Valduggery One-Shots

Unprofessional

Valkyrie ducked the punch that was aimed at her face and returned it with one of her own; knocking the man unconscious. He collapsed to the floor with a satisfying thud, before Valkyrie turned and hit the man behind her; he was stronger than then the last however and he hit her with a right hook to the jaw, she went down, her head cracked against the floor. The world spun and he was on top of her in seconds; he sat in between her legs reaching for her throat, to strangle her. Valkyrie grunted and lifted her hips, wrapping her legs around his neck and holding him a triangle choke. When he stopped struggling she sprang to her feet the blood rushed to her to her head she staggered slightly, and as she stood up, she picked up his sword, which was still uselessly sitting in his sheathe. She stood, with the sword in front of her, someone charged at her and she swung the sword, taking his head; in the corner of her eye she spotted Skulduggery collapsing against a wall. Grunting, she made her way towards him taking down anyone who got in her way. Suddenly energy​ crackled past her face and she barely missed it. Growling she turned to the woman who was charging up another ball of lightning, it crackled on the tips of her fingers. Before the woman could fire at her, Valkyrie ran forward, dropping the sword, and tackled her. She landed on the woman's stomach and she threw her head forward, her forehead connected with her attackers nose. She howled and Valkyrie landed palm-shot after palm-shot to her face. Then Valkyrie hit her in the the throat and the woman gagged and Valkyrie sprang up and sprinted towards her Skeleton friend, dodging and weaving out of the way of bad guys. She could see him better now, his exquisite​ suit, utterly destroyed; No hat, she pouted, that hat suited him. Suddenly the world tilted and she realised she'd tripped on a tree root. She landed next to him. She sat there for a second,

"Skulduggery?" She asked, having no other way of telling if he was still alive, when he didn't answer, she lifted her hand and she slapped him on the cheek. Quite hart, it stung her hand, she growled, trying to think of another way to wake him. A pair of arms wrapped around her neck and pulled her away. Crying out in surprise, she kicked off the wall, trying to get her attacker to stumble and fall. Their hand slipped over her face cutting off her oxygen supply, she was turned away from Skulduggery and she could feel her consciousness starting to slip away. Then there was a gunshot and she was lying face down in the mud, with a heavy weight lying on top of her. She rolled away, grumbling about the dirt in her eyes. She cleaned herself off and looked up at Skulduggery who was now sitting upright with his gun in his hand.

"You're alive!" she yelled, stumbling to her feet, she ran towards him. And tripped again, this time she fell onto his lap, straddling him and despite his protests she wrapped her arms around him in a hug. Skulduggery wrapped a hesitant arm around her, he rested the other arm on her shoulder and he shot someone behind her.

"You slapped me!" He growled, playfully in ear. She laughed,

"You deserved it," Valkyrie laughed "I thought you were dead, again! You goon!" Skulduggery's head shifted slightly and his gun went off again. Valkyrie span around and saw a woman with bad hair collapse, a few feet away from her. She turned to glare at Skulduggery. "What the hell happened to "The sparrow flies south for winter?" you scared me! I jumped." Skulduggery chuckled a hand falling to rest on her hip.

"Sorry dear, but if I had waisted even a few seconds to say that, then I wouldn't have been able to shoot them, before, your brains were splattered all over me. I'm sure that would have ruined both your day and my suit."
Valkyrie stared at him, the corner of her mouth twitched into a smile.

"I actually hate you and your logic."

"And I hate it when you put "Actually" in random places in your sentence." Skulduggery answered. His gun went off again and Valkyrie cried out, before slapping his chest.

"Will you stop!" She laughed, falling against his chest and laughing into his ribcage.

"Is it my fault people keep trying to kill you?" He muttered glancing down at the girl lying on his chest. He smiled at her, not that she'd know that. She also wouldn't know that when he'd told her then he loved her too, the week before, he didn't mean it as a friend. Not anymore; Like that, Passenger person had said in that song, "You only know you love her, when you let her go." He started humming the song to him self, it was a habit, to hum or sing the first song that came into his head. It was a bad, bad habit. Valkyrie looked up at him, a knowing smirk played on her lips. A twig snapped behind her and she turned to see another murderous woman running at her, yet again Skulduggery's​ gun went off and the woman flopped onto her face. Sighing Valkyrie turned to the Skeleton. Who now had a face? Valkyrie frowned and Skulduggery put a hand behind her neck and pulled her closer. He pressed his lips against hers and Valkyrie froze up taking in what the fuck had just happened. Skulduggery pulled away his head drooping. Valkyrie's heart sank. Then she smiled and reached forward, her fingers touched his facade tattoo and as soon as he was back to his boney self she grinned. She moved her hand away from his collarbones to his jaw and she tiled his head up. Slowly and teasingly she moved her head forward and pressed her lips to his cold teeth. Skulduggery reacted immediately and he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. His gun was still in his hand, just incase. Valkyrie put one hand on his cheek and one behind his neck. There was a cry behind them as someone ran into a wall of solid air. Valkyrie smiled and pulled away, as Skulduggery tilted his head and fired at the confused barbarian. When Valkyrie heard the thud she kissed his jaw and Skulduggery moved his head so she was kissing his teeth.

"Thanks" She murmured. He nodded.

"I feel like we should be helping our friends." Skulduggery said, putting a hand on her chest to stop her from moving in again. Valkyrie nodded,

"We are being highly unprofessional." She laughed, they untangled themselves​ from eachother and joined the fight.
