I had a message already.

Besides the standard Kianna one. This was from Asa.

Look who I ran into. An old friend, who was soooo ‘sad’ to hear about our breakup. And then actually sad to hear we were back together...

Fuck. She was flexible.

Can I come over, or is she still there?

You’re clear, she had to run off to see someone else. But we’re working out once a week now. Don’t worry, it’s while you’re at work.

I drove over, only to discover a message from Kat--

Can we talk? Possible competition.

I gave her a call, yep, competition from Asa. I told Kat she’d just have to step up her efforts. Poor thing wasn’t thrilled by that, but was fired up by it.

I walked up to Asa’s apartment and she opened the door.

I blinked, then she zipped up the sweat suit with a wink. “I thought Jewelz could use some inspiration. What’s up?”

I told her everything.

“Fuck. Well, Skin isn’t the innocent I thought she was…she wants this and she’d be useful. Plus, she’s fucking hot…but, it still makes me nervous. She’s only eighteen.”

“But?”

She paused, then shrugged. “Do it. Make as much progress as you can and get her away from that bitch.”

“Will do. You were right on Firefly. We made enough progress I was able to buy the upgrade to Intimidating Presence. We need to decide what’s next.”

She gave zero shits about the appearances perk and argued forcefully for Find A Slut, because Jinx might come after me and that would give me a warning. I argued for Encryption, if I was about to go fuck a cop-hating hacker…but I couldn’t put much into it. With Find A Slut, I could literally search the city, block by block for Bridgette. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Harley or someone else decided to pay me another visit, so long as they were a target.

Celebrating her victory with a little, teasing dance, Asa smirked at me. “Oh, and what’s you doing tomorrow?”

I thought for a moment. “Think I’m free?”

She smirked. “Jenna’s coming over to do a job for me.”

“Huh, what’s wrong with this place?”

“She heard that you and Andre had a pissing contest and broke my cabinet door,” she pointed to the kitchen, where indeed a cabinet had been damaged quite badly. “God you two are always competing over me. If only I could meet someone who actually built things instead of breaking them. Oh, well, when can you come over,” she smiled at me, mocking Jenna’s gullibility.

“When do you want me here?”

“One, or so. Between Role Model and my help, I think we’ll be able to make a lot of progress,” she grinned broadly, cruelly.

I blinked at that. “Uh…did she do something to you?”

“She did something to all of us. Fucking supercriminals, ruining this city, killing people. And she works for them. No. She’s gonna work for us and be our bitch. So let’s get her used to that.”

“Not worried it’ll corrupt us?”

“I’ve been thinking about that. And I think…like, in the old days, soldiers would go out and conquer their enemies, kill them, enslave and **** their women, then come home and be good husbands and fathers. It’s just a matter of distinguishing between friend and foe.” she stepped forward and grabbed my dick. “Friends?”

“Friends.”

“Jenna? She’s an enemy, so we’ll make her ours. Maybe more of mom’s old testament beliefs got into me than I thought.”

I laughed and kissed her, but she pulled back. “Save it for Skin and that bitch.”

“I’ve got plenty for everyone.”

She shook her head, but didn’t pull away. “No, we have work to do. Do you remember my cousin Yuna? You met her last Christmas?”

I thought for a moment, “Sorry, not really.”

Asa smiled. “Perfect. This is her.”

She showed me a picture of a teenager, in a classical Japanese schoolgirl outfit. Despite my best efforts, my cock twitched:

Asa smirked. And her phone buzzed and an announcement popped up in my head.

Target Acquired: Yuna Mori: +36 SP

She pulled away and grabbed the phone, then whistled. “+36, what a sub!”

“You started at +44.”

“You remember that?”

I flushed at that. “Uh…”

She laughed and kissed me.

“How…what did she do to me?”

“Nothing. She stole my car when we were both teenagers. It got her sent back to Japan.”

“Uh…then how--she wronged you, not me. Before we even met.”

“Yep. But if I’m yours, then wronging me is wronging you, right?”

I thought about that. “Then why wouldn’t Jasmine have been targeted? She sure as fuck must have wronged Diamond.”

“Has she?”

I explained their relationship.

”Maybe being bitchy isn’t enough to count?”

“Maybe…”

Her phone buzzed and it popped into my head at the same time.

Achievement Unlocked: Shared Enemies:
Well, that’s probably as close as you’re gonna get and you did successfully gain a target from a target’s history. Targets who are maxxed and who know about the app, are essentially you. After all, they literally cannot resist you in any way. So, their enemies can be your enemies and wronging them is wronging you. And always was. Reward: +1 Target Maximum. If you’d figured this out yourself, you’d have gotten +5!

“Wow, that app is bitchy,” Asa noted.

I nodded. “Still, at least we know now. Uh…do you want me to do something to Yuna?”

“Just delete her. She’s an office manager in Japan. Okay life, no use to us. It was just a test.”

I nodded and deleted her.

“Speaking of my family though, you also need to go see my mom.”

I couldn’t help looking at her eagerly.

She snorted. “Maybe for your birthday, if you’re good.” My birthday was three weeks away. I could wait that long. Probably. “Or for hers,” she said with a smirk.

I didn’t know when Kianna’s birthday was, which Asa noticed and laughed at me. Shrugging it off, I asked the obvious question, “Then why am I going over there?”

“Besides her needing regular dicking after decades of abstinence?”

“Yes, besides that.”

“She’s going to give you a full check-up. She’s got a way to run your blood without anyone knowing and she’s checking you out, head to toe. Just to make sure this app isn’t doing anything else to you.”

“Arkham has checked me out a lot--”

“After injuries. You got the app after the original physical and since then they’ve just been checking for concussions and other shit like that. You are getting checked out mister.” That was her serious voice. And it meant she cared. I was weakening. Asa went in for the killing blow. “I made her get a sexy nurse outfit. Just for you.”

I folded.
