Chapter 6: Welcome to the world
It was a fine day at Black Hat Organization. Black Hat was in his office, enjoying his morning tea while reading the newspaper. Normally he would be busy dealing with some paperwork and clients by this time, but today there weren't surprisingly many work that needed to be done so he decided not to rush. Fluggie was in her lab, working on a new invention like usual. 5.0.5, like a good bear he always was, had cleaned up the table after breakfast and was cleaning the kitchen, as well as the other rooms. Demencia was-
Wait, where was Demencia?
"Haha, poor you." Black Hat chuckled, satisfied as he was reading an article on the newspaper. The heroes had recently trying into break into the villains' places, including his, but failed due to the security system that he sold to his clients a long while ago. "Hell, even a fly wouldn't be able to go through that system."
As he flipped to another pages and took a sip from his cup, a woman with mismatch eyes slowly poked her head out from behind his chair and leaned over his newspaper. "Hey Black Hat! Whatcha doing?"
Black Hat nearly spilled over his tea.
"The fuck did you come from, Demencia?!" He asked as he gripped the handle of his cup tightly, trying his best to hold it in place.
"Well, the doors weren't locked so I just… slipped in?"
Black Hat looked up at the twin doors. They were indeed not locked and one of them was still slightly creak opened, as a result of Demencia sneaking in. He sighed and returned to his newspaper. "Don't do that again, got that?"
"Okie dokie!" Demencia said and leaned her face down to the newspaper he was holding. "So… what are you reading?"
"Some news, nothing else." He answered simply, not saying anything further.
"Why aren't you doing work today?"
"There's not much."
"When are you planning on working?"
"Afternoon."
"What if you don't finish them on time?"
He let out a groan. "That won't happen."
She paused for a while, trying to find if there was something else to ask. "Oh, and Black Hat-"
"Demencia." He cut her off, not looking at her. "I'm trying to enjoy my ONE and ONLY peaceful morning here, so you better stay quiet."
"Hmm…" She rubbed her chin for a while before exclaiming, snapping her fingers. "Oh, I know! Maybe I can help you with your work-"
Before she could even finish, she felt a tentacle on her back, pushing her toward the doors. Once she was outside the room, his tentacle held the doorknob and slammed it shut in front of her. She stared at the doors for a while before crossing her arms.
"You're no fun." She pouted before turning one heel and walked away down the hallway. "Oh 5.0.5, where are you?"
"She's finally gone…" He let out a sigh. "Goddamn, that woman is annoying."
He continued reading his newspaper while sipping his tea, trying to enjoy the morning as he could… when suddenly there was a knock on the doors.
He grunted in annoyance. "Demencia, what did I tell you?"
There was no answer… until the doors were knocked on again.
"No, Demencia, I'm not letting you in again."
He heard another knock and slammed his free hand down the desk, not bothering if the newspaper fell down onto the floor.
"GOD FREAKING DAMNIT! Demenica, I told you NOT TO-"
"It- It's me, sir."
He was stopped midway when he heard a different voice. It was Fluggie, and he sighed lightly. "Come in."
He snapped his fingers and the newspaper floated back into his hand, at the same time Fluggie opened the door slightly. "Um… Do you have time to talk right now?"
"Go on."
"W- Well, I'm sorry that this isn't something important, but…" She said as she fiddled her thumbs, not looking straight at him. "How will you go into the hospital if you're in that f- form?"
"Oh, you mean when I teleport there?" He said calmly. "Well, you do remember that I can always disguise as a human being, don't you?"
A small "oh" made Black Hat let out a sigh.
"Do you have any other question?"
"No. Thank you for your time, sir."
With that said, she closed the door, leaving him alone again with silence. He let out a heavy sigh. With Demencia, he would be super grateful if she left him alone like that. But with Fluggie, whenever she came and left, he felt kind of lonely.
He ignored that and took another sip from his cup.
"Welcome back, my villain viewers!" Black Hat announced as Cam-bot started recording. "Black Hat is here again to provide you goods that will help you defeat the heroes you wish to destroy in no time at all!"
"Here in my hand, I have an ice gun. It will be very useful if you want to freeze your enemy and take actions on them." Fluggie said as she held up the gun with one hand.
"Okay, show us how it works, doctor."
"Now, first off, you-"
She cut herself off. She winced, collapsing to the floor and dropping the gun as the sudden pain rushed over her body. Seeing that, Black Hat looked at Cam-bot and demanded. "Cam-bot, cut!" He then turned over Fluggie and knelt down beside her. "Fluggie, what's wrong?!"
She didn't reply, but instead let out a painful yelp, holding her belly tightly. His eyes widened as he caught of what was happening.
"Fluggie, are you okay there-"
Demencia, who was rushing over Fluggie along with 5.0.5, was cut off when Black hat turned over them.
"It's time."
"Okay miss, now push!"
A nurse told Fluggie, who was lying on a labor table. Beside her was Black Hat who was in his disguise. She gritted her teeth as she gripped his hand so hard that her knuckles were turning white.
"You can do this Fluggie!"
He said, trying to sound like a human as possible as she let out a scream.
"Hmm…?"
"Oh, you're awake."
Fluggie fluttered her eyes open and she looked over the direction of the voice. It was Black Hat, who was sitting beside her, crossing his legs.
"S- Sir…?"
She asked in a weak voice, vision still a little blurry. When her view was clear again, she took a look around. The room she was in was completely white with white wall and a matching door. She was lying on a soft and comfortable bed with white sheet and blanket. Placed beside where Black Hat was sitting was a small nightstand with a lamp with some drawers.
"A- Are we in a hospital…?"
"Yes." He answered. "How are you feeling now?"
"Um… I'm… quite fine, I guess. What happened, sir?"
Before Black Hat could answer, the door opened, revealing a nurse. "Miss Slys, you finally woke up." She then smiled, showing a bundle in her arms. "Congratulations, you just gave birth to a healthy baby boy!"
Hearing this, Fluggie's eyes widened, heart beating fast. She was able to recall what happened before she passed out. "Please, I want to see him-" She tried to get up, but then stopped as a sudden pain rushed over her.
"Please do not move at this moment, miss. You're still weak."
The nurse said as she walked over the other two and handed the bundle over to Fluggie. Hands shaking, Fluggie slowly and carefully took it into her arms. She stopped for a while, looking at her baby. It was a fine baby boy with fair skin and dark black hair, and he was sleeping soundly inside the white blanket he was wrapped in.
Fluggie… didn't know what to say. After nine months, he had arrived into her world and was now sleeping in her arms. She felt tears beginning to form at the corners of her eyes, but she tried to hold them back. Gently stroking the baby's hair, she smiled in happiness of being a mother now.
"You seem to like him, Fluggie."
"Yes, I really do, boss." She said. "I am a mother now…"
He looked at her for a while. She seemed… so happy being with her son. Her smile showed joy and happiness, it didn't seem to fade on her lips. And was that a drop of tears he saw that rolled down her cheek?
She raised one hand up, wiping away the tears drop.
"I will raise him, no matter what happens, even if… his father isn't here…" She looked over him and smiled. "But… thank you sir. You're here for him at this very day in his life."
His heart skipped a beat upon seeing her smiling at him. "N- No problem. You're my employee after all."
The door slammed open, revealing a panicking Demencia. "Where is Fluggie?!"
"Shut up! The baby's sleeping, you know." Black Hat shushed her quiet.
"Oh sorry. Anyway, I brought her stuff, like you told me." Demencia pointed down to the bag she was holding in her other hand.
"Good."
"So…" The woman with mismatch eyes walked over Fluggie's bed. "Is that the baby?"
"Yes, Dememcia." Fluggie answered. "Oh, where's 5.0.5?"
"He's back at the mansion. He couldn't come with me."
"Oh well, I guess he'll get to see the baby once I get home."
Demencia knelt down beside the bed, poking her head up to look at the sleeping baby. "What are ya gonna call him?"
"Yeah, I was about to ask that." Black Hat said.
Fluggie paused for a while, trying to come up with something nice. "Hmm… I'm thinking about… Ryan."
"Ryan?" Demencia tapped her chin. "That's pretty good for a name."
"I really have no comment here." Said Black Hat. "I'm not really good with names."
"Well…"
Fluggie said, smiling down at her son once again.
"Ryan Slys, welcome to the world."
Okay, in case you're confused about Fluggie's last name, I found out that her last name was Slys on Villainous Wiki. And I suck at naming, so… I actually searched on Google for good boy names. Also, I was supposed to update a day ago, but I was having a writer's block. So just after about 5 minutes of writing, I got unsatisfied with how the chapter was turning out and decided to stop.
Anyway, thanks for reading this chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave a review and I'll see you again soon.
Bye!
