Chapter Text
He should have known better. After the fight ended he had taken his fair share of hits. He sat in the lab as he impatiently waited for Flug to locate the first aid kit. He normally didn’t need it, but the larger wounds take a little bit longer to heal than the smaller ones that seem to disappear in seconds.
Black hat looked to the little figure who suddenly showed up at the door just peeking in from around the edge of the door frame. Her nostrils flared slightly and he knew she followed the scent of blood…his blood. The little experiment had a taste for blood, she didn’t exactly need it, but she still seized every opportunity (like a child craving a candy) to the point Flug started banking blood of any heroes they have captive (and even some of his own to keep from running out).
She knew better than to go after Black Hat after finding it was his own blood she caught scent of. Whereas Black Hat knew better, but he motioned for her to come closer. The little one was hesitant but made her way across the lab to where he was seated and just stood there facing him, silent.
“You’re hungry, aren’t you?”
The girl blinked and then looked down like she was in trouble. After some silence, she looked up again and Black Hat saw her pupils had changed to thin slits. She was craving. The self-control she was exhibiting for her age was impressive. Black Hat sighed, and extended his arms to her,
“Come here.”
She stepped close enough for him to pull her up until she was seated on his lap. While he never liked the position, he was stuck in when she was created, Flug assured him it wouldn’t last long and he would just have to bear it for a few months at the most. That didn’t stop him from cringing for the first three weeks every time the thing tried to hug him, which was all the time.
She kicked that habit about a week ago, but it lasted just long enough for Black Hat to get used to the contact. He had no idea where in the lab Flug was keeping the blood supply, which left one option he didn’t like. He looked at the girl to find her staring at one of the wounds that hadn’t stopped bleeding yet.
Unlike a human, Black Hat’s blood was an oily black, something she wasn’t quite familiar with. He decided to bring back the method they used when introducing her to blood that was already taken out of a body, after swiping a finger across the wound he held it in front of her.
“Just one try.”
The girl looked at the blood coating the tip of his finger like she was studying it. Still unsure, her little hands held on to Black Hat’s wrist and took a deep breath before promptly putting his finger in her mouth. Her eyes widened the moment she tasted the blood and when Black Hat pulled his hand back, she was shaking. He grinned when he could see her normally hidden fangs come out. When she looked up at him he chuckled,
“Go on.”
That was all she needed to quickly push herself up and let her fangs sink into his neck. He had to admit the feeling of his blood being pulled out through the two small puncture holes was a strange sensation, but not painful. It gave him a feeling like he had been drugged and could just fall asleep right there.
Black Hat let it continue for a few moments but eventually had to pry the girl off. She whined in protest as her pupils returned to normal and her fangs retracted. A small drop ran from the corner of her mouth to her chin. Black Hat wiped it away taking interest in how eager she became for more after that first taste.
“Enjoyed that, didn’t you?”
“Uh..Sir?”
Both heads turned to see Flug had returned after locating the First Aid kit. The girl decided to make this her cue to leave as she hopped down from her spot on Black Hat’s lap and almost skipped out of the lab.
Flug watched her leave before turning back to his boss. “Did I…interrupt something?”
Black hat just sent him a glare, “One word to anyone and there will be nowhere you can hide, understood?” He had an image to maintain, after all.
Flug flinched back a bit from the glare, “Y-yes, sir.”
