Elena Recieves some Comfort from the Red Headed Death Trap

"For Shinra's sake Reno, slow down!!"

The young blonde's fingers grasped desperately at the inside of the car; attempting to hold herself in position as the vehicle seemed to move just a few seconds ahead of her own body.

"Come on Laney, relax..."

The car span slightly as they turned a rather sharp corner; receiving a small yelp from the female who proceeded to mutter a ring of obscenities directed at the red head.

He chanced a glance over at his smaller passenger. She looked more than a little tense.

"What's wrong with you?"

Elena puffed a few strands of hair from her face and shot a dark, unforgiving glare at her fellow Turk.

"We're meant to be lying low on this mission Reno...and you're tearing down the street like a damn maniac! Kinda makes us stand out you know."

Elena couldn't think why her superior had chosen for him to come along as her partner for this particular mission; the idea of the red head 'lying low' was nothing short of madness.

Of course it wasn't just the fact that they were meant to be undercover that was bothering her; his erratic driving skills were enough to put anyone on edge.

She squeezed her eyes shut as they neared another corner; preparing herself for the late turn that the Turk was no doubt going to pull.

When she opened her eyes again they were hurtling down a long, narrow street and she couldn't hold in the sigh of relief that came with the realisation that the area seemed free from citizens.

Noticing that her skin had paled somewhat throughout the course of their journey, Reno turned to his partner; this time a smirk played on his lips and there was a cheeky glimmer within his aquamarine eyes.

"Are ya scared Laney?"

His tone alone made her shiver. He was getting enjoyment out of this, but then that was hardly a surprise.

She sighed lightly.

"I'm always scared around you Reno...trouble seems to follow you around like thievery charges follow Yuffie."

The red head chuckled proudly.

"That's what makes hanging around with me exciting!"

His hands made a swift movement upon the steering wheel as he swerved to avoid crashing into a parked car; the tyres screeching loudly as the vehicle bumping along the road at a rather unforgiving speed.

Elena raised an eyebrow sceptically.

"Life threatening more like..."

A moment passed as the red head seemed to process what she'd just said.

"You think I'm gunna get ya killed?"

Although the amusement still played heavily in his voice, his brow had furrowed and his bright gaze seemed to dim.

She appeared to ignored the question and instead choose to take a sudden interest in her knees.

Reno slowed his driving a little, as he chanced a longer glance at the female.

"You shouldn't think like that Laney, we're partners and I'm here to help you-"

She huffed dramatically and scowled out of the window; crossing her arms defensively.

"I'm not some weak girl you know! I don't need protecting!"

He let out a strained sigh of exasperation.

"Stop going all defensive woman! I just meant... I've always got your back."

The male's gaze met with Elena's for a moment and his eyes narrowed; a sense of need playing in their depths.

"You know that right?"

She considered him for a moment before slowly nodding and smiling gingerly; an awkward giggle being emitted seconds later as Reno's attention returned to the road.

"Where did that come from?"

"Huh?"

"I didn't think you were capable of saying something nice...nice and Reno are like...un-mixey things."

The red head shrugged lightly.

"Well maybe you bring out the 'good' in me."

He then flashed a knowingly teasing grin at the young female.

"And ya never know, maybe I'll have an effect on you and you'll start loosening up a little. We'll have you drinking your body weight in cheap whiskey and dancing on bar tops by the end of the week."

She huffed, but couldn't withhold the small smile that played across her pale pink lips.

Maybe this mission won't be so bad...

Her gaze broke suddenly when a loud thud sounded as the car seemed to go over a rather large speed bump.

Once the vehicle had settled, she swiftly directed her gaze to the rear view mirror; eyes widening profusely as she did so.

"I think...I think you hit something!"

Her red headed partner frowned in a tired annoyance and groaned.

"Ergh...not again..."

Elena's jaw dropped.

"What do you mean 'again'?!"
