“ that’s because i’m annoyed, davi, “ growls quentin as he moves to take her offer and sit next to the assassin who has been a good friend more often to him than not. often times, they are here together sharing a drink after a job well done has sent them all over the world. a few times they’ve been in competition, but she’s not one he’d kill if he didn’t have to. he hopes she feels the same. “ start me off with my usual and then just keep them coming. i need to drink, “ quentin barks to the bartender behind the bar at old betsy, who heard his order and immediately started to work on his drink. once quentin was comfortable was seated next to davina, he turns towards her and starts to speak. “ my handler got fucking flipped. he set me up with a job to take out some scientist in coast city, and when i showed up to the location, he had a.r.g.u.s. waiting to take me down. lucky for me, i always have back up exfil planned out. but now i’ve gotta gut my handler. “ quentin states calmly as he waits for betsy to bring him a drink before he’s turning towards davina. “ so that was my fucking day. how was yours? “
“Oh goody! Gutting renegade handlers is always fun!” While she recognized how sucky that must have been, she knew Quentin could hold his own. He had his abilities, which were more impressive than hers, and he was already a lethal killing machine without them. Davina didn’t need to dread the day that someone hired her to kill him; although she was known for being loyal to the person with more money, she was also loyal to the few friends she’d made. She couldn’t and wouldn’t kill him even if she was offered the throne of England. While Old Betsy started handing him the drinks as they were finished, she finished hers and signaled for the last one she would have to the day. “Do you need a place to crash? My apartment got blown up yesterday, but I have another one waiting. You can stay with me there for a bit, just kill anyone who tries breaking in.” She hated having to lose her apartment -- it had been the first one she bought with her own money -- but it was better than losing her life. “...except if it’s me. I lost the spare keys, so I got to get copies made.”
