i hate the way you say my name

Summary:

beatrice is a highly trained assassin
ava is a MI5 agent

after multiple victims start popping up ava gets obsessed with who could be the mastermind behind these killings, the only problem is the attacker becomes obsessed with being watched by ava.

or

the warrior nun x killing eve au

Notes:

hey so i really enjoyed writing this one

at first ava would’ve been villanelle but i thought it would be interesting to see beatrice playing this role.

somethings will obviously be different than killing eve but the main plot line will basically stay the same!

anyways let me know what you guys think

btw you don’t need to have watched killing eve to understand this!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter Text



vienna

she slips into the alley way with ease, staying in the shadows, she’s done this before, she knows how to have her fun with it. 

she sets her eyes on her target, she approaches him, oozing confidence. he doesn’t suspect anything as she walks past him. 

what her target didn’t notice is the now gushing wound on his femoral artery, 5 minutes later he was laying dead on the cold cobblestoned floor. 


MI5 office, London 

Ava’s late, she’s really late. it’s not surprising, but she’s late to one of the most important meetings in her career of working for the mi5. A meeting with suzanne supieron, one of the best agents whos ever lived. so yes Ava is panicking. 

“sorry sorry i know i’m late i apologise” ava says panting for air as she barges into the meeting room and takes a seat next to mary 

everyone looks at ava to see the interruption “hi” ava smiles sheepishly as she looks around the room 

“let’s get back to it” suzanne’s cold tone cuts the tensions 

“of course” lilith says “as i was saying the target was stabbed in his femoral artery, he didn’t even notice the attacker until he was already bleeding out. the only other witness was his girlfriend, but she ran away before seeing the face” 

“where is the victim’s girlfriend?”

”she’s being held in the hospital we have someone who will go interview her when she gets out of shock” lilith says 

“20 pounds it was a woman” ava mutters to mary 

“did you say something” suzanne’s sharp eyes stare daggers into avas 

“oh.. um” ava clears her throat “i said i bet it was a woman” 

“and what makes you think that?” suzanne’s glare intensifies if that’s even possible 

“well you see the victim didn’t see the threat coming towards him, the attacker would’ve had to get close enough to penetrate his leg and make a swift exit, the victim was known for sex trafficking. so he wouldn’t see a threat coming from a woman” ava explains 

suzanne nods her head in approval 

“what’s your name?” suzanne asks 

“ava. ava silva” she puffs her chest up a bit

”very well, i’ll keep that information remembered. thank you for your time everyone great work” suzanne says before quickly making her exit 

“good job kiddo” mary bumps avas shoulder “now do you want to get some coffee i still hungover from last night” 


paris safe house 

beatrice walks into her house, her hands filled with bags from designer stores. she sets them down in her living area before making her way into the kitchen.

”oh vincent you’re here what a lovely surprise” her voice drips with sarcasm 

vincent is beatrice’s handler, he’s also her biggest pain in the ass. but he’s the only handler she’s had so far that does let her add her unique twists onto her kills from time to time. well… he says not to but she does anyway and he never does anything about it other than complain. 

“Beatrice great work in vienna” he hands her an envelope ignoring her sarcasm “i put in some extra for you, for not making a dramatic scene as usual” 

“i get the job done either way, your way is boring” beatrice sighs while taking a bottle of water

”you never change” he shakes his head “although you followed orders for the vienna hit, you left a witness” he sighs before continuing “i thought i taught you better than this” 

“she was already gone by the time i had stabbed him, i couldn’t chase her i would’ve been seen on cctv” she relies unbothered 

“well he have to fix our mistakes right?” he hands her a postcard “your next mission” he squeezes her arm before leaving her apartment. 

beatrice looks at the postcard for her next location ’london’. ‘6820387’ 

she types the code into her laptop, when the screen loads she takes in the information, nods her head and starts packing guess she’s going to london. 

target

name: lucy crimson

age: 28

location: london hospital 

extra information: target is a witness to past crime, she’s under police watch as of now. 

 


london hospital 

ava knows she shouldn’t be doing this, it goes against what her boss duretii told her but yet avas here. she couldn’t get that case out of her mind. 

she knows if she can just talk to the witness, she could find out wether it was a woman or not and prove him wrong. 

so this is why ava is now currently walking to a conference room, in london hospital to meet up with lucy crimson. 

“hi lucy” ava says as she takes a seat in the room next to a translator 

lucy mumbles something “what did she say” ava asks the translator 

“she’s incoherent it’s hard to get a sentence out of her” she replies

ava looks at lucy and nods she secretly takes out her phone and starts voice recording 

“lucy what did the attacker look like” ava asks the translator copies her question to lucy 

lucy looks up before she starts slurring words in german, even the translator looks confused 

“what did she say” ava asks 

“i’m not sure, it all sounds like gibberish. i’m sorry miss” 

“it’s okay” ava sighs as she stops voice recording “tell lucy to Bring ihren Arsch ins Bett” (get her arse to bed) 

the translator chuckles “you speak german?”

”no, but my boyfriends from germany i picked up a few words” ava grabs her coats and walks to the door “thank you for helping”


ava gets to the pub and takes a deep breath before entering, as she walks in she glances around looking for someone. 

“aves i didn’t know if you were gonna come” Jc says as he kisses her on the cheek 

“yes” she sighs “i can’t stay long but i was hoping you could help me translate this” ava uses her puppy eyes 

“sure what is it?”

”so one of my witnesses was babbling in german, i thought maybe she was using german slang and since you know german and are from a younger generation than what the translator was from you would know what she’s saying” ava says pulling out her phone with her headphones connected and handing it over to Jc

he puts the earphones in and presses on the voice recording, his face frowns before taking on a deep blush

”so.. what did she say” ava asks impatiently

“uh” Jc laughs awkwardly “she basically said that the attacker was small breasted” he chokes out 

“YES!” ava cheers then looks around to see everyone is now looking over at her “sorry” she puts her hand up sheepishly 

“thank you jace your a life saver. i’ll see you at home” she takes her phone back and kisses him before quickly leaving the pub 

she was right. the attacker is a woman

she quickly dials a number on the phone 

“hello is evrything okay ava?” the voice asks 

“yes yes everything is good.. i was just wondering if you could get some files up for me cami” ava says in her most innocent voice 

“ava” camilia sighs deeply “what files”

”can you pull up the files of female assassins”

camilia starts typing away 

“okay what do you want to know aves?”

”um ok so this is going to sound crazy” ava laughs “can you tell me the size of her breasts” 

“ava i know you have a thing for assassins, but they’re people too i’m not going to just objectify them” 

ava can hear camila holding back a smile through her screen 

“no camila it’s not like that it’s for an important job i’m doing” ava sighs 

“okay so this one has humongous breasts, and the others are dead” camila replies 

“is there no recent ones that have popped up?” 

“nope” camila says popping the ‘p’ “sorry aves”

”it’s okay thank you for your help cami” ava hangs up the phone 


MI5 office

the next day ava practically skips into work

”what’s got you so chipper” mary questions her eyebrows raising in suspicion 

“what can’t i just be happy” ava asks with faux hurt

”no” mary shakes her head “and i know it ain’t that little boyfriend of yours. he looks like he doesn’t even let you finish (mary that isn’t tru-) it’s true i can tell so spill” 

“so… you know the vienna case, well i went to see the witness last night” 

“ava you cannot be serious” mary shakes her head 

“as serious as a heart attack, but i did find out the victim was a woman” avas smug smile fills her face 

“no way bullshit”

”yes way the witness was speaking german but she was slurring all her words, so i voice recorded it and before you say anything i know it was bad buttttt Jc listened to it and translated that she described the attacker to be small breasted this leads us to the attacker being a woman” ava gloats 

“well i can’t deny your work ethic baby girl” mary chuckles 

“i know right! now i just have to show duretii and prove him wrong” ava quickly leaves mary’s office and takes to duretiis 

she knocks on his door and hears a faint ‘come in’ on the other end 

“ava silva to what do i owe the pleasure” he sighs deeply 

“well i know yesterday you said i couldn’t interview that witness and i apologise for what i’m going to say but i did.. but you should be grateful because she described the attacker to be a woman” ava holds her breath for what he will say 

his face turns stoic. before he looks at ava in her eyes 

“well i appreciate the information ava, but you disrespected my direct orders!!” he shouts the last part “first you take bets on this case and now don’t follow my orders you are reckless i’m sorry ava but i’m going to have to let you go” durretii spits out 

“wha-“ before ava can even reply mary barges through the office door 

“that’s bullshit durreti and you know it, ava has figured this out and without her you wouldn’t have been able to do it in the time she has. your a misogynist and a dickwad” mary barks 

“don’t speak to me like that! i’m your boss!” duretti bites back “both of you pack your offices and get out!” he yells 

mary grabs avas arm and walks her out of the door “don’t worry he doesn’t deserve us anyway” mary sighs 


london hospital 

beatrice easily snuck into the alleged “secure unit ward” shes in a nurses outfit her hair is actually a blonde wig which she tied back into a bun. 

this job should be easy enough. get into the room have a little fun with her victim then leave before anyone even notices anything. 

she walks into the bathroom and steps into a stall to check her knife is still underneath her scrubs, when she walks out of her stall she’s shocked to see a shorter woman who appears to be her age maybe younger, standing infront of the sink sorting her hair out. 

beatrice walks over to the sink next to the woman’s to wash her hands, what she can’t deny is that this woman is beautiful, beatrice must’ve glanced over at her atleast 7 times by now. 

the younger woman seems to be debating wether to tie her hair up or leave it down, beatrice is so distracted by this woman she doesn’t notice the younger woman staring back at her, beatrice’s breath hitches when she sees her face, her brown eyes draw her in

”hello” the woman smiled shyly at beatrice 

beatrice doesn’t say anything back but she does nod as a gesture. 

the younger woman decides to tie her hair up she about to leave the bathroom when beatrice calls after her 

“wear it down” beatrice changed her accent to a french one 

the woman looks back at her questioning wether she should say anything, she decides not to but she does pull her hair back down. 

“ok beatrice back to your mission” she says to herself 

she makes her way to the room where lucy crimson is luckily for her there are no guards around, she slips in before closing and locking the door behind her 

“hello lucy” beatrice smiles sinisterly before walking closer to her bed 

there’s other patient’s in the room but beatrice wants her fun and vincent did tell her to not leave any witnesses 

lucy looks up and her mouth drops open before she can even say anything beatrice snaps her neck with ease. she then gets her knife and slits her throat. 

she goes around the room taking out the other patients “why are you doing this” one patient cries 

beatrice shrugs before plunging the knife into his throat. 

after she’s finished everyone up in the room she walks out, only now there is a guard there, she sneaks behind the guard and quickly stabs him he drops to the floor.

’easy’ beatrice thinks as she walks out of the ward

as she leaves the hospital with ease she can’t help but think about that woman in the bathroom ‘who are you’
