2023, The Present.

"Time to wake up sleepyhead!" The voice, a combination of honeyed seduction and sinister glee, cut through the oppressive silence that had settled in the secluded clearing. A supernatural villainess, Codename: Gale, with fiery red pigtails cascading down her chest, sat above the hole like a vengeful queen surveying her domain.

Gale's loyal partner in crime, Codename: King, looked on in amusement. Her singsong playfulness never suited her, but it was a facade that she wore with ease.

Gale's piercing green eyes gleamed with malicious delight as she watched Serghei Bystrolyotov stir awake in the pit below. His rugged features, weathered by years of espionage and countless secrets, displayed a mixture of exhaustion and apprehension. The night had taken its toll on him, mirroring the turbulence that now swirled within his mind.

"Ah! What? Where?" Serghei's voice cracked with uncertainty as he slowly lifted his head to catch a glimpse of his captors. His piercing blue eyes widened in alarm as they met Gale's intense gaze, their vibrant green hue shimmering with a hint of sadistic pleasure. The contrast between their eyes spoke volumes, Serghei's widened orbs revealing a flicker of fear and desperation, while Gale's narrowed slits exuded an unsettling sense of power and dominance.

"Oh, it is YOU!" Serghei's voice crackled with a mixture of recognition and trepidation. His weary eyes darted from Gale to King, analyzing their menacing presence and the dire situation that lay before him.

A lifetime spent in the shadows had taught him to read people, to discern their intentions from the subtlest of cues. "So, it was your dog... My apologies, your... pussy, who waylaid me." Serghei's voice carried a hint of bitterness, laced with a touch of wry humor. He couldn't help but find a shred of amusement amidst the dire circumstances that now enveloped him. His mind was sharp, his wit honed by years of navigating intricate webs of deception in the world of espionage.

"Meow." King responded, with a sly grin through his cigar, his yellow eyes narrowing into slits as he leaned against a nearby tree. The raindrops clinging to his dark mane-like hair glistened like liquid gold under the faint glow of moonlight peeking through the stormy clouds. There was a silent understanding between Gale and King, a connection forged in the fires of shared darkness and twisted desires.

Gale appreciated her old friend's humor. King wasn't in his normal combat leotard, but instead opted for a very handsome, tailored suit that clung to his muscular frame with effortless elegance. The purple fabric shimmered under the ambience, accentuating his massive physique. His lion-like features, with sharp cheekbones and a chiseled jawline, were framed by cascades of flowing dark-brown hair that danced with the rhythm of the wind. Yet, he looked cold, detached from the warmth that radiated from Gale's fiery presence.

Gale for her part, was dressed for the weather, wearing a navy-blue petticoat over her combat leotard, just short enough to betray a cameltoe, if one were inclined to look. Around her neck was a gingham scarf that fluttered in the wind like a playful ribbon, contrasting against the darkness that swirled within her. The white-fur Ushanka, perched delicately upon her fiery pigtails, added a touch of whimsy to her otherwise sinister presence.

Taking in the situation, Serghei could only sigh, "What is it that you want?"
