Penguin's Majesty

41. Going down.

After she had done what she felt she needed to. She then proceeded to clutch Edwards hand and guide him out the door of the club. She called in a couple of favors from a certain red haired clown, that she had met when she was self training.

"Oh hello dollface! What can I do ya for?"

"Hello old friend. I need to call in a favor."

"Long time no see shifter, whatcha need?!"

"I need you and some of your men to pay a certain penguin a visit. Rough him up a bit. Just don't kill him. I want him alive to see his empire fall."

"Sounds like someone's seeking revenge. It's fine, it's fine! Don't worry about it! You can count on me doll! So smile, and don't be so serious!" He began his maniacal giggling and she hung up with a grin on her face.

"Say Edward, how about we celebrate back at the mansion? I have a special bottle of Cristal in my private quarters."

Edward blushed red. "Sorry Lucy But Umm I don't think... not that I wouldn't want to... I just don't... Umm I'm not... uh..."

Lucy giggled. "Not that kind of invitation Eddie!" She playfully nudged his shoulder. "We're just going to drink and talk. Like we were planning to do here, except for some lousy butt-faced pin-a-colada jerk-headed asshole interrupted us."

Her face now however was full of anger. Not to mention turning red at the mention of a certain lousy penguin.

She began the drive back to the mansion. All the while thinking.

She knew she had to get over him and what they might have had. And she knew just how to do it.

How you ask?

By getting drunk off her ass, and distracted by handsome men. But she'd settle with just two of em.

Jimmy boy and Eddie.

And maybe she could seduce one of em. Maybe. Hopefully Jim wouldn't mind? Eh who was she kidding he definitely would. Or wasn't he dating that Thompkins chick?

Maybe after she got drunk off her ass she could somehow manage to sneak out and go to a strip club.  Yeah that sounds about right. She knew this one place where they dressed up as heroes and villains. The place was discreet and seemed timeless. Maybe she could go there after she had brought down Oswald.

Before she knew it they had arrived back at the mansion. They got out of the car, Lusciana shut the garage door, and they made their way in the side door from inside the garage.

"We're back, and were alive!" Shouted Lucy half-heartedly.

"Glad you could make it"  Harvey said.

"You're back!" Ivy said rushing up to her and hugging her.

"Yeah..." She said uncomfortably. "Hey uh ivy? You think you could let go now?"

"Oh yeah.. sorry" she apologized sheepishly.

"So... yeah Edward and I will be busy upstairs, so don't bother us."
