then Child Form but the main visual differing features across the types are color and how many floating card limbs they have." She clarified to Kai as she was barely aware of the kind herself.
"Flying's alright. I made a living off carrying light cargo as a courier for a while until the business suddenly dissolved after my final delivery, which was unfortunately my punishment as it was the Fusion Loader." Tera said as Kai took a deep breath. "Excuse her, she wanted to be the one and only partner for a human and not part of an Xros Army." Kai said as she was used to this sort of behavior.
She said as Tera stuck her tongue out at her for a moment, not happy that Kai brings up that fact whenever she complains about being part of an Xros Army. "So what brings you two to the human world if I may ask?"

"The Cardmon with more cards are higher in level but another way we are special is that the color scheme indicates whether a Cardmon is native to the ocean or the trees. Other than difference in color or number of Cards Cardmon are pretty similar in appearance." Harmony said explaining what Tera did not.
"You delivered cargo before you met Kai. Sounds like you had a pretty good way of making money before you became part of a Xros Army." Blackjack said before Kai asked both siblings to excuse Tera cause apparently she wanted to not be part of a Xros Army. Then Blackjack said "It's okay. I get not all are the type to want to be part of an army but on the bright side you might make some new friends besides Kai, Tera."
When asked what brought Blackjack and Harmony to the Human World Harmony answered "If anything brought us here it was most likely curiosity and the love of adventure. I know exploration isn't for everyone either and that such can bring it's own fair share of potential dangers but at least with Blackjack and I being twins we have better odds of survival what with there being safety in numbers and all."

"I see, I suppose after experiencing the Digital World, wanting to explore something more tame and mundane could be a welcome change of pace. Though to be honest, Shibuya is nice and all but a metropolitan area might not really the best place to start if you don't have local currency." Kai said as she listened to Harmony and did try to offer her own suggestions.
"So that boils down to a city is probably not the best place to start without cash?" Tera said shrugging. "I dunno, I'm just fine at the moment." She said as if to try and prove Kai wrong but Kai looked at her. "Because I paid for the food earlier." Kai pointed out and Tera wanted to make a comeback but was silent as her mouth was left open for a moment while she was stunned speechless. "Yep. case in point. Due to the nature of Earth, always best to keep something for emergencies, or food and shelter even if just visiting an area. Especially if you go too far from Shibuya as it has the only, natural connections to the Digital World." Kai advised as she realized how dangerous it could be since as just a pair of Digimon, they lacked a Digivice with a suitable Digiport to return back immediately. She wasn't trying to be rude but definitely concerned for the duo.
"At this point one would think someone could make a killing off of trading Yen for Bits and vice versa." Kai commented as that definitely seemed like a lucrative business opportunity.

"Yes it is tamer here simply because we aren't either fighting other digimon or dodging potential threats on the daily here. Seems the most excitement we've had here in Shibuya was while we were at school. As for local currency we exchange bits for yen before we leave the Digital World so we can buy things like food or places to stay while we are visiting here." Blackjack said with a smile on his face.
"Now. Now. Blackjack then there's your love of playing cards specifically games like poker or the game that you share a name with. You knack for gambling has helped us get more cash in both the Human or Digital World." Harmony said which caused Blackjack to chuckle.
"Harmony. If anything you are better at some aspects of gambling than I am. I just have more fun with it."
"True, Blackjack. I prefer things like learning. Why do you think I enjoy school more than you do." Harmony said smiling herself.
"Speaking of trading bits for yen, Kai. Do you have any knack for business or something? My sister and I were never much for businessmon ourselves." Blackjack said with his head cocked to the side slightly in a way that made the disguised Cardmon look as if he was curious.

"Well I am quite organized and do know my way around business. I work on the Deeplane Council as part of the Security and Protection department but that's mostly handling the paperwork. I do know my way around litigation as well so I do have strong organizational skills which are vital for managing any business." Kai said as she was curious as to t he origins of the question in general. She had little idea as to what sort of scheme that Blackjack might have been creating. However in the back of her mind she was afraid it was going to be some form of shady proposition, but she did not want to be hasty with suspicions.
"However all businesses are different so it does depend on what sort of business as well as each has their own ins and outs." She said as she would be honest up front on that as well.
"So basic upper management claiming they can manage but might not know everything. Sounds like my former boss- wait, no, business didn't go under, she just randomly decided to sell the company and wander around telling prophecies." Tera said as she was definitely a curious case for intelligence.

Blackjack blinked staring silently for a moment before glancing at his twin sister as it was clear he was amazed by what Kai said. He opened his mouth as if intending to speak to Harmony but his mouth closed and he looked back at Kai before he asked "Deeplane Council? Really? I've heard of that before."
Harmony patted Blackjack's shoulder before she then said "Sorry about Blackjack coming off as blanking out, Kai. He usually isn't like that. I guess learning about you being connected with the Deeplane Council blew his mind. As for us none of us are what one would call those suited for such organizations nevermind running a business. Blackjack and I are definitely wanderers by nature which makes sense given our nature as gamblers."
Then when Tera mentioned what happened with her former boss Blackjack scratched his head in bafflement before he said "So you're boss is into telling prophecies now. Seems odd for a career change that extreme. That would be like if I went from pro gambler to owning a coffee stand."

"I've met the woman, and she is just as Tera describes. Though I believe a more apt description is that she is an oracle who started a delivery business before abruptly closing it. She has some form of Clairvoyance and uses that ability to meddle so things play out as she wants by interfering with events in whichever way she deems, appropriate. That's how she stuck me and Tera with three baby Digimon who joined us." Kai commented as she tried to clarify.
"That does explain why she sought me out- you don't think she started a company just to keep me in check so I wouldn't die for the nineteenth time in a row?" Tera said as Kai wanted to object but she clearly gave it some thought and was clearly pondering it. "Right?" Tera said again as Kai shrugged.
"If you have danger prone children, put them in a padded room, if you have a death prone Pteranomon who can't get past Rookie, give them a job where they feel important." Kai said as she did see the logic. "Besides all that dying and coming back so many times in a short span has got to have given you brain damage or something as everyone else says that is really bad for a Digimon." Kai said as Tera crossed her arms pouting.
"I resent the implications." Tera said annoyed.
"But yeah, Tera's former boss was the one thing keeping Tera alive before getting to me. Luckily she hasn't crashed and burned... yet."

"Your former boss was a she? Was she beautiful?" Blackjack asked seemingly innocently before his twin elbowed him in the side.
"Blackjack!" Harmony exclaimed sternly after Blackjack grunted in pain.
"Easy there, sis, I meant no harm and you know that very well." Blackjack said.
Harmony shook her head before she facepalmed and said "Yeah I know but still you know better."
"Yeah I know." Blackjack said before looking back at Tera before he then said "Sorry about not thinking before I spoke, Tera. I didn't mean to come off as a creep."
When the siblings herd about Kai mentioning three baby digimon, Harmony asked "Wow you two have three kids in your army? Seems wild to wrap your head around."
Blackjack's rougish grin returned after listening to Tera and Kai for a bit before the disguised male Cardmon said "I guess since this clairvoyant isn't keeping Tera out of trouble that has become your job, huh Kai? Good thing you and Tera seem to have each other's backs so maybe those kids will also be okay as well."
