Daniel Carter

Both Daniel and Crimson are reading files from Valentino's box of potential victims.

'I can't believe that Juliet had managed to figure out who to get for my Trans Witch Project.'

Mary is looking through all of the files.

'Alright Wolfe. Repeat after me.'

'Technically, we got names and locations of these girls for this project. But we still need blood samples, so we can identify their blood types.'

'But how can we get the blood for the Trans Witches to bathe in? That requires killing people.'

'And that's why we need to start after Tokyo.'

'Even so, I won't be the Grand Wizard anymore due to my agreement. I still have to get an appeal if Billy will take over the Wizards.'

'Appeal for what?'

'For my Salem seat. If they say no to Billy when he replaces me, then meaning we got 2 seats open for Salem Witches.'

'Maybe my Guild Leader would be interested in it.' Crimson smiles.

Daniel starts laughing. 'No offense, but I doubt Crawford would fill that seat. She seems too nice to be a Salem Witch.'

'And yet, we have a Plague Witch of Peace.'

'True, but the difference between being a Good Witch and a Peaceful Witch is that one side can be muddy when it comes to morality, thus quite fearsome and dangerous.'

'Then who do you think might take the seats?' Crimson is curious as she's reading.

Both Daniel and Mary give out the same answer.

'Paige Callaway.'

Daniel then said the second. 'If Valentino wasn't arrested, she could've been the other. But as of right now for the front runner up, it's obviously Callaway.' Daniel then grabs a few veils of blood that Crimson places down for him. 'You think these temporary effects will work out?'

'From Dr. Moone research, they might work on Magical Girls. But I recommend testing them out on transphobic women.'

'I know a few I will try on. And a couple of assholes.'

'More transphobes?'

'No, just in general. I still have to deal with some actual assholes outside of transphobes. But I bet you doctors have some actual potential victims you would have dealt with.' Daniel chuckles.

Mary signed.

'Yes, but that's due to long stressful days at the office. Performing surgeries, and seeing grotesque on a regular basis. And I'm talking about people we found disgusting, the surgery is just something you need the stomach to go through. Lucky for me, before being a doctor, I was a butcher.'

'...I was a butcher.' Crimson smiles as she repeated what Mary said.

'Shit! You shouldn't say that.'

Belle pats Mary.

'It's too late.'

'A butcher?' Daniel laughs.

Belle was curious.

'You were a butcher?'

'Women back in the olden days were technically butchers since we were either baby carriers, moving sex dolls and butchers in a kitchen.'

Belle is confused.

'I think you made a grammar error by saying "and" and not "or", Mary.'

'No, that's basically the truth.'

'Are men back then really were pigs?'

Mary delayed the answer.

'They were much classier than today's standards, and have a sense of purpose. Duty. But nowadays they are softer than most from my time period, hell, even Marge's husband has Hemophobia and he has bigger balls than most since he's a doctor.'

'A bit harsh.'

'But quite true. In my view, at least.'

Crimson is leaning next onto the desk. 'So tell me about yourself, Danny. I would love to know when you transition into a man, and your background.'

Daniel smiles.

'Born and raised in Detroit. I came from the 1970's. My dad was a trades worker, working at the factory. I even joined him during his work days, and not gonna lie, I kind of enjoy getting my hands dirty working with iron steel. The days with me and my dad were the best, which is why I wanted to be as strong as him.' Daniel is leaning back with a sorrowful smile.

'And the mother?'

'She left dad and I when I started going to work with my dad. She didn't like what I've become, and thought I was her precious little princess. But this princess of hers had been bullied by other girls at school. My mom came back only to file a divorce, and took me to live in New York here.'

'So whatever happened to your dad?'

'My mom's husband.' Daniel pulls out a rose. 'Even till this day, I still don't fully understand why. But I was pulled into the world of the mafia lifestyle.'

Daniel continues to look at the rose when he remembers reading an article of the Detroit News of a steel worker who died during an after hours incident, knowing it's his dad.

'Being part of the mob family, I had to follow certain types of rules, especially me since I was only brought in. So when growing up, I caught on to some tricks.'

Mary comments.

'That would explain her Guild tactics.'

Belle asks Mary about it.

'She never mentioned it?'

'Didn't bother. She was just a client to me, I didn't care if she was part of the mafia or such crap.'

'But there are Mafia Witches too, right?'

'Oh yeah, the Boss of the Salem Family even made it to the 10 Seats before the Magical Girls had brought them down.'

Crimson then leans forward. 'So does that mean you're a Godfather?'

'Nah. I never cared much about my step dad's business. Right after graduating high school, I actually went back to Detroit, but leaving the family is a problem of its own. Thinking about the time made me remember why I see myself as a man stuck inside of a woman's body.'

Daniel pulls out an old picture of his dad with his friends, but snaps his fingers to call upon a simple baseball bat with some few bloodstains on it. Glaring down at it then inside, his Wand, the traditional Wand stick, hiding in the base of the bat.

'So I spend a year of mentorship which leads me to become a Witch. But sadly, that was after the Family wanted me dead. So after they had me beaten to a pulp with this bat, my Mentor at the time, made me a Witch but before that, I grabbed the bat. Oddly enough the bat survives but my clothes, yeah,'

Daniel is remembering his time as a woman, naked in front of people from the Cauldron.

'Once I broke out of my Cauldron, I woke up all naked in front of people. So embarrassing, and got arrested for public indecency, and carrying a battering weapon. Back then, my original name was Angela Carter.'

All three are confused.

'Angela?'

Mary turns to both Crimson and Belle.

'I always thought trannies always go with mirror-like names? So I assume his name was Danielle.'

Belle punches Mary that spins her in midair.

'You don't say anything that offensive!'

'I'm not apologizing!'

Belle is choking Mary while Crimson is trying to keep it cool.

'So when did you transition?'

'I transitioned back in 2010. As for the reason? Well during my days with my dad, and doing mobster work, I tend to feel like I belong with the male sex, and I wasn't much of a principessa. I was questioning myself and even caught myself wearing the boys uniform. I cut the end tips of my hair for a makeshift beard. Actually!'

Daniel pulls out a bag of his beard.

'I still use this from time to time, but I keep forgetting to put it back on after I transition. So I keep it as a memento.'

'So did your Mentor take you out of the Cauldron?'

Daniel looked at her then had a downward expression. 'No. She died from a Magical Girl. And I was labeled as a missing person back in the 1970s, so the case went cold. I had to explain why my appearance and my missing report. That was fun.'

Daniel is naked in front of the police officer at the interrogation room, wearing a blanket to cover herself, embarrassed by it.

'Back in the 1970s where transsexual was more of an urban myth back then, but the idea of turning into a man was quite unique. And I originally wanted to become a factory worker, but it was hard for a woman to get into it.'

'Does that mean your place is factory based?' Crimson is curious.

'No. We're under one of the old mobster hideouts. My step dad didn't really use this place at all, so I took it.'

Crimson then realized. 'What happened to your mom and stepdad?'

'My mom, who later had two more kids with him, took me home. She was shocked at first, but then had a disgusted look. Like she wasn't happy to see me, but after 10 years of being missing, I was forced back to New York. There, I met my younger sister, Taylor Maritato.'

Both Crimson and Belle said the same thing, 'Maritato? Sounds familiar.'

Mary realizes and freaks out.

'Wait a damn minute?!'

'Yeah, the Pink Magical Girl: Guardiana, is actually my niece.'

Daniel shows off a picture that reveals a girl just entering the Magical Girl Academia last year.

5'9". Tan skin with long black hair. Wearing a suit with a fedora hat on. She has a special Locket that resembles a key.

'Does your family know about your business here?' Crimson is freaking out and looks out of the window to see if it's a sting operation. 'Because this is just my first day as a Nurse.'

Daniel chuckled. 'Don't worry, Dr. Crimson. I ain't gonna snitch on you, and not at first till after I transition. Only me and my mom know about this, the Maritato Family doesn't.'

'There's a "but" in there, right?'

'Correct you are, Dr. Crimson. My little brother, Eric, is suffering from terminal cancer. My mom wanted to save him through magic.'

'Ah! So the Trans Witch Project is to save him, and the start of the idea?'

'Hell no! I'm doing that for my partner, and for those who wanted to be a witch but can't due to biological technicality.'

'Oh.'

'But she made the choice for him, since he's the heir of the Maritato Family. And she got wind of my Trans Witch Project from my partner a couple of years back, so she wants a forced transition. And since my niece is a Magical Girl, and I am a Salem Witch, she has her goal on reviving the mafia ways, and I can launch my brother as a Plague Witch, and reorganize it from the inside. From all that, with Taylor as a Magical Girl, we can do and have under-the-table dealings.'

'And what do you get out of it?'

'The reason why my dad has to die, and kill my stepdad. Since he didn't know that I've been sending many of my Wizards in to kill all of his guys.' He gives out his cackle. 'From outside, I'm the Grand Wizard that's killing the Maritato Family, but from the inside?'

Daniel's skin is slowly morphing back to its original state in his female form and a higher pitch tone.

'I'm the innocent lost girl as Angela Carter.'

He cackles in this form while Crimson is amazed by this transformation.

'Wow! So you Trans Wizards can morph back to your original female form?'

'Yes, but my dick down there is not just a big piece of meat with nothing moving down there. Does make me look like a Futanari, which the Japanese girls tend to call me as. I like the compliment and all, but I like to keep my look as who I really am.'

'Speaking of which, can you transform back into Daniel?'

'As my real self?' Daniel looks cocky but quickly looks down out of depression. 'No. I had to go back for an operation, and I only go back as Angela whenever my mother or Maritato wants me around. Which only happens like once a month. Now I gotta make an appointment.'

'Sorry to hear.'

'Yeah.' Daniel's phone vibrates then answers the text from a person named Andy Mathews. 'Guess I gotta go, so can we meet up after the Coven Meeting? Let's say, November 10th?'

'That would be lovely, but me and my Guild will be going to Tokyo. We can meet there. And why the huge time gap?'

Daniel got up then started stretching while grabbing the box. 'I would, but once my title as Salem Wizard is removed, many small-time Witches might want to charge into my territories around America, Canada, and some of the United Kingdom. Billy will go on my behalf, while me and my other two High Wizards will be serving as protecting whatever my territories from them, and I'll start killing them without a second thought. And for those 10 days, I'll be constantly fighting against everyone.' Daniel then sees the blood. 'And let's weaponize those Artificial Witch Blood, so I'll be expecting those by the 1st. And I'll be dropping the product every Saturday till the 29th, since you'll be leaving for Tokyo by then.'

'Wonderful. I'll make sure they'll be examined and be ready on time. And who knows? Maybe I'll make my Guild Leader a Salem Witch.'

Daniel giggled. 'You're cute. Mary said the same thing, but she got herself killed at your home base. As for the Salem Witch comment, I'm quite surprised that your Guild isn't a fearful Guild, due to its members.'

'How so?'

'4 members; 1, the final apprentice of Bloody Mary; 2, the daughter of La Llorona; 3, Layla Jaxson's little sister and former member of the MGK; 4, the niece of Frieda Reinhart. 4 terrifying elements of Witches, are under Northern Good Witch, Glinda Gardner. I think there's one more, but some greaser kid I think.'

Crimson awkwardly chuckled. 'Then I guess I won't be getting any dates then.'

'But if you're offering a meetup, then maybe I can set you up with one of my boys. I'm sure they'll like you, and I know a few great Italian restaurants here.' Daniel smiles brightly.

'Really?!' Crimson happily stood up, all excited. 'Like real Italian restaurants?'

'Of course, but maybe try a different wig first. A little style but with class.'

'I think I can manage to find one.' Crimson is blushing hard.

'Let's hug for the deal.' Daniel offers a hug, which Crimson accepts. The hug grip turned tightly while Daniel had a stone cold expression. 'But if you screw me over and my Trans Witch Project, I'll murder you and your Guild at your tiny little Oztown. Got it?'

'Got it?'

Tighten again while Daniel is slowly burning up. 'I said, got it?!'

'I got it.'

Daniel quickly let go and changed his tone. 'Thank you for understanding. And one more thing doctor.' Daniel put down his card for a number, and a money roll upfront with a total of $150,000. 'Give me a call or a text for a hookup with one of my boys. See you later doctor.'

Daniel leaves the room.

Crimson heavily signs then pops her head up then grabs her money to start counting. 'Well, time to clock out!'

Mary stops Crimson right in front of the intercom.

'Where the hell do you think you're going? We ain't done yet. Hell, we ain't even started yet.'

'Eh?' Crimson is confused.

'Simple, during weekdays from Mondays to Fridays we can start working from 5 to 10. Then on Saturdays and Sundays, we can start working from 10 to 9, and I'm working with a student right now, so I'm making it easier on you. Since you're my final apprentice, and you have to carry my duties as a doctor. And we got a lot of patients to work on. And luckily for you, that you're entering the Magical Girl Academia, going to public schools is optional now, meaning you don't have to go and we can stay here in our office to continue to work on this Trans Witch Project, and work on other clients too. But if you want a day off or even a weekend off, give your two week notice to let the other patients and clients know that you won't be available for the duration of that period. Your only free time is lunch and a short 5 to 10 minute break unless it's an emergency. Your bed back home is your free time, so use it wisely.'

'What?!' Crimson is shouting then throws a temper tantrum on the floor. 'But I want to go out and roam around New York! To have some fun, go partying and drink some exotic drinks! And I even heard there's some damn good tasty chocolate here! Hell, have sex, and I don't care who; men, women, trans, I'll fuck any of them! And we just got paid already too!'

'To do work. He may come first, but we have other duties as a doctor too. Just because you didn't make the oath, doesn't mean I can continue to break it even further. We can open up a private account at my bank, so we can save as much as we can for your Tokyo trip. Oh! Speaking of which, notify Ms. Black that you will be leaving for Tokyo, plan it with your Magical Girl trip so you can be more flexible and it will count as your day off. And when we get your Academic scheduling, we got to work around it.'

'But what if I forget?'

'You'll have multiple angry Witches to be pissed off at, and perhaps have to kill some of them, but don't worry, it will be out of self defense.'

'I can handle that.' Crimson is flexing in front of her.

'You're a complete moron, Wolfe. And we heard Carter's threat, so you better start working, even if you're dealing with other patients. Sometimes criss cross it, some doctors tend to do that and might have some unusual solutions.'

Belle seems to be impressed by Mary's profession.

'You really are a doctor, aren't you?'

'I am, but any delusional doctor who says that they're gonna cure cancer are the ones to fall first due to the overwhelming complications of the cancer cells abnormality. So Wolfe, you're gonna ask for the patients list, and see what we're working with.'

Crimson pressed the intercom and repeated what she said.

Multiple files are flying in and Crimson is reading each one.

'Let's see, we can postpone the abortion for Sunday, since this is an eight month pregnant woman.'

'Abortion?' Crimson is freaking out.

'Some are regular checkups. Ear wax removal. A Familiar client for surgical implants. So we gotta adopt some… snakes? Crap, hate doing reptiles. They're the trickiest to deal with.'

'Um, snakes are just long string animals, what can we surgical place in?'

'Let see, it has to be in human form, meaning, we have to cut the exact piece of the snake we adopt.'

'Meaning?'

'As an example; the kitty patrols back home. If one of them loses a leg, we adopt a cat and cut its exact back leg to match the lost leg of the Familiar. Make the Familiar eat it then inject some Master's blood into the bloodstreams, then within a month or two, saying in cat form, will regrow the leg till they have full control of it.'

'And what happens if we don't cut the exact part of the snake?'

'It will grow and blood both Master's and the Familiar will reject the new body part due to our miscalculations and cause the Familiar to die. Good thing it's not an insect Familiar. Those are a bitch to deal with.'

Crimson continues to be freaking out on the amount of work she has to go through.

'And another thing,'

Mary walks over Crimson.

'No sex! You're O Negative, meaning your blood is universal blood, thus making your Virgin Blood more valuable for our research and for this project.'

Crimson is crying down while Belle is comforting her, and Mary is mentally setting up her Doctor's plan for the next several months.

Meanwhile, Daniel leaves the underground compound. Pulls out his phone to send a text to a person named Riley Andrews. It reads;

"Do a background check on the Wicked Witches till Tokyo date."

Then the text bubble pops up till the reply; "If they're going to Tokyo, we can have him keep an eye out on their movements. But I can send one of my boys to be stationed there for a time being."

Daniel replies; "Thanks, Riley." Daniel then opens up another text contact named Bailey Young. Texted him; "I got a search mission for you to do, and I don't want Jaxson help for this one. It's a more personal matter."

Bailey replies; "Who are the targets, Grand Wizard?"

"I'll give you the details when I come back to my place."

"Understood, I'll be standing by."

Daniel walks out of a mansion-like building, to see a limo ready for him. Next to it, a man who looks like he's in his 60's, wearing a casual top and a sweater vest, slacks, loafers, and a cane. He seems happy to see Daniel.

'Hello Angie!'

Daniel is annoyed by that. 'Andy, how many times do I have to tell you that isn't my name.'

Andy laughs. 'Then stop looking like Angie, Danny.'

Daniel shrugs it off then walks up to him to give him a kiss. 'Sorry you have to wait so long, Andy. But the Trans Witch Project will be back in business.'

They enter the limo. 'You don't have to do that for me, Danny. I've been happily married to you for nearly 40 years.'

'I know.' Danny then turned into a middle aged woman then both of them happily leaned onto each other, holding each other's hands. 'But I ain't ready for you to be apart yet, my dear.'
