My Super Secret Life…Villain-11

Chapter 11

Jeff’s sort of recovering and Holly is shocked and wiping her coffee off the table and her face but she’s got this look there too that is all OMG this might be interesting going on.

“Rikki, my daughter’s right fricking here y’know.”

“So, it’s not like she’s got virgin ears I’d say since she’s not that freaked out and I think she’s old enough to get that two consenting people can and do have oral sex.”

“Rikki!”

I walk over and kiss him smiling. “Besides I said that I wouldn’t be doing that with you if you were an asshole. I think it’s a good thing that she knows that you’re not an asshole.”

Jeff’s blushing like crazy.

“Yeah uhm…It’s ah…just…”

“Oh chill, come on and let’s go get a shower and Holly can unpack and then we can go out?”

“Out?”

“We can go out someplace for breakfast and then we can go shopping.”

“Shopping?”

“Yes shopping if I’m stopping by and Holly’s living here you really need to have stuff in the house for groceries.”

“Groceries.”

“The pantry is bare mon frá¨re.”

He looks at Holly who’s getting up and getting her bags. “I could eat, and dad she’s right you never have anything in the house.”

“I’m never home.”

“You’re also pretty broke half the time dad.”

“I’m not I just run things a little close for the clinic.”

“Uh-huh.”

I grin. “Well then it’s a good thing that he’s dating a financially independent girl then.”

“Rikki…no.”

“Holly can we have a minute?”

“Uhm…sure,. I’ll go unpack.”

She leaves and I kiss him again. “We’re going shopping.”

“Rikki I’m not sure that I’m good with you paying for things.”

“Look one, don’t be an ass you are breaking yourself between the rent here for a place that Holly can come over and stay at, you’re likely paying her mom way too much for the privilege of her stomping a mud hole into your heart and then if that’s not enough you’re spending your own money on the clinic.”

“But the money came from…”

I kiss him. “The money came from a murdering child molesting piece of crap Jeff and I think it’s karmically fucking perfect that I get to use some of the cash he had squirreled away to buy a kid from a snatcher to help a boyfriend and a good guy make ends fucking meet.”

He’s blinking at me and I know he’s trying to choose.

“Jeff, let me do this. You won’t have to worry about stuff for Holly or worry about taking cash from the clinic those are both good things. And your daughter can see that someone thinks her dad is a damned worthwhile guy.”

“You’re being very persuasive.”

“I’ve got one more.”

“Oh…?”

“This will get back to your ex and she will fucking hate that.”

“Okay…okay you convinced me.” He says it laughing but he pulls me into his arms and he hugs me really tight.

That’s…its scary because kissing and sex is one thing but to be hugged tight like you’re important to someone? I’ll admit it’s kind of scary in things could get serious like but at the same time it feels good to get hugged and held like this.

“Alright then we’ll head out and get some breakfast first and then we’ll go get stuff.”

“Uhm…where for both?”

“Local…I always like to drop cash locally because it helps the neighborhood. The big chain places get enough cash from people.”

“Okay…” I like the smile that’s there in his voice.

I slip into the bedroom and start getting changed and use my boots and my army pants because there are girls that use them and I borrow one of Jeff’s t-shirts with his university logo on it and it’s baggy big on me in that I’m wearing his shirt kind of way. I don’t have a bra or my gel forms with me but I don’t care. Well I do care but I’m flat…I’ll just deal with it and make myself look better in other ways.

Mostly my hair…I don’t have any make up either so I’m not going to bother wearing any instead I look through Jeff’s computer and find a sexy tumbly hairstyle that’d look good on my and make up for the other stuff. A little applied Tk manipulation in the bathroom behind a locked door and I think that I actually look pretty good. Combat boots just loosely laced…black fatigue pants and Jeff’s t-shirt which is green with yellow letters saying Avalon University on it and my long dark hair all loose in a sexy model style.

Girl next door meets sexy military chick?

I head out of the bathroom and Jeff’s getting dressed himself and he stops and he looks at me. “Wow…”

“So good enough to go out in?”

“Definitely.”

“Thank you.”

We meet Holly in the living room and she’s dressed in calf length jeans and a red halter top that looks damned good on her and she’s got a nice tan too that set’s off her look. Jeff’s looking at her and I can tell he’s doing the dad thing and I grin. “Hey you look great you ready to go?”

“Sure can we go to Elliot’s for breakfast?”

“Sure I have no idea where or what that is but I’m game….Jeff.”

“You’ll like it Rikki it’s a decent diner.”

“I like diner food.”

We get in the car and the diner is only a few miles away and it took awhile to get a parking space and a table it’s that busy. It’s one of those big diners you see here in this side of town that’s built into a big brick building and takes up like most of the ground floor.

I think this is a popular spot just from the amount of people here and the fact that we have to wait to get a booth.

I’m pretty simple when it comes to my food but I try something different a southie? It’s a plate with two slices of bone in ham and two sausages and there a bowl of what they call grits? On the plate along with fried green tomatoes under a sunny side up egg and a bowl on the side of something called red eye gravy.

I like it all but the grits really surprised me. I was kind of expecting porridge and well it’s not…they were kind of savory like cooked in broth or something and came with a nice pat of butter on top.

I have that and a extra large glass of milk and Holly is having something called corned beef hash and it smells different and looks like a mess but she ordered the small and she’s staring at me as I mow through my breakfast.

“Aren’t you scared of getting fat?”

“I wish, I need some more curve and hopefully the milk might give my boobs the idea to like maybe grow.”

Holly laughs and Jeff’s just rolling his eyes and I can tell he’s trying not to comment on my meta physiology. I smile at him and tease him a little with it and I get up and go and pay for our breakfasts and I know he’s blushing and sort of embarrassed about it.

We get in the car and we head to a place called Guthrie Street and it’s a sort of a mall but not it’s a block that’s a parking lot but all the blocks that surround the parking lot are these small mom and pop stores that banded together in a co-op. I like the idea maybe I can slap together enough funding for something like this in sleepy Hollow and close by.

Jeff’s parking the car and I look at Holly. “Here.” And I give her fifty bucks.

“What!? Holy crap why?”

“We’re going shopping and I’m flush. Besides this can be for you to buy stuff that You want to get for you and maybe even some stuff that you need that you don’t really want your dad knowing about.”

“Are you trying to buy me off?”

“Are you for sale?”

“No!”

“Didn’t think so. Look I’m you dad’s new girlfriend and you’re his daughter lets just leave it at that and the cash is just exactly what I said it was for.”

“But…”

“If I was your dad’s age would it make it easier?”

“Maybe, I don’t know?”

“Does your mom do this for you?”

“No…hell no I want something I have to get a part time job or something.”

“Not even allowance?”

“Nope.”

“Uh-huh and Jeff’s support cheques?”

“Mom says they pay the bills and the house and stuff.”

“Maybe but that’s what’s alimony and stuff is for child support or at least some of it is supposed to actually go you way.”

“Really?”

“Not legally and she’s paying for your clothes and stuff out of it all but really…”

“Okay but you’re not buying me off…this is just you being Dad’s girlfriend.”

“Yeah…we good?”

“Yeah…and Rikki?”

“Yeah?”

“Thanks for actually treating me like I’m me and not dad’s add on in your guy’s relationship.”

“Hey, thanks for not freaking out about me being with your dad given you and I are the same age.”

“Hey, I get it guys like younger girls and younger girls like older guys if they’re like decent and stuff.”

“Jeff’s decent. I kind of lived like a monk or well like a nun for awhile and I kinda came to the conclusion that hot and hung are good but they don’t mean that they’re good guys. If I’m going to have sex with a guy then really I’d like that to be a guy that I like and respect.”

“What about the really sexy smoking ones though?”

“Hey I’m only human right? There a couple of famous types like movie stars and stuff I’m not sure I’d say no to if they weren’t like complete assholes.”

We both say “Yeah…” at the same time and laugh together Jeff’s caught up to us by this point and he automatically turns beet red. Which makes us laugh again.

I won’t really go into the shopping for stuff bit it’s getting groceries and he was really out of stuff and stuff to cook with. Not like baking or anything but like boxed mac & cheese, or rice and packets of noodles and dried pasta and frozen veggies, potatoes and onions. It turns out that Holly can cook and bake so we’re getting the stuff we need.

Buying pre-made stuff’s okay I’m not a health nut but it’s expensive in the end and yeah I’m paying but long-term this is supposed to save Jeff some money and get things more…like he’s got it together more.

I do splurge on some stuff. I get some pre-frozen just bake stuff like some garlic bread, and biscuits and bunch of the in a tube stuff more or less but hey hot biscuits and stuff in the morning is hot biscuits in the morning.

I get him some good coffee and extras of that and while I’m at it I get a good coffee mug for me and one for Holly.

Meat is another thing I spurge on. I like meat and while I don’t eat a lot of it I am getting good cuts while I can afford it. Some ground meats like mostly hamburger but turkey is really good and so is ground lamb too. I get some really think but good steaks and pork chops and a lot of stuff because he’s busy for sandwiches.

I make a deal with the managers of the two butcher shops and the deli we’d gone to and I work out a deal for all the bones and all the scraps they have at a discount. They’re not bound by the whole we might get sued corporate we can’t give things away bullshit.

I make it worth their while and tell them that I’ll take a couple of cases of hotdogs and sausages…the deli guy I ask for all of his tail ends from his cuttings.

Yeah I’m getting things ready.

Holly and I stop at some of the little boutique stores and she’s mostly shopping but the very first thing I did was get a bra and panty set I liked and some gel inserts and change into them and feel image better after that I guess.

We buy little things and I’m getting a girl’s sense of things in a way just by hanging around her and stuff.

I see some things that I want too and buy them she does look at my cash but doesn’t say anything but takes me to a store where I can get a wallet and a purse. I guess I need one but at the same time I’m so not used to carrying one around.

I get a notepad too and I write down the stuff I see that I want for my place that I can buy in my neighborhood.

I do get some time to slip away and use a payphone to call a voicemail box and leave a message with what is supposed to be the number for the Mutant underground and leave a message for Sheppard and Link that rook is looking for a meeting and I give them the number for a disposable cell-phone I had bought while getting make up with Holly.

Stuff sort of is going to take getting used to. I can feel it on my face but I’m also cheating and feeding it a Tk energy seal so none of it will smudge. I’m not going to worry about it after that.

It doesn’t take that long to go through three grand with some clothes, purses, make-up, and a lot of groceries and house cleaning stuff but also a few other things. Like covers for the couches, some new blankets and sheets for both beds and a nice big rug for his living room and some nice pictures that we found pretty cheap for his walls.

“Holly how about you and your dad go get us a pizza while I put things away.”

“Uhm okay.”

I give Jeff some cash. “Rikki…”

“Just go and take your time there’s some stuff I Need to do…”

I stare at him until he clues in. “Uhm sure okay how about we rent some movies too?”

“Sounds good.”

He leaves and I do have to get my Rook stuff fixed and stuff so I start working on that using a sewing kit I bought and a bunch of other things too and get a good start on the new look and my idea but pack it away and put it over top of the money and the spiked mace in a large leather gym bag with a padlock that I hook through the zipper and then I flush the keys. I can Tk pop the lock at will pretty much so it’s safer this way.

That done I flex my powers and I use my Tk to actually do the housework…I can send waves of cleaning products over things and put away groceries and make beds and doo all of these little tasks as long as I can see or feel or focus on them and do it a lot faster than three or even four people could doing the same thing.

I’m nearly done and switch over to putting the last of things in the cupboards by hand when Jeff and Holly come in and they stop and smell and look all around.

“Wow…” Holly is definitely surprised.

“Yeah…wow…” Jeff adds.

I smile. “Hey it’s just someone actually taking the time guys it’s nothing special and it’s the stuff we got today that’s made the difference.”

Jeff comes in and he hugs me around the waist while Holly is looking around for stuff. “Rikki this is really above and beyond y’know.”

“I know but people getting what’s coming to them is what I’m all about Jeff.”

He smirks a bit and shakes his head and kisses me pretty deeply. I enjoy it but yeah pretty serious stuff really.

We get the pizza and we’re watching a movie that Holly had picked out that actually was…well it’s a urban love story kind of thing about a rich kid on the streets who becomes this champion hoverboarder after getting kicked out for not following the greedy parents wishes.

It’s not bad but kind of predictable and we’re just setting up the next video when my disposable phone rings.

I get up and take it out in the hall. “Hello?”

“Rook?” The voice is light and girl toned.

“Link?”

A giggle. “So you figured it out huh?”

“It took awhile but yeah.”

“So you wanted to talk to me?”

“Definitely but I need an intro to the township.”

“Okay but you pass…why?”

“Shopping trip for goods that I can’t get here.”

“Okay…and what’s in it for the underground? Sorry but I gotta ask.”

“If you have wheels and hands I’ve got supplies to bring down.”

“Supplies? For us?”

“Yeah if I’m going to back someone down there I’ll start with the Underground and the Railroad.”

“We can use anything and everything that you can bring us.”

“Okay you can meet me and have a ride?”

“Sure, not a problem.”

“Link…”

“Yes?”

“We like me and you we really need to talk.”

“I know.”

“You know?”

“Rook I’m not just called Link as a play on words…we had a reaction.”

“I know, trust me I know.”

“We’ll talk more about it once we’re together again okay?”

“Yeah that’d be best. Tonight midnight?”

“Sure where?”

I give her an address of an empty lot near my place and hand up and head back inside and go and get my bag. Jeff and Holly are looking at me. “Work?” he asks.

I nod. “I just got the call I have to go and get ready and stuff.”

“I’ll drive you?”

“No I got this.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah.”

I go over and I give Holly a hug. “This was cool I want to hang out with you some more okay?”

“Sure, me too.”

I go over to Jeff and crawl onto his lap straddling him and I give him a long deep sweet kiss over and over. “Later Doc, I’ll see you when I see you okay?”

“Okay…be careful…please.”

“I’m always careful.” He rolls his eyes and I grin and snag a last piece of pizza before heading out and calling a cab.

I got to the shops from the shopping trip and I take out some extra cash and I pay them for the stuff. Actually one of the butchers looks at me and the stuff. “You’re feeding people with this stuff right?”

“Yeah it’s sort of a good karma charity thing.”

“Here then.”

He takes me to one of the walk in freezers and he gives me all these frozen organ meats that he has left over from butchering like livers and gizzards and sweet breads all this stuff a lot of people don’t eat. He throws in several containers of dried herbs and powdered soup mixes too.

“On the house.”

“But you could sell this.”

“Naw only certain customers come in for this stuff I really just need the room more than the stuff. This can be made into a lot of stuff to feed a lot of people…soups are good and you can stretch soup a long ways and the livers mix in some fats and some onion and if they’re not fussy that can go a long way as a spread.”

I nod it’s like a protein rationing thing. “This is really appreciated sir.”

“Marco and I grew up in the shadow colonies out near the SSB I know poor; I’m doing well enough to get by.”

“I’ll be back to buy more stuff for sure.”

“Good.”

I leave and I get the cabby to stop at the other places and it’s full even the back seats by the time that I’m done. I get the stuff and me dropped off at my place and screw it when I’m done here I’m going to start over and move. I need a better spot and I need a drop off place for these things.

Hell I need a ride too.

The list just keeps getting bigger and I pay him and tip him a fifty for him waiting and helping me carry everything in.

Once he’s gone I get into my repaired Rook’s gear and arm myself up…my mace I use my Tk to stick it to my back like a clip and keep the field steady. Okay that works. The cat’s eager to see me and gives me loads of kitty affection and she follows me around as I gather the stuff from my closets.

Bottled water cases, canned soups, military surplus MRE’s, vitamins, medicines, bandages and other light medical supplies. The antibiotics and over the counter stuff all of it that I have in storage I and taking and putting downstairs.

I’m drinking some water and just having gotten finished when I see the damned bus they had before but working now and I see Link and Sheppard as well as a few other mutants I black furred Ikeda with leathers and knives and a girl that looks like a salamander skin wise with the patterns and a sort of oriental look and several in cammo done up like guerrilla fighters one of them in urban cammo has grey skin.

Link comes out and she looks like she did last time. Blonde with the stocking cap and the army jacket and the cammo skirt and black leggings…pointed ears and short and cute…I can’t help but stare at her chest because she’s wearing a leather corset deal that holds and yet pushes her breasts up really nicely.

Dammit I feel her pull already.

It’s got to be a meta ability or something.

“Hey…”

“Hey…the stuff’s in here.”

I lead them to the doors and the front hall and they’re actually thankful and sort of excited.

Sheppard offers his hand. “This is a big help Rook you don’t know how big.”

“Good, because I need introductions and to meet some of the fixers down in the township, this is a bribe.”

“It’s a bribe that I’ll take. I’ll make sure that you get hooked up.”

“Good, I’ve also got a doctor in the pipe.”

“What?”

“I know a doctor who’s willing to come with me to township and help out for free.”

“He’s okay with being blindfolded and stuff?”

“Yeah he’s a good guy.”

“So are you.”

“No…I told you I’m bribing you. Just because I’m good to some people doesn’t make me one of the white hats.”

He nods. “Fine by me…but this is a huge help.”

We get the bus loaded and there’s actually not a lot of room by the time we’re done. I’ll need to re-stock and stuff but I’ll do that once I’m resettled.

Link nudges me. “C’mon we’ll talk in the back of the bus.”

“Good…” I follow her and I’m still feeling this pull to her…I even find myself watching her sway as she heads to the back seats.

I need to know what the heck she did to me and also to find out if she’s using her powers on me now.

I sit and she looks at me…”Kiss me.” She asks…
