Scarlett POV:

I check my phone, noticing the text saying "It's ready." I smirk at it, looking up at (Y/N) I excuse myself. Coming up with some bs excuse to leave, I take off my office suit and open the window. He makes some cute funny remark that makes me giggle. I fly out of the window heading to the same place as last night.

You will be mine. Properly.

To be honest, I'm still unsure about why I feel this way. He doesn't stand out much, yet he's got all this attention from the others as well. And it's not just friendliness or introductions. But they are very similar to me, lots of people looking up to us it leaves the dating pool more vicious than a toddler dropped in a shark tank.

He's average looking, decent face, funny, kind. By all accounts, it doesn't make sense. Yet my heart aches at every though of him. Especially with, prior experience, I know how it feels to have attention and love ripped from you. Isolated, treated different because of some 'luck' in getting powers.

But then there's the issue of the others possibly seeing him the same way. I'd rather not fight them, but if it means I get him to myself then by all accounts. Try me. Most of them would need assistance to take me on. Except for her. She's possibly going to be a huge issue, but so far she's shown no interest in him.

Yet.

(Y/N) why do you have to be such a lady killer? Do you even know what you do to us, to me? Ugh. This is giving me a headache, luckily I see the building in sight. It's a simple hotel, but I've been able to 'convince' the owner on allowing renovations for the basement. The perfect place, in plain sight yet so painfully hidden.

I land at the doors, and head inside. The attendant is new, he gets shocked at my arrival and I just smile and nod at him. He smiles back and goes back to his work. Good thing it's a man. Easier to work with, no chances of any 'seductions' or 'curiosity' happening leading to his possible escape.

I walk to the elevator and call it, after it arrives I enter it and notice the new unlit button at the bottom. "B-1" it reads, I pull out my key and slot it into the special access port and it lights up. Pressing it, I quickly arrive to my destination.

The doors open and I see it's a suite looking apartment, a nice living room, a kitchen with appliances, and 2 doors. One leading to a bathroom the other the master bedroom. I head to the master noticing the door open, inside is an older looking man in his late 40's checking some stuff down on a check board.

He turns around and notices me smiling, "Ah! Scarlett, it's good to see you. Just finalizing your request and you'll be all set." He informs me and I nod. "Even the portable shocker?" I ask and he nods. "Yes ma'am. Despite being a newer invention we were able to tamper it well. Without the code, it's impossible to break without serious damage done to its user."

I smirk, perfect. "Despite all the money given to us however, may I ask what it's for?" He asks and my smirk drops. Asking too many questions, someone was raised with their mother it seems. I glance at him and he sweat drops. He's not too rich, not even known. Just the 'owner' and that's it. Good.

I smile again to not cause worry, "Oh don't worry about that! It's for a special test of the guild and we wanted it incognito for now, can't let the public know yknow?" I joke jabbing him in the side slightly with my elbow. He nods and puts something down in his checkboard quickly.

My sight let's me see it however, causing my smile to drop again. "Scarlett, kidnap? Investigate." i guess you can't get rich without being smart somehow. yet, you're still very stupid. you should've just retired early. but don't you worry.
