Mouth to talk.
His hands knew what they were doing when they were caressing my bare skin. Did I plan on getting fucked in the bathroom of this bar? no.
My skin burned everywhere he was touching me, that was one thing I could never get used to enough in my line of work, being touched like that and considering that I could feel his excitement on my legs, only made me more repulsed. I was going to enjoy getting him off me.
Kudos to this red dress. I knew it was a good investment. His fingers moved towards my centre and mine moved to find the perfect spot on his neck where I inserted the needle. In a second, he stumbled backwards. He lunged towards me. He choked my neck with his hand, damn maybe he wouldn't be a bad lay. I could have had a good time if it wasn't for this stupid mission. I did not resist him. Eventually, he fell on top of me. I alerted my team and they came in discreetly and took him away.
I looked at myself in the mirror and fixed what I could.
My phone rang, very punctual Mr Rawlins.
"I hope we are even now? " I asked him.
"Absolutely, It was a pleasure doing business with you."
"I wish I could say the same," I told him only to hear him chuckle from the other end. I disconnected the call.
I exited the building and made my way back home. I was no vigilante. I was just a resourceful person and this beautiful world had a habit of underestimating women, which was my best resource of all. Damsel in distress was my favourite character to play. Nobody ever doubts the Damsel, everyone wants to help. Ah, poor, little girl. She needs my help. That was taught to me when I used to steal money from my foster parents. They always trusted me. "Dear little Y/n. She could do no wrong." I did not rob, I used to steal like 20 bucks in a month. Stealing in the subway though. That was different. By the time I graduated high school I was too good at the sleight of hand but it became boring.
Then Ms Hudson happened, the lady who adopted me. She was too good for me. I was 13 when she told me she wanted me and that it would be only her and I. She took care of me when I was sick. She bandaged me when I used to get into fights. She never tried to change me. Only taught me to never hurt anyone, for that I was grateful. I worked harder in my classes and when she told me she was proud of me. It felt like I had everything I ever wanted. A mother.
When I told her I wanted to join the army. She patted my cheek and told me I was a good girl.
I was agile and flexible. Too cunning for my good. After my first round when I returned. I cannot forget her face when she opened the door.
She scanned me from head to toe. I was in my uniform after all.
"Stop staring old woman. I feel shy." I smirked at her.
"And here I thought the army will make you serious. Oh well." She waved her hand and let me enter.
"Sorry to disappoint you, ma'am," I said to her in my soldier voice which made her turn.
"You can never disappoint me Y/n," She said while she pulled me in a hug that I knew she was trying to suppress. She knew I did not like to be touched.
All of this went to shit when I was chosen for a special mission called Cerebrus.
I never thought I would have a whole family but that changed when I met Frank Castle.
I was not tall. I wish I was when I was in school but now it was fun to intimidate people who were taller than me. I was flown to the base of the mission.
I went to report to the lieutenant Castle immediately.
The first time I looked at him, he was a rugged man. Broad and as masculine as masculinity goes. But something he did when he first saw me which pissed me off from the start was the hidden smirk when he gave me a once over.
I controlled myself, I have had my fair share of discrimination especially in the marines. What it does is shows the kind of leaders they are. And I cannot respect a leader, I cannot trust him. That was my first impression of Frank Castle.
"At ease." He commanded. And I followed.
"How many rounds soldier?" That was a new voice. From behind Castle stepped out another soldier.
"2 Sir,"
"This is Lieutenant Russo, second in command," Castle informed. We nodded at each other since I was at ease.
" Settle down. The briefing will start as soon as the captain arrives."
would be my brother if I ever had one. Curtis was one of the nicest human beings I had ever met, so I kept my distance but he forcefully made his way in with his smile which he liked to brag about. Billy Russo, he made his way in too but not in my heart. I wasn't the most moral person out there but I wasn't an idiot to not know that I did not go along with my mouth shut, I wouldn't have a mouth to talk.
