-somewhere outside a club at the edge of a city-
Midnite groaned as the bouncer looked her up and down, grinning like the idiot he was.
"So, Kitty, doing the biker act tonight? Danger looks good on you."
"Oh go wank Dean, you know my shifts never start till one. I'm here purely as a patron tonight."
"whatever you say hon, but you know Clyde'll try and get you up on stage." Midnite sighed, tucking a strand of black and red hair behind her ear as she passed Dean. Yeah, she knew alright.
Midnite walked to the bar, but before she even got there some idiot bumped into her and spilled his drink all over her. she growled and hooked him on the jaw, walking away before he'd finished spinning.
"great." She muttered, the potent smell of rum permeating her nostrils. "just my friggin luck." She headed for the restroom, pushing her way through the mass of undulating bodies on the dance floor. Once inside she hastily stripped the top and zipped up her jacket. It was too tight around the waist, accentuating her hips and pushing her cleavage to the max. "oh bugger." She groaned, now she'd never get the bastards out there to stop making passes at her… "hm… I can always wash it and use Ki to dry it… provided no-one comes in here."
She quickly set about washing the smell of rum from the top, and had just put it on, about to dry it, when a girl and two guys stumbled in, the guys had their hands all over the girl in a way that instantly made Midnite's hackles rise. The girl stared at her blankly, her eyes wide and glazed, she was probably so high she didn't even know her own name.
"Well looky-here Mick, Looks like we have ourselves another prize tonight." Midnite growled as the taller of the two swaggered towards her.
"Sorry bud, but you're not my type." She commented in a bored tone, even as her mind was racing. She could take these two pin-brains out easily if she wanted, but that would mean raising her Ki, and she didn't want to damage anything, she happened to like her job.
"Aw, that's not nice sugar," her blood instantly boiled at the pet name and all thoughts of her job were abandoned as her power level started rising.
"Don't you dare call me that you worthless fucking worm," The guys' expressions darkened as they advanced slowly.
"you foulmouthed bitch, you oughta learn some manners."
/Midnite, are you-?/ Merla's concerned voice filtered into Midnite's mind, but she cut her off.
/I'm fine, butt out./ aloud she said, "Oh, and you think you're going to be the one to teach me? Bring it on Bakayarou!"
The first guy lunged at her and she easily dodged the attack, just as the other, Mick, made a move to hit her, she grabbed his fist and used his own momentum against him, flipping him over her shoulder and into the guy behind her, sending them both to the floor. Mick was the first to jump up and have another go at her, she dropped down into a crouch, knocking his legs from under him. As he tipped forward she lifted up, catching the back fo his head in her right hand she hit his face into the tiles, grimacing as she heard bones crunch. He didn't get up again.
Midnite looked up to see the first guy standing over her, ready to strike. She watched the fist come towards her, but before she could react, a blur of movement sent the guy sprawling across the tiled floor and into the tiled wall. Midnite watched, wide-eyed as Vegeta walked over to where the guy was trying to sit up.
"Did no-one ever tell you it is rude to hit a woman?" he asked, just before punching the guy flat on the nose, knocking him out cold.
Only when Vegeta turned back to her, arms folded and a arrogant smirk plastered on his face did Midnite realize that she was staring. She rose fluidly and stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at him.
"What are you doing here?" she asked haughtily.
Vegeta's eyes widened at the sight in front of him. He slowly took in Midnite's appearance, the boots, thick rubber soles, that allowed for silent footsteps, the lycra leggings, leather that was way too short to be considered a skirt, her hair which had been in a clip now had strands hanging loose, her face flushed in anger, dark lips curled in a angry sneer, and finally the blood-red top that, still wet, clung to every curve, highlighting the fact that Midnite had forgone a certain item of clothing and making his throat suddenly dry. He mentally shook himself and scowled at her angrily.
"You might want to look in the mirror, baka." He growled.
Midnite looked at him blankly before turning her head to look into the basin mirror.
/oh fuck…/she groaned mentally, blushing deeply as she realized that her shirt was still soaked. She hurriedly ducked her head to hide it, noting Vegeta's smirk and focused her Ki on drying her shirt, when it was completely dry she stood up straight, combed a hand through her hair, and shrugged on her jacket over the accursed silk strap top that she'd decided to wear, before turning her back to the prince and, scowling, walked out of the room. She didn't need to look back to know that he was following her, she could feel his eyes on her. she made her way back to the bar, and ordered a double Vodka and lemonade.
"you drinking?" she threw over her shoulder at Vegeta, who's expression darkened at her tone. He gave her a curt nod, thinking that he should have let the bastard hit her, and she ordered another for him.
By the time the drinks were poured, they were both sitting at the bar, pointedly ignoring each other, and watching the live band play on stage, professional dancers dancing on either side. Not, strippers, like most clubs in the area, but actual dancers, that moved like water to the music.
Midnite was about halfway through her drink when her boss, Clyde found her.
"Kitty!" he called crossly as soon as he was close enough to hear, Vegeta arched a eyebrow at the name but didn't comment. "You left a mess in the bathroom. Poor Jenna was worried you'd killed those two boys!" Contradictory to his cross tone, Clyde smiled at her and put his arms around her, giving her a sound kiss. Vegeta felt his pulse jump as she put her arms around him and kissed him back.
Vegeta had to stop himself ripping the guy's throat out as he pulled away, purring. "Dance with me Darling." He said, pulling Midnite off her chair and to the edge of the crowd, well within Vegeta's sight, and they started moving to the music. Vegeta's fist clenched before he caught himself. What the hell was wrong with him? He growled and took a gulp of the drink, keeping his eyes fixed on Midnite, grinding to the music.
"So who's the boyfriend?" Clyde asked in Midnite's ear as he pulled her close against him.
"He's not my boyfriend. He's my future brother-in-law's father. You should know me by now." Clyde chuckled.
"That I should. So what happened to the two in the bathroom? Let me guess, they didn't get the meaning of 'no'. right?" Midnite nodded sheepishly, "Kitten, what on earth am I going to do with you? You do know that you owe me for this now, right?" Midnite pouted at him.
"Please don't tell me tonight." She begged him. But she could see by the glint in his eyes that that was exactly what he was going to tell her. she looked up at the stage. Great. The band was young, dressed in dark clothes or leather. She gave him one last pleading look, but when he only grinned she sighed. "Okay, fine. You want a bat you got a bat." His grin widened and he kissed her again.
"Great. You're up next."
"What?!" she yelped, but he was already dragging her back to the bar.
"Drink up sweetheart." He ordered, handing her her glass and smirking at Vegeta, who gave him a bored look for his effort. Midnite downed the last of her drink and put the glass down just before Clyde put his arm around her waist, causing Vegeta's grip to tighten on his glass, almost to the breaking point. "I Know you from somewhere, ah, that's right, you're Vegeta Briefs, of Capsule Corp. I knew I recognized you. I'm Clyde Basil, I own this place." He grinned when Vegeta's only response was to nod. "Well, Vegeta, you're in for a real treat tonight, you'll get to see Kitty here at her best"
With that Clyde pulled Midnite hastily through the crowd and backstage to change quickly while he walked onto the stage, where the song had just ended.
"Hey everybody! We got a special surprise performance for you tonight, and many of you regulars, will know just who I'm talking about!" there was a loud convoy of catcalls and whistles and he paused until they settled. "Guys and Girls, here she is, the babe of the hour!"
Midnite slipped the boom mike on as the music started, and revved her bike, riding out onto the stage as the crowd screamed. She reared the bike up, grinning as she thought of the first time she'd done it. She did the usual quick spin, standing the bike to the side, she stood up and did a backward flip, landing in a crouch and tapping out the seconds.
/3…2…1…/
"The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets
And down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
Oh i swear i saw a young boy
Down in the gutter
He was starting to foam in the heat"
Midnite grinned into the mike, as the bridge stated and she rose, swirling and swaying with the dancers backing her movements and the band backing her voice, knowing that the room was hanging on the song.
"Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light
But i gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it's over you know
We'll both be so alone"
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell i'll be gone gone gone
Like a bat out of hell i'll be gone when the morning comes
When the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you
Vegeta had forgotten that breathing was necessary from the moment Midnite had ridden out on the back of the black and silver bike, wearing a black leather corset top and silk shorts with a thick studded belt. Her hair all down and hanging around her shoulders in dark waves and her make-up darkened. He watched, transfixed as she danced and sang, her voice every bit as bewitching as her movements. Her movements were graceful and seductive, and her muscles rippled like a snakes in the multi-coloured stage lights.
I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
On a silver black phantom bike
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry
And we're all about to see the light
Nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks
And nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost
And i know that i'm damned if i never get out
And maybe i'm damned if i do
But with any other beat i got left in my heart
You know i'd rather be damned with you
If i gotta be damned you know i wanna be damned
Dancing through the night with you
If i gotta be damned you know i wanna be damned
Gotta be damned you know i wanna be damned
If gotta be damned you know i wanna be damned
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night with you
"Come on everybody, you know what to do!" Midnite yelled into the mike and the guys in the crowd joined her for the next two lines of the song, pulling their partners onto the dancefloor.
"Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light
But i gotta get out" Midnite continued, her voice clear and strong over the music.
"I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it's over you know
We'll both be so alone
Vegeta growled as the two male dancers split from their partners to move around Midnite, running their hands up her sides, moving close enough to grind against her.
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell i'll be gone
At this point one of the men picked her up in his arms, his hands placed perfectly under her ass, and she arched back with each repetition of the word gone. He carried her over to her bike and placed her on the seat, moving away far too slow for Vegeta's liking.
Like a bat out of hell i'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
She sank back till she was almost Lying on the bike.
And the sun goes down
She lifted her right leg provocatively over the front of the bike.
And the moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
She slowly lifted off the bike and into a sitting position
I'll come crawling on back to you
Midnite looked directly at Vegeta as the music disappeared and she repeated the last verse, leaning seductively over the front of the bike, the view sending a flood of heat straight downwards as he watched her, unmoving, unbreathing, unthinking.
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you
Midnite snapped back up, pumping the throttle on her bike and doing a turn on her bike, rearing up again as she rode offstage. Only when she was parked safely backstage did she collapse forward, panting and blushing furiously at how Vegeta had looked at her and knowing that she had been looking at him in the exact same manner.
"Good God Kitty!" Misha, one of the dancing girls walked in, carrying a tall glass in one hand, her face an astonished yet knowing grin. "Who the fuck were YOU thinking of tonight?" Midnite blushed, taking the drink from her and gulping down half of it in one swig, hissing as it seared her throat.
"Kami, how much did Sean put in here, half the bottle?" Misha laughed.
"Close enough. He said you'd need it if the guy you were with was half as uptight as he seemed."
"What's that s'posed to mean?" Midnite asked hotly.
"Oh come on, He looks like someone shoved a pineapple up his ass."
"He does not. He's just quiet. Lay off him, you don't know him." Misha's eyes widened at the angry flush that coloured Midnite's cheeks.
"Oh my god. You dig him!" she accused. Midnite turned away, and growled,
"You're smoking something."
"And you're lying. You are totally int-" Midnite felt Vegeta's Ki suddenly appear behind her and in a flash had whipped around to cover Misha's mouth with a hand.
"If you finish that sentence I will Murder you." She growled softly in Misha's ear and stepped back just as Vegeta stepped out of the shadows behind her.
Vegeta had been watching the whole time from the shadows, his Ki lowered. He had walked in earlier, after the girl with the drink, intent on demanding Midnite to answer some questions of his when he's heard them talking, he'd lowered his Ki and slipped into the shadows, listening to their conversation and drinking in everything about them.
So, the brat 'dig'ed him? But what on earth did that mean to these crazy humans? He stepped forward lazily, raising his Ki as if he'd IT'd there.
Misha looked between the two, grinning like a idiot, and just stepped forward.
"Hi, I'm Misha. You must be Vegeta?" he briefly shook her extended hand, having learnt to do so from Bulma, and nodded. "Nice to meet you. You're way fit, you know."
Vegeta looked at her as if she were nuts. "Of course. I train daily." Misha looked confusedly at Midnite who was busy wishing the earth would just swallow her. she was mercifully saved from answering by Brian, the dancer that had carried her onto her bike earlier jogging backstage.
"Kitty, Darling, you were Gorgeous up there, only one problem." He said, kissing her on both cheeks. Vegeta's fist clenched, a fact that didn't go unnoticed by Misha, who winked at him and murmured in his ear.
"Don't stress, Brian has a boyfriend, and even if he didn't, our little kitten would shred him with those claws of hers if he made a pass at her."
"Oh no. they want an encore?" midnite asked with a sigh. Brian nodded.
"yup, but not just any encore. Clyde wants Hero." Midnite gulped, her eyes flicking to Vegeta, and nodded. /Dende, what did I ever do to you to deserve this?/ she asked silently looking skyward. She then shrugged and smiled at Brian. No use getting worked up over it. She thought as she walked onto stage., picking up her boom mike on the way and slipping it back on.
"I here Y'all wanna hear another song?" and the crowd immediately screamed for the chosen song. She walked over to the band and the music started.
Where have all good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
(Chorus)
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life larger than life
Midnite glanced to the side and saw Vegeta watching her from the shadows and she felt herself blush as her eyes flicked over him of their own accord. She shook herself mentally and carried on with the performance.
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
Midnite locked gazes with Vegeta as she sang.
I could swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like a fire in my blood
She blushed and looked back at the crowd, determined not to look at him again as she finished the song.
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I Need A Hero.
Midnite raised her arms as she dragged out the last note and dropped into a bow as she abruptly cut it, the band, who had been watching her for the cue, cut in perfect unison with her as if they had rehearsed it a million times. She rose and smiled to the crowd, switching off her mike as she walked over to Clyde.
"Get Tammy to bring my baby out front please, it's midnight, and Cinderella's time is up." She frowned, and in a hushed voice added, "And I'd appreciate it if you kept Vegeta busy while I leave."
She handed him her mike and turned back to the crowd. "Catch me boys!" she yelled and did a running jump off the stage, landing in the middle of the crowd, caught by a group of men who lowered her gently to her feet, not without letting her slide through their hands first though. Midnite took one last look at the corner Vegeta was in, a sad smile crossing her face as she turned away again and slithered for the door, but not before catching the bottle of Vodka Sean threw at her. He smiled, knowing that she'd pay him back for it the next time she saw him.
When she got outside she dropped her Ki and walked over to Tammy who was standing next to her bike. Midnite took the keys from her and thanked her forbringing it out for her.
"No problem Kit, but seriously, I dunno why you running away from that briefs guy, he's hot."Midnite just smiled at her.
"So how did Clyde keep him busy?" she asked. And tammy grinned evilly.
"He 'accidentally' let slip to the ladies that he he was a candidate for the world tournament and that he was a legend in the martial arts world. They're all trying to take a piece out of him as we speak. You better scram Kitty." She stepped back as Midnite started the bike and gave it a rev. Midnite nodded to her and hit the gas, shooting out onto the main road and driving off. She stopped at the first open bottle store and bought another bottle of vodka, putting it in the bag next to its partner. Then she was off again. She drove until she came to a deserted strip of road. She stopped, revved the engine, and then gunned the bike to top speed until she was almost flying down the narrow road. When she reached the end of the road she slowed enough to make a u-turn, and then gunned back up the road again and headed home.
When she got there, she parked her bike, sprinted upstairs, grabbed a change of clothes in the form of a black bikini, baggy black jeans and a T-shirt, a hoodie and a pair of sneakers. She threw the lot into a backpack along with a towel and then sprinted into the kitchen, left a short note for whoever got home first that she'd be back later, and sprinted back outside, locking the door behind her.
Taking a running start, Midnite jumped into the air and flew to a deserted beach that was almost an hours drive from the city. Once there she flew to her cave and dropped her backpack to the floor before carefully setting the drink down on a small ledge behind her. she opened one bottle and started drinking.
