***   Tony POV   ***

I watch the two of them through the window outside. I can't believe I have to skulk like a rat and walk around my tip-toes after that. She still... I don't fucking get it. I stomp away from the window wanting to go and beat the fuck out of him.

"Woah there." Elmar stops me. "Reason why you look so beaten up?"

"Take a look inside the gym."

He nods. "I saw."

"That fucker-"

He stops me. "He won't get with her, Akali still has feelings for you and I haven't been going out of my way with Jerico to try and nudge her back to you... she never wanted to talk to you and see what we did for you?"

I cross my arms. "She is thinking about it... yeah...."

"See?" He pats my shoulder. "Don't let it show that you are jealous, go and talk to her and ask her if she wants something for dinner or something harmless. If she says no then you shrug it off to show that you aren't as controlling as she thinks you are, if she says yes then we are on the right track."

"Yeah..." I nod slowly. "I just... don't want to lose her."

"Yes yes. Neither of us wants to lose any of the girls." He then hands me something. "Here, a little welcome home present for our bodyguard."

I take the vial and nod. Walking towards the security building, I open the fridge and put a few drops in the milk and water inside the fridge. Nothing a little bit of poison to give you a kick in the gut, you motherfucker.

***   Normal POV   ***

She knocks my hand aside with the dummy gun, wrapping my arm behind my back and the other arm around my throat. I cock my head to the side helping her hold my neck in a way that would cut off all the air from reaching my brain.

"Hold me like this rather."

She tightens her hold as she asks. "Like this?"

"Looks like you have some muscle memory."

"I got it then?" I step backwards pushing my back outward, breaking my arm free I grab her arm and pull her over my shoulder.

Normally slamming them on their backs but I catch her on the way down. She looks up at me with wide eyes, awkwardly chuckling. "Okay, maybe I don't."

I shake my head. "You got it. If fighting someone like me that has practised most of the grapples it gets easier to break out of it but in this situation, you'd try to wrap your legs around my neck on the way down and snap it that way."

"Okay." She clears her throat, not making eye contact anymore, and she asks with a soft voice. "Can you... maybe let me go?"

I lower her down and then offer my hand to lift her back to her feet. She takes it and shakes her head quickly regaining her composure. For someone that ran away, she would have probably been a good assassin if she stuck around.

Better than most of the people in the Agency. Granted she is making small technical mistakes that can turn a situation on its head but that is just because she hasn't been at it for years. 

She clears her throat. "I'm feeling a bit light-headed."

"Sorry about swinging you over so suddenly-"

She stops me. "No, I think I am just running out of energy. Uhm... have you eaten yet?"

"Not breakfast."

"I..." she shakes her head. "I wanted to quickly drive and get takeout for everyone. Maybe we can go get it?"

I blink slowly. Saying with a deadpan tone, "If anyone leaves the house I have to go with them to ensure their safety."

"I... not what... okay yeah I know that." She looks disappointed in my answer.

I watch her carefully. Though before I could say anything I hear someone walk in and I instantly turn my head to see Tony walk in with a stupid grin on his face. Then walking up to the little ring they have he leans against the ropes.

"Hey, Akali. Wanted to get something to eat, want to tag along?"

She looks at me for a brief moment before starting. "Yeah, I am kind of hungry." Then looking at me. "Come on, you have to come with us either way."

She starts walking away, I look at Tony with the same stare as he looks very not happy about me having to tag along even though it is still in my contract to protect them. Well... her. But that was a cute interaction.

I finally crack a smile that I have been holding in. Then let it fade I walk towards my security house to get something to drink, a shower, and dressed to do what I do best.

But I have noticed her stares, I walked in at a point time when she is having trouble with her current boyfriend to a point where they are still fighting to either break it or continue with it. I already noticed the way she looked at me, I don't want to use her to get to Tony but that is how I kill him.

Take her away from him.

In a way that he can see it so that he can despair. All that for the sake of ruining him, breaking his heart and watching him spiral.

Tony will be the easiest to get out of the picture, they will all turn their backs on him and do something incredibly stupid. I don't want it all to end swiftly, I want to let it bleed through their skin.

Show their black blood.

I clean myself, get dressed and walk towards the kitchen. I open the door watching it carefully... I haven't been in here for long. I shouldn't discount the fact that they would try to kill me with poison.

I didn't lock the door either. I look at the placement of the bottles inside and decide that there is a possibility even more so because the placements feel off. I memorized everything about this room for the sake of keeping myself safe.

I am not an idiot.

I dump all of the liquids in the drain and toss them in the bin. Not taking any chances. Should I give them hope? Fake that I drank it?
