The Artist (Alicia Sierra x fem!reader)

Summary: Y/N (a.k.a. Akita) is part fo the robbery and works backstage as negotiator. Even though her career in art didn't work out, she still loves it. When she meets the leader Inspector she feels immediately drawn to her and starts sketching...

Requested: yes

Warnings: mentions of violence, fluff, teasing, SPOILERS

A/N: sorry but I lost the request! I'm really really sorry, hope you can forgive me!! Here it is, this was really fun to write! 🥰🥰❤❤

...

Drawing was my greatest love when I was a teenager.

While other girls may have been into make-up, or drama, or gossip, or boys... I'd stay in and draw, paint, sketch. Name it, I've tried it at least once. I was an unusual girl growing up. Girls at that age were interested mostly in the hobbies listed above, while I loved the exact opposite: drawing, reading, listening to music, learning languages, playing with dogs, studying like there was no tomorrow.

At university, I chose Graphic Design. And I loved it. Learning about my favorite thing in the whole wide world, filling in the gaps of my abilities, picking up new skills... that felt like heaven. I got out of college with my head high, amazing grades and an even better graduation. Although I wasn't prepared for the world outside. Soon enough, I started struggling to pay rent, especially in a city like Madrid. And I had no choice but to give it up.

Then, I met the Professor. A man just as unusual as me, who just so happened to have saved my life right there and then. The first heist was a success. I worked well with the gang, and given my love for working behind the scenes, I was the negotiator. Raquel was a very interesting individual, but I didn't get to speak to her much, as the Professor was the leading voice of the heist. It didn't bother me at all when they got together, to be honest I was rooting for them. When it all ended, I took my share of the money and went to live in Japan. It was beautiful: the perfect balance of modernity and tradition, the amazing food, the beautiful views, the friendly people, the new language. Every little detail fascinated me.

A year later, I came to know that Rio got kidnapped. And there I was again, back into the heist business. Once again cast as negotiator, this time I had to take the upper hand, because the Professor and Lisboa had their own part of the plan to take care of.

...

Current day - during the heist

I rested my feet onto the table of my hideout as I watched the TV intently. The news channel finally gave me important information: Rio was in Spain, finally. The poor boy took a tumble down the plane, falling on the ground in handcuffs and dirty clothes. Poor thing, I thought. Behind him, a figure emerged, a red-haired pregnant woman in a white coat and black cap. Inspectora Alicia Sierra. I found myself unable to tear my eyes from her face, as if I was in a trance: she was a very attractive woman, there's no denying that.

I wanted to remember that face while talking to her, so I was quick to reach for a pencil and paper and start reproducing her face. I glanced at the TV once in a while to get an idea of what she was like, memorising her traits as I transferred them on the paper sheet.

...

I pulled on my headphones and lined up the microphone to the side of my face, trying to calm my nerves before talking to the woman I was pining for a few hours ago. I picked up the drawing I made earlier and used it as a reference to draw her from other angles.

"Professor." A female voice spoke. Calm, collected, confident.

"Inspectora Sierra, how lovely to hear you." I replied, mirroring her tone.

"Ah, señorita Akita. I wasn't expecting you." Alicia said. "Well? Aren't you going to ask me what I'm wearing? I'd say it runs in your gang to play games like this."

"I'm assuming maternity clothes. Tell me, is it a boy or a girl?" I tantalised, running the pencil on the paper to make a rough sketch of her face.

She chuckled. "My, my, nosy girl. I didn't remember the Professor being this curious, but between you and me, sweetheart, I like you better." She clicked her tongue, presumably paired with a wink.

"Touché, preciosa," I shook my head, laughing at her attempt at flirting. "That's enough niceties for now, you can flirt with me later. Let's cut to the chase."

There was a long pause after she laughed in shock at my bluntness. I smirked, almost too proudly for my first conversation with a pregnant woman I've seen once on the TV. During the pause, I kept my eyes trained on the rough piece of paper while my wrist made a flicking motion to draw her strands of hair.

"I'm assuming your dear sister is having the time of her life. I don't think you've escaped to Germany. We could find her in a heartbeat, you know. I could barely picture it, a 17 year old girl thrust in the midst of rapists, drug users, murderers in the jails of, say, Northeast Asia? Ah, the poor thing. So young and so naive, the spat image of you, she wouldn't last a beat." She chuckled humourlessly.

"And what's your point, Inspectora? Your empathy for my little sister doesn't add up to when you tortured Rio, does it?" I didn't even bother to look up from my work as her threat was no longer valid. My little sister died of cancer last month, and the news hadn't reached Spain. That offered us a very good advantage.

She ignored my comment. "Akita, listen to me very carefully. Turn the Professor and Raquel in, and your sister remains untouched. Think about it, sweetheart. And think quickly, I am a busy woman, as you know."

"I most certainly do, señora Sierra." I said innocently, in a stupid but successful attempt to tease her.

"It's señorita now, actually." Alicia corrected.

"Good to know," I mirrored her flirty attitude from before. "On second thought, you were right, how foolish of me. What are you wearing?"

"You're impossible, Akita," she replied, laughing. "Don't get any ideas, sweetheart. I'm way out of your league."

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yeah."

I gasped in mock offense, making her laugh genuinely. "Well, am I mistaken or am I actually growing on you? I bet you wouldn't be upset about being out of my league if that was the case."

"Shut up, sweetheart." She said mischievously.

"Make me." I teased her.

Her playful scoff was interrupted silently as she suddenly hung up.

I was confused for a moment as my hand moved the pencil confidently on the paper. As I stroked the graphite onto the rough surface, my mind wandered. Alicia was flirting shamelessly with me, in front of all her colleagues, and in a recorded phone call, no less. So either she was really brave or really stupid. Maybe a mixture of both.

This woman was really mesmerising: she was incredibly intelligent, as I could tell, she was confident, sarcastic, dominant and gorgeous. She was brave for raising a child on her own, as she specified that she wasn't married.

If the circumstances were different, I'd even go after her. I wished I had met her differently, because this woman was far beyond average and just about the quickest crush I've ever gotten. She was certainly not someone you'd want to lose. I wanted to talk to her again, leaving out our positions in this makeshift war. It seemed like we were getting along perfectly, flirting with each other as if the call wasn't recorded.

I took my hand away from the drawing and looked at my finished product. I was extremely proud of it: it looked just like her, the lines were confident and creative and the shading in a cross-hatching technique was on point. I bet she'd like it, I thought. My eyes lifted from the paper as I got an idea. Maybe she would.

Aikido, my Akita Inu, looked at me quizzically and tilted his head, almost as if questioning my decision. "Who knows? Maybe this will be what wins her heart." He yawned in response. "Oh, shut up, Aikido."

...

It had been a few days since I sent the drawings to Sierra, and apparently it went over well. The next time we negotiated she asked everyone to leave the tent and didn't confront me about the drawing, but rather she got friendlier: she started to open up, telling me things about her, showing her soft side, laughing, being careless, even saying that we'd meet one day. Of course, she loved the sketch, but we were still enemies, enemies who were intensely pining for each other and instead of doing something about their attraction they played games from a phone call and flirted shamelessly. Because acting on things was the most difficult thing you could ever do in your life. It requires courage, determination, confidence, and given the circumstances, you needed double these qualities.

And I was getting brave these days. And also a little crazy.

So I started sending her a sketch every other day to tease her. One day it was a sketch of her, the next of Aikido, the next of the police tent, the next of her holding the teddy bear.

It continued like this until she sold out the Government and started working alone. First she stopped by Sergio, which ended up in the ultimate team-up as they were on their own and Raquel was finally out of custody and in the bank. Then she left the Professor alone for a while.

...

I heard a knock on my door and Aikido got up on his feet, startled. I carefully stepped closer and tried to take a peek. My eyes caught a flash of red that I'd recognise anywhere, I immediately knew that was Alicia. I quickly opened the door and she looked at me, almost fazed. After a few seconds, she smiled at me, and said, "I promised you we'd meet, one way or another." I chuckled, moved, and let her in immediately. The second hideout of the heist was none other than my own home, a detached house in the middle of nowhere that the Professor was able to get me. It suited me perfectly, there was room for me and Aikido, hell, it even had an atelier.

"Welcome to my home, Inspectora," I said as she took in her surroundings.

"You don’t have to call me that anymore. Just 'Alicia' will do, sweetheart," she replied, a smirk playing on her lips. I gazed at her sweetly, meanwhile surprised at how my attraction to her had grown from a small infatuation to a full-on crush, and realised she didn't have a baby bump anymore.

"You-you gave birth?"

"Yeah, I did. In the stormwater tank."

"That must have been... uncomfortable."

"Sweetie, I had to blow a Saint Bernard out my ass. It would have been uncomfortable even on a hospital bed."

I couldn’t help but laugh at her joke, and soon enough she joined in. "So, is it a baby boy or a baby girl?"

"Girl. I named her Victoria." She said.

"That's a lovely name." I smiled at her.

"Speaking of names," Alicia leaned back on the table and gazed at me, her tantalising green eyes twinkling with mischief. "What's your name?"

That question took me off guard, as I almost tripped over my own feet while holding a glass of water.

She chuckled at my antics. "Somebody got flustered."

I cleared my throat. "Keep telling yourself that, Alicia." I loved how her name rolled off my tongue so easily.

"So you're not answering?"

"Not for the time being, no," I clicked my tongue and winked at her, mocking her for the first time we met. "I like being called Akita."

"Like the dog?" She asked.

"Actually, like the city. But yeah, also like the dog."

As if on cue, Aikido trotted inside.

"Oh, yeah, this is Aikido." I said briefly as Alicia offered her hand for the dog to smell.

"How adorable, you even have an Akita Inu." She noticed, chuckling when Aikido rubbed himself on her legs for pets.

"Wow, he never does that with anyone," I said in surprise. "Maybe he has a good feeling about you."

"Well, I have the blessing of your dog now, so we can't go wrong, can we?" She joked, scratching his weak spot. Soon enough, she even got his leg going.

"He really must love you," I laughed. "Usually he's very cat-like, I'm surprised he's actually asking to be petted."

"Well, I tend to grow on people." She said charismatically.

"Yeah, you do." I mumbled. "Hey, why don't you get comfortable? I'll make dinner and we could watch something."

"Dinner sounds great, thanks," she sighed in relief and I led her to the couch.

"What do you feel like having?" I asked her.

"Whatever you want, sweetie. Your house, your rules." She replied.

"Okay." I hunted through my fridge, hoping to find something good. I found a few eggs, and enough stuff to make salad. "You must be tired after giving birth and running away from the police. I'll make you something to restore your energies."

"Yeah, it was quite the drama. I've barely had time to breathe," she rested her head on the back of the couch at an angle where she could look at me. "You know, you draw really well."

"Oh, thanks." I accepted the compliment.

"Where did you go to art school?" She asked.

"Madrid Academy of Art," I replied. "How did you know I went to art school?" I immediately felt stupid after asking that question.

"Well, a ton of things gave you away. First of all, your proportions in the sketch of me you sent me. Obviously, your choice of media and type of paper that go well together, and the fact that you used binder to keep the sketch's lightfastness in a quantity that was balanced as to avoid damaging it. Then the smaller things, like your posture, the way you sit, the way you hold things, your hands, your eye for observation, and of course, the unmistakable smell of paint coming from over there..." she pointed at a room on the other side of the house. "...which I assume is your atelier."

"Wow, you're good," I laughed in shock. "And yeah, that is my atelier."

Alicia hummed in satisfaction. I turned around to check on her and she was looking at me in a different way now: her pupils were dilated and she was making puppy eyes at me, batting her eyelashes while pouting. Her eyes asked the question.

"You want to see the atelier?" I asked her, surprised.

"Yeah, I'd love to," she replied.

"You have beautiful eyes," I blurted out, and immediately cringed internally. Maybe I shouldn't have said that.

I heard her get up from the couch and silently step elsewhere. Since I couldn't hear her anymore, I turned around to check on her and found her in front of me in a heartbeat, hovering over me while my back hit the counter. I swallowed thickly and tried to hide my blush, but she noticed right away. Alicia grazed my face with her fingertips, starting at my cheekbone and trailing down my jawline. Her fingers brushed my neck for a split second, sending a shiver down my spine. Then her thumb slowly traced over my bottom lip, her eyes flickering to my eyes and back to my mouth. Her intelligent eyes asked for permission to kiss me, and I gave in without thinking twice.

In a second, Alicia brushed her lips against mine tentatively, with hesitation. She checked on me to see if I was okay, and that was all she needed. Without a second thought, she crashed her lips on mine more eagerly, her hand resting on the back of my head. I cupped her cheek and kissed her back with the same amount of desire.

She pulled away and leaned her forehead on mine, sighing in content. I licked my lips and gazed back at her, clearing my throat out of embarrassment. "That was, um... that was good."

"Good." She said.

The next few minutes were quiet. I cooked while she kept her eyes trained on my every motion, as if to make sure I didn't get hurt. When dinner was ready, I prepared our plates and took her to the couch. She sat down next to me, thanking me for the food. I put my feet up on the table and she followed suit. I turned on the TV, and she looked for a movie to watch together.

"This one?"

"This one."

The evening was quiet. We ate our food, which she really appreciated, by the look on her face, and Aikido stole a couple of pieces as well. About halfway through the movie, Alicia leaned her head on my shoulder, snuggling her body into mine. I froze in place, taken off guard by the action, but honestly I kind of like it.

"Is this okay?" She asked me, noticing the look on my face.

"Of course," I smiled at her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to me. I pressed a kiss to the top of her head and felt her melt into the embrace.

"Your hug is so amazing," she sighed. "It makes me feel safe."

My heart leaped out of my chest at that. "You are safe, honey," I kissed her temple lovingly. "I promise."

Diplomáticos retornan a México tras la ruptura de relaciones con Ecuador

La inusual acción ecuatoriana desencadenó la condena de más de una veintena de gobiernos extranjeros   La delegación diplomática mexicana en Quito arribó el domingo al país luego de que el gobierno del presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador rompiera relaciones con Ecuador en rechazo a la irrupción de policías en la embajada de México para detener a un ex vicepresidente ecuatoriano que había recibido asilo político. La inusual acción ecuatoriana desencadenó la condena de más de una veintena de gobiernos extranjeros. La misión encabezada por la embajadora, Raquel Serur, llegó pasado el mediodía en un vuelo de la aerolínea Aeroméxico al aeropuerto internacional de la Ciudad de México donde fue recibida por la canciller Alicia Bárcena. Al condenar enérgicamente la acción de las fuerzas de seguridad ecuatorianas, Bárcena anunció que el lunes México acudirá ante la Corte Internacional de Justicia y otros foros multilaterales y regionales para denunciar que “fue violada flagrantemente la inmunidad de la embajada y del personal diplomático”. Compartimos con nuestros amigos mexicanos la visión de un mundo basado en el respeto al derecho internacional. https://t.co/0KspAszapJ — Embajada Alemana en México (@AlemaniaMexi) April 7, 2024 Dentro de la delegación de 18 personas, que incluye a diplomáticos y sus familiares, vino Roberto Canseco, jefe de la sección consular mexicana en Quito, quien resultó lesionado en el cuello tras enfrentar la noche del viernes a los policías cuando entraron por la fuerza a la sede diplomática para detener al ex vicepresidente Jorge Glas, que residía allí desde diciembre. Había pedido asilo tras ser acusado de cargos de corrupción, una protección que había obtenido unas horas antes. Serur también reaccionó con dureza y dijo en un breve discurso que el presidente ecuatoriano Daniel Noboa se "equivocó" al tomar una decisión que aseguró que no sólo rompe con lo establecido por las convenciones internacionales, sino que "implica el desconocimiento de la realidad de su pueblo”. “El gobierno actual del Ecuador todavía no puede dimensionar lo que le hizo a su pueblo que no merece el gobierno que tiene actualmente, un gobierno que improvisa y que desconoce el arte de la política y el buen gobierno y la trascendencia del asilo”, agregó. La embajada de México en Quito permanecerá cerrada indefinidamente y se activarán desde las sedes en Colombia y Chile los servicios consulares para mil 600 ciudadanos mexicanos y empresario radicados en Ecuador, informó la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores. La Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) recordó en un comunicado a sus miembros, que incluyen a Ecuador y México, de su obligación de “no invocar normas de derecho interno para justificar el incumplimiento de sus obligaciones internacionales”. El Ministerio de Exteriores español indicó en un comunicado el domingo que “la entrada por la fuerza en la Embajada de México en Quito supone una violación de la Convención de Viena sobre relaciones diplomáticas de 1961", posición que también fue respaldada por Josep Borrell, alto representante de la Unión Europea para Asuntos Exteriores y Política de Seguridad. El vocero del Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos, Matthew Miller, dijo que “Estados Unidos condena cualquier violación de la Convención de Viena sobre Relaciones Diplomáticas y se toma muy en serio la obligación de los países anfitriones, según el derecho internacional, de respetar la inviolabilidad de las delegaciones diplomáticas”. Pidió que los dos países resolvieran sus diferencias. Bolivia convocó a su embajadora en Ecuador para que brinde información sobre lo ocurrido, anotó el presidente Luis Arce el domingo en un mensaje de su cuenta X, antes Twitter, y reiteró que la defensa del carácter inviolable de las sedes diplomáticas es un tema de principios, al igual que “la tradición latinoamericana del asilo”. Tuve una conversación telefónica con el Presidente de México, @lopezobrador_, donde expresamos nuestra solidaridad por lo sucedido en la embajada de México en Ecuador. Le informamos que hemos convocado a nuestra embajadora de Bolivia en Ecuador para este lunes. Además, desde la… pic.twitter.com/mNEw91QF5C — Luis Alberto Arce Catacora (Lucho Arce) (@LuchoXBolivia) April 7, 2024 Los recintos diplomáticos están considerados como territorio extranjero, son “inviolables” según los tratados de Viena y las fuerzas de seguridad del país anfitrión no están autorizadas a entrar sin permiso del embajador. Personas que han buscado asilo han vivido días y hasta años en embajadas de todo el mundo, incluida la de Ecuador en Londres, que albergó al fundador de WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, durante siete años sin que la policía británica pudiera ingresar para arrestarlo. Glas fue trasladado el sábado de la oficina del fiscal general en Quito a la ciudad portuaria de Guayaquil, donde permanecerá retenido en una prisión de máxima seguridad. Gente reunida ante la fiscalía exclamaba “¡fuerza!” cuando el exfuncionario salía en un convoy de vehículos policiales y militares. La abogada de Glas, Sonia Vera, relató a la AP que los policías irrumpieron en su habitación, pusieron sus manos hacia atrás, ante lo que Glas se resistió y “lo tumbaron al piso, le patearon en la cabeza, en la columna, en las piernas, las manos” y al no poder caminar, “a rastras lo sacaron”. A la defensa no se le permitió ver a Glas mientras se encontraba en la oficina del fiscal, por lo que prepara un pedio de habeas corpus, agregó. Las autoridades investigan a Glas por supuestas irregularidades durante su manejo de las tareas de reconstrucción tras un potente sismo en 2016 que mató a cientos de personas. Ha sido condenado por sobornos y cargos de corrupción en otros casos. México listo para acudir este lunes a instancias internacionales para denunciar el asalto a su sede diplomática en Ecuador. 👇🏽 pic.twitter.com/MdvCZq95Q7 — Jesús García 🐦 (@JesusGar) April 7, 2024 La ministra ecuatoriana de Exteriores, Gabriela Sommerfeld, dijo el sábado a periodistas que la decisión de ingreso a la sede diplomática mexicana fue adoptada por el presidente de Ecuador, ante “un riesgo de fuga inminente” de Glas y tras haber agotado, según aseguró, todas las posibilidades de diálogo diplomático con México. La especialista en derecho internacional y directora del Observatorio de Derecho y Justicia, María Dolores Miño, advirtió que Ecuador deberá afrontar sanciones inmediatas de carácter político que “no se deben subestimar”. Miño advirtió que Glas podría demandar al país ante el sistema interamericano de Derechos Humanos. “El hecho que se le haya arrebatado forzosamente las protecciones de ese estatus, por más que no estemos de acuerdo con esto, es una clara violación a derechos protegidos”, acotó. Noboa se convirtió en presidente de Ecuador el año pasado mientras el país enfrentaba unas tasas de delincuencia récord vinculadas al narcotráfico. Declaró que el país está en un “conflicto armado interno” en enero y designó a 20 organizaciones de narcotráfico como grupos terroristas que el ejército tenía autorización de “neutralizar” dentro de los márgenes del derecho humanitario internacional. Las palabras de la exembajadora de México en Ecuador. En menos de un minuto lo dice todo. No merecemos el Gobierno que tenemos🤷🏻‍♂️#LosCorruptosSiempreFueronEllos pic.twitter.com/pLsPEBdHDV — Rafael Correa (@MashiRafael) April 7, 2024 Will Freeman, experto en América Latina en el Consejo de Relaciones Exteriores, un centro de estudios con sede en Estados Unidos, dijo que la decisión de enviar a la policía a la embajada mexicana plantea preocupaciones sobre las medidas que Noboa está dispuesto a tomar para ser reelegido. Su mandato termina en 2025 porque fue elegido para completar el mandato del expresidente Guillermo Lasso. “De verdad espero que Noboa no esté tomando un rumbo más como el de Bukele”, dijo Freeman en alusión al presidente de El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, cuya estrategia de mano dura contra la delincuencia ha sido muy criticada por organizaciones de derechos humanos. “Es decir, menos respetuoso con el estado de Derecho para conseguir un impulso en su popularidad antes de las elecciones”.

Raquel x Alicia - A different take on the academy AU 

“Alicia...” the words died on Raquel’s lips as she pointed the gun at her. 

This wasn’t how her first individual mission was meant to go. It wasn’t Alicia who she was meant to find at the crime scene. Before Raquel could do anything, Alicia snatched the gun off her, closing the distance between them. 

“Let’s make this our little secret,” Raquel shivered as she felt the cold metal press to her jaw.

She heard Alicia chuckle, and instead of pain, Raquel felt soft lips press to her cheek. Without saying another word, Alicia disappeared, leaving Raquel shocked, in the middle of a crime scene, now, with a completely different problem.

“That girl deserves more than a ruined reputation. You know that, don’t you?” 

At forty-two, Professor Sergio Marquina is at the height of his career as the deputy head of the Cancer Research Institute at the University of Madrid, chasing a vaccine for cancer. Twenty-six year-old Raquel Murillo is a fourth-year PhD student who transferred to the University of Madrid two years ago, and has yet to fully recover from her experiences under an abusive supervisor.

When they are assigned to lead the organisational team for an international symposium together, they discover a stronger pull to each other than either of them are comfortable with.

Alicia Sierra : In jail, love drains like sewer water. It happens very fast. In two months, it’s already dry. Two months of suffering, or your whole life in jail ? Hmm ? 

Raquel Murillo : If you were reincarnated seven times, you’d never understand the nature of our love.

sergio/raquel + being jealous

[raquel-and-sergio]

Hi, do you think too that Sierra is a close/best friend of Raquel before and they just wear off because of misunderstanding or because of Alberto when Sierra said she doesnt like him for her. Because I rewatched S4 and Sierra seems a bit soft to Raquel 🥺 And I think Sierra will now talk to Professor and ask him questions or tell him to fuck off/leave Raquel alone if he's just going to fuck her life more

Hey there anon!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I definitely think Raquel and Alicia knew each other at the academy, and were probably close enough, acquaintances definitely friends probably. They were of the few girls there, and since they were both powerful, ambitious and striving to prove themselves they probably bonded in a healthy competitive kind of manner. I love their dynamic because especially now it’s all power struggle over who’s in charge of the conversation, and that’s kinda super fucking hot.

I think Alicia was soft at times with Raquel both because she used to care about her as a friend, but alos because se is first and foremost a kinda manipulative b@tch who wants to break Raquel no matter the means.

I’m not sure what to expect of the Alicia/Professor conversation. Honestly I don’t think it is going to be about Raquel. I feel like Alicia knows the Professor isn’t all bad and was just trying to fuck with Raquel’s mind. I feel like she’s probably gonna threaten or blackmail the Professor, or keep him there etc. She’s probably not gonna turn him in to the police cause they betrayed her, so I don’t know how it’ll go! Hopefully Benjamin, or another member of the outside band will soon come to help Sergio!
