Flashback: Truman University 1997
Angel hurried over to Asa when she saw him waiting at the opening to the running path, "You bring the blueprints?"
He pulled the old blueprint out for her, "You got a plan in mind?"
"Maybe… Look." She pointed, "There's an entrance near these running paths, near the old sinkhole that I found. One of us can go check it out from there while the other handles it above ground."
"That's good." He nodded, "We can pinch this thing from both sides. Me from underground, you from above."
Angel frowned, really not wanting to deal with the sorority girls any more than she already has, "You good with that?"
"I think you've been convincing as a pledge thus far." He smirked, "Unless you want me to go buy a blonde wig and switch places with you?"
"No, no…" She sighed, "I'll go. Just be careful, alright?"
"Same goes for you, blondie." Angel turned from walking away at that pet name and he grinned, "Let's play this smart."
She rolled her eyes, "Whatever you say, Agent Mulder."
When the sun was going down, Brittany instructed Angel, as well as the other new pledges, to dress in their red robes and get ready for the ceremony. Soon they were all following Brittany down the steps to the basement as she chanted in latin. She stopped in front of the locked door Angel came across before and turned to the pledges.
"It's time. This doorway is a portal. You stand here as pledges. You enter and become Kappas." Her eyes then met Angels, "Pledge… You may enter."
From beneath her red robe, Angel readied her knife and tensed for a fight.
Brittany motioned, "Open the door."
Angel's green eyes flashed to her momentarily before she hurried into the room. Instead of some mysterious monster, she was met with all of the other Kappa girls yelling 'Surprise' and cheering as they bounced up and down.
"What in the fu-"
"Congratulations!" Brittany walked in after the rest of the pledges, "You're all now full-fledged Kappas!"
Taking a breath, Angel pulled out her phone as she made her way out of the Kappa house. Asa answered on the first ring.
"Angel, tell me you got something useful."
"No. Asa, we screwed up somewhere. It's not the Kappas."
"Well, I don't know what the hell's going on, but I'm going to interrogate the Dean. You wanna-"
His voice was cut off by a pained grunt, followed by silence, "Asa? Asa? Hello, you there?"
A different man's voice was heard, gruff and irritated, "He don't like munchin on males, but he's sure gonna kill you slow and steady anyway. Shoulda kept your nose in your own business, boy."
Dread filled the blonde as she hung up the phone, "Christ."
Running out of the Kappa house and to the deans office, Angel dialed the only other person she thought could help.
"Yeah?"
"Uncle Bobby!: Relief flooded her, "Thank god."
"Angel? Well hey there darlin. How you been? How're the boys?"
"We're uh, good i guess. Same old, same old." Her breath was labored as she ran towards the dean's office, that being the only lead she could think of that could help find Asa, "I need your help on a case. Kinda stuck on it."
"What've you got so far?"
As she reiterated everything they've found so far, which wasn't much, she opened the door to the dean's office and gasped, "Crap."
"What?"
"Someone put a knife through the dean's neck, so I guess that lead's a bust." She scoffed, turning and running back out the door towards the woods, "What am I supposed to do now? Those tunnels run for miles."
"Maybe not… you said the only victims have been females? That their bodies were sucked dry without any evidence how?"
"Yeah… all except the guy that i'm working with but i think he got nabbed because we were poking around."
"These tunnels come to a head anywhere? Do they meet?"
"Uh, yeah. Yeah they do. A mile or so into the woods I think."
"Find that entrance and I guarantee you'll find your partner and the missing girl. If it's what I think it is, these things like wet caves near a food source of young women."
"Got it." After retrieving her weapons bag from the impala, she sprinted through the woods, "What am I fighting here Bobby?"
"They're called Kappas. They feed on young girls, using the nourishment from their bodies to trigger their healing process. The nourishment then seeps out of their skin and into the water they live in. You might be dealin' with a human who's using this thing for the benefits in the water it lives in."
"How do I kill it?"
"This thing's gonna have a head like a teapot. Knock the top off and the fluid should drain out of its head, killing it."
"Alright. Thanks Bobby. I'll call you after I'm done."
With Asa in the cave…
Asa groaned as he came too from the attack. When he tried to sit up he realized he was chained to a giant boulder behind him in some sort of underground cave with a pond in the middle of it.
"I didn't wanna underestimate you." Wayne, Truman Universitys head of campus security, knelt in front of him, "Professional courtesy and all."
"Thanks. I'm touched." He glared then his eyes landed on the missing girl he and Angel had been looking for, she was chained on the other side of the cave crying, "Scarlett! Scarlett, are you okay?"
"Oh, she's fine. She's fine!" Wayne yelled before getting up and walking closer to the small pond between them, "Yeah, maybe a little dehydrated, but that's the way he likes 'em. Easier to, um… get out all the good stuff. But you'll learn about that soon enough."
"He who? Someone else coming?" Asa watched him closely as he started to pick the locks binding his arms, "What, you not man enough to fight me yourself Wayne?"
"I'm not the violent type, no." He chuckled, "Unlike my hungry friend down there. Me? Well, I just like to watch."
Asa scoffed, "So you've just been… hunting these girls down and feeding them to your swampy little friend? Is that how this works?"
"Pretty much. I got no complaints."
"Why?" Asa watched as Wayne took a bucket and dipped it into the pond, "What's in it for you, Wayne?"
"Vitality. All the freshness he drains from the girls ends up in this water." He took a long swig from the bucket, "Mmm. I've barely aged a day since I found him starving down here in '42." He put the bucket down and made his way toward Scarlett, "You know, you wanna know the truth? The God's honest truth? I haven't even told my therapist this." He knelt down to a whimpering and frightened Scarlett, "That I would do it all just to see these privileged bitches scream."
"Don't touch her!" Wayne turned and smiled at that, "And I'm not exactly a privileged college girl, genius."
"No, you are a snoop, like Peretti." He got up as he explained, "Peretti started putting the pieces together, thought that you would, too, worried that you would blab and ruin this school's precious reputation. She actually ordered that these caves were to be sealed, 'just in case'." He scoffed as he unlocked and loosened a chain on the wall that led into the pond, "Well, that didn't end too well for her, did it?" He walked over an dbanged on a giant dome, "Dinnertime." Wayne grinned at Asa, "Well, I really wish I could stay here and watch. I really do. But… I gotta go find him a new victim for when he's done killing you. He's gonna be hungry." Wayne chuckled, "Maybe that new blonde transfer student?"
As Wayne walked out, the water in the pond started bubbling and Scarlett started screaming, "It's coming!"
"Scarlett?" Asa called as he was able to slip one hand from the chains, "Scarlett, it's gonna be okay. Hang on."
Back with Angel…
Coming up to the entrance of the cave, Angel saw Wayne stepping out before chaining and locking bars across the entrance. She waited until he was close enough before pistol-whipping him into unconsciousness. Hurriedly she grabbed the rope and tied him up to a tree tightly.
"Alright, stay down, creep."
Grabbing the keys from his pocket she ran to the entrance and unlocked it before sprinting inside. She saw Asa and the Kappa fighting at the other end of the cave. The Kappa had him pinned against the wall and was about ot overpower him. Asa had bloody scratches on one of his arms as the Kappas mouth elongated to try and feed off him.
Angel readied the shotgun in her hands before swinging it with all of her strength and hitting it over the head. It stumbled when the top of its head flew off and all of its green juices spilled out. When it dropped to the ground, unmoving, Asa gasped in air as he slid down the boulder he was once pinned up against.
"Is it dead?"
Angel kicked its foot with her boot before nodding, "Yeah, it's dead." Her eyes landed on the cowering girl in the corner and she ran over to her to unchain her, "Scarlett, are you hurt?"
"No." She hugged Angel tightly before looking back to Asa, "Thank you! Thank you both so, so much!"
Angel helped her up, "Okay, let's get you home." She flashed worried eyes to Asa, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, yeah I'll live." He got up flinching, "Just worry about her."
Later on…
A/N: Smut warning on this next part!
By the time they got Scarlett home, and turned Wayne into the police it was nearing two in the morning. Angel found herself patching Asa up in his own motel room because her brothers were sleeping in hers and she didn't want to disrupt them. She also had other things on her mind. Ones of the inappropriate nature as he sat shirtless in front of her.
"There." Angel sighed as she finished wrapping his arm, her hands lingering a few seconds more than they needed too, "You're good as new."
"Thanks." Asa smiled looking over her work as she cleaned up the supplies, "You know you didn't have to stay and do all this… I could've patched myself up."
"Don't mention it." She shrugged, getting up, "It's the least I could do for helping me out on this case."
He caught her hand before she could walk away, "Why don't you stay for a beer and we can wind down a bit?"
He knew it was a long shot getting her to stay, and that they both knew the beer was just an excuse. But this woman captivated him the moment she sent him on his ass in the woods. He'd be a fool if he didn't at least try.
"Sure." She smirked before walking to his mini fridge and retrieving two beers, "So…" Sitting down next to him she handed him the bottle before taking a drink of her own, "How should we unwind? Any ideas?"
"Got a few…" He smiled, "If you're interested."
Angel grinned at that before taking their beers and setting them on the table. She moved her leg over him so she was sitting on his lap and leaned down to bring him in for a kiss. As he deepened the kiss she bit his lip playfully, grinning as his hands tugged on her hair lightly.
Pulling back, she smiled at his groan, "Angel…"
She smirked as she started taking off her jacket and shirt, "Take your clothes off."
He listened, slipping off his already tattered t-shirt before crashing his lips to hers again. His lips tenderly traveled down her neck to her collarbone as his hands went to take her bra off. Once it was off, his lips made their way down to her breasts leaving a trail of marks. He took her nipple in his mouth, making a gasp escape her mouth as a shudder of pleasure came over her.
She gripped his hair hard, earning his attention before kissing him deeply again. She broke away again to trail her own kisses down his jaw. Before she could get further, he picked her up and walked over to the bed. Placing her gently on the bed, he captures her lips again. This time his hand traveled down her body to slip down the front of her pants and tease her.
Her breath hitched as her back arched at his touch. Her hips moved along with his movements. He just barely grazed his thumb over her clit making her groan.
"God, stop teasing me."
Asa chuckled but didn't speak. Instead, he leaned up and unbuckled her pants before sliding them down her legs. Leaning back down, he moves her panties aside and settles between her legs. She leans up on her elbows to watch him, Asas eyes meeting hers as his head dipped down. Shivers ran over her body as his tongue danced around her clit. His hands came around to secure her waist against him as her hands fisted in the sheets. Her hips rolled with him as he took his time savoring her, her whimpers becoming louder and louder. As her body tensed and twitched more and more he pressed his face deeper in her pussy and sped up until she unravelled all over him.
Angel whimpered as Asa grinned and kissed her thighs before working his way up her body again. He smiled as he kissed her again, this time slowly.
"I'm guessing that means you enjoyed yourself."
She grinned, "What makes you say that?"
He rolled his eyes playfully, "Ha ha."
As they kissed again, her hands went between them to unbuckle his pants, "Thought i told you to take your clothes off?"
Smirking he got up and shed his jeans and boxers as she slid her panties off. He stopped climbing on the bed momentarily to look around the room for something.
"I'm on birth control so come here."
Smirking, he abided, "Gladly."
Climbing over her, his cock teased her entrance as they both stared into eachothers eyes. She spread wider for him as he bottomed out into her. She clenched around him and he groaned, dropping his head into the crook of her neck as he rolled his hips slowly, picking up speed. She tightened her legs around him as he sped up, whimpers and moans matching his grunts and groans. Angel stiffened as her back arched again, her nails raked down his back as her orgasm slammed into her. Asa lifted his head to watch her come undone beneath him, the sight pushing him over the edge as well. He came hard above her as his entire body stiffened.
After a moment he collapsed beside her, bringing her into his arms, "God, you are one amazing woman, you know that?"
She giggled, "Thanks."
When she started to get up he caught her arm, "Where are you going?"
She raised a brow, "Back to my motel?"
"Why don't you just stay the night?" He looked over to the alarm clock on the nightstand, "It's already pushing four a.m., might as well catch some sleep here."
The offer was extremely intimate for Angel. Cuddling wasn't something she was used to doing with anyone. Hooking up? Sure. But cuddling and sleeping over was never in the package. Yet she had to admit, she wasnt totally averted to the idea when it involved him. Asa intrigued her, not to mention the guy's gorgeous.
Laying back down, she settled back into his side, "Fine. I'll stay for a few hours."
