Phoenix stiffens and looks at the man standing next to her Boss.
"That's you…dad?"
"Damn I'm glad Hayato takes after his mom."
Declan smirks, obviously amused.
"Oh yes, did I forget to mention that. I am so sorry."
Gokudera grinds his teeth and growls at the Irish boss.
"You bastard!" He turns to his father. "Che cosa ci fai qui?"
Gokudera glares at his father and Phoenix takes Gokudera's hand and squeezes it, telling him to calm down. She makes no gesture of welcome towards Gokudera's father. The older man quirks an eyebrow at the girls motion and asks.
"È questa la yua ragazza?"
Gokudera bares his teeth.
"Ch non sono affair tuoi"
His father stares at his son.
"Sono sicuro chi è solo una puttana da strada."
Gokudera motions to go punch his father but Phoenix holds him back, stepping forward instead.
"You know, it's always funny to see the street rats vying for their imaginary places."
The red-haired girl smirks coldly at her boyfriend's father and the man turns to look at her.
"And who do you think you are, girl?"
"I would watch your tone street rat when talking to me. My family doesn't take insults lightly."
Phoenix eyes are cold as she stares at Gokudera's fathers and he gives off a disbelieving smirk.
"Your family? I'm sure your mother is just a lowly prostitute and your father's her procurer."
The man looks smug until Phoenix steps forward and punches him in the stomach. Almost instantly, twenty men in black suits surround Gokudera and Phoenix and Raven and Kite appear by Phoenix's side while Harrier picks up a small knife from the bar and turns to the group.
"I warned you to watch your tone with me. And now you have insulted my mother and my father. You asked me who I am. I am Aydan Lynch, sole heir to the Lynch Family fortune, and you will be lucky to survive tonight with what you have said."
Gokudera's father straightens up automatically and he holds up a hand, calling his men off.
"The Lynch Family you say? That's impossible. The entire family is said to have been massacred."
Phoenix jaw clenches at the mention of her families murder.
"Yes well the assassins missed the small girl hiding in the closet." She punches the man again. "And you would do well to never mention that day again." Phoenix grabs the front of Gokudera's fathers shirt and pulls him down into a low bow. "Do you understand me?"
Gokudera's fathers men suddenly motion to grab Phoenix and her team when a voice suddenly calls out.
"Stop it!" Everyone turns to look at Gokudera. "Just…fucking stop it." He walks over to where Phoenix still has his father pulled into a bow and looks down at him.
"I told you I never wanted to see your face again. And now you show up and insult my girlfriend and her family." Gokudera begins to shake with anger and Phoenix places her free hand lightly on his shoulder. "You bastard! I hate you!"
Gokudera's father slaps Phoenix's hand away and straightens up, patting down his tux. Gokudera turns around and refuses to look at his father as the older Italian man steps back to allow his men come between him and Phoenix.
"Ti ho smepre volute al mio fianco, Hayato." The man looks back to Phoenix and smirks. "Ora io voglio pure."
Gokudera quickly turns around.
"You wouldn't dare!"
His father turns around and begins to walk away.
"Ciao….Hayato."
Phoenix takes the knife from Harrier and strides forward, getting in front of Gokudera's father and grabbing his wrist.
"A reminder never to mess with my family." She pulls the blade across the man's wrist. "And a reminder to never mention my families deaths again." She makes a second cut and pulls the man closer. "Non potrò mai stare al tuo fianco."
She presses the knife deeper into the man's flesh before dropping it on the fool and walking back to Gokudera. She grabs her drink off the bar, drains it, and orders another.
