I looked over all the notes I had, but none of it was leading me to anything. I still had no way of contacting Fatal Carnage. It's like he never leaves his house unless it's to murder someone. Switch still has a while before he can actually give me the information I needed. I wiggled around trying to get comfortable. It was hard since I was still healing.
"Hey, sugar do you need anything in there?" I winched looking in the direction of the talker. I looked over at my nightstand noticing my water was gone.
"Uh, Can you get me some water, Lutz?" I weakly picked up my phone to see if I had any messages. Lovino's been doing daily text to make sure I'm safe while staying with Lutz for a bit. The answer is always the same, but an overprotective cousin isn't something that goes away. After sending a positive response to Lovino, Lutz walked in with another cup of water.
"Sit up I need to check your bandages." I forced myself to do as he asked. He was thorough in making sure everything was clean and bandaged back upright. "Well, sugar looks good. You should be able to go home in a day or two."
"Thanks for doing this for me. I'm sorry for taking up your time Lutz…" He rolled his eyes and gently flicked me in the head.
"Hush. You're always welcome around me… You help me see there was more to what I do. However… I'm surprised you chose to stay with me over the brothers."
"I trust you more than anyone… Plus stuck with Luciano for days would not be well for my mental health… Or heart honestly. Remuno also said he didn't think it would be wise for me to stay with them yet anyway." Lutz rolled his eyes and gathered any empty dishes.
"You'll stop lying to yourself. Eventually, you'll admit your feelings to yourself. Let's hope it's sooner rather than later so you don't regret anything." I just rolled my eyes. He thinks I don't already know that. I just can't overthink all the cons that would come with dating Luciano so I just can't admit anything to him apparently without something dulling my mental state.
"Would if I could Lutz… By the way, do you know when Luciano and Switch will be done with their mission?" He hummed in thought as he left. The only answer he gave me was a wink. I just stared at the doorway feeling overly done. I can't wait to get back to my own house and finally be free of Lutz for a while. Lutz didn't return after he left so all I could really do was look over the child's folder again to try and understand why he'd want to meet this demonic man. He seems like a sweet guy about fourteen years old, and his name is Edison. His main reason for wanting to meet Fatal Carnage is because he shows Hispanic media… It's not good media honestly any other person would benefit meeting other than him, but I'm not here to judge a child's wish. I was almost done with the file when rapid banging on Lutz front door rang through the apartment.
"Oh, your mission's over she was as-"
"Is she in the room still!" I perked up hearing Luciano madly cut Lutz off.
"Uh, Yeah? What did she do to offend you?… I'm worried about actually letting you back there with that tone." It was silent for a bit but there was a tiny struggle till Luciano stormed into my room looking just as mad as he sounded. Worst was it seemed to be a calm angry. "I swear if you hurt her I'll make sure you won't leave here walking!"
"We need to talk about the request you made to Switch Via." I swallowed nervously. He rarely calls me by name, and only does when he wants to fluster me, is panicking, or just overly angry. He slammed the door shut staring me down. I scanned the room for any exit I could force my injured self to achieve. He sat in the chair closest to my bed not taking his eyes off me the whole time.
"W-What request… I… I'm almost fully healed so d-don't try anything please." A little flash of regret crossed his eyes before anger ate it away.
"It's not me that you'll have to worry about. It that… That animal you're trying to get intel on that you should worry about." Oh… He's angry because he's worried. That makes some sense I guess.
"I… It's my last wish I have to make. He hasn't ever hurt any children so that's all that matters to my boss. He want the villain work over this, and fast." Luciano clenched his teeth, but slowly loosened his jaw after a few breaths. He flexed his fingers a little then gently cupped my face rubbing soft circles into one of my cheeks.
"I don't care what your sexiest boss says… This won't end well I know it won't. I've worked with Fatal… It still haunts me Via so please listen to me." I tried my best to look away from him, but it was hard when he held my face to look at his. "Please I don't beg you know that, but I'm begging you not to do this… I… I don't want to see you almost die again."
"I… Sure I won't do this wish." A gave him a fake smile while I lied through my teeth. I'm sorry Luciano. I don't know why you care about me so much, but I can't do as you ask. This is my job and I won't stop till every child that hits my desk is happy. I'm sure Switch won't mind lying for me. I mean he's come to two rescue mission just hidden in clothes head to toe.
"Thank you, Angela… Thank you so fucking much." Luciano hugged me gently which just hurt my heart. This criminal cares so much, but I still can pay him back with anything.
"...Well, how have you been besides today's news?" He sighed contently and leaned back in his chair.
"Great… Ren's finally done with those damn treatments, and happy to have an actual fucking home." I looked at him confused till it hit me what Falicia said their last name was.
"Oh my god… YOU WERE THE ONE THAT ADOPTED HIM? WHY WOULD YOU HIDE THAT FROM ME?" His eyes widen as my outburst startled him enough to fall backward in the chair. Honestly, I almost laughed at the sight.
"Shit… That fucking hurt, damn Angela!... Oh fuck I forgot I never told you that." I winced as he slowly stood back. He choose to just sit at the foot of the bed this time. "Yeah… I adopted him. He fucking loved the idea. I saw a little of myself in him so I didn't want him to be alone anymore… He likes to ask about you a lot… What to come see him when you're better?"
"I uh sure… That okay wow that's… I didn't expect that one." I was honestly at a loss for words. I knew Luciano was soft, but it never occurred to me that he'd managed to be this soft. It's sweet in a way plus I'd get to meet one of my kids that made it. Luciano stayed for a while actually most of it he just spent talking to me while the last few minutes he probably spent threatening Lutz over my well being. I still feel bad for what I'm going to do behind his back, but the job has to be done in some way.
I sent Switch a quick text asking for all the data he could dig up. It wasn't much more than I found, but it would get me further at least. Switch was a little annoyed that I was making him keep it a secret, but he also knew why I was after what Luciano put him through earlier that day. I sighed deeply feeling even more guilt way on my chest. I slowly wrote out a plan on how I'd find Fatal Carnage and everything I would say to try and convince him into helping me make this teen happy.
"I'm so sorry… This is what I have to do." I mumbled looking up at the ceiling.
I waited for the Lutz to finally send me home before I put my plan into action. No one had seen this monster around much, but those that did normally saw him in the same place. A very well known club. A place I'd never go to, and highly doubted I had anything that would fit the scene clothing-wise. Switch somehow managed to help me with that too. So all that was left was really just finding the guy in said place. I hated it honestly; the music was too loud, I felt like my dress would expose me any moment, and the men in this place were worse than at Lutz's bar. I elbowed a few of them in the stomach already honestly. I was so close to leaving when I spotted the man of the hour watching some orange-haired chick pole dance. I nervously approached the apparent giant of a man. He somehow made Lutz look short, and he's 5.11. The moment he spotted me the sickest smile claimed his face. It was like I was prey to a beast which I probably was if the stories were anything to go by. I was going to introduce myself, but he cut me off before I could start.
"Aw has someone finally wished for the best Villain in town! I've heard about you women, and I honestly assumed you'd have more on… You're kind of tiny." He grumbled out darkly as he poked my side. I stepped back in defense already getting a bad feeling from this whole talk.
"I… Yes sir someone made a wish to see you before their passing." He licked his lips as he scanned me over. If it wasn't for Edison's wish I would be running right now.
"That's just cute someone thought I'd give a damn about seeing bratty fans. Boy, you even have a tiny voice a true little bitch huh?" I clenched my jaw at his insults. Maybe the others were right, maybe this is a bad idea. I just assumed he'd do it since he's never harmed a child.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Seems this was a mistake honestly." I mumbled moving to leave, but he grabbed my arm pulling me close to his body. I couldn't tell if his little find was happy about me or the orange-haired girl, but I really hoped it wasn't me. Unlike with Lutz, and Luciano this touch yell just danger all around.
"Ah no, you don't. I'll visit the kid, but you gotta do something for me first." He whispered close to my ear nipping at it. I felt sick the closer he was. "Your body looks like the perfect tool for the job."
"I don't use it to get what I want so no takes to the agreement," I whispered softly. I have a feeling he'll do something whether I agree or not.
"Oh? So the great Villainous Wisher will lose that zero fail rate with ringing us into being pathetic listeners. I've read up on you bitch I know that's going to crush you." No matter what he says none of that would convince me to what he wants, but I'm here now and my chance of leaving safe is very low.
"You don't know me like you think. I care about my body more than a stupid title!' He grumbled pressing me into a wall with his body. He got really close to my ear and licked it.
"You can think what you want bitch. Just remember I can either do as I please against this wall, and not see your brat or you let me take you home which means I do see the kid." A took a shaky breath. I'm no way near being a virgin… plus he'll see Edison. Please don't let this be horrible.
"...You… You'll see Edison if I do this?" He chuckled darkly rubbing my thigh with his free hand.
"You know. Let me fuck you like the little bitch you are, and the kid gets to meet big bad Fatal Carnage." I took a deep breath, and look back to see sickly colored olive drab eyes. I never did like green colors.
"F-Fine…" He hummed softly as he dragged me out of the club.
"That a girl knew you'd see to reason. Everyone says you're good about it. Another rule don't bitch any unless it's a plea for more till I'm done with you." Any guilt I had before coming here was replaced with complete dread. He just shoved me into his back seat. I just laid in wait hating myself more than I ever had in my life. The drive was long so I had enough time to disconnect myself from the present. So my body was kind of just on autopilot till he shoved me back out on his porch with my shoes in one hand and my purse in another with nothing else. Since I think he ripped up everything else the moment he could.
I bit my lip roughly to keep whatever tears wanted fall in. I did this to myself so I really shouldn't have the nerve to cry over it. I winced as I tried to walk down the stairs. I hurt in several areas, and I probably had new scars that will be in the form of teeth marks. My wrist and ankles were raw so flexing or moving them almost made it to where I wouldn't mind sleep where I stood, and foregoing anymore moving I'd have to do. I was at his gate when someone in all black ran up it. I started to panic as they rushed to me.
"Oh, god Lutz, and Luciano are going to fucking kill me if they find out I helped you with this!" I backed away in fear not sure who it was. They sounded familiar, but I was too shell shocked to figure it out. "... Ms. Island, I'm not here to hurt you… I came to help you get home actually."
"Who… Who are you, and how do you know those names?" I questioned him in a shaky voice as I tried to cover myself with my purse. He quickly took his jacket off and wrapped it around me. I was more confused as he tugged a mask off. He seemed to be an Asian I think, but I was still drawing blanks.
"You actually know me well Ms. Island… I'm so fucking dead for helping you meet that dud… Let me get you home." I kept my guard up as he lead me to a kind of familiar black car. He helped me into his passenger seat then rushed to his side. "... My names Honda or Switch whichever you'd feel more comfortable within this frustrating moment."
"...Why do I always learn your names in bad situations? Luciano said you didn't wish to ever see me?" He glared at the road and gripped the wheel tightly.
"I don't like people… but you're actually an okay person no offense… Like the others I was worried so I've been tracking your phone since you were taken…" He zoned out slightly. "I failed to keep someone else from an assault… I speed the whole way here when I saw you leave the clue… I'm so sorry."
"It's fine… I asked for this… it was there or in public. I didn't like it, but I have some pride still. At least Edison will get his wish." I mumbled sadly towards the window.
"Ms. Island you didn't-"
"Don't tell the others… You still have to keep that promise!" I exclaimed more scared of what they will think of me after what he did than them feeling betrayed.
"But… God fine I'll keep my stupid word… How will you explain the marks?"
"Dog walking?" He looked at me like I was stupid which I don't blame him. After a bit, his face fell.
"I'll make it look like it's true… It's okay to cry Ms. Island it's understandable."
"What no I'm fi…ne" my composure just broke after that. I just curled into a ball unable to keep my emotions in control anymore. These last few months have been horrible every last second. I've lied to the only people that made it better so I just feel horrible. I was still crying when Switch stopped in front of my house. A few choked words and he stayed with me till I passed out from everything.
