Into deception

Deal with the devil

📚
-Nicholas Pov-

When we enter the warehouse no one but us seem to be in here, there is however a whole other side to this building so let me not say too much just yet. A part of me has had this nagging feeling like he's already here, or at least someone is, watching in ways that are too familiar but then again maybe I'm just losing it, still, my skin heats at the thought that it might be her here. The diversion was only set to keep her safe, she's stubborn in ways that only hurt her so if I can make sure for just one second that she'll be safe... it's not even up for debate about the things I'll do to ensure that, even if she hates me.

"Why is he so late" she whines coming to a stand next to me as her eyes scan over the places Ive already searched in.

"Complaining won't change that fact you know" I sigh with another glance around me, no matter where I look I only find empty space, thats good, and yet I'm still disappointed.

"Yeah but he could at least be a tad more professional and not just fuck around as if he's some God-"

"Do I need to remind you once again that you need this a lot more than he does?"

Her head lowers before looking back up at me but I only nod to myself not sparing another second towards her. If I look at her any longer I might just ask her the one questions that's been ringing inside my head for hours now, and I'm far too weak of a man when it comes to her, to Mia, my Mia.

"Your tie isn't straight let me-" she goes to move in front of me and just before I could move away footsteps from someone walking in the building draw our attention away. Himiko ties both hands behind her back where two guns are placed in her waistband, I on the other hand stand still, there's no doubt about the fact he's not alone and she's signing her death wish like a child wanting a toy.

His black suit is definitely bullet proof, so I have no idea what she's planning to do with her guns.

"The Bane himself has asked for an audience with me, I'm honored to say the least" he smiles stopping a good couple of feet away from us.

"You'd be the first to call it an honour, but sure. I will say though, you have been causing a lot of problems for a lot of people"

"But not for you. I know my people Bane, I know who to go for and who to not go for" he points at me winking fast "like you for example are off limits" he smiles wide not a care in the world it seems "so what can I do for you and your- ah" he frowns with a small sigh "I was hoping Mia would be joining us"

My whole body sets ablaze and the only way to kill it is if his head isn't attached to his body anymore.

Himiko chuckles "why would you want her I don't understand"

"I'm quite fond of the two of them if you must know, her especially since the Paris incident"

I'm quite to cut Himiko off before she can ask anything else "why Mia"

He smiles, eyes growing oddly darker as he stares at me like as if it's an obvious answer "I feel like answering that question is an honest blow to your intelligence Bane, so I'll refrain from answering"

I bite the urge to actually chuckle "and so when you got word of this meeting, did you agree in a professional manner or in hopes she'd be here"

"Well I'll tell you this much, the second I heard your name for some odd reason hers was all I could hear" he stands completely still as he smiles, suddenly I don't care who might take me out because at least I'll take him out before. Yet I mirror his smile at the simple audacity "no need to get jealous Bane, the lady isn't even here for us to actually go ahead with any of those thoughts swirling in that head of yours"
