You were standing off of the ledge of a high rise, no more than 30 to 40 stories tall. You glanced down the building to see a solid 72 degree fall before dipping down into a perfect 90-degree angle. You looked down at your watch and tabbed it slightly, trying to make sure you were still on time. Your watch then began to flash red and you smirked under your mask. You heard a light buzzing in your ear as you answered the call.

(Y/N): Sir?

Nine: Is it finished?

(Y/N): Almost. Slice is just taking her time. Infiltration is complete. Escape route is a go. I think she's just having her fun.

Nine: Not too much fun.

(Y/N): Don't you worry about, Nine. I'll keep her on track. Trust me.

Nine: Fine. Do as you see fit.

With that, Nine went quiet. You started tapping your foot on the floor, acting a little impatient.

(Y/N): (To yourself) Come, Sweetie. We gotta go. Come on, Slice!

You looked back down at your watch before peering over to the ledge again. After another glance down, you turned back to the door and sighed. You tapped your foot against the ground some more as you got more and more frustrated. Finally, the door open and Slice swayed her way out onto the roof with you. You looked over to her and crossed your arms and glared slightly.

(Y/N): It's about time. You had me worried sick.

Slice: Sorry. Things got a little dicey with security.

You sighed and walked up to her and hugged her. Slice hugged you back as you broke free from her.

(Y/N): Did you get the case.

Slice: Right here!

She held up the case to your level and smiled at you. You smiled back at her and stepped to her side and picked her up bridal style. She gasped a little but laughed with you as you ran over to the ledge and backflipped off of the roof and slide down the window panels. Once you got to the shift, you leapt off of the roof and backflipped down and towards the opposing building.

On the opposite roof, your teammate, Mummy was standing there. He used his bandages towards you and Slice and used his quirk to pull you both in for a safe landing. However, that much force got you and Slice to roll along the rooftop once you made contact with it. You both came to a safe stop just before the edge. You slowly pushed Slice up to look her in the face.

(Y/N): You ok?

Slice: Yeah. Thanks for the save.

You smiled at her as you both got to your feet and walked over to Mummy.

(Y/N): Where's Chimera and Nine?

Mummy: Bringing the truck around. Let's go.

Mummy pushed past you two as he proceeded to walk onward. You groaned a little until Slice placed a hand on your cheek. You dropped the angered look and smiled at her and took her hand in with yours. You both proceeded to walk with Mummy to the other side of the building, with him scaling the three of you down into an alleyway just as a van pulled up. The backdoors opened and inside was Nine himself along with a mobile computer lab. You three walked in and Slice handed him the briefcase. With that, Chimera drove off down the street, leaving you guys undetected.

Slice: Easy. Told you. All of you in fact.

(Y/N): Alright Sweetcheeks, we get it.

You both laughed slightly as Nine moved up to sit shotgun.

Nine: Stopwatch, next time make sure she is on schedule.

That shut you both up alright. You glared at Nine slightly but closed your eyes and leaned against the wall of the van as you guys drove off. Slice sat down beside you and laid her head down on your shoulder.

(Y/N): Permission to speak?

Nine: Like you need my permission.

(Y/N): That device? What's it good for?

Nine: It will allow us entry into Tartarus. We need to speak with All For One.

You held a shocked expression as you turned and looked at Slice. She had a similar reaction to you as you both looked back up to Nine.

(Y/N): Wouldn't he...you know...kill us for fun?

Nine: No. The last thing he wants to do is kill more villains. Once we get inside, we are there to speak to him, not break him out. Per his orders. It's the only way for our society to grow.

(Y/N): Works for then. I trust you on this one.

You folded your arms behind your head as you rested within the van. After a few more minutes, you guys arrived at a large apartment building. Once you did, you guys quickly got your masks off of your face along with any weapons or support gear and left it all in the van to not raise suspicion. You guys waved to some people who worked as staff as you guys moved to the elevator and up to Nine's apartment.

Nine: Chimera with me. Everyone else, take some time.

Nine and Chimera walked off, same with Mummy, choosing to go back to his own room to work on some tech. Once the others left, you and Slice looked at one another and smiled. Quickly, you cupped her cheek and you both kissed one another. After a few seconds, you both broke the kiss and smiled at one another. You both leaned in again and continued to kiss one another.

(Y/N): I'm serious. You did scare me.

Slice: I scare a lot of people. Part of the charm.

(Y/N): Oh you little monster.

She giggled slightly as you leaned in and kissed her again. After a few seconds, you took her hand and you both walked back to your shared room within the apartment. Once you guys got into the room, you both decided to relax a little as Slice fell onto the bed. You meanwhile, started to get changed in more civilian clothing. She looked up at you and smiled a bit once you placed your favorite vest on your person.

Slice: You look classy like that?

(Y/N): Really? Classy? That's the first thing that pops into your head?

Slice: Yep. Like it?

(Y/N): God you are weird.

Slice: Hey, you married me. This is what you get.

(Y/N): Worth it then.

Slice: Don't suck up now! Or I'll cut you.

(Y/N): Well, you are still a ray of sunshine and happiness.

Slice giggled slightly as you walked back over to her. You sighed and sat down on the bed next to her and pulled out your phone, starting to scroll through some messages from other contacts. By seeing others trying to get you and Slice to full of different jobs such as assassination, thieving, and some more. You felt Slice place his hands on your shoulders and rub them slightly.

Slice: You ok?

(Y/N): Just stressed out. Nine may be paying us and giving us a roof over our heads, but he's keeping us from doing more work.

Slice: Well, what would you have it be, he lets us go and takes over, putting us at the bottom, or we stay with him and we live freely in a world dominated by quirks? Not even having to worry about work at all. Just you, me, a couple of underlings running around and getting what we want all the time. Seeing me go at it in all the ways you enjoy me going at it.

(Y/N): (Chuckles) Ok, ok. You already sold me, stop rubbing it in.

Slice laughed again as she leaned in and kissed you on the cheek.

Slice: You love me.

(Y/N): Damn right I do.

Slice: Then show me.

You laughed and turned back and kissed your wife. Yeah...this was worth it in the end.
