David Xanatos sat in his office staring expectantly at the door. In a mere second the door slammed open and in the doorway stood a tall imposing woman. She was dressed in a tight white dress with a long neck line, and upon her head was a gigantic feather hat with roses decorated about it. She stared towards Xanatos who merely smiled and motioned for her to sit in the chair in front of his desk. Smirking she tilted her hat and strutted her way over to the seat. Sitting herself down she rest her legs on the desk and folded her arms behind her head. "So, to what do I owe this invitation?"
"I hear you're quite talented at what you do." Xanatos took out an envelope and slid it over to the woman who kicked the envelope off and then she leaned forward and glared at him.
"What makes you think I'll just accept this little job you have for me? I have a lot of other things to be doing. Wings to clip and all that."
Xanatos smiled and nodded his head. "That's exactly why I want you to do this job for me. I promise I'll make it worth your while." Standing up, Xanatos walked over to a monitor that was at the side of the room and turned it on. "You see a little while ago there was an incident with my son." As he hit play images of a gigantic blue man appeared on the screen as he attacked Xanatos' tower.
The woman raised an eyebrow and began to smile. "Oh... its that kind of problem is it? Thought it'd just be your run of the mill rat problem." Xanatos than motioned for her to pick up the evelope, which she proceeded to do. She whistled as she opened it. "Let's see... ooo... that's a lot of money." Shutting the envelope she tossed it at Xanatos face and crossed her arms.
"That's not exactly a sum to sneeze out you know." Xanatos raised an eyebrow and looked the woman in the eye. "Perhaps there is something else your looking for?"
"Oh no, I want cash. You just haven't hit my itch yet."The woman scratched her chin and smiled teasingly at Xanatos.
"How much are we talking?" Xanatos smiled and bent down to pick up the envelope.
"I'll let you know after you tell me more about this... incident." She looked at the screen and tapped the side of her face.
"That entity you see on the screen is known as Oberon, King of the third race. He attempted to kidnap my son, and suffice it say I haven't really... let that incident go." Xanatos walked back to the desk and sat at his seat. "So tell me, what amount are you looking for?"
"Hmm... you have a pen?" she smirked as Xanatos handed a pen over to her. She then began writing on the envelope than tossed it over to him. As he looked the sum over his eye twitched. "How badly do you want your payback? I don't fight gods for kicks... well actually I do, but I won't kill one for you unless its worth my time. This guy has done nothing to warrant my personal ire." The woman licked her lips and leaned back into her chair. "A billion is just a poultry sum when it comes to murdering a god wouldn't you say?"
"I suppose that is accurate." Xanatos leaned back into his chair and looked downward with a furrowed brow.
"Tick tock." the woman pulled out an ornate watch in the shape of a crescent moon and waved it back and forth. "I have people to see, things to do. Five... four... three..."
"All right!" Xanatos sighed and rubbed the side of his head. "All right, I'll give you what you want."
"One more thing actually." The woman leaned back onto the desk and rested her head in her hands.
"What is that?"
"How did you find me?" Bayonetta tapped the desk and raised an eyebrow.
"Your exploits, though not known to all, are not exactly the most secret thing in the world. All I had to do was look for someone with your set of skills, and you ended up to be top one on the list." Xanatos smirked and pressed a button on his intercom. "Owen, come up here would you? We have a document to write up."
The woman sighed and leaned back into her chair. "Was hoping you did a little more than look into your magical yellow pages." She twisted some of her hair around her finger and looked suspiciously at Xanatos. "Tell me... what or who was it that you used to find out about me."
"Sir?" Owen came in and walked over to Xanatos side.
"Ah, Owen." Xanatos clapped his hands motioned him towards a computer that was placed in the corner.
The woman raised an eyebrow and adjusted her glasses, watching Owen carefully. "I think I see where you got your info." The woman smiled and stood herself up. "Strange company you seem to be taking isn't it Mr. Xanatos?"
Owen looked over his shoulder at the woman and just gave her cold stare. "On the document would that be Bayonetta, or do you have some other name you'd like to go by?"
"You pick. I don't really mind what you decide." Bayonetta flipped some of her hair away and walked over to Xanatos who was telling Owen what to write. Sitting herself on the desk next to him, Bayonetta grabbed Xanatos by the collar and pulled him up to her face. "Tell me? Where is the being I'm supposed to dispatch?"
"Not entirely sure myself where they are, and I doubt Owen is able to just say." Xanatos looked over at Owen who nodded his head.
"Then how am I gonna do this job for you?" Bayonetta leaned back and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh we know someone who may be able to help with it..." Xanatos smiled wickedly and looked over his shoulder. "You'll have to meet them at night though."
Bayonetta summoned a gun and began to spin it around. Owen began printing out the document than placed it in front of her. She lifted it up and gave the paper a kiss, leaving red lipstick on the paper. Handing it back to Owen, the man raised an eyebrow and gave it back to Xanatos. "All right then..." Bayonetta pointed her gun at the screen showing Oberon then pulled the trigger. As smoke rose from the screen she smirked and looked back to Xanatos. "Where do I get the info and who is it from?"
