Hey:) Continuing I'll be your Hero. Read, Review Enjoy :)
P.s, No not heather Clarke for you who asked. Clarke is the man, Smith is the girl. They will probably recieve names this chapter:) Oh, and I'm attempting to make it longer with more detail so bare with me ;)
"You hurt her I sware to god Smith.." His voice trailed off. It was barly steady and you could hear the worry in his voice. Smith almost felt bad for thinking about it. But Kim could fight, Smith didn't think that Kim was going to play the 'damsel in distress' card. What was the harm with letting her come along.
"I won't. I promise." Her voice remained steady. "But promise me, the mission comes first, even if it means letting her die."
"Of course, the mission comes first."
"If you screw this up because of her I sware to god Anderson I'll kill her right infont of you.." She let out a sigh at the end backing off.
"I promise. But I will do everything in my power to keep me from having to pick." Jack said. Smith gave him a nodd a headed off down the hall to meet Kim who was already standing at the elevators. Smith lead herself and Kim into the very fancy elevator. It was quite large and all walls were glass. From Kim's point of veiw it was kind of creepy being able to see all point of few of your body. But from Smith's, it was reassuring that no one could sneek up on her.
"Not trying to be pushy.." Kim began as Smith unlocked the door to their room and the two of then walked inside. Smith looked at her with wide eyes waiting for her to continue. "I havn't eaten all day. If there somewhere I could get some food?" She smiled at the end hoping to make the situation a little less awkward. Something about Smith didn't sit right with her. It felt like she wasn't wanted. Trust her, she didn't want to be here anymore than Smith wanted her here. But was that hate so strong that she might try to hurt her to get her gone? All these thoughts raced through Kim's head as Smith simply sat there laughing. It was Kim's eyes that were wide now.
"Kim, I may be an agent but I'm still a girl" Smith retorted sarcasticly. Kim let out a smile. Wow, a real smile. Felt like she hadn't done that in hours. Oh wait, she hadn't. "Two words; Room Service" Smith had a large grin on her face which was accompanied by a large grin on Kim's. The two of them reached for the phone and began ordering food. When about 4 courses of different meals set for two were orderd they hung up the phone and began to laugh.
"How are we affording this?" Kim snickerd. She was well.. Uh, broke.
"Don't worry, the bill for this place goes right to the agency" Smith explained happily. A cuple of silent minutes went by when Kim broke it.
"So Smith..." She began uncertain. "Is there a first name I can call you by?"
"Lauren" She said extending her hand formerly introducing herself.
"So Lauren... Care to fill me in?" Lauren let out an uncertain sigh and a sarcastic smile. She had no problem filling her in but where was she to begin? Getting her thought sorted out in her head she found herself staring at Kim. She was really pretty. No wonder Jack had a thing for her. The second she looked into Jack's eyes when she interupted them on the roof, she knew they wern't killing her. So there she was, infront of her sat a helpless Kim Crawford- not by choice- confused out of her freaking face and she had to explain what was going on. So where is one to begin...
"Umm well. Were on a mission to stop a terrorist attack. I believe Jack has already told you that" Kim nodded for her to keep going "With a very well exucuted plan thought out by our agency, we're here to take him down. The plan goes down tomorrow night at a party he is thowing to celebrate his 'birthday' but we believe it's a distaction. I don't even know all the detailes yet, only Jack does. He was afraid by telling us to much he could put us in danger. But this all goes down tomorrow, knowing Jack you'll probably be locked up in a room so... Have pun with that" Lauren finished giving Kim a reassuring smile.
"Locked up!" Kim exclaimed. "Oh no, I've been through too much just for him to lock me up leaving me helplessly waiting for his return. What happend to I'm on this mission?"
"Look, talk to him about it. Personally I think it's incredibly stupid leaving you locked up in a room because your a sitting duck. Even though the name for the room is under an alias it's not that difficult for someone to connect the dots. I think you'd make a decient distraction. But his damn Hero Complex..."
"I know! Isn't it so annoying!" Kim interupted.
"It is! Has he always had that!"
"Yes! Since the first day I met him!" Their gossiping was put to a hult as Lauren got up the answer the door.
"Room service" She mutterd with a devilish grin. She thanked the mad and tiped him with the change in her pocket and brought the food to Kim who was sitting down now on the bed waiting axiously. She set the food down as the two of them dug in.
"You Idiot!" Yelled Clarke as him an Jack bust through the suites doors.
"What I do!" He screamed back innocently. He knew what he did, it was pretty obvious. He figured Smith wouldn't have a problem with it but Clarke... this guys a different story. If he was worried about anyone hurting Kim, it was him. Clarke was big and strong and intellegent. He basicly beat up and kicked to the curb every stereotype out there. He had a bad background, but Jack didn't know it. Come to think of it, no one knew it. Clarke was always one to keep to himself, the mystery to him made him even more scary and intimidating. But no matter how big he was, Jack wasn't going to let him hurt Kim.
"You know exactly what you did! What were you thinking! Shes going to ruin everything!" He yelled. His voice was deep, loud and unsettling. It boomed through the suite echoing off the walled. Jack was suprised no one has come and banged on the door yet telling them to sut up.
"Look, I know you angry.."
"Angry! I'm FURIOUS!" Jack just stared at the ground. The only thing he could do was explain, explain why.
"Have you ever met a girl that compleatly turned you inside out? That make being perfect look so damn easy? Have you ever had that girl in the palm of your hands-"
"Where are you going with this Anderson?" Clarke interupted. His voice was calmer and steady. It's working Jack. The only way he was going to make Clarke understand was through his heart.
"-And let her slip way? Over something so increadibly stupid." Jack's voice was now raising. It was obviously touching a nerve. He began pacing around the room as he continued explaining. "Have you ever had that girl? Regretting every minute you spent away from her. And regretting it even more when you were forced to leave her as you sat there and wished with all your freaking heart that you could move the clock back one week so you could of asked her to the dance?" Jack was now done pacing around the and now stod infront of Clarke. The hight difference wasn't that noticible-Clake only about two inches on Jack. He'd grown since grade 11- so he was able to look him right in the eye. "Kim was that girl for me. When I heard her crying for help tonight I couldn't walk away and let those guys do whatever the hell they were going to do to her. I couldn't. But she new who I was and I couldn't kill her... I wouldn't. It would be alot more that collateral damagel-" He was interupted by Clarke lunding at him slamming Jacks body full force into the wall behind him. He raised his arm placing it across Jacks neck cutting off his air supply.
"Quit your babling Anderson. I got it in the first senence. Yes I had one of those girls." His voice turned for harsh to symathetic. His had arm was still across Jack's neck though as he attempted to claw it off. "Unfortunatly mine died in an inccident I'd prefere not to get in to, but you got a second chance with yours..." His compasion stopped as he re-slamed Jack against the wall "But I swear Anderson if she even accidently screws anything up-"
"I know, you'll kill her right infont of me. You and Smith both" He managed to say with the little air he had in his throght. A devilish smile grew on his face as Clarke let out a laugh. He dropped Jack to the floor as he took a few steps back colapsing on the bed.
"Oh so it can laugh" Jack joked rubbing his neck helping himself up. Clarke sat up.
"Look man..."
"Not a problem. As long as your cool with Kim?"
"Its good... you didn't know it was her did you?" He questioned.
"Saw right through that huh?" Jack admitted.
"Well yes, that and your stupid Hero Complex" Clarke snickerd giving him a friendly shove.
"I do not-" Clarke shot him a look before he could finish. "Kay maybe a tiny one." Clarke let out a laugh.
"You would of been to that chicks side regarless if you hated her guts!" Jack just rolled his eyes as he sat there and listened to Clarke make fun of his 'Hero Complex'. So what if he had one? If he didn't ne never would of saved Kim...
"Room service?"Clarke asked as soon as he was done laughing.
"Please." And with that, Clarke picked up the phone a began to dial.
"So.." Lauren said breaking the silence as the two of them stuffed their face with the room service food. Neither of them actually relised how hungry they were untill they actually started eating.
"So" She mimiked.
"Can I be compleatly honest with you Kim without sounding creepy?"
"Um, maybe?"
"Whats with you and Jack?" Kim basicly did a spit take with the food she had in her mough and began coughing on the stuff she had just swallowed. Lauren ran over to her and began patting her back in an attempt to help Kim regain her breath. "You ok?" She asked concered.
"Yeah sorry just caught me off gaured." Kim said after a few minutes when she could you know, breath again.
"I can tell. So..."
"So what? Nothing is going on, went on or will go on between me and Jack."
"Mhmmm. Kim, Im an agent. Not only am I trained to fight I'm trained to read people and I know your lying. Well that and Im a girl so spill!"
"Alright alright" Kim surrenred crossing her legs, getting confy on the bed. Lauren sat there in awe waiting for her to continue. " I might of had a little, tiny MAJOR crush on him growing up." She admited. Lauren smacked her in the face with a pillow. "Ow!" She hissed.
"Shut up!" Laurend screamed excitetedly. She was now acting like a teenaged girl. Which was in all honesty, alright with Kim. Ever since she moved to New York she never had a girl friend. Ya she had her friends back home but she only talked to them when they called every once in a while. By the looks of it Lauren never really had a girl friend either. She has been in the agentcy since the young age of 14, she never had an opportunity to. Or the time for that matter. So all this girl talk was new to her.
"Yeah" Kim said sadly looking at the ground.
-Flash Back!-
"H-Hey Jack" I stutted while I tried to pull all by books out of my locker. There was just so much crap in the it was unbarable, every class this semester dicided to give me textbook, some classes two and my locker was just overflowing. It just wasn't big enough. Jack simply stod there laughing at me. That's when it happend. I tried to pull my Math book out but it got caught on something causing half of the items in my locker to come tumbling down.
"Here" He said bending over. "Let me help." The two of us quickly picked up my things, thowing them into my locker and slamming it shut before anything eles could fallt. We both stood up causing me to look into those dark brown eyes. There were so welcoming. You could just stare in them for hours without a care in the world. You could just melt in them. No wonder he had almost every girl falling all over him. He would never go out with me...
Did I just say that
Yes.
Oh alright then... Wait what?
Just admit it Kim you like him.
No!
Uh yeah you do!
...I think your right.
Well duhh Im you!
Oh shut up!
I stopped my internal battle with myself and looked away just intime for it to not seem like I was staring; which I clearly was.
"Thanks Jack" I said breaking the silence. Awaiting a responce I began bitting my lip. I did that when I was nervous.
"Anytime" He said giving that award-winning smile of his. I loved it so much. Thats why I hated seeing Jack sad, because I would miss his smile.
"Uh Kim, You dropped this." He said bending over picking up a peice of paper. I could feel my cheeks began to burn before I even realised what he was holding. What was wrong with me?
Hun you got it bad.
I thought I told you to shut up!
"Its a prom flyer.." He said quietly. I could feel my whole face beggining to burn. Not wanting him to see me blush I quickly grabbed it.
"Thanks Jack. Uh, I got to go" I said awkwardly taking off down the hall.
"Kim wait!" He called reaching out to me. I stopped and turned around. I could feel the blush fading as I hoped by face turn back to normal colour. My body was too focused on my arm which was being helf by Jacks hand. This made my stomach twist and turn. I felt like I was going to throw up. I started to bite my lip again, hard. What had come over me?
"Look... About.. uh prom.." I could tell he was nevous by the way he was studdering. A cool, self contained guy like Jack never stutterd. I took a step forward eargerly anticipating for him to continue. "Uh Kim..."
"Yeah?" I said in an attempt to keep my cool.
"Your lips bleeding." He snickerd. Apparently I had bit my lip so hard I caused it to bleed. He walked over to me and brough his hand up to my face. I just stod there as he wiped the blood off my lip. I smile crept on to my face.
"Jack Anderson to the Priciples Office please" A voice boomed over the speakers. My heart sank.
"Uh, Got to go" He said stating the obvious. "We will continue this tonight at the dojo?" I tried to contain myself but it was too late. I already knew he saw my face lit up as I said ok and he took off down the hallway. Damn priciple. With that I headed off to class, not knowing that Jack and I never would get the chance to finish that conversation.
-End of Flash Back.-
"Oh" was all Lauren had to say as Kim explained her flash back. She trusted Lauren now. Apparently alot had happend in two hours because that was a story that no one eles knew except for herself and Jack. If he even rememberd. She guess it was just in the moment.
"But your consience was right Hun, you had it bad." She said laughing. Kim retorted with a smack in the face by a pillow. "But he was deffinitly going to ask you. I may not know Jack that well personanly, but again, I'm an agent. I'm trained to read people and Jacks very easy to read. Kim, he really cares about you. He would of rescued anyone from attemptive rape yes. Him and his stupid Hero Complex... point being, that doesn't mean he would of stuck around. Or let you live... He's not a bad guy but part of this job is doing things you don't want to do including eliminating the witnesses." Kim looked at the ground. Knowing that if she hadn't pulled down his mask this wouldn't of happend. "But Kim, he took you with him. By doing so he defied the agencys word; the people who he is most loyal to. So that tells you something right there." Not expecting her to respond she changed the subject. "Lets get to bed. Busy day tomorrow" She stood up and walked to her bad chucking a t-shirt and a pair of shorts at Kims head. They were roughtly the same size. Kim picked up the shirt examining it.
"Is this Jack's?" She asked confused.
"Yep I stole it from his bag." She responed with a grin.
"Why?"
"Eh, gave you something to sleep it" Lauren said giving her a wink. Kim just rolled her eyes. The two of them got changed then hopped into bed. Yep... long day ahead of them tomorrow.
