Axel squared his shoulders and knocked on the door before him. A minute passed and he repeated the motion, a bit more insistently. After yet another minute, he pounded once. "Come on! I know you're in there, bitch!"

The door flung open and Larxene leaned against the frame. A wicked smile crossed her face. "Well, well, Axel. Finally give up on the boy?"

"Forget it, Larx," snapped Axel. "I'm not here for you."

The smile disappeared and her eyes narrowed dangerously. "Then why are you here?"

Axel blew out a breath. "I need your help."

"Oh, really?" She smirked. Reached out a hand, she traced the zipper of his coat with a finger. "…And why would I want to help you?"

"Because you want revenge on Xaldin, too."

All amusement left her face and an almost psychotic gleam entered her eyes. She turned back into her room and motioned for Axel to follow. She dropped down on her bed, supporting her weight on her hands behind her and crossing her legs. "Talk."

Axel folded his arms. "You don't need to know the details."

Larxene threw her head back and laughed. It came back up almost immediately, double strands of blonde hair falling forward. "He did something to poor little Roxy, didn't he?"

The redhead only glared. "Are you going to help or not?"

"All right," The only female member of the Organization leapt back off the bed. "You have a plan?"

"Of course," Axel grinned. "When don't I?"

She walked up to him and ran a finger along his tattooed face. She smiled at him flirtatiously. "It's a shame you're so hung up on the kid. You're the only one here I like."

Axel smirked and brought his lips to whisper in her ear. "Too bad I know you're an evil, sadistic bitch. I might have actually liked you, too."

She sighed contentedly before abruptly turning, expression cold. She opened her door and stepped out. "Let us find Xaldin."

"Right behind you."
