Heavy lies the crown

Ch 24

Up on the auditorium stage Dom kicked over a pile of old, unused desk into the floor causing dust to shoot into the air." You believe the nerve of that bitch?"

He asked his younger friend, very much pissed off from his interaction with Blackfire. Not only did she just threaten his life, she said it as if it was a test for something. And Dom wasn't anyone's guinea pig.

"At least we don't have to worry about Firefly, I got the assassins looking into his whereabouts right now." Billy chimed in trying to calm his friend down before he made and rash moves.

Dom turned to look at him throwing his hands up."Fuck FireFly, we need to be figuring out BlackFires schedule so I can catch her off guard."

Even though during their last run-in he was hit with whatever energy beam she fired. This time he was sure if he shadow stepped close enough to his target he could get a shot off before she could react.

"You don't even have a legitimate reason to go after Blackfire do you?" The younger teen responded with a raised eyebrow knowing his friend didn't have a good motive behind the aggression.

He paused in his tracks finding it difficult to come up with an excuse. Right now he wanted to wack the entitled woman because she was deliberately becoming a pain in his ass.

Other than that, Dom couldn't find a reason to put her in the ground. He'd gain absolutely nothing from doing so."  Y'know what? I'll let her slide a couple more weeks, but shes got one more time to say something dumb like that."

"Whatever. When're you going to try and meet Black Mask again?" Billy asked dismissing the threat knowing he bought a few days at most.

The teen hummed in response and sat on the edge of the stage allowing his legs to dangle as he stared off into space for a second." I don't know, he keeps moving around."

It had to be re-up day or something because throughout the morning the villain in question hadn't stayed anywhere for more than 20 minutes. Though on the bright side it meant there might be leftover product to move, which is where his gang could be of help.

Soon the bell rung signaling the end of lunch and the start of the second half of the day causing both teens to groan. Saying their goodbyes they separated and made their way to the next period classes finishing out the school day.

After the final bell rung signaling the day was officially over the two met at the Rolls Royce parked in the student parking lot. Black Mask had finally gotten still somewhere so they were brainstorming on how to approach him.

"Alright, gather the Chinatown bosses. Tell them Darumas finally got weight and a deal as an apology for the wait." Dom ordered putting the vehicle in gear and making his way to the district.

"What if he doesn't give you any today?" Billy asked putting the thought that they might all be called for nothing.

The teen shook his head in return choosing not to think about it. He'd have to somehow convince Black Mask that, the Daruma family could efficiently and successfully supply Chinatown and maybe even more districts without getting caught by GCPD or Batman.

Last time he'd let the twins handle all operations and dealings when it came to the management of the drug game. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a mistake when the dumbasses got too complacent and reckless and got raided by GCPD.
