Celine was going to kill her. Worse. Celine was going to judge her. Victoria had known of the mercenary woman for too many years to not have picked up things from her. To know how to keep calm in dangerous situations. To not be taken off guard when someone shows up unannounced. These were things that Vivi had known and had learned, but after the last few days, it seemed like it was all for naught. She was left frozen in the wedding, unable to use her legs because she was paralyzed with fear. She was incredibly jumpy in the woods, being caught off guard one too many times and her heart racing because she had no idea they were there. Vivi was someone that had learned to operate in the shadows, but somehow she was walking into the light and it was clearing away the important things she should have ingrained in her mind.

But there were more things she needed to know and for that, there was only one person she needed to talk to, fear of being laughed at and judged aside. Celine Dahl was the only woman that Vivi would want to go to for this, to train her to not be defenseless and relying on someone else to help her. She couldn’t always count on James or Oakley to come in and save her ass. No, if Vivi intended to make it through this war, she can’t just stay on the sidelines and just hope she didn’t walk into the middle of a battle. Vivi needed to know how to protect herself and anyone else if that was going to be the case.

Vivi made it to the spot she always met Celine, marked only by the faintest of differences from their surroundings. She wasn’t even sure if the woman was going to show up, much less be alive at this point. All Vivi could do was wait patiently.

@celinedahl // who ya gonna call? i guess it’s this nerdy guy bc ghostbusters forwarded me

It wasn’t so often that he was called upon by the Bratva. Most of the time, Peter was allowed to live his life normally. Visiting his mom on weekends when he could sneak away and leaving small bits of cash tucked away in her coat pockets so that she could think she had a stroke of luck or that she simply misplaced her cash and found it again. However, when he was called upon, he knew that his arrival had to be immediate. Peter would always do his best to get to places, but he often found it hard to get there on time. Something always seemed to happen and he felt as if he was maybe running out of excuses.

This time however, he wasn’t late. He had somehow managed to make it to the meeting place well before he was supposed to be there. Peter silently gave himself a pat on the back and a smirk settled on his features as he pulled out his laptop. It was Celine this time who he was supposed to meet. While she was nice to him, he still was intimidated as fuck by her. He had seen all of the surveillance of her hits being taken out, and he knew exactly what she could do. He just hoped that he wouldn’t one day find himself on the other side of things. His head perked up when Celine got there, smiling widely and waving her over to come sit by him. He pulled up the security feed as she sat down next to him. 

“So I’m just going to go over a few points with you before you take out this hit. These security cams have huge blind spots, plenty of places where action could happen and no one could see it,” he started. “I’ve already hacked into their tech and have a few of their feeds on a loop so we can back track and clean up the recordings later,” he explained. “Do you… Do you have a plan at all? Maybe then I can set the trail of cameras following your entrance?”
