+Author's note

Requested by CrossMyRose who wanted a dark theme! Sorry for neglecting this book my dears!

"Promise you'll love me?"

"What kind of a promise is that?"

"A sweet one Jack! Say you'll be mine?"

Sweet laughter surrounded the two lovebirds.

"I've always been yours. Now and forever"

Black jack woke up to a dull throbbing on his head. Whatever happened, he had been hit hard.

He tried to turn his neck, only to find that it was stiff and bruised, dry blood sticking to his face, new scars added to his tattered collection.

He grunted. It wasn't the first time he had been kidnapped, and it certainly wouldn't be the last.

But what was there to fight for anymore? He had no family, no friends, and even Pinoko had been sent away for her protection. And his life? What did it matter to him anymore? His lover had been taken from him more than a decade ago.

He smiled in spite of himself, the tight ropes around his hands and feet felt more welcome than ever. And judging by how bruised and ripped his body was, he was in for a interregation.

No matter. He had nothing to give and nothing to gain.

A light hung over his broken body, the ceiling'a light exagerating his dark lines.

Noticing that he was now awake, a figure started approaching the wounded doctor with long strides, heels clapping onto the bloody concrete floor.

Jack didn't even care of his fate anymore, he didn't bother to even look up at his captor. Whatever. She could do whatever she wanted to do.

A gloved hand gently held out to caress his face. Jack gave a grunt. Was he going to be molested?

Sick bastards.

The gloved hand pulled his gaunt face up, examining his features as the figure tilted it's porcelien face in wonder.

'A mask? Interesting..'

Jack looked back at the figure, and widened his eyes as the person spoke.

"Jack"

Black jack sat there, unable to find words to answer the masked woman.

He knew that voice! He loved that voice! But who-

"Jack"

The woman called his name again, almost sounding like a plea.

His cracked voice shook with emotion.

"(Y/n)?"

The woman unmasked herself and revealed her face.

(Y/n) stood before him. Still with the same face but with a broken hearted gaze. Her eyes no longer glinted life, but rather illuminated death, scars littered her face alone with a cruel cut over her right eye.

"(Y/n), how- y-you..!!"

"Alive. Yes"

(Y/n) looked down at him emotionlessly, cracking the doctor's heart into two.

"What did they do to you..??"

Now gazing at her gloved hand, (Y/n) stared into it absentmindedly.

"The Mafia had sworn vengence after your last surgery on their boss. You cured him but also crippled him"

"He kept Pinoko hostage!"

"-whatever the reason.. I had to pay the price"

Looking up at you in mortification, you stared blankly into his eyes.

"They took me away, tortured me, broke me to make me into something new. And here I am now, an agent on their behalf"

Boring into his eyes, (Y/n) cut the ropes on Black jack's limbs, much to his surprise. What was going on?

That was when a cold hard pistol was pressed against his head, stopping him from getting up.

(Y/n) narrowed her eyes. Darkness covering the upper part of her body.

"It's only me Jack. I'm the one sent to kill you"

Jack sat in place, saying nothing.

(Y/n) gave a watery chuckle.

"There's only one person that can leave this room alive Jack"

Jack smiled to himself. If he could die here.. if he could just end everything right here right now.. if he could bring relief to (Y/n)..

A bang rang out through the room, blood and bits of a skull blew all over the room.

Lying on the ground, (Y/n)'s head was scatted all over the room.

And what was left of her face had a small smile, hopeful that her lover could have a chance to run.
