Roxy POV

"Alright, bitches let's have some fun!" Loona said as she threw a twenty-four-pack and a poker set on the table, "Hate to break it to ya, but we don't have money and I don't gambol." Vaggie said, "We're not betting with cash, we'll bet stories. We're from Hell, most of us have to have some good ones." Loona said as she popped open a beer, "Fine I'm in." Charlie said, "And I have to protect her from you deviants." Vaggie said, "Deal the cards fluffy." I said, "Babe you sure about this?" Mira asked, "Yep." I said, "Then I'm in too." Mira said as Loona dealt the cards, "Before we start," I said as I aimed a gun at the window, "Fuck off (y/n) you're not gonna hear any of our shit!" I said, "Aw no strip poker. What a bummer." A strange man said as he crawled off the house, "Did someone call for me?" (y/n) asked as he walked into the room, "Out." we said, "Fine, geez, you called me." he grumbled as he left. "Here's how this is gonna work, we play the chips at their set values, but what determines the story is the size of the pot. Anything less than fifty is a small story, one fifty we get a better story, five hundred is your greatest story, and over a thousand is your origin." Loona said, "Interesting, well then I'll toss in twenty o get the ball rolling." I said as I took a beer and with a flick of my thumb I knocked off the cap. After a few rounds and a few stories about our first times, the pot was finally at 450 and the only ones left in were me, Loona, and Charlie. "I think you should fold now princess." Loona said, "What no!" Charlie said, "Charlotte just fold, she's coming after me and won't stop till she gets what she wants." I said, "So you knew?" Loona said arrogantly, "Yeah, and let's get it over with. I'm all in." I said as Loona matched my bet while Charlie was forced to fold. "Call." We noted as we flipped over two aces, a ten, and a jack. "Four of a kind." Loona said, "You had pocket aces! I've got nothing." I sighed as I flipped over pair of jacks. "Before I say a single word, not a fucking one of you tells (y/n). He won't take it well and I'm scared it'll break him." I said, "Deal." Loona said as I downed three beers, "I used to belong to Valentino. I was whatever he needed. Brawler, bodyguard, assassin, dancer, racer, or whore I was there at a single call. Well by the time I was sixteen, I had a litter of pups. Couldn't tell you who's they were if I wanted to." I said as Mira handed me a drink, "I was given a job, a hit, had to put a few holes in some douchebag's wife. I wasn't given all the details and couldn't kill her. Val didn't like that I came back a failure. He tortured my pups to death and made me watch. Vox held me back while he did it, and Velvet took one as a pet, but that lasted for five fucking minutes before she broke her neck when she started crying. Vox beat the shit out of me for failing Val, and when he was done, Val called me broken merchandise and pulled a gun on me. He shot me and took away any hope I had for having a family. He left me beaten, broken, and in a world of pain I can never forget." I said as I gripped my bottle, "By the time Lilith found me I was a drunken mess of a woman, I was seventeen almost eighteen. I told her what Val did to me and she made him pay. She took me in and adopted me." I said as I lit a cigarette and took a hit, "You wanted my origin story, well there you go." I said, "Being no one's favorite and abandoned twice doesn't seem so bad anymore, now does it? Especially since you have Blitzo looking out for you." I said, "How the fuck did you know?!" Loona growled, "It's my job to know." I said.

(y/n) POV

I went out in the backyard with a popsicle looking for my parents since I was bored, "Son of a scaley bitch." I said as I dropped my popsicle, "Garry." I growled while the massive fifteen-foot alligator hissed at me as I moved out into the yard never breaking eye contact. "I had that scar you gave me till the day I died, you bastard. I was but a weak human back then, but now I can kick your ass! I killed a shark and sent it to Hell!" I said as he slapped me with his tail, "Ok I wasn't ready!" I said as he did it again, "Lucky shot!" I said as he wrapped his tail around my leg, "Oh shit." I said as he pulled my legs out from under me, climbed up a tree, and prepared to elbow-drop me! "MOTHER FUCKER!" I shouted as I dodged, "IT'S CROCODILE DUNDEE TIME BITCH!" I said as I hopped onto Garry's back, "I can't see your face, but I can feel you smiling menacingly." I sighed as he began rolling around. I jumped off when I got the chance, but he grabbed my heel and I could almost hear him say "Get over here!" as he dragged me back into the fight.

Lucky POV

"What the fuck?" I said as I watched a kid fight an alligator, "I thought he was gonna be trouble, guess not." I said as the alligator threw the boy into a wall, the boy pulled himself out of the world, "Well now that I have an audience it's time to get serious." he said as he cracked his neck and looked at me before taking his demon form, "Wait here, Garry. I'll kick your ass in a second." the boy said as the gator hissed, "Fuck you I can too!" he said as he threw a rock past me and made Naruto hand signs. he appeared behind me, "Florida Style, METH NEADLE!" he shouted as he threw dozens of needles at me when that didn't work he threw the rock at me and I fell off the roof! I landed in front of the gator, "BAD GARRY! THAT'S MY KILL!" the boy shouted as he jumped onto the gator's open mouth. "What the fuck!" I said in shock, "Screw it, it's Sith time." he said as he jumped back and lifted me and the gator, "You work for Valentino, don't you? You're his racer. Tell me why you're here." he said, "I'm here to fuck your mom." I said as the gator hissed, "One my mom would fuck you, and two, you are absolutely right Garry! I am being rude not introducing you to my friend. Lucky, this is Garry. Garry, this is dinner if she doesn't tell me what I wanna know!" he said coldly, "Val wants his property back!" I said, "What property? I won the bet!" he said angrily, "She never told you? Roxy belongs to Valentino, she's his property." I said, "And when he gets her back, she's gonna pay for betraying her master." I laughed, "Tell me what you know or I feed you to Garry." he demanded as he moved me toward the gator, "Fine, I'll traumatize you, kid." I said.

Roxy POV

"I'll get us some stronger drinks." I said as I went downstairs and saw (y/n) standing alone in the backyard, "You good?" I asked as I walked out to join him, "Is that a flying alligator? I-Is it raining blood?!" I asked in shock, "He'll be back, and he'll be angry." (y/n) said, "Okay I know we told you to get out, but we're out of period stories and things that'll traumatize you, so you're gonna stay next to me. If gators are flying I don't want you to be alone." I said as I picked him up.
