Wow you all really liked this story lol fine make it a three-shot if it gets continued even more depends on feedback.

Also for one of my more loyal fans who are reading more than just this story this chapter actually has my first 100% lemon in it, it probably sucks ass but hey its something and may mean big changes for current and future stories.

Chapter: The Boss and his Girls

-Years Ago: Stilwater-

"Come on." Lin said as the Playa walked behind her. He gave her a curious look as she gestured to her car. "We need to teach you to drive, ASAP. Cause that shit you do? It's fucking horrible." Lin said making him frown slightly as the surrounding Saints whom heard her looked at her in shock. There were many unspoken rules amongst the Saints that would result in one's death if broken. A few for example were…

Never diss Aisha's music near Johnny

Never, ever, fucking ever, touch Lin's car.

And never, under any fucking condition, insult the skills of their oddly silent and youngest member.

The Playa looked on in surprise as she tossed him her beloved car keys.

"Get in." Lin said as she climbed into the passenger seat.

-Hours Later-

"Woohoo! You're doing great!" Lin cheered as she stood up through the sun-roof as the Playa performed an excellently executed drift around a corner before perfectly parallel parking between two trashcans in front of the local park. Sitting back down, Lin gave him a hug a grinned at him. "Now you won't be wasting all that fucking cash on repairs."

"…" The Playa nodded in acknowledgement at her praise before getting out of the car, confusing her before he opened her door and handed her a gun. Lin blinked in confusion as the Playa stared at her knowingly as he crossed his arms.

"You ass! Are you saying I can't shoot?" Lin asked with a small laugh as the Playa gave her a nod. Honestly, ever since he joined the Saints he had been doing ninety-five percent of the killing. He honestly didn't know what the point of working with homies was if they couldn't aim. "Fine…" Lin trailed off with a smirk that made him shudder as she went to her trunk and pulled out a case of beer. "But we're going to have to make our own targets." Lin said with an obvious amusement as she watched him grimace.

Fuck.

If there was one thing everyone in the Saints knew, it was that the Playa hated alcohol. The sheer taste of it was enough to make him vomit some times, but the bravest of the gang members still attempted to make him drink at every opportunity despite his glares warning them not to.

"Be grateful I didn't have my Forty, fucking love that shit." Lin said before tossing him a can. The Playa rolled his eyes as he popped the can while she pulled her own out.

-Minutes Later-

*Bang!*

"Fuck."

*Bang!*

"FUCK!" Lin said as he held her gun side-ways and missed every shot while the Playa looked at her with thinly-veiled amusement. "How the hell do you do this so well, Playa?" Lin asked as she glared at the three offending cans resting on a wooden table. Now do not misunderstand, Lin had one of the better kill counts in the gang…but her targets where much bigger and closer than her current ones. Hearing a chuckle behind her, her eyes widened slightly when the Playa stood behind her and placed his hands over hers, turning the gun upright.

*Bang!*

*Clang!*

Lin looked on incredulously as the first can was shot after the Playa pressed down on her trigger finger.

*Bang!*

*Clang!*

*Bang!*

*Clang*

"Side-ways for bystanders, upright for targets." The Playa said quietly, surprising her greatly that he actually spoke.

"Huh, how about that." Lin said looked at the gun as if some miracle had just been performed. "You know, you should talk more. You have a nice voice, Playa."

"Never speak unless you have something that truly matters to say." The Playa muttered as if he were reciting something. "Anything else is pointless, and a waste of air."

"Now who told you that?"

"…"

Lin frowned when the Playa went back to his silent mode, obviously not wanting to answer the question.

"The thing is, Playa, that thing is kind of relative from person to person. What you might think is pointless may be important to someone else, y'know?" Lin said while noticing how close they actually were. Smirking, Lin pressed her body into his a bit more making him tense. "Personally, I think whatever you have to say is important, Playa. Useless ramblings help remind me that you're human with actual emotions. We all know you have anger…" Lin trailed off before turning her head back to glance up at him. "…but what about lust?" Lin asked as she looked up at his impassive face.

Never before had the Playa been so grateful for his darker complexion, knowing full well he would be blushing right now as he did his best to stop his blood flow from going south where her rear was still pressed firmly against him.

"You're blushing aren't you?" Lin asked though she knew he wouldn't answer. "That's just not fair, some of us had to actually work at hiding our emotions." Lin said with a chuckle before a mischievious glint lit her eye as she grinded on him for a bit. "There we go." Lin said as he turned away from her. "Your gun is in my hand, so what the hell is poking me?" Lin asked teasingly.

"…" The Playa's eyes widened slightly when she turned his head around and pressed her lips to his. Before he could react, she deepened the kiss and invaded his mouth making him stumble back and fall to the ground with her on top of him. Breaking the kiss, Lin look down at him with eyes filled with lust as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a condom.

"Allow me to teach about another type of riding." Lin said making the Playa look at her incredulously.

-A little Later-

"Well…that sucked." Lin said bluntly making him look away in embarrassment before she chuckled and turned his face back to her, her eyes still as lust filled as before. "Now, that's a good thing. It means we get to practice, because believe me you will get this right so help me God. Now let's head back to my place, I think we gave a few people a show." Lin said with a laugh as she put her clothes back on.

-Weeks Later: Aisha's House-

BGM: Bounce Like My Checks- Aisha

"You know we're supposed to wait until after the album goes platinum to throw a party right?" Aisha asked Johnny with a small smile making him laugh as he wrapped an arm around her.

"Come on babe, we both know it will!" Johnny said with a grin before they turned to watch all of the Saints have the time of their lives…well all of the Saints besides one.

"Look at my lil' bro, he looks so alone." Aisha said with a frown as she saw the Playa leaning against a nearby wall, looking out of the window as if he were looking for threats with a scowl on his face. Of course Johnny knew the Playa and Aisha weren't actually siblings but that didn't stop Aisha from taking to the youngest Saint as if they really were.

"Yeah but what can you expect? He shouldn't even be out on the streets until next year." Johnny said with a sigh before smirking. "Doesn't matter, trust me Aisha the Playa can handle himself. Haven't seen a Saint like him since, well, me."

"But he shouldn't have to, no one should have to be sucked into this life just because they were trying to get some medicine for their mom." Aisha said with a frown. "Who the hell raised him anyway? He has like no people skills to the point everyone thinks he's mute. Yet, somehow, he can kill dozens easily without remorse-was someone trying to make a sociopath?"

"Who the hell knows?" Johnny said with a shrug. "Whoever raised him, I want to shake their hand!"

"Johnny!?" Aisha said looking scandalized.

"Wait let me explain. Do I feel for him? Yeah, but he's saved my life countless times thanks to whoever the hell taught him how to shoot." Johnny explained calming her down as she saw his point. "Why so concerned about who raised him anyway?"

"He just…reminds me of someone I ran into once… that's all." Aisha said as she repressed a shudder making him look at her in concern but before he could say anything he watched her eyes narrow slightly. "What's that bitch up to?"

"What?" Johnny questioned before turning around to watch Lin approach the player with two shot glasses. "Ah, that. Yeah don't know what to say about that, she and the Playa have been hittin it off. Not sure if they're just fucking or what."

"He's a minor!"

"Meh, age of consent-sides he might be dead tomorrow anyway not to mention the fact that neither of them give a damn about laws. I say let the Playa play." Johnny said with a smirk before bringing Aisha closer to him. "Look it's a party, so let's relax and have some fun. I promised you I'd watch out for him and I will!"

"What about Lin?"

"She knows better than to mess with him too bad." Johnny said before frowning as his eyes narrowed behind his glasses. "You ain't the only one fond of the kid." Johnny said making her smile at him.

"Shit!" The Playa exclaimed suddenly as he coughed and held his burning throat while Lin laughed at him.

"Not bad for your first drink huh, Playa?" Lin teased while the other Saints just gaped at that youngest member.

"Holy shit, he can talk!?" Johnny heard one of them ask incredulously making him laugh.

"So what's the verdict?" Lin questioned as he picked up the glass and smirked at her.

"I'll take some more."

"That's the spirit." Lin said as she poured her drink into her mouth before claiming his lips with her own, passing the liquid to him in the process while the gathered saints whistled and cheered.

"See? She even got him to stop sulking. It's all kinds of fucked up, but let them have their fun." Johnny stated and Aisha had to admit, Lin did have a way of getting the Playa to loosen up. That, however, is what worried her. Lin's main purpose in the Saints was to manipulate people, particularly men, Johnny and Julius seemed to be the only ones who could resist her.

"Sulking?" Aisha asked as she quirked an eyebrow making him laugh.

"Yeah, beat his ass badly in a spar today. I told him not to take it so hard, he's young and I'm-well-me." Johnny stated. "One day he might be able to take me on, but that's years upon years from now. Like when I'm old and in a wheel chair."

"So modest." Aisha said with an eye-roll though he could see her amusement. Deciding to calm down and enjoy the night. Aisha let the Playa have his fun. As long as Johnny had his back, nothing would happen to the young Saint.

BGM: END

What Lin and the Playa had did eventually grow into something more, but it was far from perfect. Johnny was positive that it was possibly the most toxic affair he had ever witnessed. Their love was volatile and chaotic. The two constantly hurt each other deeply. Lin did so when she continued her mission with Donnie and the Playa did so when he constantly took on missions so suicidal that even Johnny began wondering about his mental stability.

Yet no one intervened.

Because, deep down. Beneath all of the madness and pain, was a bond so strong it almost reminded Johnny of his and Aisha's relationship. Johnny knew that once the gang war ended, the two would be able to build something great especially after Lin confided into him about her pregnancy.

But then, the Playa's birthday came and Lin died.

That's when everything changed.

-Cemetery-

The day of Lin's funeral was a sad one. There was barely a dry eye amongst the gathered Saints. Eventually the sermon ended and all that was left was the Playa, Johnny, and Aisha. Eventually even Aisha went home as Johnny and The Playa stood at the grave.

"You haven't shed a single tear." Johnny pointed out making the Playa glance back at him, nothing but steel in his gaze.

"I'm out of tears."

"So now what?" Johnny questioned making the Playa chuckle as he turned around fully before brushing past the older man.

"They die."

"Who?"

"Everyone." The Playa said as he gritted his teeth making Johnny shake his head. Johnny was the las tone to object to senseless violence and suicidal actions, but that was only when those undertaking them actively chose to and weren't being run by their emotions. Emotions made one sloppy and ineffective when fighting, and Johnny knew the Playa had to be at his best if he wanted to succeed.

"I can't let you attempt that." Johnny said making the Playa look at him in shock before he glared viciously at his closest friend. "You know I got your back, always. Which is why I can't let you go on a suicidal rampage cause of this! We don't need a second funeral! You've gotten stronger but you can't take on three gangs by yourself with rage alone, not even I can do that!" Johnny said as he stepped in front of the Playa.

"Johnny. You've always been there for me, so I am going to say this once." The Playa said as he clenched his fists. "Get. The fuck. Out of my way."

"No." Johnny said with a frown, he hated arguing with the Playa but it was for his own good.

"Fuck you say?"

-30 minutes later-

No.

Way.

This was the bloodied and battered Johnny's thoughts as he lay on his back, looking up at a slightly disheveled Playa through broken sunglasses. He had actually lost. Somehow, some way, the Playa kicked his ass to the point that he couldn't even get up on his own. It was at that moment, looking up at the passive Playa, that Johnny understood.

He understood why the Playa could seem to survive anything.

Why he was easily able to do what needed to be done.

Why Julius had begun to seem wary around him.

"He's not just some Playa." Johnny thought incredulously. He wasn't sure if it was his possible concussion or not but he thought he actually saw Julius and Benjamin King's images behind the young man on his left and right respectively. His eyes widened even more when he pictured a silhouette of a woman he'd only seen once before in passing directly behind the Playa. "He's a Boss in the making."

At that moment, Johnny knew he'd follow the younger man until he drew his final breath.

Still he shuddered as he thought of that woman and finally understood Aisha's concern all those months ago.

"Playa." Johnny said making the Playa narrow his eyes slightly, as if preparing for round two. "Does the nickname 'Vice Queen' mean a thing to you?" The Playa tensed at the question before extending his hand.

"Come on Johnny, time to make these streets ours." The Playa said as he avoided the question. That was all Johnny needed to get answer. Chuckling, Johnny got up with the Playa's help and discussed how they were going to bring down the gangs.

-Years later: Stilwater-

The Boss was on a warpath upon his awakening and taking Stilwater by storm, but if he wanted to get further he'd need to get his three lieutenants. His figured three would be a good number as one of them were probably going to die before everything was said and done but he'd still do his best to make sure that didn't happen. Pulling up into a garage, he glanced to the side to see a woman approaching his car.

BGM: How U Remind Me- Usher

"Hey, I'm Shaundi, whaddya say you show me what you can do in this thing?" Shaundi asked as she leaned into the window with a smile which made his chest tighten ever so slightly when he pictured an identical smile on Lin's face for a split second.

"Heh, get in and buckle up shawty. This is going to get intense." The Boss said as Shaundi grinned and climbed into the car.

"You a good driver?"

"Was taught by the best." The Boss said with a smirk before placing a pair of sunglasses on his face. The pure enjoyment on her face when he made each of the jumps was enough to make him forget about the impending gang war and just live in the moment.

"When you finish getting everyone together, let me know. I'd love to roll with you guys!" Shaundi said as the Boss landed his car on top of a highway after the last jump. "That shit was crazy. Who taught you to drive like that?"

"One of my old homies in the Saints." The Boss said with a small smile as he thought of Lin.

"Really? Can't wait to meet them they must be fun to hang out with."

"Yeah, well believe me you don't want to be meeting her anytime soon, shawty." The Boss said nonchalantly confusing Shaundi before it sunk in what he meant by that when she saw his slightly somber expression. "This isn't the safest life, girl, I'm warning you now. If I ever have to pick between you and ending a mission quickly-it's gonna be the latter. Still wanna roll with us?"

"Shit, I can handle myself." Shaundi said with a smirk as she stepped out of the car making him chuckle.

"You got heart shawty, hope you're right." The Boss said as he drove off.

-Later-

"Boss!" Shaundi called out as she chased after the Boss after her freed her from Veteran Child. "Boss, I'm sorry!"

"For what?" The Boss questioned as he glanced back at Shaundi.

"Uh, for getting caught up like that?" Shaundi said as if it were obvious but frowned when he just shrugged it off.

"It's cool. Shit happens." The Boss said simply.

"No it's not, cool. If I was Pierce or Carlos, rest his soul, you'd be tearing me a new one but you always do this, you're always like this…treating me different as if you need to hold my hand." Shaundi said as her eyes began to glisten with frustrated tears. "Is it because you think I'm weak? Not cut out for this life?"

Now the Boss faced a dilemma.

He could tell her to truth and dig up shit from his past he wasn't sure he was ready to face. Move forward, was his way of life. No matter what shit happens keep moving forward and ignore the past, that's what she taught him since he was a toddler. He could tell her how she reminded him of someone he cared for. That she gave this hellish lifestyle of his some sort of silver lining for the first time in years.

But deep down he feared what this route would cause. He feared what letting her in would do and he would damned if he went through that shit again. No it was better for both of them if he let her believe what she wanted to.

"Think what you want to, if the fucking shoe fits-lace that bitch up and wear it." The Boss said coldly, shocking her as he kept walking forward. "We determine who we are in this life, if you're tired of being saved-do something about it."

He just hoped that was the right thing to say.

-One Year Later-

"You fucked up." Johnny said as he and the Boss sat back in Purgatory as the Saints partied. "She used to be fun to hang out with."

"Not my fucking problem. She's giving out better results, so why should I give a damn?" The Boss questioned boredly as they watched a heated Shaundi chew out Pierce after his wild flailing that the caused dancing broke her hair band. "What? You trying to hit it?"

"Me? Nah she's like a little sis to me. You don't fuck family…strippers maybe. Sides, Aisha was the only one for me." Johnny said simply. "You on the other hand shouldn't let the past keep weighing you down."

"Not this shit again…"

"Now Boss, hear me out-"

"Pot or Kettle, Johnny? Maybe like you I just got one shot at this kind of thing." The Boss said simply making Johnny shake his head in frustration as he finished eating his Chinese food and cleaned off the chopsticks.

"If you can say that after you come terms with her death I'll take you seriously. But you need to stop running from what happened back then, you can't let this ghost keep controlling your life."

"Oh up yours, ain't nothing controlling this nigga's life but me." The Boss stated firmly making Johnny look at him skeptically.

"Oh really?" Johnny asked before standing up and walking to the female lieutenant. "Hey Shaundi! Calm down, let me teach you a trick." Johnny said making the Boss frown in confusion when Shaundi turned her attention to Johnny.

"You son of a bitch…" The Boss whispered to himself incredulously as his eyes widened behind his sunglasses after he watched Johnny use his chopsticks to tie up Shaundi's hair.

"Ha, whaddya think Boss?" Johnny questioned as he and Shaundi turned to the Boss only to find him halfway out of the stronghold, flipping Johnny off as he exited making Pierce and Shaundi look at each other in confusion while Johnny just shook his head.

"What the hell did I do to him?" Shaundi asked herself so quietly that Johnny almost couldn't hear it. Johnny sighed as he heard the anger and sadness in her voice from her no doubt thinking that she had earned the Boss' resentment. It had been like that for a year and seemed as though it would continue for the years to come. Whenever the Boss spent too much time with Shaundi, he'd think of Lin and like always he'd move forward to escape which often led to him leaving the room whenever Shaundi entered.

Still no matter how much he drank, fucked, or smoked, Johnny knew that the past would catch up to the Boss whether he liked it or not. Little did Johnny know, he succeeded in giving the Boss his much needed wake up call. From that Sunday and every Sunday onwards, the Boss would spend his time working on dealing with his past.

BGM: END

-Steelport: Present-

Sunday.

Shaundi hated Sunday.

She hated the day with a passion. She hadn't noticed before she started dating the Boss but as it turns out the Boss had a habit of disappearing every Sunday. Now normally this wouldn't bother her so much since the Boss was a grown man and could do whatever he wanted with his time. The problem for Shaundi, however, was that it was beginning to affect their relationship. Ever since they got together they either had mind-blowing sex or were surrounded by other Saints. They had yet to spend any actual romantic time together and while it was okay at first, for the first time Shaundi wanted something other than a physical relationship.

Now why did Sunday bother her?

It bothered her because every other day of the week he was extremely busy especially now that Steelport had fallen under his control. However Sunday was a day he always took off, especially now that things were settling down once again. Sunday was the only day they actually would have had a chance to get closer but he was never there and it was beginning to irritate her whether she was sober or not. She really needed them to get closer now that he had spontaneously decided to adopt Killbane's daughter.

Ah yes the "Playa" as the Boss had called their adopted daughter. This was the first plan she had she seen of the Boss' that had backfired so beautifully. He had planned to shape her into his heir just to spite Killbane and while he still intended on doing so he found himself being attached to the little girl and vice-versa. Like the Boss, she too had become fond of her daughter and stopped taking any of the hard drugs so she could look after her properly. When she had done this she had surprised them all by not becoming the "total frigid bitch Shaundi" again.

Shaundi assumed this was because the little girl had an effect on her, Killbane wasn't the closest father and her being three made it extremely easy for them to step in. She had only asked about Killbane once and the Boss, much to her surprise, told her the truth. The girl didn't seem to mind at all or was perhaps too young to understand the situation. Still back to the situation at hand, the three of them were in sore need of some time alone and preferably a place to live that wasn't the Saint's HQ.

"So just ask him if you and the little Playa can tag along before he leaves today." Tera deadpanned as she sat in her office chair and stared at Shaundi whom was lying on her couch. Seriously she was not this type of doctor.

"You think it will be that easy?" Shaundi asked curiously making Tera shrug.

"Might as well try. Worst case scenario he says no." Tera stated simply as her superior sat up. He could also snap seeing as he was a total sociopath in her eyes but she felt it wasn't needed to disclose that information.

Doctor of the year.

"You're right." Shaundi said as she got up. "I'll do that, who knows maybe I'll learn something new about him." Shaundi said making Tera snort. Shaundi smiled slightly at that, she knew the Boss was as two-dimensional as it got. He was what you saw, he hid nothing.

She would later laugh at her naivety.

"Thanks for the help, doc." Shaundi said with a wink making Tera roll her eyes and gesture for her to leave her office. Shaundi left and began her search for the Boss, it didn't take her long before she found him in the middle of the penthouse with the other Saints looking at Pierce with expressions of disgust.

"Doo…doo do dooo doooo, yeah~" Peirce sang as a melody played.

"Stop, stop, just stop. What the fuck did I say about you and R&B? You can't fucking sing, rap maybe, but sing? Hell no!" The Boss snapped as Kinzie stopped recording the video. "How dare you do that to Ne-Yo!?" The Boss shouted as if the affront to music hurt him on a personal level.

"Well excuse me! That was lyrical genius!" Pierce said making the Boss look at him incredulously.

"What part nigga!? You forgot the fucking words!" The Boss said before rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Not good Boss, we only have a few minutes left, Pierce promised our fans a cover of this song by one of our members today. If we don't deliver that or at least come up with a viral video, we're gonna lose some ratings." Kinzie said as she typed away on her computer with a frown.

"Goddamn I hate you." The Boss muttered as continued to glare at Pierce.

"Well let's see you do better, Mr. Pimp." Pierce said as he tossed the mic to the Boss whom caught it with a quirked eyebrow.

"Do you really want me to shit on your entire music career right now?" The Boss asked skeptically making Pierce cross his arms.

"By all means, you be hatin' every time I sing this song, let's see you sing it better." Pierce stated making the Boss roll his eyes before turning to Kinzie and nodding.

"Restart the music." The Boss said making Kinzie look at him with a frown.

"You sure, only got time for one take."

"Fuck I just say?"

"Fine, starting in three...two...one…go." Kinzie muttered as she started recording.

BGM: So Sick-Ne-Yo

"Mmmm mmm yeah
Do do do do do do do-do
Ohh Yeah

Pierce's eyes widened incredulously as he heard the Boss start much better than he had.

"Gotta change my answering machine
Now that I'm alone
Cause right now it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
Cause you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore
(it's ridiculous)
It's been months
And for some reason I just
(can't get over us)
And I'm stronger than this
(enough is enough)
No more walking round
With my head down
I'm so over being blue
Crying over you

And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Gotta fix that calendar I have
That's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And your memory
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be

That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs)
Don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
I'm letting go
Turning off the radio

Cause I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
(why can't I turn off the radio?)

Said I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
(why can't I turn off the radio?)

And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishin' you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
Why can't I turn off the radio?
(why can't I turn off the radio?)
Why can't I turn off the radio?

BGM: END

"Done. I killed that shit, did you get that Kinzie?" The Boss asked after he finished and turned to face a gaping red-head. Snapping out of her stupor, Kinzie nodded her head and typed away on her computer as the Boss tossed the mic back to Pierce.

"What the fuck was that!?" Pierce questioned making the Boss quirk an eyebrow.

"A Song. Newsflash, R&B songs require emotion and actual experience with the subject matter to be good. Your hands and a blow up doll don't count as romance." The Boss deadpanned. Now that that crisis was taken care of, the Boss turned to the rest of the Saints and began to give out his daily orders.

"Hey Boss." Shaundi said after getting over her shock and approaching the Boss. She was a little confused by what he meant when he said experience was needed but figured she could ask him about that at a later time.

"Sup Shaundi, just in time I need you to-"

"Um…" Shaundi interrupted nervously making him raise an eyebrow. "I needed to ask you something."

"Well shit, spit it out then you look as though I'm going to shoot you or something." The Boss chuckled before his face suddenly went serious. "You didn't do anything that would require me to shoot you though did you-"

"No, no, of course not." Shaundi said quickly making him cross his arms as he waited for her question. "I was wondering if I and the Playa could tag along with you today?" Whatever the Boss was expecting it wasn't that. The nearby saints tensed immediately, it was an unspoken rule to never question where the Boss went Sundays and here Shaundi was requesting to tag along?

Their respect for her went up tremendously at this, they would tell tales of her bravery after her funeral.

The Boss stared at her for a while, like really stared as if he were evaluating the worth of her entire existence. His eyes narrowed after a while making her gulp nervously as she inwardly cursed Tera, especially when she could hear the medic's door slam shut and lock up. Finally his expression softened greatly and he nodded once to himself.

"Sure and dress nice" The Boss finally said making her release a long breath as the Saints turned to her with looks of complete and utter awe.

The legends of Shaundi would be magnificent one day.

"I'm a little behind schedule but grab the little Playa and change real fast we gotta bounce." Shaundi nodded and the Boss finished giving his orders and left the room.

-Stilwater-

"So where are we headed Boss?" Shaundi questioned curiously as they rode through the city. She had decided to put on a silk dark-purple blouse and a simple black business skirt along with a pair of black heels.

"Church." The Boss answered making Shaundi blink and look at him in surprise.

"What's church Daddy?" The Playa questioned as she sat in the back seat. She was a little girl with brown hair and green eyes. She had lightly tanned skin and was wearing a purple dress. If one didn't know any better they really would assume that the three were a family.

"A place where good and bad people go to attempt to find peace." The Boss answered the girl making her tilt her head curiously as the Boss parked his car in front of a church. The Boss got out of the car along with Shaundi whom helped the Playa get out and picked her up. "Surprised?"

"Never figured you of all people for a church-goer." Shaundi drawled making him smirk.

"There's a lot you don't know about me." The Boss said with a smirk before shrugging. "But you'll find out today, besides I didn't come here today for myself so you aren't completely wrong." The Boss said before glancing at his watch. "Were a couple minutes late but no problem we just got to hurry in before she kills me." The Boss muttered as they entered the building.

"Before who kills you?" Shaundi questioned curiously making him glance back at her.

"You'll find out soon enough." The Boss said as they walked in to see that the reverend was in the middle of a sermon. The man stopped and smiled at the Boss who waved back at him.

"Ah Brother! You have decided to join us!" The Reverend said with a smile as they walked down a few rows.

"Sorry, sorry, life caught up with me for a moment." The Boss drawled and Shaundi looked around slightly surprised by the looks of awe she and her daughter were recieveing.

"And who might these lovely ladies be? And will they become a permanent part of the community?" The Reverend questioned.

"These are my girls, Rev. Whether or not this is a one-time thing needs to be seen. Hell, I'm not even a part of the community." The Boss answered making the man nod with a smile as they sat down. The Reverend continued his sermon as the Boss glanced to the side to see an older woman flipping through a bible. She had long black hair and brown skin. She had dark brown eyes and was wearing a simple-black dress.

"You're late, boy." The woman whispered without even glancing at him. This of course made Shaundi look at her in surprise as the Boss always demanded respect in every way. You looked at him when he spoke to you-that was another unspoken rule.

"Sorry, sorry, as you can tell I had to bring some important people with me." The Boss whispered back as she flipped a page.

"Mhmm." The woman said as she closed the book and turned to Shaundi with a small smile and extended her hand. "Angela."

"Shaundi." Shaundi whispered as she shook her hand, the woman was both beautiful and kind but she had some sort of power radiating from her that demanded respect.

Her grip was strong as hell too.

Angela nodded before leaning back at her seat and finally glancing at the Boss.

"A white girl?"

"Hey don't start-you're the one who told me pussy was pussy." The Boss muttered making the woman slap him upside his head.

"Watch your mouth boy." Angela muttered as she rolled her eyes. "Hopefully you don't get this one killed as well."

"Hopefully." The Boss muttered as he turned back to the sermon. Shaundi looked at the exchange in morbid fascination. This woman did and said things that would have gotten anyone else killed. She didn't know who the woman was referring to but accusing the Boss of getting anyone killed especially this soon after Gat's death would be an automatic death sentence.

"Now rise my brothers and sisters and join us in this song!" The Reverend said making them stand up as he and the chorus began to sing.

-Later-

"And that concludes today's service my brothers and sisters." The Reverend said after a particularly emotional service that even caught Shaundi's attention. They stood up and began to leave when the Reverend approached them. "My brother when will you put down those flags and finally join us with his holiness."

"Save your breath, this boy is too stubborn." Angela muttered making the Boss nod.

"Ms. King you should not hold this boy's actions against him. For as far as he falls into the darkness, there is a light which he cannot shake. The road to hell is paved with good intentions but if you ask me my sister, the inverse can be true as well." The Reverend said passionately. "Look at our community it is the best it's been in decades thanks to this boy's sins. It's time for him to stop and get forgiveness."

"There is no forgiveness for what I've done Reverend. And she's right, I'm too stubborn to drop my flags I still have ambitions, bettering the community was a side-effect not an intention." The Boss muttered as he walked away.

"You can lie to me, those who care about you, and even to yourself…but God knows the truth. Remember that." The Reverend called out making Angela shake her head as the Boss ignored him completely. The Reverend turned to Shaundi and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Sister, look out for that boy- for some reason he's brought you here, he's let you in. Only you can save him from his demons."

"I've probably strengthened his demons if anything." Shaundi said seriously slightly surprised by how much this man was trying to 'help' the Boss. The Reverend shook his head.

"Even if he doesn't come to the light, protect him in the darkness." The Reverend said as he walked away. "And do go easy on the boy Ms. King, you've always been strict with him."

"Strict?" Angela repeated in disbelief as she watched him leave. "I got him ready for the real world." Angela muttered. "It's the only reason he's still standing." Angela said as she followed after the Boss with Shaundi and the Playa.

To say Shaundi was confused was an understatement. It was obvious that this woman and the Boss went far back but exactly how far? The answer was on the tip of her tongue before some reason her mind couldn't make the connection.

"Boy, when's the last time you ate?" Angela questioned the Boss who was about to get into his car.

"Like, yesterday afternoon why?" The Boss questioned curiously.

"Y'all coming over to eat, you look like you going to keel over." Angela stated as she walked to her car, which Shaundi could see was parked next to theirs. The Boss snorted and shook his head.

"Can't too busy-"

"Fuck you say!?" Angela snapped making the Boss flinch back slightly. Shaundi almost dropped her daughter as she felt her jaw go slack as she finally figured out the connection.

"We could use a bite to eat." The Boss stated as he regained his composure.

Holy shit.

No way.

"B-Boss…" Shaundi trailed of in a mix of surprise, awe, and a bit of fear as she pointed at Angela. "I-is she your mother?"

The Boss released a sigh as he closed his eyes.

"Yup."

"Kid's been a pain in my ass ever since he was born." Angela muttered making the Boss roll his eyes. Now that she got a good look at them, they did favor each other.

"Wow…" Shaundi muttered to herself at least she now found a valid reason for the Boss to take so much of the woman's crap. The Boss got into his car as she made sure her daughter was situated securely, but before she too climbed in she could see Angela giving the Boss a sad smile before quickly schooling her expression so fast that Shaundi almost thought she imagined it.

"Let's go looks like we're grabbing something to eat." The Boss said getting her attention. Shaundi nodded as she climbed into the car. As they drove off Shaundi turned to her Boss.

"You know I'm surprised you of all people let her talk to you like that." Shaundi spoke up making him sigh.

"Hey it's my momma, shit I deserve it for the shit I put her through. Sides I was raised in Stilwater, her word was law for most of my life." The Boss said and at Shaundi's confused expression he elaborated. "Shit, that's right you didn't come to Stilwater until a little before I recruited you."

"What's that have to do with anything?" Shaundi asked in confusion making him chuckle.

"Shaundi what was the one similarity between Stilwater and Steelport?" The Boss questioned and when she couldn't answer he explained. "You don't see any children. Some cities like those two have laws in place the prohibit minors from going outside due to the excessive gang violence."

"Wait, that's why there I've never seen any kids in Stilwater or Steelport?" Shaundi asked incredulously. The lack of children was something she noticed a while ago but never figured out the reason.

"Yup, it was to prevent gangs from getting even stronger by recruiting minors and it was to keep minors safe." The Boss stated making her frown.

"Where the hell were the kids then?" Shaundi questioned in confusion.

"At home. It was the parent's job to homeschool the kids and teach them everything they knew. After they turned eighteen they could leave, take a few tests for a high-school diploma, and even head off to college if they wanted to."

"But that's so wrong." Shaundi muttered and she knew that was ironic coming from a high-ranking gang member. She shuddered to think what it would be like to live in isolation, even now she could still remember playing at a park with her friends when she was younger. "Was this city really that bad?"

"Yeah it was, going to the corner store was a suicide mission. That woman is the strongest person I know." The Boss said as he gestured to Angela who was driving in front of them. "She taught me how to fight, how to hold a gun, street knowledge along with book knowledge. I actually heard the law was lifted when I was in a coma only to be put back when the Ronin, Sons of Samedi, and Brotherhood came to town."

"So it was literally just you and her for eighteen years!?" Shaundi said in shock, she wanted to ask about his father but didn't want to pry. From what she was beginning to piece together he was probably dead or left them either way it didn't sound as if he was there.

"Almost, I was sixteen-nearly seventeen- when she had gotten the flu and was really sick. She was the only source of income we had so she tried to force herself to go out and make money, but it was killing her." The Boss said as his eyes narrowed. "I decided then that I could at least run to the store to pick up some medicine…I only made it down the block before the Carnales rolled up. The Saints saved my life and the rest is history. She thinks her being weak and getting the flu cost her a son, that's why our relationship is so shaky."

"I get that they saved your life but why did you join? Not that I'm not glad you did or anything." Shaundi questioned in concern making him frown slightly.

"Two reasons. Like I said the Saints aren't heroes anymore but once upon a time we were. We existed solely to stop other gangs and bring peace to Stilwater. I joined so I could do the right thing, so that kids could be kids and go outside for once." The Boss said seriously, suprising her slightly as she saw a small amount of passion burning in his eyes.

"What the hell changed?" Shaundi wanted to scream but knew better. Something big must have turned the Boss into what he was today.

"The second reason is I finally had a chance to find someone, and that's all I'm going to say on that matter." The Boss drawled as they parked in front of a house. It was a simple small house, nothing big and expensive like she was expecting. She had thought the Boss would have given his mother money or something.

"She doesn't want Saints money. She has a real dislike of the Saints, not gangs, but the Saints in particular." The Boss said as if he could read her mind. "I put a few million in an account for her but she refuses to touch it, stubborn ass woman." The man muttered as he got out of the car. Shaundi took a moment to regain her bearings she had been joking about finding something new out about the Boss but ended up doing just that. She was beginning to look past the fearsome man that the world knew and she could see another side slowly being revealed to her.

After waking her daughter up, she had fallen asleep during the drive, she followed the Boss and Angela into the simple looking house.

"So this is where he spent most of his life." It wasn't a terrible house but she knew she would have gone insane from boredom if she couldn't leave a house like this for years on end. Her inner and outer party girl would have committed suicide after a week.

"Boy clean the dishes, I'm going to get changed." Angela ordered making the Boss nod his head.

"On it."

"Daddy!" The Playa called out and stretched her hands towards him, wanting him to hold her.

"Hmm? What's up Playa wanna spend time with your pops?" The Boss laughed making her nod with a smile. Shaundi shook her head with a chuckle and handed the girl over to him. It was times like this that she could get a chance to see a genuine smile from the man rather than a vicious grin or a lecherous smirk.

"Angela, where is your bathroom?" Shaundi questioned as she turned to the woman whom seemed to have just snapped from some sort of daze.

"Down the hall to your left, honey." Angela said with a smile as she went off to get changed.

-A few minutes later-

After drying off her hands, Shaundi left the bathroom and was headed towards the kitchen when something caught her eye. Glancing to the side she could see the door to a room cracked open and against her better judgment she decided to check it out, figuring she might not have a chance to learn more about her Boss' past.

Entering the room she saw a weight set, a few comic books laying on the ground, and a simple bed.

"Curiosity got the better of you huh child?" A voice questioned making her jump slightly as she spun around to see an amused Angela. She was now wearing a simple black tank top and a pair of blue jeans. "I figured that boy would keep to himself, if you're that curious I can show you but first tell me exactly what is your relationship with him and who is that little girl?"

"I'm his girlfriend." Shaundi answered honestly though slightly intimidated by her calculating gaze. "And I'm also a lieutenant and second in command of the Third Street Saints."

"What happened to Johnny?" Angela questioned curiously.

"Dead." Was all Shaundi could say making her nod.

"Shame, I liked Johnny." Angela drawled before sighing. "It really is just him left from the original Saints then. Now who's the girl?

"Our daughter." Shaundi answered making the woman snort.

"The coloring is right but the features aren't all there honey and I know he wouldn't risk his bloodline again, now try again." Angela said with a chuckle.

"Adopted daughter." Shaundi amended making the woman nod. "We took her in after a conflict with her real father, and now we're raising her to takeover one day. Not going to lie though she grew on us far quicker than I imagined…especially when concerning him."

"I'm not that surprised." Angela said and at Shaundi's confused expression she gestured for the younger woman to follow her. They went down the hall and entered, what she assumed was, Angela's bedroom. It was filled with books and a bed. There was a single book on the bed that instantly grabbed Shaundi's attention.

Regicide by Benjamin King

King…

King…

*Flash back*

"Ms. King you should not hold this boy's actions against him."

*Flashback: End*

"No way…" Shaundi whispered in morbid fascination making Angela blink as she looked at where Shaundi was staring.

"Ah made that connection did you?" Angela chuckled as she sat on the bed and gestured for Shaundi to sit next her. She opened the book, and Shaundi could see an old photo that was being used as a bookmark. The photograph depicted a much younger Angela standing between two men with a grin. The man to her right could be recognized as a much younger Benjamin King and the man to the left looked vaguely familiar to Shaundi. He was a black man slightly shorter than King and had his arm wrapped around Angela's waist.

"You're related to Benjamin King?" Shaundi questioned in shock mainly because that meant so was the Boss by extension.

"He's my older brother if you want to be exact." Angela smiled fondly as she looked at the photo. "This was when we had first created the Vice Kings so that the city could be safe for children, back before my idiot brother lost his head thanks to the power. We were so young back then, kids with dreams that were ignorant to the cruelty of this world."

(LIAG Fun Fact: Angela King is NOT an OC, Benjamin actually has a younger sister named Angela whom was present during the creation of the Vice Kings with Julius. Her fate is unknown in canon.)

"You were a Vice King…"

"Lieutenant much like you, took over myself from time to time-hell some of the grunts had the nerve to even call me 'Vice Queen'." Angela chuckled. "I took over the spot for a while when Jules left and like an idiotic girl I eventually left as well to follow my heart." Angela said the last part with a sneer as she glared at the photograph. "I was very good at what I did, too good to be honest, Jules feared my ruthlessness and eventually we split but not before he ended up leaving me with a small surprise later." Angela muttered as she unconsciously placed a hand on her abdomen.

Jules

Why did that name bug her so much?

Why was it beginning to make her feel sick to her stomach?

She knew the man in the picture, even if indirectly, but she couldn't remember from where but it was obvious at this point that the man was her Boss' father.

"Jules was a bitch and Ben was mad with power, their friendship all but evaporated when Jules began to move against him with his newly founded gang, the Saints." Angela muttered. "Can you believe he came back to me years after my pregnancy to get me to join? He wanted to use my ruthlessness on my own brother, he wanted to make me a weapon for the greater good. I kicked his ass and let him remain ignorant to his progeny out of pure spite. He fucked with the wrong woman." Angela laughed as Shaundi covered her mouth in horror.

Shaundi had done a lot of killing in her time.

But what this woman revealed even made her blood go chill, she was sure her skin had paled as she turned to Angela with wide-eyes and slowly shook her head.

"Did he know?" Shaundi whispered as her eyes began to glisten making Angela blink. "The Boss, did he know?"

"Hell if I know, he's a smart kid probably figured it out. He saw that picture before so I wouldn't doubt it." Angela shrugged. "Why?"

"Because Julius is dead." Shaundi whispered as tears fell from her eyes making Angela raise an eyebrow.

"I heard, sucks to be him-"

"The Boss shot him!" Shaundi snapped quietly making Angela's eyes widen in surprise at the revelation.

…

…

…

*Snort*

"Haha! That's my boy!" Angela laughed as a ruthless grin split her face. "Oh that's fucking beautiful! Now I'm glad I told Jules after he blew up my boy!" Angela laughed as she wiped tears of mirth from her eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Shaundi whispered in morbid fascination.

"There is only one truth in the world girl, the strong rule. Pure and simple." Angela stated with a smile. "You do what you have to get what you want. This world is a bitch, so fuck it good and fuck it hard. First lesson I taught that boy."

"Sixteen years with this woman alone, of course he ended up the way he did!" Shaundi thought incredulously.

"Anyway we're here because you want to find out more about my son right?" Angela said suddenly making her nod. "Well now you know where he comes from, let me tell you why he is the way he is. When he was younger he was caught in the middle of my teachings and whatever peace bullshit Jules fed to him, however something happened that showed him I was right and when he realized that he truly became my son."

"What happened?" Shaundi asked quietly.

"You know you aren't the first girl that's met me." Angela said seriously. "Before you there was an Asian woman he brought, what was her name? Lin?" Angela said making Shaundi blink in surprise. Of course she heard of the former lieutenant but only through Johnny's stories, the Boss didn't like to speak of her. "Yeah he loved that woman, I was surprised a woman that much older than him gave him the time of day but he somehow wormed his way into her heart. Do you know how she died?"

"She died thanks to a mission gone wrong I heard." Shaundi said with a frown making Angela nod.

"She and my boy were shot and placed in a trunk of a car that was pushed into the river." Angela said making Shaundi blink in surprise. "It must have been hell, you see back then he had a severe case of claustrophobia-like many kids here because of that old law. She was the only one that could calm him down. Anyway before she bled out she had a choice between freeing herself or him, she chose him knowing she was far too weak to swim to safety."

"So he watched her die for him." Shaundi muttered before paling slightly. All the times she had blamed him and Pierce for not caring about Johnny dying…if he had his current mentality she would probably be dead. "What the fuck was I thinking!?"

It was then Shaundi remembered something that she probably would have preferred she didn't.

"You said something about him risking his bloodline again…" Shaundi trailed off making the woman nod sadly.

"Lin was a few weeks pregnant when that incident occurred." Angela said making Shaundi gasp. "It was like a switch had been flipped. He home came that day soaked in water and said that for his eighteenth birthday he wanted revenge…before long after that the three gangs fell before he was betrayed and I believe you know the rest. His smile was gone permanently…at least I thought so until today."

Shaundi blinked as the woman looked at her with tears in her eyes.

"I beg you. Do not hurt my son. " The woman pleaded as tears slid down her face before her expression hardened. " Or I'll take you out myself. He's been through enough, he's killed enough but I know it won't stop, he won't stop. Shit, I'm starting to sound like Jules. I don't show it well but I love that boy. It wasn't until I got older, matured a bit and began taking my meds as I raised him that I realized that I was wrong and Jules was right to an extent…do not let him end up like me."

"He's already worse than you." Shaundi said quietly making the woman flinch before Shaundi stood up with a serious expression and placed a hand on the woman's shoulder. "That doesn't mean he's lost, look at yourself even you are still human no matter how ruthless you claimed to have been. The Boss won't stop, he loves this too much to quit, but I won't let him become a monster. Somewhere deep down he has a heart and I will protect it."

"Thank you…"

-Later-

BGM: Look what you've done- Drake

"Thanks for the grub." The Boss said as he leaned back in his chair and patted his stomach. "Glad to see you haven't lost your touch."

"It really was delicious Angela." Shaundi said as she put her fork down with a smile as the Playa grinned.

"Yum!" The little girl cheered as she patted her stomach.

"So tell me boy, why have you decided to show up after all this time?" Angela questioned as she lit a cigarette making Shaundi blink in confusion.

"Wait this isn't where he's been going for the past few Sundays?" Shaundi wondered in shock as she turned to her Boss whom stood up and walked towards his mother. The Boss said nothing as he reached into his pocket and pulled out an envelope before tossing it onto the table in front of Angela. The older woman quirked an eye-brow as she blew out a ring of smoke before picking it up and staring at her son with half-lidded eyes.

"How much is it this time?" Angela questioned with practiced ease.

"Fifty Million." The Boss drawled as he crossed his arms and stared down at the woman. Shaundi blinked as she watched the two stare at each other for a bit before Angela placed the envelope down.

"You know I am just going to throw it away like the others." Angela drawled making the Boss sigh.

"It's time you moved somewhere else and vacationed or something. You only have one life momma and it's time you lived it." The Boss said simply.

*Flashback*

A little boy looked on with wide eyes as he saw an exhausted older woman attempt to sneak into the house.

"Momma?" The boy questioned making her curse to herself before giving him a tired smile.

"Hey baby, did I wake you?" The woman questioned sheepishly making him shake his head quietly.

"Where have you been?"

"Out making sure we can eat." The woman said as she pulled off her long black coat and hung it over the back of a nearby chair. The boy frowned as he saw red stains over her white tank top. The woman always came home covered in red and he could never find out why.

"I missed you." The boy whispered making her chuckle lightly before wincing as she held her side.

"Same here baby, tell you what we have enough money to last us a week or two now. Go to bed and we'll hang out tomorrow, spend the whole time watching movies just the two of us-you like that?" The woman questioned making the boy nod.

"Yes…"

"Good now go to sleep, tomorrow is Christmas. I ran into Santa tonight he said he'd manage to get you that toy you wanted but only if you're good and listen to your momma." The woman said and let out a smile at the look of awe that was on her son's face. "Good, now head off to bed." The boy nodded with a grin and quickly ran away.

But he didn't go to bed.

Waiting until she went into the restroom the boy silently followed after her and peeked through the bathroom door. His eyes widened in confusion as he saw the reflection of his mother biting down on a piece of wood, her face filled with pain as she used a knife to dig something small and metallic from her side.

*Flashback: End*

"Why?" Angela questioned simply as she gazed at her son.

"You deserve it." The Boss answered making her snort.

"Sorry boy but you know I don't accept Saints money." Angela said seriously making him tilt him chuckle slightly as a smirk graced his lips.

"Stubborn as always-no you're not winning this time." The Boss drawled making her look at him skeptically. "It's not Saints money, it's my money. Completely legit." The Boss explained making her blink owlishly.

"You got fifty million dollars legally?" Angela questioned in disbelief, hell even Shaundi was looking at him in confusion. "Without the saints or Ultor backing you? How?"

"I am your son." The Boss said as he stood up. "I don't have much free time but when I do I work a few shifts down at Freckle Bitches. Been doing that for a while, take that small amount of money and add that with the royalties I got for some of their new menu options plus some very good trades in the stock market…you get yourself I nice little sum of money." The Boss answered making Shaundi and Angela look at him in shock while the Playa tilted her head in confusion.

"I don't deserve it." Angela muttered making him snort.

"The hell you don't."

"How can you say that? After all the ways I've failed you?" Angela questioned angrily as she rose from her chair. "If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have been in a goddamn coma!"

"Fuck you say!?" The Boss snapped back at her with a glare. "If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have survived that goddamn coma! I'm alive because of you!" The Boss shouted stunning the woman. "You taught me how to walk the Row, you showed me what to strive for in this world, you made me who I am today!"

"That's the problem!" Angela shouted angrily. "I turned you into a monster…I turned you in to me."

"Jesus Christ you sound like a pussy! What the hell did those pussy pills do to you?" The Boss shouted making the woman push him back.

"And you sound like a goddamn sociopath." Angela shouted making him tense as he remembered his last encounter with Julius. "For your information those 'Pussy pills' are needed to curb my aggression, it was the only way I could be put on parole and not lose you! Besides how many people have you killed at this point!? Was it worth it? Those families you've destroyed were they worth it to get you where you are today."

"Fuck yes." The Boss said without hesitation stunning her. "I'm alive, I'm rich as hell, I got a hot and smart girl, and a cute kid that's going to take after me. Shit I can literally go out right now and buy a nice little place to live with a white fucking picket fence and retire and live my life in luxury!" The Boss said as he crossed his arms.

"Then why don't you!?"

"Because I love this shit!" The Boss said seriously. "This is who I am, this who I've always been. Look at my fucking family are you really surprised? Shit even now at this moment you're fucking proud deep down aren't you?" The Boss said angrily making her step back in shock.

"Get out." Angela whispered quietly as the fight left her but the Boss ignored her and wrapped her in a tight embrace.

"You've always taken care of me, but I've grown up and now I have people I need to take care of. Lives depend on every fucking decision I make, and I can only make those decisions because of you. It was just you and I for so long…you were so young when you were stuck with me and now you're free."

"I don't want freedom, I just want you safe." Angela said quietly.

"Shit, even if I didn't become the man I am today and got some whack ass white collar office job I could still get killed in this world. Everyone risks dying every time they wake up and leave their house, the only way to be safe is to lock yourself away and that shit ain't living." The Boss said seriously. "Take the money, enjoy your life, and rejoice in the fact that the reason you can is because you've done enough."

"And when will you finally do enough?" Angela questioned as she looked up into her son's eyes.

"I asked myself that a lot, but it's only recently that I have gotten an answer." The Boss said with a smirk and tilted his head back to the table. "When the Playa can walk the row like we can…then I think I can take a moment to rest. Now will you take the damn money so I can do something else with my Sundays? Lord knows I want to have some alone time with my girl for once." The Boss chuckled as Angela wiped her eyes.

"Fine…but keep in touch this time and not just call me out of the blue." Angela said firmly. "I want to hear from you at least once a week so I know you're alive."

"Shit ain't no problem though if I ever do go down I'm sure it'll be on every piece of media in the world." The Boss said with a laugh making her roll her eyes with a small smile. Shaundi looked at the two incredulously before her eyes softened at the genuine smile on the Boss' face. The smile was so human that it honestly made her feel as though the trip was worth it.

BGM: END

-Later: Steelport-

"You know Boss that was nice. Definitely a good change of pace." Shaundi said with a smile as the Boss drove them back to the HQ while the Playa slept on the backseat.

"Oh getting tired of the game already?" The Boss joked making her shake her head with a smile.

"Hell no, but you gotta admit it gets tiring after a while."

"Shit, you right." The Boss admitted as he turned a corner.

"You know it's earlier than I thought, how about when we get home you, the Playa, and I watch some old Christmas movies till midnight?" Shaundi questioned curiously making the Boss raise an eyebrow.

"Why?"

"No reason, it was something I did with my folks when I was a kid-a tradition I guess." Shaundi said as she smiled fondly at the memories. "We watched movies till midnight on Christmas Eve, by then I'd have fallen asleep and then in the morning we'd open gifts and just spend the day together."

"That sounds…" A lot better than he would admit but before the Boss could say anything his eye's narrowed at the sight of a hulking figure running towards them. "The fuck is that-"

*CRASSSSHHHH!*

"AHH!" Shaundi screamed as the car was suddenly sent sailing through the air and towards the side of a building.

*BOOOOOOOOM!*

The Boss shook his head to clear it from any grogginess and looked on in slight horror as his car was upside down in the remains of a nearby corner store.

"What t-the f-fuck?" The Boss muttered as glanced to the side to see Shaundi groaning in pain, behind him he could hear the Playa crying.

"Daddy!"

"Shit…" The Boss muttered as he freed himself from his seatbelt and used a hunting knife he kept in the glove compartment to cut Shaundi free before kicking her door open. Crawling over her, the Boss struggled to get out of the flaming car before turning around to pull Shaundi free. Once she was out, the Boss got back into the vehicle to cut the young girl free from her seatbelt. "Come on Playa, hold on tight!" The Boss said as the whimpering girl gripped him tightly.

"W-what's going on?" The girl questioned in confusion as the Boss lifted her up in his arms while Shaundi regained her bearings.

"Quick Shaundi, we gotta bounce." The Boss said seriously as he dragged them both away just as the flames reached the vehicle's gas tank.

*KABOOOOOOOOOM!*

"Shit!" Shaundi shouted as the explosion knocked them forward. "Boss, what the fuck hit us!?" Shaundi questioned in alarm as the Boss held the Playa tighter.

"Don't know, shit looked like a brute." The Boss muttered with a frown as he and Shaundi stood up.

*Grrr….*

"What…the Fuck…" The Boss whispered in morbid fascination as his burnt vehicle was thrown away by a large brute that was dressed like Johnny Gat.

"BOOOOSSSSSSS!" The Brute roared as the three looked at him in terror.

"Shaundi…" The Boss began quietly as he handed the girl over to his second. "Take her and run, get back to HQ."

"I'm not leaving you behind with that…that thing!" Shaundi said angrily making him glare at her.

"This is not the time to be insubordinate! Take her, and get the fuck away!" The Boss snapped angrily making her flinch. "Please, you can get back up or whatever but don't get her hurt." The Boss said softly before turning back towards the brute with a glare.

"Damn it." Shaundi muttered with gritted teeth before turning around and running from the destroyed building.

"M-mommy?" The girl questioned in confusion as she saw the Boss getting smaller in the distance.

"Shut your eyes baby, daddy's going to be okay." Shaundi said comfortingly, but she had no idea if she was trying to convince the girl or herself. As they ran, the Boss pulled out his gun and took aim.

"Alright mother fucker, I don't know what the fuck you are but you can be damn well sure you ain't getting away with this shit in my city." The Boss said coolly as he unloaded his clip at the brute that simply charged forward and shrugged off the gun fire. "Well, shit." The Boss deadpanned before getting back handed through the building.

-With Shaundi-

As Shaundi ran she tried not to pay any attention to the sounds of destruction behind her while keeping the Playa held tightly in her arms.

"Shaundi! Girl! What happened?" A voice questioned in alarm and for once Shaundi was glad to see Pierce approaching her. He and Tera had been leaving a Planet Saints when they saw her running.

"The Boss, the Boss is in trouble." Shaundi gasped out as she handed the little girl to a worried Tera. "Some kind of fucking Gat monster attacked us, he bought us some time but we gotta get back before he gets killed."

"Wha the fuck? A Gat Monster?"

"I can't even explain, shit is not natural, come on!" Shaundi shouted as she pulled out a gun and forced Pierce to follow. "Tera call some homies quick!"

"On it!" Tera said as she pulled out her phone while trying to comfort a hysterical Playa. Shaundi and Pierce ran for a few minutes before finally finding where the Boss and the hulking monster were. Once they reached the battlefield Shaundi paled when she saw a bloody and battered Boss held up by his face before he was viciously slammed into the ground with a sickening crunch.

"Boss!" Shaundi shouted in fear as Pierce unloaded a clip at the berserk clone.

"Wha the fuck!?" Pierce shouted as the beast released a roar when he turned to them before running away leaving the two lieutenants alone with the broken form of their Boss. Shaundi ran towards the Boss with tears in her eyes as some of the Saints entered the scene.

"Don't just stand there, get some fucking help!" Pierce boomed as Shaundi knelt next to the Boss and wept as blood pooled beneath him. Never had she seen the Boss in such critical condition, it was a chilling reminder that despite how invincible he seemed-the Boss was still just a human.

-Hours Later-

*Beep.*

*Beep*

*Beep*

Shaundi, Pierce, and the remaining Lieutenants minus Tera were sitting in the medical wing in a solemn silence, the only sounds that could be heard were the Boss' life support system and the soft snores of the Playa whom had cried herself to sleep. The Boss was covered from head to toe in white bandages and his future seemed pretty grim.

"Just what the fuck is going on?" Carlos finally broke the silence as he shook his head. He was still recovering from his de-zombification and was far from fit for active duty but even he had to come see the Boss' condition for himself. "You said Gat did this?"

"That was not Johnny." Shaundi said with a glare as she looked at the Boss. "I don't know what the fuck that thing was, it wore Johnny's clothes…but it wasn't him."

"But that leaves the question of just what the hell that thing was and who did it come from? The Morningstar is gone right? You guys didn't 'forget' to shut down any of the cloning facilities when you disbanded did you?" Pierce questioned the twins with narrowed eyes.

"Of course not, we immediately took them down after joining the Saints." Kiki said as her sister nodded.

"We didn't even approve of the cloning in the first place, wherever that thing came from it wasn't us." Viola added.

"They're telling the truth." Kinzie piped up as she typed away on her computer. Outwardly she appeared to be fine, almost impassive to the situation, but when looking into her eyes and taking account of how her hands trembled slightly when she typed it was obvious that she was just as anxious as the rest of them. "There are no more Syndicate operations being run, not even Matt can hide from me. Whatever this is…it's from an independent party."

"Or a nerd with too much time on his hands." Tera said as she entered the room, an expression of anger on her face as she glanced behind her. "Get the fuck in here!" Tera snapped as she reached back and pulled a scrawny young man into a room filled with some of the most dangerous individuals on the planet.

All of whom he had inadvertently pissed off to no end.

"The fuck is he?" Shaundi questioned in confusion as she watched the nerd pale as he looked around at the gang members.

"The cause of this mess." Tera said with a sneer. "I followed the destruction back to his house, where I managed to find a bunch of crude cloning equipment-"Tera could barely finish the statement as the Saints all collectively got up. None of them, however, were as fast Shaundi whom had already crossed the room and held the little man by his neck as she placed a hand-gun to his forehead. "Shaundi, wait!" Tera shouted as she placed a hand on the enraged woman's arms.

"Why? Why the fuck shouldn't I splatter this little shit's brain all over the fucking wall!?" Shaundi snapped making Tera soften her gaze.

"As much as I would love to see that, this entire situation is indeed accidental."

"P-Please! I didn't mean any harm! I'm the Saint's biggest fan!"

"Shut the fuck up!" Shaundi snapped again making the young man flinch as he soiled himself, realizing that he could very well die in that medical wing. "Who do you think I am? You think I care if it's an accident or not? This bitch needs to die!"

"Again, I agree…but afterwards…" Tera said as she attempted to comfort the woman. "While his sins are great, Jimmy here has spent the past few hours with me attempting to rectify this situation." Tera said as she pulled up a vial that was filled with a neon purple liquid, that was almost blinding to look at. "He manipulated Saint's flow into a serum that could strengthen the body…but it was crude, incomplete. With my help we managed to not only perfect it but make it stronger. Without this, the Boss will die tonight."

"W-what?" Shaundi question as she loosened her grip making the young man fall to the ground. "Die?"

"Die." Tera reaffirmed. "There is no surviving that kind of trauma even with modern day medicine and technology…at least not until now." Tera said as she once again raised the vial. "He put the Boss on death's door but he also worked hard to bring him from it. Take a deep breath Shaundi, you're second in command…think like the Boss right now, what would he do? Leave personal feelings out of it.

He can be an asset to us in the future."

"Hate to say but she's right." Kinzie spoke up. "I'm looking at the tools he used now, if he had funding he could potentially be a game changer for us."

"Oh come on, this is bullshit!" Carlos said with a glare. "He deserves to die! Better yet he deserves something even worse if that's possible."

"I agree." Shaundi said as she raised her weapon.

*BANG!*

*BANG!*

"AHHHH!" Jimmy shouted in agony as she shot both of his knee caps.

"Consider yourself canonized, welcome to hell bitch." Shaundi muttered as Tara released a sigh of relief. "Do whatever it is you need to do, just make him well again." Shaundi pleaded as she gestured to the Boss. Tera nodded as she approached the bed and opened one of the I.V. bags before pouring the glowing liquid into it. "So what's that shit supposed to do?"

"Strengthen the body, increase his healing rate a bit so hopefully he can survive the night. I won't lie, I'm not sure how well this will work or what the side-effects will be. It's another reason we need Jimmy alive so he can help me make other concoctions in case this fails." Tera said as she stepped back from the Boss. "Every bone in his body was broken and his organs were severely damaged, how he survived the trip here is a miracle. The closest thing in his medical records would be when he was blown up on the boat times like ten."

"Well shit." Pierce muttered, Johnny had told him stories of the Boss' body when he was pulled from the wreckage, if this was worse than even that…Pierce shuddered.

"So how long is this shit supposed to take?" Shaundi asked with a glare making Tera frown.

"Did you not hear the injuries? It could take months even years before he's one hundred percent and this is all assuming that he hasn't become a vegetable." Tera said with a frown before sighing. That came out harsher than she intended but tensions were high and she had told the Boss countless time before to not be so reckless, no one-not even the Boss- could bounce back from something like this and they needed to understand that-

*CRACK*

"-The fuck?' Tera muttered in confusion at the loud cracking noise before turning to the Boss when she heard his heart monitor increase rapidly as his cast began to crack, allowing a purple light to shine through the crevices. Immediately, Tera whirled on Jimmy with a glare. "Mother fucker! How much of that Saint's Flow did you synthesize?"

"The entire twelve pack, like you said!" Jimmy said making her gape before grabbing him by his collar and slamming him against a wall, not unlike how Shaundi did moments prior.

"Bitch I said twelve drops, not twelve cans no wonder that shit was glowing! What the actual fuck, you turned him into a bomb!" Tera snapped making the occupants of the room look at her in horror.

*CRAASH!*

*FLASSSSHHH*

*BOOOOOM!*

An explosion ripped from the Bosses body and tore the room asunder, the only one not hit by it was the playa whom was grabbed by Oleg at the last moment as he went to shield everyone with his body. Once the explosion died down the Saints looked up weakly towards the Boss's bed, dread filling their bodies as they expected the worst.

*Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*

*Thud*

"God…damn…what the fuck was that!?" A familiar voice questioned making their eyes widen in shock as the very naked form of the Boss stood where his bed used to, a look of angered confusion on his face as he narrowed his eyes at Tera causing purple sparks to flash from his irises. "Bitch what the fuck did you stick in me?"

"Oh my God." Tara whispered in morbid fascination as the Boss glanced down at himself, blinking in confusion as a bright vibrant purple aura covered his body while sparks of energy crackled around him. The tattoo on his back was glowing bright making it appear as though it were a neon sign that was branded on him.

"What…the fuck…why am glowing?" The Boss questioned with something that was almost akin to fear. "Shit just got weird…" The Boss muttered as he looked up at Tara for explanation only to frown when she looked just as confused as him and everyone else.

"I can answer that!" Jimmy said proudly with a grin.

"The fuck are you?" The Boss questioned in confusion.

"Just your biggest fan! Thanks to my sweet Tera here for perfecting my formula for my radiated Saints flow, the energy stored up within the atoms of the drink have bound to your very DNA! Transforming you…into a…god."

"Are you shitting me!?" Pierce asked incredulously. "Like this nigga needed to be scarier!" Pierce said with wide-eyes though one could see the relief he had of seeing the Boss in good condition

"B-boss?" Shaundi asked hesitantly getting his attention. He frowned when he saw her disheveled appearance and one glance towards her eyes told him that she had been crying her heart out.

*Crackle*

The Boss' eyes narrowed as his Irises shone brighter while energy crackled from them.

"What mother fucker do I need to kill?" The Boss asked Shaundi without preamble as he walked towards her with a frown and grasped the side of her face. Shaundi shuddered when he traced a small cut on her face with his thumb.

"A clone." Tera began gaining his attention and she had to repress a flinch when a bright violet eye landed on her. "Of Johnny that is, he attacked you earlier."

"What?" The Boss asked quietly before his eyes narrowed further while his body cracked with energy. "Playa." The Boss muttered before turning around to see the little girl waking up as he quickly put on his tattered black pants which Shaundi had handed him.

"Daddy?" The girl questioned as she rubbed her eyes. "Daddy!" The girl said as she rushed him. The little girl sobbed as she held him tight but the only thing he was focused on were the little bandages covering her arms and face.

*CRACK!*

The occupants of the room looked on hesitantly as one of the walls began to crack as the Boss pried the girl off of him gently before handing her to Shaundi.

"Mr. Boss, sir. It is an honor and I must say that I am so sorry-"Jimmy stopped talking when an invisible forced ripped out from the Boss and slammed into his body with enough force to make him burst through a wall and out of the room. The room tensed as they looked at the Boss while a bright purple energy rolled off of him in waves, his body shining brighter by the second. None of them had ever seen the Boss this angry before.

This cold fury…

…It transcended anything they had seen.

"B-Boss…" Pierce tried the call out only to stop when Kiki placed a hand on his shoulder and shook her head.

"It's no use, a subordinate just attacked his family. He gets pissed when we just ask questions about his orders, how mad do you think this makes him?" Kiki questioned making Pierce's eyes widen as he instinctively took a step back.

"I'm more concerned about the fact he's fucking glowing." Viola muttered as she looked at the power flowing off of the Boss apprehensively.

"I'll be right back." The Boss muttered with a glare before turning to the hole his power had made. The Saints looked on in surprise as he simply ran forward and jumped out of the room.

"Boss!" Shaundi shouted as she rushed to the hole only to gape as she saw him land perfectly fine in a crouch before blasting off into the city depth like a purple comet. "What the hell…"

"He's on a mission." Carlos said knowingly before repressing a shudder. They had filled him in on how the Boss got revenge for his death and actually felt sorry for the clone of Johnny. "I feel a little bad for that clone, he has absolutely no idea what he's done."

-With the Boss-

Johnny Tag stopped wreaking the city when he heard someone land behind him. Sniffing the air, he turned around with a scowl when he saw the Boss standing behind him with a glare as his eyes crackled with power.

"Boss…" Johnny muttered angrily as he turned around to face the Boss with an enraged expression. "You…"

*Flash*

"…really think you can beat me?" Johnny asked as he stood in the cemetery and watched the Playa shrug off his jacket. "Why are you so determined to go out and get yourself killed!?" The Playa simply narrowed his eyes as he raised his fists.

"I've got…"

*Flash*

"…nothing to lose." The Boss muttered as he dashed forward, tearing up the ground as he ran.

BGM: Nothing to Lose-Tupac

*Boooom!*

Johnny gritted his teeth as the Boss' fist slammed into his open palm with a surprising amount of force that sent him sliding back a few feet. The Boss didn't stop there as he ran forward and went to deliver a devastating round house kick to the behemoth of a man.

*Flash*

"Are you insane!?" Johnny questioned as he caught the Playa's leg only for the Playa to spring up from the ground with his other leg and slam his free foot into Johnny's face, making the older man stumble back. The Playa grunted as he fell on his back before rolling over to regain his footing.

"Walk a mile in my shoes…"

*Flash*

"…You'd be crazy too." The Boss muttered as he ducked under a massive swing from Johnny and delivered two swift punches to the clone's abdomen making it hunch over before flying back after the Boss slammed a vicious knee into its face. The clone released bestial roar as it charged forward suddenly and grabbed the Boss his head before slamming him into the ground with enough force to tear the street asunder with the resulting shockwave.

*Flash*

"That's the best you got, bitch!?" The Playa shouted before slamming his foot into Johnny's shin, making the man release him. The Playa rolled forward before standing up and slamming a vicious right into Johnny's face making the older man's head whip to the side. The Playa didn't stop after that, oh no, he quickly slammed his left fist into Johnny's face as well before beginning to release an onslaught of blows to Johnny's head.

*Flash*

The eighth blow shattered the glasses on Johnny's face and sent the clone rolling back. Growling Johnny rolled to his feet and slammed his hands into the ground, sending a shockwave towards the Boss whom flipped over it and descended upon Johnny like a meteor.

*Flash

Johnny rolled to the side to prevent the Playa from landing on him and went to deliver a sweep kick only for the Playa to hop over it. The Playa landed and quickly stepped forward to slam his foot into Johnny's chin.

*Flash*

The force of the kick sent Johnny flying back like a cannonball into the side of a building. So strong was his impact that the entirety of the building simply collapsed on top of him. The Boss watched cautiously before narrowing his eyes when he saw the debris begin to tremble.

"BOSS!" Johnny shouted as he shot from under the rubble before landing and extend his hands far apart as if preparing to clap. The Boss gritted his teeth before cupping his hands to his side, The Boss's hands began to tremble as an orb of ultra violet energy began to form in his hands.

*Flash*

"So it's come to this, Johnny?" The Playa questioned as he aimed his gun at Johnny whom was aiming at him with his own Shepard. "I knew it, all I have are enemies."

"I won't let you kill yourself, we'll get even but it has to be when you calm down. I'll stop you even if I have to blow off both your kneecaps." Johnny said making the Playa smirk viciously.

"Good luck though you better change your target cause' this bullet is going to go right through your goddamned forehead." The Playa said seriously making Johnny's eyes widen slightly, unable to believe that it had come to this between him and his homie. "I told you, I had nothing to lose."

*Flash*

*CLAP!*

*BOOOOOOM!*

Johnny's thunderous shockwave ripped down the street just as the Boss released a wave of pure power. The two forces met each other in the middle of the street in an instant.

*KRACKABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

*Flash*

*Bang*

Johnny cursed as a bullet whipped past his cheek as he shot at the Playa whom ran at him in a zig-zag, barely dodging the bullets. The Playa grinned humorlessly as a bullet shot past his cheek while he shot at Johnny whom was barely able to dodge the bullets. Once the Playa got within arms distance of Johnny, they both raised their guns and rested the barrels of the weapons on each other's forehead. Johnny felt sick but pulled the trigger knowing that the Playa wouldn't hesitate.

*Click!*

*Click!*

Both looked on in slight surprise to find that they were each out of ammo. Wasting no time, the Playa slammed the butt of his gun into Johnny's face viciously, sending the man crashing down before he began to ruthlessly curb-stomp the lieutenant's face in.

BGM: END

*Flash!*

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

"B-Boss…." A bloodied Johnny Tag gasped out making the Boss stop his assault before forming a second ultra violet orb in his right palm. Johnny weakly raised a trembling hand towards The Boss as if trying to grasp something.

*Flash*

"You're just…letting me help you after all of that?" Johnny asked incredulously as he watched the Playa walk away after helping him up.

"I told you, I have nothing to lose." The Playa said with a shrug. "You seemed to have learned your lesson, do not fuck with me."

*Flash*

"The…S-saints….t-they failed m-me…" Johnny Tag grunted out as the energy orb reflected in his eyes.

"I know…but they won't ever again." The Boss said quietly before releasing the powerful blast directly into the Clone's face, making his head explode upon impact. The Boss looked up into the air blankly as blood sprayed on him. He clenched his fists as he imagined Shaundi and the Playa. "I take it back, I do have something to lose…and you're a threat to them." The Boss muttered before glancing back in the air when he saw a helicopter being piloted Wheel Woman approaching him.

-Saints HQ-

The Boss trudged tiredly into the HQ, he wasn't as much physically exhausted as he was mentally and emotionally. He groaned as he felt his new power swirling inside of him, growing by the second. It was definitely going to take some getting used to. The Boss frowned when he saw that it was dark and realized that his power surge must have knocked out the power.

"Yo, I'm back." The Boss called out only to get no response. "They must have left, fuck I'm too tired to care." The Boss muttered as he walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Closing his eyes he released a long breath as he decided to get some rest.

"Boss?" A voice called out making him crack an eye open to see a shadowy figure approaching him. Channeling some power into his right index finger, a purple flame like energy engulfed it and lit the room in an ultraviolet glow revealing Shaundi to be approaching him.

"Shaundi? What's up girl, you aight?" The Boss questioned making Shaundi frown as she took a seat next to him and snuggled up into his side.

"I should be asking you that. What happened out there?" Shaundi questioned as she looked into his eyes with concern. "With that…thing…"

"Motherfucker tried me, and then he paid the price." The Boss said bluntly as Shaundi bit her lip and wiped away some of the small traces of blood on his face. She knew without a doubt that it did not belong to the Boss and figured out immediately what must have happened to the clone. "Shaundi, what's wrong?" The Boss asked as he watched her wipe tears from her eyes.

"It's nothing, its stupid…it's just I almost lost you again today." Shaundi whispered making him open his mouth to explain that it was just part of their lifestyle. "Stop. I get it, this life is dangerous. But damn it, why is it always you? Why do you have to keep dealing with this pain?"

"Well shit, cause I'm the Boss." The Boss said with a shrug before pulling her into his lap, making her straddle him as he looked up into her eyes. "You all keep the gang running and I protect it. Make the hard decisions, deal with the majority of this bullshit so y'all don't have to. Get it? Don't feel bad for me, I ain't no bitch. I've shot my own old man between the eyes because he was a threat to you all if left unchecked. I just sent my closest friend back to the grave because he too became a threat. Don't cry for me girl, I'm used to it."

"But you shouldn't have to be used to it! Who the hell should have to go through that!?" Shaundi asked angrily making him chuckle.

"If you wanna make it in this world, you need to be ready to get your hands dirty. Is it right? Fuck no. But life ain't fair. Besides this world needs monsters like me so that people can appreciate the good in life, y'know? It's a whole can't have good without evil kind of thing." The Boss explained making Shaundi's expression soften as she muttered something. "Speak up shawty, what was that?"

"I said you're not a monster." Shaundi said as she gazed his eyes. "You've been given some pretty shitty circumstances, but you're not a monster I couldn't feel this way for a monster."

"Or maybe you're just as fucked up as me." The Boss mused making her eyes widen. "Yeah you were a druggie, but you had a pretty tame life back in the day, hell you went to college. Yet you chose this life willingly, and then stayed in it. Then on top of that you actually went after me, let's be honest you get off on this shit don't you?" The Boss asked with a smirk and despite the situation Shaundi couldn't help but suddenly laugh.

"You know…you might be right." Shaundi whispered before pressing her lips to his neck right over his Fleur tattoo making him tilt his head to give her more access.

[Lemon Warning: That's right, I finally fucking wrote one, rejoice.]

BGM: She Will- Lil Wayne Feat Drake

"Oh?" The Boss said as he placed both hands on her ass and gave it a squeeze, the light on his finger spreading and covering them both in the ultraviolet aura. Shaundi shuddered as she felt his power course over her body.

"Yeah because despite everything…I don't think I have ever wanted a person as much as I want you right now." Shaundi said as she grinded against him, making him groan, before looking into his eyes as she licked some of the blood form his collar bone.

"Goddamn, you freaky as fuck." The Boss said with an incredulous chuckle as he pulled off her jacket.

"Oh you have no idea." Shaundi whispered with a smirk, nothing but lust in her eyes. "Now let's get you clean." Shaundi said as she continued to lick the blood from his body as she undid the button on his pants. The Boss bit his lip a bit as she reached down the front of his pants and gripped his member, it hardened in her hand as she continued to kiss and lick down the front of his body. Her hand slowly moved up and down as she got closer to the flesh held firmly in her hand. She looked up when she felt his hand in her hair and when her eyes met his, he gave her nod which made her smirk before she claimed the pulsating flesh with her mouth.

"Fuck." The Boss muttered as she began to expertly move her head in tandem with her wrist while her tongue began to swirl around his tip. "That's it…"

*Flash*

Lin brought her head up with a resounding pop and grinned up at the Playa whom was sitting on the edge of his bed, his breathing getting steadily faster. The Playa looked at her in confusion when she released him only to pull off her top.

"Let's get that out of the way." Lin said as she discarded her top into the corner of the room before removing her signature chopsticks from her hair, allowing it to flow down freely. The Playa leaned forward and nibbled on her ear making her gasp as he gently pushed her back until she was flat on the floor with him above her, his knee resting between her legs. His left hand cupped her right breast, his thumb tracing circles around her nipple as his other hand slipped down the front of her leather pants. She gasped when she felt two fingers slowly enter her.

"Having fun?" The Playa teased making her glare up at him weakly.

"Don't get cocky, find that little button like I told you or do you need me to draw you a map again." Lin asked with a smirk.

"You tell me." The Playa said as he shifted his hand a bit.

*Flash*

"Oh…shit!" Shaundi gasped out as her back arched a bit. Her eyes shut in pleasure as she desperately grasped at his wrist with both of her hands before opening her eyes to look at his amused expression with a small pout gracing her lips. "Stop…teasing…"

"Teasing?" The Boss repeated innocently as he leaned back and pulled off her extremely tight pants that idly made him wonder how the fuck she got dressed every morning along with her panties. "You mean like this?" The Boss asked before leaning forward and placing his head between her legs.

"Fuck." Shaundi said as her legs tightened around him making him repress a chuckle. Shaundi whimpered a bit as she grabbed his hair and pressed him further into her.

*Flash*

"Keep…keep it up Playa…" Lin gasped out as the Playa continued to lick away at her womanhood. "R-remember, we last longer…its just biology. Want to avoid looking like a bitch? Take care of the girl first. Want to know a secret? You need more than your tongue let your nose brush against the sweet spot baby." Lin said as the Playa pressed himself in deeper. "Just like that!" Lin exclaimed after a ripple of pleasure shot through her body. After a few more minutes, Lin pushed him away from her so that she could flip over to her front. Her legs remained spread as she arched her back and placed her hand down between them, spreading herself open with two fingers. "I don't think I need to tell you what to do from here." Lin said as she glanced back with a smirk.

"Damn straight."

*Flash*

"Boss…" Shaundi moaned as she felt the Boss enter her from behind, his hands felt like fire against her skin when he grabbed her hips and began to thrust.

"Goddamn…" The Boss muttered as he felt her press up against him with every push. If there was one thing that never ceased to amaze him, it would be Shaundi's ass. He never thought there would be such a thing as an actual perfect ass until he met her and was positive that it should have been one of the wonders of the world.

"You know despite the rumors, it's real." Shaundi said with a smirk as she glanced back at him as if she could read his mind.

"Oh you don't have to convince me shawty." The Boss said with a chuckle as he gave her right cheek a playful squeeze before leaning forward and pressing himself firmly against her back and increased his pace. Shaundi's breath hitched as he reached forward and interlocked the fingers on his right hand with hers. "Be honest Shaundi, you wanted to come with me today because you were concerned by where we stood right?" The Boss asked before leaning back and pulling her up with him until they were both upright as he continued to thrust with vigor. The Boss cupped her breasts with his hands and massaged them as he nibbled on her earlobe. "You're mine, and I'll make sure you won't get that confused ever again after tonight." The Boss whispered in her ear making her shudder. "Because no matter how it might seem…"

*Flash*

Lin panted as she freed herself from the Playa's grasp and separated herself from him before turning around with a mischievious glint in her eyes. She pushed him gently to his back as she crawled forward and straddled his waist. She giggled as she felt his member rub against her rear.

"You like to run shit Playa, I get the allure, but sometimes you have to give up some power." Lin said she reached back and guided him back to her entrance. She bit her lip she felt him enter her once more. "If someone as prideful as you can do that you don't have to worry about saying some pussy shit like 'I love you' the action speaks for itself."

*Flash*

"I'm yours too, don't let these hoes make you get that fact twisted." The Boss said as he gazed up at Shaundi whom was on top of him, moving her hips slowly as he used his grip on her hips to slowly increase the pace. "That's it girl." The Boss groaned out as the purple aura of his powers slid up Shaundi's body, clinging to her like a second skin. The aura burned away her hairband making her hair fall freely before it began to be lifted up a bit by the power.

"Oh my God!" Shaundi cried out in ecstasy. "Fuck, what are you doing to me?" Shaundi asked with a moan as she looked down at him, purple bleeding into her brown eyes while she placed her hands on his chest. A ripple of pleasure shot through her that made her nails dig into his skin but he didn't seem to mind as the scratches healed nearly instantly.

"Showing you just where you stand." The Boss said with a smirk as he manipulated the aura around her body to form a bright ultraviolet devil tail and horns that extended from her body. "You're my vice…" The Boss began before a bright ultraviolet halo appeared over her head as a matching pair of wings sprung from her back. He was getting real good at controlling his new power, he supposed he could get used to it. "…and my virtue. Literally you represent the only thing I have outside of the Saints to live for." Tears of pleasure came from her eyes as the power seemed to be filling her with every emotion the Boss was feeling at the moment. From the Boss' perspective, Shaundi appeared to be a carbon copy of the Saint's angel.

"Oh…fuck…Boss, I love you!" Shaundi cried out before she leaned forward and claimed his lips, dispelling the constructs as one final yet extremely powerful wave of pleasure washed over both of them.

BGM: END

[Lemon: End]

-Steelport: Second Saint's HQ-

"All I'm saying is that we didn't need to live the other building if Shaundi wanted to fu-I mean-be alone with the Boss." Pierce amended when Carlos gave him a small glare as he gestured to the Playa whom hanging off of his back. They were all positive that the kid had heard worse around the Boss and Shaundi, but that didn't stop Carlos from taking his job as her guardian seriously. "We could have just moved down three floors."

"You might want to rethink that." Kinzie drawled as she brought up an image of the building being occupied by their leaders on the big screen. The gathered saints all jaw dropped when they saw that the building looked as though it were engulfed by a purple fire.

"Goddamn…" Pierce muttered as a bead of sweat slid down his face. Carlos barely managed to cover the little girls ears when a loud shout of 'Boss' rung out from the building as a powerful pulse of energy shattered all of the windows.

"Holy shit…he's really up in there." Kiki said incredulously. "He must be completely blowing her back out."

"You might need to take over for Shaundi, Pierce." Tera said with a grimace getting his attention. "No way in hell she's going to be walking anytime soon. That is if his super powered ass didn't break something, she might be dead."

"What a way to go though…" Kiki muttered making Viola look at her scandalized. "Oh please, don't pretend you're not thinking it! How deep did that bastard go? Shit!" Viola just shook her head as she wondered if their new gang had changed or sister or if she was always this wild.

"Just let's hope that this is the end of the craziness. I draw the line at clones and super powers." Carlos said dryly making Peirce shrug.

"What's the worst that can happen?"

-The Next Morning: Stilwater: Cemetery-

Shaundi held on to the Boss' arm as they walked through the cemetery with him holding up a black umbrella to protect them from the rain. Today was the day the Boss was going to actively figure out what happened to Lin's body and perhaps finally come to terms with what had happened all those years ago.

"It should be right over…there…" The Boss trailed off making Shaundi look up at him in concern as she saw his hardened expression replaced with one of pure morbid fascination.

"Boss? What's wrong?" Shaundi questioned as the umbrella fell from his suddenly limp hand, making them get drenched by the hard downpour. "Boss!?" Shaundi asked incredulously before turning to where he was facing to see what could have possibly have caused such a reaction from her fearless lover.

BGM: Mirrors-Jhené

Shaundi's eyes widened a bit as she saw a woman with silky pitch black hair tied into a pony tail standing in front of what must have been Lin's desecrated grave with her back towards them. She was wearing a pair of low riding black leather pants and a black and purple jacket which was hanging off of her shoulders.

*click!*

"You got one second to get the fuck away from that grave." The Boss aid with a glare as he regained his bearings and readied his Shepard.

"Hm? Must have been standing here longer than I thought." The woman said to herself, the sound of her voice made the Boss' hands tremble ever so slightly. Turning around slowly the woman glanced at him with a smirk gracing her purple painted lips as her slightly slanted hazel eyes gazed back at him with barely concealed amusement. "It's been awhile, hasn't it Playa?" The woman questioned as his eyes went down to the tattoo on her waist that was peeking out from the top of her pants.

"Lin…" The Boss muttered shocking Shaundi as the woman sauntered over towards them.

"I suppose its Boss now though isn't it?" Lin asked before laughing lightly as she stopped before him caressed the side of his face while he lowered his gun. "You did something to your hair."

"How are you even here?" The Boss questioned with a frown as she released him.

"If you think that clone of Johnny was the craziest shit was going to get for you, you are mistaken." Lin stated matter-of-factly. "You haven't even faced your biggest enemy yet, your next one is going to come from beyond the stars."

"Hold up!" Shaundi interrupted getting Lin's attention. "You can't be talking about fucking aliens!" Shaundi said incredulously making Lin chuckle.

"Aren't you precious…is it really that unbelievable? He has godlike powers now and just killed a hulked out clone of his closest friend. There are zombies running around as we speak, in fact I caught one you might be interested in. I left it in that ditch behind me where I was once buried." Lin said as she turned back to face the Boss. "The threat you are going to face has the power to obliterate this planet on a whim, you need to make sure that doesn't happen."

"You want me to save the world? You know I ain't about that hero life." The Boss stated making her chuckle.

"Then do it for yourself. What's the point of being a Boss if your species is dead? Your consumers? Your hoes? All of it gone along with your money."

"Fuck." The Boss cursed as he thought about it. "What the hell am I supposed to do?" The Boss questioned making Lin shrug.

"Hell if I know, you're the Boss not me. Make this world your bitch if you have to while I keep doing my job." Lin said making the Boss narrow his eyes ever so slightly as he looked at her suspiciously.

"Which is?"

"Information gathering, getting behind enemies lies. The shit I've always been doing since before even you joined the Saints." Lin said simply. "I work for you, but the only reason I am here is because of allies you have that transcend time itself want to help you. They saved me all those years ago for this moment, this war."

*FLASH!*

The Boss and Shaundi jumped as a white portal appeared behind them.

"Now I have to get back to work, I wonder when I will see you again?" Lin questioned before pressing her lips to the corner of his mouth before stepping forward. "Thanks for keeping him warm for me." Lin whispered to Shaundi as she passed the woman before disappearing into the portal. Shaundi felt a pain in her chest at her words before turning to the Boss whom had a look of contemplation on his face.

"Boss…what the hell is supposed to happen now?" Shaundi questioned as he holstered his gun.

"It means we keep going, we were given a message. The fight ain't over yet." The Boss said as he turned back to the hole in Lin's grave where he heard growling and thrashing. The Boss walked towards the hole but stopped suddenly and glanced back at Shaundi.

"Boss?" Shaundi questioned as he gave her an assessing look.

"Move forward no matter what, that's my motto. I use this in all part of my life shawty, remember that." The Boss warned making Shaundi's eyes widen as she got his unspoken message.

Don't worry about Lin.

"Yes Boss." Shaundi said softly with a smile, glad that the rain hid her tears though she was positive the Boss could see them anyway which is probably why he even said anything.

BGM END

BGM: Hands up-Lloyd Banks Feat. 50 Cent

"Now let's get to business." The Boss said as his eyes crackled with power when he gazed down at the zombie.

*Flash*

The President of the United States was giving a speech to the gathered members of the United Nations when suddenly the roof of the building exploded. Looking up in alarm, they all watched in surprised as a shirtless Boss floated above them, his body glowing with power.

"Sup, we need to talk." The Boss said as a smirk slowly graced his lips making them all shudder.

*Flash*

Cyrus whom had somehow survived the Boss' attack on his base found himself assassinated along with the remnants of STAG when the military suddenly turned their attention on him and his followers. Even his supporters had played a role in bringing him down.

*Flash*

A round the planet purple flags bearing the Saint's Fleur began to appear behind every country's flag at their capital. Every soldier eventually found themselves wearing the emblem as the currents wars found themselves coming to an end.

*Flash*

Purple cars were parked on the White House lawn as loud music blasted throughout the capital. Saints could be seen spray painting the house purple as neon purple lights covered the city.

*Flash*

The Boss walked down the steps of the former White House with Shaundi and leaned against a railing as his lieutenants looked up at him.

"As you know, shit is going to get real soon. This is going to be our biggest fight yet. We already put our own species in check, now we gotta teach these E.T. sons of bitches why you don't fuck with the Saints." The Boss said making them cheer. "We're going to give them an ass whooping that would make Johnny proud. First, though, we need to expand our circle a bit more."

"Alright, let's see these newbies!" Pierce said with a grin making him smirk as the doors of the main entrance opened up before the newly canonized Saints walked in.

New Homie: Mac Miller

"With a war this big we gonna need to give Kinzie some help, this is too big for her alone." The Boss stated. Kinzie gave the former Deckers Boss a glare which he returned with a wink as he walked in with a purple and black version of his former costume.

New Homie: Asha Odekar

"I personally worked alongside her when getting rid of Cyrus. Bitch deadly as fuck, perfect for assassinations." The Boss said as the woman simply crossed her arms.

"So you all are my new comrades." Asha said with before smiling ever so slightly. "I'm a bit impressed."

Returning Homie: Aisha

"Like Carlos, we have an ally recovering from zombification joining us." The Boss said as Aisha looked up at him, her face one of pure determination. "Intel told us that Gat is still alive and being held captive by our enemy. We need her if want to free him, because he will stop at nothing to be reunited with her and vice versa." The Boss said making them all nod as they thought of the former second in command.

New Homie: Benjamin "Mother fucking" King

"Had to get him to come out of retirement for this one. We gonna need an OG like him, trust me on this. That age and wisdom shit ain't no lie. Make sure you and Aisha get along." The Boss said making Benjamin and Aisha nod at each other.

"I hung my flags, not wanting to kill anymore…aliens don't count so let's do this shit." Benjamin said with a smirk making the Boss chuckle.

"He might just be the second coldest gangsta from back in his day." The Boss said making the older man frown in confusion.

"Second?" Benjamin questioned sounding a bit affronted.

New Homie: Angela "Vice Queen" King

Hearing the sound of heels, Benjamin turned around and looked on in shock as he saw his baby sister walk into the room with a bottle of pills in her hand. Aisha visibly paled a bit when she saw the woman. She was wearing a black pants-suit with a purple shirt and a golden chain around her neck that had a fleur pendant. Dropping the bottle, she shattered it beneath her foot before looking up at the Boss with a vicious smirk which he returned.

"Yes, second." The Boss said with a chuckle.

"Angela? How-"

"So I heard you tried to kill my son." Angela said without even bothering to look at her brother making Aisha look at her incredulously. Benjamin gaped at her and began looking between her and the Boss, like most of the Saints were at the moment. Before he could even begin to respond, she punched him straight in the face with enough force to draw blood as she continued gazing at the Boss. "We gonna fuck shit up?"

"Of course, don't act brand new. We gonna kill all of them." The Boss said with a smirk making her laugh.

"Make momma proud." Angela said as he turned to face his shell-shocked crew.

"Now here's what we're going to do…"

BGM: END

-With Zinyak-

"Nope, nope, uh-uh that's it. Call off the attack." Zinyak commanded making his subordinate look at him in concern.

"I'm sorry but that's impossible once you begin the invasion protocol there is no stopping it." The Alien said making him curse.

"Then get the time machine so I can go back and stop it!"

"Uh…it's been missing for a few weeks now sir." The alien responded making Zinyak throw his head back and glare up at the sky.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCC-"

-Twenty four years later: Zin Homeworld-

BGM: I Mean It- G-Eazy

"¡Dios Mío!(1)" A human woman with caramel skin and brown hair gasped out as she sat back in a chair, her eyes screwed tight as she held a woman by her hair whom had her face pressed between her legs. She didn't even jump when the door to her room suddenly opened up as a man with tanned skin entered the room.

"Really? Jane Austen." The man questioned with a chuckle. He was in his mid-twenties and had silky black hair that was combed back. He wore a purple shirt under a black vest with matching dress slacks and shoes. On his back was a sheathed katana and folded over his arm was a black coat. On his face, in front of his slightly slanted hazel eyes, was a pair of small circular sun glasses with purple lenses that rested on the bridge of his nose.

"Don't you dare kill my vibe right now." The woman muttered coldly as she glared at him with green eyes. "Keep it up…there!" The woman gasped out as an orgasm rippled throughout her body before she began panting as she released the woman.

"Shame, you didn't even invite me." The man said with pout making her roll her eyes as she stood up and pulled up her black leggings. On her lower back was a "daddy's girl" tramp stamp and above that was a Saint's Angel tattoo that covered the majority of her back.

"Próxima vez ' yo te invito.(2)" The woman said with an eye-roll as she put on a black tank top which stopped over her belly button. "Is it time, Jonnie?" The woman asked in English though her voice still held a slight Spanish accent. The man nodded and walked forward before placing the large black coat over her shoulders while she pulled out a lighter and lit a blunt.

"My mom succeeded in delivering the message, let's go rewrite history." Jonnie said making her nod as she walked towards the door with him right behind her.

"You sure you're ready?" The woman questioned making him nod as he placed a hand on the hilt of his sword.

New Homie: Jonnie King

"Always."

"Vamos a salvar nuestro padre.(3)" The woman said as she released a ring of smoke as she left a from that was filled with naked women and all sorts of drugs. The two entered a large room where black and purple clad soldiers both human and alien stood in attention as a white portal appeared at the opposite end of the room. Slowly a vicious smirk spread across her lips, her expression completely devoid of any compassion.
