" If my man was fighting some unholy war, I would be behind him. "
Tangerine and Athene got dress quickly, knowing they needed to get back to their missions. They shared one last kiss before stepping out of the bathroom, they walked down an empty carriage, Tangerine wanted to find Lemon. He stopped walking suddenly, Athene bumping into his back, then noticing the blood ont he floor. They both turned around, looking for anyone who was around.
Athene noticed wiring on one of the bathroom doors. Tangerine followed as she walked over to it, he used his force to yank the door open, freezing when he saw Lemon's body laid on the floor.
Even though Athene didn't know what Lemon looked like, she could tell that it was him due to Tangerine's reaction. He kneeled down in front of him, breathing heavily as he pulled off his gold necklace and putting around Lemon's neck. She watched as he grabbed the gun on the floor, emptying the bullet in it and putting his own in, looking at Lemon with a pained look on his face. She kneeled down, putting a hand on his back comfortingly.
Tangerine leaned backwards into Athene's touch, letting himself quietly weep as he put his hand on her knee. He let himself stay there for only a couple seconds until he got up and left the bathroom, Athene following as he took one last look at Lemon before closing the door.
Before she could say anything, his phone rang, he picked up the call as he walked down the carriage, Athene staying at the other side, giving him some space.
"You know, I don't know a thing or two about being a parent. But, you know what I would do, being that it's your son and your money? I'd stop crying about your dead wife, get up off your lazy arse, come here and finish the job yourself. But as we're having a bit of a heart-to-heart, I've got a couple of things to tell ya; your son's a complete bellend and fucking deserves to be bleeding out of his eye sockets. And as for your case, I haven't seen it since Tokyo and I hope someone's fucking found it, put it all on red, and having a fucking wonderful time." She listened to Tangerine speak down the phone.
As he listened to what The White Death was saying, he looked back at Athene who pointed to the door, telling him she was going to go find Ladybug. He nodded and waved his hand, watching her leave to compartment.
Athene found Ladybug in the first-class lounge, sitting as he blew into a paper bag, watching the now two dead bodies.
"Another?" Athene asked, looking at the woman who was slouched opposite The Wolf.
"It's my bad luck." Ladybug said.
Athene watched as Maria instructed Ladybug to take deep breaths and get off the train, making him do some breathing exercise. Soon, the two were walking down the compartments, as they walked through the one she'd just been in with Tangerine, she started to panic about not knowing where he was and if he was okay.
"Oh my god, please help me!" A girl yelled as the two walked into the blue and purple Momomon carriage.
Instantly, Ladybug started attacking Tangerine, but Athene knew better. She knew he wouldn't threaten an innocent person. She also found it odd that the train was almost exempt apart from them, she couldn't have just been an average civilian.
Athene joined the two men's fight, seeing the gun pointed at Tangerine's head, she grabbed the top part and twisted it to pointed at the wall, Ladybug shot it, sending a bullet to go through a window. Determined to kill Tangerine, he kept fighting for control over the gun, that was until Athene punched him in the face as hard as she could, making him stumble back.
"Athene, what the fuck?" He complained, holding his nose.
"She a fucking diesel." Tangerine said, pointing his gun at the girl.
"Alright, everyone calm down. Who the fuck are you?" Athene said, asking the girl.
"I was just supposed to get off at Nagoya, but this man kept me hostage!" She cried. Athene tried sympathising, she really did, but she found something about the girl hard to believe.
"Alright well, you're here now. Go sit over there." Athene waved her hand to the seats on the other side of the carriage before turning around to Tangerine.
"There's something wrong with her, Lemon wouldn't put a diesel sticker on her if he wasn't sure." Tangerine sighed.
"I know, but this situation is already so fucked up, let's not take chances." Athene said, putting her hands on his arms, trying to calm him down. Tangerine nodded, leading her to the compartment next door where they sat for a moment, gathering their thoughts on everything.
"I need to go see Lemon." Tangerine said, standing up, Athene nodded and joined him to the bathroom, but Ladybug and an older man were already there, talking to the other shot man in the bathroom.
Tangerine's heart sank when he saw his brother wasn't moving, he was angry that the other guy survived, but his brother didn't.
"Please don't punch me again." Ladybug said to Athene who laughed.
"Only if I need to." After she said that, a loud yawn came from Lemon who opened his eyes, looking around at every very confused.
"Lemon, you cunt!" Tangerine exclaimed.
"Am I in hell?" Lemon asked, looking around at all the people surrounding him. Athene laughed quietly to herself, beyond happy that he was alive, but nowhere near as close to how happy Tangerine was, "Ah, fuck," He said, ripping his shirt open, "Fuckin' vest, man."
"You told me you weren't wearing it." Tangerine said.
"Oh, you drank the water." Ladybug realised.
"Water?" Tangerine asked.
"Oh my god, you just had to drug someone with sleeping powder." Athene shook her head.
