Debts To Pay
((Y/N)'s POV)
It was nighttime, and Mitzi was getting a bath ready for me while I just relaxed and watched my show on my tablet. She said Wick was supposed to be here tonight, but he never came, which made her a little mad. I could tell that she was trying to hide it, but I recognized it from when my mom and dad got angry because of work. When she was done preparing the bath she came in to take me with her to the bathroom, where it smelled a bit like flowers and mint from a garden.
Mitzi-Come on, Sweetie. Let's get you cleaned and ready for bed
I thought about the other nights I spent in my new life with other people. One night was with psychos Mitzi is enemies with and the other was nicer, but it felt weird being treated like I was a god or something to Nina. When she got us both ready for the bath, I just closed my eyes to not look at her, which made her giggle a little at me.
Mitzi-You're just fine. I'm your new mother, after all, Sweetheart.
(Y/N)-It's just... I just like bathing alone.
Mitzi-I'm sure, but I think you're pretty special. Also, after what just happened with you, I just think I need to keep an extra close eye on you. Can't have some odd bird come and snatch up my defenseless little one, can I? ~
(Y/N)-I-I'm not... completely defenseless.
(Mitzi's POV)
I had to hold in my laughter from that, and getting this bath started was a great way to get my mind off of it. It worked for a while until I heard a phone ring which made (Y/N) jump a little when I snapped out of my thoughts.
Mitzi-*Sigh* I'll be back, (Y/N).
I got out of the water and dried off a little before going into my room with a towel to answer the phone. This better be good because everyone I don't want to be disturbed tonight.
Mitzi-Hello?
Wick-E-Evening Mitzi.
Mitzi-Wiiiick.
Wick-I was just calling because someone said you wanted me over today... I hope everything is alright.
I just wanted to give him 3 bullets in each leg when he said that because he knows exactly what he did wrong. He just wants to play stupid in hopes I don't have Viktor of someone take him down to the creek with cement bunny slippers.
Mitzi-Nope, everything is just wonderful. You brought my son home just like I asked. I just wanted to thank you with a nice cup of tea in my office.
Wick-Really?... You're not mad?
Mitzi's mind-You're damn right, I'm mad!
Mitzi-Mad? Don't be flat tire, Sweetie... In fact, I wanted to thank you in a... special way for doing such a good job. ~
I tried to sound seductive, which could make a lot of men come running to my doorstep, especially if they knew the power I had.
Wick-Well... I could be over in the morning for a cup of coffee.
Mitzi-Lovely. I'll be waiting and we'll be all alone. ~
I hung up and took a deep breath to calm down. He's lucky I am not planning to have him killed, but only learn the hard way. I headed back to the bath to get clean and soak for a while before bed.
(Nina's POV)
The test from God was over, and (Y/N) returned to Heaven, but I prayed for the lord to return the angel for me to care for. I don't know if I did a good job or not because I left him alone when I could have sent the boys out to stay by his side. I promised that I would care for him until the end of my days and then the end of time. I had Freckle pray with me, but only time will tell.
Freckle-Mom... Maybe this is a sign you did a good job.
Nina-I have many reasons to believe, but I still have doubts I need answered. All I ask is for a sign and to allow me the chance again.
Freckle looked a little nervous, but I grabbed my bible to read through it again to see if I did right or wrong. I will keep this a secret from the church for now, but I still wonder if I will ever see (Y/N) again during my lifetime... Perhaps this will be a good time to expand my horizons so I'll plan a little trip to the city Freckle works at soon.
(Timeskip To Morning)
(Wick's POV)
I have to say, I am still nervous about this meetup with Mitzi, but she did sound like she was in a very good mood over the phone last night. Maybe I am worrying about nothing and everything is as right as rain. I should just go in, relax, and enjoy a nice cup of java. When I went inside the little daisy, I saw Ms. M sitting at the counter... with Viktor.
On second thought, this could be very bad. Even if Viktor is just here to have breakfast, his is a hard-boiled egg the size of a tree.
Mitzi-Wick, I saved a seat just for you. One cup of coffee, please.
The waitress went to the back for my cup of coffee. It was too late to leave now, so I just sat next to her and she smiled.
Mitzi-Looked like you were pretty busy, yesterday. Everything, alright?
Wick-Oh, indeed... We are starting a new project and that just has the paperwork piling up.
In truth, I was hiding in my work. If she found out the truth, she would be furious. I'm not sure if my position would keep me safe from her and the others. As beautiful as she is, she is a mob boss.
Mitzi-(Y/N) talks about you a lot, now.
Wick-Oh... Does he now?
Viktor-*Grumbles*.
Mitzi-I just had Viktor make sure upstairs is locked up tight for (Y/N) to sleep in. Ivy and I are trying some new things as well, but let's talk about you.
The waitress came out with my coffee, and Mitzi said only good things about me from (Y/N) while Viktor just has a lumberjack's breakfast. I finally relaxed and enjoyed myself talking with Mitzi. She took my downstairs in the back to the speakeasy were we sat down at the bar.
Wick-Well, I do say I have a way with the public, but I guess I can add unheard-of creatures to the list.
Mitzi-I suppose, but I would check that again.
Wick-Hm?
Mitzi-Oh, it's just now, that it's too late for you to run, Viktor doesn't need to keep an eye on you.
When she said that, my heart sank.
Mitzi-Did you really think, (Y/N) wouldn't tell me about his treatment with those Marigold gangsters, having not one, but multiple scratches, nightmares, and being seen by Freckle's mother... Not only were you the reason my son was taken, but you managed to break every last rule, I set for you.
I stood frozen by the bar and Mitzi was glaring at me while I felt sick to my stomach... Really sick... It was so back, it brought me to my knees.
Wick-M-Mitzi, I-!
Mitzi-Oh, pipe down, Wick. I'm not going to have you killed.
Wick-*Cough* *cough*
Mitzi-But this will make sure you learn the hard way. You helped me thus far, but that won't make you immune... Remeber this.
She got up and walked away while I got sick on the floor which made my insides feel like they were combusting.
Mitzi-And clean that up when you're done! *echo*
I heard the door open and slam shut leaving me all alone.
((Y/N)'s POV)
At last, I was all alone to do what I want... so long as I stayed upstairs, but there was no way that I was going outside. I just played on my tablet, but that started to get boring plus I already had all my episodes of my show memorized. I thought about my old life when I had an entire game console, I could go outside to a park or just to play with friends, sometimes we would go out to eat, and... I think I was even starting to miss school.
(Y/N)'s mind-I'm missing school?!... Wow, I think I just hit rock bottom.
It was only homework, classwork, and other boring things besides recess and lunch. I just hope I was only missing recess and the games I would play. I just walked over to a mirror to look at myself before laying down on the floor.
(Y/N)-*Sigh*... So bored.
Soon, the door opened and for some reason I felt a little excited, but still mostly sad... Looks like, this is all the company I will get anymore. Mitzi came in the room and she saw me just laying on the floor.
Mitzi-Awwww, Sweetie. Why do you look so miserable? Did you miss me? ~
She came over and picked me up. I don't know if I did miss her or not because all of this still kind of scares me or makes me nervous.
(Y/N)-There's... just nothing to do that's fun.
Mitzi-Awwww, my poor baby... I think you just need more toys and company for playtime. How about a Mommy and Son day? ~
(Y/N)-... Mommy?
Mitzi-Mhmmm. I can tell you just lonely and miss being completely cared for. Also, are games more fun with more players? ~
Maybe she was right, but calling her Mommy is too weird, so I am not doing that. When I thought about my mom it made me sad, but maybe Mitzi can help me. Maybe the bunker has more fun things for me or something that can help... I told her about the night Rocky, Freckle, and Ivy found me, and about the bunker I woke up in that was buried now.
Mitzi-Really? ~
(Y/N)-Do you think, they could try to find some of my old stuff if it's not broken. I think there are more things down there, but... I don't wanna go in there.
Mitzi-Awww, don't cry, honey. I understand... How about, I have Ivy watch you tonight, and I will go see what I can find for you with the boys. I have a friend who knows how to dig and still owes me a lot of favors. Just tell me what they look like. ~
I actually felt a little better when she said that.
(Mitzi's POV)
This could be another kind of goldmine for my business and for my baby. It looks like it was already winning over his love.
Mitzi's mind-You may not think it now, but you will be calling me Mommy soon... My Baby Boy. ~
