I will pray for you

"Bo-bo-boss we are hungry and cold!!"

The way Rhett's gaze throws daggers at them, their soul almost immediately leaves their temporary dwelling. 

"Rhett who's there?" Suddenly Neva's honeyed voice outstretches, breaking the blood soring traction amongst the quartet.

The man she calls out to pacifying his ferocity.

Soon after they could hear shuffling footsteps approaching, before long half of her frame peeks out from behind Rhett.

"Ohh! It's them?" Neva peers up at him probing for an answer. In response he just bobs his head innocently.

For all times the trio still couldn't comprehend by virtue of what leader Czar substituted a fiery lion to a fragile puppy.

'What is this woman?'

"Come inside," Neva smiles at the trio invitingly, their ears blessed the trio blinks at her ascertained they eyed their Hero. 

"Angel no!" Abruptly piercing an arrow into the trios chest Rhett declares.

"Come on Rhett, it's freezing outside, be a good Man hmm?" Neva appeals hoping to mollify him. 

"Still no!" Almost melting Rhett stands adamant. Neva clicks her tongue giving him a LooK that makes him curl his eyebrows, switching him to a harmless bunny.

Swallowing his ego, "Fine. But if you three don't scamper away the next ten minutes I'll call the cops." Gawked by alarmingly, the three nods nervously.

"Please rest easy," Affirming Neva welcomes them gleefully.

"You can sit there it's warmer," Neva suggests the timid people sat on the couch.

"We are fine here ma'am l, thankyou." Agent Ace responses, grinning half heartedly. Eyeing the warm Kotatsu and then at Rhett.

His fear of the leader being greater than the need to unfreeze his iced self, he heartily sacrifices.

Neva chuckles, "You don't have to fear him, you can warm yourself up there, I'll leave you for some privacy."

"Would you like to have something?"

"No th-" "We would like a warm meal please!" Promptly cutting Ace off the pony tailed man announces.

"S-sure" Neva baffled replies.

"Do we look like charity to you??" Rhett fumes.

"Hey, it's okay," Neva pats his shoulders.

"We don't have much though. Is rice fine?" Neva queries uncertain.

"It's perfect, we are starving anything quick would be fine!" The blonde girl voices out.

"You commanding her?" His bone chilling Appalling blare makes the three rats succumb to hell.

"Rhett it's fine, you have a talk. The food will be done soon. And you can call me Neva."

"Angel you don't have to!!" Rhett grabs her hands in persuasion.

Neva dismisses Rhett and routes towards the kitchen. Leaving the rats petrified in the Lion's Den.

Some time after Rhett demands them to get seated static inside the hot table.

Getting the trios celebrate joyously.

"Speak." Rhett initiates.

"Czar it's about the mission, we-"

"Nothing with the mission, if there's no more than get going!" Rhett interrupts the blonde girl.

"But Czar-"

"Sky!! Shhu....Leader's wife's right there!!"

Ace in a low tone corrects Agent Sky, cueing towards Neva with his gaze, grasping his forehead apprehensive.

"What makes you think I'd keep my identity a secret from her?" Rhett gruesomely inquires the man who wishes to swap himself with air.

"A-apologies Boss!"

Rhett quite contend and merry with Ace entitling Neva as his wife just glares at him, leaving the vibrating man unharmed.

Ironically he unveiled himself just this morning.

"Boss it's Raka." Snapping the tension the pony tailed man articulates.

"The organisation commands the need to gather information crucial enough to cease him."

'Raka' That mere name made Rhett go rigid.

His blood outrages over the Lord of Criminal.

The devil who snatched away the life from his father.

"Hunter, he won't be the slightest reason I'd jeopardize my peace!" Rhett frigidly vocalizes.

"Czar are you crazy? He freaking murdered your father! You were ripping him apart with your words what now?" Sky retaliates.

"You don't want me to rip your pie hole do you?" Rhett scowls at the girl. 

"It's clear I am not picking a mission anytime soon." Rhett adamant states.

"Boss please, Elk won't let us be, we can't go back nor we can go on our own. He wants You." Ace describes.

"You've fancied a vengeance on him right?

You weren't authorized before, but now you are!" Sky remarks hoping to have him a change of mind.

Sure Rhett burned to the core to have his head, he abhorred him. The man he is now couldn't be compared to the tangled Rhett he once was.

Elk didn't want to get him killed acting rashly. Now he is the foremost of other agents, he was more than capable.

But now he was fearful of leaving Neva.

He dearth being not allowed to be with her.

He could finally have her now.

Raka his information was too scarce and confidential. The best of agents brutally killed by his troops. Including agent Keith, Rhett's father. (Codenamed Black)

No soul has seen his actual face. Rumours has it Raka is so ugly that he has to top off his features with tattoos. 

"I'll think about it," at last Rhett declares, having them sigh in relief.

Moments elapses, Neva shows up with an apron tied around her waist.

"Dinner's done! Rhett bring them to the dining table!" Grinning Neva announces.

Rhett nods and hints them to be seated on the dining table. 

"Don't forget to do the dishes!'' He inclines glaring at them.

"Rhett that's not the way to behave with the guests!" Neva claims furrowing her eyebrows, to which Rhett happily jogs towards her cradling the girl.

After the trio were done with the delicious food not failing to praise Neva with every chew.

Delightedly filling up their hollow tummies.

It was the healthiest and tastiest homey meal they had, what they feel was in a lifetime.

Surely they did as Rhett demanded. Washing the dishes. Neva unwilling to let them to do so, but they knew they owed her.

Later without a second of rest they were kicked out by leader Czar.

---

Neva and Rhett were to close the day by warming up in each other's embrace.

"Can I ask what did you talk about?" Neva inquires.

"Ummm~ there's a mission for me," the sleepy Rhett replies.

"What?" "Hmm~"

After a pause Neva probes still, "Are you going?" Sensing her sorrow Rhett gazes upon her.

"You don't want me to?" Rhett grins. 

Neva just nuzzles her face deeper in his chest.

"I won't go if you don't want to." Giggling Rhett reacts.

"Really?" Neva meets his eyes.

"Sure!" Rhett kisses her rosy lips, promising Neva's blush.

Neva exhales deeply snuggling up to him,

"I don't want to be a thorn in your path Rhett."

"You are not Angel." Rhett pecks her little head.

And I haven't told them my rigid answer yet."

"When will you be back?" Neva asks.

"Not sure. A month maybe?"

His answer makes Neva at a loss. Her heart strings piercely tugging.

She gulps, "That's too long,"

"I won't go Neva," Rhett smiles reassuringly.

"I'm on a hiatus anyways, and here that led me to you. God has his way isn't it?" Rhett chuckles.

"Hmm~ I'll pray to keep you guarded and bring you back safe to me." Neva claims appeased.

"You'd remember me in your prayers?" Rhett queries feeling bubbling up emotions.

"Of course, that's the greatest and the only thing I could do for you," Neva secures her words. 

He will not value no weapons anymore, Neva being his greatest strength.

Rhett adores and admires his angel, the way she cares and tends to him, he hasn't felt the warmth ever, and he swears he could never not love her or let go of her.

"You want me to go?" Rhett queries to which Neva shakes her head.

"I don't want to, but warrior you's calling."

Neva smiles, "You must go, I'll be fine here."

Neva clutches on him firmer.

"But be sure to be back within december,

I wish to celebrate Christmas with you!"

Neva declares. Rhett peers at the girl oh he so dearly loves.

"I promise I'll be back Before Christmas." Rhett ensures her.

"You don't have to promise,"

Neva chuckles, "I'll miss you Rhett."

"I don't wanna leave now," Rhett whines.

Neva giggles resulting her lover to capture her delicate lips, sealing his vow.
