The Mercenary Of DC (Rewrite/Cassandra Cain X OC)

Chapter 7: League of Assassins Part 3

Aircraft Storage

Arriving at the hangar, Shiva and Cass stepped out the limousine and grabbed their gear, heading towards Shiva's jet as the walkway was being lowered for them.

"I thought the mercenary was coming." Shiva remarks and Cass sighs.

"He's running late. Said he had to "take care" of something." She informs.

"Would be better if he wasn't coming at all." Shiva admits and Cass gives her a look.

"He said was sorry." She defends and Shiva scoffs.

"I don't care about his sad attempt on my life." She reveals and Cass raises an eyebrow.

"Then what are you mad about?" She questions as they walk onto the jet.

"...It was the comments he made about how he was...attracted to you." Shiva admits and Cass's expression changes to one of surprise.

She then smirks, causing Shiva to narrow her eyes at her.

"What?" She asks, confused.

"You care." Cass simply states and Shiva doesn't respond and just looks away.

"I do. You are my daughter after all." She says with a protective edge in her voice.

"I see...well, his comments do not bother me. Instead, I'm quite...fond of them." Cass admits with a slight smile and it was Shiva's turn to show confusion.

"You...like them?" She questions and Cass nods.

"Yes. I do." Her daughter answers and before Shiva could get another word in, the sound of a taxi could be heard honking aggressively outside the hangar, along with a man yelling in Chinese.

"<You're supposed to pay! My rides aren't free!>"

"Sorry, I don't speak Chinese! But thank you for giving me this free ride. See ya, next time." Alex says waving as he walks towards the jet with his duffle bag in hand.

"Yo! Took me a minute to find this place. But hey, it's all good! Let's take to the skies and rain death from above...all over Nanda fucking Parbat." Alex states with a grin and a chaotic look in his eyes.

"There'll be time for that later. The flight will be 10 hours, so we'll have to go over a plan of attack." Cass informs and he groans.

"Ugh, fine...there better be movies on this thing." Alex retorts and they enter the jet.

As they stepped in, the Merc With A Mouth immediately threw his bag at a seat in the back and he goes to sit down by it.

Shiva sat down in the front, and Cass headed to the back...towards Alex.

She slightly scowled at this but remained calm. Shiva took a deep breath and watched them with a blank stare.

As Cass sat down in front of him, Alex smiles and straightens himself up in a proper position.

"Hello there. I-" He starts to say but Cass cuts him off.

"No. I talk...you listen." She diminishes and Alex was surprised before letting out a nervous chuckle.

"Still mad at me?" He asks and Cass shakes her head.

"No...but I'm disappointed." She admits confusing Alex.

"In Gotham...before you...kissed me. You said you weren't a bad guy. That once I got to know you...You're not that bad." She starts off.

"Yeah, and I-" He tries to say but Cass gives a glare that immediately shuts him up.
