Ever was drunk. She climbed up the foot of Exer's prison, a smirk on her face.
"May the bitch never bother the Worlds again!" She shouted, raising the plastic cup up. She got cheers and screams of agreement. People whooped, repeating her words.
She downed her cup of cheap alcohol and climbed down… with a little help.
She watched as Rufus Shinra, who in second grade she called "Dufus Shinra", saunter over, her alcohol fogged mind thinking of many inappropriate things.

"You know you have to confront Shinra, Ev." Temperance stated at breakfast. Ever was inhaling food like she hadn't seen it in years, which was pretty much true.
"As soon as I no longer have a gaping wound in my stomach." Ever said, briefly stopping her assault on the food. She attacked the hotcakes in front of her once again.
Temperance wrenched Ever away from the table and yanked up the "younger" woman's shirt, revealing bandages.
The older woman swiftly unwrapped the bandages as Ever protested, revealing a large stab wound.
"Cure." Skin stitched itself back together. "I got you an appointment to meet him. Its in two hours. If you want to be on time, I'd go now. Things changed."
Ever finished her food and put her plate in the sink. She skipped upstairs to change.
Soon, she found herself debating between a innocent yellow dress or a sexy, but causal, blue dress.
Ever decided on the blue. Much better way to get the slob's attention. She grabbed matching stiletto heels and hurried into the bathroom to change, practically skipping. She wonder if Shinra still looked hot. If not, all the better. He would just have his money, and she would have her youth, beauty, and their son.
She was skipping downstairs when Squall came in. He gave her an odd look.
"I'm going to see a total jerk because your 'sweet' aunt is forcing me to." Ever informed him.
"Why are you wearing that?" He motioned to the skimpy-ish dress she was wear.
"Because I'm forty and can get away with it, 'cause I have the body for it." Was Ever's reply.
Squally looked like he wished she was wearing something else. Understandable. After all, she was his mother and this was the same dress she wore to the party where she slept with the most insufferable man alive, Shinra.
"Temperance, is it still illegal to murder somebody?"
"Yes, and you'll never get past the Turks." Was the reply, sounding from the kitchen.
"He still has those worthless people?" Ever whined, frowning. "They can't do shit. If they can't keep track of Rufus Fucking Shinra, one of the riches and well known people of our time, and keep him from knocking some poor drunk bitch up, lets say me, as an example, then I doubt they can keep him safe." Squall twitched at the "poor drunk bitch" part, piecing things together. That's when Ever realize she let on that he was a drunken mistake/result of a birth-control failure. Oops. So much for that plan.
"Well, little sister," Ever called to Temperance, "I'm off to haunt Shinra." And with that, Ever skipped out of the house and down the road.
"I have an appointment to see Rufus Shinra, the third." Ever told the secretary. She added the last part ("The Third') as an afterthought.
"Name?" The secretary, who looked like her old best friend, trapped in time, asked in a bored voice, not even looking up.
"You tell me," Ever smirked. If she was still twenty, there was a possibility that her friend was, too.
The girl looked up. "I have no clue. What's your name?"
Ever paused. "Ever Leonhart."
The secretary pretty much drooled at the name Leonhart. "Is there a slight possibility you're related to Leon Leonhart, are you?"
"I'm his wife," Ever lied. She did not do incest. She did not need anybody hitting on her taken son. In an odd way, she was helping him out. Hell, Hero was much worse. When guys asked Hero about Ever, or Temperance, she would claim to be their lover. Then she would start to curse the guy out. It was embarrassing at first, then Ever saw how the cowered from Hero with fear and then she found it amusing. At lease she didn't do what Temperance did (Start yelling "Please don't rape her anymore!")
The secretary paused before pressing the button to page Shinra. "President, your ten o'clock appointment is here."
So it was 'President' now… And here Ever thought he would upgrade his title to CEO.
The intercom crackled and Ever could just hear a 'send them in'. Doesn't he even look in his appointment book?
"You may go in, Mrs. Leonhart." Nodding her thanks to the secretary as she walked pass, Ever entered the large office.
She almost laughed when she saw Shinra sitting behind that desk. He didn't even look up. He had lost both his youth and looks. Oh, she was dancing with joy… on the inside.
Ever schooled her features, a cold mask settling on her face.
There where two men in the room in your average Turk uniform. One was a tall, pale, cute redhead with piercing blue eyes in a messy uniform, goggles pushed up to keep his wild hair out of his eyes.
The other was a bald, buff guy, with darker skin then the redhead. His uniform was neat and orderly, unlike his partner's. He wore sunglasses, even though they was inside
"I'm a busy man," Shinra said, without even sparing her a glance, "Whatever you want, make it quick."
"I'm here to talk about our son." She told him, eyes glaring at him.
"Rufus is fine, Martha. I told you that half an hour ago. You really need to stop babying the boy. How is he going to take over the company if you keep doting on him?" Shinra had another son? There was a fourth Rufus Shinra? Minerva help her. One was bad enough.
"I'm not here to talk about… Rufus, Shinra. I'm here to talk about Squall."
Shinra's balding head snapped up so quick, Ever was sure he had whip-lash. Good. He deserved it.
His beady eyes raked Ever's thing, lethal form, making a shutter run up her spine. As he aged, be became a creepy pervert… Like father, like son.
"Your son is not mine, Ms. Leonhart. I believe we discussed before you dropped off the radar."
"Shinra," Ever growled, cause the Turks to tense. "I know who Squall's father is, so don't give me any of that bull."
With that lovely note, Ever stormed out of the room.
