A few days later…
Black Dragon Headquarters…
It was a busy day as usual in the Black Dragon headquarters. Some Black Dragons were using the many advanced computers at Headquarters. They were studying data, doing research or doing security monitoring. Some Black Dragons were engineering cybernetics, some were testing out weapons. Some were training and sparring, like Wyatt and Kano.
Wyatt did a flying cannonball at Kano. However, Kano blocked his attack and gave him a powerful uppercut. Wyatt landed hard on the ground. He groaned in pain. Kano smirked.
"Is that the best you've got? Pathetic." said Kano.
Wyatt sat up, wiped his mouth and quickly stood up. He charged at Kano with a punch, but Kano was able to block his punch. Wyatt quickly did a kick sweep and Kano fell to the ground. Wyatt was about to do an elbow drop, when the door of the training room opened. Norah and a few Tarkatans walked in. Kano stood up.
"Sorry to interrupt." said Norah, who put her hand on her hip.
"Wyatt must be happy that you interrupted." said Kano, smirking. "You just interrupted me from kicking his ass."
Kano looked at Wyatt and smirked at him. Wyatt rolled his eyes and chuckled.
"I see we have visitors." said Kano. He went up to Meyoro, one of the Tarkatans. Kano stretched out his arm for a handshake. Meyoro shook his hand.
"Meyoro is it?" Kano asked, shaking his hand.
"Yes." said Meyoro, his voice deep and intimidating.
"Thanks for coming all the way down here to meet us." said Kano.
"Well, you said that you have a beneficial proposition for my people." said Meyoro. "Given your reputation and how powerful the Black Dragons are…I decided whatever your offer is could favor the Tarkatans. So Kano, what is it that you and the Black Dragons want from us?"
Kano smirked.
"I want us to be allies." said Kano.
"The Tarkatans? So that's who Kano wanted to team up with." Wyatt thought to himself.
The Tarkatans looked at each other in surprise.
"Allies?" Meyoro asked.
"Yeah. The Black Dragons are gonna take over all the realms. And I want the Tarkatans to help us." Kano said.
"And why would we help you?" Meyoro asked.
"Well, after we rule all the realms, you'd want to be on our good side, wouldn't you?" Kano asked, smirking. "I know that ever since your leaders Baraka and Mileena were killed, the Tarkatans have been greatly weakened. Without Baraka and Mileena, your people have no great leadership…no protection. No one fears or respects the Tarkatans anymore. Your kind has been driven out of Outworld by Kotal Kahn. Ain't that right?"
Meyoro growled, angry at Kotal Kahn for all the things he did to the Tarkatans.
"I on the other hand, respect you Tarkatans. You lot are not to be messed with. You're quick, you're ruthless, you're deadly…just like us Black Dragons. We have a lot more in common that you think." said Kano. "Work with us, and we can strengthen the Tarkatans…make you guys stronger and more powerful than ever. We can make each other better. So, what do ya say eh? Wanna be buddies?"
Meyoro looked at his people and they nodded at him.
"You were right Kano…this is a beneficial proposition indeed." said Meyoro.
"So we have a deal then?" Kano asked.
"We have a deal under one condition." Meyoro said.
"And what condition is that?"
"We want to seek revenge against Kotal Kahn. We want to kill him, but not just kill him. We want to capture him…torture him…then we will publicly execute him in front of all his subjects in Outworld. Wouldn't that be a satisfying revenge? Overthrowing and killing the Emperor of Outworld…him facing humiliation before he dies. Help us kill Kotal Kahn. Help us avenge Baraka and Empress Mileena. If you help us do that, then we will be honored to be allies of the Black Dragons."
"It's a deal then." said Kano, smirking.
Kano and Meyoro shook hands.
The next day…
10pm
Cassie was in the kitchen of her condo. She wanted to make sandwich and watch a movie. It was a Saturday night, and Cassie didn't feel like going out. She decided to relax at home. Cassie put a plate on the kitchen counter, then went to the fridge. She held a butter knife in one hand and opened the fridge with her other hand. She was looking around the fridge, trying to figure out what to put on her sandwich.
"Do I want ham or turkey? Where's the mayo? Shit, I hope I'm not out of mayo. I'm too lazy to go to the store tonight." Cassie said to herself.
It felt so weird not having Jacqui as a roommate anymore. She definitely missed Jacqui, but she was happy for her and Takeda. Although Cassie missed her best friend, it was nice to have her own space.
As Cassie was looking through the fridge, her senses suddenly became alert. She sensed someone was here. She wasn't alone. She gripped the butter knife and slowly closed the fridge. She turned around and did a roundhouse kick, but someone grabbed her leg, preventing the attack.
"Woah, Cassandra, relax! It's me!" said Wyatt, holding her leg.
Cassie looked at him in surprise.
"Wyatt?! What the fuck? What are you doing here?!" Cassie exclaimed, releasing her leg with from his grip.
"Can't a friend come by and say hello?" Wyatt asked, smirking.
Cassie narrowed her eyes at him.
"You've known where I've lived all along, haven't you?" she asked.
"Yeah." said Wyatt, smirking.
"You fucking pervert!" Cassie yelled, shoving him. "What the fuck? So what, have you been like stalking me? Oh I'm sorry 'observing me?' Have you been watching me in own home? Have you been watching me sleep? Shower? And now you think you can just sneak in here and act like it's okay?"
"Woah, woah, woah Cassandra, take it easy!" said Wyatt, protecting himself as Cassie was trying to punch him.
"Fucking stalker!" she yelled.
"Cassandra, I knew where you lived but I wasn't watching you in your condo! I swear I have never watched you shower or change clothes or sleep! I've never peeped! I swear! I might be a mercenary but I'm a gentleman!"
"Liar!" she yelled, throwing another punch.
"Cassandra come on! You know me better than that. I would never do that to any woman and certainly not you. I swear I have never peeped. I swear on my mother's grave."
Cassie stopped punching and looked at him. For him to swear on his mother's grave, then she knew that he was definitely telling the truth. And he was. Wyatt helped Cassie escape from the Black Dragon headquarters. After she escaped, Wyatt couldn't stop thinking about her. He was so intrigued by her that he started following her. He followed her to the pier and also saw her walking into her condo. But he had never, ever peeped on her in her condo. He was a gentleman who respected women and he would never do that.
"You could have just knocked you know." said Cassie. "Why'd you have to sneak in, you idiot?"
Wyatt chuckled.
"I didn't know if your parents or your Special Forces' friends would answer the door." said Wyatt, smirking. "I didn't want to risk getting attacked and arrested."
Wyatt came up to Cassie, wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her to him.
"Besides…" he said, gently holding her chin, "…sneaking in is more fun."
Cassie was panting. She had butterflies in her stomach. She was breathless. They stared into each other's eyes.
"I could stab you with this knife right now." said Cassie, breathlessly.
"But you're not going to…" said Wyatt softly, placing his lips on hers, "…are you?"
"Damn you Wyatt…" said Cassie.
They kissed passionately…roughly. Cassie dropped the knife to the floor and wrapped her arms around his neck as they continued to kiss. They were moaning as their lips and tongues touched. Cassie hurriedly took off his shirt and Wyatt took off her tank top. Cassie jumped on him and wrapped her slim legs around his waist. They kept on passionately kissing as Wyatt carried her to the bedroom and laid her on the bed. Wyatt kissed and caressed her. He kissed her neck and kissed her from her breasts to her abs. She moaned in pleasure as she felt the touch of his lips. She smiled and then without warning, she rolled him over. Now she was on top of him. Wyatt smiled and she kissed and caressed him as well. Wyatt moaned in pleasure as she kissed his neck, his chest, his abs. She unbuckled his belt and pulled down his combat pants and his boxers. She smiled when she saw his equipment. The first day they met, Cassie insulted him, saying that he had a tiny weiner. Boy was she wrong. Cassie took off her bra and Wyatt stared at her beautiful breasts. He pulled her to him and they continued kissing. Wyatt pulled down her shorts and her panties. They continued kissing...caressing and then...they made love.
Don't need permission
Made my decision to test my limits
'Cause it's my business, God as my witness
Start what I finished
Don't need no hold up
Taking control of this kind of moment
I'm locked and loaded
Completely focused, my mind is open
All that you got, skin to skin, oh my God
Don't ya stop, boy
Somethin' 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout
Nothing to prove and
I'm bulletproof and
Know what I'm doing
The way we're movin' like introducing
Us to a new thing
I wanna savor, save it for later
The taste of flavor, 'cause I'm a taker
'Cause I'm a giver, it's only nature
I live for danger
All that you got, skin to skin, oh my God
Don't ya stop, boy
Somethin' 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you
All girls wanna be like that
Bad girls underneath, like that
You know how I'm feeling inside
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout
All girls wanna be like that
Bad girls underneath, like that
You know how I'm feeling inside
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout
