Integra was at the gym. It'd been a few days since the crazy lady showed up so her temper was finally unwinding. It was inevitable though that a tough looking young man was going to walk in like he owned the place and open his mouth.
She had no patience left for the man's words. ”girls can't fight in cages, too delicate” and some such bullshit. He challenged her, she made him wait for a lawyer and made him sign a waiver that said if he got hurt it was his own fault. And she texted Alucard. Then she put on her mma gloves, wraps and skipped the mouth guard. Hoping he make it before she dropped this guy like a rock.
***
Of course the moment Alucard received the message he was at the gym, while he could have just walked out of one of the large floor to ceiling mirrors this was Integra’s moment and he didn’t want to draw too much attention to himself. So he simply quietly appeared, like he’d always been there. Moving to the cage just as she stepped into the cage. Their gazes locking as he smiled and nodded at her.
*** Integra felt his arrival and flushed with pleasure. Her eyes glittered and she'd removed her contacts, using a little bit of everything to get the man to stand down. She glanced at Alucard with a low shrug, licked her lips slightly then moved in. Integra didn't mind taking a few hits to test him. They didn't hurt. He hit hard but she was used to Alucard, the hits felt much softer.
One long leg reached out, hooked the man's and dropped him to floor. He was just hot air. She jumped over his attempt to sweep her. He couldn't stop taunting her, it was getting on her nerves. *** Alucard always felt a pulse of pleasure from watching Integra fight, she moved smoothly and was so graceful. She was learning to control her vampiric strength and the fluidity with which she moved as a human was even better now.
He was however getting very irritated by the man who was continuing to insult her, his teeth bared a little and he could only imagine how irritated Integra was getting.
*** Integra was growing tired of his incessant prattle, she'd found a balance that left her moving like a faster human, but still looked human enough to fool the crowd that'd gathered. Though her temper was kicking up a few notches.
So she quickly put him back on the ground, breaking his nose in the process despite pulling her hit. Once she was sure he wasn't going to try anything more she stepped out of the cage and stretched, looking for Alucard. She started over to him before she suddenly slipped sideways as the man tried to launch himself at her and clearly missed.
“They never learn, do they?” ***
“Never” Alucard agreed, laying a hand on the man’s forehead with a ‘stay down’ as he delivered a few choice hallucinations into his head. Before turning and embracing Integra, “You however are learning all the time my darling and you are magnificent” he smiled.
*** Integra watched Alucard for a moment before bursting into a throaty laugh. “Do I get to learn that trick?” she said with a slightly wicked grin on her lips before leaning into his embrace. She leaned up to grace him with a kiss.
“Well, I am getting there. It’s easier to admit now a days, most of the staff know something is different, a select few know. I’ve decided fuck it, what point is there in hiding?” she shrugged a shoulder upwards. “This place has enough odd people in it.” ***
“I may be able to teach you a trick or two” he promised her, “If you are especially good” he added once the kiss had ended.
“Indeed it does and we are two amazingly odd people” he laughed before kissing her again.
*** She poked him lazily in the ribs. “Define good, Alucard.” she stated firmly, one brow arched upwards, head tilted a little. “And only a trick or two? How disappointing.” she set her lips in a firm line, mock annoyance.
“I think I much prefer us this way.” she said honestly. ***
“I can’t give you all my tricks, how will I impress you then?” he asked her with a smirk, kissing that annoyance from her lips.
“As do I my darling, as do I” Alucard assured her, spending eternity with Integra sounded perfect to him. He could only imagine the things they would get up to, it was going to be glorious.
*** She accepted the kiss with only a flicker of a smile, before losing and grinning. “Alright I suppose I can handle that.” She would press, that was normal, but she accepted his logic too.
They were likely to get up to a lot of trouble. “Let me clean up and make sure he's taken care of then we can get out of here.” She nudged the guy with a toe. “He's making a mess of my floor and making me hungry.”
****
“Clean up” he agreed, “I’ll take care of this and then we can go and do something about your appetite” he said patting her ass before releasing her from his embrace.
“Time to take out the rubbish” he said to the guy on the floor before lifting him easily and moving towards the door.
*** Integra smiled and headed to grab the spray for blood and the mop, only to have one of the employees snag it from her. She only argued a minute before she went to get changed.
She smiled, things were coming along. It was a good day even if some jerk tried to wreck it. She found Alucard and draped herself against him. “Thank you for taking out the trash.”
***
Alucard was pleased to see the employee take over the clean up from Integra, he had been hoping as much but it wasn’t his place to order the employees around.
“You are welcome, thank you for kicking his ass. It’s always such a pleasure to see you work” he told her, arms sliding along her body as they wrapped around her.
*** Integra wasn’t as strict about it all - she didn’t mind shouldering the work. She liked working and having her nose to the grindstone. But her employees were a good sort and knew when they should knock her out of the way. They also knew it was best to send her off with Alucard. He made most of them a little unnerved.
She snuggled close for a moment. “I tried to be nice but.” a shoulder lifted in a lazy shrug. “Oh yeah? Do you now?” she teased, knowing full well he liked watching her.
***
It wasn’t anything Alucard tried to do, everybody would know it if he was trying, but he was just naturally dangerous and people could sense that. It was something he definitely used to his advantage whenever he could.
“Of course. You are incredibly, incredibly attractive” he said, his voice deep as he pulled her in closer, “Especially when you are beating up a stupid man”
*** People knew a predator when they saw one, even if they didn't really know. Integra seemed to have lacked that fear growing up, she tended to sass Alucard and any of the guards they had.
She still sassed them. She'd always run head first into trouble after all. “I am am I? Good. I certainly try.” She settled against him. “You can flatter me at home, I'm hungry.” ***
Part of Integra’s lack of fear had been what drew him to her, he liked that she wasn’t afraid of him and would tease and rile him. As a child it had been endearing and as an adult it was something a little more grown up.
“Your wish is my command” he said, enveloping them both in darkness and transporting them home. It was by far the easier way to travel.
