"Hello loves~"
He smiles at the group with his hands tied behind his back. This was clearly the work lady had mentioned from earlier...his smile was unsettling. Even with the boy being restrained she still felt threatened by his presence. Lily laid Nero down on the red leather couch before approaching the boy. He looked around the same age as her but he felt somewhat terrifying just to be in the same room with.
"What's the matter doll face you were like a completely different person the last time I was here"
I couldn't tell weather that was a genuine concern he'd shown on his face or if he was toying with me...
"T-the drive in the dress did you plant it?"
I stuttered but I couldn't help but show my fear a bit.
(...Dante come back soon I'm scared. I don't like this feeling I hate it! When will you come home?)
Her legs are trembling and karma could see it. In all honesty he was genuinely concerned about her how could he not be? He'd played along with Luscius's games...but no matter which version or reality of other Lily's he'd come across he'd always felt a little guilty...she'd been the warmth and light for everyone in their fucked up group. All he could see was the fear of the kind hearted girl who'd done nothing but help them through thick in thin.
(You asshole)
He thought to himself with the image of Luscius and that dam smug look on his face. He hated these "games" he hated playing along but he didn't have much choice in the matter... he was spoussed to help break one of the many "hers" down... to see weather or not she'd become a threat to the universe weather this was even possible or not. The only threats Luscius he's the god who's the worst thing that had been created out of all five of them...at least so far...
"Yes"
(Fuck)
He can't lie to her none of them could. No matter how many times he'd tried he just couldn't do it...he'd told white lies to protect her but only those worked.
"W-why?"
Those trembling legs gave out from beneath her feet. He'd tried to catch her forgetting about his current situation so he just face planted his arms still bound behind his back. The thuds had woken Nero up. Nero jumped off the couch and rushed over to Lily's side. Thankfully she landed on her knees. No unborn kids were harmed.
"Hey shit lily you ok?"
*She didn't speak she just managed a little nod.*
*Lady grabbed karma by his collar of his hoodie and pulled him back up she slapped him across the face for good measure*
"Wtf are you planning you little shit?!"
*Trish came next to him on his left her hand was shooting lightning zaps out of it.*
(Ima die.)
He thinks to himself then again any time in the past he'd been caught meddling in different realities he'd gotten away with reviling bits of information of Luscius's or escaping. The second was unlikely. There's fucking demons in here with him.
"I'm not planning anything I'm just being dragged along let's calm down?"
*The girls backed off a bit*
"You better spill or I'll blow your brains out"
(Fuck)
I was about to start talking about what I'd been doing here since the purge happened and Luscius ditched me but Nero ran up and kicked me in the face.
"Oh dam-ow fuck"
*He falls over again after being kicked in the face*
"Nero stop he can't talk if we're all beating his ass up!"
Trish scolded him for kicking him in the face not entirely sure weather it was strong enough to knock him out. She knew some humans were as fragile as glass and others not so much. She couldn't tell which karma was...
"How the fuck do you just expect me to stand by when Lily's in danger?! This little fucker basically left his buddy's death threat in her fucking house!!"
He's visibly pissed it's just as bad as when Dante had crashed through the glass ceiling in the church of sparda and shot the priest in the face in the middle of mass...back before Nero knew that asshole was evil and brainwashing civilians. But that rage was still on that level. Karma happened to be using his switch blade while they are busy fighting amongst themselves to saw the rope on his arms to free himself.
"Hey dipshit wanna tell us why you left that dam thing here after she saved your sorry ass?"
Karma's face didn't falter it's smug ass grin he did however worry about being kicked to the ground again by the obviously angry demon boy who'd almost knocked him out.
"...I didn't know what was on it didn't bother to check he told me to leave it here and leave"
*He puts his switch blade back into his pocket while their talking hoping he doesn't get caught*
"And why'd he ask you to do that?"
Lady questions stepping closer to him and getting in his face. She thought intimidating him might work if there's three armed and pissed people in the room.
"...ok so here's the skinny mam if a god says do this you'll do it without question because you don't wanna get killed am I right?"
He wasn't lying about that fact anyone with even a smidge of intellect would probably agree with him on the matter.
"If he's your friend why'd he try to kill you?"
(What kind of games he trying to pull no one who's a friend would kill you off like your a fly someone probably paid this asshole to plant shit on them! Bastard!!)
*Lady was trying her very best not to just head shot the son of a bitch right then and there*
"Because we have a lily back home who's got the same trump card over life and death up her sleeve as well."
*They all stared at him in disbelief*
"She's got access to multiple dimensions and worlds what makes you think she wouldn't have more then one version of herself?"
*lily goes somewhat limp like a doll and stares blankly into space as she searched through all the data stored up in her brain*
"That'll take a while for her to verify my point but I'll bet you 20 grand I'm right. Seriously any takers?"
*Being unable to turn down a bet just as badly as Dante lady slams $666 onto the coffee table in front of karma.*
*He smirks*
"Thank you kindly hot stuff~"
"Cut the crap. Why bother us?"
*He sighs*
"...again didn't have much say in the matter, for as long as I've been forced to play along he just wants to see if she'll snap and go rouge...basically he's been toying with different versions of her to see if she could turn out as a threat to the universe or not yeah it's bullshit do I like it fuck no but I can't do shit!"
*he groans in frustration thinking about how many times he's been tasked with helping him "break" her over and over again it was like a living nightmare for him*
Nero shouted "let's kill him!"
*Karma's face went slightly paler thinking that the angry demon boy meant he wanted everyone in there to kill him*
"What me no I don't have a death wish!!"
*Nero makes a somewhat confused face before realizing what he accidentally insinuated to karma*
"No the other guy...wait send that fucker back first then murder"
"....0-0 ok your hot but your stupid where's Dante you need like all of the spardas and da wifefu to actually kill him"
*Nero makes a confused face*
"Grandpas dead"
*Karma's eye twitches*
"No ya dipshit your dad and her husband and you and tank tits"
Nero picked up a chair and intended to throw it at him. Trish and lady had to hold him back to stop em.
