After an actual night of proper rest, I almost didn't wake up to my alarm. It felt like forever since I was able to sleep properly well since I started working with the city's villains any way. I dressed slower than when I had a massive hangover at Lutz's place… or it was just lack of fearing a guy seeing me naked slightly. He may be more into men this year, but he still has a thing for women. I was about to work on my hair when someone started to knock on my door. I debated whether or not someone I knew was actually coming by this early in the morning, but I was honestly too tired to tell. I looked through the peephole and was met with a familiar face.

"Crimson? Why are you here this early?" I didn't get an answer. He just walked in handing me a drink and made his way to my office. I watched him disappear behind the corner confused. "... Hello to you too. Oh, sleep? it was great! What about you? Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. You want in my office? Yeah, go ahead hope you like Floren file. See you in a bit!"

I sipped on my coffee annoyed. At least I'm awake now. Who just comes in; with no words, a gift, and walks off to your work area? God that man really has his moments I swear. I made my way into the kitchen giving up on my hair, for now, to eat my annoyance away for a bit. I sighed in relief noticing that I still had a few mixed berry muffins. I looked around my kitchen a bit. My eyes landed on my fire alarm. I held my drink and a thumbs up at it as a thank you to Switch for telling the boys my favorite drink.

"You know your hair is a damn mess right, Angela?" I looked over annoyed as Crimson finally spoke that morning.

"So now you talk huh? Also, I'm sorry someone interrupted me while I was fixing it then ditched me to do who knows what… Thank you for the drink by the way!" He lifted his hands in a pathetic pretend defense gesture. I'm as scary as a marshmallow his very words.

"Damn It still surprises me how moody you are in the fucking morning. Sorry as you said I was looking over the kids file… Also, you're welcome anything for you, Angela." I grumbled not in the mood to hear him repeatedly mess up my name.

"Find what Switch needs?" He was only allowed to answer when my muffins finished. I held a finger up to silence him till I finished eating one. I saw his eye twitch slightly from the corner of my own. He's keeping his temper better than normal grand. I brushed my outfit off sending him a forced smile. "Continue!"

"... Yes… I got enough info." He clenched his jaw in frustration and left for my living room. I smiled in victory happy to get my payback for his rude behavior.

"By the way are you hungry Crimson?" I only heard a few small grumbles before he finally answered me.

"No… How about you come eat your damn muffin in here so I can fix the fucking bed head you have?" I groaned internally at the statement. I'm not the only one in a mood apparently. I didn't fight his request though. I'm still pretty tired honestly. Plus he already prepped for it, and I rarely win fight with him.

"Thanks… Why do you know how to do hair again?"

"I have an annoying ass twin sister remember?"

"Oh yeah, the hero right?" He hummed softly as an answer while he gently brushed my hair. Like I've said before he's honestly a soft guy. "So how does that work? Does she know her brother are villains?"

"No… She almost caught on to Ink once, but she doesn't know a thing… We stay away from her sector as much as we can." I was really confused by the sector part. I must have showed it with a movement because he slowly straightened my head. "Let me guess didn't know the heroes map out sectors were they patrol?"

"I thought the cops always called them?" He chuckled dryly at that.

"Those pigs don't do shit. Hero hides away in areas scooping for illegal activities. Those are the times Switch works the damn most. He tracks them through street cameras, and instructs everyone how to proceed under the hero's fucking noses." I was honestly shocked. What do you say to learning how our heroes actually work, and one of the cities biggest crime rings. We both just sat in silence after that; me in shook, him in concentration. "Your hair color has always been interesting to me… It's not just blond it's so much brighter than that…Yeah brighter"

"I uh, my adopted parents always said it was lemon color…" I mumbled embarrassed as he got lost in thought over my hair mid chat I guess. He managed to not stop fixing it no matter how deep he went into his mind though.

"Your eyes are your best feature though so gentle yet hypnotic and their unique col-"

"Okay, can you stop fantasizing about me it's getting weird!" I quickly covered my mouth worried my outburst went overboard. He was silent for a while, and his hands just sat sit mid twist.

"... Sorry… little sleep deprived won't happen again Angela." I let the name slide with how sad he sounded. "I'm done anyway come on let's go meet the kid."

Our walk to the hospital was nothing but tension from my outburst. I still don't fully know why I did that. He was just complimenting me… Well, he was really describing two features he thinks stick out most about me physically. Maybe I'm just so use to fake flirting real compliments don't seem real anymore. He hasn't looked at me through the whole walk, and he's keeping more distance than normal. He gives me mixed feelings. On one side I want to know him more because he feel closed away begging for help, but at the same time, I get cold chills and feel unsafe depending the day he's around. I hate it! I want my mind to pick one! This is so frustrating.

"We're here… Are you coming up with me?" I squeaked hearing his voice after so long. He looked at me surprised before muffling a laugh behind his fist. There was the stupid warm feeling again this is so annoying.

"I have to guard the room remember?" He just continued to chuckle as he made his way to the elevator. I followed a few steps behind giving myself a pep talk. "Just do your job Via… Besides he's a villain you don't feel whatever drunk you did or saw about him… Nope, not a single bit this is just works."

"Are you fucking coming or not? I can't hold this stupid door forever Angela." I rushed into the elevator and sighed stressed. I'm not me around this man, and I hate it. Over the phone is fine but in person… ugh, what is wrong with me! I glared as the speaker started to play If Only by Dove Cameron. The irony was literally painfully. "Something against love song? Thought you'd be all fucking over them?"

"Normally I love pop, but I don't feel good so it just makes me feel worse right now." I half lied. He looked at me confused but shrugged it off. I silently prayed for this day to just hurry and end. I almost cheered with joy when the elevator dinged telling us we made it to the floor. He made his way to the room number without a word. I stood outside the room and sighed in relief to feel a little bit normal again with him behind a door.

"So… you're only four huh?" I perked up slightly hearing some of the talk.

"Yeah… Don't treat me like a baby though!"

"Pff you wished for me thinking I do that bullshit? You had a reason for the wish so spit it out." There was silence after that well paper movement could be heard being uncrumbled but that's it. "I don't normally take requests you know… but this one I'd fucking love to do."

"Thank you… They weren't great, but losing them still made me sad. I read about all the big guys you take down, and well I thought this fit with your work… Thank you so much." Everything negative from earlier melted away as I just listened to them talk. Crimson held his word and didn't treat Floren like a child, and Floren enjoyed being listened to fully for once. It was pretty cute honestly.

"Well my hours up kid…"

"Oh… Thank you again… I… This was the most fun I had in a while." There were a few whispers I didn't hear, but I assumed they were nice enough. When Crimson walked out he looked like a different person. He looked relaxed and like he had a real small smile on his face.

"Have fun?" He sighed happily and pulled me into a tight hug.

"That was amazing… Thank you for letting me do this… I needed it so bad." I was stunned by his honest statement. He sounded like he felt nothing but relief from his hour with Floren. I sighed softly and hugged him back tighter.

"You're welcome. I wish you could of done it again…" He released me and made his way to the elevator.

"Don't worry. I will" I was confused by his statement, but didn't question him. Leaving the hospital, and heading home was a much better trip than on the way there. I still didn't understand what he meant by what he said before we left. Another weird thing happened a few weeks later. I got a call over Floren which in my job normally meant the child passed, but this was different.

"Wait! WHAT HAPPENED?"

"I know I'm shocked too Ms. Island, but it's true. Someone adopted him, and transferred him to a different hospital where he's getting every treatment he needs shockingly no matter the cost." I stared down at his file shocked. This never happens… Now I can't sneak Crimson back in like I planned. He enjoyed meeting his little fan so much.

"I uh… Do you know the hospital?"

"Classified… With a note saying that even you can't beat the firewall… weird."

"Well is there a name to who adopted him?"

"No Ma'am all we have is his last name is now Talia."

"I… Okay this is great, thank you for the news, Ma'am." I groaned annoyed as I start to call Crimson on the special phone.
