Stacee took three good steps towards James, his harsh brown eyes staring the man down despite being significantly shorter than him.
“You are not my fucking father so you don’t get to talk to me like I’m a damn child. I’m far more famous and powerful than both of you combined. I do what I want when I fucking want, and I’m sick of you two treating me like I’m an unwanted dumpster baby.” Stacee hissed back at James before turning to look at Lestat, “You made me to help you break into the business. Well I’ve done that. And I can take that shit away just as fucking easily. Because guess what bitches, I’m the one with all the connections. And I’m the one who can take those connections away with a single phone call. Me and Gazelle could live a famous rocking life on our own while you two suffer in poverty where no one remembers you.” Stacee ranted at Lestat, glancing back and forth between the two men as he cursed at them. Lestat, meanwhile, just stood there with crossed arms listening to his fledgling ramble.
“Are you finished?” Lestat asked, his voice deadly calm with a tone that James would recognize: Lestat was pissed. And not just pissed, this was murderous intent pissed. When Stacee huffed and nodded that he was finished, Lestat smirked.
The disgusting sound of multiple fractured bones echoed off the walls as Lestat shattered both of Stacee’s knees with a swift kick to the backs of his legs. He then stood on his back once he had fallen and crushed his shoulder blades and multiple ribs, grabbing the rockstar by his hair and yanking his head back. Stacee screamed in agony, his voice identical to how Lestat sounded when he was being tortured. The vampire was coughing up dark blood as Lestat continued yanking his head back by his hair, forcing his fractured spine to arch.
“You listen here and you listen good. James and I are older than you will ever be if you keep up this behavior. We treat you like a child because you bloody act like one. The only reason you are still alive after this stunt is because you share my face and because Gazelle is a good friend to us. If you try this kind of BULLSHIT again, if you even THINK about disrespecting us with empty threats like this ever again, Gazelle will be pulling your strewn about body parts from the nearest river. Have I made myself CLEAR?!” Lestat snarled through gritted teeth as Stacee tried to move but his body was taking a while to heal. He nodded weakly as Lestat released him, rolling his eyes as Stacee continued choking on his blood, his bones ever so slowly beginning to heal and reset themselves excruciatingly painfully.
“Thank you for retrieving this for me, Mon amour.” Lestat kissed James lovingly as Stacee sobbed in agony, wondering if Gazelle was going to give him hell for this or not.
James stepped back as Lestat reminded him that he was more than just a pretty face. For all the sweet charm Lestat could exude, he was still a killer who was far stronger than even himself. James often provide a voice of reason, and normally he would.. but it had been some time since he'd seen Lestat flex his power like this.
Ergo; James instead stood there wide eyed at the display before him, wearing the brightest blush yet at the same time an expression of horror on his features from the screams of agony and pained expressions Stacee wore. It was like watching his lover be tormented by himself.
When Lestat had finished and reached to take his hair tie back, James snapped out of it. " wot? Ah.. yes- of-- of course. " he scowls just about to hand it over.
Of course Gazelle had interjected when she felt her husbands pain and come running, the blade pinning the hair tie to the wall of the bus. James turned toward her and sighed about to try and explain, but of course there was no need for him to as Lestat handled her as well, before taking his hand and leading him to the other area.
" Far be it from to critique harsh disciplinary tactics when it comes to the buffoon what happens to share your face but.. was that really necessary?"
