Epithet erased "Molly's Villain AU"

well that was unexpected...

"G-Giovanni??"
The villain in question abruptly turns around to look at her.
First there is shock and confusion written all over his face, and then...
Warmth.
Giovanni lays down his notebook where he has written the dishes down, and goes around the counter to give her a hug.
Molly freezes even more, she cannot move at all, except for shaking that is.

"I guess you could say, I just gave you a bear hug! Eh??" He jokes around, letting go of her.
Now seeing, she's crying.
"Wowowow! Beartrap, It's okey! Or what is it? Can I get you anything? Soup?" He asks, carefully putting a calming hand on her shoulder.

Molly nods in agreement, then takes a look outside, where Mera stares at them, her jaw hanging slack.
Oh... right.
"Hey, would you mind letting two other guests in?" Molly asks her pink haired friend, who doesn't seem to have noticed them this far.

Giovanni now takes a look outside, where Mera tries her best to not break the glass which keeps her from getting in.
He instantly stands up and pulls out his Soulcrusher bat.
"Stand aside, faithful minion! I've got them over the moon in seconds."

Molly panics for a moment, and then decides to just yell:"Nononono! They are the guests I was talking about. Please don't hurt them!"
"You think we can trust them?" Giovanni asks in discomfort.

The girl thinks for a moment, "I mean,  they seem like they won't try anything. They're too weak for that right now."
Well.. they did want to rob the museum again, so Molly actually isn't too sure of that fact...
The Soup cook let's his bat sink, though he doesn't quite look convinced yet as he speaks up:"Fine, you can come in! But only because Beartrap decided to be merciful."

Indus comes in first, dragging the loudly complaining Mera, who really doesn't seem to like the idea of eating with the cook being Giovanni, with him.
"Come on, beartrap. We'll get the orders.... and I'd rather not leave you alone with them." He mumbles quietly.
He is scared.
He wouldn't say that out loud, but Molly could tell anyways.

"Alright, Boss!"
And so Giovanni goes to work on the soup making and talks like a waterfall.
"Hah, did you know that car crash crashed his car for the fifth time while you were away? Funny story, he had to get his car patched up by the police!"

Molly sits on the kitchen table, glancing outside the tiny round window in the door, to keep an eye on the two starving birds.
She doesn't really listen to her friend blabbering about stuff.
She's thinking about her dad.
He'll be mad if she went back afterwards...
And to not even get started with her sister...

Then she peaks at what Giovanni is doing, throwing the wooden spoon through the soups like it's his bat.

And what if they actually found out she's here?
With three criminals.
It isn't worse than what happened at the museum, but people could easily find out.

And Giovanni could be captured...
He's not a completely different person just because he took his Cape off and put on a hoodie.
The cops know his face now,
and he owns a restaurant.

Well that could go horribly wrong...

"...How about you? You doing alright, Beartrap?" The pink haired soup cook asks, concern could be heard in his voice.
The girl in question flinches, she didn't think he'd ask anything.
"Huh? Well.. I'm good I guess? Things just aren't that great at home. But it's fine. I'm used to it anyways.."
She responds, now thinking about the museum again.

Giovanni stays quiet, harsh tension in the air.
He didn't expect that kind of answer.
Turning the heat down, he sighs heavily.
"How... did your dad react? Ya know... to the museum thing?"

The girl avoids his eyes purposefully, and answers:"I never told him. He... wouldn't care either way. That's just who he is."
Great. Now he feels bad.
Even worse than when she told him about her family back then.
Crap, he can't just take her to live with him or the other banzai blasters, can he?
He isn't a big brother or anything alike, and would his mother be that accepting of a new child in the house?

And even if she would, they couldn't just take her away from her family. That's just not how it works...

He sets his wooden spoon down and thinks for a moment.

...unless you're a villain of course.
