Chapter Text
You are the chief of the MBCC. You are a prison warden and from this job it's rough.
For the majority of your friendships is with people who you control with your shackles and who you have to lead in battle against gangsters and people who have went insane from the strange disease of mania.
But, for right now, it's 11:00AM.
The prisoners are being escorted to the cafeteria for waffle Monday. Besides a few small incidents with some complaints that were resolved quickly. It's been a pretty quiet morning.
Then the alarm started blaring. You sigh.
You put down your coffee and head to the warning alert that it coming from the cafeteria.
You see that the guards are keeping a circle around the exits of the cafeteria and see the minor sinner criminals from the other minor syndicate gangs being thrown around by Zoya. You sigh. She probably got into an argument with a gonzoles or red Falcon gang. You look down from the overlook area seeing a few tore bodies of red falcon gangsters and of mania cultist. Zoya with her cold ice eyes staring daggers at a thug from the red falcon gang.
He is flailing desperate to get out like a rat knowing that death is imminent.
"Please, I-I'm sorry just let me go" as he screams and his hands claw at the hand that could crush his neck.
You tell the guards to let you go though to get Zoya to let him go. The other sinners and gangsters notice you but, decide to not attack knowing that half of the sinners would probably tear them to shreds if any harm came to you. Zoya being one of those.
Zoya has said nothing just turned her head slightly realizing you are there still clutching the man's neck.
"Don't you intervene Chief, not today". Zoya spoke calmly but, wrath and malice were her tone and her speaking made other move back including the military armored guards.
"Zoya, he isn't worth your time, besides you already made your point. Please just put him down".
She is quiet for a bit before you here a quick snap.
The man falls limb.
She walks up to you which lead s to multiple of guns pointed at her.
She stretches out her hands and leaves them open for you to cuff her.
She says nothing.
But, you have rules and she broke them.
You don't cuff her. She could break the cuffs with ease you just sigh and signal the men to disengage then you and Zoya make the trip to the confinement cell. Which was basically a time out cell. No one was there longer then 24 hours. But it was effective enough mainly because the criminals didn't want to be that bored again.
The walk was long and quiet. Zoya still having rage and malice seething though her eyes. Her mouth tight and every once and awhile her hands tightened.
"Do you want to tell me what happened back there"?
Zoya was quiet she turned her head to not see your eyes.
She sighed - "They were talking shit about the legion and mocking Horo about Earl".
You grimace at the name.
"I'm sorry".
Zoya said nothing.
"Thank you for your words... I'll try not to tear anyone else".
You chuckle - "I doubt anybody would actually want to mess with you anymore".
She smirks - then her face goes grim. "How is the legion doing"?
The question is not one you like and answer is worse.
You decide to tell the truth knowing Zoya. She prefers bluntness then deceit even it's well meaning.
"The legion is currently the strongest gang in syndicate but, that's not really helping since the FAC has been trying in more ways then one to discreetly remove the legion. They also think your dead and well if that would turn out to be false then the situation would be slightly more aggressive".
"Though the good news is that the 9th division doesn't care about the legion in the sense that their not a concerning threat and that their are more pressing matters and the govenrnment at least behind close doors. Agrees with this."
Zoya clicks her tongue in annoyance.
"Which means I still can't go back. At least not publicly from what I can tell from our recent trips there".
You have been personally taking Zoya and Horo to seem the other legion members from time to time so, that they can gain some peace of mind.
You finally make it to the confinement cell.
Zoya chuckles.
"You are an interesting character Chief, if you weren't so squishy, you would make a perfect sparring partner. I thank you."
All of a sudden she is hugging you.
Your surprised and your mind doesn't really know how to respond.
Before she lets go and walks into the cell with a huge smirk on her face. Then she casually sits on the steel bed watching your expression.
After recovering and saying goodbye to Zoya.
The pain of Zoya hug hits your back as you feel the sharp pain and face palm on the floor.
Hecate takes you to the nurses office.
Where Iron very painfully fixes your back which she kind of does initially since she still annoyed about the Salva incident.
Which honestly fair.
