Angel Monarch

"We will save them and kill all those fucking rapists! I swear it!"

Bea didn't know what to say. Seraphine said it with so much conviction, that even she believed her. It didn't matter who or what gets in their way, they will rescue everyone who needs saving and kill the rest.

"Yes. We will." Whispered Bea.

They looked at each other for a couple more minutes and realizing how close they were, both turned away embarassed.

"Uhm... Thanks for cheering me up..." Said Bea still not daring to look at her.

"I just payed back the dept I owed..." Answered Seraphine, she sounded as awkward as she felt.

Taking a deep breath Bea looked at her and continued their earlier conversation.

"So, do you have any more questions?"

"For now I only want to know one thing. When do we attack those fucks?"

She didn't have to specify who 'those fucks' are. It was pretty obvious.

"Okay, then let's continue this conversation with the others. What do you say, ready to meet the rest of the team?" Bea said with a kind smile.

"Uhm... Sure, I guess." Seraphine looked a bit afraid.

"You don't have to worry. They are all good people who just want to help."

"It's not that... My only problem is... Huhh... My only problem is that, you are the first person I spoke with sincerely since the destruction of Newber, which was..."

Seraphine looked at her Watch and made a weird face.

"1 and a half months? I was out for nearly a month?"

"Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you, sorry."

Bea felt a bit guilty, she forgot to tell her that she was in a coma. With her being awake and the things she learned about Seraphine, it just didn't came up.

"It's... It's okay... But as you see I'm not really good with conversation." Said Seraphine with a sad expression.

She knew what Seraphine meant, their first meeting wasn't the best. But they were running out of time, by morning Deathbringer and his troops will arrive.

"Okay, I'm going to be honest with you. You asked when will we attack them, truth be told, we won't. Instead, by morning 70 troops and one lieutenant will arrive here to make slaves of us all."

Seraphine didn't look scared at all by that information, she was even excited judging by that stupid grin on her face.

"So they are coming here to die. How convenient." Seraphine started laughing when she said it.

"Are you insane?" Bea was really dumfounded. Where did the traumatized girl go and who is this killmonger.

"Probably, but in a world of insanity staying sane is impossible. And it's not like we have other options, either we kill them or they kill us. That's the rule of the world."

"Well, you are not wrong. Huhh... Fine let's make a plan with the others then."

They went outside of the infirmary and began walking toward the designated conference room. On the way a lot of people stared at them especially at Seraphine. After a while Seraphine whispered to her.

"Why are they staring at us?" She looked very tense, while asking that.

"I don't understand, it's because of your looks of course."

"What do you mean my looks? Yes I'm average looking, but not so ugly to be stared at."

It was Bea's turn to be confused.

"Average? If you're average than I'm ugly. Wait, you don't know how you look?"

Bea nearly laughed, but when she looked at Seraphine's sad expression her mood instantly changed. Seraphine answered in a barely audible voice.

"I haven't seen myself in a mirror since the morning I went to school for the last time."

'Shit, I always forget how much she went through in less than 2 months.'

Bea put a hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"Well, then let me tell you, I haven't seen a more beautiful person in my life."

That made Seraphine smile and then she turned away with a red face.

"Uhm... Thanks I guess."

They walked the rest of the way in comfortable silence and arrived at the room in a few minutes. Bea glanced at Seraphine to see if she would change her mind or not. But she only looked a bit tense, so they went in.

The people in the room were in a heated conversation when they stepped in.

"No you idiot, that won't work, they have their own scout that knows the city enough." Said Clockwork angrily.

"Then what do you suggest, if you are so smart?" Said Lucy with the same amount of anger.

'Seems like they were at it for a while now.'

Clockwork was about to answer Lucy's question probably with a couple of vulgar words, but Will intervened.

"Lady Bea, you arrived and brought our guest!"

That shut everyone up, there were 5 people in the conference room before she and Seraphine walked in.

"I know we have to plan the defense for tomorrow, but before that introduction's are in order."

The first to go was of course Lucy.

"Hello, my name is Lucy. I'm the scout of the group. That idiot sitting in glasses is Clockwork, he is our techy."

Clockwork gave an angry glance at Lucy but didn't rise for her provocation. Instead he said:

"Hey, nice to see you got better."

He couldn't even make eye contact with Seraphine, well no one blamed him.

'She is very good looking after all, I'm curious how good is she in bed? Wait, what am I thinking.'

In the meantime Will and Witchdoctor introduced themselves as well. Which only left Luke.

"Hi, I'm Luke or Killshot which ever one you like honey." He smiled at her very inappropriately.

'Fuck, I forgot about his personality. This is going to be bad if I don't intervene.'

Indeed Seraphine's face began to sour and her body became more tense. Like a predator about to pounce. Everyone noticed it, but before the situation could escalate Bea intervened.

"Luke, you stupid fuck! Do you have a death wish? That's why you insult the strongest person in the room?!"

This sentence coming from Bea, made everyone's eyes widen with surprise. Because all of them knew that she was the most powerful in the room or at least before Seraphine entered.

With a smile Bea said: "Seraphine, if you would like to, please introduce yourself."

Seraphine gave her a similar wicked smile and answered: "With pleasure."
