>>i never see female readers x skullgirls characters, so here ya'll go

"Come on, scrub! it's not that hard, you just have to go right there" your friend grinned, stretching the 'right' as her gloved hand lingered across the surface you were on until it locked at the target

"see? just go get those baddies and take their money! it's no big deal, I know you can do it!"

you trailed with an "eh" as you felt trapped in the situation. Peacock wasn't one to take a "no" when it came to something exciting. This event would have an interesting aftermath: either they'd abide you taking their prized possessions, or they'd beat you up like cow meat in a steakhouse

"you're a girl, just put on a pretty face and we can finally get the pizza we wanted! c'mon, friend! you've known me for a hot minute!"

it was indeed true, your cartoony and immature friend was your guide after you had appeared shortly in the city at the darkest and unsafest time. She had found you trying to search for a job, but decided to adopt you like a puppy: allowing you to stay with her and the Lab for almost a year. You had grown into a once proper and respectful individual with no interest in fighting, to a slight prankster to the people you've known with more additional flaws, but was still sketchy towards bad events that likely would lead to your demise in either a physical attack or simply a vague threat. it wasn't good to mess with people in the city, but sometimes, with Peacock, she knew you needed to make an anti-skullgirl, so practice was critical even without you being told this by her...

 she did attempt to get you to go on her side when it came to the skullgirls that you rarely were told about, but, you weren't forced on her behalf

"fine, fine." you still had a skeptical expression, but as you looked towards your small friend that you felt was hopping  and bringing your shoulders up and down from her weight, you gave a sneaky smile

she only became more happy, as you cracked your knuckles before setting your eyes towards the bar where people were most active. there was an obvious bold outcast that appeared to be two men dressed formally. as if even just touching their soldier, they could break your nose with ease, despite you being a child or girl. they'd do it. as you thought this, walking to them slowly, you already began to quiver once you were beside them in a crowd of people drinking and selling suspicious plants?

 you tried to appear uninterested in their existence, as you looked down to see a wallet in one of their pockets. Great, now... you tried to look towards the entrance of where you had gone to see Peacock's approval, but to your detachment, people were blocking the entrance. many, in fact. you quickly decided to finish the objective, looking up to the shady tall men, before walking past one while sneakily slipping out the wallet with success. soon, you went to the other side, doing the same to the other as you quickly went out of their range once you had both wallets filled to the brim with dough. You soon made it over to what you saw now as a slightly clear entrance, holding the two leather homes for money in your hands before seeing Peacock in the distance. she was waving, and you did the same, showing the money. As soon as you made that gesture, the girl boomed with a shocked appearance, now gesturing you to hurry and get out the bar

you looked confused, but didn't linger any longer, beginning to get past people and making your way out, seeing Peacock even more nervous as you made it closer, before-

you felt your body feel lighter, your wrist tight and burning, as you looked up

it was one of the men, holding out their hand as the other gripped your wrist without a smile or even a simple, audible threat. you looked down, and returned your gaze to him, before making a look of defeat, looking towards your free hand and seeing both beautiful prizes, now having to be returned. your hand created a beeline to his hand, as you felt him putting you onto the ground. before he fully grasped the two wallets as you were now on the ground, you slipped from his grasp entirely for the other hand where he almost took back your stolen prize, the two wallets still in your hands as you zoomed off to your friend

Once you both reunited together and seeing the two men in black standing beside each other in disbelief as they stood in front the entrance, you and Peacock ran like there was no tomorrow

"that was crazy! I really thought they were gonna peel ya like a raw potato back there! you're brave, ___! pant, i like that!" you had a smile, but had your heart pounding in slight shame, too. 

Soon, you both had the wallets in a secret place using up to a fraction of a fraction for it for a pizza

"You sure it is okay if we eat here?"

"Please, those mucks would have a deathwish if they'd wanna mess with me and my girlfriend"

you nodded once, wanting to take a bite of your slice before stooping

"...huh?" she sat beside you, closely, wrapping an arm around you with a sharp grin

"yeah! no one's gonna get near ya, ___." before any comment was from you, you could hear a small "pst" from her bird friend, Avery, who gave you a wink under her hat before removing herself from your eyesight

"o-oh. um" you began, looking away with a little, cute chuckle

"as in, a friend that's a girl? usually, I hear that's what people mean, and-"

"Nope!" she stretched her word, looking classy and entitled

you felt your face red, but continued to eat

"bah, I s-swear, you silly peabrain"
