After a few more pleasantries were exchanged, the Duke left, with the promise to return for another chat before the meeting would take place. While Heisenberg and the girls went outside to look at a new project of his, you returned to the lab, eager to finally see how your and Alcina’s blood would react to each other.
“Just don’t take too long, okay? I am awaiting someone, and I want you to meet her.” He said as you left for the lab. You waved as a sign that you heard him, but your mind was entirely elsewhere. As soon as you reached the lab, you donned your coat and got to work. At first, you took a look at Alcina’s blood on her own, and it was generally just like that of the other Lords, although the Cadou seemed stronger than with the others. You jotted that down in your notebook, and when you prepared to draw a few drops of your own blood, you started to feel nervous. This could be the final proof that she was indeed your fated, and doubts started to creep back into your mind.
What if she wasn’t your fated after all? What would happen then? You vigorously shook your head, deciding it didn’t matter at all. The love you felt for her was real enough, and even if she wasn’t your fated, it wouldn’t change a thing. You would live with a thousand curses to your blood, if it meant that you could stay with her forever.
You gently pricked your pointer finger and let a drop fall on the slide where Alcina’s blood already and you couldn’t help the gasp that left your mouth. As soon as your blood hit the slide, there was an instant reaction. While it was normal that blood intermingled, the effect you were observing was not normal at all. It was almost as if your blood was seeking each other out, and did you really need any more confirmation?
With trembling fingers you shoved the slide under the microscope, holding your breath as you watched what happened. You didn’t entirely understand what happened, but your combined cells had basically merged into something entirely different, almost entirely destroying the Cadou cells. This changed everything. The breath you were holding before left you in a rush and you jumped to your feet, dignity completely forgotten as your ran outside as fast as you could.
“HEIS! Where are you?” you yelled as soon as you teared through the factory’s doors.
“I’m in the back! What has you so excited?” he yelled back and you rounded the corner. In all of your excitement you didn’t notice the stranger talking to Bela and Cassandra, but that stranger definitely noticed you, and the atmosphere immediately changed.
“What is she doing here?!” the stranger hissed and you stopped dead in your tracks. You knew that voice. With a growl you positioned yourself in front of the girls and hissed, “I could ask you the same thing. I knew you were a crazy bitch, but a stalker? That’s low, even for you.”
“Stalker?! I live here you stupid bitch!”
“Seems that an introduction won’t be necessary then.” Heisenberg said, shrugging, “How do you know each other?”
“She is that stupid cunt that would always get in my way during missions!” the stranger hissed and you couldn’t help the cocky grin, nor your next words, “As if it is my fault that you are too slow and stupid to keep up with me.”
“Do you wanna fight?!”
“Easy, easy. So Y/n is the black haired menace you were always whining about?” Heisenberg asked, intrigued. You grinned proudly and said, “Awwwww, I never knew that you cared enough to talk about me.”
“Shut your fucking mouth before I’ll make you!” Oh she was pissed. Still smirking you took in the appearance of your biggest rival. Her usually long blond hair was died red and kept almost as short as yours, her green eyes sparkling with a fury that could burn down villages.
“You are just mad because I am better than you.” You delivered the final blow, and she snapped right in front of you. You shoved the girls to the side gently, and pulled out your hunting knife not a second too late, as you parried her own knife that was going for your throat.
“You know Victoria, that’s your problem. You can’t keep your cool around me, which is flattering, and that’s what usually leads to you making mistakes.” You said, with a sinister grin stretched around your face, while you took a few steps back to get some distance. If it was a fight she wanted, it would be a fight that she got. You were honestly looking forward to sparring with someone again, so you told the girls not to interfere and readied yourself. Heisenberg was watching with endless curiosity in his gaze, leaning on his hammer, in case he needed to interfere.
“Fuck you, you little piece of shit!” Victoria seethed, shrugging of her jacket and going for your throat again. You sidestepped her easily, going for an attack of your own, and gently slicing her cheek, which just made her even madder.
“You really need to work on your control. I have seen you fight in St. Petersburg, you could be so much better if you could keep your emotions in check.” You said, almost sounding bored as you parried another one of her attacks. While your words were technically true, you also said it to rile her up even more. It was just too much fun to watch her loose her shit.
“Keep your comments to your-fucking-self!” Victoria yelled and while your were busy laughing, she actually managed to nick your arm with her knife, which made you laugh even more.
“WHY DO YOU ALWAYS LOOK DOWN ON ME!?” she yelled and exploded right into your face, which actually concerned you for a second. Apparently she saw the millisecond of hesitation that showed on your face, and she used it to her advantage to shove her knife into your shoulder. You hissed in pain and surprise, which made Victoria smirk dangerously. You decided it was high time to end this and teach her a final lesson. Gasping you sank down to your knees, holding your bloodied shoulder. Victoria fell right for your trap, kneeling down in front of you, a look of absolute glee on your face.
She saw your smirk way to late and with all the strength you could muster you punched her stomach, sending her flying. Maybe that was a bit too much, since Victoria hit the ground with a sick sounding crunch, gasping for breath. You rushed over to her, checking for serious injuries, and sighing in relief when you found none. Except for a badly bruised ego. Sitting down next to her, you gently applied pressure to your still bleeding shoulder and said, “I never looked down on you.”
“Ha! As… if. You were always… acting so high and mighty. Always gloating and messing with me.”
“It’s called rivalry, look it up.” You gently huffed and laid down too. Victoria glanced at you incredulously and asked, “Rival?!”
“You were the only one who I ever really saw as an equal. There were so many close calls with retrieving the artifacts for Duke when you were around, although it was fun. It’s a real shame that you get angry at me so easily, since I know what you are capable of.”
“You just rub me the wrong way…” Victoria huffed and shoved you, although there was no real bite behind it.
“Are you quite finished now?” Heisenberg asked and appeared in the line of your vision. You nodded while getting to your feet, offering your hand to Victoria to help her up, which she actually excepted.
“Don’t look at me like that. There will come a day where I will beat the shit out of your sorry ass, and we will see who will laugh then.” She grumbled, although you could sense some grudging acceptance from her.
“Are you okay?” Bela asked, walking over to the two of your and prying your hand away to inspect your wound. You gently nodded at her and Cassandra huffed, “Mother won’t be pleased when she finds out you got hurt. Although that will be a Vic problem, I guess.”
“Why would that be my problem?!” Victoria asked and you had to fight to keep in the smile. Cassandra just pointed at your chest, where the Dimitrescu pendant was sitting beside the one of the Duke. Victoria paled to and unhealthy looking shade of white and stammered, “Oh shit, hell fucking no, nuh-uh. Excuse me while I hide until the end of times.”
Laughing you patted her back and assured her that no harm would come to her. Your wound would probably be healed by the time Alcina picked you up, and you even had a spare shirt lying around in the factory somewhere.
“Anyways, Heisenberg should be way more concerned than you. He didn’t tell her that I am supposed to be at the next meeting of the Lords.” You said, and gave Heisenberg a big smile, seeing him gulp, “Which reminds me, what exactly is your relationship, if I might ask?”
“The same as the one with you and the Duke. He took me in when no one else would, and I kept him company since then. While I am mostly traveling taking the odd job here and there, I usually return once or twice a month to spend some time with him.” Victoria shrugged and blushed a bit. You could sense that it was a struggle for her to have an actual conversation with you, since you had so much bad history.
“Can I ask a question myself?” Victoria asked, and looked at you with badly hidden curiosity. After you nodded she said, “I’ve heard stories about Aunt Alcina and how, she only ever had one true love. So why do you wear her crest?”
“Are you really that dumb? Take a good look at her.” Bela said exasperatedly and you started laughing at the look of absolute shock on Victoria’s face as she yelled, “Oh, that’s why you looked so familiar!”
“Seriously?” Cassandra sighed and massaged the bridge of her nose while you just laughed harder. Heisenberg decided it was his time to chime in, and what he said absolutely horrified you, “Now that that’s out of the way, maybe you could stop your silly crush on Y/n.”
“I DON’T HAVE A CRUSH ON HER!” Victoria said, blushing madly and you just gaped. Was that the reason why she always hated your guts so much?!
“Yeah, right. You constantly talked about her, because you don’t have a crush.” Heisenberg deadpanned and you still couldn’t believe what you had just heard. Victoria started growling and said, “Maybe I had a crush on her at the beginning, I can admit to that, but she is an absolute menace to everything that exists, and those feelings are long gone.”
“Yeah, sure.” Heisenberg laughed and lead you back to the lab. You didn’t know what to say, just watching their exchange, feeling absolutely out of your depth.
“Don’t worry. I know for a fact that her crush for you is long gone.” Cassandra said cryptically and you just shook your head.
“So, what had you all excited when you were storming outside?” Heisenberg asked, as he sat down at your place. Still speechless from everything that had transpired the past hours, you just motioned for him to look under the microscope.
“Whose blood is that?”
“Mine. And Alcina’s, obviously.” You said and Heisenberg just gave you an indescribable look as he answered, “Well, maybe you should take another look.”
You did as he said and you gasped. There were no more traces of the Cadou left in your mingled blood. In fact, there wasn’t even the slightest hint that the blood of two different people was under the microscope, even though you could still see parts of you and Alcina, and it had you reeling.
“You mad son of a bitch did it.” Heisenberg said, falling down into the couch and taking off his hat. You didn’t know what to say, your head was a complete void as you stared as Heisenberg. The silence is the lab was deafening, Victoria, Bela and Cassandra looking between you two, until suddenly, Heisenberg jumped to his feet, pulling you into a bone crushing embrace while sobbing, actually sobbing.
“I didn’t really do anything though.” You said with a small voice, lump forming in your throat.
“Are you fucking kidding me? Without you, we wouldn’t be here.”
“It’s just my blood Karl.” You said, with an obvious tremble in your voice. He pushed you away at arm’s length, hands on your shoulder and said, “Don’t sell yourself short, kid. This is all thanks to you.”
Emotions crashed over you like a tidal wave and you couldn’t help the big smile that was forming, nor the tears that escaped your eyes. You did it. You found the fucking cure to the Cadou and it was you and Alcina. Your fated.
As if your thoughts summoned her, there was a knock at the lab door and Alcina ducked into the room, eyebrow raising at the scene in front of her. When she saw the tears rolling down your cheeks you could see the concern building but you just gave her the biggest smile that you could and motioned for her to look into the microscope. The concern in her eyes only grew, so much so that she didn’t even acknowledged Bela and Cassandra, but she did as she was told.
You waited, holding your breath, looking for any kind of reaction. The seconds felt like hours and anxiety was starting to ripple through your heart. You startled when Alcina pulled back to her full height, back ramrod straight. Gulping audibly when she started to turn, you were surprised by the look of absolute hunger and pride on her face when she looked at you. Sweeping you out of Heisenberg’s arms she threw you over her shoulder, which made you squeak quite embarrassingly and said, “We will talk tomorrow. Have a nice night.”
Heisenberg’s laughter followed you all throughout the hallway to the front door, and you couldn’t help the feeling of utter arousal that cursed through your body at being handled that way. When the doors closed behind you, she put you down to your feet, pressing you against the closed door and kissed you like her life depended on it. And to be fair, you felt the same way, kissing her back with just as much passion and desperation.
“Eugh, get a room, will ya? Nobody wants to see that!” came the cracked voice of Heisenberg from one of the speakers. You giggled into the kiss, especially when Alcina wordlessly swept you up in her arms and speedwalked into the direction of the castle. You were pretty sure that you were in for a very long night, but you weren’t complaining…
