The day was quite literally started, the sun wasn't even risen yet, and still Rock was up and feeling good as new and it was strange since he was sure that it was past one in the morning when he finally felt exhausted after an intense lovemaking session, probably another special feature of the Dark Knight System.
He looked to the clock on his bedroom wall and saw that was barely 4:30 in the morning, his beloved still deeply asleep by his side with a smile in her lips and a peaceful expression in her face, till this day Rock wondered how he ended up with such a marvelous woman, and noticing that it was almost time for her to wake up for her daily work out, he decides that she deserved a little treat for being such a diligent worker.
He knew that Balalaika have abnormal good reflexes and even sleeping she is on guard, so more carefully than anything he slowly moves under the sheets, searching in the almost completely darkness of the room for his girlfriend's secret garden and low and behold he found it.
Rock couldn´t say if it was the soap she uses, if it's her natural scent or a combination of both, but sure as hell, she smelled like spring flowers and like a bee he couldn't resist her scent so why beat around the proverbial bush. So sneaky as he can be he starts to make his way through her well-kept garden, enjoying the sensation of the well-trimmed patch of slightly darker golden pubes next to his nose, filling his nostril with a hypnotic smell, while his tongue explored her folders, searching for her rosebud and making him go crazy, she smelled like spring and tasted even better and that obviously made him more motivated with his task and he knew he was doing a good job when she started to quietly moan.
"suka blyat! A woman could get addicted to this", she says recovering her breath, "this is surely I good way to start the day".
"agree, nothing like a little treat before breakfast to start the day on the right foot", Rock says licking his lips.
"and now I believe it's my turn to give you a treat Mr. sneaky", she says snuggling with him.
"two treats in a day?!today must be my birthday", he says hugging Balalaika whose still couldn't believe on her luck.
She was really surprised, on their first 'date', he had showed her that he has skills and gave her the best sex she had in a long, long time, but she tough that was only a mix of his need to please and fear for his life, many had done that, the first times was great, but the next ones were horrible, most of the lovers she had just assumed that they could slack of on her, those didn't lasted for too long, especially since she didn't let them live too long after the 'break up' to prevent them to run their mouths. But Rock, Rock was different, at each one of their 'dates' he improved and was more than happy on making her feel pleasure and god he was good, it was like he took pleasure on making her feel pleasure.
"you really are an odd one", she says chuckling and taking him for a kiss, "but you are my odd one".
He blushed profusely with that, he was happy about being able to make her feel good.
"so… since I already had my treat, what do you want for breakfast?", he says still blushing and trying not to sound like a moron.
"I don't know, maybe an omurice, maybe eggs in a nest or maybe…", she trails her hands down thought his body and gets a very firm hold of his manhood under the sheets, "…I will just have a sausage".
It was already seven in the morning when they finally had fished, the room was smelling as you can expect of a place where an intense lovemaking session had just happened, the air inside was hot and dense, even with the AC running at maximum force.
"this sure is a good way to start the day", says Balalaika in a mix of ecstasy and exhaustion, "damn, if you gonna be this energetic in the morning, maybe I should let you sleep around a bit".
She said in a mockery tone, sure she was barely keeping up with his pace, but she wasn't going share him with anyone.
"thanks but no", Rock answers without even flinching, "I am a man of only one woman".
"look at you, a man of honor, I am so lucky, I just hope we didn't wake up anyone".
"and so do I, in any case I should get up, I still need to make breakfast and wake up Revy, we have a long list of errands for the day".
"and I going to take a nap, wake-me up when the food is ready".
"as you wish", he says getting up and leaning down to give her a kiss on her forehead, "have a good nap my tsarina".
It was goofy, it was cheesy but also was sincere.
It was seven and a half in the morning when breakfast was ready, eggs in a nest, bacon and salad with strong black tea to wash it all, in the end he didn't even needed to wake Balalaika, the smell of the food did this for him and as much as he would love to stay and eat he needed to wake up Revy, so he does what he always does and fix a plate for his partner and goes to her apartment.
"Revy, its me!", he says knocking on her door, holding he plate and feeling extremely uncomfortable with the looks that the Russians standing in the hallway were giving him, "Revy, I am going in".
As he was ready to take the key for her apartment out of her pocket the door opens.
"get in dickhead!", she shouts in his face, for Rock's surprise she was awake and dressed.
"good morning to you too Revy", he says walking inside her always messy apartment and handling her the plate, while he walked to her kitchen to make her some coffee, "what's the occasion for you to wake up on your own?".
"who said I got up by myself? You and sis were so loud that the entire building sounded like a fucking Russian porn studio", she said seating on her bed and digging in on her plate.
"wait, so everyone heard?"
"yep and goddamn it, is better you be using protection or else sis will end with a bun in the oven".
"oh shit! that explains the looks the guys outside were giving-me; Balalaika is gonna kill-me when she finds out".
"relax, isn't like those ivans would be blabbering about their kapitan sex life, besides, they must be jealous".
"yeah, yeah", he says annoyed while walking back to her room with a mug of coffee and giving it to her.
"so what's for today?", Revy says taking a sip, he would never say it out loud but she was happy for having someone who really cared for her, even if he was already taken.
"the lagoon is under maintenance, so no sailing for the next two days, for today we have some errands to run, but it must take at maximum half a day to complete and tomorrow we have the day off", Rock says lightning a cigarette while giving one to Revy, "first stop for the day is at the market to collect a payment".
"fuck, hey do sis have a job for us? I could really use some shooting time today", Revy asks finishing her meal.
"don't know, but we can ask", Rock answers taking the plate of her hands.
Soon the two of them were already on the road, with the errand list on hands, things were running strangely smoothly, too smooth to be normal, normally at this point one or two of their clients would be whining or trying to bargain, but today they were all cooperating without complaining, even Rowan was behaving like true gentleman, he didn't even try convince Revy to participate in his BDSM show.
"Revy, do you think that…", he starts saying but is cut mid-sentence.
"they know you and fry-face are shagging in bushes?", Revy says while lightning another cigarette, "probably yes".
"I was about to ask if they know that I am that black armor, but I believe you are right".
"don't feel bad Rock baby, this kind of thing spreads faster around here, besides is not like anyone with a little love for his balls will do something against you, nobody is that dumb to poke the bear, especially one with enough firepower to burn this city to the ground".
"well, at least one good thing came out of this", Rock says while pulling out close to the chapel, "we arrived, please don't start a fight".
"bite-me, it's not my fault that slut can't keep her hands to herself, besides now if she gets that STD spreader she calls pussy next to you she would have to deal with sis".
"you got what I meant, let's just finish here and go home".
"the best thing you said all day partner".
Inside the main building Rock was finishing the transaction with Sister Yolanda, the one eyed old nun who was the head of the Church of Violence, Revy was almost blowing her top since Eda, the less than holy blonde nun was up her ass nagging the fact that she waited do long Rock was taken by Balalaika.
"I believe this finishes the order for now, Dutch will wire the payment for the usual account".
"good, good", says the old nun sipping on her tea, "tell-me young man, do you have any information about that 'pet devil' under Balalaika's service?"
"as much as anyone else Sister, why do you ask?", Rock was a little wary about her question, but he kept his cool.
"a few of my clients are going crazy about such marvelous weapon, some want to destroy it and some want to control it, anyway a marvelous profit wait for us, if we can provide a mean for both ends".
"and given my new found relationship with the woman who controls the weapon, you tough that maybe a have some useful info about it", He says without taking his eyes from the nun, who's smiled gently at him.
"oh well, I was hoping that you could fill me in about that devil of hers".
"as I said, I know as much as anyone else, the best I can give is that he is powerful and loyal", Says Rock finishing his tea, "it was pleasure as always sister and this tea was magnificent, we should exchange recipes any of this day".
"thanks, and you can be sure we will, I need to get a hold of your especial blend, that brew is the nectar of god".
On the way home Revy was fuming, Eda managed to pinch every single nerve she has.
"Rock, let-me borrow one of those fucking lasers of yours, just for a day!", she says furiously smoking.
"sorry Revy, those things are attached to my body", he answered her with a real fear that she would try to rip-off one of his arms.
"aw fuck-it, the coolest toy in the universe and it lands on the biggest pussy in the universe", she says suddenly remembering something, "hey, did the other one shown sing of life?".
"nope, but the good news is that, by what is being said on the news a strange object was spotted falling from the skies on the south American continent, the bad news is that it probably already has a host".
"aw fuck me! there goes my chance of having a cool space toy!", she says in utter disappointment before realizing something, "don't you think that…".
"I am praying to every single god I know to not, especially considering the other things this system does", he says in utterly dismay, just remembering what he saw in one of the files.
"and that would be?", Revy asks opening a devilish smile seeing the expression on Rock's face.
"the Knight Systems are hereditary, that means my kids will have it and above all it also filters genes, this means that it will delete all the defects of your genes and pass on only the good things".
"holy shit! So it means that your hell spawns will be superiors to the others", she laughs hard at this, "fry-face must be really happy if you guys ever breed your brats will be the top dogs".
"actually she doesn't care much, we don't have the intention of having kids, besides she is really worried about one thing", he says quivering, "if the system choses a woman as a host, it will start a heat like behavior directed first to the closest male hosted system and secondly to any other sexually mature male around it, which means that if the White Knight has landed on a woman I am fucked in more than one way since this will also cause me to get into heat, or would, thankfully the heat can be deactivated and that's what I did".
"come on Rock baby, I know this isn't the end of it, spill it".
"well, Balalaika gave-me the green light to breed with the other system if the host is a woman, she wants an army of knights".
For a second the car sinks into a dead silence, for three seconds before Revy starts to laugh like a crazy woman while Rock was getting redder and redder.
"that's not fun, I maybe a pansy, but I have at least the decency of being loyal to my partners, I don't see the fun of sleeping with a woman who I am not in a relationship", he says with a tone that clearly screams both awkwardness and honesty.
"fuck that! Fry-face gave you the green light, this means that as long as the conditions are fulfilled you are free to get your dick wet in another pussy".
"but I don't want to, okay call-me every single name under the sun, but I don't want to cheat on Balalaika, I wouldn't want her to cheat on me, so why should I cheat on her".
"dude, if she knows and gives you permission so isn't cheating… damn, if you use that silver tongue of your you can even have a threesome".
"Revy, threesomes are overrated, so what if you managed to get more than one partner in bed, one thing is get another partner, satisfy them is another completely different story".
"you are the first guy I know who would refuse a threesome with such a week excuse".
"oh! All might and all-knowing Revy 'two-hands' Lee, point to this ignoring being where lies his ignorance and maybe I can consider even bringing this utter bullshitical idea in front of the woman who can easily rip-off my balls with her bare hands", he says in a slightly annoyed tone.
"yeah, yeah, like you couldn't…", Revy starts saying but stops as soon as she seen in the horizon an enormous pillar of black smoke, "HOLY SHIT! What the fuck is that?!".
"I don't know, but I have a terrible feeling about it", Rock says finally pulling out at the office.
Inside the mood was the same as if a new war was about to begin, everyone was silent and staring the tv were an emergence news report was being showed, even Balalaika was there, watching the news with a disturbing firm gaze.
"guys what's happening?", Rock says feeling the tension in the air and suddenly feeling a strong pain in the head.
"well, looks like the other system finally showed himself", said Dutch noticing Rock's pain, "and I can guess that now you are receiving it's signal".
"yes, how bad is the situation?", Rock says taking a place in front of the television.
"look for yourself", Balalaika voice sounded tense and worried.
Upon turning his eyes to the tv Rock saw what was causing the commotion, a reporter in a helicopter was screaming in disbelief at the scene described as "the burning hell on earth" while the camera showed in front of them a white and female version of Rock's armor, flying over a burning inferno were before was both Bolivia, Venezuela and everything between, now reduced to a wild fire.
The color disappears from everybody's face when the white armor turns to the camera, it wasn't looking directly to the ones in the helicopter, but it didn't matter even with the v shaped visor it was possible to feel the furious eyes behind it.
But what makes half of the room, Revy and Boris included piss their collective pants were when the camera gave a zoom in and got a full body close on the armor who was using a maid uniform, ragged, burnt and tainted by the fire and the smoke.
"please let it be Fabiola, please let it be Fabiola", Rock begged under his breath, unbeknownst to him that everybody else in the room was doing the same.
And once again god royally ignored them and doubled down on their begging by making the one using the armor stare directly into the camera and retracts the helmet, revealing the face of the woman using such armor and this makes everyone's bladder give up when they see that out of the billions of people who lived in the planet, another of the most powerful weaponry on the universe had to fall on the second most dangerous and scary woman in a world of scary women, if before Roberta was nicknamed the Terminator now she is something that could give the Terminator nightmares.
"thank god we have something as powerful as her", says Dutch so pale that he looked like he had changed from an Afro-American to Caucasian while looking at Rock.
"uhm, guys I have bad news and even worse news", says Rock, feeling his soul leaving the body when the maid killer from hell leaved the place flying at an ungodly speed.
"oh god, what's the bad news?", Says Revy trembling with fear for the first time in a long time.
"well, looks like the civilization that created the system made it so it couldn't be used against each other, at least the offensive function, so I can't stop her using the system".
"and what are the worse news?", Balalaika asked already accepting that she and her men were about to be erased from this world.
"the worse news is that she is in completely heat", Rock says while projecting a screen with information about Roberta's system, acquired after they synchronized, "apparently by now she is being driven by her instincts and desires, both her natural and artificial instincts, so per now she is driven by both her desire for revenge and procreation, and to top it all, to procreate with her I would need to win against her hand combat, in both cases I am dead".
"hold on, so that war machine is coming to Roanapur, utterly furious… and horny?", Says Balalaika remembering a conversation she had with his boyfriend after he revealed some functions of his system, "Rock, do you remember our conversation about what would happen if the second Knight System happened to get itself attached to a female?".
It takes half a second to Rock to translate the nuances of what was being said by his beloved, but when he got what was being said his eyes went wide open.
"no!", he says almost jumping out of his skin, "I'm not doing this".
"yes you will and you gonna like it", Balalaika says sounding like a stern mother telling to his child that he is going to eat his vegetables and he's gonna like it, to the collective confusion of almost everybody in the room.
