1st off if you haven't read the first two stories in the series you need to do so before reading this on or you won't understand what is going on.
2nd i have done some editing to the first two stories and reposted some of their chapters. regular readers might want to go back read over the changes.
3rd this is one of the DRDN stories in the series that might not end up being very long. it focuses only on a small part of the whole story.
4th sorry its taken me so long to get to this part if you were a regular reader of the first two. i have many health issues that keep me from typing and i don't have access to the internet to post things as soon as i get them done. i have to drive which i shouldn't or get someone to take me to somewhere that i can get online. i will try to update weekly.
5th since i started this story i notice the guidelines have been altered. at first there was just a general sense of what you could and couldn't have in an M rated story. now they are very explicitly spelled out as to just what is and isn't acceptable under that rating and most things you could sneak in before are now clearly defined as MA which isn't allowed on here. in other words one can't get away with what one used to in stories like this. so i'm going to tone things down a bit. the fact that nothing down and dirty under the sheets gets described in detail anymore doesn't change the fact that the story still contains M-rated material not suited for everyone but well beyond what is acceptable for a T-rated audience and below. with that said most of the shows aimed at teens outside of Nick and Disney and CN i don't consider more M rated than T rated. some stuff even on CN isn't exactly suited for its target audience if you ask me. you didn't but i am explaining my reason for toning down some things yet keeping the rating where it is.
Darling Raven Daring Nikki 3-The Beautiful Ones
*1*
Kilowatt stands backstage watching Nikki's latest number up on stage. He doesn't like seeing her out there now that she is almost seven months pregnant. What he likes even less are the guys that try to reach up and touch her very pronounced baby bump. Is it all due to jealousy? No-all this is way to much to put Nikki and the baby through. At least this routine, Prince's 'The Beautiful Ones' is a slow number. Only Nikki could pull this one off onstage. Like all the other guys out in the room Kilowatt is mesmerized as he watches her. The words of the song strike a chord in him. "...Do you want me? cause I want you..." He wants Raven back but over the last several months although he has tried to remain aloof and indifferent about her-he is falling for Nikki as well. As he catches her eye during a spinning dance turn that makes her look so angelic in her flowing sheer robes-Kilowatt is sure that Nikki knows she is starting to win him over from whoever it is she thinks has his heart. Its killing him inside. Can Raven see what is happening wherever it is that she is locked away inside the mind that she and Nikki share? What would she think of him falling for Nikki? He feels like he is betraying Raven in a way even though Nikki is a part of her. Should he try to reach Raven somehow? What would Nikki do if she found out she was a split personality and its the other one inside her mind that he loved first? He breathes a sigh of relief as Nikki finally steps off stage. "You shouldn't be out there doing this."
"Tell that to the boss."
"I would if you allowed me to mistress."
"Judging by the look on your face you would do more than just talk if I let you. Don't get on his bad side. He will get what is coming to him later. Now what should we do before its your turn up on stage for the night?"
"Well since you asked...you did promise to get me into that database for my contacts. I saw the boss head into one of the VIP lounges with a group for their weekly poker game."
"I hate the thought of seeing all this end...but the two of us by ourselves are making enough money to be very well off for a lifetime and that isn't counting all my finders rights money-which is a very substantial icing on the cake. Meet me in the office." Nikki heads to the elevator as Kilowatt takes the stairs. By the time the elevator stops he is already there waiting for her. She closes the office door as soon as he follows her inside. "I may have promised but if you want in the database you gotta pay for it."
Kilowatt draws Nikki close to him and kisses her long and hard just the way she likes it. "Work now-play later."
"Why can't I play while you work?"
"Because you are too distracting."
Nikki walks over to the computer entering the password Elrich has no idea she knows then opens the database with her hacking skills. She sits on the edge of the desk Kilowatt looks for the information he needs. She looks from him down to her growing belly when she feels the baby kick. Nikki smiles as she places her hand on belly. "I wish the baby was yours." She shrugs as Kilowatt glances over at her. "I will settle for you playing the role of father."
"Anything you want mistress."
"Right now I'm just glad the doctor put the kibosh on the den of pain for the rest of the pregnancy. Ninja limo guy seems to be doing nicely in that role for the ladies."
"I bet the boss hated that idea."
"He has been steaming about it but only because it was my idea which means I get the profits from it instead of him."
Kilowatt glances at the TV which always seems to be on regardless of whether anyone is in the room or not. "Speaking of the devil."
Nikki turns to the TV on which Elrich is getting blasted again by the local media. The good people of the town don't seem to like her flaunting herself up on stage while she is pregnant. Its has caused a media circus for several months now. She smirks at Elrich's recorded comment on that.
"If the people out there are as decent as they claim to be then why are they so concerned with what goes on out here? It is my baby-she is not a whore-she is mine alone. None of the guys that watch her seem to mind-in fact most seem to like her more now and I'm not taking out my highest rated dancer just because she is pregnant. She is being closely monitored by the staff doctor and isn't putting herself or the baby in harms way."
Kilowatt roles his eyes as he scoffs. "His alone."
"I do believe I detect a hint of jealousy." Nikki hits the mute button on the remote. Elrich has become quite the villain the media-leaving her a media darling victim. "With all that mess going on I never got around to thanking Candy."
"Thanking her? For what?"
"Never mind. Find what you need? You are going to be due on stage soon."
"I just need to make a call."
Nikki punches the code into her phone that will keep the call from registering on her phone records and hands it over to him.

Terra glances at the information from Kilowatt that she jotted down after hanging up the phone. "I don't know how he does it."
"Like I told you-Kilowatt has to be the only one that can handle Nikki." He checks his watch. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah-but can we talk first?"
"About what?"
"My powers. I know you have been looking into ways to restore them. I would rather not have them back. I never wanted them in the first place and I was never any good at keeping them under control."
"I understand-but did you ever think not wanting them was why you had trouble controlling them?"
Terra mulls that thought over as she stands up. "We should be going as much as I hate him, we don't want to be late to the mayor's party."
Nightwing follows her out of the suite and into the elevator. "Get that information from Kilowatt that we needed?"
"Finally."
"People are highly annoyed that getting the information is taking so long."
"Yeah well we're on Nikki's schedule not theirs." She pales as she looks up when the elevator doors open. "Oh no..."
Nightwing quickly scans the room. "What's wrong."
She watches the man who makes a bee-line for her when he spots her.
"Who is he?"
"My brother-Byron. Go to the party-tell them I have a headache or something.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Go on-we both can't be absent and we can't have two Byron Markovs running around." Terra waits in the elevator as Nightwing leaves and her brother steps on.
