Random Winx Idea

(A/N: I own nothing and this just popped into my head at random…don't ask me why. AU OOC Bashing and femslash all possible and likely.)
"Easy there." Bloom said catching the other woman who had bumped into her and nearly toppled over despite being a head taller than the red haired Fairy. She hadn't been expecting anyone else to be near the alleyways apparently but Bloom preferred the solitude and risk of danger and excitement. The woman had apparently been walking fast and had turned a corner without looking or time to stop.
"I'm sorry. I was just in a hurry and-" The woman was speaking in Japanese, god was Bloom glad that her magic gave her a universal translator in her head that let her talk and understand pretty much any language. It gave her a few easy A's in high school and had the teachers tearing their hair out. She missed those days. Back when she was completely, or mostly at least, unaware of the power within her and the danger it always brought to her and those near her.
Of the curse that came with being the Avatar and Bearer of the Great Dragons Flame.
"There she is!" A man shouted shooting at the tall woman talking to Bloom who gave them a dragon death stare when a bullet grazed her cheek.
"There's the CIA bitch! Let's kill her and take her to the bosses and reveal her traitorous ways. Kill the spare." The random mook said and that was all that Bloom needed to hear.
"Wrong move." Bloom said with a low guttural chuckle and instantly a wall of flames erupted and began to burn around the men, not touching them but incinerating any bullets they tried to shoot out.
Bloom waited until she could no longer feel the men's life forces and then released the fire, the woman staring shocked at the almost pristine bodies of the men who had suffocated thanks to the fire eating all of the oxygen within the sphere.
"Sorry about that ma'am but they seem to have been after you and I was just…in the line of fire?" Bloom offered with a small smirk as she looked at the woman.
"How did you do that?" The woman asked staring at Bloom shocked and a bit amazed.
"A bit of fire power is all. Fight fire with fire right?" Bloom said smirking wider and making the woman nod a bit and then stare at Bloom hard.
"I hate to involve a random bystander in this…but my name is Hidemi Hondou, however right now I am using the name Rena Mizunashi. I am an American CIA agent who is undercover as a regular news woman here in Japan. My mission was to infiltrate an international crime syndicate and not only expose it and it's boss but bring it down by any means possible. From what I saw just now you're more than a match for most of the unnamed agents and the low ranked codenamed agents. If you agree I'd like to enlist your help in my mission. This means you'll be surrounded by criminals nearly 24 hours a day and one wrong move will cost you your life. Therefore I am asking if you want to get involved. If you say no then I need you to forget everything you've witnessed and heard in the last ten minutes and go about your day as normal." The woman, Hidemi, said making Bloom quirk an eyebrow.
"A world saving gig huh? Been a few years since I've had one of those. Alright then Miss Hidemi. This seems like it'd be the most interesting thing to happen to me this decade so perhaps it'll keep me entertained for a while. Very well…how about we make an agreement? After all it seems unfair for me to help you in your noble quest but to get nothing in return other than some mild entertainment." Bloom said with a smirk and making Hidemi's eyes narrow a bit.
"You will have to address me as Rena. And very well…what would the terms of this agreement be?" Hidemi asked staring at the woman hard and making the red head chuckle again.
"My my don't look so suspicious of me. You see I have been…shall we say…in hiding? Or rather…unavailable to most people for the last couple of years, more than a decade really, and therefore am very far behind on how things are socially and all. Not to mention that I have no actual home to call my own, nor any way to purchase one at the moment. In exchange for helping you bring down this organization then how about you let me stay at your home or apartment or wherever until I…let's say get back on my feet?" Bloom asked with a smile and Hidemi stared at her hard.
"You look like you're barely twenty…and yet you're talking like you're much older than that. Just…who are you? How old are you?" Hidemi asked making Bloom sigh slightly.
"I? I am just a girl that was raised in a small city called Gardenia in America. As for my age? Hm I truly wonder about that now." Bloom said looking up at the sky thoughtfully.
"But…Gardenia was wiped off of the map. A tsunami took out the entire town one day without warning. I know, I remember watching that when…" Hidemi said staring wide eyed at the girl shocked and a bit sad now.
"True. I was able to save the universe several times but the one time when I could save the place I grew up in…I wasn't able to. Most of my friends and family were caught in that tsunami. I believe one of the news stations showed a married couple and four teenage girls that no one could identify being drowned in a home that was half destroyed in the first hit? That was my friends and my parents. I think I began to lose count after that event." Bloom said humming slightly.
"That happened almost twenty years ago…I remember seeing it as a seven year old girl in the living room with my dad. The girls they found…they were determined to be between the ages of eighteen and twenty two…you…you would have to be almost forty two by now?" Hidemi said making Bloom hum a bit.
"That sounds about right. Of course Stella was a year older than the rest of us so I can see why the ages might have been thrown off a bit when you add her into the mix. Honestly the only survivors besides me was an old woman who lived in the woods who hadn't been in town that entire month, her apprentice who had been with her, and another friend of mine who had been at college the day of the disaster…I still don't know how I survived. After all I was right there when it hit and fire does not mix well with water…" Bloom trailed off as she stared at the flames dancing along her fingertips curiously.
"Just who or what are you?" Hidemi asked staring at the red head in front of her amazed and in disbelief.
"I? I am a monster in human form. A being of pure fire who is inside of a fleshy body. I am one who can destroy worlds with a flick of my wrist and create new ones with a snap of my fingers. I am both dragon and human. Both mortal and not." Bloom said with a low chuckle as she seemed to ponder the question and her answer a bit.
"I have been called many things. Demon, dragoness, witch, goddess, devil…monster…freak…cursed…Red death, destroyer of worlds, Fire Bringer, Dragon Keeper, student, teacher, creator, killer, princess…sister…daughter…friend…." Bloom trailed off sadly at the end before she shook her head for a moment and looked at Hidemi as she stuck her hand out.
"However the name I've had the longest is Bloom. So then Hidemi Hondou, older sister of Eisuke Hondou and daughter of Ethan Hondou…do we have an agreement?" Bloom asked and Hidemi's eyes widened.
"How did you know about my dad and brother?" Hidemi asked her voice tight.
"I know many things that most should not. How about I add another term to our agreement? Not only will I help you bring this crime organization down…but…if you don't mind helping me get some food, or feeding me while I stay with you either one, then not only will I ensure that you complete your mission alive…but that no harm shall come to those you hold dearest as well? What do you say? Sound good?" Bloom asked making Hidemi stare at her suspiciously but she didn't have much of a choice but to trust this woman.
"So in exchange for staying in the spare room of my apartment until I can help you get back on your feet and meals while you stay with me…you'll not only help me destroy the organization but you'll also protect me and my brother?" Hidemi asked making Bloom nod her head.
"I will protect those that you hold dearest, which includes your brother." Bloom agreed making Hidemi nod and then reach out and shake hands with Bloom.
Just in time because not ten seconds after their 'deal' was sealed did she hear footsteps and see the familiar figure of Gin approaching quickly from another alleyway. Bloom didn't bat an eye though which made Hidemi suspect she knew he was coming towards them.
"Kir what happened here?" Gin demanded making Bloom raise an eyebrow.
"Sir. I found evidence suggesting one of the dead men back there, Grey Goose, of being a CIA rat. They found me out however and tried to eliminate me before I could turn the evidence over to be pursued by our intelligence division or to Rum and That Person for further orders. I was hoping to lose them in the side streets when I bumped into this woman. Then…Well she managed to kill all three of them in the span of a minute without them even managing to fight back." Kir reported to Gin with a stoic cold face.
"Oh?" Gin asked looking at Bloom who looked at him curiously.
"Are you a guy or a woman?" Bloom asked confused. In an instant Gin pulled his gun out and shot Bloom through the head.
Hidemi felt her small shred of hope die at seeing the woman she just made a deal with topple to the ground with a hole in her head.
"I'm a man." Gin growled at the body on the ground before he turned on his heel as if to leave.
"You could have just said that without shooting me. Bloodstains are a bitch to get out of cloths you know?" Bloom asked sitting up calm as you please and making Gin whirl around. Kir was gaping just as much as Gin was as Bloom stared at them with a hole in her head and a bored look on her face while the hole began to slowly heal up until it left perfectly smooth flawless skin where the hole had previously been.
"I've killed people for less than that you know?" Bloom said casually.
The hope that had died in Hidemi's heart flared back to life stronger and brighter than ever. This lady could survive being shot through the head?
And she had promised that no harm would come to Hidemi or her precious people?
Holy shit.
