Ecco's Love

Chapter One

Alexa's P.O.V

     "What's this? What's Victor Zsasz doing here?" I ask walking into my small apartment. 

     "My current employer has a need of an assassin besides me." I put my hand on my hip.

     "And you thought of me. I'm flattered Vic." I say mockingly.

     "You're the best assassin next to me. Come on I'll take you to meet him." A half hour later we're at Gotham harbor. "Hey boss, this is the Assassin I was telling you about." He looks me over.

     "You didn't tell me she was a girl."

     "She was trained by Ra's Al Ghul, and she is one of the best assassins you'll ever meet." I inform him. "Alexa Sink."

     "Oswald Cobblepot call me Penguin."

     "Vic says you need an assassin. What's the job?"

     "I like your enthusiasm, Mrs. Sink. How about we discuss it over drinks?" I roll my eyes at him and cross my arms.

     "I'd rather just get the job now."

     "Alright, I like you." He says and I sigh.

     "Who's the target?"

     "Jeremiah Valeska, and this won't be an easy job." I tilt my head at him in confusion. He hands me a picture of a blonde. "Meet Ecco, his Loyal lap dog and bodyguard, Do not underestimate her. You'll get half now half when the job is done." She's kinda hot too bad, she's the enemy.

     "I wouldn't be worried, Mr. Penguin, she should be worried about me." He chuckles.

     "Everyone thinks that at first Mrs. Sink. I wish you good luck." 

     "Thank you, Mr. Penguin. When do you want the job done by?"

     "As soon as possible." The next day I go hunting for anyone who might know where Jeremiah Valeska is. 

     "Hiya boys."

     "What's a little lady like you doing in this part of town?" I roll my eyes and walk closer to them.

     "I'm looking for Jeremiah Valeska. Do any of you know where I could find him?" I say batting my eyelashes at them.

     "You don't wanna go looking for him, trust us, he's trouble." 

     "Please it would mean the world to me if you would tell me where he is." I say twirling my hair flirtatiously.

     "Trust us little lady, he's trouble." I sigh and pull out my knife well they ready their weapons. 

     "I was hoping to do this the easy way. But since you boys don't want to corporate, we get to do this the fun way."

     "You realize there's three of us and one of you?" I look around at them and laugh.

     "No, there's two of us." I smirk as Vic comes in on cue pointing guns at two of them well, I point mine at the third. "Here's what's going to happen. You boys are going to tell me where I can find Valeska, or we shoot you, and we won't shoot to kill at first."

     "Go to hell, crazy bitch." I pretend pout and Vic shoots him in the leg.

     "No one insults my best friend."

     "Aww thanks Vic." I smile before turning my attention back to the men. "Now I'll ask again, Where's Valeska?"

     "We already told you got to hell bitch." I sigh and put a knife to the guy's throat.

     "Look, I'm trying to be civil-" I say fake hurt before making my voice more menacing. -"but if you don't start talking I will slit your throats without hesitation."

     "I'd give her what she wants unless you all want to die." 

     "Go to hell." I slit his throat and move on.

     "Let's do this a better way. Who here wants to tell me where Jeremiah Valeska is?" I ask losing all of my patience. 

     "We'll never talk, we're loyal to Jeremiah."

     "Fine, Vic, blow them to hell." 

     "Sure thing Lexa." We walk out, and he throws a grenade in the little warehouse. "So what now?"

     "Find someone else that knows where he is and if they don't cooperate kill them eventually someone will talk." 

     "This is why you're the best."
