I want y'all to know that this is my new-not so new-OC, Audrey le Roux. YES, she is related to Shanks. YES, she is shipped with Mihawk. No, I don't care about what you say.

Now I want to say this: Angel le Roux and Genie are my friend's OC, they rightfully belong to Straight Up Saturday Girl.

Angel is Audrey's niece and she is Shanks' daughter. I have changed a few things about Audrey, but it's just her age and past, nothing about her family or personality or whom she is with.

Any questions? Please contact me.

"I'm on the outside, lookin' in. I can see through you, see your true colors."

-Outside by Staind

Audrey felt like falling asleep, forever, as she sat in the cold, damp cell on Level Six of Impel Down. She was in the corner of her cage, shivering and only warming herself up by breathing into her hands a warm fire from her Devil Fruit power. The expensive pirate curled up and shuddered with the draft, clutching her sterling silver necklace that had the only true warmth, the love of her brother.

"I-I wanna g-go home…" Audrey stuttered out, homesick for her nakama and family. Especially Mihawk and Zoro. The two most important, vital, needed people in her life. Though… She technically couldn't return, because being thrown into Impel Down, and aiding the Shichibukai in the Whitebeard War…that was just…flat out betrayal. And she hated it, so very much.

A warden walked by and looked at the pathetic woman curled up in the corner and smirked, making a small huff at the lady who used to be the terror of the seas, all locked up now. Audrey looked up, her sea green eyes peering out at him like candle flames in darkness. She snarled and rammed her body against the bars, whimpering at the pain shooting through her body like white, hot flames. The warden shoved her back with a sea stone rod and she whimpered again, going back into the corner. She frowned as the footsteps faded away and rubbed her arms, her vibrant red hair now dull from the lack of life she gave out.

More footsteps. This time, frantic, almost as if they're wanting to get somewhere. Audrey hissed and scuttled forward again, peering out from the cell to the dark hallways. She saw an even darker figure stand in front of her solitary confinement, seeming to be looking for something, until she saw the bright, golden irises in the dark. Audrey clutched at the bars, sagging slightly at the throb from the sea stone, and made desperate noises to catch Mihawk's attention. It did the trick. His gaze traveled to meet her tearful eyes, and he kneeled down, touching her hand gently.

"Hi," Audrey muttered quietly, stiffly interlocking her fingers with his. Mihawk reached into the cell and touched the edge of her jawbone softly before pulling out the Kokutou Yoru from the straps that were attached to his jacket. Audrey looked up worriedly as he stood, a question lingering in the nearly silver-green color as the dim light reflected off the black blade.

"What're you doing…" She said cautiously, scuttling backwards quietly. Mihawk grinned at her, the rare smile always dazzling her to no end. She felt herself melt inside and let her head fall backwards, giggling nearly silently like a hyper, little girl. Regaining control of her feelings, Audrey looked back at Hawk-Eyes, who was slicing ever so quietly a hole in the bars. Audrey caught the falling metal poles and sagged again, the sea stone cutting off her excess energy. Mihawk took those out of her hand slowly, watching her bounce back to life. She slid out, carefully not touching the prison gates and looked around. She could hear the small bickering of Angel, Genie, and Crocodile, while Ace was quiet. Audrey walked in front of her niece's cell, her sea green eyes reflecting light and showing a small silver ring around her pupils.

"I will be back…" She whispered, her auburn eyebrows furrowed with what seemed to be confusion. Angel looked up at her hopefully, for the first time since she last saw her leave her father's ship. Audrey gave her a complicated smile before whisking away, her bare feet making barely audible smacks against the stone floor. Mihawk followed her, watching her footsteps warily, his golden eyes tired yet alert. Stairs, and more stairs were all that was ahead of the pair, never ending until Audrey stopped at a floor that wasn't supposed to exist, but it does.

"What's this?"

"The transvestite land."

"…You're kidding me, right?"

"Nope. Which is why I'm absolutely horrified."

"Then don't go in there."

"Nah, I want some decent clothes, so they'll make me some."

"…..Hahaha…."

Audrey smirked at him then grimaced as she opened the door to Newkama Land, where all the transvestites stopped their girlish partying. Audrey stood at the entrance, Mihawk just behind her, and immediately leaked out Haki, small ripples forming on the ground while the stone cracked. Most of the weak transvestites fainted near her, collapsing on the ground with blood spurting out of their noses wildly. The stronger ones looked at her oddly, with the way she stood confidently.

"All I am here for… Is some clothes." Audrey yelled out, her voice booming throughout the level of Impel Down. The transvestites looked at her and didn't question the powerful woman, knowing her needs and immediately did so. Audrey's new outfit (a formfitting turtleneck, another golden haramaki, black jeans, and a good pair of tall, flat bottomed boots) came to her within ten minutes. She took the clothes gratefully and disappeared from the level, Mihawk following her quickly.

"Hmm..I'm gonna disappear around a corner, and you are going to not watch me." Audrey said, taking his hat and brushed flower petals off it. She looked up at his golden irises, her own eyes pleading for him to be good. Mihawk sighed, running a hand through his raven black hair. Audrey cackled at him, the significant 'da' in her laugh starting it out roughly. Hawk-Eyes smiled, resting his forehead on hers and taking his wide-brimmed hat back. She clicked her tongue, loving the hat so much that she literally steal it for a day whenever the man was napping, and tapped his well muscled chest, cautiously looking down the corridor. Mihawk grabbed her abruptly before she left, kissing her harshly, his lips telling her the plea to stay out of danger and be safe.

"I feel accomplished…" He rasped, the two panting, catching their breath after the rather long love scene. Audrey snorted, her hands gripping the clothes tightly.

"What're you talking about. Men always feel accomplished when they kiss a woman." She slapped his arm and scuttled away beyond a corner, changing out of her prison clothes in a flash. Her boots tapped on the stone floor, making a small ringing sound as she hopped up onto the railing of the cell block. Her elder peered over her shoulder, up at the top of Impel Down. Audrey rippled her muscles and grabbed onto the railing with her hands, scales replacing her skin as she morphed into a black dragon, slim in design and strong at the same time. Mihawk propped himself in between her shoulder blades, knowingly taking off his hat and resting his leg on it. The dragon smirked and grunted, looking down then up. Grunting, she hefted her wings out and drifted, catching an updraft before flying with quite difficulty at a vertical grade.

"Isn't this a little too difficult for you?" Mihawk asked when they landed on Level Three. Audrey shrugged and morphed back into her human form, making sure her clothes were still in place. She peeked around a couple corners before she heard the frantic voice of her brother come screeching down the corridors.

"Difficult, yes. Finding my brother, no." Audrey whispered, trying to pinpoint exactly where Buggy's yells were coming from. Mihawk looked blankly at her, wondering she had another brother other than Shanks. She took a double take at him and kicked his shin gently with her heel before running down the hallways silently. The Shichibukai stayed put, looking around while the yells of an argument bounced off the walls in an echo. When Audrey came back, she looked breathless and stressed, fangs already protruding and snaking over her lip. The swordsman raised an eyebrow in question but she ignored him, waving a hand to dismiss the query.

"My family members are idiots, but I love them." She explained half heartedly, resting on the railing before morphing back into a dragon. Mihawk nodded and watched the scales once again come out of her skin, the ruby color never failing to glow. It was uncomfortable to sit in between her shoulders, but Hawk Eyes couldn't complain, usually her flights were quick, short second spurts that whipped his hair back and messed it up from its combed back state.
