Chapter 11
Ray's POV
"Hey Ladies, do you girls know where the washroom is?" I ask them.
"Yes, Miss Fox, come with us." Miss Wolf says excitedly and she drags Miss Fox with us who is just quiet.
We go to the washroom and we fix our make up.
"So, your husbands, what are they like?" I ask them as I reapply my lipstick.
"Well, Mr. Wolf is so handsome and smart, and he's super sweet and genuine." Miss Wolf says to me with a smile.
"Mine, is the leader of the household." Miss Fox whispers nervously, choosing her words carefully.
"He's abusive." I conclude and Miss Fox looks alarmed. "Don't worry, I know what it's like to have a 'Leader of the Household', Mister Cat saw you flinch when he tried to twirl you, your choosing your words carefully, your very careful not to get in his way and act like a perfect wife." I say to Miss Fox.
"Wow, your husband is shitty." Miss Wolf says surprised.
"How do you?" Miss Fox asks worried.
"He was being persistent to get me to come home with him tonight and proceeded to try and threaten me with a knife in his sleeve. Miss fox may I see your arms?" I ask as I turn to look at her.
Miss Fox looks nervous, but she holds out her arms. I pull up her sleeves and she's got multitudes of bruises. Miss Wolf looks at them in shock.
"May I see your shoulders?" I ask and she pulls her sleeves down carefully, looking ashamed, she has thousands of cuts and scars. "May I see your back?" I ask and she shakes her head. "Is it bad?" I ask her and she nods. "Ok. I have my evidence. Miss Wolf, Miss Fox, there's gonna be something going down tonight." I say to the two.
"My husband didn't." Miss Wolf says surprised.
"I took the job, because my step father was an abusive asshole and killed my mother, incase Miss Fox is probably already pregnant, her children shouldn't have to go through the bullshit he's putting her through. Me and my partner have a plan set. But I need help with the security, Miss Wolf, I need you to get me behind the curtain. But first, Miss Fox, would you like to be freed from your asshole of a husband?" I ask her.
Miss Fox tears up and she nods. "Please, just stop him." Miss Fox whimpers softly and I pull her into a tight hug. Miss Fox cries softly into my shoulder and after a couple of minutes, we fix up Miss Fox.
"Ok. We have a deal. I'll get you backstage, but we have to sweet talk the guards. I'm not aloud back there without my husband." Miss Wolf says to me.
"Not a problem, just tell you husband when he's going back to get ready, that you'd like to show me around back there." I say to Miss Wolf who nods.
"Isn't that political foul play and you could get arrested?" Miss Fox whispers.
"Honey, she's already a villain." Miss Wolf says to her and Miss Fox stares at me with wide eyes.
"Did you step-father force you to be like that?" Miss Fox whispers.
"No, I just think heros are a load of bullcrap. The only two heros to help me were Endeavor and All Might. The rest have been total self-conceited assholes." I say to Miss Fox who nods. "AFO has been more of a good influence on me than my real family." I continue with a shrug. I pull out my gun to make sure it's loaded.
"How did you get that in here?" Miss Wolf asks surprised.
"A friend of mine is a security guard tonight." I say to Miss Wolf and she looks surprised. "He owed me a favor cause I saved his life." I continue.
I pop out the ammo and I pop it back in. I put my gun in it's holster.
"Why would you carry a gun? Don't you have a quirk?" Miss Fox asks me worried.
"Yeah. A very strong quirk, but it takes a while to kill people with it unfortunately, I like my gun more than my quirk when doing missions. It's a faster method." I say to Miss Fox. "Besides, my partner has my back." I say to Miss Fox.
"Then, are you two dating?" Miss Wolf asks confused.
"Nope, he's insanely hot though." I say to Miss Wolf who nods amused. "We hit on each other, Mouse is usually what he calls me, to fluster the shit out of me." I say and Miss Wolf looks amused by that. "He got me drunk last night, it was great, he didn't try anything unfortunately. We had fun though." I say with a slight smile.
"Jeez you two need to get together." Miss Wolf says to me.
"Nah. I like this right now. The talking stage is great, I don't know him as well as I want to yet, I wanna make him angry, push it to the limits and see his natural reaction. Then I want to see what he does when he's happy, and when he's drunk. When he's having bad days. The talking stage for me is a trial, I don't want to go into a relationship and then be stuck, my Mom did that and it didn't end well for either of us." I say to Miss Wolf who smiles at that. "Your husband, actually, Miss Wolf, defended my step-father in court, back when he was a crime attorney." I say to Miss Wolf and she looks slightly confused and then goes into thinking.
"Next to nobody remembers him being a crime attorney, except for the Kage family." Miss Wolf says confused. "And, a few other families, and a daughter of a dead hero." Miss Wolf continues and then she looks up at me in shock. "Your the daughter of Mizukage." Miss Wolf whispers.
"Now do you see why I'm cautious about relationships? And why I was able to see the signs of abuse in Miss Fox?" I ask Miss Wolf and she nods.
"You poor dear." Miss Wolf says and she hugs me tightly. "That case was bad." Miss Wolf whispers.
I step back quickly. "No. I just delt with that asshole, I'm on a mission, I don't do feely emotions on my end on missions, they're a distraction, plus I don't need to be thinking about that." I say to Miss Wolf quickly.
Miss Fox clings to my side to and I watch the wall for a moment as the two hug me.
Then Miss Wolf steps back. "That would make you 17." Miss Wolf says to me quickly in surprise.
I wink and she just looks more shocked.
"Your so smart, oh my god." Miss Wolf says as it hits her that I'm really smart.
"I would hope so, I do Calculus for school, I've been to hundreds of these events around the world." I say to Miss Wolf and she just stares at me.
"Your a genius. Miss Fox, if your ready, we all need to go back." Miss Wolf says to us.
Miss Fox checks her reflection while I check my dress in a mirror.
Miss Wolf takes our arms and drags us back out and we go back to our table.
Dabi instantly gets up to greet me and he motions for me to come talk with him. "What's wrong?" I ask him quietly as I follow as he takes my arm and walks quickly, dragging me with him practically.
"I need a smoke, we need to talk and quick." Dabi whispers in my ear.
We get outside and Dabi lights himself a smoke while he watches me.
"The tall blonde politician, the one who threatened you with a knife, he took me aside into another room and held me at gun point to make sure I didn't try anything tonight. The bastard is a damn good actor." Dabi says to me.
I check him over and I find a wire as he smokes. I pull the wire out and Dabi just stares at the wire.
I try to rip the wire for a moment and I hold my hand out for Dabi to hand me something sharp, a feather places in my hand and I cut the wire in half. "Thanks." I say and I look up to see Dabi, and then Hawks next to him, Dabi just looks more petrified than before. "Dear god." I say and Hawks smirks at me.
"Little Lady." Hawks says to me as he walks over to me.
"Jesus fucking christ this is annoying, I have another issue to deal with, if the heros could keep their nose out of my business, I could save a few lives in there by ending someone elses." I say to Hawks who looks surprised by that.
"Woah, chill out little birdie," Hawks starts.
"No, stay out of our business, I'm sick of the heros butting in on my missions and fucking everything up and then more people than necessary, die." I say to Hawks.
Hawks puts his arm next to my face, pinning me to the wall. I look up at him defiantly.
"You need to chill out little birdie. I'm here to help." Hawks says to me with a smirk.
"Back off me, or get kneed in the balls." I say through my teeth.
"She will." Dabi says as he smokes a second cigarette, he's so stressed out.
"Dabi, take a moment to breath fresh air for a moment, the little birdie won't hurt me." Hawks taunts and I knee Hawks in the balls. Dabi and I watch as Hawks falls, and his face lands in my chest.
Dabi pulls Hawks off me and Dabi pulls me over to him quickly. "Listen, I'm really good in heels, but chill out on the pulling please, I will trip." I say to Dabi who nods.
Hawks gets up after a moment of me and Dabi quietly talking about what I found on Miss Fox.
"He beats his wife and she has bruises all over?" Dabi asks me in shock.
"Yes. I asked to see her arms, bruises all over her arms, her shoulders have scars from being cut, she wouldn't show me her back, but she motioned it was bad. He's an abusive con-artist." I say to Dabi as I think. "Miss Wolf agreed to get me backstage. Her husband, seems like a genuine good guy. The folder I received earlier, said that he was hiring us, under the pretense of foul play, in reality, the two got drunk at another dinner party, and he watched him snap at his wife and beat her." I say to Dabi whose eyes widen. "I'm pretty sure she's most likely pregnant by now since she had signs of it. I could tell she was trying to keep from throwing up while we were talking, at the dinner table, the bathroom and while I was dancing with her. I made casual touches while fixing her make up to see if she had a fever and was actually sick, but she didn't feel clammy or warm." I say to Dabi. "There have been other signs, but I'm not quite sure of them." I say to Dabi who nods. "And the worst part, if he's arrested, he'll get a few years for domestic violence and then go do it to Miss Fox again." I say to Dabi as I think. "I'm shooting him. The guy who hired us even realizes, as an ex-attorney, agrees that he shouldn't be alive after what he's done to his wife." I continue.
"Are you sure you aren't letting your feelings get in the way of this?" Dabi asks me.
"Dabi, he threatened you at gunpoint, he tried to threaten me with a knife while dancing in front of everyone, to go home with him, so he could do whatever he wanted to me, and probably kill me. He beats his wife, he's a scumbag." I say to Dabi.
"I agree." Mr. Wolf says to me as he joins us. "Miss Mouse, who I assume is Lady Cascade, I hired you to kill him. While that sounds harsh, like you said, he'd only get a few years for domestic violence. We have no proof he's killed anyone, so there's no hope of getting him committed like the case of Randy Kage." Mr. Wolf says to me.
"You were his attorney." I remind him.
"I displayed the evidence to the opposing attorney that he did it." Mr. Wolf says to me with a smirk.
"Your sneaky son of a bitch." I say and Mr. Wolf chuckles.
"Miss Mouse, there will only be one chance for you to do this. Miss Wolf has Miss Fox over with a group of ladies, let me take you backstage as soon as I can." Mr. Wolf says to me.
"No. There's another way to do this. Right before your campaign, when you and Mr. Fox are going back, me, Miss Wolf and Miss Fox are going with you guys under the pretense of Miss Wolf showing me around. Miss Fox will then be escorted by a guard outside for safety when you and Mr. Fox go onstage. From there, someone will call the heros, when the campaign starts, I will kill Mr. Wolf as an assassination, then me and my partner will be gone. We will then regroup behind the crowd of people as they'll be stuck in the building. The only issue, is when the heros come, they'll recognize us." I say to Mr. Wolf who nods.
"Seems as how your partner is smoking, me and Miss Wolf will cover, saying you two went out back for fresh air, heard the gunshot, and left quickly since you had the chance to run. There will be no need for you to regroup. However, with how Miss Wolf is infatuated with you, I still have my license as a criminal attorney, here is my card to get a hold of us, and, you'll be attending more dinners similar, because I like to dig up dirt on people as a nice past time, your a clever girl and figures out a lot more than I do with simple signs." Mr. Wolf says as he hands me a card.
I hand the card to Dabi who puts it in his pockets. "I don't like rules that normal people have to live by. I prefer being a villain. It's a lot more free." I say to Mr. Wolf who nods amused.
Dabi finishes a fourth cigarette and I take his box before he could light another. "H-Hey!" Dabi says shocked.
I look at him with a slight pout. "I get your stressed, this situation sucks, but we have a plan now. So I need you, to relax on the cigarettes for a moment." I say to Dabi who nods. "We have to continue acting, which means the cigarette smell isn't gonna do you any good." I say to Dabi calmly, getting him to calm down.
"Why do you carry a gun? Your quirk would be strong enough to kill him." Hawks asks me confused.
"It's more effective. My quirk takes too long." I say to Hawks. "Hawks, since your here, take control of security, get them to lock the doors, your a good undercover guy, you should be able to come up with something. Then call the heros before the campaign starts." I say to Hawks.
Hawks pouts, but grabs my waist which pisses Dabi off. "Come on little birdie, why can't me and flamey take turns to be your partner?" Hawks asks me.
"Hawks, get your hand off-"
"Get your hand off my waist or I'll chop it off with your own feather." I say to Hawks.
Hawks continues to pout, but away from me. "Why are you so mean?" Hawks pouts.
"Cause no one touches me, unless I allow it." I say to Hawks who continues to pout.
Dabi smirks at that and he looks considerably calmer than before.
We go inside and I relax as as me and Dabi go to meet Miss Wolf and Miss Fox.
Miss Fox moves behind me as Mr. Fox joins us, she's simply moving out of his way.
"Miss Fox, do it." Mr. Fox orders.
"I'm so sorry." Miss Fox whispers behind me and a knife stabs me in the back,
