Revenge

I look at him confused.

“I thought we were going to attack the arms deal tonight.”

“No, Ami I only said that to give Oliver the wrong information. I have had my suspicions of him when you both found me in your suite. There is something off with him.”

What do you mean?”, I asked.

“What I mean is I think Oliver has been in contact with someone very high up on Lunar’s chain of command. And I think tonight I might finally have proof”, he explains.

Derek and I talked throughout the night over dinner. We discussed when the real arms deal is going to go down. How we are going to infiltrate the arms deal undetected while at the same time keeping tabs on Oliver’s movements. Derek further explained how he bugged the whole suite minus the bathroom and my old bedroom. He made sure to because he thought that I was capable of cutting him into ribbons without killing him.

Which to be honest I am capable of, so he wasn’t wrong. Cleaning up the dishes and the trash we continued the discussion and eventually started having a debate over the best way to exit the area with speed or with better defense. When his tablet on the counter went off. Derek walks over to it propping it up so we can see. Oliver is on the screen talking on the phone.

“Natsu, they took her out of the suite”, he yells on the phone.

My blood ran cold. Natsu is my mother’s name. He couldn’t possibly work for her could he?

“What did you do to mess this up Ollie”, came a voice on the other end venomously.

“I didn’t do anything. I think she talked to Megan but I am not sure”, came his reply.

The woman signs on the phone.

“My daughter is one of affection. You can only lure her in if you give the affection she desires. Did you show her any?”

“A bit, I gave her a kiss on the head and held her. We talked a bit and I tried gaining her sympathy with a fake story about myself”, he replies.

My blood burns because he tried playing me for a fool. And that he lied to me about his suffering. Oliver was nothing like me. He chose to be with Lunar, to be with my mother and her crazy plan. Oliver didn’t see the evil in her or how wrong she is for wanting to splice people to use them to kill for her.

As well as use them for political gain and wealth. As much as I am furious with him, I am glad of two things one I never did anything sexual with him and two he will suffer from my blades. The thought of slicing him in various ways made a slow cruel smile on my face. Derek caught sight of my smile and knew why as well as what I was planning.

“Ollie you IDIOT!!! Of course she would be suspicious of you! What moron wouldn’t be when their boyfriend doesn’t show them any interest.”

“Well how am I supposed to know Natsu? I am not into a snow leopard freak! I swear I have never seen someone who has taken such a liking to weapons that they constantly hold on to them”, his voice laced with irritation.

“Maybe something has already happened to her, you don’t know and neither do I! Regardless, you royally fucked up. So you best find out how you are going to get her here. Or you will be the one who gets outed one way or another. I already know Derek won’t be returning. The boy has been itichin to leave. Better for me to get rid of dead weight.”

With that Natsu hung up and Derek turned the tablet off. Looking at me with sadness and understanding.

“I never knew your mother saw me as such a deadweight that she would try to send me to my death here.”

“Better than being with a snow leopard freak who is in dire need of attention and affection apparently”, I responded

We were both hurt by the discoveries that we had found out tonight and how they played a part in our plans for the arm deal. We looked at the clock reading 12 am and decided we would go to sleep.

“Ami, may I ask a favor?”

“Sure Derek go ahead”, I responded.

“I don’t see you as a freak and I would like to be your friend if you will have me. But can I sleep in your bed tonight”, he asks.

“Go ahead, I’ll be sleeping on my ledge. This snow leopard freak is looking forward to it.”

Derek chuckles, “Well we will be freaks together I suppose and get back at them for the damage they caused us. At the same time it will help many people”, he states.

Stretching as I walk to my room with Derek behind me.

“Sounds like a plan but I got two conditions.”

“What are those”, he asks as we enter my room.

“One I get to kill my mother and two we take Oliver back so we can torture and kill him.”

“That sounds like a plan to me. I already sent the data to Megan. She will keep quiet. We will use him for intel since he thinks his cover isn’t blown.”

I nod as I enter the closet to get my sleeping clothes then to the bathroom to change and do my daily routine. After brushing my teeth, washing my face and pulling my hair back braiding it then putting it into a bun. I walk out the bathroom with a pair of sleeping shorts and a tank. Derek was laid out on my bed in his boxers, his clothes neatly folded on my desk chair. Using the rock wall hand holds I climb up and on to my ledge.

Looking at my ledge there is a pillow, the ledge is cushioned and a blanket that is rolled next to the pillow. Laying down on it, it fit me perfectly. Now if only I had a sleeping pillow to snuggle with.

“Hey Ami, catch”,Derek called from below.

I see a little fluffy deer fly up, I catch it and examine it. It was a cute male white tailed buck. I could help but giggle knowing that it was Derek’s joke for me sleeping with him.

“Thank you Derek, I love it.”

“Good now let’s get some sleep. We have to train tomorrow if we want to take down that arms deal next month.”

Laying back down on the bed. I closed my eyes and fell asleep on my nice ledge. I awoke to Derek calling me down from my ledge. Opening my eyes, I stretch out my limbs. Looking at a clock across the room that is at eye level as my ledge. It was six in the morning and we have to go train at seven. Climbing down from my ledge.

“Morning Ami”, he smiled, already dressed for training.

“Morning Derek just let me throw on a bra and new tank and we can go.”

“No breakfast”, he asks.

“Not today”, I saw as I entered my closet, closing the door to change.

After I finished changing, I grabbed my training back, attached my blades to my hip. I love the weight of them on me. There was something about it that made me feel safe. Derek nodded as we left to go to the training room on our level. Once there it was the same as above with the same amount of equipment.

I dropped my bag on the bench and went straight over to the treadmill. Stretching before I get on, I set the treadmill to a light jog to warm up my muscles. After fifteen minutes I increased the speed to sprint and kept the speed for an hour before stopping the treadmill. I walk over to the water fountain and I take a drink.

Looking up I see Derek doing weight training. I go to the pull up bar grabbing on I begin to do pull ups losing count along the way. Then follow up with flipping my body over the bar so that I hold myself up with my legs. I began to do crutches stopping after a hundred and my stomach was aching with all the exercise. Flipping myself down I meet Derek at the weapons range part of the area.
