A Probationary Romance
She'd just been released from prison. He was assigned to be her parole officer. Apparently, time in prison undid the effects of the helmet. So, here he was, in her lair, making sure she didn't do anything illegal.
"I'm positive you're going to try to kill me, so let me warn you right now, if you even attempt anything illegal, the police are only one call away."
"That's not going to stop me. Could I at least have gotten a better parole officer?"
"I don't want to be here either. I could be visiting my girlfriend right now."
"Girlfriend? What girlfriend?" She seemed curious, and angry.
"Her name's Jessie. She's nice and smart. I'd introduce you but I think you'd kill each other, and I have a policy against mixing business and personal lives."
"You left out the fact that I'm a criminal."
"I thought that was implied."
"I don't suppose you could leave anytime soon?"
"I would love to," She looked a little hopeful at that, "but I can't." Any hope she had of being alone died. And then a thought occurred to her.
"Wait, if you can't leave me alone, does that mean you have to live here? I'm sure that's not how it works in most legal systems."
"Most legal systems don't deal with people who can turn a cell phone into a laser. I can leave you alone for some situations."
"So how long does this have to last?"
"They say a year, at least. Now could you please show me to my room?"
"I only have one bedroom here."
"So, where am I supposed to sleep?"
"I have a couch."
"Ugh, fine, whatever."
And with that, he fell asleep on the couch. However, it was not very peaceful. He kept worrying that she would kill him in his sleep.
Author's Note: This will be a romance. However, I'm not going to play on their romance too much in the earliest chapters. Maybe by chapter 4 I'll have them acting on it more. Oh, and there won't be anything in here that's rated M. Sorry, if I can't read it I shouldn't type it.
