Trouble In Paradise
Chapter 42
Note: Sorry about that everyone. Haven't had access to the net all summer long, but now I'm back. Hurray!
The woman known as Lady Hydra was a notorious assassin and a blade for hire. Many crime lords would hire her for protection against their enemies and others would hire her to wipe out any who get in their way. She would work for them and devote absolute loyalty to them. That is… Till she found one with a much larger pocket book.
Lady Hydra keeps no allies, except for one, but no one really knows who he is, until it's too late.
After Lady Hydra received her phone call from Emma Frost, she analyzed the situation, and realized that she was going to need some help. With Logan and Victor Creed as possible threats to her mission, she could not afford any mistakes, so she called up her only ally and asked him for help.
Meanwhile, back in Hawaii…
Creed and Jubilee had finally made it to the main land. Jubilee was about to snatch Creed's wallet and disappear into the large crown, but he caught her hand before the wallet even left his pocket.
"First we take care of my stuff, then we'll take care of yours." He said.
"Oh, okay." She pouted, folding her arms in front of her chest.
Half of the day was spent going from place to place where Creed had business associates. Him and his associates would stand around and discuss way on how to take care of those that owe them money and what they could do to make a little bit more. Jubilee was not at all impressed by this. She was so bored that she almost took a random roll of duck tape and taped it all over the door that Creed and his associate were standing behind.
She sighed miserably and looked at her doctor, who had accompanied them on Creed's orders. "Must you always follow me around like some lost puppy, doc?"
"I am sorry if my presence annoys you, Mrs. Creed."
"It's Jubilee! For God's sake how many time do I have to tell ya that Creed and I are not married?"
"I do apologize, Miss Lee." He said, making sure to correct himself.
She glared at him, placing her fists on her hips, "No your not. Quit apologizing for something that you're not sorry for."
He gave her a vicious glare, but remained calm, "I do not understand by what you mean, Miss Lee."
"Never mind." She turned her attention back to the door, then muttered so low that he couldn't even hear, "If you can't be honest with me about how you look down upon the life in which we live, then I can't trust you with delivery of my baby. I'll make sure Creed gives you the sack by the end of the day."
By 5p.m. that evening Creed had finally wrapped up his business with all of his associates and grudgingly took Jubilee to the local mall. They went straight to the baby store and picked out a few necessities.
"What exactly will this kid be needin'?" Creed asked in a rather annoyed voice.
"Well… Since we really don't know what sex it'll be… I'd say that we'll just get what's important for right now, like say the crib, a play pin, blankets, bottles, pacifiers, and whatever else we can think of that might be useful."
"Just to let ya know ahead of time, I ain't spoilin' the kid. He's gonna learn that things in life don't come easy."
"Bull shit." She giggled. "Once you see our baby girl and how adorable she is, you'll melt like butter."
"What makes ya think it's gonna be a she?"
"Because my mother told me that when your belly hangs low it'll be a boy and if it hang high, pushing your breast up it'll be a girl. So, nyah." She stuck her tuck out at him, making him do a double take.
"Did you just stick your tongue out at me!"
"Yeah, and I'm doing this too." She tuck her tongue out at him again and gave him the finger, "What you gonna do about it, Vicky-Poo?"
Creed growled furiously, half tempted to rip her to shreds, "Don't push yer luck, Snow Flake, otherwise I might just for get that we have a deal, and I might kill ya myself!"
"Oh, that's brilliant. What about the baby, huh? You going to kill it along with me too?"
"There's always an emergency c-section."
"Yeah, and there's always a chance that it might die, because of pre-mature birth. I'll tell you right now, Creed, if you try to kill me and take my baby away… I'll kill you."
"Same goes for you, frail."
At that they both locked eyes, anger coursing between them. Everyone who was in the store backed away, because right there they saw Jubilee beginning to slightly glow red and they heard Creed emit a very deep and load growl.
