Chapter 28

Here you go!

Did some change around and debate on certain plots. Well, I decided to hey I can actually make it work this way and maybe with those upcoming episodes! At least with the first one.  So, hurray!

I would go back to read, optional, Chapter 24 as there are a few things that have changed just to fix the current situation after deciding this. Same with Chapter 27 but really, I just added that Blitz said hi to Doc Medea when they all were leaving but for work. So, you don't have to go back to read that.

Thank you! Apologies for any confusion. Enjoy the chapter!

Medea is in a way part of Moxxie life.

Not just Doctor and patient. He helps out a lot in different ways for Moxxie to get use to their new home with Maria. A babysitter a few times. The one who taught them to play the instrument. He, along with Maria, the ones who really know the truth of Moxxie birth. He the only one Moxxie goes to for medical reasons. Even if they technically don't need to at times. But under certain situations and events they have gone to him. The one who been part of their life and even some with Striker.

In a way he kind a part of the package deal if you do get close to Moxxie family neither of the two don't say it out loud. One would get hissy about it while the other just give you an amused smile.

"So, you're Ivy." Medea smiled up at her and handed out to shake. "Pleasure to meet you dear. I heard quite a few small stories about you."

"You as well Doctor." Lean down a little to shake his hand. "Great to see the physical than the picture."

"Aww Moxxie were you showing pictures of little old me." Medea grinned at the imp. They pull their scarf higher up.

"Only to know who to watch out from you Troll."

"How thoughtful." Look back at Ivy. "Yes, Maria showed me a picture of you. I had to say I was a bit taken back."

"Really." Please don't be the usual comment one of them would hear at time.

"Got together with another business woman." Smile at her direction. "No, heads hitting the other because if the other business."

"No, no, no. No, head hitting. We good. We work, work, work. Don't let it crash with this other. So, um thank you?"

"No, problem mame." Look at the menu. "I'll try the bacon croissant with just some black coffee."

"Sure. Mox same?" Got a nod yes. "I'll bring it over."

"Thank you."

The pair go to a booth to sit down.

"He still crying out there." The cab driver was still parked there. Many avoid it.

"Just helping out. A cry good to let it out too." Look out the window. You would think he was looking at the cab. Really if you look at the angel on his head he is just staring at the sky.

"Do you like coming here?" Moxxie figuring out the right way to ask such questions.

"I liked it back then. Too many buildings for my taste."

"We got building."

"Yes, but they're not fully spread out in Wrath. Those I'm fine with. This," Motion outside and the building towering around. "Just a no. But I don't mind like this building. It's a nice café. Love the security system."

A vine smacks a sinner.

"Yeah. Helpful." 

The two get their breakfast, and drinks. Silence as the pair just to deal with their meal. Ivy would come over to sit with them a bit and chat with Medea. The older imp not minding in the slightest. Grin at the scowling Moxxie when he tells Ivy some stories. She couldn't help but laugh at a few.

"You were bad."

"No, duh I was bad and dumb."

"I should call Maria up about this."

"Don't you dare call her."

"I have a right as her girlfriend."

"I have a right as her kid."

"On what other grounds."

"I can bribe Selena for intel."

"You sneaky little brat. After all I done for you."

"You're the one who hired me and wouldn't accept letting me get paid with chocolate coin. I'm still 'traumatized' when I saw you two make out on the table."

"That was years ago! That ex-boss of yours is worse with all the crude junk he spats out."

"It may be true but a child walking in whatever a parent doing will be the top meter."

Ivy rubs her eyes as she let out a groan and muttered to herself. Moxxie just casually drinking their hot chocolate. Medea snickered at the interaction even after Ivy went back behind the counter.

What an interesting family this turned into.

The pair headed off from the café and continued their walk. Not really focusing on a certain place or time. It was a free day so to speak.

Just walking and it didn't bother either one of them. Medea would point out something interesting. Would like at it behind the glass window or if it some demon. A few inside jokes between the pair.

Then they arrived at a park.

Got a few looks as if they were the only imps inside this park but didn't care to comment. It's a park. Let them walk. Feed some cannibal crows. One point Medea playing chest game in certain part of the park under some trees. A few tables set out. Medea enjoying himself while Moxxie would watch or sit down by them while reading.

"What the hell?" The sinner yelled, some crab looking fellow as he stared at the board. Four others behind. Two other tables occupied for a while.

"I said Checkmate." Medea smiled across from the other.

"How the fuck some Imp beat me! You're not even opening your eyes!"

"Well, I played of course for a long time. I mean it has been a while since I played few matches."

"You have to be cheating!"

"How can I cheat? Especially witnesses by your side." Knock another piece down while smiling at them.

"Try to beat this!" Pull out a gun but didn't get to shoot at all.

Moxxie pistol whipped the gun out of his hand. Tail caught it. Point both guns at him while Medea was watching with a pleased smile. The sinner shakes with an enraged look.

"Come now it's just a game of chess. I would rather get murdered over something that is actually exciting not a sore loser." Put the pieces back on the board. "Another? Anyone?"

"Fuck no not playing with you, or little guard dog, you little shi- "

"What lovely day to roam these parks? My, my so I see others playeth a game of chess."

In an instant everyone freezes. Well not everyone.

Moxxie tilt their heads how fast the guy's head turned and then suddenly just ran away screaming. Shrug and look at the gun. Medea was too busy putting the chest pieces together.

Did it get really, really quiet in the pack?

In fact, there was nobody around them besides one tall sinner, very tall and thin-built, spider-like   wears all-black clothing, with a pitch-black cloak that covers most of his body. Spider décor around his body. A big black top hat with a light grey patch at the front, along with a gray colored skull and a lime green and red striped feather on the right side. Dark gray skin. A pair of lime-green eyes staring across with a smile of his own on his face.

"It is. I was quite pleased to see a few still playing. Hmm looks like they all left." Glance around at the empty park beside the three of them and shrug. "Care for game if you have the time?"

"My it would be rude on my part if I left after being asked." He sits down across from Medea. "I Hope I'm not interrupting your two time with me playing. "

"Nonsense we have plenty of time plus I did ask."

"Not in a rush Scarecrow." Sits back on the ground and takes the clip out the gun. Look over the weapon.

"Scarecrow?" Stare down and chuckle. "My, my not many bold to call out another with such names in my presence."

"Don't mind them their sweet."

"Lying rude."

"You shall go first."

"I thank thee for letting me play."

"You're welcome let's enjoy."

Under the clock to see a long pair of fingers. Grab a piece and do his move. "I must say even though we have started. I'm again pleased to be asked to play I don't get to do it often."

"Busy after life." Move their piece next.

"There is that and I know others are busy the same as I. But some can't either cheat, or not last too long. Other occasions many don't stay long around me unless have too."

"Understandable and there lost." Tap their leg,

The sophisticated sinner chuckles. "Thou are correct in a way I agreed."

During their match there will be silence or word exchange. Moxxie doesn't interrupt them and when they are done with the gun. Useful parts. Go back to reading. Still a little odd nobody around besides the crows and passing rats.

"Checkmate."  Smile as the others stare at them and then back at the board. "Almost got me."

"I must say. My fault for letting that happen as I thought thou might be easy. But thou caught me by surprise." Stare at his pieces taken and smile very big as another pair eyes open. Can see the red iris. "Thy care for another game and I don't slack."

"Why of course." Smile wide as well. The two played another round and this time he won. But this one was a close round as well.

Moxxie stare at the two getting very into it. Look around a bit and spotted one those food trucks outside the park gate. Look at their phone of the time. Thinks it over and can just hear Striker snapping at him for not eating. Great better take care of that even just a snack. Began to stand. "Hey I see a food truck over there. I'm going to get something. Would you like anything?"

"Just some water shall do."

"What about you Scarecrow?"

Look at the imp and smile, look just so damn please. Like they are getting high off a chess. "Hmm I prefer tea but it probably won't have it. If not, water shall do young one."

Moxxie nods and walks to the area they saw the kart park at the entrance.

"Now where were we?"

"I was about to take your bishop."

"How dirty of you to make a move like that."

"Part of the plan."

"My, my thou better be careful I might want to pick your brain."

"Funny enough I was threatening that way many times."

"How it goes?"

"I'm here as you can see."

"You are quite a pleasant one." Took a piece. A few minutes of silence as one at the other either take their time or move another piece. "I must admit I play this game with many interesting ones who died and live here. Yet, this is the first time in all my years living down here to play against an imp."

"Caught you off guard in another way." Study the board and move a piece.

"Indeed. Which is quite unfortunate. Could have encountered the ones who arrive here before their passing or left." Stare and move another.

"We tend to do that." Knock a piece down. "Being look down so easily."

They wondered how Moxxie fairing

Back with Moxxie who was by the food truck to pick up drinks and even got a snow cone.

"YOU!"

~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

What did you all think?

Enjoying the interaction along with a surprise guest aka Scarecrow?

I bet you can guess who the one who spotted Moxxie.

I just wanted to put this down just in case everyone forgot. Like, currently, who knows certain intel about Moxxie tear marks, magic (can vary only showing certain amount), Puppet (Same like magic or with certain few just knows Puppet as the one who helped), Flaw and time as Error.

Maria, Medea *Krampus, Cubone*: Tear Marks, Magic, Puppet, Flaw and Error.

Striker: Tears Marks, Magic, Flaw and Puppet.

Stolas, Octavia: Tears Marks, Magic, and Puppet.

Blitz: Tear Marks. Knows only Puppet as the helper not because their Moxxie.

Millie: Flaw, Knows only Puppet as the helper not because their Moxxie.

Loona, Sallie, Esme: Knows only Puppet as the helper not because their Moxxie.

Ivy: *secretly* Knows about the tear marks and magic. Flaw

Fact notes so far: Currently (In the chapter), we are in 'April'. Probably called something different in Hell but it is April if you're wondering about the time line. So, three months are about too past and three to go till the next Extermination.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
