Black Rose throws Reaper's body in a chair and straps him to it with her thorny veins. She makes sure that he was strapped in good before she left the body. She heads towards Calypso's office. She lets herself into his office. Heart of Darkness throws dark matter at her. She moves out of the way which it destroys most of the wall. He wasn't happy to see her so soon.

"How dare you show yourself so soon when you have failed me! You stupid bitch!"

Black Rose clicked her tongue annoyed.

"Well, this 'stupid bitch' got him strapped in a chair."

"You what!? How!?"

Heart of Darkness couldn't believe what he heard. There was no way that Black Rose captured his pride and joy. Black Rose smirked at Heart of Darkness.

"I have my ways, but he may have woken up now so you might want to check up on him."

Heart of Darkness snarls at Black Rose and flies past her and towards where Reaper is. She shakes her head.

"Like a kid in a candy shop."

She makes her way to Reaper as well. She goes into a room where a two way mirror is and watches the two of them. Heart of Darkness was grinning from ear to ear as Reaper just stared at him.

"Looks like you made your way back home."

"Home? More like hell to me."

Heart of Darkness laughs but then punches Reaper. He then digs his finger into Reaper's scar making it pulsate a purple hue.

"Don't make me put another goddamn scar on you like last time!"

"Makes no difference to me."

"Oh, it does... You are my pride and joy. I used a lot of my power to create you... You were once so loyal to me. What happen to my loyal servant?"

Reaper looks into the eyes on Heart of Darkness as dead as he could make them.

"He's dead... You killed him when you 'created' me."

"That's right! I created you so I am your master, and you need to obey ME!"

"I have no master."

Heart of Darkness' eyes turned a dark purple. He is sick and tired of hearing the same thing coming out of Reaper's mouth. Heart of Darkness roars at Reaper.

"I CREATED YOU! I AM YOUR MASTER! OBEY ME!"

"No..."

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Heart of Darkness punches Reaper again. Reaper's helmet comes flying off. The helmet hits the hard ground with a loud metal sound as to rolls to a stop. Reaper lifts his head to reveal his face to Black Rose unknowingly. Black Rose gasps and covers her mouth with her hands as she tears up. It was true. Reaper was Asher. She couldn't believe it. After all this time, he was right under her nose.

"ASHER!?"

Reaper spits blood on the floor and smiles at Heart of Darkness. Reaper goes for his favorite tactic, taunting.

"Is that the best you can do? Black Rose can hit harder than you."

"Oh, the night isn't over yet my pawn. Unlike you, I don't need to hide myself from the night to heal my wounds or even go into the Shadow Realm.

"But you hide from someone... Don't you?"

That struck a nerve with Heart of Darkness. There was no way that Reaper knew that. No, he was just trying to get under his skin, that's all.

"I hide from no one!"

"What about your 'master'?"

Reaper smiles at Heart of Darkness. Heart of Darkness just laughs. It was true, he didn't know anything about Asmodeus.

"The only one that has a master in this room is you!"

Heart of Darkness leaves the room. Black Rose enters the room moments later and walks up to Reaper. Reaper glares at her. He makes an effort to get loose but with no luck. The thorny vines that kept him strapped to the chair didn't give him any leeway to move. He spat on the ground.

"What the hell do you want?"

She picks up his helmet and rubs it. She runs her finger down the helmet where the scar was located. She looks at Reaper and sat in his lap in a seductive way. He continues to glare at her.

"What the fu-"

She interrupts him with a passionate kiss. His scar pulsates he remembers one of his memories. After she finishes, he looks at her in confusion. There was only one girl that kissed them that passionately.

"... Magan?"

She takes off her mask and smiles at Reaper. She starts to cry as tears flows down her face. She finally found him. This time, she's not going to let him get away from her again. She wraps her arms around him.

"You remembered! You remembered me!"

She was so happy to hear that he remembered her. He wasn't lost to her. Maybe she can change him back to her Asher.

"What the hell you think you are doing!?"

"What do you mean by that!?"

Reaper gestured his head at her since he couldn't use his hands.

"You! You being the Black Rose! That's what!"

"Well, I was told that you died and that a 'rogue' super soldier, that's you by the way, killed you!"

"Apparently, I didn't kill myself because I'm sitting right here!"

She gets off of him. She knows that he argues with her but this time was different. There was more venom than playfulness in his voice. She was hurt by this. Why is he so cold now? Is lost to her? No, he has to still be in there somewhere. He just has to be, for her sake.

"Well, sorry for caring for you enough to try and avenge you! I wanted to kill your murderer!"

"You don't care for me! Never did! All you fucking cared about was sex! You were always a fucking tease! You succubus!"

Black Rose was cut deep with that statement. She tears back up. How could he say such a thing. She never minded it when he's said it before but this time it was different. This time, it was meant to hurt her.

"A succubus! Asher I love you! I always have! I've been in love with you since we started working together for the past five years!"

"And you're just telling me now?"

"Because you never showed me any interest!"

This time, that struck a nerve with Reaper. Was she that blind from all those years? He started to jog her memory of the things he showed her his interest.

"I have. I've taken you on dates, bought you gifts, and even proposed to you!"

"You were drunk when you proposed to me!"

"No, I wasn't Not at the fair I wasn't."

He glared at her. She was pissing him off because it sounded like she was just coming up with excuse after excuse.

"That was three years ago! I wasn't ready to get married!"

"Well, that's when I realized that I wasn't going to marry you. I thought that all you thought I was a friend with benefits."

"Wow... Why didn't you tell me this?"

He looked at her. He knew there was no point in telling her before.

"Never saw a point in doing so. You always teased me. So, I never took you serious enough."

She then realized that she might have waiting too long. She teased him to the point where he was too numb. Maybe his heart hardened to much for her to enter it.

"I wish I knew sooner, or I would've never said no."

"Well, That ship has sailed. You lost your chance. Asher will be dead when I finish this mission."

"You're going to kill yourself!?"

Reaper squinted his eyes at her. Was she that stupid to think he would do such a thing?

"No, my reward for completing this mission is killing the Asher in me and be reborn as Reaper. That life is over, and I have a new life in the darkness."

Black Rose tears up. She had lost him. She lost him to the darkness. Her Asher was going to be forever gone. She gets close to Reaper and slaps him. She walks outside of

the room and turns around. There was one more bombshell she can give him. Something that he's been wanting for a very long time now.

"By the way asshole, you have a daughter named, 'Jessica'!"

She slams the door. Reaper stares off into the distance. He... He has a daughter?

"I... I have a Jesse?"

He had so many questions that needed to be answered, but his answers just left the room.
