The Enemy [1]

38: Lecture and Cousin

"I'm sorry I didn't call" I said as Lucy curled up beside me.
"You had me worried! Where's Alison?" He asked pacing back and forth.
"S-she's dead" I said staring at Doom. He turned on his heels and stared at me in shock.
"How?" He asked.
"Ice" I mumbled before speaking up, "it was all my fault."
"Nothing is your fault, Jade" Doom said.
"Yes it is! You weren't there!" I said standing up now in anger. He is still taller than me. Why am I always the short one?! Loki is tall so I guess I got my mom' shortness gene! I am even shorter than Emma! And Thea! And Arianna! Thea and Arianna are only one inch taller than me! I'm 5,3! Emma is three inches taller. Thankfully Lucy is only 7 years old.
"I would bet you $200 that it wasn't your fault" he said.
"Then you owe me $200" I said with my arms crossed.
"Jade" Vic said in a warning tone.
"Why are you acting like my dad?" I asked.
"Your father isn't really the nicest guy around, is he?" He asked.
"Maybe when you get to know him..." I trailed off remembering all the bad stuff my dad did in the past. I let out a sigh and stared at Vic, "I'm a real mess, aren't I?"
Vic let out a soft chuckle and shook his head, "your just like your mother" he said smiling widely.
"I guess you could say that" I said smiling sadly.
"Oh hey Doom! Wassup my man!" A voice said making us turn to see Arianna, Thea and Emma.
"Is that who I think it is?! The one and only Huntress!" Doom said as Emma walked over and slapped him on the shoulder.
"You should get out of here. The Fantastic Four and the Avengers are here. They could capture you" Thea said smiling.
"I haven't been doing anything" Doom said making me raise an eyebrow, "okay! I went on a date with that Stacy girl."
"Yes!" I said with excitement.
"Oh shut up" Doom said pushing me playfully before heading to the balcony.
"I better see a wedding ring on her finger soon!" I yelled back at him as he left. I couldn't help but laugh. Emma smiled and shook her head.
"Guess who called" Emma said.
"Three guesses" Thea said sitting down as Winter jumped onto the couch.
"My mom" I said.
"No" Arianna said smiling.
"Stacy!" I said jokingly.
"Nope. One more guess" Emma said.
"I don't know" I said giving up.
"Your cousin" Thea said.
"Ella?" I asked smiling. My cousin Ella Wilson was also an assassin. She is known as the Red Rose. She's 26 years old. Emma is only a few years younger.
"Yeah. She wanted to know if you wanted to go out for coffee" Arianna said.
"Tell her I'd love too" I said smiling at the memories of me and Ella talking.
Emma had just finished curling my long black hair and putting it into a ponytail. Thea decided to do my makeup but didn't use as much. Only mascara and lip stick. I don't know the other names of makeup because I don't care. Arianna took over the outfit. I'm just meeting my cousin. They're acting like it's a date with Steve. After I changed into the outfit that Arianna picked, I grabbed my bag and walked into the elevator.
"Where are you going?" asked a voice beside me. I looked over to see Johnny.
"To go meet my cousin" I said smiling. Then I realized something. I could make Johnny happy by bringing him along, "do you want to come with?"
"Sure" he said. The doors opened and we both exited the elevator and walked out of the building. The busy streets were flooded with people trying to get to work. Johnny took my hand in his but I quickly pulled away realizing what he was trying. He rolled his eyes at the rejection. We entered the coffee shop and I noticed a girl probably in her 20s. She had blonde hair and dark red lips that curved into a smile once she saw me.
"Jade" she said standing up.
"Ella" I said returning her smile.
"Great to see you!" Ella said walking over to hug me. Ella's blue eyes landed on Johnny who was shocked to see my cousin, "Mr Storm, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Same to you..." Johnny trailed off.
"Ella, Ella Wilson" she said shaking his hand. You can see the look in their eyes. They like each other. My plan is working. We sat down and the whole time Johnny and Ella were talking. I sat there sipping my coffee and reading a book as the two of them talked about random things.
"I guess I'll see you tonight" Johnny said taking her hand in his and lightly kissing it.
"It's a date, Mr Storm" Ella said.
"Please call me Johnny" He said before leaving making me roll my eyes. I closed my book and stared at my cousin.
"You are very sneaky" she growled staring at me.
"I am related to you" I said.
"Emma told me you are in a relationship with the one and only Captain America" she said taking a sip of her coffee leaving a red lipstick stain on the cup.
"She tells you everything, doesn't she?" I asked.
"Kind of" she said with a small smirk.
"How is being The Red Rose?" I asked.
"Perfect. And tiring" she mumbled.
"Once again I'm sorry about what happened a few years ago" I said.
"Thank you" she said.
"I should get going. I have dinner with a soldier" I said standing up and walking out of the coffee shop.

Okay you guys are probably gonna ask "what did Jade mean by 'I'm sorry about what happened an few years ago'?" Well to answer that question you'll have to read The Red Rose. I'll be posting the first chapter of the Red Rose in a little bit~ Kenlee Faith❤️❤️❤️
