Back Seat in the Back Streets

A haunting screech of rubber grinding over asphalt filled the night air as a car slid from one street to the next at speed. It snarled angrily as it fought to find some grip, before springing forward. Bouncing along the pitted tarmac as it went, lurching about with the grace of a drunken elephant as its driver fought to keep in control. Barely a moment or two later a second car, then a third and a fourth, committed the same manoeuvre as they all hounded after the first in hot pursuit.

Bullets aplenty barrelled down on the leading vehicle, lighting up the night with the erratic staccato of flaming gunpowder.

"Fuck me! Hold it steady, will ya?!" Revy growled as they were chased through the city.

She was leaning the upper half of her body out of the rear passenger window as she fired both her 'cutlasses' at their pursuers. Judging by the cursing that punctuated almost every other shot, most of her attacks were going wild.

"I can go steady, or I can go fast! Take your pick!" Eda spat, her hands gripping the steering wheel so tight her knuckles had turned white.

The nun didn't normally let the heat of enemy contact get to her, but driving wasn't her first skill. She wouldn't even be at the wheel at all had their driver not been shot right between the eyes just a few minutes ago. She'd had to jettison the body quickly out the door, and the wheel was still warm with blood.

"Fucking hell!" Revy swore as a road sign narrowly missed her head. She kicked the back of Eda's seat in annoyance. "Watch it, will ya Eda?!"

"You want to drive? Come up here and be my guest!" Eda snarled.

"Oh shut up and just get us out of here!"

"My, are you two always this annoying to work with?" The third person in the car, the sword wielding assassin Shenhua asked with a sigh.

She calmly ran a bloodied cloth over one of her razor sharp blades in the back seat next to Revy while the brunette waged all-out war out the window and the car lurched erratically through the city.

"Can it, Chinglish!" Revy spat.

"Just let me know when you're finished with your play time." Shenhua smirked, bringing her newly cleaned sword up to inspect. "Then I show you how a real professional gets work done."

Eda glanced up at her in the rear view mirror, and didn't like that dark spark in the assassin's eyes not one bit.

"Shut up!" Revy snapped. She aimed a kick Shenhua's way which the assassin parried with ease. "I won at Rock, Paper, Scissors this time, fair and square! You'll get your turn when I'm done!"

"I'll hold you to that, Twinkie." Shenhua shook her head softly.

Eda idly wondered how Revy and Shenhua could be so "amicable" after they'd come to blows while chasing down that forgery girl. Sure, she knew that in the cut throat life of Roanapur there was little to be gained from holding grudges against a fellow professional, but Eda didn't think she would be so quick to get all chummy with someone who'd tried to kill her not all that long ago.

A bullet crashed through the rear windscreen and barrelled through the front, missing Eda's cheek by a hairs breadth.

"Fuck!" Eda swore angrily, more annoyed at the fact that her view was now through a spider web of cracked glass than from the close call itself. "Will you hurry up and just kill these bastards!"

"The fuck you think I'm doing?!" Revy yelled.

Eda glanced up at the rear view mirror, seeing the cars were gaining.

"Not nearly enough!" She growled, jerking the wheel abruptly to one side to avoid careering them all into a parked van. The nun fumbled with her holster for a moment before bringing her pistol up onto the steering wheel, ready to use if needed.

"Fuck!" Revy moaned suddenly.

"You hit?" Eda called back, not daring to take her eyes off the road.

"Nah, just need to reload!" Revy was annoyed as she clambered back into the car. "Chinglish, you're up!"

"Finally." Shenhua drawled. "Just you watch, I get twice as many as you."

"Like fuck you will." Revy mumbled through the pistol clip held between her teeth.

As Revy had earlier, Shenhua moved to the open window on her side, but instead of clambering, she moved more like a panther or maybe a snake. The assassin swiftly pulled herself fully out of the car and moved up onto the roof. The haze of bullets that continued to harass the car moved up with her.

"She crazy or something?" Eda asked.

"Fucking batshit." Revy agreed.

Glancing up at the rear view mirror again, Eda saw their pursuers were even closer. One was heading left, the other right, while the third stayed behind as they looked to encircle them.

"Hope you've reloaded, they're right on top of us!" The nun warned.

Revy chuckled darkly, bringing both her guns back up to bear with menacing intent, one aimed towards each side window. "Bring it on, baby!"

A long series of heartbeats followed in relative silence, save for the rattle of gunfire and the roar of engines. Eda finally allowed the adrenaline to fully wash over her. The nun kept her attention on the road even as the two cars lumbered into view in her peripheral vision.

Primed and ready, Revy 'Two Hands' struck first, firing both her 'cutlasses' in a rapid staccato, one aimed left, the other right. At least a couple of men fell instantly, judging by the screams, though Shenhua could have been partly responsible for that.

Lead whizzed and cracked through the air on all sides. One round pinged off the steel steering wheel and flew into the fuel dial, narrowly missing Eda's hand.

"Fucking assholes!" Eda swore under her breath.

"Don't lose your nerve now, princess!" Revy was cackling.

"Fuck you, you raging dyke!" Eda snapped back.

That was about as much of a confirmation that the two of them had slept together that either of them had given, at least since the morning after the deed had been done. They'd just carried on as if nothing had ever happened between them. Revy hadn't made any move to address it, and so Eda hadn't either.

Revy just cackled some more.

Eda pulled her mind back to the present. She snapped her gaze to one side to assess the danger. Her mind worked quickly as she spotted a gangster levelling his gun with the back of Revy's head. The brunette had her attention on the opposite car, oblivious to her impending demise.

Barely thinking consciously, Eda slammed hard on the brakes. Everything lurched forwards all around, the enemy cars, Eda and Revy included. The bark of the gun rang out before a plume of stuffing splattered the front seat as the bullet found the headrest in front of Revy instead of her skull.

In the same moment, a horrid metal shriek sliced in through the roof of the car and dragged viciously like chalk on a blackboard. Eda suddenly found a razor sharp blade stabbing down through the roof of the car from above.

"What's the matter with you?! You try to kill me, whore?!" Shenhua's voice hollered from the roof.

Ignoring her, Eda brought her pistol up from the steering wheel and raised it to bear on the gangster who'd just tried to end Revy. With a flurry of three quick shots, Eda managed to nick him just under the ear with one round, sending him jolting to death in the seat of his car. A spray of crimson shot out over the seat behind him and the far window.

"Hey," Revy reached forward and tapped Eda's shoulder with the butt of one of her 'cutlasses', "nice one, princess."

"Don't thank me yet." Eda muttered. "Gotta survive this mess first."

"Well don't fuck about then, bring me level with the bastards!" Revy snarled, eager for blood.

"Aye, aye, captain." Eda found herself smirking as she eyed the rear view mirrors to find her target.

They slowed just a little, allowing the gangsters to readjust and bring themselves level again. A few times Eda was shunted from either side as they tried to throw them off the road, but she kept them going as Revy and Shenhua whittled their numbers down one by one.

Eda didn't see what happened next, but she heard the thin whistle of wires and of blades slicing through the air. The shattering of glass and the screams of pain and dying came after.

"Oh fuck!" Revy swore.

Eda didn't have time to question why. The whole world lurched around her as suddenly they were sent spinning with a bang. She tried to keep control of the wheel, but it tore through her grip. Then, before she could make sense of the scenes swirling past the windshield, the car slammed to a violent halt.

Pain rifled through Eda's body, and an explosion crashed over her senses from somewhere outside. The sudden cacophony of noise and movement robbed her of her most basic awareness, and for a sickening few moments she saw nothing but stars.

When she managed to pull herself together, Revy was there, leaning forward from the rear seats, gripping the nun tight by the shoulder and shaking angrily.

"Hey! Wake up! You better not be fucking dead, Eda!" Revy snarled.

"Like fuck I am." Eda groaned as she rubbed at her aching head. A pounding headache assaulted her in waves. "What happened?"

Revy let out a breath that might have been a sigh.

"Fucking Chinglish killed the driver, then they crashed into us." She swore, glancing back over her shoulder. "Look, just get the car moving again, Chinglish and I'll mop these pricks up."

"Wait, you're not-"

That was all the nun could manage to say before Revy had kicked her door open and was charging out into battle once more, guns already blazing with reckless abandon.

"Of course she is." Eda sighed.

She looked around herself to get some idea of the battle still raging around her. She spotted one of their pursuers' cars that had crashed into a van parked by the roadside. Now the two vehicles were a crumpled head of twisted metal and broken glass. Another of the cars had flipped and had skidded further down the road some fifty feet or so. The third was now the blazing wreckage that cast Revy and Shenhua as deadly silhouettes as they danced and ran rings around their opponents.

Turning back to the car she was sat in, Eda grimaced at the mess the crash had made of it. She only hoped that the damage wasn't as fatal as it looked. The bodywork was surely a mangled mess from the outside, and when she turned the key the engine spluttered and coughed like a chain-smoker.

"You fucking braindead retard, Chinglish! You damn near got us all killed!" Revy's yell reached Eda's ears over the cacophony of battle and the crackle of fire.

"Aww, Twinkie whore not used to things getting rough?" Shenhua taunted back with a cackle, the sound undercut by the deadly whistle of her blades slicing air. "Such a shame. You not survive long in Taiwan."

Revy only responded in a slurry of angry slurs, most of which had nothing to do with Taiwan for some reason.

In spite of the fraught tension in the air and the fierceness of the resistance, Revy and Shenhua spent little time in cutting down the last remaining gangsters. The sound of gunfire and singing blades fell away to the crackle of the burning wreckage at the side of the road.

Eda just about managed to get the car started again and pulled it back and away from the lamppost it had mounted in the crash and round towards the other two ladies.

"Hey, come on, better make tracks before the rest of them find us." Eda warned, smashing the last fragments of the broken window with her elbow to clear it away.

"Relax, Eda, ain't none of them know where we are now we've killed all these pricks." Revy muttered as she calmly reloaded her guns.

"Yeah, relax nun girl." Shenhua smirked, spinning her blades in a deceivingly casual manner. "There no one telling of this little party."

"Oh yeah? And I don't suppose any of them can look out of their fucking window and spot that giant plume of smoke you fucking morons made!" Eda angrily pointed at the still burning wreckage.

Revy and Shenhua both turned towards the beacon. The smoke was indeed climbing high into the sky. Although it was night time, the blazing cars beneath those dark clouds illuminated them clear enough to see for miles around.

"Well, that had fuck all to do with me!" Revy snapped back impetuously.

"Yeah, that not our doing, that their doing for bringing shitty driver!" Shenhua bristled, back straightening indignantly.

Eda would have loved to have had more of a go at them both, but then the screeching of fresh tyres reached all their ears as one, then two, then five new cars drifted into the far end of the street.

"Get the fuck in now, or I'm leaving you both behind!" Eda snarled, already revving the engine high.

Revy and Shenhua wasted no time arguing. They both jumped in just before Eda slammed her foot on the accelerator and sent them careering down an alleyway. She took them on a mazing run throughout the city, using every back street and shortcut she knew of to try and shake their hunters. Revy gleefully provided cover, snapping off shots from the rear passenger window like it was going out of style.

Eventually, the sound of car engines dwindled down to just the one, and Eda dared to lift her foot from the pedal a little.

"Think we lost 'em?" The nun threw her gaze about to each of the car mirrors, analysing every shadow and corner for any sign of threats.

"Oh yeah, they long gone by now, running back to their mamas with their tails between their legs." Shenhua smirked, once again cleaning her blades of fresh blood. "Pity we didn't stay and kill them all though, shame to leave any stragglers."

"We gave them a good beating." Revy chuckled cruelly. "With any luck, a few more of 'em will bleed out on the way home."

Eda threw a glance the brunette's way in the rear view mirror. "Don't go jinxing us now, will you Two Hands?"

"Relax, princess, we're well clear." Revy scoffed.

She reclined further back in her seat as if to prove the point, propping her feet up on the centre console by Eda's arm.

The nun elbowed Revy's feet away, which earned her a chuckle and a prod in the arm with one of those heavy boots.

Once finally satisfied that the coast was clear, Eda brought them to a stop in a secluded alleyway near the outskirts of the city, well away from any major hub of gang territory – which was harder than not in Roanapur, every square inch of the city seemed to belong to someone or other.

"Here, this should do." Eda murmured as she pulled the car to a halt. She didn't turn the ignition off though, just in case she couldn't get it going again.

"Oh yes, very picturesque." Shenhua drawled, voice dripping with sarcasm as she eyed the overladen dumpsters taking up the side of the alley.

Eda ignored her. "Going our separate ways here?"

"Fine by me, can sort out the cash tomorrow." Revy nodded.

"What, you drop me off in the middle of fucking nowhere?" Shenhua complained. "Some taxi service you are."

"Well, unfortunately for you, the Catholic Church doesn't do home deliveries." Eda smirked at her in the rear view mirror.

"Why don't you just fuck off, Chinglish?" Revy spat irritably. "You'll get your money so stop being a bitch. Fucking chinks."

"Aww, you better watch what you say whore, else I'll cut you cunt to cunt." Shenhua purred, eyes flashing dangerously.

Eda glanced up at the rear view mirror just in time to see a sword pointing at Revy's groin, before it swiftly rose to rest level with Revy's mouth.

"Yeah, whatever." Revy scoffed, casually batting the blade aside. "Like you know where the fucking cunt is even."

"Oh, you funny whore. Won't be laughing when I leave your ass as shredded meat on the sidewalk."

Despite her threat – and her displeasure at being dropped off in a secluded back alley – Shenhua duly got out, slamming the door roughly as she left the car. She ambled up to Eda's window and leaned down to peer back inside.

"Well, it's been fun. Try not to get yourselves killed now, or at least not before I get the chance to kill you myself, okay?"

Eda wasn't sure if it was an attempt at a joke or not. Neither she nor Revy laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. See you around, Chinglish." Revy waved her off dismissively.

"See you later, Twinkie whore." Shenhua smiled dangerously, and then turned that danger Eda's way. "And you, nun girl. Next time you drive, you better not pull that full stop breaking shit on me again, or I disembowel you though your tits while you watch, understand?"

Eda had no doubt that the assassin was serious. "Crystal." She drawled.

"Very good." Shenhua's smile turned friendly only on the surface. "See you later, bitches!"

Then, she was off, strolling away down the alley as if she'd just enjoyed a pleasant afternoon out shopping, swinging one of her blades around in wide, casual arcs.

"Friendly bitch, that one." Eda drawled as she watched the assassin strut away.

"Ain't that the truth." Revy sniffed a scoff.

"Why'd you even pull her into this again?"

Revy shrugged. "Eh, she's pretty handy in a fight," she begrudgingly admitted, "even if she is a complete bitch."

"Fair enough, I guess. I didn't think you had any friends anyhow." Eda smirked.

"Fuck off." Revy shoved her in the shoulder. "What do I even need friends for?"

"Can't imagine." Eda rolled her eyes.

They both knew that Eda wouldn't have even been out on this job had Revy not asked her for her help. Though the brunette's exact words were: 'Hey bitch, got a job that needs doing, you in? Yeah, you in.' Eda suspected that the same or similar went for Shenhua as well.

Eda idly realised that it was the first time the two of them had been fully alone that night. In fact it was the first time they'd been alone together since their one night stand. It wasn't the first time Eda and Revy had seen each other since then, but usually they'd had someone else for company as well, be that Shenhua, Revy's colleagues at Lagoon Company, or even just a street vendor.

"Whatever." Revy muttered, fishing in her pocket for a cigarette and a light. "Come on then, you gonna take me back home now or what?"

"Err, fuck off." Eda considered where they were and how far it was to Revy's place. It wasn't a ridiculous detour, but a detour nonetheless. "Didn't you hear? The Catholic Church doesn't do deliveries."

"Well, where the fuck you gonna drop me off then?" Revy demanded, leaning forward with a scowl.

"Nowhere?" Eda snorted, gripping the steering wheel once more. "I'm going home. You can jump out anytime you want."

"Fucking hell. Well, wait a sec then will ya?" Revy reached between the seats for the something up towards the passenger-side dashboard.

"What are you wanting now?" Eda asked with an irritable sigh.

"Just turn the engine off for a minute."

"Revy, what the fuck are-"

"Just do it!"

"Alright, alright." Eda sighed, but duly turned the engine off. "There, happy? Best hope I can get it started again, else we're both walking home."

"Glove compartment." Revy ordered.

"Wouldn't hurt you to say 'please', you know." Eda rolled her eyes at the brunette in the rear view mirror.

When it was clear no 'please' was forthcoming, she sighed and reached over to open the glove compartment anyway.

"This better not be some dumbass joke you've got planned." Eda shook her head warily.

"Just grab that bag will you and pass it over."

Eda reached around for the mystery bag blindly. There wasn't much in the way of light to work with in the alleyway, and the crash earlier had seemingly knocked much of the car's electronics loose so the compartment's light was out. Soon enough though, Eda's fingers curled around a plastic bag and pulled it free.

"What the fuck is it?" Eda asked, giving it an experimental, almost cautious heft.

Knowing Revy, it could have been anything between a bottle of whiskey and a military grade explosive.

Revy leaned forward to snatch it before chuckling. "Oh, you'll find out, princess."

Before Eda could do so much as raise an eyebrow, two strong hands had grabbed her and were forcibly dragging her into the back seats.

"What the hell!" Eda complained. "The fuck are you doing, Revy?!"

"Come on, you can't be this dense all the time now, Eda."

"Wait, is this-?" Eda laughed in spite of herself as she realised what was going on. "Hang on, are you for real? You're really gonna fuck me, right here and now, in this fucking alleyway?!"

"Err, yeah?" Revy scoffed like it was obvious.

Eda rolled her eyes. "Fuck me-"

"That's the plan." Revy snorted as she set to hastily stripping Eda of clothes.

"No, I mean- Fucking hell, Revy!" Eda glowered at her. "What the fuck is it with you and all this random sex, huh?!"

"What? I'm horny!" Revy scowled back. "And don't act like you're complaining at all."

"And what if I am?" Eda chortled, scowling a challenge as she batted Revy's hand away from her chest. "What if I don't want to fuck in some filthy backstreet alley? What if I don't want to fuck you at all, huh?!"

Revy suddenly swooped in to lean over the nun, putting her face mere inches from Eda's. Her eyes shone bright in the dark. In most other circumstances, it would have been menacing, dangerous, but the fire in the brunette's eyes promised something a lot more enticing than pain.

"You don't want it? Then tell me to stop." Revy murmured in a smirk, low and broody. "Go on then. Tell me you don't want this, and I'll stop."

Eda scowled back, yet her tongue stayed still. Her jaw clenched.

A rough chuckle. "See? You can't do it, can you?"

Revy returned her hands to work stripping Eda of clothes, scratching pale skin in an awfully familiar way as she pulled the skirt down.

And Eda just let it happen with nothing more than a glower.

"Fucking hell, Revy." Eda growled low in her throat.

Her fingers clung onto the battered and bullet holed upholstery of the back seat tightly, as much in anger at herself as she was just trying to cling on while Revy forcibly stripped her.

"You fucking love this. Might as well stop pretending you don't." Revy chuckled, marvelling at her handiwork as she ogled Eda's mostly naked body before her.

Eda risked taking her eyes off of Revy for a moment to glance out the windows. "If someone fucking sees us-"

"No one will fucking see." Revy rolled her eyes. "Who the fuck is gonna come down this random ass alley this time of night?"

"Oh, I dunno, some local fucking drug dealer or a bunch of crackheads maybe?" Eda drawled sarcastically as Revy leaned in to kiss and bite at her neck. "Someone just taking a piss?"

"Fuck sake." Revy drawled against her, the breath hot and impatient. "No one will see us. And if they do, I'll just fucking kill them for you. Happy?"

Eda wasn't happy about a lot of things. She could think of a million different ways she wasn't happy, and they all began with Revy. Fucking Revy. With her awful, obnoxious attitude and her psychotic, dumbass anger issues. God, she was such a bitch, and Eda hated wanting her touch again.

"Go on then, do it." Eda finally relented with scowl and a tut. "Just make it quick!"

"Fucking finally." Revy chuckled. "God, I knew nuns were repressed and all, but you take the fucking cake, Eda."

"Fuck you, you nasty whore."

"Temper, temper." Revy was unperturbed, her hands set to roaming the blonde's form freely. "They teach you to swear like that in your church?"

Eda finally let go of the backseat to reach up and cling onto her hair.

"Ah, fucking bitch!" Revy complained with a hiss as Eda pulled tight.

"Fuck you." Eda scowled.

Revy just chuckled back. "That the thanks I get for trying to get you off?"

Eda sniffed a snort, letting go of her hair for the time being. "You're doing a piss poor job of it so far."

"Oh yeah? Well how about this?"

Eda gasped, and almost cried out, as a bunch of Revy's fingers suddenly entered her and pushed deep.

"Fuck! I …" Eda started inanely, fists and feet clenching hard as her nerves were set alight all the way through her. Then her words failed her and she sighed instead, turning her head into the back of the seat. "Fucking hell, Revy!"

A rough chuckle from the brunette, and she leaned in to press hot kisses and bites to the underside of Eda's jaw once more. With one of Revy's hands pulsing inside of her, and the other pushing down on her chest to keep her steady, the nun felt pinned, like a gazelle in the lion's maw.

"You'll enjoy this, I guarantee it." Revy murmured between kisses and nips of her teeth.

"I fucking better do." Eda sighed, letting out a half chuckle for the first time.

Revy's attention faltered from the blonde for a moment and she glanced aside to find the bag she'd hidden away. She reached to snatch it up and swiftly pulled out a long, long shape.

"Wait, is …?" Eda broke off into a laugh when she saw it. "Fucking hell, is that your dick, Revy?!"

"'Course." Revy smirked without shame as she wrapped the dildo's straps around her waist. She did it with a swift deftness that spoke of a lot of practice. "Got the biggest dick in Roanapur, me."

"God, you're so fucking stupid." Eda let out a stupid chortle in spite of herself and rubbed at her face, wondering just how the night had ended up like this.

Yet again, she didn't bother to resist at all as Revy manoeuvred the tip to meet her. The nun let out a long hiss of a sigh as Revy entered her, and it was all too easy for her to just close her eyes and forget there was any steel or glass involved at all.

The first few pulses were shallow and slow, just toes wading in the waters, until Revy pushed in further and kept on pushing up to the hilt.

"Ah! You fuck!" Eda half laughed, half moaned as Revy's length plunged deep within her.

"Oops." Revy chortled with a smirk, not at all sorry.

Her next thrusts were only a little shallower, but by god did they hit the spot. Strong and domineering, every plunge of Revy's hips to Eda's own drove the nun's nerves to newer and greater heights of bliss.

"Fucking hell, Revy …" Eda moaned, moving a hand up in her own hair while the other hungrily sought out Revy's chest. "Where the – Fuck! – fucking hell did you learn to fuck like this?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Revy teased with a smirk.

"Ah!" Eda practically melted as Revy pounded her to mush. "You – Ah! – fucking bitch."

Revy snickered, and leaned in close so they were face to face again. She kept up the pace and pressure, even as she moved to kiss and bite Eda's lips and neck and jaw with an eager fervour.

"Didn't expect you to give in so damn quick." Revy murmured against the nun's throat, every breath felt like fire on Eda's skin. "Thought you'd put up more of a fight."

"Oh yeah?" Eda's eyes flashed in challenge. "Disappointed?"

"Fuck no, knew you'd see sense at some point." Revy chuckled, she moved back a little to smirk in something like triumph at the blonde. "Only a matter of time."

"Sure." Eda drawled, tone heavy with sarcasm as she eyed Revy with a smirk of her own. "This where you tell me this is all this just practice? You- Ah! – You fuck your Rocky boy like this too, huh? Bet he likes getting pegged, don't he?"

"Shut up." Revy muttered, putting both hands on Eda's shoulders to pin her down to the seat. She reared up for the biggest thrust yet and didn't disappoint.

"Oh fuck! Have I touched a nerve?" Eda cackled, as Revy touched so many of Eda's in a delicious symphony.

She had no idea where the sudden burst of flippant self-assurance had come from, but it seemed to get a delicious rise out of Revy so she was determined to cling onto it at all costs.

Revy growled like a tiger as she swept in close again to glower in Eda's face. She put a hand to Eda's throat and squeezed it just enough. Eda let out a little whine of pleasure.

"Like fuck you have. You just like being my side bitch, don'tcha? Is that it?" Revy demanded.

Eda snorted and couldn't help but smirk right back. "Yeah right, I'm the best you're ever gonna get."

"You ain't even the best in this city." Revy was panting just as much as Eda now from the pace and the force.

"Like fuck." Eda scoffed. "Oh wait, let me guess: 'She goes to another school, you just don't know her', that right?"

"I ain't a dyke like you, bitch!"

"Then why you fucking me, cunt?!"

"Cause I just fucking wanna!"

Revy punctuated her anger with a flurry of hard and fast thrusts, pounding into Eda so hard it surely threatened to break the car's suspension out beneath them.

"Oh fuck!" Eda moaned, throwing her head back as her world dissolved into sheer carnal pleasure. "That makes no fucking sense, you retard!"

"Fuck you!" Revy growled, then she seized Eda's lips with her own in some kind of desperate kiss.

Eda damn near came right then and there. And try as she might to hold out, it was no use before the onslaught became just too much.

Eda cried out a ragged sigh of relief as Revy thoroughly thrashed the climax out of her. Her body quivered with each pulse of ecstasy, until finally she went limp from fatigue.

Satisfied with her work at last, Revy moved to sit back on the seat, pulling her strap-on clear of Eda unceremoniously. Eda was pleased that the brunette was panting as well at least.

They sat and lay there for a little while longer, both of them just catching their breath. They both just watched the other intently as they slowly returned to normal (or as normal as either of them could manage in Roanapur), savouring the sight of each other as if it would be their last chance.

Though Eda had thought that before.

Revy wiped at her sweaty brow and broke the silence first. "So, you gonna be able to drive me home now, or shall I drop you off?"

Eda slowly picked herself up from lying on the seat to glower at the brunette properly.

"What?" Revy drawled, a hint of a smirk catching her lips.

Eda made Revy drive while she took the passenger seat. She reasoned that it was the least the gunslinger could do after their unceremonious little hook-up. She buried down the actual reason in the depths of her mind – that she wasn't all that sure her legs would be able to work the pedals properly after such a fierce fucking.

If Revy had any suspicions as to Eda's true reasoning, she kept them to herself. In fact they barely spoke at all on the drive up to the church. The car radio sat between them playing songs in a language neither of them understood. They each had a cigarette – the nun had made sure to steal one of Revy's for herself this time – and Eda huffed on hers greedily as she ruminated on one simple fact.

Revy had planned to have sex with her. That much was certain to the blonde. It wasn't some spur of the moment, drunken mistake like the last time. The pre-planted strap-on in the glove compartment was evidence enough. Which told her that their one night stand wasn't so 'one night'.

Was Revy developing feelings of some sort for her? No, that didn't seem to fit. Was Eda just her outlet now, merely a quick and convenient way for Revy to get her kicks? Perhaps, but it had been quite a while since their first encounter. If the gunslinger was just using her to let off some steam, then surely she'd be clamouring at Eda's door every other day, living in such a chaotic and stressful a city as Roanapur. Though maybe Eda wasn't Revy's only such outlet.

Or perhaps she was just overthinking it and that it was just plain old casual sex, whenever, and wherever, Revy was in the mood.

Eda wasn't sure what was really going on, but what was most alarming about the whole situation was that Eda had actually enjoyed it. That was possibly the part that terrified her the most.

Soon enough though, they were winding their way up the hilly roads towards the Rip-off church that overlooked the city of sin itself.

"Here you go, home sweet fucking home." Revy smirked as she pulled the car to a stop. "You can go back to touching up kids now, or whatever it is you fucking nuns do all day."

"Sure." Eda drawled vaguely, not really listening.

Revy eyed her with a curious look. "Hey, you good? What's got your panties in a twist all of a sudden?"

Eda shook her head, returning to the present. "Nothing, just … thinking."

"Uh huh." Revy drawled. "Well, if you're expecting me to get out and open the door for you, you're fresh outta luck, bitch."

Eda snorted a chuckle and rolled her eyes. "Christ, your manners are completely shit, Two Hands."

"Yeah, whatever, sweet dreams now." Revy waved her off dismissively.

Eda opened the car door, then paused for a moment.

"Hey Revy?" Eda piped up before she left the car. She took one last drag before tossing her cigarette out onto the gravel.

"Yeah?" The brunette turned lazily her way.

Eda turned and leaned in to snatch Revy's cigarette and toss it away as well.

Then, before the brunette could so much as scowl, she went back in to crash her lips against Revy's, ignoring the sudden muffled bark of surprise from the gunslinger. The kiss was hot and hasty, sloppy and smoky, and yet somehow deliciously sweet.

The nun finished it by biting hard on Revy's lower lip, nearly hard enough to draw blood – Nearly, but not quite.

"Ah! You fucking bitch!" Revy snapped as she pulled free.

Eda eyed her with something of a guarded look. "That's payback, you know."

"For what? Giving you a good time?"

The nun considered for a moment.

"For being a cunt."

Rubbing her lip roughly, Revy snorted. She shrugged with a self-satisfied smirk. "Works for me."

Eda shook her head with a little smirk of her own. "Oh, and Revy?"

"What is it now, Eda?" The brunette rolled her eyes.

"If there is a next time, you better have a bed or a couch or something like that ready. That was the last time I'm ever fucking in a backstreet alley like some cheap fucking whore." Eda warned.

Revy snorted. "Yeah, whatever. God, you're so damn picky." She shook her head and leaned forward on the steering wheel, bored and ready to get home.

Eda shook her head again and pushed the door fully open to get up and leave. As she was stepping out, she felt, and heard, a familiar smack against her backside.

The blonde slowly turned and unamused glare at the driver.

"Sweet dreams, bitch." Revy flashed her a wink, already revving the engine.

"Fuck you, cunt." Eda flipped her off, but couldn't help but smirk back.

Then, with an altogether unnecessary roar of the engine, Revy kicked the car into gear and sped off, tires screeching as they went.

Eda watched her go for a moment. Then she shook her head and went to go inside and to bed.

The church was quiet and still, as it should be at such a late hour. Eda slowly pushed the great door of the chapel open, careful not to cause too great a noise and alert anyone.

"Out late again, Eda?" A sudden voice sounded out in the dark, signalling her failure.

"Ah! Fuck!" Eda jumped, before belatedly registering the voice. "Sis- Sister Yolanda, I can explain!"

"No need. I know enough." The elderly sister stepped out of the shadows and into the moonlight as the rays spilled in through the doorway. Her one good eye burrowed into Eda like a thousand needles. "You've been out with young Rebecca, have you not? On some little late night errand, hmm?"

It wasn't really a question.

"Yes Sister." Eda answered quietly.

Yolanda murmured something inaudible. "Take care that your friendship does not interfere with your work for the church, Eda. That is your primary calling after all."

Eda's jaw clenched a little at Yolanda's tone on the word 'friendship'. Was it just mocking and dismissive, or was it implying that she knew more than Eda realised?

"Understood, Sister." Eda bowed her head just a little: Enough to show deference, but slight enough to indicate that she would not just rollover like a meek little puppy.

The elderly nun smiled. In the sparse moonlight, it was even harder than usual to tell if it was serene or sinister.

"So long as you understand, then nothing more need be said. Goodnight, young Eda." Then Yolanda turned and ambled away.

"Goodnight, Sister."

Eda let out the breath she didn't know she'd been holding onto once Yolanda had left the room. She had no idea what Yolanda might think of Eda's and Revy's little trysts if she did know about them. One thing was for sure though, she didn't want to find out.
