《The Awakened One, Book 1: Remnant》Chapter 25: Spiders

(Y/N) eyes slowly fluttered open as he awoke from his much-needed slumber. Upon waking, he took notice of the soft thighs that was beneath his head, and the warm hands of the women that gently stroked him. He took a moment to finish gathering his awareness and came to the quick conclusion that he was still in the same room, and same spot, as when he originally fell asleep. After the quick acknowledgement, he turned over to face upwards, looking directly at the busty woman who managed to caress him to sleep. As she noticed him turning, she looked back down at his restful face and gave him a warm smile. “Oh my, look who decided to finally wake up” she said jokingly at first. “I’m just joking, good morning my love. How was your sleep?”

(Y/N) finished gathering the awareness he needed to answer the women’s question, “that was the best sleep I’ve had in… ever, I think. Thank you so much Glynda!” The woman couldn’t help but smile at his enthusiastic gratitude.

“You’re welcome my love; however, I was just doing what I thought best for your health. I would do anything if it meant keeping you safe.” As she spoke, she planted a quick chaste kiss on her love’s nose.

The two of them chuckled at her showing of affection, enamored by each other’s forms. “How long have I been out? I feel like I slept for like three days or something.”

“Your guess isn’t that far off. It has been 2 days and 16rhs since you originally fell asleep.”

“What!?!?!” He immediately jumped up from the woman’s lap, eyes wide in shock. “Holy shit I gotta go!”

Glynda suddenly began laughing, holding her hand to her mouth to chuckle her uncontrollable laughter. After a moment of hysterics, she managed to get herself in control enough to talk. “My love please, relax. I was just messing with you; it’s been about an hour.”

“Oh, either way I gotta go. I can feel the girls shifting around. They’re probably going to wake up soon. I would love to stay and sleep in your lap pillow, but there are some things I gotta attend to.”

“I figured you would.” After her somber message, she moved closer to her future student, gripping his head in her hands. “Remember, if you ever work yourself too hard and are in need of sleep, I will find you, and I will force you to sleep. Of course, you are welcome to come willingly as well. Either way, I will keep you healthy.” After she finished speaking, she slowly closed the distance between the two of them and allowed her soft pink lips to connect with his. The chaste kiss lasted for a moment before she slowly backed away from the young man. “That was just a parting gift.” She quickly adjusted her glasses and turned away from the young man. “Now take your pet and leave my classroom, I can’t have you wasting the rest of my day. I have important matters to attend to.”

“Thanks again Glynda!’ (Y/N) said as he scooped up Byakko from the desk. “I’ll be seeing you again soon!” The young man quickly leaped from the center arena and exited the large learning center. Glynda could only smile at his retreating form as she savored the taste of his lips.

As he exited the room, he quickly began retracing his steps to find his way back to his room. His thoughts were scrambling to create clarity from what he had learned. “So, Glynda and Ozpin knew about me because I kicked a crater into the wall in our private training room. And Ozpin originally thought I was a threat because of it, and then I made myself seem more like a threat because I called him Ozma on accident. Damn.” After reflecting on his blunder, he became even more thankful Glynda for meeting up with him to let him know. “Glynda’s fucking amazing! But she is still such a mysterious woman. She was somehow able to tail me and take Byakko without showing up on the System map. And on top of that, she put me to sleep! How the fuck did she do all that.”

[You have been cursed!]

“Huh? What do you mean?”

You have been cursed!

*The Goodwitch Curse*- Glynda Goodwitch has put you under her spell, lulling you into a state of sound mind. In this state, Glynda is able to force an unnaturally restful slumber upon you, leaving you feeling revitalized upon awakening.

“So, she cursed me, and now I can sleep whenever she wants me to? I’ll take it!”

[A curse is just another status effect like burn, bleed, or drown. Except curses are hard to come by and have varying effects based on what the curse is! Every curse has a different way of being broken, it’s up to us to find out what it is!]

“Thanks for the quick explanation, Meta, but I don’t think I’ll be breaking this curse anytime soon. But that doesn’t exactly answer how she doesn’t show up on the mini map. It probably has something to do with her Semblance or something like that. Either way, it’s not important right now.” He quickly finished up his thoughts as he made his way back towards his room, where the girls were beginning to wake up from their nap. He soon reached the door, and silently teleported into to the room. Upon entry, (Y/N) found that the girls were starting to wake, and he quickly slipped back into place in between his lovers.

After they woke up, the Faunus twins immediately began teasing the redhead about her passing out after her orgasm. Pyrrha was embarrassed by their teasing, but she laughed and chuckled all the while. After exchanging kisses and embraces, the group rose from their naps and continued on with their day. They first went to an open training room where they burned off the energy they had for the day and focused on Neyah’s improvement since her matches would be starting the next day. After training for a while, the group chose to call it quits early as they were eager to head back to the room to enjoy themselves physically some more. However, they first went back to the cafeteria for dinner where the topic of conversation came on (Y/N)’s odd strength and unwillingness to eat food. Pyrrha was quickly updated on his oddities, and she soon accepted him for who he is only wondering how he had gotten all those scars in the first place. She was then informed on how he would tell them later, and she accepted his answer, intent on patiently waiting for whenever he was ready to tell her.

After eating they excitedly ran back to their room where they spent the rest of the evening enjoying each other’s company in a very non-inappropriate way. The vigorous wholesome activities soon left the group exhausted and they soon fell asleep in a naked sweat, gripping tightly to each other’s warmth.

“Well, I guess it's time for another night of questionable activities. Call off, Demonic Walk” he thought as his body double appeared and he suddenly disappeared. He quickly recognized the awkward sensation that came with the action, but he decided to just get used to it as he picked up his partner in crime. “I wonder if Glynda is in the area watching me. Lemme open the System Map and check.” As he opened his mental map, he checked the surrounding area for any suspicious persons that may be lying in wait for him to appear, but he found none. “Yeah, everything seems normal. Nobody is especially out of place and there are no negatively colored icons that I need to worry about. But that just proves that she somehow can hide from my map.” (Y/N) sat on the thought for a moment, thinking of a few possibilities as to why Glynda didn’t show up on his map, but he soon decided that it wasn’t important enough to figure out now. He figured that he could just discuss it with her later in private.

As he concluded his thoughts, he teleported out of the building in the same manner he did the previous night, falling through the air and landing softly on the ground. He was about to dash forward when his body instinctively shifted, as he felt that someone was behind him. The young man quickly turned on his feet and took a small step back, shifting into a defensive position. However, his posture relaxed slightly as he saw the person standing ‘menacingly’ behind him. “Why are you here?” He whispered his question to the woman who stood with her arms crossed.

“I thought I told you to take it easy Mr. (L/N)” Glynda said softly as she strutted forward towards the young man.

“I don’t think you said take it easy, I think you said stay safe, and I plan to stay safe.” In response to his smart remark, the affectionate professor stepped forward and gripped his ear tightly in her hand. She then tugged on his sensitive appendage, pulling him toward her until they were face to face.

“Do not mince my words young man. You know exactly what I meant when I offered my lap to you” she whispered into the ear that she held onto.

“I know, but after napping on your lap I got so much energy. I can’t just sit around all night; I got a lot of shit to do. Either way that’s not important right now. How do you keep sneaking up on me? I never have any idea where you are.”

Glynda suddenly smacked (Y/N) on his head after he finished speaking, “firstly, watch your mouth Mr. (L/N), we do not use that kind of language here. Secondly, I can conceal myself in my Aura, that may be why you seem to have difficulty ‘sensing’ me. However, it is a very simple technique that most Huntsman use, I’d expect such a technique would be useless against you seeing as you seem to use it yourself, but I guess I was wrong.” The woman then let go of his ear as she continued speaking. “I will be teaching you about this technique and how to counteract it tomorrow, be ready.”

“Thanks, teach, I appreciate the help” he said to the staunch woman.

“Do not thank me, I have yet to help you, and plus I am just doing my job as an educator.” Glynda said as she slightly adjusted her glasses. “Now you may leave, I wouldn’t want to keep you from your nightly activities” as she spoke, she bent over slightly and placed a soft kiss on the young man's lips. “Stay safe my love, if you ever need me remember that I am only a call or message away.”

“I know Glynda, thanks for everything. I’ll see you tomorrow! Or later today, I don’t know what time it is right now.” The mature woman couldn’t help but smile and chuckle slightly at his comment, as she watched him and his mysterious pet retreat into the darkness of night.

(Y/N) ran, jumped, and teleported his way through Beacon and quickly made it into the city of Vale. He queued Meta to activate his Appearance, and Byakko followed his lead turning back into Scylla. The now demonic pair leaped over top buildings through the commercial district and settled on teleporting into the shop called ‘From Diamonds to Dust’. Once the duo entered the shop, they teleported from the first floor, up to the second and discretely walked into the office where they were the night before. Upon entering the office, they were surprised to see Scarlet sitting patiently behind the desk, dressed completely in her Hel garb. “I was waiting for you Reaper, are you ready to go?”

“Yeah, let's go” the masked Reaper responded. (Y/N) reached out his hand and Scarlet gently grabbed onto it. “This teleport may feel a little different from how it was yesterday, so prepare yourself for a bit of blow back. Oh, and it'll last a bit longer, so if you need a break just pinch my hand all right.” Scarlet responded with a small nod, and in that moment the group disappeared in a predominantly black streak with red accents. The trio rapidly teleported through the city with the use of (Y/N)’s skill, and they quickly made it to their desired destination. As soon as they appeared on the roof of the building closest to the Club, (Y/N) stopped teleporting to allow Scarlet to take a quick breather. “How are you feeling Scarlet?”

The woman in questioned turned to the Reaper as she steadied herself, “I have to admit, it was a bit disorienting at first, suddenly changing places that many times in a row, but I have gotten used to it already.”

“That’s good, I am about to move us directly into the office so there may already be people present in the room. Make sure your game face is already on.” She nodded in affirmation at his comment, and gently grabbed back onto her honey’s hand. As their hands reconnected, (Y/N) activated his skill yet again, teleporting the group into the office where they immediately began checking their surroundings.

The Reaper looked around the room with interest as it no longer looked exactly the same as it did the previous night. The majority of the office remained the same, however on the wall behind his desk was a large painting depicting the Icon from the back of his calling card, with the demonic mask popping out like a wall mounted statue. In the mouth of the demon was a long. Black, double edged scythe that balanced perfectly in its mouth. On that same wall, built into the walls were long shelves on each side of the large painting, and on these shelves were a few books, small statues, and model weapons that looked like prototypes of some kind. His chair that sat comfortably behind the desk was no longer pure red, but now had black stripes going down the sides, and his apparent logo in the center of it. The formerly empty glass desk now had advance looking screens built into the desks surface, and underneath the desk was a very comfortable looking black and red animal bed. The second largest change that he noticed in the room was the windows that were behind him. The windowpanes were now combined to form a single massive window and it was now tinted completely black allowing no light through them, making it so he couldn’t see anything out of them. In the center of the large window was a floating, spinning version of his Oni mask, but it was more simplified, and the parts moved independently from one another. That same icon now decorated the center of each of the black double doors, they were statue like, and head been welded to the doors like statues. In each of the statue’s mouths were chain linked rings that connected to swords that hung from them, and these swords acted as door knockers, and he supposed that they would be on both sides of the door. The white armchairs that lined up to the desk were exactly the same, and the one nearest to the desk was still decorated with dried blood. However, the carpet around it had been cleaned, revealing the pure white carpet underneath.

The Reaper slowly walked over to his desk and sat down in his newly designed chair. As he sat comfortably in his desk, Scylla hopped off his lap and curled up gently in her newly designed bed, and it seemed that she found it very comfortable. He then turned to the woman who was standing next to him and spoke, “seems like you were very busy yesterday.” He spoke as he looked around the room, admiring her changes.

Hel smiled underneath her mask, “of course! I have to do anything to please my Honey Bun! But these aren’t the only things that I handle in my time at the club yesterday. Would you like me to explain?”

“Yes please, if you would” he said while slightly bowing his head.

“Ok, so for starters this central piece is depicting your symbol and has been given 3D form, but the Scythe in its mouth is more for decoration than anything else. However, we could always change it if you wish. I tried to ensure that the design of the weapon would be similar to the Scythe that you use, but in order to allow it to balance better, and make it look more frightening, I added the second blade to the weapon.” She then turned her attention to the extra shelves that had been built into the walls of the room. “These shelves can be used for whatever purposes you wish, decoration, documentation, literally anything you want. I thought that they would be a good addition to allow you to customize the space a little bit.”

“I had a very impressive computer system built into the walls of the room, but their outputs are connected to this desk and the window. Essentially, the desk and windows function as monitors for the PC that you can’t see, but if you ever want to check them out just let me know! More importantly, you can project the desks screens wherever you wish in the room, I can give you an example in a minute.” The woman stopped for a moment, thinking a little bit on what else she had done in her short amount in charge of this organization. “Also, I made minor changes to the doors and some of the décor in the main rooms of the club. Most of these changes were included to ensure that the people who walk into this establishment know that we, you, are in charge now. All of this had been completed by the unbelievable manpower of the Xiong Family that obediently follow every instruction that I give them. Thanks for beating them into submission so I didn’t have to go through the effort of making an example out of them.”

(Y/N) simply nodded his head at her thanks, and she quickly continued her explanation. “Last thing of major importance would be this,” as she spoke, she pulled out a small black and red object that he quickly recognized as a Scroll. “You shouldn’t be using your (Y/N) Scroll to be handling Reaper business, so I got you another, untraceable, untraceable, Scroll for your nighttime uses. I have already registered the important numbers in your Scroll, Junior, Mil and Mel, and most importantly myself, again.” The women then handed the Scroll to the Reaper, and he graciously accepted the gift. He opened the item and searched around it for a moment to familiarize himself with the new device. After his quick evaluation, he placed the device in his chest and allowed it to slip back into his inventory with the rest of his items.

(Y/N) couldn’t help but stare in awe at the woman and all the things she had completed in the short amount of time since their take over. “Wow, just wow. You are phenomenal, I mean I knew you’d be amazing, but I didn’t see you going above and beyond my expectations. You somehow had all this stuff put into the office, and made it feel a little more like my own. But since you’ve decorated the room this much, it seems that you’ve forgotten to give yourself a seat.” After the words left his mouth, the woman standing next to him smiled brightly with her eyes.

After the eye smile, the woman leaned over to her honey, and whispered into his hooded ear, “but I do have a seat.” The moment after the words left her lips, the woman spun the Reaper in his chair, so his legs were facing her, and she turned her ass towards the sitting man. She then suddenly sat comfortably on his lap, rubbing her ass into his crotch slightly as she adjusted her position, and leaned back against the armrest. “See, I have the best seat in the house!”

(Y/N) couldn’t help but chuckle at her antics and in response to her sitting on his lap, he placed his hand her back in support, holding her up comfortably. “Best seat in the house huh. Well, I can’t really complain about this seating situation” he said as he gently stroked her back. “I honestly can’t thank you enough for your help Scarlet.”

At his showing of appreciation, the woman beamed with joy internally, but on the outside, she kept her cool. “You have no need to thank me honey, I have to do my best for you every single day! And I will, without fail. But now is not the best time to talk about my devotion to you. Let’s start handling some business! What would you like me to do first Honey?”

(Y/N) took a moment to think about what they needed to get done in the time that they had during the night, “well I guess we can get started with calling in Mil and Mel and seeing what they have to say.” At his response, Hel tapped a single button on his desk screen, and they waited for only a moment before they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

In response to the knock, Hel yelled towards the door, “come in!” As soon as her words were spoken the door suddenly burst open and two excited women in immaculate outfits entered the office with large smiles.

“Oh my god! Like Boss your back! It’s been like so long, like how’ve you been!” Yelled the excited girl in the beautiful white and blue dress.

The woman’s twin sister, dressed in red and black, quickly followed up with comments of her own, yelling “Welcome back Boss! I missed you! And hello to you as well Mistress!” As the twins approached the desk, they skipped happily, clearly joyful about seeing their boss again after a seemingly long time.

(Y/N) let a smile form underneath his mask, “hello to the both of you girls. I don’t understand how you could’ve missed me so much; it’s only been a single day” he said in a joking manner.

The twins skipped comfortably up to his desk, ignoring the woman sitting in the Bosses lap, and the girl in white gently placed her hand on his desk while her sister stood behind her. “Like, of course we missed you! Like sssssoooooo much stuff has happened since you left, its literally felt like a whole entire eternity since we saw you last. The Mistress has been working the underlings like crazy. Like I’ve never seen them work so like… hard or whatever.” That was the second time he heard the name Mistress being called, and he quickly connected the dots figuring that she was referring to Hel.

As usual, her sister followed with “yeah pretty much. These lazy dogs have finally gotten some pep in their step ever since you all showed up. Its pretty refreshing to see them work hard and not just sit around all day doing fuck all” the girl dressed in red said.

“Well, that’s good, but I called you both here to ask whether or not you completed the request I asked of you.” Melanie, the girl in white, sighed, crossing her arms in a huff, and nodded her head in affirmation.

It seemed that whatever Lil’ Miss Malachite had said, upset the girl, but she did confirm that she did finish his request. Her sister next to her crossed her arms and rolled her eyes slightly at the thought of the conversation, and she began explaining what exactly happened. “So, basically, we did what you asked us to do, but Mother wasn’t as uhm… receptive to the idea of us being your plus two’s as we were. However, she was interested in your proposal and would like a conversation with you. She also asked that both of us be there for the convo to, which I said I would ask you about since it’s up to you.”

The Boss thought about it for a moment, “what kinda angle is she playing? I guess it makes sense though, the twins more than likely sang my praises to their mother so she doesn’t believe I can be made into a puppet. That’s probably why she doesn’t want the girls to be my subordinates, because if I can’t be made a puppet, then they can’t take over and run this scene for her. But then why would she want to talk with me in the first place? Unless…” He continued to finish his thoughts before exiting his mind and looking back at the twins in front of him. “Thank you both for going through with what I requested of you. You both did an amazing job and I have no issue with you both attending the meeting between me and your mother. You both are a central part of my Familia, so you are welcome to take part in whatever I am doing.” The two twins couldn’t help but blush at his praise and they happily bowed their heads in response to his appreciation of them. Being called part of his Familia made an extremely warm sensation fill their hearts with joy, and their loyalty to the man was bolstered heavily in that moment. “There’s no need for the bows, remember you two are my right and left hands, and my hands never bow. Now, when does Lil’ Miss Malachite want to have this little meeting?”

“We could like, do it right now! She said ASAP so she’ll be ready at any time, do you want me to call her?” Mel pulled her Scroll out from under her dress as she spoke, setting the device lightly on the desk before her Boss.

“Yeah, you may call her, the sooner we talk the better” the Reaper said as he continued to stroke the Mistresses back.

“Honey, allow me to handle this!” Hel said as she scooped Melanie’s Scroll from the desk and slipped it into a hidden slot on the side of his chair. Once the Scroll clicked into place, the screens on the desk lit up, and Hel perfectly navigated the various screens to call the woman. “So, Honey, on this call Lil’ Miss Malachite will be able to see your full body, and she will be showing up on the window screen to our right.” Hel said as she pointed towards the massive window. “When you want me to begin the call just tell me to!”

“You can start the call now, no use in delaying the inevitable” he said softly. “Mel, Mil, why don’t you both just sit down and relax, we may be here for a while.” When he said their nicknames, their hearts swelled with pride, and they quickly replied with excitement.

“Like of course/Ok Boss!” They yelled as they walked to their designated seats closest to the desk, bypassing the one drenched in dried blood. As he watched then sit down, he thought to himself that he may have needed to get them a different chair, and it seemed as if Scarlet was having the same thought as the twins sat comfortably in the chairs with smiles on their faces. Hel then initiated the call and stood up from her position on her Honey’s lap, walking over to stand directly next to the imposing figure. As the call began ringing, the lights in the room dimmed allowing the massive window screen to become clearer, and soon an older woman appeared on the screen.

The woman looked to be middle aged, approximately late forties or early fifties, and she was clearly on the heavier side. She had pale white skin and short, bob-cut, blonde hair that curled slightly around her rounded jaw. She had on light make-up, blush, and lipstick giving her a certain level of ‘southern charm’ to her overall look. On the screen, her entire body showed, showing that she was a heavy-set woman, wearing a large, long purple dress that went down to her ankles, revealing brown shoes underneath. The shoulders of her dress revealed a decorate spider tattoo that was the emblem of the Syndicate that she ran. In her right was a lit cigarette in a long holder that she slowly took long drags from as she stared into the screen, presumably looking at the Reaper and his Mistress in the room.

As the bigger woman finished taking a long inhale of her cigarette, and exhaled the smoke, she began speaking first. “Well, well, well, what do we have here? I see your very prompt Mr. Grimm Reaper; I wasn’t expecting your call for another two or three days” the women said.

The Reaper allowed for a deep chuckle to boil from his throat as he began speaking, “promptness is my specialty I guess Lil’ Miss. Allow me to formally introduce myself, I am the Grimm Reaper, you may call me Reaper or anything of the like. This lovely lady is my partner Hel and resting peacefully down here is my companion Scylla.”

The woman put on a smile as she spoke, “I need no introduction; you already know who I am. Everybody knows who I am, let’s get that straight. But now that your silly introductions have concluded, let’s get down to business. Why would I need you to get rid of Roman Torchwick? Quite frankly you are a nobody, don’t think that just because you bested Junior means that you are special in anyway, boy. The only reason I am entertaining this call is at the behest of my daughters, so you better make this quick as I have real matters to attend to.” With a bright smile on her face the woman spat venomous words that would do more than intimidate any normal person. At the words, the twins shook furiously with anger at the way their mother was treating their Boss, their Familia, but they couldn’t say anything as Lil’ Miss was still their mother first and foremost. However, the Reaper and his partner remained completely calm as they listened to the large woman’s deposition.

“I am nothing huh? Your right, and that is also why you’re so interested in me Lil’ Miss Malachite. Imagine, the head of the Spiders, most powerful citizen in Mistral, the wisest woman alive, doesn’t know and hasn’t heard a single thing about me. I’ll admit you put on a tough front Lil’ Miss, but I already know how badly you want information on me. On top of that, I know you want me to take care of Roman for you, there is no need to lie in this setting Mrs. Malachite.” As the Reaper closed his statements the room fell still for a moment, and Lil’ Miss began staring deeply into the screen, seemingly thinking about something.

After a moment of silence, the woman’s face turned from a smile to a serious expression, and after taking another hit of her cigarette she spoke again. “Interesting. Ok I’ll bite, but first things first Reaper, never call me Mrs. Malachite ever again” she said while glaring intensely at the screen. “Now, I will allow you this one freebie and let you know that I am indeed very interested in your sudden appearance. It is not often, if ever, that a single person can completely change the power dynamic of an organization in a single night. However, you will tell me why you believe that I need your help in taking out Torchwick.”

“My initial reasoning is simple. I simply asked myself this question, ‘if she wanted Torchwick dead so bad, then why isn’t he dead?’ Then the answer that swiftly follows is because you can’t. He’s gotten too powerful in Vale for you to orchestrate any form of assignation or depowering, even using your little Prep Academy spies.” The heavy woman showed genuine surprise for a moment before she quickly hid the look behind her usual façade. “The reason you need me, is simply because your out of options at the moment, and if I say I can, then that’s automatically your best bet. Plus, I already showed my promise by taking over the Xiong Family command in a single night.”

“This Reaper person is dangerous! How’d he already knows about my little deal with Lady Browning’s Preparatory Academy For Girls. It seems that this Reaper figure is a true threat to be taken seriously. Better to appear friendly before finding a way to extort him, then underestimate his strength and pay for it later. Oh, I see, maybe this is why my daughters have taken such a liking to you. Not only extraordinarily strong, but also incredibly intelligent, the perfect package. You are clearly reliable so how about we make a deal, Reaper” Lil’ Miss said as she leaned forward on her desk.

However, the masked man suddenly held up his hand, motioning her to slow down, “wait Lil’ Miss. Before we get to negotiations, I would like you to make something clear. What is your motivation for desiring Torchwick’s head? Since it is clearly not exclusively about taking over the Vale crime scene.”

His question seemed to surprise the woman even further, but she hid it well, replying with “what do you mean Reaper? What makes you think I have any other objective when thinking about ending Torchwick?”

“Its pretty obvious to me Lil’ Miss. Considering the fact that you intended to put Junior in place as a puppet leader until Mil and Mel were able to build a strong enough reputation to take over, and the fact that you are still trying to employ me, even though you know I won’t be a good ‘puppet’ for you in the long term, the only solution I come to is that you have another reason why you’d want to kill him.”

The larger woman thought on what he said for a moment, “he knows far more than he should, this is quite the surprise. I may as well continue testing him to find out what else he knows. Well, how do you figure that I didn’t plan on killing you after you took out Torchwick for me?”

(Y/N) couldn’t help but chuckle at her question, “if you can’t kill Torchwick, you cannot kill me. Its as plain and simple as that, and I know that you are well aware of this fact Lil’ Miss.”

As she heard his words she began chuckling and that chuckling soon turned into full blown laughter. The heavier woman began laughing hysterically, much to the surprise of the twins that sat nervously in their seats. Lil’ Miss slowly, but surely, got her laughter under control, and as she calmed her laughter down, she said, “you are a true marvel, Reaper.” After her short comment, she wiped a lone tear from her eye and continued her talk. “Since you already know about my alternative motivation, allow me to fully explain sonny. I hate Roman Torchwick with a passion, I’ve wanted him dead since the day he left Mistral for Vale. You see, I practically raised that boy, everything he knows, and all of his success is attributed to me. And you know what he did with all the gifts that I had imparted onto him, he betrayed me. Not only did he betray me, but he also betrayed my daughters, and the Spiders. That is an unforgivable crime, and he must pay for what he has done!” As she yelled her last sentence, rage formed on her face, and she slammed her hand on the desk that she was sitting behind. The sudden anger left as quickly as it came, and the woman rested back in her seat as calm as ever. So, Sonny, since I find you so interestingly skilled and intelligent, I’ll propose a simple deal. Kill Roman Torchwick, and then do whatever you want with Vale. I don’t care about that stupid city anymore, just kill that imbecilic, vile, treacherous creature and you will have my thanks.”

“Bingo. Consider Roman Torchwick a dead man walking Lil’ Miss. It was a pleasure doing business with” he said as he bowed slightly.

The woman smiled at the Reaper’s gesture, “oh please, no need for the petty gestures. I trust that you get it done in a timely manner Mr. Prompt” she said as she chuckled slightly. “Also, please don’t call me Lil’ Miss anymore Sonny, Mother will do just fine.”

“Thanks Mother, I’ll be sure not to keep you waiting” he said as he rose from his bow.

“I look forward to our next conversation then, until then be good son. Also, my daughters, treat your brother with care, anything he needs make sure to get it, and protect him from all harm. He may seem strong, but boys tend to be very reckless, so keep an eye on him.”

The twins stood suddenly and yelled, “yes Mother/yes Mother!”

“Good. I’ll be talking again with you soon son” were her last words as the call ended, leaving the rest to sit in the dimly lit room in silence.

The first to speak was (Y/N) who twirled in his chair to face the twins, “I think that went pretty well, don’t you think?”

At his comment, the twins leaped from their seats and hurried to his desk slamming their hands on it as they reached it. The first to speak was Mel, who began with, “Like OMG! I have never like ever, seen Mother act like that!”

He sister quickly followed with, “I know right! She said you could call her mother! That’s like, super crazy! Your literally like our actual family now! But what do we call you now?”

“Like Bro? Or like Boss Bro?”

“What you call me really doesn’t matter, we can figure that out later. What’s important is you both clarifying what exactly Mother meant by raising Torchwick.” (Y/N) said, calming the both of them down.

“Well like, Roman showed up when we were really little, and like mother saw potential in him” the girl in white began.

“Yeah, she said that she thought that he would grow into a smart guy. So, she took him in and taught him a bunch of stuff, like the ways of the trade and stuff.”

“So, like, after a while we got really close, and we started to treat him like family, but he kinda just betrayed us out of the blue. Like he basically like led mother on so he could learn stuff from her, and he used it to sell out the Spiders to the other gangs in Mistral.”

“After that he just vanished, but then he appeared in Vale, and mother had already began gaining control of the city. So, she sent us here to train at the Academy, and after that we started babysitting Junior, trying to find an opportunity to take revenge, but we never got the chance” the girl in red finished with a somber expression.

(Y/N) reached over and covered the girls’ hands with his own, and began reassuring them, “don’t worry. Roman will soon be nothing more than a former gangster and a symbol not to fuck with us.” The girl’s mood soon brightened and smiles quickly returned to their beautiful faces. And as the Reaper handed Mel back her Scroll, the duo went back to sitting down comfortably in their seats, waiting for their next instructions.

The women standing next to the Reaper then spoke up, “so what do we do next hon?”

“Can you call up Junior for me? It seems we’re gonna need some more information on Roman’s location.”
