“What the fuck are you doin’ back here?” a voice booms. You turn to see an armed man, wielding a shotgun in one hand, standing only a few feet away from you.

“Easy, mate. I got it.” the Queen calls to him. You watch her push away from the wall, her tall form swaying casually as she comes closer to you. You can hardly believe it when she’s standing just inches away from you, her eyes traveling up and down to examine you for any weapons or expensive possessions. You don’t have much on your person besides your clothes and a holstered knife on your hip. She reaches over the short distance and grabs the leather holster, giving it a rough yank to free it from your belt. You decide it best to let her do as she pleases so you don’t get sent into the dirt by her guard for disobeying. She motions for him to come over and hands the weapon over before addressing you again, “Ain’t got anything else on ya’, yeah?”

“Nope,” you respond. Her eyes narrow and she walks a circle around you, hunched over to get a closer look at your clothes. She seems satisfied with your response and looks at you as she halts again. As if you couldn’t be more surprised, she then swings her long, muscular arm around your shoulder, a smile forming on her lips.

“I’ll trust ya’. For yer’ sake, I hope you ain’t lyin’ or I’ll have to gut ya’.” she snickers before bringing the bottle in her other hand up to take a drink out of. The guard stands silently, sliding your holster into his pocket. The Queen finishes her beer and tosses the empty glass away into a pile of discarded boxes. She presses you against her bare side and peers at you in the dimly lit alleyway, “What brings ya’ out here?”

That's how it started. Just a fling in the alleyway. A month and a half later you started feeling sick and weak. You didn't want to believe it– you were pregnant.

It's only a few weeks later when you practically collapse while searching for scrap. You woke up in a room, it was big– too big to be Meatball's room. You felt sick and slowly sat up. You couldn't even process your surroundings when you realized you had zero clothing on.
