Chapter: Operation Get Bent

A/N: Hey everyone! I know it's been a while but I'm back! Work and my personal life have taken a beating lately and I had been feeling burnt out at the end of each day. But I kept seeing people asking to see what's going to happen next and that just lifted my spirits. I'm flattered you guys get a kick out of this story so much.

So as my way of thanking you all I thought I'd treat you to an Alastor heavy chapter!

Jenny plans to get back at the Radio Demon but will her idea work?

Enjoy!

"And this is how we get back at him"

Jenny showed the group the last part of her plan to get back at Alastor. Some thought it was a pretty decent idea while others thought it was bad. And by others that meant Moxxie.

"Doesn't this plan seem a little bit…childish?" he asked.

"Oh, like you could have come up with a better plan?" Blitzo snapped.

Moxxie got defensive at the outburst. It was obvious that Blitzo was still pissed off at him for staying quiet about someone targeting Jenny.

"She wants to butt heads with the Radio Demon! There's no way her idea is going to work against him" he reasoned.

"It would be fucking hilarious to see him fall for something so stupid though" Angel Dust said.

Moxxie looked at the spider demon oddly.

"Why exactly are you here anyway?"

Angel shrugged.

"I'm bored and playing a prank on smiles sounds fun" he said.

"Don't worry about why he's here. The more help I have to make this work the better" Jenny said.

Moxxie looked at the human worriedly. While he understood where she was coming from with getting revenge on Alastor, he also felt like she was poking the sleeping bear by doing this. He might have smiled all the time but he was bound to get angry when he was provoked.

"This doesn't seem like a good idea. This might have worked with your exes but Alastor is an Overlord. Do you really want to pick a fight with him?"

Jenny had a numb look on her face. Everyone was telling her to stay away from Alastor, that he was dangerous, to not get him angry. She had heard all of it but she just wanted to tune it out.

"Let me tell you how it's been for me these last two months, Moxxie" she said.

"I've had to walk on eggshells every time I leave my room cause I never knew if Alastor was waiting outside my door ready to scare me. I've had everyone tell me to stay away from him but when I went out of my way to do that, he would be right behind me. I've tried to be nice with him so he wouldn't cause me trouble. I thought that had worked since he saved me from the Exterminators but instead of being kind he decides to be an asshole and try to keep me locked up in this hotel and say it's for my own good. He obviously doesn't want to play nice so I'm done trying to be nice as well"

Moxxie had a somber look on his face. Even with wearing makeup, he could see the tired, haggard look on her face. Whatever she had been dealing with these last two months was no walk in the park.

"We should probably tweak the middle part of the plan. If we let it go this way, it'll mess up the last part" he finally said.

With Moxxie finally on board, Jenny smiled and added notes to her plan.

The next morning Jenny slowly walked out of her room, making sure Alastor wasn't waiting for her. When the coast was clear she made her way down to the lobby. As she past Angel Dust's room, she saw the spider demon stepping out of his room with Fat Nuggets. Giving the demon a small nod, she walked past him and made her way down the stairs.

The lobby was quiet. Husker was organizing the glasses for the bar while Vaggie was reading a magazine and Lue was playing one of his instruments. She didn't see Alastor anywhere but she knew he had to be close by.

Testing her luck, she made her way to the entrance. Sure enough as soon as she got to the doors, Alastor appeared from the shadows and stood in front of the doors.

"Good morning, Miss. Firecracker! Where are you off to in such a hurry?"

Jenny gave him annoyed look and grabbed the morning paper that was on the floor.

"Just want to see what was in the news. Didn't realize I'm not allowed to read either" she said tartly.

She flopped on the sofa and opened the paper.

"I see that Imp friend of yours isn't here today" Alastor pointed out.

"Blitz had to go to work" Jenny explained.

"Least he's able to leave this place freely"

"Trust me when I say it's for your own good that you stay inside for a little longer" Alastor said.

Jenny scoffed and turned the page. She could tell he was wearing one of his shit eating grins without even looking at him.

"Kinda hard to trust you when you won't tell me why I should still stay inside the hotel. I was starting to think we were getting along better but clearly I was mistaken. This is just another one of your little games to get under my skin"

Alastor pushed the paper down so she would look at him. He wore a tight lipped smile on his face. She could tell he was slightly annoyed but she didn't care. He put her in this situation so she was going to be an ass to him.

"You might not like this situation but it really is for your own good. I can't tell you the reason why, just know I'm looking out for you"

Jenny scoffed and pulled the paper back over her face.

"And I'm sure you'll know that I don't believe a word out of your mouth" she muttered.

Alastor was about to say something when a big commotion could be heard from upstairs.

"Fat Nuggets, no!" Angel yelled.

The pig bolted down the stairs covered in soap and water. It was obvious Angel Dust tried to give him a bath and the little thing wasn't having any of it. The pig squealed and shrieked as he ran around. He zipped behind the bar, tripping Husker and made him drop a few glasses. He then knocked over the coffee table by Vaggie.

Jenny watched as the pig came by her and did the unthinkable. Zipping by Alastor's feet, Fat Nuggets shoved his way forward and caused the radio demon to fall on his back.

Knowing the pig was done for, Fat Nuggets bolted to the little doggy door at the entrance and ran outside.

Angel Dust hurried down the stairs with a worried look on his face.

"Someone grab him!"

Jenny just so happened to be the closest to the door so she quickly got up and ran outside to grab the pig.

She ran down a few blocks, trying to keep up with the pig. The further they got away the more her smirk grew. So far her little plan was working. She was able to humiliate Alastor and get out of the hotel at the same time. Now for the next part of her plan.

She grabbed Fat Nuggets when he tired out and held him up.

"Good job, Nugs. Wasn't expecting you to trip Al but that was an added bonus" she said.

"Let's get you a little treat while we head over to Blitz's office"

She tucked the pig in her arms and walked down the street to Imp City. A shadow appeared in front of her where Alastor popped out from it and blocked her path. He had a twisted smile on his face as his eyes glowed brightly.

"Nice. Try" he said. The static in his voice was thick showing he was beyond pissed.

Jenny held her ground and glared at him. She made to walk past him but he stuck his arm out and held onto her with a tight grip.

"I never expected you to pull such petty tricks, Jennifer" he said.

The fact that he said her name instead of firecracker showed how annoyed he was.

"Not my fault you fell for it" she said.

"Get your hands off me"

Alastor gripped her harder when she tried to move away. He yanked her forward so her face was close to his.

"When I said it wasn't a good idea for you to go outside yet, I didn't mean it was because the weather was bad" he said tartly.

"It's not safe still"

Jenny rolled her eyes and shoved him away.

"Christ on a stick! Will you listen to yourself?! You keep saying 'oh it's not safe' but you never give me a reason why! Charlie said I'm ok to leave the hotel so why should it matter to you what I do during my free time!" she shouted.

"Do keep it down my dear. I don't want everyone to hear-"

"No! You don't tell me what to do!" Jenny snapped.

"I'm not one of your little underlings like Husker or Nifty so I don't follow your orders. Why are you like this? I thought we were starting to get along! Ever since Extermination Day you've been treating me like a prisoner and keeping me locked up in the hotel. Are you pissed off that you had to save me? I didn't ask for your help; you could have watched like everyone else!"

The more she talked the more shadows appeared around Alastor. A couple of bystanders were curious to see a Sinner yelling at an Overlord and not getting ripped to shreds yet.

"Why do you even care what I do or where I go? I thought you would be happy to see me getting into trouble since you enjoy talking about it on your radio channel" Jenny continued.

"Last time, dear. Keep it down" Alastor warned.

"We're going back to the hotel. Now"

Jenny took a step back in defiance.

"You're not the boss of me. Period. I'm not going back with you and there is nothing you can do about it" she said.

Alastor raised an eyebrow at her.

"Oh really?" he asked.

"Fine. We'll do this my way"

He grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder. Jenny yelped and almost dropped Fat Nuggets in the process.

"Let go of me!" she growled.

Alastor ignored her and walked back to the hotel.

"If you're going to continue acting like a child then I'm going to treat you like one" he said.

Jenny tried to kick him but he summoned his shadows to wrap her legs together so she couldn't kick them around. He had one wrapped around her mouth for good measure in case she started screaming in his ear.

He saw a few bystanders looking at them in awe. His face took on a demonic form as he looked at them.

"What are you looking at?"

Everyone quickly scurried away before Alastor could eat them.

Jenny continued to wiggle her way out of Alastor's grasp but the demon had a vice grip on her.

They made it back to the hotel where everyone was greeted to the sight of Jenny slung over Alastor's shoulder while spewing profanities from her bonds. Grabbing Fat Nuggets from Jenny's hands, he shoved the pig into Angel Dust.

"You let this thing escape again and I'll turn it into dinner" he warned.

He marched up the stairs, ignoring all of the looks the group was giving them. Vaggie tried to stop him by aiming her spear at him.

"Put her down. Now" she ordered.

Alastor ignored her and pushed the spear out of the way.

"Do stay out of this. Jennier and I need to have a little talk"

He walked down the hallway and made it to her room. Entering inside, he shut the door behind them and dropped Jenny onto the bed. Releasing the bonds, he grabbed her face and made sure she was looking at him.

"Listen up dear because I do not like repeating myself" he said.

"Clearly Charlie didn't properly explain to you about what happens after Extermination Day. Just because the Exterminators are gone doesn't mean everything is back to normal. The days following are some of the worse days down here. Bodies litter the ground, buildings are damaged, everyone is in a panic. These are the best times for Overlords because that means turfs are ripe for the picking! We scan the areas that were damaged the most and see what we could use to expand our areas. And of course since there is quite a few of us Overlords that means a few of them will like the same area as everyone else, and let me we tell you, we do not like to share. Big fights break out as everyone sees who will claim that area and mark it as theirs. One of the many issues with these little fights is that Sinners might get caught in the crossfire and get injured or erased if they get hit with a Holy weapon that was left behind. And after your little stunt with the Exterminators, everyone is looking for you, little missy"

Jenny stopped struggling and looked at Alastor dumbfounded.

"What the fuck do they want with me?"

"Remember how you got rid of those angels?" Alastor asked.

"People are talking about how your blood can burn them and cause them harm. Quite a few Sinners want to get their hands on that"

Jenny felt her blood grow cold as she heard that.

"W-what?"

Charlie barged in the room before Alastor could say anything else. The princess's eyes were blood red as she glared at him. It seemed Vaggie told her what had happened in the lobby and she had enough of this petty drama.

"This crap ends now" she snapped.

Alastor scoffed and stepped away from Jenny.

"I thought you would have told Jennifer what happens after Extermination Day. For someone who wants to make this place a safe haven you're doing a pretty poor job of it so far" he said.

Charlie glared at him, not bothered by his insults.

"She knows what happens the days after it. It's been a few weeks now and things have died down. There's no point keeping her prisoner when the danger has passed" she reasoned.

"And clearly you don't read the news otherwise you would have seen the danger is far from being over" Alastor said.

He pulled out today's paper and shoved one of the pages in Charlie's face. The princess looked at the page and felt her eyes grow wide when she saw one of the articles. It was talking about Jenny and how her blood would go for thousands if someone was able to get their hands on it.

"Holy shit"

"Thanks to her little stunt, everyone wants to get their hands on her blood. It seems to work the same way those Holy weapons work and can cause some serious damage to the Exterminators" Alastor said.

Charlie looked up at him seriously. This was a big deal. Why would Alastor keep this to himself?

"Why didn't you tell Jenny or I any of this?! This is a serious situation!" she said.

"I figured you knew since you're the Princess of Hell" Alastor said.

"If you care about your staff like you claim to then you would have known a couple of Sinners working in the shadows were trying to grab her so they could extract her blood. And people call me cruel."

"I should have paid more attention to what was going on outside of the hotel, but I was more focused on Jenny's injuries" Charlie said.

"But that still doesn't change the fact that you failed to tell me there are Sinners out there wanting to get Jenny."

"Were, my dear. The correct term was were" Alastor said.

It quickly dawned on the girls what Alastor was trying to say. He didn't want Jenny leaving the hotel because there was some shady individuals who were hoping to make a quick buck by getting a hold of Jenny's blood. While she was stuck in the building he was out finding these Sinners and getting rid of them so they wouldn't cause her trouble.

He wasn't doing all of this to punish her. He was trying to protect her.

Jenny wanted to be moved by this but she couldn't. He could have easily told her what was going on instead of keeping quiet. Blitzo never kept quiet about what had happened when she wound up in Hell. Even Moxxie told her about someone hiring that cult to kidnap her. They didn't try to baby her by keeping things from her. If she was in trouble she should have known.

"You could have told me what was really going on. I would have handled this situation a lot better and not thrown a big fuss" she said.

"Do you really think I can't handle serious situations?"

Alastor sighed and turned his attention to her.

"There was a bit of miscommunication between Charlie and myself, I'll admit that" he said.

"However, you were dealing with enough shock from getting stabbed by a Holy weapon. I felt it wasn't a good idea to add more fuel to the fire by dropping this bit of information. I won't apologize for my actions but I will apologize for not explaining things better."

Jenny crossed her arms and just looked at Alastor. She wouldn't say she accepted his apology. His apologies always felt hollow to her. He didn't truly apologize when he scratched her face and he really didn't mean it when he apologized for keeping her engagement ring from her. He just said it when he didn't know how to get himself out of a sticky situation. Like now.

"Stop treating me like a child and thinking I can't handle serious situations" she said.

"Charlie hasn't done that and neither has Blitzo. Keeping things from me doesn't help me, it just shows you really don't trust me or that I can handle myself."

Alastor's ear went back when he saw she wasn't going to accept his apology.

"I was simply- "

"You weren't helping me, Alastor" Jenny said.

"This involved me so I should have known. You keeping quiet about it didn't help, it just made things worse. So what if I was in danger? If I get myself in a tricky situation that's on me and I'll deal with it. If there is one thing I hate is having others baby me and making it seem I can't take care of myself. You weren't hiding this to protect me, you just wanted to punish me"

Alastor wanted to say more but Charlie stopped him.

"I think that's enough for today" she said.

She knew Jenny couldn't see the bigger picture to what was going on. There was no point in Alastor trying to defend himself.

"You and I are going to have a long talk about how we communicate here at the hotel"

She pushed Alastor along towards the door. She looked at the human over her shoulder sadly. First she found out someone wanted to kill her and now she had creeps wanting her blood. This girl couldn't catch a break. She had a feeling she would have to explain what was going on to Blitzo when he visited the hotel again. She knew he could cheer the human up.

She closed the door behind them and left Jenny alone in her room. The human flopped on her bed and sighed. What a couple of days it's been. First she found out that someone hired to have her killed and now others wanted to buy her blood. If that wasn't a double whammy she didn't know what was.

"Least I'm finally popular for a change" she muttered.

A knock at her door alerted her that she wasn't alone anymore. Angel Dust popped his head inside.

"You okay toots?" he asked.

"Yeah, I guess" Jenny said.

Angel entered her room and sat on the bed next to her.

"Was being hogtied by Smiles part of your plan?"

"No, but I made him look like an ass while we were outside so it worked in the end" Jenny said.

"Was Blitz able to do what I asked him to do while we were outside?"

Angel had a shit eating smirk on his face.

"Oh yeah he did. Him and his friends were able to do it the moment Smiles left the hotel to go after you. They're a sneaky group alright"

"That's why they're good at their job" Jenny said.

"I should have had them do more but this should be good enough"

Angel cackled with delight. He couldn't wait to see the look on Alastor's face when he realized what Jenny did.

"I've said before you're a bad bitch, but I mean it this time. You really are a bad bitch"

Jenny wore a cruel smirk on her lips. Now more than ever she wanted to get back at Alastor.

He thought she was being childish? Fine she could be childish.

The next morning

Jenny pretended to read the paper as she sat in the lobby. Blitzo sat next to her as he texted something on his phone.

"You have any problems with what I asked you to do?" she whispered.

Blitzo kept his eyes on his phone and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

"M&M are on standby and waiting for my signal. This is going to be awesome" he said.

"I just hope this doesn't backfire on me like yesterday's part" Jenny said.

"If he even lays one finger on you, I'll mount his head to the wall" Blitzo promised.

Alastor walked around the lobby. He spotted Jenny sitting with Blitzo and narrowed his eyes. He still wanted to know how she was so close to him but he knew right now wasn't the time to bug her. She was giving him the silent treatment right now.

He just let it go for now and made his way to his office. He had work to do and he couldn't stand around glaring at an annoying Imp.

Blitzo saw him head up the stairs and nudged Jenny.

"Showtime" he whispered.

Jenny pulled up the paper to cover her face and hid the cruel smirk on her face.

3…2…1…

"JENNIFER!"

Everyone who was in the lobby jumped at the sudden noise. They had never heard Alastor shout before like that. Loud footsteps could be heard as Alastor stormed back down the stairs and made a beeline to the human. He snatched the paper from her hands and had a demonic look to his face.

"Where. Are. They?" he demanded.

Jenny played dumb and looked confused.

"Where's what?"

"Don't play dumb with me! Where are my records?!"

Jenny raised an eyebrow.

"Records…records…Oh those records! If you're talking about those really nice ones that you had locked up in your office, I snagged a few so Moxxie could listen to them. He's a sucker for classical things like me"

Alastor's eyes turned into radio dials the more pissed he got. Blitzo stayed still but he gripped the gun that he had clipped to his pants.

"You let an Imp inside my office?!"

"Hey now! What makes you think I let anyone in your office?... It's not like I was able to do that yesterday anyway"

Alastor made a noise as if a record was being scratched. He slowly replayed the events from yesterday. Blitzo and those other Imps weren't with her yesterday-something they rarely did since they seemed to be glued to the hip with her. Then there was the whole fiasco of Fat Nuggets getting loose and running around outside. And of course him leaving the hotel to grab her.

Her plan wasn't to cause a commotion so she could get out of the hotel. It was so HE could get out of the hotel. With him gone, Blitzo could sneak into his office and steal his prized records. She used a childish plan as a coverup her real plan. If he wasn't so angry he would be impressed.

His hands turned into claws as he reached out for her. Jenny wasn't bothered and waved a finger at him.

"Ah, ah, ah! You should think before you act. That's what you're always telling me" she said.

"If you rip me to shreds, you'll never know where your records went. Millie and Moxxie can travel to the different rings so they could be on the Wrath ring, Greed ring, they can be anywhere. And since Sinners can't travel between rings that means you'll never see them again"

Alastor's eye twitched when he saw Jenny had a point. If he did that he knew for a fact Mille and Moxxie wouldn't return to the Pride ring and he would kiss his records goodbye. He spent a long time collecting those things.

Jenny leaned back in her seat and crossed her arms.

"So here are your options: You either rip me to shreds and never see your records again. Or you admit you were wrong by not explaining why I still had to stay in the hotel. What'll it be?"

"You're really pulling this on me? The Radio Demon?" Alastor asked.

"I'm sure I've told you before that title means nothing to me" Jenny said darkly.

The two of them had a standoff. No one said a word as the human glared up at one of the Overlords of Hell. Husker opened up his wings in case he had to jump over the counter to grab Alastor. Mei and Pentious were on the edge of their seats as they looked on in amazement. Lue kept his eye on Alastor and slowly went to grab something behind him. Blitzo was at the ready to throw himself in front of Jenny in case the Radio Demon went with the first option.

Everyone waited to see what Alastor would do. Finally he reverted to his normal look and sighed wearily.

"Well played my dear, well played" he said.

"Very well, I'll admit that I should have explained why you shouldn't have ventured outside. Now will you give me back my records?"

Jenny looked at Blitzo and gave him a nod. Blitzo texted something in his phone and waited for Millie to respond. Moments later Millie and Moxxie came from the kitchen with a box full of records.

"They were here the whole time?!" Alastor snapped.

Jenny shrugged.

"I did say they could be anywhere" she pointed out.

Moxxie set the box on the table and took a step back.

"Everything is there. We didn't touch them or took them out of their sleeves" he said.

Alastor narrowed his eyes at the Imp, causing Moxxie to yelp and hide behind the couch. The Radio Demon checked his records to see that they were indeed all there and weren't tampered with.

"I'll be sure to change the locks to my office" he said sourly.

"You go right ahead and do that" Jenny said.

She got up from her seat and fixed her skirt.

"Now then. Since you got your records back, I'll be spending my day finally going outside and seeing what Pride Ring has to offer"

She motioned for Blitzo and the others to follow her to the door. Alastor watched them leave in silence. Now that he had a clear head he was able to process what had just happened. She had outsmarted him. Not only that, she did it in a way where she didn't have to lift a finger. It was a petty move, but an impressive one. It wasn't everyday that someone could get back at the Radio Demon.

"Very well played" he said.

Mei and Pentious were gob smacked by what they had just witnessed. Jenny had won a fight against the Radio Demon and 'lived' to tell the tale. Their admiration for her grew even further.

"That was so amazing!" Mei gushed.

Pentious nodded vigorously.

Alastor whipped his head around and glared at them.

"Shouldn't you both be doing other things?"

They yelped and scurried out of the room. Alastor shook his head and carried his records back to his office. Husker rolled his eyes as his boss walked past him.

"You deserved that" he muttered.

Lue didn't say anything the whole time this happened. He was impressed by what he saw, no doubt about that. But he was also a little worried to. It was a good thing Alastor didn't go with the first option otherwise he would have had to jump in and reveal himself too soon.

"That was a little too close, Songbird" he said to himself.

He tucked away a very ancient looking Holy weapon back into his ratty jacket.

"Way too close"

/

A/N: I think we all learned something today. If you get on Jenny's bad side, you'll find out she can be cunning and nasty. So basically she fits well with Hell lol.

Alastor was obviously in the wrong for keeping this information from her but was she in the wrong for lashing out at him like that? Was he even keeping this information from her for her wellbeing or because he's the Radio Demon and he enjoys messing with people?

I hope this was fun chapter for you all!

Please tell me what you think!

Take care!
