Best Friends with Benefits

chapter 13: Incest is Relative

Miracle's head turned sharply to Frank from the slap. She brought a hand up and rested it on her now sore cheek. 'Okay, I think he is mad enough vith my sassiness...' She then looked at him. "Something Little and absolutely Precious is saved from you." she spoke up, quietly.

"Something little and absolutely precious...." Frank scratched his chin as he picked that up. 

Miracle watched him ponder this wondering how long it would take for him to get it. She also knew that even if he figured it out he couldn't really kill her as then he'd never be able to find LP, ever.

"Okay... I'll make you a deal... Tell me the secret and I won't injure you..." Frank said in a gentle voice with a creepy grin. "Just tell me what I want to know..."

Miracle looked at Frank. What was with the creepy voice? She gave an almost smug grin. "LP is now safe from you" she said, her voice low and intense.

Frank got angry. "Safe from me? Why would she be away from me? I'm her father! Her mentor, teacher, lover, caretaker!"

Miracle put her hands on her hips. "No father is that mean to his child except a bad von! And she vas scared, no von should be scared of their parent!" she exclaimed, just as angry.

"I am NOT a bad father, I perfected my daughter!" Frank growled. "If I was such a bad father, YOURS must be even worse, he tried to kill me before you or LP were born and then LP brought me back to life! I perfected my child and you are nothing but an incestuous accident bound to happen!"

Miracle looked as if he had just slapped her again. She then set a glare worthy of Magenta AND Riff Raff at him. "Hurting and scaring is not perfecting someone! And so vhat if i'm created from incest at least they vere kind enough to save me from ridicule!" she screamed at him.

"Oh please, if Little Precious wasn't terrified of my parenting, she would be a disobedient, back chatty, sniveling little BRAT!" Frank snarled at her.

Miracle, seeing red, reacted like she had with the bullies. She pulled back her fist and punched Frank in the face. "LP vould've reacted even better vith love and kindness!" she snarled at him.

"I DO give her love and kindness, haven't you ever heard of tough love?" Frank rolled his eyes at her.

Miracle looked at him. "That is not tough love, that is abuse." she said, harshly.

"I am not a giver of child abuse, you little bitch!" Frank snorted. "I ought to report you to my mother, The Old Queen!"

Miracle looked at him. "Hitting, shouting, using excessive force, and using in twisted experiments" she started, "counts as abuse in most books!"

"Experiments?" Frank gaped at her. "I don't experiment on my daughter! I'm not a criminal!" 

Miracle gave him a look that said 'in any society yes you are'. Plus she knew LP wouldn't lie to her. She flipped her hair from her face and glared at him. "Count yourself lucky my feet are stuck." she told him.

Frank darkly chuckled at her, pondering what to do with her.

Miracle glared at his dark grin. "Vhat are you grinning at?" she muttered, crossing her arms, she didn't want to think of what could be going through Frank's mind. 

Frank went over to the bigger part of the Medusa thing and was about to turn Miracle into a full statue. "Say good night."

Miracle looked at him. "Vhat is that machine? Can you explain it before using it?" she asked, wondering if that would lengthen the time she had.

Frank groaned at her question. "Stupid girl..." he grumbled, then walked over. "If you must know, it's a Medusa transducer, it came make the victim into a statue and freeze and I'm able to control their thoughts and actions once I unfreeze them, like in a brainwashing matter. Once the victim is off my influence for a short while I'd say 10 or 15 minutes, they revert back to themselves but find themselves loyal to me."
