Chapter Twenty-Nine
"Excuse me, I'm supposed to do what?!" Rory looked at Roy with an incredulous look. Did he really just ask her to do that?
"We need you to go in undercover, and seduce your way into this guy's, Alexis, inner circle," he explained again.
Rory dropped her pizza in shock, they really wanted her flirt her way in. "Why the hell are you asking me?"
"Well, the rest of us are busy or don't have your complexion," Jason commented, as he pulled the string of cheese into his mouth.
"My complexion? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Rory waved her hands, the piece of pizza still in her hands. "What do I have that you all don't?"
"Well first off, Kori is orange and Artemis is too tall. It's said he likes smaller women and by default that goes to you." Roy explained as he leaned against Jesse who had his arm around him.
Rory turned her gaze back on Jason. "You knew, this is why you asked me to come and I'm willing to bet the Queen fortune that Tim doesn't know." she glared at Jason who finished one piece only to grab two more and eat them.
"If I had told you before now, you would have mentioned it to him and you would not have come," he admitted. Rory scoffed and threw her slice of pizza at him. Oddly enough, he caught it and waved it at her. "Always so violent, but you fit the perfect description for this guy's taste."
Rory frowned and grabbed a new piece. "Let me guess, small and rich? Need I remind you that I have not left this apartment because of the fact that I don't want Aurora Queen to be seen in Paris, France the city of love, with another guy that is not her boyfriend?"
"That's the best part, he digs blondes," Jesse said with a wink.
Rory looked between the group of people with her and let out a groan. "I swear, one of you will be the death of me," she muttered.
"For the record, dying is not that great. Ten out of ten, do not recommend." Jason said, leaning back against the couch.
Looking to her left, Rory saw that there was an empty can of soda. "Fuck you Todd." she snapped and threw it at his head, again. Jason didn't see this one coming and it bounced off his forehead with a ding as the can clattered to the floor.
He turned to look at her as she flipped him off. "Are you ever going to stop throwing things at my head? First the apple, then the pizza and now this?"
"I don't know princess, are you ever going to stop being an idiot?" she responded with a grin.
"Rory, you threw an apple at his head?" Artemis asked, watching the interaction between the two.
"Yeah she did, you want to know why?" Jason grinned.
Rory got up and dove at Jason. "One more word out of you and I will sew your mouth shut!" Jason moved out of the way quickly, Rory following after him as she jumped on his back knocking him to the floor.
Jason managed to catch her, but not before he fell on his chest with Rory on his back and pinning him to the ground. "Either I'm getting better, or you are getting worse princess." she grinned and got off his back. Jason rolled over and glared.
"Again, you are one of the most violent people I know. How the hell did replacement fall for you again?" he asked, rubbing his neck.
"I've been asking myself that since we started dating." Rory chuckled and helped him up to his feet. Jason rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath that Rory didn't catch. She quickly turned to look at him with a glare.
"What did you say?" she demanded.
Jason shook his head. "Nothing."
Rory rolled her eyes and picked her phone up and threw her plate away. "I'm going to bed, I'll see you guys in the morning." she waved them goodnight and walked down to her room and shut the door. Tim was due to call any minute anyway so she wanted to be alone so she could actually talk to him.
Like she had expected, her phone rang and saw that he was wanting to video chat. Hitting the answer button, she set her phone aside and looked for a pair of pajamas. "Hey Dragon Boy, hows the most depressing city in the world?"
Tim rolled his eyes as he watched her search. "Even more lonely without you here with me to brighten up my day Songbird."
Rory looked over and saw that his hair was a mess, and falling into his eyes. "How is everyone?" she asked, taking off her shirt and throwing on a nightgown that went past her thighs.
Tim watched her change through the phone and tried not to blush. "Oh you know, the usual. Damian is still a terror, Steph and Cass are doing their own thing while Babs and Dick have been hanging out a lot again. I've been stuck here waiting for my girlfriend to come back from France so I can love on her."
Rory noticed that Tim was not in his room, in fact, it looked like he was in her room. "Tim, are you in my room?" she asked raising a brow and grabbing her phone then sitting on the bed.
Tim gave her a shrug. "Maybe, but anyways. How's the mission going, have you gotten any information yet?" The look on Rory's face told him that she did get information, and she didn't like it at all.
"Uh oh, what are they making you do?"
Rory let out a huff. "I was told to seduce my way into the inner circle. Kori and Artemis wouldn't be able to do it, so Jason, Roy, and Jesse are making me do it. I get to wear a wig and everything. It sounds so exciting." it was obvious in her tone that she was not excited at all.
"They want you to seduce your way in? Can you even do that?"
Rory gave him a look. "I just bat my eyes and you are a puddle at my feet, Timmy."
Tim blushed more and ruffled his hair. "You're right. Of course, you can do it, but do you feel comfortable doing it?" he asked.
"See, it's not my comfort I'm worried about. What about you? What do you think about this, because the second you say you are uncomfortable then I will back out and they will have to find someone else to do it." she explained, laying on her bed.
"It's not you that I don't trust Briar Rose, it's everyone else. How am I supposed to keep creepy guys away if I'm not there?" he asked.
"You aren't the only superhero in this relationship, darling. I know how to keep creeps at bay, but I need to know now. Are you okay with me doing this?" she asked again.
Tim pondered the thought. He could trust Rory, and he knew that she would not let something like that happen. "I trust you Songbird, besides I'm the one you get to come home to not any of them."
Rory smiled softly. "Alright." she yawned. "I should probably get to sleep, don't work yourself too hard baby, or I will send Stephanie after you okay?" Rory rubbed her eyes. She was about ready to fall asleep.
Tim watched with a chuckle as she tried to keep herself awake. "Alright Briar Rose, get some sleep okay? I love you and I'll talk to you tomorrow."
Rory let out a tired 'I love you' before she fell asleep with her phone in her hand.
The next day was awful. Kori and Artemis had gone out, leaving Rory and the boys at the apartment, to go find clothes and things for her to wear to the club later that night. She was pacing back and forth while Roy and Jesse were curled up on the couch watching a movie, Jason was reading and Bizzaro was eating stuff out of the fridge.
"Twinkle Toes, you pace any more and there will be a trench dug into the floor. I doubt what they buy you will look that bad." Roy said, running a hand through Jesse's hair.
"That's easy for you to say, you aren't the one who knows what these two are thinking. My big worry is just how much it's going to show. I don't want to give someone a heart attack." she said.
"Oh, you mean like Tim?" Jesse teased.
Rory stopped in place and glared at every one of them. "If any of you so much as take a picture and send it to him, I will chop all of your thumbs off and turn them into a necklace and make the culprit wear it as a necklace of shame." she snapped and kept pacing.
It was another hour before Kori and Artemis returned and held up a dress bag that was on the shorter side of things. "Here, go try it on. I know it will fit because I know your dress size and everything." Kori handed it to her and practically pushed her into the bedroom forcing her to change.
Rory had a few hours to get dressed and ready for the club, so she might as well start now. She hopped in the shower and cleaned herself up before getting out and drying off. Still wrapped in the towel she saw that she had unread messages all from Tim.
Dragon Boy: Hope the mission goes well, call me after?
Dragon Boy: Also, I love you and I know you can do anything you set your mind to
Reading these, Rory blushed a little. Setting her phone down, she opened the dress back and her jaw dropped. Someone had told Kori to get a white dress, but that wasn't the most shocking part. The neckline was a v-cut that dipped so low, it went down to her stomach and almost showed her belly button The sleeves were gone and the dress looked like it would barely cover her ass.
Rory grit her teeth. She was doing this for the better of the mission, and once this was all over she could go back to Gotham and hide in her room for a week from shame.
As she put on the dress, Rory noticed that it covered her ass more than she thought it would, but even then it was still barely covered. Looking in the mirror, Rory had to admit that she looked hot. The dress was perfect for her figure and it accented what she had.
Walking to the bathroom, Rory pulled her hair up and pinned it back so the wig she was wearing would fit on her head well. Carefully she slid it into place and brushed it out enough that it looked natural. Using bobby pins, she pinned it into place.
Almost another half an hour passed and her make up was done. Rory had to apply a small amount of concealer to her stomach and chest to hide the scars and burn marks that lingered there. She was fastening her heels when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in, but any stupid comments and I will throw you out the window."
The door opened and in walked Roy. He was fixing the shirt he was wearing for the mission when he looked up and his jaw dropped. He hadn't seen Rory wear white in a long time, and it still worked well with her. He was frozen in the doorway as he watched her put on jewelry that was bugged with cameras and mics.
"Roy, honey, you stand there much longer and you will catch flies," she said, placing blue contacts in and blinking slowly.
Jason had seen Roy standing in the doorway and wanted to know what the hell was taking him so long. Rory wasn't going into the club alone, in fact, he and Roy were going with her as backup and anything else she needed. Jason had to disguise the white streak in his hair and Roy blended in anywhere he went. Walking over he peeked in the door and saw what Roy was staring at.
"Holy fuck, Rory. If you weren't dating my brother-"
"Finish that sentence and it will be the last one you ever say, Todd. I know I look hot, so let's leave it at that." she stood straight and grabbed her cover before pushing past the door awestruck boys in her doorway.
The two of them shook out of their shock and followed her. "You look great Rory!" Kori squealed, Artemis rolling her eyes with a smile beside her. "When they said to get you white, I didn't understand until I saw you. You need to wear it more often."
"That's what I keep saying," Jesse said, grabbing bags of snacks. He, Kori, and Artemis were to be sat in a van nearby and listen to their feed. Bizzaro was on standby in case something really bad went down.
"So you told her to get white? Jesse, you know how I feel about wearing it," she said crossing her arms.
"When you went to that ballet, you looked like you enjoyed it." he countered and crossed his arms to mock her.
"That was different, that was a date, and I was with my boyfriend. Besides, I didn't get to pick that one either. If it was my choice I would have worn black that night." she snapped.
Rory felt hands on her shoulder and she looked to see both Jason and Roy there at her side. "It doesn't matter, the point is that you look great and no one will recognize you. We need to get going, the club will open soon and the quicker we start the better." Roy said and went out the door with everyone right behind him.
An hour later and Rory was nursing a headache from the loud music that made the walls shake. Leaned up against the bar, she could see one of Alexis' men eyeing her from across the room. She was supposed to seduce her way in, and seduce she will.
Next to her stood Jason with his back to the crowd he had both of his guns on him and Rory had an idea. "Hey Jay, can I borrow one of your guns?" she asked.
He looked down at her with a raised brow. "You want one of my guns?" he asked.
She nodded. "You still have the rubber bullets right?" Rory watched as Jason discreetly pulled one out of his jacket and handed it to her. With the cover of people passing by, Rory tucked it into the holster on her thigh, happy that the dress was long enough to cover it from plain sight.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he asked, watching as she walked away towards the guard that was eyeing her. Rory put on a fake smile and batted her eyes.
"Sir, I think I'm lost. Could you show me where the restroom is?" she asked, her fake English accent disguising her voice as she looked up at him through her batted lashes
The man looked her over and grinned giving her a nod. "Why don't I personally show you miss?" he asked and placed a hand on Rory's wait that was a little too low for her liking but she let it slide.
Jason and Roy watched her from across the room with raised eyebrows. "Damn, is that how she got your brother to date her?" Roy chuckled.
Jason rolled his eyes. "Dude, shut up." he didn't take his gaze away from Rory as the man led her towards the back.
Rory knew that where he was leading her was not the bathroom, instead, it was one of the back rooms that was used for more personal encounters very similar to the one he thought he was gonna get from Rory.
He opened the door and led her in, and took her waist shutting it from behind. "A pretty girl like you must get lost often," he whispered.
Rory let out a fake giggle, letting his hands roam a little as he brushed her hair back and placed a kiss to her bare shoulder. Turning in his hold, Rory slid her hands down his chest in a seductive manner before pushing him against the door. "Good thing I have you to show me around." she grinned, licking her upper lip.
"You're a feisty one, I like that." he grinned, his body shivering at the sight of Rory licking her lip.
"Yeah? Well, I don't." She grabbed the gun from the holster and held it against his stomach. The gun may be full of rubber bullets, but he didn't know that. His body stiffened under hers as she pressed it deeper into his body.
"What the fuck?"
"I'll be asking the questions. Who is Alexis and where can I find him?" she asked sweetly, her fake accent thick with mock lust. The man looked down at her with a confused expression, she was incredibly sexy and terrifying at the same time.
"Who-"
Rory cocked the gun, brushing her blonde hair out of her face. "I said that I'm asking the questions, now answer mine or you'll become riddled with holes and ruin my dress in the process." she snapped. He held his hands up in defeat.
"Alexis is my boss, she always sits in the back corner booth with her arm candy and watches the crowd. it's no doubt that she had noticed you, you are beautiful even if you are not what you seem." he rambled, his french accent thick from the fear in his voice
Rory gave him a sickly sweet smile, her blue eyes shining with mischief. "Thanks for the tip sugar," she said, her fake accent filled with sweetness and hit him on the head with the butt of the gun, knocking him out as he fell to the floor unconscious.
She pressed her coms. "Boys, we have a predicament."
"Yeah, it's terrifying how well you can make men fall at your feet with just a bat of your eyes. Where did you learn to do that?" Jason said.
"You clearly have never heard of Aurora Queen in her teen years." she chuckled. "But that's not the problem, I found out about Alexis. First off, she isn't a guy she is a woman, and she's here."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a lot of fun. There seems to be a recurring theme where Jason thinks someone is something they're not. But Rory though? The picture I attached is the dress she's wearing just a little longer in length for plot purposes. But this is why should couldn't be in Gotham (she would be recognized) or with Tim (he would go in protective boyfriend mode and ruin the mission)
Anyway, hope you all have a good day! Next part is going to be spicy.
Until Next Time,
