“I have something for you. Get in the car, fucko.”

Danny knew the thick Italian accent from a mile away. It was Jimmy, the man who gave Danny a chance in the city of Chicago. And Danny would be a fool if he said no. Danny slipped into the back seat of the black Lincoln and rubbed his hands together. It was early December, the air in Chicago was incredibly bitter this year. Jimmy had a thick head of gray hair. He laughed when children fell down, he was the kind of guy who rooted for the bad guys in the movies. “Hey Jimmy.”

Jimmy tossed him a cigarette, they both rode in silence, puffing on their cigarettes. “I said I got something for you, fucker.”

Danny smiled, watching the ember on the tip of his cigarette light up. “What is it?”

“Don’t ask questions, kid.” Jimmy never had to lift a finger. He could go anywhere in the fucking city and didn’t have to worry about a damn thing. Jimmy slid a paper bag over to Danny. Neither man said anything, but Danny felt his stomach tighten. “You’re a man of many talents.” Probably the highest compliment Danny ever got from Jimmy. “Open it.”

Danny hesitated, feeling his pulse start to quicken. He ripped the paper, and inside was a Smith and Wesson revolver with a white, slick handle. “What do I do with this?” he asked, even though he knew was Jimmy was about to say.

“You’re going to shoot Robbie.”

Robbie. He was just a kid, younger than Danny. He looked up to Danny with bright blue eyes. “You see kid, once you’re part of the crew, nobody ever tells you that they’re going to kill you, doesn’t happen that way. There weren’t any arguments or curses like in the movies. See, your murderers come with smiles, they come as your friends, the people who’ve cared for you all of your life. And they always seem to come at a time that you’re at your weakest and most in need of their help.” Jimmy lit up another cigarette as the car slowed down. “This is my gift to you, Danny, a pair of balls.”

“That wasn’t the deal, Jimmy, I was only supposed to use my shadow to help you guys, not kill anyone. Not Robbie.”

“It’s either him,” Jimmy reached into his breast pocket, pulling out his own pistol, “or you.”

firestartermorgan:

“I…” He sniffed, wiped his face, shook this off. “I don’t know?” Morgan’s brows knit together and he found himself taking a load off wherever the nearest chair ended up standing. “I just wound up here…”

No one with mob connections just ‘ended up’ somewhere. They were put there, for a reason, and Danny knew it wasn’t a coincidence that Morgan and Kennedy showed up at the same time. This witness protection thing wasn’t worth the hassle. Danny sighed, “So what are you doing here? Job wise, I mean.”

kennedylucchese:

“Maybe I baked it just because.” Setting the cake down in front of him, she lent over and grabbed his flask when he was done drinking it and took and took a swig of her own. “Rum, what happened to the whiskey?” She asked curiously before handing it back to him. Her own green eyes scanned in trying to take in whatever she could of him, seeing what else changed about him. “Thought we could pre-celebrate it.”

Damn it, she just didn’t get it. She didn’t see it. How he had changed, his flask was his crutch, his abilities were sporadic, he wasn’t the... same. And it killed him, because he wanted to be who she needed, but he just couldn’t. He never could be. “I needed a change,” he said, and rum didn’t burn as much. “I don’t celebrate my birthday anymore,” he said after taking a deep breath and looked at the table. “Just another day.”

hollyxhorn:

“I’ve got all kind of good stuff. You can come take a look and pick one out.” Holly said happily. “I’m sure your sister would love some flowers from you.” 

“Well,” Danny said, scratching the back of his neck, “I don’t know much about flowers. Maybe you could give me a recommendation? Her name is Rosette, so maybe roses? But I feel like that’s corny.”

firestartermorgan:

“Ouh–oh gaud. What did you put in that? Ugh!”

Danny took his own sip. Since leaving Chicago, alcohol was the one consistent thing in his life. “I make them strong these days,” he replied, sitting across the table in his tiny apartment. “Are you here looking for me or for something else entirely?” Perhaps this whole witness protection thing wasn’t as good as the officials had promised him. ‘We will have you so well hidden.’ ‘ They’ll never find you.’ Danny chuckled to himself at the lies. He should have known.

kennedylucchese:

“I slaved over a hot stove to bake this beautiful cake and you are just now telling me you aren’t going to eat it!?” The fae shrieked being her over dramatic self. Honestly it took her maybe an hour, two at the most to make this but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t going to make a big deal out of this. 

Danny sat in the bright, clean kitchen. The flowers he brought her were sitting on the table in front of him, but he shifted in his chair uncomfortably. “My birthday isn’t until next month, you know this.” Truth be told, he didn’t have much of an appetite since the fae showed back up in his life. He brought out his flask and took a gulp of the rum, letting it calm his nerves. Or try too. His eyes were stuck, scanning her face for any type of emotion. Kennedy played it cool, her normal self. Even though she still seemed to dodge his question: What are you doing here? 

#uhh.... #is this okay?

hollyxhorn:

“Yes, to a good home is the catch and you have to keep them alive.” Holly said with a wide smile as she explained her deal. “I could use the room in my greenhouse, so they are really doing me the favor.” 

Danny thought about it. Rosie had mentioned wanting a pet before, but maybe plant would be up her ally right now. “What do you have? I have a sister I might want to get something for.”

[slowmotiondanny]

hollyxhorn:

“Plenty of flowers in bloom at my greenhouse if you’re looking for a present. They are free to a good home.” Holly smiled gleefully. “Or maybe a cactus if you are looking for something with a little more longevity.”

“Free?” Danny asked, rather surprised. “You should be charing, it is the season.” He wasn’t really on the market for flowers, or really anything, but he was thinking about possibly getting his sister something.

aliciadelmar:

“Oh I see what you mean.” Alicia nodded her head. She smiled when he talked about his sister. “That is so sweet, I always wished I had a sibling.” She nodded as she folded her arms across her chest. “I’ll bet she is happy to have you around then.” 

Danny did love his sister. “I feel like I need her more than she needs me.” And that was the truth. “I guess I’m lucky, because I have a little brother as well. She’s the youngest. Being the oldest is... An experience.” He slowed his pace down to a stroll. “Are you from here?”

roxanna-castillo:

Roxy laughed, she didn’t mean to, but she had to. “Delicates can be tricky til you get the hang of them. But yeaaaa, I wouldn’t let you near them either if I were Rosie.” At his question, she grinned “Virginia actually, so not a very big move to New York.” She knew he and Rosie weren’t from here either. “Do you like it here?” Roxanna noticed his eyes go to her hands and wondered if he was okay. She was about to place her hand on his arm and ask when he spoke again. “Pfft. You’d get a dollar. . Maybe a dollar every time they announced the name,” she joked. 

“Apparently so I don’t even try to help her with laundry anymore. She’s on her own.” He chuckled, and wondered why Rosette had never washed his clothes either. His were simple enough. Just old and stained, but it was all he had. “I’ve been through Chicago,” he said, only half lying, “and I think I’d like to go back there. I loved that city.” Chicago really was where his heart was, where he made the most money, and fell in love, that city was something special that he could never go back too. “Come on,” he begged, “at least 30%”

aliciadelmar:

“Well I’m sorry that is annoying to you.” She laughed shaking her head. “Oh your sister, I’ve met her before, she was a sweetie if I remember correctly.” Alicia nodded and smile at him. “Are you two close at all?” 

“Not annoying,” he shook his head, “just reminds me of the part of town I hang out in.” Danny kicked a rock down the sidewalk. “Very close,” he nodded, smiling at the thought of his little sister. “We live together. She’s probably one of my best friends.”
