(I modified Amelia’s Identifying Marks, Conditions, and added a couple details to the Tricky Skippers in the notes)
The man rose an eyebrow, bewildered.
“What the fuck are you talking about? The Amelia I knew was a stone-cold bitch that decided to shoot my leg off one day. If you’ve got yourself an Amelia worth having, then I’m happy for you,”the man said.
“ that would be my Amelia your talking about. “ he said in a cold voice. Hiro could feel his anger rising with every dumb word this man was saying “ Amelia is sweet and caring. Not a bitch. “
The man’s expression darkened.
“Well, small world. And, yes, she is. I don’t know, or care, how long she’s been riding you, but she’s heartless. A beautiful, heartless bitch that’ll drop you as quickly as she shot me. Why do you think she’s called Heartbreaker?”
He huffed and walked away, disappearing into the crowd.
“ fuck face.” Keigo said and walked back to Amelia. He looked at the necklace with her name shaped out, “ Amelia! Come here a moment!”
Amelia looked down and smiled at him.
“Hold on a sec. This one spot is being a pain in the ass,”she called back.
She turned back to dulling a sharp edge of the scratch. It finally decided to dull and she sighed, rolling her eyes that it had been so temperamental. She then packed up her tools and climbed down.
Amelia set the bag down near the ship and walked over to him.
“What is it, love?”she asked with a grin.
She did notice a hint of something dark in his eyes, but she decided to ask later. Considering, it was likely irritation at someone he had encountered in the market.
Keigo kissed her, distracting her long enough to put the necklace around her neck. “ love you.” he said
Amelia chuckled at his kiss, then noticed the necklace. She looked at it and saw her name etched into it. A big smile spread across her face. She giggled and hugged Keigo.
“I love you too. Thank you, love, it’s beautiful,”she said.
Keigo hugged her, though when he looked up something caught his eye, that man from the market.
The man smirked and shook his head. Then he grabbed a small device from his pocket and spoke into it. After a moment, he grinned evilly at Keigo, then walked away.
Keigo looked a little confused but tried not to fuss about it “ soo get the ship fixed ?”
“Yeah. All it needs now is a fresh spot of paint and it’ll be barely more than a memory. And, from what I had seen, it was the only damaged spot on both ships, which is wonderful,”Amelia replied.
“Everything alright, dear? You tensed up a bit just a second ago?”she added, a bit confused.
“ it's nothing, I thought I'd seen someone. “ he said and walked past her and into his ship.
Amelia watched him go, then turned around. She walked over to where the person had likely been, looking around. Nothing showed.
“Oh, this is a fucking red flag,”she muttered to herself.
She then retrieved her bag and put it back in her ship. When she stepped out of her ship, a large dagger met her throat. She froze.
“Been a few, hasn’t it? Now, get back up in there, slow and quiet. One little squeak and you’re done,”the voice of an older man hissed.
Amelia backed up, recognizing the voice as that of Shank, the helmsman of her old gang. Shank followed her in and gently shut the door, ushering her back further. As Amelia backed up, she bumped into her monitors, subtly hitting the voice message button. She hoped Keigo would go to his room, so that he’d notice the currently recording message on her pad.
“Heard you joined a new gang, eh? That’s a pity, but only somewhat. I never liked you, though I won’t deny that I appreciated you shooting that fucking prick, Fire-Breather. Now, what’s the plan, little miss, rob us after we get the loot?”Shank asked.
“Fuck you, Shank. I don’t need the Tricky Skippers, or even better, Maxim’s pet barging in every time I hang out with other people. What I do in my private time is my business. I made my point clear that I’m a solo pilot, so I’m not bound to you or that piece of shit,”Amelia snarled.
Amelia had deliberately named the gang and the situation so that the recorder caught it. Sure, she could handle herself in a fight, but she was caught off-guard and dealing with someone who had many years of professional training. She didn’t want to dare a fight like this unless she had backup.
Keigo had in fact been in his room, though he grabbed his Glock and ran over. Not making a peep when he entered. The only visible sighed someone had entered would have been clear to the person facing the door as only wisps of his holy white hair were seen when he raced to find a hiding spot. Keigo would wait until Amelia said she needed help.
Amelia noticed white hair breifly appear. Keigo had gotten her message!
Shank stepped forward, pointing his dagger at her.
“I’m not Maxim’s pet, I’m his helmsman. You, little miss, didn’t answer my question. What are you and your new friends planning? You after the ship Beta-Man sent you?”Shank hissed.
“No, dumbass! I was planning on calling him to say no, but, of course, you decided to show up,”Amelia retorted.
“Don’t you call me a dumbass! And I know you. You don’t take long to make calls. You’re hiding something.”
Amelia scowled,”I do get busy. I am a mechanic! So, fuck off!”
“You weren’t fixing anything when I came up. But, that aside, you’re coming with me. Maxim would like to have a word in person, but he knows better than to approach a gang he doesn’t know,”Shank mentioned.
“Tell Maxim to go fuck himself.”
“So, you’re not coming willing? Alright, I don’t mind a challenge,”Shank snorted.
“If you try anything, don’t damage the package. I remember how Maxim preferred to do that himself,”Amelia said.
Her words were also aimed at Keigo, a warning to not kill Shank.
“Yeah, he still does that. It’s a pity you didn’t shoot off his balls. But, eh? Means I can do that later when the money stops flowing,”Shank replied. He then lunged for her.
Keigo jumped out from behind Amelia “ touch her and ill Neuter you like the dog you are. “ he said with a cold tone. He held the Glock directly on the mans forehead. “ I will fuck your whole goddamn life up!”
Shank paused mid-swing, glancing between Amelia and Keigo.
“So, got yourself a new toy, eh? An impressive one too,”Shank remarked.
Surprisingly quick, he pushed Keigo’s arm higher and ducked, his other arm swinging, dagger flying to impale Keigo.
Amelia shrieked and pulled out one of her daggers and hit Shank in the throat with the pommel. He gasped and coiled, choking.
Amelia snatched Shank by the throat and slammed him into the wall, a furious scowl on her face. All signs of her gentleness were gone.
“Get the fuck out, Shank. If you ever sneak up on me again, I will fucking kill you without remorse,”she growled.
She shoved Shank to the door and brutally kicked him out. She then grabbed his dagger and threw it at him, the tip imbedding in the floor in front of his nose.
Amelia shut the door and sat down in the pilot’s seat, breathing deeply. She then tapped the recorder, turning it off, before settling back in the seat.
Keigo felt his adrenaline rush, his watch flashing yellow. He quickly started to shake, it wasn't bad. Just more like a shiver in the cold, though he was staying upright. It only took a few seconds for it to pass. His brain wrapped around what just happened and he recovered enough to speak “ Amelia! A..are you ok.okay”
Amelia turned at his shaky voice, concerned.
“I’ll be fine. Are you okay?”
She stood up and guided him to her seat, letting him sit down while she leaned against the wall next to him.
“ I.. I'm fine. He said standing back up “ I can't sit right now. “ he said still shaking lightly. His watch had just started fading from yellow. He pulled Amelia into a hug. “ you fucking scared me.”
Amelia noticed his watch with concern, but gladly accepted the hug.
“I’m sorry if I did. Shank, the asshole, caught me off guard. He’s ex-military, and I knew I couldn’t fight him alone. He’s typically mellow, but I guess Maxim offered him extra pay to capture me. I didn’t even realize they were here,”Amelia said.
“ I'm sorry, I knew. He.. Maxim.. Approached me at the market. He was..was near the ships “ he said, hugging her tighter.
His words nagged at her a bit. Was that why he had seemed a bit tense? Why didn’t he mention it? Why?
“Shit. That bastard likely followed you here. He’s a fucking hound!”she hissed.
Abruptly, the monitor beeped, signaling an incoming message. It then beeped again, as if it had been answered.
“Uh, sorry for just now hacking into your messaging system, I promise I won’t do it again. It’s, uh, Jonathan. I followed Shank, the old sneaky bastard, when he suddenly decided to get up from napping to one of his old audiobooks. Um, he’s passed out right now, and I’m standing in front of your door. I just want to check on ya, and maybe meet your new pals. I’ll leave if ya want me to.”
The voice went quiet, but the call continued. Amelia sighed, not sure if she was in the mood to talk to anyone besides Keigo.
“ I'm concerned , maybe the bitch of an issue x is with him.. “ he held Amelia close “ I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to run. But clearly, that's not even an option now. “
