A/N: Hello again everyone. I had some free time so I was able to update this story rather quickly. Don't get used to it, although I will try hard to update as often as I can. Anyway thanks to the people that reviewed! I really appreciate it. Oh, and let me know if you guys like long chapters, because I can make them shorter if thats preferred. So once again please review and enjoy!

Mindy got off of Dave and extended her hand out to him. Dave accepted and she helped him up.

"I have to say, you've gotten better." Mindy said, smile still on her face.

"Shit, Mindy, why would you pretend to be a burglar? You know I was actually trying to beat the shit outta you." Dave gave Mindy a serious look. Partly because he was seriously wondering why she thought that was a good idea, the other part because he still couldn't believe Mindy was back and standing right in front of him.

"Oh, come on Dave, it's not like I would have let you." Mindy retorted at Dave's comment.

Dave couldn't help but smile. Dave looked Mindy over and noticed she was taller. Her facial features filled her face better and her blond hair framed it nicely. She was just as fit, but her body had some curves now. It was only a few seconds back into their reunion and it seemed like not much had changed, other then her physical appearance. She could still kick Dave's ass, she still had those snide comebacks, although she hadn't used profanity yet.

"Hey, do you have something to eat in this place? I'm fucking starving." Mindy said as she walked out of Dave's room and headed towards the kitchen.

There it was. Dave thought to himself. A smile plastered on his face.

Dave followed Mindy into the kitchen. Mindy was already busy raiding Dave's and Marty's cabinets.

"I don't really have anything ready to eat." Dave said as he walked up to the fridge wondering if he had something he could pass off as food. "But I can cook you something if you want?" Dave asked, still searching through his fridge.

"Since when do you cook?" Mindy asked bewildered.

Dave moved away from the fridge to look at Mindy. Mindy was already staring at him, as though Dave had said something absurd.

"Since, forever." Dave said, eyeing Mindy, not sure if she was messing with him. "I can heat up some awesome day-old pizza." Dave said smiling.

Mindy smiled. "Alright then chef Lizewski, heat up some of that awesome pizza. "

Dave smiled back. "Okay, I'll feed you some pizza. But in return, you have to tell me where you've been for the past three years, deal?" Dave looked at Mindy hoping she was hungry enough to accept his offer. He's wanted to ask her that since the moment he threw off her hood.

Mindy paused for a second and stared at Dave, before saying "Do you really want to know?"

"Why else would I ask? We're friends. That's what friends do. Talk about shit and stuff." Dave said waiting for Mindy's response.

The three years Mindy was in hiding was definitely a hard time for her. She was alone, more than ever at that time. No one to talk to, she couldn't make friends even if she wanted to. She was in hiding after all; she wouldn't risk using her fake alias like that. No, it was better if she wasn't noticed by anyone. So the first thing she wanted to do when she came back was to visit Dave. Marcus was not an option at the moment, too risky.

Mindy stared at Dave. "Your such a pussy… " She smiled. "Alright then, feed me pizza and I'll tell you what you want to know." Mindy was glad she could talk to Dave again.

"Deal." Dave smiled back. "So, I've been wondering, how did you find out where I live?" Dave asked as he grabbed the pizza from the fridge.

"It wasn't hard. Pretty easy actually." Mindy told Dave as he was preheating the oven.

"Okay then, if it was that easy, tell me how you did it."

"Your Facebook, dumbass. You have where you work listed on there. So I hacked Atomic Comics and found out where you lived. Easy." Mindy said nonchalantly.

"Shit. I completely forgot about that. I should just delete that thing. Causes nothing but problems."

"Maybe you should." Mindy said as she walked around the counter to sit on a stool.

"I don't want to be a buzz kill or anything but…Why did you come back?" Dave gave Mindy a solemn look.

Mindy paused for a second before saying "I came back for you…" returning Dave's look.

"I'm being serious, Mindy. I mean, you've been gone three years. I know you didn't come back because of me. So what is it?" Although Dave wouldn't admit it to himself, he was hoping that she had come back because of him. But he knew that wasn't going to be the case.

Mindy sighed, looked around then back to Dave. "Ralph D'Amico is getting released from prison."

"Who?" Dave confusingly asked.

"Ralph D'Amico. He's Frank D'Amico's brother and Chris D'Amico's uncle."

"Okay, so what?" Dave still not comprehending what Mindy was trying to hint at.

"Jesus fucking christ, Dave, do I need to spell it out for you?" Mindy said bewildered by Dave's inability to put two and two together. "Ralph D'Amico has been running the family business ever since you fucking blew up Frank D'Amico. And word on the street is, after Chris almost died, he's been wanting Kick-Ass and Hit-Girls head on a stake." Mindy said hoping Dave understood the situation now.

"But it's been three years since then and I've never been attacked, threatened or even followed. Hell, the closest thing to having a hit-man on me was you waiting for me today."

"That's because he's waiting until he gets released… He's pissed Dave. We've made his family look like a bunch of dumb-pricks. And now he wants to personally get payback on the people who did it."

"Fuck…How do you know all this?" Dave asked hoping she was just making it all up to mess with him.

"Dave, if there's one thing you should know by now, is that I have ways of getting information. All you should be worried about is watching your back from now on." Mindy said giving Dave a stern look.

"So when does he get out?" Dave asked giving Mindy a concerned look.

"Monday."

"In two days, huh…"

"Yup…See, I wasn't lying."

"About what?" Dave was no longer looking at Mindy, but turned his attention to the pizza cooking in the oven.

"I had left the city. No way Ralph D'Amico could have found me. But I came back, back because of you, Dave. Like you said, we're friends." Mindy said staring at Dave.

Dave turned to look at Mindy. She was just staring at him. Dave gave Mindy a smile. "Well on the bright side, the pizza is almost done."

"Well I guess you can start asking me some questions then." Mindy said giving a smile back to Dave, trying to lighten up the mood again.

"Alright, so where were you?" Dave anxiously asked.

"I went to Georgia first. Spent some time there. I went to Chicago after. I then went to San Francisco. Then finally I was in Columbus, Ohio, before I came back."

"Pretty big cities, I thought for sure you would have stayed at some small town, with like 20 people or something."

"No. The idea was to stay somewhere populated, that way I didn't stick out."

"I guess it worked. So were you by yourself the whole time…or did you meet…you know…people?" Dave asked awkwardly.

"I was by myself the entire time. I mean, I couldn't completely avoid people." Mindy looked at Dave and noticed he had a weird look on his face. Like he was waiting for her to say something else.

"So it was just you, no one else then." Dave said still awkwardly staring at Mindy.

Mindy wasn't sure what Dave was trying to get at. She just thought his face was looking rather stupid. Then it struck her.

"Dave, are you asking if I had a boyfriend?" Mindy asked amused at Dave's reaction.

Dave jolted backwards. "What?! No! I-I was just wondering if you had made some friends or something." Dave didn't know why he stammering, or even sure why he cared so much. Or even why he wanted to know, but he did.

"Shit, I thought these were the kinds of conversations I would have had with Marcus, not you." Mindy said laughing, enjoying picking on Dave.

"Alright, lets just drop it. Pretend I didn't ask anything." Dave was now embarrassed and had nowhere to hide.

"What, you don't want to ask anymore questions?" Mindy couldn't help herself; she's never seen Dave squirm so much.

Dave ignored her smart-ass question and took out the pizza. He caught up some slices and gave one to Mindy on a plate.

"We're even now." Dave said hoping she would stop teasing him.

"Alright, no more questions." Mindy said smiling at Dave, giving him one last poke.

The two sat down to eat their very late dinner. Dave tried to avoid eye contact with Mindy while they ate, still feeling embarrassed. Then Dave realized Mindy hadn't answered his question. Did she have a boyfriend? Why did it bother Dave not knowing? Not like he felt that way towards her. Did he? At that thought Dave glanced at Mindy. Mindy noticed and looked at him.

"I don't have a boyfriend." Mindy told Dave.

As if she was reading Dave's mind. It took him by surprise.

"Alright." Dave said trying to play it cool and hide his smile. But Mindy noticed and smiled too.
