Helluva Boss Codename Ghost

Trust exercise

"Only if you feel comfortable".

"Well since it was Angel's idea I'll give him the first pick of the litter, What story do you want to hear?".

"I wanna know how you ended up here".

"Oh, that's...a long story".

"Don't know if you've noticed lately Bub but we have nothing but time".

"This may not be a happy story or have a happy ending and even if I did this story would have to be in installments because otherwise we'll be sitting here all week".

"I'd like to hear it if you want to". Says Charlie.
I look at Vaggie she looks at me worried she knows a little about my past. She shrugs.

"Ok as I said the story will be in parts as it's long but I will tell you all of it".
Everyone's attention turns to me.

"Life doesn't care if you have the ending you deserve or think you deserve..."
....
Charlie and Vaggie were due in Heaven today so Charlie passed Angel's friend Cherri some money for us to have a night out on the town.

"You know, we can do this fucking shit every fuckin' night! You don't have to spend all your off hours working on yourself you little bitch". Says Cherri while we're at the bar together.

"The hotel isn't a problem in his life, it's-"

"Valentino".

"Exactly. So why don't you-

"No, Valentino...."

I see Valentino sitting on a large sofa talking with some female demons
"Yeah, I'm here all the time, they know me. You're gorgeous, do you need a job? How many dicks can you suck? Ooh, I could make you a star".

"Let's get the fuck outta here, okay? Come on".

"Ok let's go". I say. "I'll grab everyone at the bar you grab-"

"Where's Niffty?". He asks

"Angel!!" I say. Niffty is running towards Valentino

"Nifty no!" He calls.
"Excuse me. Pardon me. Get out of my way".

Angel reaches her as Nifty reaches Val

"Holy shit, Angel Dust? What are you doing here, baby? You didn't get enough dick today?".

"Funny".

"Who's this chiquita? You bringing me fresh meat?".

Nifty attempts to bite Valentino's finger.
"Oi! puta madre!"

"I just want a taste." Says Nifty.

"Ehh, weird, but there's a kink for that, I'm sure".

Angel stands up "Fuck off, Val".

"Excuse me?".

"I said fuck off! I may have to put up with your bullshit, but you ain't fuckin' with any of my friends"

All the club patrons stop in their tracks and watch the scene unfold.

"You forget who you're talking to? I own you, bitch".

Valentino summons a red smoke chain and grabs Angel with it, pulling him close. He rears his hand back to hit him.

"Let him go Val". I say
Before his hand meets Angels face Val looks up and sees me and I see that even in the darkness of the club and under all these lights the color in his face changes faster than traffic lights.

The crowd realizing I'm here parts to let me through.

"Well well Adrian". He says "Small world the beard is new mijo not too shabby".

"Let..him..go". I repeat.

"Or what little one?".

"Or you and I can finish what you started all those years ago in front of your entourage Velvet's not here to protect you neither is Vox".

He looks from me to Angel his chain disappeared. I help Angel to his feet,
"Come on Angel lets go".

"Yes Angel go with your new friends". He says as we walk away. As Husk and Cherri come to us.
"Say Adrian...what happened to the missus?".

I stop moving.
"Yeah heard that she moved on and your Half breed spawn gave an...explosive performance on her way out the door".

From deep inside me a rage began to build inside me threatening to blow over and take over.
"Take him," I say as I pass Angel to Husk and turn to face Val, who's sitting on the sofa again with a shit eating grin.

"What did you say?".

His smile deepened. He must have thought that I wasn't going to do anything.
"So I gotta ask was your wife as bad of a lay as I thought or was she worse? were you so desperate for pussy that you had to fuck a dog?".
I felt my claws grow out and pierce into my palms I began to feel droplets in between my fingers.

"You don't want to go there, Val". I say through clenched teeth.
"Aww not gonna do anything?, figures. I'm curious was your daughter as big a pussy as her fath-".

I open my hand and throw the small puddle of blood that was collecting in my palm into Vals face smearing his shitty glasses and getting into his eyes blinding him. He yelps in surprise. I tackled him to the ground forcing him onto his back and began to pummel him with my fists. Every single punch connecting with his pretty face, my anger boils over and I mercilessly begin to unleash all the anger I'd been holding inside me since my family had died when I regained my senses I looked down at him his face looked like Mayweather's punching bag.

I grabbed him by the lapels of his cheap ass coat and brought his face to mine.
"YOU KEEP MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER OUT YOUR FUCCCKKIING MOOUUTHHH!". I scream at him.
"Listen good Bug if you ever speak about my wife or daughter again I'll cut out your tongue and nail it to my door, and I'll hold onto your teeth like I'm a swiss banker. You lay another finger on Angel you will regret it I know where your studio is and where you live, there is nowhere you can hide from me and no one that can protect you from me. If you touch Angel like that again I'll show you why I'm called the Ghost".

I reared my head back and headbutted him my forehead connecting with the pulp that was his nose.

I get up and spit on the ground.
"Your my bitch now Val". I turn and walk away the crowd giving me a wide berth.
Everyone's waiting for me outside.

"Let's go home, guys". I say..
