Bloodstained Gardenias
3hrs before Leo's abduction
"Ah, that was crazy." A thuggish looking Asian man said taking a hit from his cigarette as a short orange hoodie wearing humanoid with green skin, big yellow eyes and a jack-o-lantern mouth let out a gurgling chirp agreeing with him, "I honestly thought we weren't going to get away with the brat." a glasses wearing thug said as he leaned against the graffiti littered van, as an Octo-man (1chap) came from the backroom with another guy spoke up, "don't celebrate yet, as soon we get the ransom-" he paused and blinked as a large man in a red hoodie with the hood up with the rest of his face was covered by a black bandanna as he came slouch walking into the warehouse.
"Oh, hey Griggs I called you twenty minutes ago, what the hell?"
"…{annoyed grunt}…"
"What the fucks with him?"
Octo-man glared as 'Griggs' shoved passed him downstairs to the backroom, where the rest of their gang was. The Orange hoodie gurgled something causing them to stare in shock as glasses yelled "Seriously Zaz? She cheated on him with the cheese guy?!" Octo-man snorted then turned to the smoking thug. "ain't that crazy Chang?(chap1)….what?" taking in Chang terror filled expression as the thug's cigarette fell from his mouth causing the other three to follow his gaze, and froze when they saw a female motorcyclist all in black watching them.
Octo-man eyes narrowed as he approached his lackeys; letting out a small cough the three grabbed or pulled out weapons, as the fifth man stood by the stairs; getting ready to alert the rest of the gang if necessary.
"Hey there, what's your name?" Glasses asked taking a few steps forward, the rider remained silent as she got off her bike just as Glasses walked up and stopped right in front of her. "Are you lost? Or did the girl's parents send you?" he sneered getting ready to hit them with an asp
the Rider dodged and delivered a reverse roundhouse kick to Glasses face sending him flying into a pile of tires as Zaz came up behind her with a steel pipe getting ready to hit her, unfortunately for the yellow eyed humanoid the rider got a hold of the pipe.
and used it as leverage to send him flying over her shoulders into the running fifth man, sending them tumbling down the stairs into the backroom; to reveal that the rest gang had been taken out by Klaus disguised as Griggs as his green eyes landed on the two passed out thugs before running up stairs to see if Gardenia was alright.
As soon Klaus got upstairs he greeted by Glasses knocked out and buried under tires, and Gardenia advancing on Chang who had backed up against the van as the rider got closer a crackling noise rang out as the horrified thug's carefully aimed fist struck her in the abdomen, She let out a muffled grunt he kicked her away then in the stomach for good measure as a smug Chang held up stun knuckle it wasn't until he noticed the advancing redhead caused the thug to change his arrogant tune, he opened the back of the van only to be greeted by Octo's terrified face he furrowed brow confused before a familiar gloved hand grasped his shoulder…
(let's just say even Klaus was shocked by the Halfling's wrath.)
"Stun me jackass?" the rider snarled before using his knuckle to zap the unconscious bloodied man's ass before throwing it at his head, Just as Octo-man finally got the van started and peeled out of the warehouse, causing both his pursuers to look at each other and hop on Gunner and were hot on it's trail, Suddenly Gardenia's instincts were on overdrive; she surrounded Klaus in a shadow ball before kicking him off of Gunner. just as the van slammed on the brakes and sent the Halfling and familiar crashing and sliding down the road while it crashed into the guard rail.
When the bubble finally receded from around Klaus felt his heart sink as he took in the scene before him. the van was crashed into the guard rail while Gardenia's bike was a few feet away in the middle of the road along with it? the rider who was laying belly down helmet a few inches from her, Gardenia was…decapitated.
Octo pulled himself out of the van clutching his head; and started laughing nervously when he saw the headless girl laying in the road. What happened was like slow motion Gardenia's hands twitched along with her legs, before her headless body stood up on it's feet; smoke emanating from is headless stub, "That's not possible!" the octo-man yelled as he and Klaus stared in relief and horror.
The tense air around them seem thickened as smoke gathered around Gardenia's chest; she reached into it and pulled out a staff that morphed into Bardiche, she spun it around before lazily resting it on her shoulder; then mockingly gestured at Octo to come at her. That pissed the hysterical humanoid off as he pulled out a flick blade ran at her. Only for the Halfling to seemingly slice him into two, instead of cutting him her halberd went through Octo causing him to drop to his knees then his on his stomach unconscious.
Gardenia's shoulders slacked almost as if she was sighing as her body turned to where Klaus had stood only to find him gone; she tensed and looked around and found him holding her helmet clad head {Oh, man they cracked my visor} she thought as his emerald eyes stared at the short girl with concern then blinked when she pulled out her undamaged cell [R u OK?] "I should asking you that." he said scanning her for injuries as she waved in a dismissive manner [No worries I'm tougher then I look. ^_^] the redhead cocked his head to side confused why her head wasn't speaking.
"can your head speak?"
[No, it's bad luck to hear dullahan's head speak.]
"But, you talk all the time?"
[It's hard to explain, take my helmet off.]
Klaus complied with her request and took the helmet off and was met with Gardenia's face eyes shut with almost tranquil expression almost like she was sleeping. [IDK how. But, the only time anyone will hear my voice like this…is when they're going to die.]
She explained taking her head back and reattaching it "I mean after all, Dullahan's are harbingers of death." she added as the two of the walked up to the van, Klaus gave her empathetic look as the Halfling unlocked the back of the van they searched it then noticed a small lock on one of the backseats.
The brunette broke the lock and the two were met with a baby girl. who stared up at curiously before gurgling causing both adults to stare blankly; before her big gray eyes teared up and out a wail, causing Klaus to panic "T-There There! it's okay" he stuttered trying to calmed the infant down while Gardenia just scooped her up started rocking her.
"Hey~ hi sweetie, you certainly had a big adventure today. eh?~" the brunette cooed while she handed the redhead her phone with Dominick's number already on speed dial "the big ol' Klausie's gonna get your mommy!~" upon hearing this Klaus felt his cheeks heat up as he watched Gardenia calmed the baby down the Russian picked up.
"Ah, Dorogaya you have good news, da?"
"Actually it's Klaus. and the child is safe."
"That's good to hear, I'll call her parents right now, Poka-poka. [Bye-bye]"
Timeskip
Klaus stood by Gunner watching Gardenia hand the baby off to her family, who were very happy to see her as they were expressing their gratitude; the Halfling scratched the back of her head then pointed out her redheaded partner he blinked as they smiled and nodded at him,
"Well it seems you two had an eventful afternoon." Klaus looked up and saw Steven walking up to him as the scarred man watched the events as he approached the flustered redhead just as Gardenia's finished up with the parents.
"Oh, Steven when did you get here?"
"Just now, Klaus and I have some business to attend to, if you don't mind?"
"Nope, it's fine [puts on helmet] I was going to look Leo soon anyway."
"Ok then, by the way your visor cracked."
Gardenia let out a dry laugh as she climbed on Gunner nodding a farewell before speeding off, "Odd bike, the engine almost sounds like a horse?" Steven stated as they walked back to HQ Klaus for some reason he felt agitated over how attached Gardenia was to Leo, it was almost like he was…Jealous? No way.
Timeskip 10mins after Leo's abduction
Gardenia let out a frustrated sight as she search around for a familiar mop of maroon hair so far? Zilch… as she turned down a vacant street, she failed to noticed a laundry truck speeding strait for her until the second; the only thing that went through her mind was…"Luck of the Irish, my ass!" before very thing went dark.
