"Ready to go, my Princess of Darkness?" Robin's grin spread wide across his face as he looked the boy up and down.
"Fuck you, Robin!" the Cal shot back angrily.
"Don't make promises you can't keep," the Puck retorted. He once again oogled Cal. They were going undercover tonight. Unfortunately for Robin, it was not 'under the covers'. The gang was chasing down a rather nasty vampire, where else, but at a Goth club. Promise new a friend of the guy who owned the place and had recommended the agency to clean house. Some Vlad wannabe was luring the clubers and draining them dry. Not that he cared for humans much, but the owner wanted the guy stopped before he did away with all the customers. Only humans payed for that kind of Gothic shit.
It was a gay club; males only. That took Promise out of the adventure and Niko had put on his 'don't even think about it face'. Of course, Robin didn't mind, but he just couldn't show up alone.
***Earlier in the week***
"I guess it's up to you and I to do the dirty work, huh, kid?" the Puck said smiling at Cal.
Flipping Robin off, "Screw you, Loman. You can go there all by your pervy self. Just let us know who to kill after."
"Well," the Puck warned, "one of you needs to come with me. That is my condition." He shot a hopeful expression at Niko. The blonde's face remained impassive and then he turned to Cal, "You need to go with Robin."
"Hell no, Cyrano," the younger Leandros said full of indignation. "I'm not going. Not this time. I'm sure he'd rather have you to show off on his arm as a kind of trophy: like a lion's head on a wall." He threw in a dark, self satisfied grin for good measure.
The elder regarded the younger. He shouldn't have teased the blond. "Cal, you're going," Niko repeated calmly.
"I don't think you heard me the first time, grandpa, but I said no." Cal finised by, literally, putting his foot down; hard.
***************
So, after all that, Cal was on his way to the club.
