I do not own
Celeste yawned and stretched, she looked to the other side of her bed, he was gone. She smiled when she saw the money, her stomach growled. She sighed and got up.
She opened her closet and picked out a black corset, tight pants and a leather jacket. She smiled when she sniffed, breakfast was cooking.
She put them on, putting her deodorant on and headed to her kitchen. She smiled when she saw her maid, Belinda was putting scrambled eggs on her plate.
"How are your children?" She asked sitting in her seat.
"My youngest, has a bit of a fever." Belinda said putting the toast on her plate and putting it in the sink ready to wash.
"That's too bad." Celeste said starting to eat her scrambled eggs.
Belinda nodded; she picked up the empty basket and headed to the bedroom.
"Can you turn on the TV, please?" Celeste asked turning to the TV
"Of course." Belinda said going to the sofa, she picked up the remote and turned the TV on. She headed into the bedroom.
Celeste was eating breakfast when she saw it was on a news channel. She sighed and listened on how cars were stuck and a train was coming their way.
She sighed and went into the bedroom, seeing Belinda putting the dirty clothes into the basket. Her sheets were already in their.
"Have people to save." She took off her clothes and putting on a short skirt with chains, and a red halter top. She put her black hair in a ponytail and put on a wig. This wig was two colors, one half was red another was black.
"Got to go." She said opening the window and flying out.
Belinda closed the window, grabbing the basket and headed to the laundry room.
"How can you do work for a whore ?" A new butler asked shaking his head.
She looked at him as she was putting the wet sheets into the dryer. "She has helped me, she has sheltered me and my three boys and she even let's me cook dinner for them at her house. Truth is she's depressed and lonely."
"She should use the money on pills not clothes." He said going back to his laundry.
With Celeste
She flew down, she ignored everyone yelling at her. She hated days when she had to be coherent. She rolled her eyes looking at the woman.
She picked the car up, and let herself get hit with the train.
"You could have injured that woman!" Is what she heard a lot.
"Would you rather she be dead?" She asked ready to fly off.
"I am glad she was here, I would have been dead." A woman said "I truly thank you."
Celeste nodded "Since you helped me , I was wondering if I could help you." The woman said
Celeste raised an eyebrow"All right."
She picked her up and then the car and flew into the air.
"So where do you live?" Celeste asked
The woman showed her to her house. She let her go and put the car in the garage.
"I never caught your name? " The woman said waiting for her at the porch.
"Celeste, for now." She looked at the house as she got closer to, it was beautiful. "What is your name?"
"It's Rhea." She said smiling
"Babe, I'm glad your back." A man said though he stopped when he saw Celeste.
"She will explain." Celeste said pointing to his wife.
He nodded looking to his wife "Well I have a genius idea. I will help your image with the public."
Rhea said walking into the kitchen, "Oh really?" Celeste said with a smile
She stopped when she saw a child, the husband bumped into her. "Sorry." He said
She looked at him"No the fault is mine." She stared at the child as she sat down.
"Are you okay?" He asked eyeing her
She nodded looking from the kid to him. "Yes, I just don't know much about kids." She admitted uneasy.
"Don't worry Aaron is calm." He said with a smile.
Aaron ran up to her smiling at her. The parents were watching as the hero and their son interacted.
Celeste felt the child's eyes on her, she started to feel uncomfortable. "Do you have anything hard to drink?"
Her husband went in the fridge "I got beer?" He said looking at her
"Sure." She said smiling ,she grabbed it "Celeste."
'Michael" He said
She looked at Rhea "So you have some plan?"
Rhea smiled"Yes, I have a charity called the All-Heart foundation."
"That's great, do you want me to find you some clients?" Celeste asked now holding an empty bottle towards Michael.
"Actually we will be helping one another out. You will be my project, and once they start finding out that they need you. We will have made sure that you will be the greatest superhero."
"What ?" Celeste and Michael said
'Your wife is crazy." Celeste said going into the fridge and getting another bottle.
She started to drink and realized the kid was till watching her.
She looked at him "Is their something you want ?"
"You're a superhero!" Aaron said
She nodded "By day and whore by night." She whispered to herself
Michael raised an eyebrow to her.
"Please Celeste let me help you." Rhea asked grabbing her hand
Celeste sighed "What ever." She searched in her skirt. She cursed "Do you have pen and paper?"
Michael nodded and went into a drawer giving her a notepad with a pen attached.
She started to write down her address "If you are serious then come to my house."
She got up but stopped "When will he stop doing that?"
"I don't know." Rhea said with a smile
Celeste headed to the door "Please stay for dinner." Rhea said
"I can't." Celeste said "I have to meet with the mayor."
"You get to meet with the mayor…like daily?" Rhea asked smiling
Celeste stopped walking "Well, not daily ever since he got the new baby." She said smiling.
"That's sweet, he is taking time off work." Rhea said as the adults made it to the door.
Celeste stopped walking, turning to her. She looked at her.
"That's a joke right?"
"What?" Rhea asked confused
"I'm sure you know what I mean." Celeste said looking to Michael
"You're a whore." Michael said
"Prostitute." Celeste said pointing at him
Rhea gasped "You're a superhero."
"Yes, this is why I wear a costume. Plus would you rather I starve and be homeless? People do not pay me for saving their lives…anymore."
"You could not think of any other job!" Michael asked
"No and when you owe money to the mob-"She shook her head "I will tell you later…possibly."
She headed out and flew away.
"The city's superhero is a prostitute." Rhea whispered.
"You sure you want to help her?" Michael asked following his wife into the kitchen.
"Did you see her eyes?" Rhea asked
"No, why?"
"They were sad." Rhea said kissing her son's head.
Celeste made it back to her window, taking off her superhero clothes and hair for her other clothes.
She heard laughing and knew Belinda had her kids over.
She went to the kitchen, nodding to the family.
"I made you two tortas." Belinda said giving her son a napkin.
"Thank you. Please make some brunch for two adults and a child" Celeste said grabbing a wine bottle and headed to the business bedroom.
"Why?" Belinda asked curious following her
"Rhea is going to help me get better opinion of the people." She said with a laugh in the hallway.
"Serah-"
"That is not my name anymore!" She growled out
"It used to be." Belinda said looking at her harshly.
"You wanted something." Celeste said mad
"I will not be here; I am using my two weeks off, for family reunion." Belinda said
"What! Tell me you have food in the fridge."
"I will be leaving food for a week, who knows you can learn to cook." Belinda said
She rolled her eyes "I tried."
"Ok you burned water, burned bread and burned a TV dinner. That is why they have something called practice!"
"That is why they have maids !"
Belinda looked outraged "And they have prostitutes." She said leaving the hallway
"The mayor has no problem with me…and neither did your brother."
Belinda stopped walking coming back to her and smacked her.
Celeste just laughed "I'm indestructible!"
"So indestructible you can't have children!" Belinda yelled as she was gathering her kids out the suite.
"Get out of my house!"
As she said that, the door had already slammed.
Celeste waited for the mayor to show up and she did her job. She was ignoring him on top of her and was happy that he finished early.
She rolled her eyes when he answered his phone and she heard the cry of the baby. He threw a credit card at her and he mouthed "Two months."
He went to the shower in the room, which had his suits, she waited for him to leave and waited for her other two clients to come and go.
She groaned when she heard knocking on the door. She had too much to drink; she headed to the door groaning. She made sure she was clothed and opened the door.
"It is way too early for you to be here." She groaned opening the door wider.
"It's noon." Michael said walking in
"What ever." She closed the door and noticed it was the adults.
"Where is the little watcher?" She asked
"At a friends." Rhea said putting her purse on the table and taking papers out.
"Have any food?" Michael asked
Celeste opened the fridge mad no prepared food was in it. She went back to the counter top. "No."
"I am sure I can cook something." Michael said opening the fridge.
"You have food." He said confused
"Where?" She asked running over to the fridge.
"I see nothing, but things I CAN'T cook." She said picking up her phone
"Who are you calling?" Rhea asked
"Room service." Rhea grabbed the phone shaking her head.
"I'll cook." Rhea said moving from her spot.
"I'm not paying you, besides my maid should have done it." Celeste said taking the phone back
"Why pay for a bill, when you have the food here." Rhea said taking the phone back.
"No, I will just get us breakfast." Celeste said taking the phone back.
"No, you don't have to." Rhea said grabbing the phone.
Michael watched as they fought over the phone, he grabbed it. "I will cook breakfast."
"You don't have to do that!"
"Why waste your money when you have all that you need?" He said
"Fine, you want to be strange be strange." Celesta said throwing her hands up and heading to her real bedroom.
Michael watched her as he left, she was never like that. He looked to his wife.
"What are you in the mood for?"
"What does she have?"
"What doesn't she have?"
"I would love steak."
He nodded He took out the steaks and went around the kitchen finding the skillet though their was a note.
"Hey I think this is for us."
Rhea looked up from her papers; she was ready to talk to Celeste "What makes you say that?"
She looked up the cared read "To the people helping Celeste."
He opened it.
"Please be patient with her, she is deeply depressed. Try to keep the alcohol away from her. She will listen to your ideas more if you feed her. She is like a stray cat that way. She is a good person though rough around the edges. She has been alone for so long, she will not trust you. She is like a stray; do not talk about how she makes money remember this and you will get her to like you."
Her maid Belinda
He read it and then gave it to his wife.
"I feel so refreshed." Celeste said coming out of the room in a black robe.
"That's good." Rhea said putting the letter on the table "Now how about we go and talk about the city loving you." She picked up her papers and they went over to the sofa and talked.
"I am okay with the costume change, but I am not going to jail and I sure as hell am not giving up this place!" Celeste said getting up and walking into the kitchen stabbing at her steak.
After eating three bites she looked at Michael "This is delicious." She wiped her mouth with a napkin "This needs wine."
She searched her top cupboards and was looking confused. She smiled when she grabbed the box, she looked at the box.
"What the hell?" She asked
"Is everything alright?" Michael asked
"No! My wine is gone."
"Maybe your maid took it." Rhea said looking at her husband worried
"Yeah I guess." She stopped "How do you know I have a maid?"
"We passed by a few, figured you had one." Rhea said
She nodded and went back to her plate, enjoying the steak.
"So I was wondering which choices do you like?" Rhea asked holding costume drawings.
"I don't mind them, I just wish I could show some chest or leg."
"You don't need to, if you do one of these then it will show female independence." Rhea said
"I would like an outfit like Xena's."
"Who's?"
"Xena warrior Princess played by Lucy Lawless." Michael said
Celeste smiled "Yeah, how do you know the show?"
"I watch a lot of TV."
She nodded "I like her outfit."
"I guess I could look at that, but about jail."
"I did not work so hard for all of this to have my ass in jail !" Celeste said throwing the plate at the floor.
They jumped looking at her.
"It will show the city needs you." Rhea said
"I want house arrest." Celeste said
"I could try for that." Rhea said and smiled "If you try to cook burgers for us."
"What!" Michael said
"I can't cook." She gritted out
"You can stop bullets, get hit by anything with out feeling pain but you can't provide for yourself." Rhea said "Do you know how crazy that sounds."
"As crazy as you wanting the city to love me." Celeste said
"Try prison."
Celeste huffed "Fine if people gang up on me, I will kick their ass."
"I know." Rhea said with a smile
Celeste sighed as the prison was getting closer "I can't believe you talked me into this."
"It will help." Rhea said
"Whatever." Celeste said rolling her eyes.
Rhea was talking to a guard, Celeste was leaning on the car enjoying her freedom.
"Can I ask you something." Michael asked leaning on the car a well.
"Yeah?" She asked looking at him
"Please do not mess with her, she is a good woman."
She looked at him "I know."
