No one would have thought the two would start seeing each other and stayed together, but they did. Eventually the two softened to one another. Some nights, when he was around, he would sneak into her tiny apartment that was situated on the edge of Demacia. On other rare nights, she would head to the park in Noxus and meet him there. Never once did she had the guts to waltz into the Du Couteau's mansion- at least not with Cassiopeia and Katarina present. But she has yet to attempt, the sisters tend to stay home locked away. Sometimes he would tease her for her cowardice and she would pout, huffing her anger. They know, however, if the wrong anyone were to find out- one would end up dead.

Tonight, it was Talon who snuck into Quinn's bed. His rather hazardous cape was off, tossed onto the floor somewhere to the side and he liked Quinn(better) when she was not wearing any Demacian armour. She sleeps with more drab clothing, commoner's clothing. It didn't remind him how he was her supposed enemy. He slipped into her bed. Some sleep he would like, but Quinn was a big distraction. He faced her back and using a gloveless hand, he traced her spine or doodled along her back. He knows she would wake and she does. Sluggishly she turned her head and gave a slight glare.

"Hello." He greeted with the tiniest of smiles- he wasn't used to smiling for something else but victory.

"Hi... You know that tickles and it would wake me up from precious sleep. Right?" She glared. She was starting to doubt his ability to understand that sleep is damn well precious- since this was the seventy-seventh time.

"I know, you don't disappoint me. I'm glad you have your guard up." He remarked. He continued to trace her ribs.

"I need the sleep Talon. I have a mission tomorrow in Bilgewater." She wanted no back talk- but of course he had to be feeling rather bratty.

"I'm just worried that I won't see you for a long time." A lame and out of person excuse he made just to hear her voice.

"Talon." She pressed her lips into a thin line.

"Quinn." She glared at him, "I'm happy to know that you know my name. Otherwise I would be quite sad if you did not." She added more strength to her glare. "Alright, I'll stop." He surrendered.

"Thank you." She finally smiled.

"Sweet dreams." He began to play with her hair.

"You..." She fell fast asleep.

When he woke to, she was gone. Perhaps she's still home. Most likely not. She had left him a note on her table.

Talon,

Please burn this letter after you're done reading it or something. I'll be in Bilgewater for a week or so. Please don't come, you'll make my mission harder.

Quinn.

Of course she should have known that the last line was a lure and not a repellent. Talon liked to mess with her- in an affectionate- who is anyone kidding, he generally messed with her for fun. He didn't know what mission she had in Bilgewater or why the prince had sent her there. However, it was so lawless- the 'perfect' vacation for Quinn as she described. Yet with fights that breaks out on every street- there was an unwritten rule. Do not involve an outsider, the last time it happened, Miss Fortune brutally ended the brawl. All he knows is that he needs a mission. A mission in Bilgewater.

The mansion was louder than usual. Katarina was punching something or rather someone. Talon approached the old general's office- now it belonged to the heiress of the Du Couteau. Inside, Katarina was punching a Noxian official.

"Katarina I would not do that if I were you." Talon advised.

"I do what I want." She spat. Just as she was about to punch the official again, Talon stopped it and redirected to his chest. She then continued to punch the assassin. The beaten official took the chance to scram away to safety.

"Why beat the poor man?" Dripping with sarcasm. These days, without the general, no one can seem to do their job correctly.

"He brings news that one of the officials had ran away to Bilgewater." A mission he would gladly take. "I was going to get him myself, but I need to deal with the officials here. Now."

"I'll go." Talon declared. The redhead raised an eyebrow at him, never was he so eager for a mission from her. He would rather stay locked up or out looking for clues of the general. "What's the mission?"

"Silence him." And he was gone, "But don't let Demacia or Swain get to him first..." She finished alone. But it didn't mattered, he would surely finish it in no time. She hoped.

First things first, find a place to stay or fend himself for the night, he likes Quinn's room the best. But the chances of him finding her here were slim. By chance he looked up at the windows of an inn. A silhouette of a bird and a female were engaged in a friendly bickering match. He smiled, Lady Luck was on his side. He hid in the alleyway waiting for the street to clear. When the street was empty he snuck into her room- again and slipped into her bed. Her face to his, he poked her cheek, then her nose and lastly her forehead. She woke up.

"Hello"

"Hi, I'm not dreaming. I know it." She frowned.

"You're right. I have a mission here." Quinn stared at him, hoping for some kind of lie.

"Oh."

"I hoped you didn't missed me." Talon smirked.

"It's only been two days." No answer, "Well, goodnight." Quinn fell asleep.

Miss Fortune knew Quinn was in town for some kidnapping mission. While being a old friend of hers, she wanted nothing to harm the relationship between Bilgewater and Noxus. Better get the worm out faster than lightning striking them. She wanted to talk to Quinn, and help her catch the bug. Miss Fortune knocked on the wooden door. No answered replied.

The bounty hunter knocked again. No answer. She wondered if the scout was in the bath, she opened the door. Turns out she was not in the shower, nor was she alone.

"Oh. Sweet dreams." Miss Fortune whispered and promptly shut the door. She was surprised for sure. She didn't think she would ever find a companion like him, save for Valor. Well, she did figured that if she were to find someone, it's be a dangerous one- not one that was too dangerous and too scandalous. The bounty hunter left a note to the inn keeper for Quinn- she even added a winky face.

Early in the morning when Quinn was awake, and Talon was surprisingly lazy- still in bed, the innkeeper knocked on the door. Quinn whipped around.

"Hide!" She growled. Talon coolly slipped his head under the blankets, pulling it over his head. Quinn glared. Beautiful hiding for an assassin, ever a scout could do better.

Quinn opened the door to the innkeeper's son. He was a young and average looking man. The son stared at her, sure Quinn wasn't the curviest lass around, but she was still beautiful. The silence was far too long for Talon's liking. He took the rock he found under the tattered mattress and threw it across the room. The man jumped and Quinn quickly glared at the supposedly-not-there man hiding in her bed.

"Is something the matter?" Quinn recomposed herself.

"Oh, um, uh, Miss Fortune," He waited for her nod, "Uh, she left a note for you." And he begun to stare at her again. He was- without question, comparing the two girls. Quinn was more passive than Miss Fortune when it came to charming men. "Uh, would you like to uh, have dinner with me?" The son gathered his courage.

"Oh, um, I-" Quinn was taken back, it was rare for someone to ask her out to dinner. Talon coughed. Suddenly, the man was sweating bullets.

"I, um, I didn't know you have a man." The son ran away, after thrusting the note into her hands.

Quinn stared at the son, and then closed the door.

"Talon! What part of hiding don't you understand?! You're an assassin!"

"You're right. I kill people without them knowing it."

"Talon!"

"I'm here." He appeared behind her, a knife hand against her throat and his other around her waist.

"Why are you here? In my room? Couldn't you find your own inn?"

"The note."

"Oh right." Dammit, how easily distracted she was.

Dear Quinn and Talon;

I found the two of you kinda cute. Never thought you two would actually. Well nevermind, Quinn why don't you join me for lunch today? I hope you had a very nice evening.

Sarah ; )

Quinn's hand quivered, crumpling the small paper. She glanced at Talon. He was indifferent. What should we do? And a little fear was written on her face.

"Go to lunch with her. Act normal." He whispered. Easy for him to say, he was raised in Noxus!

"And what will you do?"

"I will complete my mission." With that he disappeared. Quinn always wanted to learn how to do that.

She strolled around the city square, the sea smell washed over the area. Quinn was taking the sight as she walked by the ports, when she saw a red flash of deep red. It was Miss Fortune, waving her over. Quinn made her way and took the seat in front of the hunter. The hunter was smirking, dammit, Quinn would be having a harder time acting normal now.

"Afternoon Quinn." She leaned on her crossed hands, supported on her elbows.

"Good afternoon." Quinn replied. Soon Valor perched on an empty chair.

"Afternoon Valor." Valor squawked in return. "Last night-"

"-You could have told me in advance." Quinn stated.

"Likewise, you could have told me about the man in your bed." Miss Fortune rebounded. Maybe she didn't know it was Talon. It was delusional denial.

"Miss For-"

"You have all the rights to call me Sarah."

"S- Sarah, why does my love life concern you? Or anyone of the matter fact?"

"It peaks everyone's (mine) interest; the grieving, most modest dressing and commoner-born Demacia's Wings got a man before pretty boy could ask Lux out. Don't tell me that it's just the status and Garen stopping Ezreal."

"But it is!" Quinn cried.

"Ezreal is a prodigy and a wealthy, smart, young man. What more can they ever ask for?"

"Why did you call me to lunch?" Quinn ended the love talk. Sarah pouted.

"Well... I found out that a Noxian bug had slipped his way in and is taking refugee here. I think Katarina would hate to find out he is here, and well politically Noxus has the best relationship with us. I don't want to risk it because that maggot is here. So why not accept my help to capture the maggot? Isn't it your mission to charm him?"

"Capture him."

"Kidnap, it's all the same." Miss Fortune loves swinging everything to her beat, "Are you in or out?"

"In." It caused Miss Fortune to smile.

Talon scaled a building in some alley. The alley is always his friend- a trustworthy one. His target was definitely not stupid and that itself made up half the fun. The other half belonged to the background factors; his ability to fight or flee, his worth and his fear.

The assassin surveyed from the roofs, hoping to find the bug. The crowds of the streets hid the bug well, but not well enough for Talon and Valor. Valor screeched, a signal to both Talon and Quinn. One was to kill now, the other to come. Talon went in for the kill, a cutthroat in, a swipe and a flashing out. Oblivious citizens jumped at the blood, and one or two children had screamed, causing the girls to run faster. The girls arrived to a pool of blood. A clean kill. Quinn clenched her fist. Someone wanted him silenced- most likely someone from Noxus.

"It looks like the work of an assassin." Put one and one together and you get two. "Talon."

"What?" Quinn woke from her anger. Had Sarah Fortune found out who the man was?

"Talon was most likely the one who killed the man."

"How about Katarina or LeBlanc?" It seemed reasonable at first.

"Oh hun, don't be unreasonable. Katarina is too busy for the likes of a maggot, and LeBlanc would surely leave some sort of clue behind. Besides wasn't Talon the one sleepi-" Quinn quickly pulled the hunter into an alley.

A rather empty and uncomfortable alley. Someone was watching from a distance. Was it a summoner? A Demacian or a Noxus soldier? Or was it someone with a hidden agenda?

"It was not Talon." Quinn gritted.

"And proves my point. Since when have you been able to out lie me?" The other lady smiled.

"Enlighten me." Quinn was hostile.

"Who else has a cape like his? And don't pull any lame excuse. I've seen enough of the cape and man to know he doesn't have any worshippers nor is he a common man." Miss Fortune was right. Talon had no rights to complain about her attire now. His was just as flashy- maybe even more so than hers. "I'm right." Sarah smiled, dripping with victory. "I was right from the start."

"The cape was stolen." Quinn blurted. The redhead gave Quinn the unbelieving look. "Tha- that man," Quinn gulped, she was going to lie to Sarah, "was Garen."

"Because he is so by the book and delightfully stubborn for you."

"Fine! Xin Zhou is a bit prideful-"

"Lies." Miss Fortune spat. Well there goes Xin Zhou's pride if he were to ever know- which was not going to happen.

"It was the prince! The prince!" Quinn cried.

"Jarven is too dutiful and too busy of Shyvana for you." Of course Quinn was a bit hurt.

Who was next? Lucian? No, he is a widower blinded by revenge. Ezreal? He is currently courting Lux. Jayce? A man too good for anyone but him. Any Bilgewater man is too undisciplined for her. Many Ionian males were too disciplined for her- that or just too damned blinded. Freljord males couldn't understand her and Noxians are plain no. No one was left.

A young man walked by. Quinn grabbed him by his shirt and gave him a hard kiss. Nothing special, just lips to lips- nothing else.

"This was the man, my companion, Shay." Quinn introduced.

"But my name is-"

"Shay, are you being forgetful again?" Quinn glared.

"No... I'm sorry my dear. I should go get us some dinner now. Have fun the friend of my dear." 'Shay' acted and then fled the scene.

"Who is he?" Sarah bluntly asked.

"Sh- I'm not sure." Quinn gave up.

"To kiss a random man- you got guts Quinn. I like that." Miss Fortune smirked.

It was time to change the plan, could a pirate hunter feel pity? Quinn was just to test that.

"Please, please don't tell anyone!"

"Tell who?" Miss Fortune and Talon asked. More like she feigned and he growled.

"Talon?" Quinn called out. He jumped down from the roof.

"Who was he?" He growled angrier.

"A stranger." Sarah answered. Talon stopped for a second before taking hold of the bird tamer's chin and kissed her. A kiss that was more possessive and intense. "Oh wow, how hot." Sarah commented. "I'll- I'll just leave you two be." Before she left, Talon grabbed her wrist, breaking apart from the kiss.

"You won't tell anyone."

"Aye captain." Miss Fortuned sighed. She hated being the third wheel, she needs to find a man of her own soon. When she left, Talon resumed the kissing. He pressed her against the wall. Quinn couldn't protest anymore.

"Talon!" She pushed him away. "Did you killed that bug?"

"Why did you kissed that man?"

"I asked first."

"I believe my question is more important."

"That man," he killed, "was my mission." Quinn growled.

"I don't appreciate you kissing another man."

"I had to! I couldn't tell her the truth."

"But she knew. She knew the truth from the start." Quinn was defeated.

"Why did you come here? I told you to not to." Quinn was angry at the assassin, but she knew she had no reason to restrain him from coming here. Talon was a bit hurt, but to keep his pride, he didn't show it.

"I'll go." Talon disappeared. With the mission over, they both returned home.

Talon silently walked into his room. He shut the door and took his anger out on his table. It landed with a loud sound. Katarina in the office stopped working, Talon is home? Reporting to me is the first thing anyone do after a successful mission. Katarina sighed, she approached his room. She knocked on his door- no answer. She then proceeded to open it, his room was different than usual. His cape was not properly put away and well, his table was in pieces around the room. Katarina eyed the paper on his bed, she read it. She was definitely baffled. Why would a Demacian scout be writing notes to a Noxian assassin? Then she realized why he took the mission. The Du Couteaus loves to play with their toys. Unfortunately he was angry about something- it was unlike him to show his emotion, much less act on it. Maybe he was training, she walked down the memory lane to the training room. It's been a while since she's been to the private gym. She didn't dare use It like Talon after he went missing. She found him, mulling a dummy apart.

"Talon." It was no use, her voice was drowned out by his grunts. "Talon!" He finally stopped.

"What?"

"The mission. How did it go? Well I hope."

"Ah, yes..." He turned away.

"You don't sound too happy about completing the mission. Tell me, was he fun chasing? Or was he boring?" Katarina intrigued.

"He was boring, he just cowered in one spot." Not like he had time to do anything.

"Oh, that's a shame." An awkward silence came too. "Say, are you seeing someone?

"What?"

"Like a girlfriend or someone! I mean if it's a boyfrie-"

"No."

"You sure? Cause you remind me of someone who has 'love' problems" Katarina quoted.

"I do-"

"Is that how you describe your beloved sister?" Cassiopeia slithered in with grace.

"No. You're still my beloved sister. So why are you out of your room? I thought you hated to be seen, and Talon isn't your go to girl."

"I was looking for you. I want to get something, but I couldn't find you."

"What do you want to get?" Katarina crossed her arms. Cassiopeia grew a smile. She slithered closer and hugged her sister's arm.

"I want a new crown! Thank you!"

"Say, little sister," Cassiopeia frowned at her sister, she hated being called 'little sister', "Doesn't Talon remind you of you? The anger when you couldn't get something you want?"

Cassiopeia slithered towards the male assassin and circled him, closing in on him.

"Don't you find me as beautiful as her?" She hissed seductively.

"You are fine." He remained stoic.

"But what about her?"

"Who?" Quinn.

Cassiopeia frowned at his answer.

"Sister, I give up on him. I was at least not as stubborn as him." Katarina scoffed, in return the lamia frowned.

"I'll get you a new crown." Katarina apologized. Cassiopeia returned to her room with her older sister following her.

Quinn sat on her bed, and Valor on her lap. She began to scratch his neck. With a sigh, Valor chirped in worry.

"I kissed a stranger to hide the fact- why did he even came to Bilgewater? He knew that I had a mission."

Valor squawked the reason.

"I know he had one too, and I know I can't stop him..." Silence fell. "I'll talk to him later." She decided.

It was a week later, when she found the courage and time to go to speak with him. She sent Valor as the messenger, he flew by his window. Talon knew it was Valor, but to others, they would think it was the crazy crow. Talon immediately set out for the park. He found her sitting on a rock. Even though it was called a park, it was run downed and kids only had rocks and boulders.

"Quinn." She looked at him. "It's been a while."

"Yeah..." He couldn't find the light in her eyes anymore. A long silence was born. "Why did we went to each other? You wanted clues and needed help. I was taking advantage of you in hopes I could get some intel for Demacia. That mission," please don't remind him. "It shows where our loyalty lies."

"So what of it? You'll always be a Demacian and I will always be part of Noxus."

"Exactly." Talon had no idea what she wanted to say- but it was not for the good.

"Why do you say this?"

"This is benefitting no one! We can't be friends anymore!" It wasn't going exactly how she planned.

"We never were! Friends don't go kissing someone else in front of them, and we were never friends. I don't go kissing a friend."

"We're rivals." Quinn stated.

"We are rivals." Talon repeated, disliking how it sound.

Notes:
This is the end of the one-shot. Though, if you want, you could read the next chapter when it comes out. I can't say who exactly is the main main main characters, but there is definitely lots of Quinn, Miss Fortune, Yasuo, Talon and some Oc's that would be the point of this whole story. Any mistakes, tell me, and though this is heavy-based on lores, I tend to not pay attention to timelines... Like I won't know what year this happened and I may turn to some old lores that were replaced. Any mistakes tell me, or PM me. Honestly I prefer PM's.

Extra: Thanks to ADamnGoodName. I appreciate that calling on the names, because now, readers don't have to misread names anymore : D And Sorry Shogun526, I wasn't aware of that correction you made. Forgive me! (I don't want to be the unforgiven...)
