Chapter three:

THE LIGHT IN THE DARK

This chapter is for morbid crow, thanks for following and reading, i hope you enjoy,

Let's begin

At 6:30 pm inside an old warehouse, the man we saw at the beginning of the last chapter was currently toying with a complex device that resembled a watch, except its face didn't display the current time but a message that read 'please select a new weapon' a project he had thought up for his boss, he didn't have his white lab coat on it was draped over his chair showing his black shirt and loosened red and silver tie, black suit trousers and black dress shoes, his facial features couldn't be seen under the metal mask he was wearing, which used holographic technology to disguise himself changing his hair and eye colour to blonde and green it could even change his face, body type, or turn him invisible, though possibly the strangest thing about his mask was how it could mimic his facial expressions, right now he was smirking

the shadow known as Audrey had the base form of a gorilla a massive body and arms small head and legs, his form was highly muscular and his fingers were closer to claws, his feet were mostly humanoid except his toes which were pointed, he had what looked like a dog tail which was wagging happily, his head was close to human he had yellow slits for pupils like a snakes the whites were black, his mouth was a jagged line which was usually contorted into a childlike smile, and the top of his head had two jagged horns coming out of the front of it, his only clothing was a blue ribbon tied to a medal with his name

on it,

and another one who was gray, she had two different colour eyes one being amber while the other was teal, her hair on the back and the top was orange while the side touching her skin was dark green, her hair was incredibly long coming down to her just above her heart shaped ass which was probably intentional, she had two bangs which were green and braided carefully they ended just above her D cup breast and was definitely intentional, she was wearing black trousers similar to majinn buu's and had a white kimono styled blouse with a long left sleeve and a mid right sleeve covering her torso, she also had a black witches hat though the tip ended like a jagged line,

she had a katana on her right side indicating she was probably left handed, she also had had what looked like sharks teeth instead of human teeth, despite her odd skin tone, teeth, eyes, fashion sense, she was very attractive, like if the deity of your choice decided to make the sexiest woman ever and then some oddities to see if you'd still want her, This one refused to tell him her name or how she appeared and he didn't care enough to demand answers had appeared earlier to ask to join was silently observing him,

click* the man turned to the wall full of lights with words over them, the one that was had just lit up read 'breakfast' the man carefully put his new invention down, got up and walked into the kitchen where a tray filled with fresh food he had prepared ten seconds ago was waiting for him,

he pulled a shotgun shell out of his pocket and placed it on the tray,

He picked up the tray and a pot of coffee as he walked back though his lab, "the boss will be here soon" he said, his monotone voice getting the attention of the two standing there "wait here, and don't touch anything" he continued walking after both nodded,

He walked until he came to a security door, a scanning laser activated as did two machine gun turrets behind him, as the laser scanned him a voice called from beyond it "SKIP IT" the door flew open as the turrets deactivated,

Now in front of the man was a completely dark corridor, it was short and only had one door at the end with a stand next to it, he calmly stepped inside as the door behind him slammed shut and locked, he walked to the door to his bosses bed room, he placed the pot of coffee on the stand and knocked, "come in doctor" he opened the door and even his eyes strained as he tried to scan the darkness for his boss, then two shimmering orbs opened, he grabbed the pot of coffee as he walked into the room the orbs following his every movement, he walked round her bed having memorised the layout of the room he placed the pot down, and turned to face his boss and as he turned he noticed that the orbs were eye level with him and underneath them he saw a twisted grin made of razor sharp teeth, he simply stared at the orbs till his boss sat down, he placed the tray over her and was about to leave until she spoke, "stay doctor, we need to talk"

He nodded and sat in the chair she kept near her bed, he poured her a cup of coffee while she devowered her meal, as he added two sugars to the black liquid she put her knife and fork down, then she lurched forward wrapping her arms round his neck and placing a loving kiss on his lips, she let go as he handed her the pink mug full of coffee, as she drank down the black goodness while he roughly wiped his lips, as she finished her mug he filled it again, she turned to him "why do you do that?" He answered back just as quick "because i hate you" she scoffed "I'm twenty one, I am fuckable" "I noticed, however it isnt simply how you look that makes me not want to fuck you, theres also the fact that you are you, and that I simply despise being kissed by you" she held back on taunting him for now and instead decided to get down to business "who's the new girl? And how are our plans coming?"

He reached into his coat for a cig and as he put it into his mouth she grabbed a lighter and shut her eyes before moving it

close to his unlit cig and striking it up,

He blew out the lighter and angled his cig away from her face so she wouldn't see the light, she slowly opened her eyes as he stated speaking, "im not sure, all I know it she popped out of nowhere and asked if she could join us," she nodded she would handle that, she grabbed the shell of of the tray as he continued "everything else is as i predicted but i left a note on your schedule for you so i dont have to 'bore you with stupid facts'" she nodded glad he had looked over them before she did, she looked at him "anything else?" As he shook his head she said "thank you doctor, as you were" he nodded again and disappeared from his chair as she grabbed her mug the tray was also gone,

she got out of bed putting the lighter down on her bedside table, she raised the shell to her lips and biting off the bottom she poured its contents into her mouth, swallowing she felt a burning and popping as the gunpowder and shrapnel moved from her mouth to her thoat and finally into her stomach, "Mmm tasty," she said, as her feet touched the fluffy carpet she giggled to herself she took a swig of coffee as she moved to her wardrobe she let go of her mug and normally it would drop and shatter however it just floated,

She opened her wardrobe to reveal tons of clothes honestly she had no idea what to wear a skin tight jumpsuit? "Nah, not formal enough" a school uniform? "Not in this life" a wedding dress "why do i have that? Oh yeah, goood times, but no" a white suit with a black shirt "eh why not?" She looked into the mirror her blonde hair was a mess she grabbed her hair brush she sat down and carefully brushed her hair while wondering what this person wanted, it took ten minutes of constant brushing but her hair was finally straight, she took off her white nightie and put on her suit then she found a cute pair of kitten socks and black dress shoes, then her simple black head band, finally she needed a coat, she picked out a black detectives coat and put it on, then she closed her wardrobe walking back to her bedside table she grabbed her goggles and put them on her head rubbing her still floating mug and downing the pot of coffee she left her room and as she came near the security door slid her gogles over her eyes "its showtime" the door opened and she walked directly to the lab,

As she walked in all eyes turned to her, Audrey picked her up and hugged her and she turned her eyes to the new girl, "holy shit you're sexy" she grinned and extended a hand "thanks Claire, my name is Leslie i have no last name, and as you have probably heard i want to join your team"

Claire smiled "so what can you do, and why do you want to join my team?" Leslie smirked "well for one I'm a skilled witch, potion and poison brewer, and a master swordsman, as for why im here well my race were being a bunch of cunts and tried to have me killed so after I with very little effort killed the Assassins sent by my kin, I loked to my future via divination and decided that out of all the possible futures being here seemed the most interesting, so here i am" claire nodded, "okay well im Claire, thats Audrey, and we just call him doc, as you probably assumed we arent going to let you in that easily so you and i will be going for a little test, you see I have virtually no weaknesses, except one my dear little sister Mary, we feel the inverse of the other but somehow any pain she endures i feel it, yet when i feel pain she feels pleasure, and as it maybe possible for her death to kill me, to see if you can be trusted I'm sending you alone, now your mission is to get to the place I've hidden her and bring her here, success will guarantee not only you acceptance into our twisted little family, my instant trust, and a high position in my organisation, what do you say?"

The witch stroked her chin "why would you allow me to be around your only weakness alone, if i wished to kill you I'd be able to use it to off you and disappear before anyone knew any better," the little one nodded and said "true but she knows these guys so if one of them approaches her she'll be on her guard, and by putting you into a position where you can kill me at any point will show me how loyal you are, and finally if you are trying to kill me it would be a cool way to bite it" "im sorry to intrude" said doc "however the Medici are back in as of right now," claire nodded "thank you doc, tell her where she needs to go for her mission, doc if she's half as nice as her tits she's a keeper, Audrey love you big bro" she said jumping up to him and hugging him, after letting go she ran down a corridor and after two doors that belonged to her team mates she came to the last door the door to her second no third no first no second favourite room ever "The Armoury" she cheered,

She opened the door (tearing it off its hinges) and ran inside she looked around the room seeing her sexy laides and hot studs,

she walked over to a stand with two handguns the twins Molly and Polly two highly modified child sized desert eagles Molly was silver and red Polly was black and gold she brought molly to her face and kissed her she knew it would be the highlight of her day, polly on the other hand just wanted someone dead, she put both into their holsters molly on the left polly on the right, the holsters themself just mirrored their guns colour mollys was red and silver pollys was gold and black, both holsters were permanently attached to the brown leather belt Clare was currently holding she put the belt on and walked to the next display case

inside was Donnie a heavily modified child sized uzi with a massive magazine Donnie did less hammage then the twins but he fired faster and had 60 bullets while the twins had 28 between them Donnie was dark blue, Donnie didn't revel in death like polly nor did he love claire like molly he just wanted results, Donnie holster was black it was like a policeman's holster so it went under her coat, the holster itself had four large mag holders she had regular ones hidden in her coat,

The she heard Jim so she ran over to him, now Jim was a l42a1 Sniper rifle an oldie by todays standards but thanks to her updates he could out shoot any rifle currently in service, now jimbo was an old voyeur and a military man and often tried convincing her to serve jolly old England, she told him to fuck off, but whateves his holster was on the back of any of her coats, the only difference from Jim and any other rifles of his make was one he was child sized and two he had a Union Jack decal on one side,

Next was Jessica her babe she was walked over to a gun cabinet to a red and white franchi SPAS 12 "hello beautiful, come here often?" She grabbed her favourite firearm the word madness scrached into the side by her last owner, now other than the lettering and the colouring and Clare's own modifications what made ol jess stand out? The two barrels? Yep, the large clip thar was as thick as her arm and long as her kill count? Definitely, how about the fact that Jessie knew how to kick through armor? You heard right fan she tears through bulletproof shit, oh fuck yeah sexiest gun alive, Jessica's holster was next to Jim's but was closer to Claire's shoulder so she could easily get jess, into the holster jess goes

'Finally it's time' claire thought as she ran to get her bae her girl her bitch Rachel walking over to a podium simply sitting their was Rachel a not one not two but a three bladed chainsaw just as she was about to grab it a voice spoke up "carrying to much?" She turned to see doc standing behind her "yeah, but-" "im skipping, this-" he presented the device he was working on earlier "-will allow you to take more weapons into the field then what you can carry, i call it the insta-armoury" he strapped it to her wrist, "basically it uses a digi-chip to summon the weapons from the armoury to your hand," before claire could do anything he continued "however it isn't finished and can only summon four extra weapons when not in use they will return here, simply waveyour hand over it to activate it," she did just that a blue holo screen came out and a large wheel with four lit up slots three of which were empty the first had Rachel in it and three options were under it, they were 1 scan weapon 2 edit scans 3 delete scan,

She wrapped her arms aroun him "thanks doc" he simply nodded, she ran over to Natasha Gatling gun, now natty was a black child sized claire modified Gatling gun, nuff said? Nuff said, the two other slots I'd leave in case i saw a weapon i really wanted,

"Okay big bro time for me to go to medichi tower!" I cheered he nodded as a loud fwoosh sound rang out "here?" Leslie asked gesturing to a portal she had opened the tower was on the other side, i turned to doc "definitely a keeper, thanks big sis bye bye" she called as she ran though it,

Claire's POV

I was right out side of the tower a solder guy was standing in front of it seemingly guarding the entrance, she skipped over to him using a cloaking device to turn her weapons invisible, as she got close she noticed him counting money, he looked at her "whoa brat, no entry buzz off," he sneered under his mask, "hi mister" she practically shouted "whatcha doooin" she smiled glad she got to have some fun early, "making sure no one messes with a crime scene so go bug your parents" "cant" she said sadly "and why not?" She pointed behind him "my daddy's in there" unknown to this man Claire sent a small dark ball to knock something over as she pointed, and it knocked over a bottle, as it shattered the man turned around and walked inside,

Claire reached for her machete before realising she forgot it and instead grabbing a brick, she slowly snuck up behind him and before he knew any more she tapped his shoulder he turned and almost hit her with a baton, "carefull retard, i almost killed you, now will you go-" "hey solder guy i know a secret, about the money jack tried to steal," she realised that she slipped up "and what would that be?" But apparently he hadn't "come closer, and ill tell you" he bent down so my mouth was on ear level I raised the brick "you're a dead fuckhead" before he could react she brought the brick down with the force of a sledgehammer killing him instantly as his body dropped i was dissatisfied i kicked him for good measure and walked over to the elevator pushed the up arrow and grabbed Jessica as I walked in looking over the numbers i saw Floors one to 86 however intelligence told me that only the last thirteen were currently occupied by mobsters who thanks to jack were the only ones in the building

So I pushed 73 and pumped Jessica, the low hum of the elevator was annoying as piss but i forgot my head phones and music player so I'd have to deal with it "next time I'll make a checklist" i said bored out of my skull I had just passed floor 11 so i reached into my coat and pulled out a pin, looking at it i smiled "time for some fun" leaning Jessica against the wall i put the pin near my arm and slowly pushed it "OH YEEEEESSSSSSSS" I cried the as the pain of my arm being pricked started settle, i pulled the pin out and stabbed again and again and again "Y-AHHHH-SSSS YES YES OH GOD YEEEEEEESSSSSSS" The fun was starting to wear thin so i put the needle back into my jacket pocket grabbing Jessica i looked at the floor counter and *bing* "floor 73, have a nice day" spoke the monotone voice of the elevator,

walking outside to see what looked like a reception with virtually no one here except me and a teenage receptionist who was definitely hired for her looks, she currently had her face buried into a fashion magazine, walking over to her i saw a bell and rang it, "yes?" Came the annoyed teens voice, "HI HI HI, im claire and Imhertokilleveryoneinthebuildingisvitaleorlorenzohere?" I said a bit too excited she lowered the magazine "what?" Then she looked around before looking down "umm, sorry brats aren't allowed here, please use the lift-" i pointed Jessica at her and pulled the trigger BANG the gunshot rang out, "im SO sorry, but im sick of your voice" then walking around the desk i saw a red button with the words 'security' underneath it i pushed it hoping they'd get here quickly, as i thought that the doors behind the desk swung open, and two large bruisers walked in they looked at me and the corpse and pulled hand guns "KILL HER!" Nameless thug one shouted, and both started shooting at me, i grabbed the chair with the corpse and used it like a human shield as i fired back, one shot obliterated both people so i ran into the next room, as i did people fired at me while i moved back into the room hiding behind the wall,

The endless corridor was swarming with dickbags with a bunch of guns, '11 shots left' i thought reminding myself about the shots i had fired, steadying Jessica with my left arm i reached into my coat pulling out Donnie, shots still rang out i could hear some guns clicking as their owners forgot to keep track of their shots, putting Donnie in between my teeth i pulled the mag out checking that all fifty bullets were there i slapped the mag back in and aimed him into the room,

15 guys, 12 had pistols they were the same gun each held fithteen bullets and were reliable, but not top of the market stuff, three had revolvers, the revolvers themselves were your basic six shooter more damage less bulets high kickback, most pulled the trigger seven times before reloading, the only one who didn't reloaded two bullets early, all were useless,

15 people, fifty shots, "they really are making it too easy" i said squeezing the trigger as the rapid bang '3 shots fired, one person dead, 7 shots fired 3 people dead, 15 shots fired 9 people dead' then with my left arm i aimed Jessica in "bye bye baby" *boom* the massive kick broke my arm, "AHHHHHHH-HAHAHAHA" I howled in pain, pleasure, and joy, as the last person fell i put Donnie back in his holster and grabbed my broken arm "one quick twist aaaaan-" *SNAP* "OHFUCK!" I screamed as i regained control of my left arm, looking around i said "31 shots fired, 15 people dead 20 bullets left in Donnie 10 left in Jessica"

I continued further into the 73rd floor walking around, i heard someone try to sneak up behind me, i pretended not to notice I opened a door the went to a dead end room with barely anything in it, i walked inside once again to the moron who didn't want to die this should have been a red flag, he followed without complaint looking at the window i could barely make out the large fat man with a machete about to swipe at my head "hey i have a question for ya" i said turning around to face him his expression went from shit eating grin to pants shiting terror, "do my goggles look cool, cuz I wanted my daddy to make em look like riddicks, you know from the movies" he nodded "cool, welp im gonna turn back round now so" i shugged "do whatevs"

i turned back to the window to see the shit eating grin retuned he swung the machete,

which i grabbed effortlessly "by the way, I can bench press a jeep, so I'm way stronger than you" then i twisted his hand until he dropped the machete I threw him over me and slammed him into the floor, leaning down i pick up the machete and said sarcastically "wow for me? I'm touched, how bout i test its edge" I put Jessie back in her holster and with my new free hand grabbed his hands and put them on a table, "NOW, as thanks for the toy, right or left?" His eyes went wide, his expression was pure terror, he stammered for an answer "l- l- le-left," he said fearfully but quickly, I raised the machete and chopped off his right hand,

i smiled what would have been a cute smile had i not just sliced a mans hand off and said in the most innocent tone i could muster "wait did you mean your left or my left?" He rolled around screaming, i grabbed him by his skull and pulled him up "thank you mister" then i pulled the blade over his neck, he reached up with his left hand and his right nub and tried to stop the blood as i watched him slowly bleed out and die, as he did i saw the pleading tone in his eyes and in response i blew him a kiss, he slumped down finally dead, i reached down and grabbed his tie and used it as a makeshift holster for my new machete,

Putting my new tool away i un-holstered Molly and Polly, and continued checking doors, after thirty minutes of constant searching i started to hear something,

Stoping I put my ear to the wall, all i could hear was muffled speaking, It sounded like teenage girls, using the cloaking device i disguised myself as an average detective, anyone who looked at me would think i was a balding thirty year old man, walking forward i found a door not yet opened, and deciding to play detective as well as look the part, i kicked the door open, (off its hinges and in through the wall opposite) "FREEZE POLICE!" I shouted, but thanks to the voice altering function on the cloaking device i sounded like a thirty year old man,

Inside was three thugs and a cell which judging by the gasps had quite a few people inside, the thugs raised their hands when i said, "Down scumbags, or i sear to god I'll blow you all right here right now... AWAY, blow you all away" each of them dropped to the floor, as i made my way to the cell, putting Molly away i grabbed the cell door and ripped it clean off, "laides your free to go but i may need all of you to testify against these scum filled pus bags," as they left some tried to hug me but i declined moving back whenever one would give me an odd look i would say, "sorry it just that, underneath this coat im bleeding, and i wouldn't want you to get blood on you, also im carrying evidence against them, wouldn't want your dna on it" they accepted this and left as they walked out i said "oh and watch out for the others," the last one turned back to me she timidly spoke her voice hopeful but also somewhat horse "we could hear gun shots was that you?" At my nod she continued "what's your name?" Then she blushed and bowed "im sorry mines minnete" ah shit, brain i hope your on this "names Abe, and ive been tracking these sickos for a while now, im from the NMPD" 'nice one Brain' claire thought, but of course it was i thought of it,

The girl smiled "thank you detective, i hope we meet again in better circumstances," she said as she ran to catchup to the others, I could hear them going to the elevators, getting inside and going down, after five minutes i got molly out of her holster and deactivated the cloaking device, "that was fun" i said glad to hear my normal voice as one guy got up i shot him immediately, as his lifeless corpse fell to the ground I smiled sickly "so lets have even more f u n" one guy charged at me while another grabbed his gun, I dodged the hit and with struck back with my right hand, as it hit his ribs you could hear his bones shatter as the force of my blow carry him into the wall, he crashed through it feeling cocky i called to the corpse "and THAT was just a love tap sucka" slowly i turned to the guy who had a gun in his hand and pure fear on his face, i sweetly asked him "now who is that for?" He brought the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, as his brain splattered onto the wall on his left and his corpse slumped, i pulled out a note pad that was one of the many things i had multiple of and one was hidden in all of my coats, and flipped to page three which had the words 'things i really wanna dooooo' and using the pen in the top i crossed off number 32 saved a bunch of people and number 3 made a guy shoot himself by killing someone else, putting it back i left the room as the speakers sounded out "had fun?" A male voice called out of the speaker phone, "yep" i said internationaly popping the p,

A chuckle was his response "So what should i call you, Abe? Or something else?" "Im Claire Von-El Yami, who are you?" "Vitale Medici, you know Von is German for of, el Spanish for the, and yami is Japanese for dark right?" I nodded "yeah but Claire Von-El Yami sounds cooler then Claire of the dark," "fair enough, so miss Yami, why are you here? Or is murdering innocent people just your thing?" "No, i just like killing in general, doesn't matter who it is, at least im not and old pussy trying to get a magic jem so he can de-age himself back to his prime like your pussy of a dad, or some dumb prick who has a tough blue haired hottie to do all his dirty work when he could just fuck the bimbo and have her complete loyalty," his response was "well you do know more than you appear, the real question is though is how much do you know," "No," i said boardly "the real question is why Jack didnt wipe you shit stains off the planet, I mean i know he doesn't kill what he doesn't see as a challenge but come on jackie why would you let the dickless cunts go?"

"Now that isn't language young lady like yourself should use," he faux chided "your right, i should be running around in a maids outfit with a vacuum cleaner seemingly made out of bones with a shapeshifting nun and a sexy kunoichi nurse as back up and trying to kill you by using the dead corpses of you allies," he was silent for twelve seconds "how?" He asked "a little fox told me" i said happily

"We are done here, goodbye Claire, you will wish you never screwed with us" just then all seven elevators opened up and a ton of people came out of them,

They all had guns and all aimed at me, "well what convenient timing," i said swiping my hand over my wrist the select screen came up and I immediately pressed Natasha, then jumping into a room to avoid the bullets the gun appeared in front of me, slowly became solid, and dropped on my foot, "FUCK!" I cried, pulling the 'mini' gun off of my poor foot slammed the door and hid behind the corner, it was immediately kicked open, she started spinning, as bullets filed the prick with holes i walked outside gun still spinning but no bullets came out, "MISSED ME, MISSED ME, NOW YA GOTTA KISS ME, HAHAHAHAHAHA," I shouted as bullets teared the chucklefucks to ribbons of blood and guts and flesh and bone pieces,

After they were gone the five hundred rounds in natty were gone, so i de-summoned her, and got the twins for any stragglers, but there weren't any, all but one lift shut, vitale's voice once again sounded from the speakers, "you aren't human are you? Well never mind that, come on up we are already waiting for you" walking into the elevator, it shut, locked the light went out and dropped I sighed and said "could have been easy dickless," i jumped for the hatch and ripped it in, flipping to the upside of the lift i put the twins away and grabbed my machete slicing of one wire i grabbed it and let it take me to the top floor, the top was in sight grabbing into the wire with both hands i swung myself into the doors kicking them in to some poor bastard who never saw it coming, let go of the wire, grabbed the twins and shot both other people, the fist in the head the second in his right hand, then left leg and then walking up to him and put the barrel of polly in his mouth said "no last words, no last requests" and pulled the trigger,

Looking around I was at another reception, i walked over to the now trembling receptionist, i rang the bell, when she didn't answer i rang it again, "answer this time or it goes up your cunt" i said impatiently, she stopped snivelling and said "h- hell- o an- and welcome t-to the b- bosses office, d- do y- you have an appointment?" Her stuttering got better but the more she talked the more i want to put a rifle in her twat and let it blow it's load in her, "i do now, my names Claire, Claire Von-El Yami, theres a dash in the middle of Von and El and Claire has an i in it," i grabbed the pretty receptionist and said "PLEASE tell me i dont have an appointment, I DARE you," she frantically nodded and said "yes your right on time ms yami please go right in, they're waiting for you" she practically begged "not till you SMILE" i said stamping through her desk, smashing her work equipment to pieces, she forced a smile and i smiled back, "see people respond better when your a nice person," then I kissed her cheek "bye cutie" as i left i shot her in her pretty fucking skull, and she dropped down, opening the door i saw a hand full of people one dressed like she was a Cleopatra cosplayer, she was pretty hot though, another looked like she was simultaneously late for her wedding and funeral, but cyborgs were cool so i didnt kill her either, the third was a bimbo blue haired clown, then was- fuck it vitale and his dad Lorenzo, i cant be bothered to pretend i dont know who any of them are, i walked past the three woman that were standing and sat down in a big comfy chair, "oh," i said suprised as it was cushier than i expected letting myself sink into the chair looking down at myself i realised how much blood was on me, apparently cerebella was sick of seeing me do whatever i want and said "hey this isnt your office, you sit when the boss says you can sit," she was three inches away from me so i punched her hard enough to knock her down and before she fell I knocked that stupid hat off her head and forced her into a crouching position, then i put my feet on her back, "huh, you say something footstool?" She tried pushing against my legs but only ended up tiring herself out,

Then i looked up at Vitale, "so chicken shit, what did you want to talk about?" I asked annoyed, he looked from me to his dad to the other two, and finally back to me, "well first off who's the rat?" He asked "you told me, or rather i heard about it from all of you, theres no rat, if there was I'd have killed him myself" i said calmly my tone not giving away how pissed i was, he nodded and then asked something i honesty never thought I'd hear, "how would you like to join us?" Now all eyes went to Vitale "WHAT!" Cerebella shouted, "we don't need her," he turned to his dad and said "well? I think she's more then qualified" Lorenzo nodded, and said "I agree, what do you say, will you join us an an enforcer, or maybe even a top bodyguard, you can have any thing you've ever wanted and more"

I looked at them suprised, then at the others black Dahlia was indifferent, Eliza clearly couldn't care less, Cerebella was pissed and Vitale was hoping I'd join,

"He he he... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, OH THATS HILARIOUS HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHA HE HEHEE YOU WANT ME HAHAHA TO JOIN YOU? PAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD THAT SO FUCKING FUNNY" I rolled out of my chair and just kept laughing i must have laughed for ten minutes straight, as i calmed down i slowly got up and said "oh man, that's funny, i havent laughed like that in. . . EVER in all my 21 years I haven't once, heard something that funny, man that almost makes me not want to ki- HAHA nope couldn't say it with a straight face, but no you're all screwed" i said going back to my chair,

Third party PoV

As claire sat back down Lorenzo reached for a revolver hidden in his desk, for when his son tried to blackmail his position from him with the lifegem, he watched the little girl get back into her seat and when she turned to the now standing cerebella he aimed at her he'd and fired, the bullet teared through her skull and she slumped down, putting it down he calmly said "now find the life gem, before another freak attacks"

Eliza and cerebella nodded, black Dahlia moved to get him a cigar and light it, as he breathed out smoke he turned to vitale "you'd better call in some more family members, i specifically want bulldog here now," Vitale nodded and took his cell out,

neither off them knew what would happen, "hey uhh, boss" cerebella spoke up, "yes?" she somewhat trembled so Eliza spoke frankly "the evevators arent working, none of them," then vitale spoke up "bulldog'll be here in two hours boss" Lorenzo nodded, Then Black Dahlia moved in front of him, *bang* *crack* his faithful servant fell dead but as she fell down everyone tuned to where the gunshot came from, Claire had the bullet he had shot her within her head, "hold on," she said holstering one of her pistols and pulling it out, then she turned and flicked it at Eliza who took the hit by and fell as if she had been shot,

Cerebella rushed the little girl ready to show her the power of vise-versa Claire punched the giant fist that tried to pummel her, the force of the little girls fist sent cerebella flying into the lift she tried to use earlier, the doors now sticking inward allowed cerebella to take one last look at her mentors murderer before passing out,

Then the little girl sat back down, and gestured for them to do the same "oh wait" the little girl said before darkness swarmed Eliza and slowly crushed her, "AHHHHHHH-" the diva who was only faking her demise screamed while her bones and skin and blood were and crushed, the dark blob made its way to Claire and a small cylinder came out of it, claire put her mouth on it and sucked, slowly the dark blob and Eliza's remains were sucked up by the little girl,

"Ah, delicious, and refreshing" the little girl said, then she looked at vitale, "anymore questions?" His face showed fear, terror, and shock, eventually he found his words, "how? How did you survive?" She groaned "i told you im immortal, wait no i didnt say that yet, whoopsie?," she cheerfully shrugged "then why were you dodging bullets?" Lorenzo asked She looked at him grinning as she said "if i kept getting shot i'd have needed a new pair of panties, it ain't easy being a masochistic 21 year old trapped in a little girls body," then for a second the lights went out , when it came back on both Vitale and Lorenzo's heads were in Claire's hands "sorry boys" she winked "but im sick of answering questions, darkness slipped out of her hands and into their necks causin both immense pain and keeping them alive, she opened a dark portal and stepped though it into her room, walking outside she came upon docs lab and when no one was there to greet her she simply shoved the two heads in docs body part fridge, "dont die yet, Marie wants to see you both," she said before slamming the door shut,

walking over to the massive tv she took her coat off draping it over the couch, she sat down, and picked up the remote, tuning on the tv she saw squidstache attack some heroes on a bridge, jack pass out due too trauma, a military base being raided by cute Indian woman she thought looked familiar, just as she was about to find the recording of Mia showering, Audrey reappeared, "GYACK PA NUZAA?" The shadow said she looked at him and nodded, "sup bro,?" "KAM NIRIA OVSUL, POV NAGA IVEAL" he said "uh huh, still wish you could remember how to talk, at least you can do more than grunt and groan now though" "ACK-ACK-ACK" he said as Claire flicked the recordings back, Audrey spoke a third time "CHO VA INAGA MO TOKA" The walking shadow then wandered off while Claire continued watching,

"Huh, i wonder how Leslie's doing with my sister?"

A FEW SECONDS AFTER CLAIRE LEFT

Leslie's PoV

Doc just stared at me as i read the paper with Claire's orders,

Okay to whoever I decided to give this important mission to, you need to know the facts,

1 my sister takes priority over everything, yes worthless grunt that includes you :) if she has a scratch on her then bring her home and don't bother pleading your death will be incredibly slow and immensely painful, and don't bother running off with her, your being watched dummy and running only makes your punishment worse,

2 you mean literally nothing to me so i wont remember you if you die and you definitely wont be mourned but remember that in the very likely event that you die the person watching you will complete the mission in your stead, but if you die protecting my sister, i still wont care, and no my standards aren't low cuz if you can't or Don't bring my sister back I'll kill you,

Third: my sisters mental health and willingness to comply with you are not an issue, regardless of what she wants, no matter how much she begs or pleads you will bring her here, should you fail to comply then death (honestly at this point you should be used to that by now)

Fourth: my sister is a princess, a precious gem, should you even think of deflowering her i wont kill you, rather I'll make sure you survive as long as i do torturing you for all eternity :) so dont think about it

Fith: AND IF YOU THINK IM HINTING THAT YOU CAN FUCK HER I DEFINITELY AM NOT SHOULD YOU EVEN TOUCH HER HAIR IN A WAY I DONT LIKE YOUR FUCKED

GET IT?

With all that out of the way, on to mission briefing,

As i looked at him he asked "any questions" i nodded "good, but know that you won't always get any answers" taking his silence as him waiting for me to ask i asked "well then lets start with the obvious, why am i getting this job? Unless the sister is just someone to protect, but not truly vital then why pawn the job on the newbie," he nodded seemingly glad i asked and said "she didn't, rather we all tried before earlier but none of us could convince her to willingly come with us, hence why your getting the job, as for why she didn't kill us for failing, she simply deemed us too useful at the time to kill," i nodded and asked "okay so, am i supposed to treat her like a princess or a convict, as i am not to let harm come to her yet i'm to be indifferent to her struggles" he simply blinked and said "so you don't build a connection with her and let her convince you to let her run away, regardless of that she is a princess you are to obey every order she gives you as if Claire her self ordered it" 'except the obvious' i thought

"Am i getting briefed?" He nodded "only when your done asking questions" taking my silence as an answer he nodded again "the place this mission will take place is a heavily armed and guarded military base, you decide how you want to do the mission, stealth, or massacre, all that matters is results, next their is a secret condition about this mission," all of a sudden the temperature in the room dropped, "should you learn anything about Claire while under going this mission, should you like your head where it is I suggest keeping mum about the subject, and that includes everyone Me, Audrey, and definitely Claire, understood?" I smiled "of course no lady wants her secrets revealed, like her weight, her age, or her probably dark past" he nodded and the room returned back to its normal temperature, then he handed me a high tec map, and asked me a question, "outside,? or a dark corner,? the choice is yours," i opened a portal to outside the base, and he nodded walking through it, as we stood looking at a military base carved into the mountain, he started talking

"This is, on paper just your average military base, but in truth it's much more it's all summed up in the bases name Hephaestus Forge, where mankind tried to come up with new weapons to kill the three individuals know as the three devils, the sea devil, sky devil, and earth devil, but have only come up with failure, the closest they ever got was project 'Demi-god' but that was such a massive failure that all the facility is now is a makeshift storage warehouse for all of its failures, and as for how it came to be a prison for Claire's sister Mary, well do i even need to explain that?," he waited a moment for me to give any response, but when i didn't he continued

"very well then Claire's sister is inside use the device i gave you earlier to find her,"

Then he waited for me to take a second to think about my approach i sighed, drawing my sword, i slid down the mountain we were standing on and ran directly at the base, i couldn't see him follow me but i knew he was watching my every move,

Approaching the door two guards and turrets started shooting at me spinning my sword i blocked all bullets and slashed at the guards, the turrets, and the massive metal door, jumping into the door and kicking at it i stepped through as the numerous guards took aim at me i turned my back to them, as they fired there rockets and bullets and shells I simply stood with my back turned to them, as they got about it inches away i smiled they hit my reflect barrier and as they went back to those that fired them i smirked and said "full counter" walking forward though the gunk and guts I saw something interesting through a massive hole caused by the explosive weaponry i sent back and began walking toward it,

Stepping through the hole i saw tons of weapons and armour, stuffed into crates, i grabbed the handle of a sword i saw and it felt off, looking at it i realised why "bone blade skin handle, dark for humans, why does it feel like two thirds of Claire?" Putting it back i kept walking till i found a crate with the words 'project Zeus' on the side using my sword to cut the sides off the wood on the crate fell down inside was a greyish silver machine, with a window on it dust covered the window so whipping it off i saw a man inside, he had several wires and tubes coming out of him, she studied his face his eyes were shut he had no hair and his facial features were claylike,

I decided to keep moving forward *thunk, crshhshhhhhheeeeeeee- pat pat* turning around i saw project Zeus force his container open and turn to me his red eyes burned at me, taking a threatening stance it charged forward and swung at me i swung my sword at it beheading it in one slash, it dropped to it's knees and breathed its last, "no wonder this place was shut down, it cant make a weapon to stop a witch with a sword, let alone a devil" i said somewhat disappointed "Leslie" an unfamiliar voice called, and before i knew i was moving i was led before another crate,this one filled with one of my favourite things swords I grabbed the handle of one and pulling it out i saw a sword no a katana unlike any other i had seen, its blade was like a saw, and on the other side the metal was tempered making it perfect for guarding, its guard was beautiful it was kind of like a snowflake, and its handle was bone looking at it i heard the voice again, "hello dear, im adarenna we used to be two people Adrien and Cathleena yes our former selves parents named one of us wrong, bu-" then i cut the sword in two then the voice faded "sorry no pacts with demons today"

Walking a little further i saw a massive crate with the word 'project Demi-God' on it I walked past it and saw a lab

as i came to a lab the security doors to the entrance or to further in shut immediately, turning i walked into the lab and found a ton of files and notes, none of them had guards so walking back out I checked the map, i was so pissed i almost screamed i slashed though the security door that stoped me and then through the floor below me again and again until I reached the current holding cell of Mary, looking up i saw a cell and inside iti could just barely see a person she was a meek charcoal black haired in rags, "Mary?" I said to the blonde who turned with hope in her pretty auburn eyes, "your coming home" i said as I walked over to the bars,

kissing the lock I watched as the metal fizzed away and Mary stood up and greeted me with the warmest smile I've ever seen, then i took in her whole appearance,

unlike Claire Mary actually looked like a young woman albeit a somewhat malnourished one, and judging by the way she tried and failed to stand up she couldn't walk very well, so turning around i offered her my back "get on dear, i will get you home" i felt her gentle arms wrap around me and as she got on i could feel her weak heart beat" suddenly the room was filled with guards so drawing my sword i was about to slash, but as soon as i unsheathed it a thin red line appeared on all of their bodies, doc appeared behind them and nodded at me,

i put a portal underneath me and jumping into it i we landed back at h.q.,

clap* *clap* *clap* i turned to see Claire sitting on a couch, and rather than the suit she had been wearing earlier now she was wearing a violet night gown with her back to us watching what i had just done, then she rolled over the sofa and spun so she was facing me "well good job big sister for rescuing m- no, our little sister, if im being honest i wasn't sure you would pull it off, but considering your reputati-. . . oh right we were pretending not to know that whoopsie,"

Mary got off of my back and stared at Claire dead in her goggle covered eyes, "hello big sister, despite everything you've done it is... nice? To see you again" Mary said, Claire waved her off, "course it is sis, now I'm sure you're both hungry I know I am, so why don't we all go get something to eat? Doc was just telling me about this shushi restaurant place not that far from here, right Doc?" Claire turned to doc who was sitting in the same place he was earlier trying to fix that watch thing again,

He nodded not even looking at her, Mary spoke up "but it's light outside you-" once's again Claire waved her off "I'll be fine sis, besides it's my treat as a way to thank all of our new family members" as if a light bulb went off in Claire's head she looked like she realised something, and began introducing us again "this is Audrey, he's usually eating anything he can get his shadow on or destroying cities if he's not here, then there's doc, he is mostly fixing things, advising me, or running errands, but if you need him he'll be at his desk, and finally this is Leslie our newest member, now you won't need to worry about her cause her main job it to be your bodyguard,"

then Claire turned to me and said "there told you you'd get a high position, my sister needs someone powerful to guard her, someone female to help her bathe and eat, someone knowledgeable about medicines and poisons in case she falls ill or is poisoned, someone not bothered about showing some skin, and someone who will follow her routine, so early hours but early sleeps, and someone not afraid of animals, oh and you go where she goes regardless of how either of you feel, this isn't a romantic comedy if she needs to pi- to pee, you are to stay in the stall with her while she does, also as I am sleeping through day she may go out of our base providing you go with her, she isn't followed on the way back, nobody touches her, and she is to return before I wake up, failure to comply will mean, death"

Then Claire turned around and walked back to her room, "wait there i need to get dressed"

I stood there stunned, reputation? Do they know who i am? And assigning me as the bodyguard, despite the fact i had done very little to earn her trust? Not to mention doc, i know he was behind me, yet claire acted like he was always here, and finally- my thoughts were broken when two arms wrapped around my waist reminding me of the most important question, but i looked down at Mary she was blushing as she said "th-thank y-you, for res- rescuing m-me" why did she come with me? Didn't the others try and fail,

Eventually claire retuned wearing a black suit with a red shirt, she tossed a white dress to mary and told me to help her change, after that task was done she clapped her hands and Audrey and doc appeared, as doc led us to our destination I realised that mary never took her eyes of her sister,

CHAPTER THREE:

THE LIGHT IN THE DARK

END

Hope you enjoyed the chapter im going to have to write claire more cause in one chapter she became my favourite character

Also sorry for the ending, originally i was going to write Leslie's test from her perspective and show you what she could do

but i couldnt think of anything good and what i did think of was complete crap, so i deleted it and was like fuck it,

Also this chapter marks the beginning of a trend, as the story is called of heroes and villians we will be switching between

the heroes and the villians,

And as a climax the heroes and villains will meet,
