Chapter Text
"This city stinks, like its rotting," Steve said as he looked around him. Gotham city was a random collection of grand Gothic architecture, 1940's art deco and cold modern skyline forced into coexistence. The sky was overcast and combined with the smell of rot it gave the city a melancholic presence as if it were an old monster wounded deeply and dying. "No worse than Chicago," Eddie replied absentmindedly as he keenly watched over their crew carrying their luggage out of Gotham International Airport to their black G Wagon.
A line of four black SUV's were parked behind already loaded up with some of their crew to help escort them to their new home. Steve inhaled deeply and smiled "It's better than Chicago. I love it, I want it."
Eddie smirked at his husbands antics, before putting his arms around Steve's waist and pulled him in close "Then it's yours darling," the older man said before capturing Steve's lips in a heated kiss.
"Not quite yet, there's a lot of players on this board, not to mention that psycho that dresses like a Bat," Steve replied as he grabbed Eddie's hand and pulled him to the car. Eddie climbed in and stretched out in the back seat, barely settling in before Steve crawled in after him and draped himself sensously over Eddie's body.
"Where to sirs?" Their driver asked, glancing up into the rearview mirror and rolling his eyes as he saw his bosses kissing heavily. "Home for now, Will," Eddie said in between kissing Steve's neck. Will nodded as he cranked the car, making sure to turn on the radio to help drown out the noise of his bosses in the back seat.
"I'll kill anyone that gets in our way, especially the Bat. I'll put a bullet in that nice cowl he's got and string him up for the whole fucking city to see," Eddie purred as he gently stroked Steve's cheek. "First we've got to get a foothold, Gotham hasn't had a taste of what we're offering. As soon as the streets are flooded with our product, Drops and Bliss will be a thing of the past and we'll own this city just like Chicago," Steve replied.
Eddie cupped Steve's left cheek in his hand and he watched as his husband's smoky eyes fluttered closed and he practically melted into the touch. "You look so pretty while you're scheming, darling," Eddie only half heartedly teased. "Oh be serious," Steve replied trying to sound annoyed but he couldn't keep the smile from his face. "I'm always serious," Eddie purred as he leaned in and caught Steve's lips in a heated kiss. Steve parted his lips and moaned softly as Eddie's tongue licked into his mouth.
Steve let himself and his cares drift away for a moment as he let Eddie kiss him senseless. The prospect of taking over Gotham wormed its way back into his mind however and Steve found himself pulling back despite his whole self wanting nothing more than to go forward.
"Eds, the people here are a different breed of crazy," Steve said and Eddie laughed. "Finally some on our level huh," Eddie said with a grin and he watched as Steve's expression darkened. "Exactly, this won't be the same as dealing with the Viti's and Gigante's back at home. We have what Gotham needs but there's going to be a hell of a fight to give it to her," Steve said grimly before continuing. "If things go bad with Cobb..." Steve started but Eddie cut him off with a kiss.
"Relax darling, I'm taking this move very seriously," Eddie said as he pulled back. "Good, because I couldn't take it if anything happened..." Steve trailed off as his hand laid over the right side of Eddie's stomach. Beneath his husband's t shirt lay the scars from 3 bullet holes.
Eddie grabbed Steve's hand and pulled it up to him. Steve had put on long stiletto nails, painted black with art designed to look like blood dripping down from the points. His husband always did like his statement pieces. "Shh, that happened a long time ago, darling," Eddie said softly as he kissed each of Steve's knuckles, placing an extra kiss to the younger man's diamond studded 24 karat gold wedding band. "You worry too much," the older man continued before kissing the top of Steve's hand, taking a moment to admire the black and grey tattoo of Medusa Eddie had inked into his husband's soft skin two years prior.
"Just swear to me you'll be more careful this time," Steve said and Eddie smirked before making a crossing motion over his heart "Hope to die," Eddie replied and Steve lightly smacked his arm. "OK, ok," Eddie chuckled "I swear I'll be more careful." Steve looked at him smugly at having gotten his way.
"I love you Eddie," Steve said and Eddie grinned. "I love you too Steve," Eddie said as he let Steve's hand go to press a kiss to the younger man's lips. "Stop worrying and enjoy the ride darling," Eddie said softly as he pulled away. Steve laughed knowing Eddie was talking about more than just their ride to their new home.
Eddie smiled as Steve lay his head down on his chest and began to hum happily as the older man ran a hand through his thick hair. Eddie leaned his head back against the cool glass and watched out the opposite window as the city passed them by. It had been 8 months since The Riddler had blown the city's sea walls away and the city had been plunged into the midst of a gang war caused by the power vacuum of Carmine "The Roman" Falcone's death.
They had watched the developments of the war between the Maroni's, Falcone's and a player no one saw coming Oswald "The Penguin" Cobb.
When the war was won it was The Penguin who had managed to wrest power away from the established mob powerhouses. Eddie could admit he was impressed when the news came to them that the Penguin had won the war. He and Steve had come from nothing and had scraped, clawed, back stabbed and murdered many to claim their crowns. He understood a man like that, could work with a man like that.
Steve grumbled as Eddie's phone began to ring. The older man rolled his eyes as he tried to pull his phone from his pocket with some difficulty as Steve refused to move an inch and Eddie didn't have the heart to make him. "The fuck is it?" Steve growled as Eddie wrest his phone free. Eddie chuckled "Robin who else"
"Hello Gotham's newest crime lord speaking," Eddie said into the phone. "Real funny Eds," Robin replied dryly. "I thought it was funny," Steve said reassuringly and Eddie couldn't help but smile at him.
"What's up Rob?" Eddie asked. "I've got you two booked a private table at the Penguin's new Iceberg Lounge tonight," Robin said and Eddie grinned. "Good, do they know who we are?" Eddie asked. Robin laughed "Uh yea they definitely know. Are you sure you guys want to do business with this man, Eddie? I've heard some...super extra fucked up stuff about this guy and he most definitely cannot be trusted," Robin said trying to sound indifferent but her worry wormed its way through her voice.
"Aww you worried about us?" Eddie teased. "Well yea, of course. It took me like 2 hours to convince Vickie that she wouldn't need to go guns blazing after you two but she's still worried sick about you two meeting with this guy and so am I. Please you two don't do anything stupid like get yourselves killed tonight," Robin said worriedly.
"We're gonna be fine, trust me ok and tell Vic to calm down and get her panties out of a wad," Eddie said with a smirk. He heard Robin huff out a soft laugh "Ok Eds, but I'm trusting you to bring my platonic soulmate home in one piece. If anything happens to him I swear to God, Eddie," Robin said sternly. "You know I won't let anything happen to Steve. But to answer your question yes we're sure we wanna do business with Cobb. He's currently the strongest boss in Gotham, all the smaller gangs are allied with him. The son of a bitch is smart and more importantly greedy," Eddie explained before continuing. "I don't need to trust him to work with him."
Steve laughed and sat up slightly before taking the phone from Eddie. "Besides Robbie, as soon as we've got a good grip on the city we'll kill him, simple as that."

"Welcome home princess," Eddie said as he unlocked the door to their penthouse and opened the door. Steve giggled as Eddie swept him off his feet and carried him bridal style through the doorway, kicking the door closed behind him. He carried Steve to the couch and sat down keeping Steve in his lap.
The penthouse was large and lavish, built to mimic the classic Gothic architecture that was so prevalent throughout Gotham. They had sent a team of their most trusted crew members led by Vickie and Robin a week ahead to make everything ready for them.
Steve caught Eddie's lips in a passionate kiss before pulling back "I love it here, I love you Daddy," Steve purred. "I love you too princess," Eddie replied as he began to kiss and nip down his neck. Steve let out a contented sigh and leaned his head back, giving Eddie more room to work.
Eddie hummed softly to himself in satisfaction as he ran a hand up Steve's shirt and felt the blood red lacy bralette his husband had on. Steve knew it was Eddie's favorite along with the matching thong that went with it.
"Perfection," Eddie whispered against Steve's skin causing the younger man to let out an airy moan. "Who do you belong to?" Eddie asked as he drew back to look at Steve. His husband looked at him with eyes glazed with lust and love and answered back ever so sweetly as he arched into Eddie's touch. "You Daddy."
Eddie glanced at the Rolex on his wrist, one of the first gifts Steve had given him after they had brought Chicago to heel. They had a little over four hours before their meeting with Oz. More than enough time to break in their new penthouse and get Steve into the right headspace.
"Stand up princess," Eddie purred and Steve didn't hesitate to obey. Eddie raked his eyes over his husband's body approvingly. Steve was dressed in a tight grey v neck t shirt over which he had on a black blazer that he had rolled the sleeves up to his elbows, showing off some of his tattoos. His pants were black and so tight they left almost nothing to the imagination and black heeled booties with silver chains draped over them. Eddie's favorite part of Steve's outfit however was the black leather choker with a solid gold skull in the center that sat so prettily against his skin.
Steve had many chokers that Eddie had gifted him over the years. The younger man had a deep pathological need to have his throat covered at all times.Steve preferred to be collared but in their line of work Eddie couldn't have Steve looked down on in any way by anyone in or outside of Hellfire. Steve was an absolute equal partner in their business and Eddie refused to have Steve treated as just his husband or even worse his boy toy. Steve was Boss as well and there was hell to pay if that fact was forgotten.
"Like what you see?" Steve asked teasingly. "Always," Eddie replied and Steve blushed at the intense honesty of his husband's reply. "Take off your jacket and shirt princess," Eddie said as he sat back against the couch and lit a cigarette before propping his right foot on top of his left thigh.
Steve once again didn't hesitate to obey his husband's gentle orders. He stripped down, folding his clothes and setting them neatly on the arm of the couch.
Eddie licked his lips as his eyes raked over Steve. The bralette hugged his husband's chest in all the right ways and Eddie would never get tired of looking at, licking, biting and worshipping the expansive collection of tattoos on Steve's tanned skin. Eddie had been the one to tattoo every piece on his husbands perfect body. He refused to let a stranger, especially another man, touch what was his. Eddie's favorite was the large full color tattoo he had done that took up Steve's entire right side of a Geisha holding a bloody katana, her face half hidden behind a demonic Oni mask. The piece was the perfect closure Steve had needed to own and heal from his past life and for that it would always be Eddie's favorite tattoo he'd ever done.
The last man to put a hand on Steve was his husband's father. Eddie made sure that it was the last time he would ever touch anything when he took the bastards hands before Steve put a bullet through his balls and then his brain.
Steve stood still and let Eddie worship him with his eyes. He loved the way the older man's dark eyes seemed to bore a hole straight through to the dark heart of his being. "Pants and boots darling," Eddie ordered next before taking a drag from his cigarette. Steve's body was moving even before he thought to move. He wanted to obey, no, needed to obey Eddie. He needed to hand himself over to his husband completely, it was the only thing that made him feel whole and quieted the swirling madness in his mind.
Eddie inhaled sharply as Steve stripped away the last of his clothing, standing before him looking so beautiful in his bralette and thong. His husband was already achingly hard and his cock strained against the thin red lace, a growing wet spot staining the delicate material.
"Fuck, just look at you," Eddie said more to himself than to Steve. He haphazardly stubbed out his cigarette in the ash tray on the side table before he stood from the couch and stalked towards Steve, circling him like a predator would it's prey. Steve thrummed with anticipation but dare not move an inch until ordered to.
Eddie came to a stop in front of him "On your knees," he ordered, his voice deep and rough. Steve dropped down onto the large area rug as if a puppet with his strings cut. Eddie slowly undid the button of his jeans, acutely aware of his own aching cock and the way Steve looked up at him so sweetly.
He watched Steve lightly lick his lips as he pulled himself free and he couldn't help but chuckle. "What a little cum slut my princess is, you just can't wait for me to fuck that pretty face of yours, can you?" Eddie said.
"Please Daddy, need to taste you," Steve begged sweetly, batting his lashes innocently. Eddie always loved it when Steve played innocent and sweet especially in the middle of some of their more depraved sex acts. Steve looked back at his husband's erect cock, Eddie was well over 9 inches and the younger man couldn't wait to choke on it.
"Get to it then princess," Eddie said and Steve surged forward, his hands coming up to grasp at Eddie's shirt as he swallowed his husband's huge cock down his throat. Eddie grit his teeth to keep from moaning at the perfect feeling of his husband's mouth on him. Eddie sunk a hand into Steve's thick soft hair before gripping onto the strands tightly to hold the younger man in place as he snapped his hips forward and Steve choked on his cock.
Steve's eyes rolled back at the intensity of the combined feelings of the comforting and familiar weight of Eddie's large cock in his mouth, the wicked burn in the back of his throat, the grounding feeling of Eddie's strong hand gripping his hair tight enough to hurt just right, the delicious taste of Eddie's precum on his tongue. The word devine came to his mind.
Eddie held himself still, watching as Steve choked, tears streaming down his face and his throat spasming. Finally he yanked Steve off of his cock and the younger man gasped for breath as tears rolled down his cheeks, causing his eye shadow and mascara to run. Steve could feel the beginnings of the wonderful calm fuzziness at the edges of his mind start to replace the non stop mayhem and madness inside of him as he gasped for air.
He caught his breath quickly and opened his mouth again, letting his tongue loll out expectantly. Eddie chuckled as he looked down at Steve. His husband looked positively debauched as he stared up at Eddie from his knees in his skimpy lingerie. His face streaked with black tears from his make up and his mouth open and tongue out, silently begging for more of Eddie's cock.
Eddie couldnt deny Steve anything and fed him his cock once more, holding Steve still as he began to fuck his mouth. "So beautiful baby girl, look so good on your knees for me," Eddie gasped as Steve hollowed his cheeks and sucked at him hard. Steve moaned and he felt his cock twitch in its confines as Eddie began to praise him. "Oh fuck princess, your mouth feels so good. Such a good girl for Daddy," Eddie gasped as Steve licked and sucked at his cock as Eddie's pace grew more erratic and desperate.
"Want Daddy to come down your throat, fill you up with my cum, baby girl?" Eddie managed to ask and Steve moaned loudly in answer. "Oh fuck, Princess, feel so goddamn good," Eddie managed to say as his hips stuttered slightly as he chased his pleasure.
Steve moaned as he felt Eddie's seed hit the back of his throat. He began to swallow greedily not wanting to waste a drop. Steve couldn't help that he loved the way Eddie tasted. Eddie grinned as he had to pull Steve off and his husband whined softly at the loss of him.
Eddie pulled his pants back up and Steve pouted like a child that had its toy taken away. The pout quickly morphed into a smile and laugh as Eddie helped Steve to his feet only to sweep him up into his arms and carry him down the hall.
Their bedroom was just as large and opulent as the rest of the penthouse. Their large custom bed sat in the middle of the room under a painted cieling of the sky at night. Eddie made his way to the bed and Steve laughed as he was tossed gently onto the mattress making him bounce.
Eddie moved to the double doors and closed and locked them behind them. Steve was on his knees in perfect sub form by the time he turned back around. "Good girl," Eddie said as he moved not to Steve but to the locked chest at the end of the bed. It had an electronic pin code lock on the top and Eddie punched in the familiar number and smirked as he heard the latch click free.
Steve let himself slip away as he waited for Eddie to gather what he thought they needed. He felt fuzzy and calm and very pretty. Steve didn't know how long he floated along but finally Eddie was in front of him again, gently pulling him up from the depths with sweet kisses.
"There's my baby girl," Eddie grinned as Steve's glazed over eyes blinked and came back into focus. "Hi," Steve said with a smile and Eddie chuckled and shook his head slightly. "Hi there," Eddie replied as he crawled onto the bed. "We doing ok princess?" Eddie asked and Steve nodded, his body feeling slow and syrupy. "Yes Daddy," Steve said even as his painfully hard cock began to ache for release.
Eddie held up two pairs of steel handcuffs, their chains long to reach from large posts at either end of the headboard and still give Steve just enough length to almost reach him. He grinned as he saw Steve's cock twitch and the wet spot on his thong grow. "Lay down princess, arms out," Eddie ordered and Steve moved quickly to obey.
Once in position Eddie cuffed Steve's wrists to each end of the headboard, making sure to leave the key in each of the locks, only needing to be turned to instantly free Steve for any reason. He tugged on both handcuffs to check their strength and that they weren't too tight. "Lift your hips princess," Eddie said and Steve lifted up as Eddie slid a pillow underneath him.
Steve watched as Eddie took off his tight Metallica t shirt and his ripped blue jeans and boots, licking his lips as more and more of his husband was revealed to him. Steve wanted to touch him desperately, wanted to run his hands over his warm pale skin, feel his lean muscles and trace his myriad of tattoos with his tongue. He wanted to run his sharp nails down Eddie's back as the older man fucked him stupid for hours.
Eddie grinned as he looked his husband over "What's your color princess?" Eddie asked. "Green, Daddy," Steve said sweetly. "Safe word?" Eddie asked. "Bullet," Steve answered, half choking on the word as Eddie lent down and began to kiss and lick at Steve's cock through the lace of his panties.
"Oh fuck Daddy yes," Steve threw back his head and moaned as he gripped at the chains of the cuffs to help keep himself grounded. "Mmm you always taste so good darling," Eddie purred as he sat back and began to pull down Steve's thong. He threw the soiled lace to the side, instantly forgotten as Eddie stared at Steve, his husband drawing his knees up to give Eddie access to him.
Eddie grinned as he looked at Steve's hole and saw the end of the toy he had inserted before they left Chicago that morning. He moved up to claim Steve's lips with his even as his right hand trailed over the red lace bralette. Steve gasped into the kiss as Eddie found his right nipple and twisted it cruelly. "Yes, harder Daddy," Steve begged at the pain.
Eddie bit at Steve's bottom lip and twisted his nipple again causing Steve to arch up into him. "Daddy please," Steve whined as Eddie moved to nip and lick at the right side of his neck, paying particular attention to the tattoo of Eddie's initials.
"Please what princess?" Eddie asked as he reached down in between them and grasped the end of the plug. He slowly began to twist it and Steve gripped the chains tighter, his sharp nails digging harshly into his palms. "Please Daddy need you, need your cock," Steve gasped as Eddie slowly pulled the plug out just a little before pushing it back in harshly.
Steve threw his head back against the pillows, his spine arching once more of its own accord.
"Yesyesyesyesyes,"" Steve babbled over and over as Eddie gently pulled the plug out a little further before again pushing it back in roughly. He kept the pressure against the toy as Steve writhed on the bed, the chains of the handcuffs clinking loudly into the solid oak of the headboard, as Eddie had found what he sought, Steve's prostate.
Steve felt himself hurtling towards the edge as Eddie tortured him with the plug. "Daddy, stop please, don't wanna come please, wanna be a good girl," Steve begged and Eddie smirked as he finally pulled the plug completely out. Steve whined as the toy came free and he was left achingly empty. Eddie watched as Steve's hole twitched, desperate for something to fill it once more.
Steve tried to catch his breath and get himself under control. He watched as a mean glint came into Eddie's eyes and the older man quickly moved down to Steve's hole. Steve practically howled as Eddie began to lick and kiss into his wet hole. "Oh fuck Daddy," Steve managed to say, he couldn't help himself as he pushed down onto Eddie's wicked tongue.
"You're pussy tastes so good darling," Eddie said enraptured before licking around Steve's hole. "Please Daddy, please fuck my pussy. Need you so bad Daddy," Steve babbled as he pulled at his chains, a few tears escaping and rolling down his cheek.
Eddie thought about dragging things out but it was a special day and Steve had been such a good girl throughout the move. Eddie leaned forward and kissed away his tears. "Don't worry princess Daddy's going to give you what you need," Eddie said and Steve visibly relaxed.
Eddie stood from the bed and Steve watched as he quickly went to their chest, grabbing what he needed. Steve's eyes lit up as he saw the choke chain in Eddie's hand. Eddie climbed back on the bed and looked at Steve seriously. "What do we do if you need to stop but can't speak?" Eddie asked. "Tap you or the headboard 3 times," Steve replied.
Eddie smiled and leaned down to give Steve a gentle kiss before pulling back and slipping the chain over Steve's head and positioned the chain just below his husband's choker.
Steve sighed at the feeling of the familiar metal against his skin as Eddie settled in between his spread legs once more. He heard the bottle of lube open and the wet noises of Eddie slicking his cock and he squirmed in anticipation. Steve's eyes rolled back and he smiled as Eddie finally and blessedly pushed his cock into his hole, filling him up and making him feel whole. Eddie ran his right hand down Steve's thigh before grabbing his ass and pulling him closer as he set a brutal pace.
Steve moaned loudly at the intense waves of pleasure and pain as Eddie used him. "Fuck you feel so good princess," Eddie gasped as he dipped his head and bit at Steve's collar bone. Steve pulled at the handcuffs, desperate to touch his love, and he cried out in annoyance and pleasure as the metal cut into his wrists, stopping him.
"Oh does princess want to touch?" Eddie asked meanly and Steve nodded eagerly pulling at his chains once more. "Hmm I don't know, do you think you've been a good girl?" Eddie asked before continuing. "Cause you know only good girls get to touch their Daddy's."
"Yes, yes I've been so good. I'll be so so good Daddy, please. " Steve begged sweetly, batting his dark eyes desperately. Eddie smiled, he couldn't deny his princess anything especially when he was so pretty when he begged.
Eddie reached for the key sticking out both of the locks and turned each one quickly, setting Steve free. Steve reached for Eddie immediately, ignoring the burning around his wrists to wrap his arms around Eddie and pull him down, bringing the older man flush with him, his mouth instantly finding Eddie's.
Eddie couldn't help but moan deeply as Steve raked his sharp nails down his back. Pain shot through him, driving him wild and his pace was relentless once more. "Choke me, Daddy," Steve whispered before nipping at his ear lobe. Eddie chuckled and moved back slightly to look down at Steve and the pretty choke chain around his neck.
Eddie picked up the chain and began to tighten it, cutting off Steve's air slowly but steadily. Steve let out an airy moan as his smokey eyes fluttered closed and he writhed beneath him. "Fuck you're so goddamn gorgeous baby," Eddie said shakily as his thrusts started to stutter and become erratic.
Steve gasped for air as Eddie released him and he was shaking, he was so close. "D-Daddy, close, I'm-I'm," Steve tried to say until he was cut off by Eddie forcing his mouth open and spitting down onto the younger man's waiting tongue. Steve cried out as he came hard, his eyes rolling back and his back arching, spurts of cum shooting up onto his stomach and chest, ruining his bralette.
Eddie buried his head into Steve's neck even as he buried himself deep into Steve as he came. He couldn't stop himself from mumbling sweet praises into Steve's sweaty skin. "Such a good girl, love you so much princess, so perfect, so beautiful, do anything for you, burn the world down for you, you're mine, I'm yours, kill for you, die for you."
Steve floated, his mind blissfully quiet as he felt and heard Eddie speaking softly to him. He didn't know how long it took him to realize that Eddie had pulled away from him and was looking at him expectantly. "Huh?" Steve asked and Eddie chuckled and shook his head.
"I asked you if you were ok," Eddie repeated and Steve felt himself surfacing slightly. "Oh, yes I'm very ok," Steve replied his voice slow and syrupy. Eddie smiled and him and shook his head before he moved back causing Steve to whine and pout as Eddie pulled out of him.
"Don't whine, I have to take care of you, you did a number on your wrists pulling so hard at your chains princess," Eddie said as he sat on the bed next to Steve and began to examine his wrists.
They were bruised and his skin had been rubbed raw but he hadn't pierced the skin so Eddie got off the bed and went into their adjoining bathroom. He quickly grabbed and wet a rag, and grabbed some things for Steve's wrists. He was back by Steve in a flash, worried about leaving his husband alone for too long. Steve smiled at him as he crawled back onto the bed and gave him a gentle kiss before cleaning him off. Eddie set the rag aside and set to work on Steve's wrists. He gently rubbed on some antibiotic cream and wrapped them lightly in a bandage. "We'll have to go back to padded cuffs if you do this again Steve," Eddie said, making sure to call his husband by his name to get through that he was serious.
Steve looked away in a huff but nodded non the less. Eddie sighed and reached out to turn Steve to look at him. "Don't be mad princess," Eddie said and Steve sat up. "I can take it Eddie, I'm not going to break," Steve insisted.
Eddie chuckled and Steve glared at him. "That's not it, I know you can take it. I just don't like how you got hurt. I dont want you tearing yourself up just to get to me," Eddie explained and Steve's expression softened. "I'd tear myself to pieces if it meant I got to you at the end," Steve said softly and Eddie couldn't help himself as he surged forward and caught Steve in a heated kiss. "Promise me," Eddie said as he managed to tear himself away. "I promise I'll be more careful next time," Steve said softly and Eddie smiled at him.
"Come on we need to start getting ready to go to The Iceberg," Eddie said. "What sort of look are we going for?" Steve asked wondering what Eddie had decided their angle was for dealing with The Penguin. "We're going for high class grime," Eddie said and Steve laughed "So just be us then."
Eddie grinned at him "Well we're just so loveable I figured it would be the best way to make new friends," Eddie replied. Steve grinned at him, "Well then, let's get ready to go conquer another city.
