For some reason the Base felt empty without Private around. Red susposed it was due to her having grown accomstomed to her son over the years she and the Count had raised him and now that he was gone...
Though she didn't want to admit to it, Red couldn't deny that she missed him. Now that the house was empty besides her and the Count, Red fount her mind wondering in directions that shouldn't even be allowed.
Empty Nest Syndrome.
Red's was pretty certain that was what she had. Now that Private was gone, she wanted another because she had gotten to used to having a child around.
She didn't like it.
She was the World's Most Wanted Villain.
The Monster told to children in stories to get them to go to listen and behave.
The Vilest of the Vile.
She wasn't supposed to be lonely and wanting another child so there were be that soft patter of feet around the house.
Yet she was and she didn't like it in the least. She needed the feeling to go away.
The Count watched as his Protégé made her way down to the Labs with a blank emotionless look in her lone eye. He sighed softly, knowing the Russian would probably be down in the Labs for hours, trying to work herself back into her old thought process.
And not one involved around the possibility of another child for her to care for.
Oh yes, he knew exactly what Red was no doubt thinking about. He had went through the same exact phrase when Red had set out on her own.
So he wasn't that worried.
Red would get over it in time and go back to causing havoc and chaos around the world in no time.
