Scarlett POV
"So, it went well?" Johnny asks, me reclined all the way back in my chair at my desk the afternoon after my date,
"It was fun actually, especially when he was translating the menu, the stupid thing was in French so I couldn't understand a word of it" I say, smirking at the memory it was so funny looking back on it, I got frustrated at one point near to the end of the evening when it came to the desserts and I asked the waiter why it was written in French when majority of the population of our city speaks English, and he didn't even have a response for me. And I may or may not have caused the glass of wine he was pouring behind the bar to explode in his hand, this of course made Floyd and myself laugh.
"So, will there be a second date?" he asks, I smile while looking to my computer,
"Yeah, we're going out again tomorrow night" I say, looking at some of the client's information, seeing their stats and how much they are bringing in, the accounts balances and checking on the security to make sure it is alright.
"Angel did you ask Deke to come by?" Johnny asks, I look up to see him with the phone of his desk in hand,
"Yeah, I have an appointment with him" I say, now logging out and making a double check to see it is all secure.
"I thought you said your date was tomorrow" he says, I smile at him standing up,
"I know, I'm not getting another make over Johnny. I've decided to get a new tattoo" I say, he looks at me surprised,
"Oh? What are you getting?" he asks, I look to Deke as he enters the room,
"It's a surprise" I say, leading Deke into one of the private rooms, him setting his equipment up near the chair I'm going to be sitting in,
"As we discussed Deke" I say, now taking my jacket off.
Four hours later –
"You did well, Angel" Deke says, now packing his kit away, I smile at this, happy that I only wore a bikini top that won't touch my back as it's a halter, my back still being a little tender, but nothing I can't handle, it was well worth it. I decided to get large angel wings on my back to look life-like like they are tucked in, and for them to be black feathers. And looking at the mirror, I have to admit I love them!
"Not my first time" I say with a smirk which he scoffs at with a grin, my eyes going to my right hand where the smile that myself and J got when we were younger, matching laughing mouths.
I stand up from where I have been sat, carefully stretching, then go to the door and am slightly surprised to see J, Johnny and Max sat down in chairs, their eyes immediately on me,
"Did I miss something?" I ask, looking at them curiously, did I forget about a meeting?
"Heard you were getting a new tattoo sis, wanted to see what you got" J says, I roll my eyes at him for this, nosy brother of mine, slowly to draw suspense I turn for them to look at my back, waiting to hear their response.
"Excellent" I hear Johnny says, I smirk at this, looking behind my shoulder at them, seeing their eyes on my back, big smiles that's a good sign.
"What do you think dear brother?" I ask, his eyes go from my back to me, a grin growing,
"Very cliché little sister, but is certainty suits you. And certainly, goes with your punishments, I heard what you had done to that guy, saw his neck tattoo on the news after they found his body. Was like you left your mark on him to allow others know that you abandoned him and left him to the wolves, was almost poetic" he says, now stood directly behind me, his fingers ghosting over my tattoo,
"I suppose your living up to your name then angel? Needed the wings to go with the name" Max says, I smirk at him for this,
"That's right, and it's nice to know you still understand me without me even needing to explain big brother" I say turning around now to face them,
"I like it" Johnny says, I smile at him for this,
"I hear that's not the only new thing going on however little sister, I heard you went on a date last night, it's not nice to hear from others when I should be told by you myself" he says, I roll my eyes at him for this,
"I didn't tell you because the last time someone looked at me funny you shot him in the face. And I wanted to go without worrying you would hire someone to shoot him if they thought he looked at me wrong, I can look after myself J, I was having some fun anyway. And I'm going on another date too with him" I say, he narrows his eyes at me for this,
"No one is good enough for my sister" he says,
"I'll be the judge of that. You never know, you might find someone who may be as crazy as you" I say, but after a few seconds pause we both burst out laughing.
"Enough chit chat, wanna come out to play little sister? There's a vault that I hear is getting shipped out tomorrow morning with blocks of gold" he says, I smile at him at this,
"You needn't ask dear brother" I say, grabbing my guns and equipment,
"Where's your wig?" he asks, I look at him with a smile,
"no more wigs brother, time for Gotham to meet its dark angel" I say, looking forward to showing myself to Gotham properly,
"You'll have a target on your head more sis" he warns, I grin darkly at this,
"Let them try, and even if they did pull the trigger, I'll just re-direct it" I say with a giggle, seeing a grin coming up on him.
"Alright I'll send you a text tonight" he says, I nod and watch as he leaves,
"Well lads, I need a drink, anyone want to join me?" I ask,
"I need to get home, its my turn to cook tonight" Max says, I nod at this, Johnny and me walking down the stairs with him,
"The leg doing better Johnny?" I ask, as we sit down in a booth,
"Still sore and I have to stretch it so that I don't strain it too much" he says, I nod a this taking a sip of my drink that we brought over,
"Any more news from the hospital?" I ask, looking to him curiously,
"Still nothing new, you know it gets to me now and again, I wonder if she will ever wake up" he says, I put my hand on his for comfort,
"She'll wake up Johnny, I'm sure she will. From the stories, you have told me she is strong, she'll be fighting this, and she'll wake up" I say, he smiles at this, patting my hand that is on his own,
"Thank you again for the flowers Angel, I wasn't sure at first who was sending them, but after you told me…it really brightens up the room, I'm sure she would appreciate it" he says, I smile at this, I had wanted to help somehow, and when I went with Johnny to visit her once, I thought the room she was in was a little dull, so I sent some flowers for her room, I do this every week since then to hope that when she does wake up, she'll wake up in a room with at least some colour.
"Hey Angel" I look up at hearing Floyd and smile when I see him stood in front of our booth,
"Hey Floyd, what brings you here?" I ask, scooting slightly to allow Floyd to sit with us which he does,
"Well a couple of reasons, but admittedly one was to see you" he says, I smile at him for this, I'm pretty sure I am blushing but I am not going to cover up because, I actually weirdly feel happy,
"And the other reason is to do with our date" he says, I nod at this, ready for him to continue,
"How would you feel if I brought Zoe with me?" he asks, I look at him slightly surprised, but then smile at the idea,
"That would be fine by me, I'd love to meet her" I say, he sighs with a smile, what did he think I was going to say?
"That's great, she's been wanting to meet you and, I would like for you to meet her too. Especially if we are going to go further with this, I want you to see all my cards laid out so you know what you're getting yourself into" he says, I smile at this,
"I'm glad, I would do the same for you, but trust me when I say you don't want my brother coming along, maybe at another date, I don't want to scare Zoe. You will have already heard the rumours of me of what I do, what I used to do and my little setbacks, as well as my gift" I say, he nods at this,
"When do I get to see that by the way, I saw you stopping those bullets from hitting you and Joker, but I assume you can move stuff as well?" he asks, I nod in answer
"If you think you can put up with that and my other personality you'll be fine" I say grinning widely, he chuckles at this,
"I've already heard about your other side, sounds like a good thing to have when faced with those…not so liked individuals" he says, I laugh at his choice of words, hearing Johnny and Floyd laughing too,
"So Mr. Lawton, how has business been?" asks Johnny,
"Good, I have a few jobs lined up this week" he says, that reminds me!
"Oh, yeah Floyd, someone is interested in getting rid of someone quietly and without mess, can you help?" I ask, with a big questioning look, wide eyed and everything to over-exaggerate, making him smirk which makes me smirk too,
"I'm sure I can fit something in my calendar" he says, I nod a this, bringing my phone out and sending him the information of the client for him to get in touch with her.
