Hiccup took in a deep breath as he knocked on the heavy iron doors to Astrid's laboratory. Astrid told him to come dressed in his armor and mask since she had found some employment opportunities.

The latch in the door opened and one of Astrid's henchmen asked in a gruff voice "Who is it?"

"Eh....... Night Fury." Hiccup stated. "I'm expected....... I think."

"Aye ya are." The man said before he closed the latch and opened the door.

Hiccup stepped through the door and looked at the man who was nervous. "Eh... Sorry for throwing you into that vent a couple of months back." Hiccup said as he suddenly remembered the man.

"Eh..... yeah, don't worry about it. I got paid sick leave thanks to that. It is in every henchman contract. Spend my time recovering in Aruba."

Hiccup's eyebrows shot up. "Well that explains why so many of you rush to attack the heroes."

The henchman laughed and Hiccup began walking to the lab. "Astrid?" Hiccup called as he stepped into the room.

"Just a minute!!" Was shouted from the second floor as a crash was heard followed by a small explosion. "I'm alright!!" Astrid yelled as she finally came down the stairs.

"Where you working on another experiment?" Hiccup asked as Astrid took off her charred labcoat.

"No. I was trying to make cotton candy. I figured I might as well give it a try." Astrid said which caused Hiccup to gape at her.

"How did you even make cotton candy explode?" Hiccup asked as he smelled the burnt sugar.

"Who knows." Astrid shrugged. "So shall we go?" Astrid then asked as she picked up a newspaper from the table. "I think there might be something in here that could interest you."

Hiccup peaked at the paper and saw 'The Villainous Times' in bold letters. "You have your own newspaper?"

"Of course. How else could we keep up with all the juicy villainous gossip stories."

Hiccup didn't have an answer for that so he just asked "So what did you find?"

Astrid opened the paper to the classifieds and read one that she had circled. "Wanted: Assistant, allrounder, has to be flexible, reasonable work hours, benefits included."

"Let's go. The address isn't too far from here." Astrid stated as they made their way out of the laboratory.

"Okay" Hiccup agreed.

In no time were they in front of a white marble mansion with neatly trimmed bushes. Hiccup parked the car and looked at the building. "This is a villain's lair??"

"Looks like it." Astrid said as she got out of the car. They approached the front door and Hiccup rang the doorbell.

"Yes, how may I help you sir and madam?" A butler asked as he opened the door.

"We're here about the job advertisement." Hiccup said.

"Of course sir. Right this way then." The butler said as he guided them inside and to a hidden elevator. The elevator went down and when the doors opened they could see a room luxuriously decorated with red silk curtains and lots of pillows.

"It's like I stepped into Arabian Nights." Astrid whispered to Hiccup who nodded.

"Who is there?" Was asked as the curtains parted to reveal a woman lying provocatively on a black settee. Her long black hair draped around her neck while her scarlet red dress was a stark contrast against the black settee.

"Seductress?! This is your lair?" Hiccup asked as his eyes widened.

"Night Fury?! Well this is a surprise. What brings you here?" The woman asked as she sat up and crossed one leg over the other. The slit of her red dress revealing her thigh. She then noticed Astrid next to him. "Astrid, pleasure to see you again."

"Pleasure to see you too Heather." Astrid said using the woman's real name.

"Oh come now. You aren't still bitter about me seducing some of your henchmen are you?"

"You could have at least waited until they finished helping me move in." Astrid grumbled.

"Well since we're all going by our actual names you might as well tell me yours." Heather stated.

"It's Hiccup."

"Cute name." Heather commented.

"So you're looking for an assistant?" Hiccup cautiously asked as he noticed Astrid's glare.

"So you're here for the job?" Heather now asked. "Aren't you on the hero team?"

"I'm...eh... in the middle of reevaluating my options." Hiccup said. "What exactly would this job entail?"

"It's like a personal assistant. Help around in the lair, train the minions, paperwork, masseuse, etc." Heather stated as she looked him up and down before giving him a lustful stare.

"Masseuse?!" Hiccup sputtered.

"I did say flexibility is a must." Heather said as she walked closer to Hiccup who gulped. "I at least don't need to interview you. I already know how flexible you are." She grinned as she winked at him. "I'm sure you will enjoy the benefits." She then purred in Hiccup's ear which made him go scarlet.

"Ehh....eh..." Hiccup sputtered as he took a step back from Heather. "I think I will have to decline." He finally managed to utter as he tried to get his flaming cheeks under control.

"That's a shame." Heather pouted as she trailed a finger down his arm. "Well feel free to drop by anytime you change your mind."

"Hiccup" Astrid muttered as she glared at Heather. "Could you step outside for a while. I need to have some words in private."

Hiccup saw the glare and audibly gulped. "S...Sure Astrid."

Hiccup made his way to the elevator and pressed the up button. Astrid's glare at Heather intensified as soon as the elevator doors closed.

"Must you always try to seduce men?" Astrid asked as she crossed her arms.

"My villain identity is Seductress." Heather stated as she sat back down. "Why do you even care. It's not like you like him." Heather noticed Astrid's cheeks turn pink at that statement. "Oh my Thor you do!!" She said gleefully.

"So what if I do?"

"Very well then. I won't hit on Hiccup." Heather said.

"Just like that?" Astrid asked curiously.

"I might be a seductress but I wouldn't do that to a friend." Heather stated.

"Thanks." Astrid said.

"So have you two kissed yet?" Heather asked as she sent Astrid a wink.

"OH MY GOSH HEATHER!!!" Astrid shouted while turning as scarlet as Heather's dress.
