Chapter 5

I'm back! Welcome everybody to chapter 5 of 'All in the Cards'. In the last chapter, we saw Graves and Fate, I am calling Izuku Fate now by the way, plan to rob a house. But, because I feel that it would be too short/lame, I will skip it to write what happened after that. So, with all that said, let's go to the story!

Legend:

"Talking."

'Thinking...'

Chapter 5: The Underground King

"Cheers! For one great night of job!" Graves screamed as he slapped Fate on the back as he took a big swing of his beer mug.

Fate smirked "What ya expected Graves? I planned everything to perfection. The alarms were cut, Giran hacked the cameras somehow, and we got what we wanted. It was a safe gamble."

Graves chuckled loudly "Of course it was! Master mind Fate making his tricks again!" He said before taking another swing of his drink.

Fate shook his head and looked at a watch he won in a game. "I better leave. I don't want to leave Eri alone more time that needed."

"C'mon Twisty! The girl is sleeping safely at home, what could go wrong!?"

"A lot ton of shit Graves. Now, I should- is she looking at me?" Fate interrupted himself as he saw a girl, around his age maybe a little older. This bar was kind of shady so they admit everyone older than 12. But this girl was beautiful.

Long red-hair.

Green, emerald eyes.

White-porcelain skin.

And her revealing white shirt and tight black pants only helped to make Fate interest shoot forward.

Graves looked at the girl from the corner of his eye. "It seems like. Why don't ya go talk to her. She is giving ya the look."

Fate smirked and walked towards the girl and sat in front of her. She only smiled seductively at him. "Hello, may I ask if we met before?"

The girl shook her head "I am afraid not. Why?"

"Because I am sure I saw you in my dreams." Fate flirted and the girl smiled without a trace of a blush.

"How charming of you. My name is Sarah."

"Fate. Twisted Fate, at your service." He said kissing her hand.

Graves chuckled seeing his friend antics with ladies never changing. He took another swing of beer as the night continued.

*Next Morning*

Fate woke up with a hangover stronger than ever. His head feels like it was about to explode. He sat up slowly and scratched his head. He looked around and noticed some few things.

He wasn't in his room.

He was naked.

And he remembered absolutely nothing.

"Oh, you are up already?" He heard a voice and it was the same girl from the bar of yesterday. Now, if he could remember her name...

"Almost. By the way, why are ya wearing my coat and my hat?" He asked to the semi-naked girl that shrugged as she took off the hat and threw it to his head, landing perfectly.

"Feeling chilly. Now c'mon Fate, we need to talk."

Fate nodded as he got off bed and after looking, he found and put on his pants and his shirt.

He walked to the kitchen of the small apartment where he saw the girl, which name he still tried to remember, drinking directly from a bottle of ale. She looked at him from the corner of her eye.

"Want some?"

Fate shook his head "The last thing that I need is more alcohol in my system... Clara?" He asked and the girl rolled her eyes.

"Sarah. And suit yourself Fate. Now, for what we need to talk-"

"Let me stop ya right there, Anna-"

"Sarah."

"Right. Look, whatever that happened last night, which I can guess was something wild and sweaty, was only one-night stand. So, if ya got your hopes of a stable relationship I am sorry to-"

*BANG*

Fate quickly ducked to avoid the gunshot that was being aim to his head. He looked at Sarah that had a pretty annoyed face while holding a smoking gun.

"Can you please shut up? I am not an idiot little girl." She took another swing of ale before looking at Fate. "Look Twisted Fate, I know your reputation, and I need your help for something."

Fate put on his hat as he sat in front of her "In what exactly?"

"Had you ever heard of Gangplank?" Sarah asked and Fate looked to the roof trying to remember.

"Gangplank? I think I heard the boss talk about him once or twice. The villain that's gimmick is to be a pirate, right?"

"That one."

Fate nodded "So, why you need my help? Something with this 'Gangplank' I guess."

Sarah smiled "What a smart boy. You see Fate, I am a bounty hunter. Anyone that got a price on his head, or hire me to get someone, dies. And Gangplank has the biggest bounty at the moment."

Fate raised an eyebrow "And why is he the biggest fish in the pond?"

"Since the fall of a villain called All for One, Gangplank took the paper as king of the underground. He controls everything. Drugs, weapons, mercenaries even human trafficking."

Fate scratched his chin "I see. But, what chances ya got to catch him, or kill him, if not other hero had?" He asked testing the girl that was offering some interesting deal.

Sarah smirked "Because I know how he works. I studied his patterns, his sales points, everything. With my skills and your intelligence, we can catch him and divide the wins."

Fate smirked "And how much will be my part?"

"10%"

Fate nodded as he started to stand up "Well, for more tempting it is for me to get the minimum of the money, I will decline. I am kind of busy so-"

"One call."

Fate raised a brow as he looked at her "Excuse me?"

Sarah smiled at him "You see Fate; you and your buddy Graves, have quite a bounty on your heads. After crossing the Kai family and a couple of villains, it is really, but really, hard for me to not kill you and take you to the Kai mansion. But because I know that we can get along, I am offering you this deal. So, do you accept the terms? Or do we have to call the yakuza?"

Fate glared at the woman in front of him. He sat back on the chair. "Fine Hannah-"

"Sarah."

"Right. Anyway, you win. We will help you to take out the pirate."

Sarah smiled at him "Thanks darling. I knew you would understand."

"Whatever. So, I am guessing ya have a professional name of sorts." Fate said and Sarah smiled.

"Well, when I am working, I go by the name of 'Miss Fortune'." She informed and Fate smirked.

"It is funny. I am known for my good luck and your name can be read as 'bad luck'." Fate said and Sarah smiled.

"What a smart little boy you are."

*Later, Graves and Fate Apartment*

"Ya did what!?" Graves demanded to his friend that held his head.

"Not so loud Graves. I am still with hangover."

"I don't care boy! What made you accept that deal!?"

"Maybe, the fact that she knows who we are, our illegal activities, and it seems that we have bounties on our heads that she would gladly take." Fate explained as Graves lit a cigar.

"So? We can just kill her."

Fate rubbed his eyes "That's not the point. But that's not the only reason I accepted." He said smirking.

"Oh? And what's your master plan this time, Fate?"

"Simple my gypsy friend. This Gangplank has great influence in the underworld. If we are somewhat involved in his death, we will become famous and we will be requested for others projects, if you know what I mean. Besides, we can take some fortune he has stored." Fate explained with a smirk and Graves rolled his eyes.

"Ya seem to forget that he is basically the king of the underworld. If we do anything to cross him, we will have a ton lot of shit storm against us."

"There is were Sarah, or 'Miss Fortune' comes in. She is the one that wants to take the pirate down and I feel there is more reasons besides the money. So, we can let her to take the shit storm and we can take part of the credit once everything is set and done." Fate explained smirking and Garves chuckled.

"Ya are the biggest son of a bitch I know."

Fate tipped his hat down "I'll take it as a compliment Malcolm."

Graves chuckled before turning serious "So, we got bounties on our heads, huh?"

Fate lost his smirk and nodded "It seems like it." He looked to the door of Eri's room with a worried expression.

Graves noticed that "Don't worry boy. Everything will work itself out. From the Gangplank situation, to the bounty thing. Nothing will happen to the girl."

Fate nodded "I hope so."

*?*

"Oh? What's this?" A cheerful voice asked as he looked to the screen of his computer, where the faces of Fate and Graves could be seen.

"The guy with the 19th century beard is wanted death or alive, but it always more fun when they are dead!" He screamed as he started to laugh and turned to the one with Fate. "But this one is wanted alive by the yakuza. Awww. I really wanted to kill the one with the funny hat."

He jumped to his feet as he downloaded their information. "Welp! I hope they don't mind that he will walk twisted when I am done." He joked with himself as he started to laugh maniacally. He walked to a stand to grab two knives and one clown mask that reflected his blue crazed eyes.

"This will be fun."
