We Meet Again

Twenty-seven

(Writer)

Ivy was strolling into the room that her and Rose shared, however Rose was nowhere to be seen. Ivy wondered what was going on, so she searched the entire suite.

Nothing!

"She could've left a note or something!" Ivy said out loud.

"I didn't need to!" Ivy turned around to face a very angry Rose. The look on her face scared the shit out of Ivy. She looked exactly like her father when he was pissed! Very menacing and murderous.

"What's wrong babe? Why are you so..." Before Ivy could finish her sentence, Rose was on her like a tick on a dog's dick. Rose wrapped her hand around Ivy's neck and gave it a very tight squeeze.

"Are you trying to get us exposed! I know what you did! See I followed you and saw everything! You went through my computer, tracked down that agent's baby momma, went to the FBI building, and killed not only another agent, but Jelick too! Have you lost your mind! Don't you know that the baby momma can identify you! Are you that desperate to impress my father!" Rose demanded, but Ivy couldn't reply.

"...Well... ANSWER ME!!!" Rose had a death glare in her eyes.

Ivy started slapping at her hand, coughing, and gasping for her life's breath, on the verge of passing out from the lack of air.

It was only when Rose saw tears coming out Ivy's eyes that she let her go. Ivy sobbed uncontrollably at Revenger's unrelenting outburst. She grabbed her neck and tried to explain her actions, but couldn't make the words come out due to Rose almost crushing her windpipe.

Rose just casually walked to the pub table, waiting for Ivy's response with no expression. She just sat down, interlaced her fingers, and rocked back and forth in the fancy swivel chair.

After about a solid 6 minutes of Ivy gathering her composure, she finally spoke.

"I.. I was...just... trying to make you happy Ro! I know that some things needed to be done... and I wanted to do them for you! Not Slade, but YOU!" She said through her raspy tone and broken dialect.

However it wasn't from Revenger's attack, but from pure hurt and despair of following directions from her lover earlier.

'If you love me, then kill the informant.' Ivy thought of Rose's command, then immediately gotten mad, inwardly.

She wanted to be ranked in Scathe, on the same level as Revenger and Beast, but she quickly noticed that her actions, although she thought to be clever, was actually very sloppy. Rose made her realize without saying a word. She would never level up if Slade had anything to say about it.

Contrary to everyone's belief, Rose wanted Ivy to be the best at whatever it was she excelled at, because she actually loved this woman!

'Too easy! Why couldn't Rose do this herself? Maybe Slade's right! Maybe I AM better!' She thought about her earlier comment to herself, then quickly found out that she was way out of her league.

"You just kill to kill! How many bodies do you need Ivy? You need to think smart! You can't just go into the FBI's HQ and kill two people in the middle of the day Ivy! Just because you scrambled their cameras doesn't mean that people didn't see you! Do you think that the FBI don't know their colleagues?" She cut Rose off.

"I did it for you Ro. I wanted to do this to make you proud if me." Ivy was now in a full-on pleading position, actually on her hands and knees as if she were praying.

"Are you sure you did it for me, or because you thought it was just... too easy." Rose quoted Ivy's exact words... like she was right there when she made the comment. Ivy turned pale. She forgot that Scathe knows all!
