Venomous/OC Fanfic

Snake Charm and Dummies

After the movie, Rakal held a sleeping Fink in her arms. "Poor thing didn't get to see how it ended." Rakal whispered. "We did go pretty late, huh?" Venomous chuckled and looked at the city lights ahead of them. "Come on, we better get going." He stated and head towards the car. Rakal carefully followed and took the passenger seat.

She set Fink on her lap and let Fink rest her head on her shoulder. Venomous looked at the two and shakes his head with a smile. "I'm glad." He whispered. "What was that?" Rakal asked quietly. "Nothing, nothing. You're doing a good job, Miss Rolland." He said and start to drive home.

Rakal could feel herself burning on the inside, hearing him call her something so formal was really weird. "Miss Rolland?" Venomous breaks into her train of thought. "Yes sir?" She asked, causing Fink to stir a bit, but she soothes her. "I want to give you something. Take Fink to bed and meet me in my lab." He whispered and pulled into the driveway.

"Understood, sir..." Rakal nods and got out to put Fink to bed. She was burning so much on the inside, at least Fink seemed to enjoy the heat. She could feel her snuggling up to her. She sighed quietly, calming her nerves a bit, and puts Fink to bed.

She looked over at Fink and thought about how cute she was while asleep. Rakal tiptoed out of the room and quietly close the door, leaving her in the dark hallway upstairs. She takes a deep breath and goes downstairs to see the lab door was open. She went through and entered a gigantic room full of beaker and tubes.

Also, a few huge tanks with a bunch of bubbles floating up and she swore she sees figures in them too. Professor Venomous cleared his throat as he appeared out of no where, making Rakal jump.

"S-sir, you scared me." She stuttered and faced him, making him laugh a bit. "Sorry, you're just too fun to scare." He admitted and went behind her once more. "Now hold still, I've made you something that should suit you." He said with a smirk and puts on a black choker. It was also paired with a black chain necklace with a snake charm.

"The day you can take this off will be the day when you no longer work for me. Go ahead and try to take it off." He said, walking away from her.

Rakal reached back and couldn't find the link. Even the chain necklace seemed to disappear under the choker. She gently put a spark of fire onto the thread and chain. It didn't work. "What if I want to quit?" She asked, a bit annoyed that he put this thing on her.

"Then we'll have an exit interview and I'll take off the necklace. Simple enough." He shrugged and reached over to grab the snake charm. "I know this seems harsh, but you understand that I must take measures to keep us safe." He smiled.

Rakal stared up at him, not sure what to say. Of course he wants to keep him and Fink safe. She's a hero in training, kind of. Not to mention he's really close to her right now and she's starting to become lightheaded.

"Well..." Rakal was finally able to speak, "I KINDA like it. Let's hope you don't give me a reason to quit." Venomous was taken back by her words and she let out a quick, nervous: "Sir..." He let go of the charm and laughed.

"You really are fun to mess with and full of surprises too." He grinned. She couldn't tell if he was going crazy or genuinely happy, but he was definitely livelier compared to when she first talked to him. "Go to bed, Rakal." He said and started to gently push her out of the lab.

The lab closed behind her and she looks at the little snake charm. Her eyes widen, realizing he called her by her first name. She sees that she's turning red, but why? "Oh no..." She whispered and realized she may have feelings for her new boss.

She quickly went up to the guest room and closed the door. "No..." She crawled into bed and hid under the blanket. "Just stop thinking." She told herself, and a few moments later, she was out like a light.

A few weeks have passed and Rakal was finally free for the day. Rakal walked around the mansion, looking for a good place to practice. She settled for a nice dirt patch, about an acre big, in the backyard. She went back to drag an old indestructible dummy out to practice with and propped it up in the center.

She backs up to the very edge and starts to sprint at it, jumping up in the air with her flames, and spins around, becoming a tornado of fire. She glides over to the dummy, but starts to get dizzy, and suddenly has to stop just before she hit her target.

She collects herself and tries again and again and again and again until she collapsed to the ground. "Maybe this is too much for me." She sighed, staring up at her dummy. "Or just too much in general!" She heard the dummy talk and jumped up in shock. "Did you just..." She poked at it, making sure she wasn't imagining things.

"Over here!" Venomous called as he walked over to her. "You weren't watching me, were you?" Rakal asked, feeling pretty embarrassed with herself. "Saw the whole thing." He stated and walked to the dummy.

"You executed it pretty well, but just fall flat at the end. Have you thought about just fighting with your flames ignited? It could probably make you seem more intimidating. Not to mention that big move of yours is easily dodgeable." He lectures.

Rakal never thought about it like that, she had only had to dodge and tire out intruders for a finishing blow. "My normal fighting style use to be all about dodging until I find a perfect time to attack. I kinda thought heroes had to have fancy moves and whatnot." She admitted.

"You can have a fancy dancy move, if you even want one, but a hero doesn't need one. What both heroes and villains both need is the drive to do what this tells them to do." He points at his own chest, where his heart is. Rakal stares at him in awe and tries to focus. "I guess I can sign up for fighting classes." She said to herself.

"There you go." Venomous pats her in the back and starts to head inside. "Now come on in, Fink made some lemonade and I don't think I can drink it alone." He joked and Rakal giggle, following him in, but he wasn't joking. Fink had made the sweetest lemonade ever, but they drink it without protest along with Fink, who thought it was the best thing ever.
