(Jojo / Jjba X Reader) A 7TH Stand User Joins The Party

The next morning, you arrived in Cairo. You gave a yawn as you stepped off the train, raising your arms over your head in a stretch.

You were finally here, huh… you took a quick look around the train station. “Think Dio knows how close we are?” you asked, looking over at the others in your group.

“I doubt there's any way he couldn't know,” said Avdol, “but even though we’re close, Cairo is a vast city. We will have to search thoroughly, and work our way in towards the center.”

You nodded, letting out a sigh. Maybe the end of your journey wasn't quite as close as you believed.

The six of you climbed into a car, driving off towards the city. You were dropped off at the edge of the vast city, and began your search.

By the afternoon, the five of you were exhausted. You’d been walking around the city for hours, asking random people if they’d seen the building in the photo that Joseph's stand had produced. So far, you had no luck.

Morale was getting low, and you could tell, “Hey,” you said, “why don't we take a break?”

Joseph gave you a look.

“Just for 30 minutes. We can go grab a drink at a restaurant, okay?” You clarified, looking around at the others, “and while we’re in there, we can ask some of the patrons if they’ve seen that building, Okay?”

“I, for one, would like a cold drink,” Polnareff said, crossing his arms, “whether the rest of you come or not, I’m going.” and he started off for a nearby cafe.

The others shrugged a bit and everyone followed after him, going into the cafe, and going up to the bar at the front.

The barista turned as everyone approached, “Greetings, strangers. What can I get you?” he asked.

Joseph pulled the photos out of his wallet, “We have a couple questions first.” He said, placing the photos down on the bar, “We’re looking for this building. Have you seen it?”

“Stranger.” The man said, looking up at Joseph, “This is a cafe.” he gestured to the array of bottles behind him, “It is customary to order drinks before asking questions.”

Joseph nodded, “we’ll have five iced teas”. At the same moment, Avdol pulled out money, placing it onto the counter.

You would have liked to order for yourself, but you didn't bother to complain, iced tea was fine.

The barista looked at the photos as he poured the teas, finally pushing the drinks forward.

You reached for yours, taking a sip of it. It was so cold that it almost burned in comparison to the hot air. You held it between your hands, just savoring the cool feeling on your palms.

Beside you, the four men downed theirs immediately.

Alright then. Seems like they weren't planning on staying long. You quickly finished your drink as well, pushing the glass back towards the barista.

The man sighed, and pushed the photos back towards Joseph, “Never seen the place.” he said, turning away.

Joseph took the photos, heading to ask the rest of the patrons of the cafe, while you stood back with Polnareff.

“... it would probably just be easier if we got attacked. Then at least we could interrogate them.” you said with a sigh, leaning against a pillar.

“Right? Maybe they’re all scared or something.” Polnareff said, flashing you a grin.

You laughed, shaking your head, “maybe they’re all concealing themselves so we can’t take anyone hostage.”

“What a pain.”
