I do not own Tron or any of the characters. Please review and thanks for reading!
Leaning her head back against the couch, Ava felt her head spin. Every time she opened her eyes the world flew around in bright blurs of color, the outlines of other programs barely registered. She brought one of her hands up to cover her eyes and sighed. CLU was coming, Castor had ratted her out, again. She had just intended to have one drink, ease some of the stress off. That plan had utterly backfired. Five drinks later she had decided it would be a good idea to get everyone dancing, that led to at least 4 more drinks.
She heard the murmurs of his arrival before he had even entered. She took a deep breath to try and prepare herself, you know try to shake off her drunkenness. Upon opening her eyes she saw Rinzler crossing the room towards her. He was followed by none other than CLU himself. She shook her head trying to clear her vision some and tried to stand. Ava cursed under her breath as she had almost stood up, without falling over, before she was shoved back onto the couch.
"Sit" Rinzler had let CLU past him, blocking off the staircase to where she had chosen to plop herself down. She looked over as CLU took a seat next to her.
"I see we managed to have some fun tonight" He looked to her, eyes blazing.
"I just, I was, I lost track of time" she managed out without too much slurring.
"I'm sure you did Ava" He leaned his elbows on his knees and shook his head. She looked down at her feet and took a steadying breath. "I'm sorry CLU, I really am"
He abruptly stood and pulled her up by her arm. "Time to go Ava" She winced at how hard he had grabbed her but wasted no time in standing. He shoved her at Rinzler and headed for the door. Castor stood at the end of his path and quickly side stepped him motioning for people to carry on. She felt some comfort in the fact that Rinzler was now in charge of getting her home, he was always nicer than CLU.
She was led up to CLU's chamber and left outside the door. Jarvis stood there trying to hide the fact that he found this funny, failing miserably. She rolled her eyes and looked up at the ceiling, when was she going to stop pissing him off. It wasn't like she intentionally tried for it or anything; in fact she wanted the complete opposite. She was pulled out of her thoughts by his door hissing open.
"Are you coming in or are you just going to stand there?" CLU had his back to her, staring out the huge bay window that covered one wall of his room. She stepped in, the door shutting behind her, and walked over to throw herself on the couch.
"I figured I was the last thing you wanted to see right now" She ran a hand through her curls and closed her eyes. "I don't even know what got into me."
CLU had turned to look at her, running his eyes over her. "Don't let it happen again." He strode past her to a console on the wall and summoned a bed. "Get some rest; you won't be useful to me in this state"
She slumped down in defeat, another night alone. She guessed she deserved it this time. She picked herself up off the couch as he walked out, locking her in for the night. She threw herself on the bed and screamed into the mattress. She hated feeling like a child instead of his partner.
