71. Mistletoe

Cara and John's hands bumped as they walked the headquarter's halls. The building had been decorated for the holidays. Cara found it funny that their great leader decided the office needed to be decked out for the holiday. The pair stopped just outside Cara's room. The two exchanged the usual goodbyes until something hanging caught John's eye. She followed his line of vision where her eyes met the hanging mistletoe. He let out a chuckle only to be interrupted by her lips on his. As their kiss broke she can't help but feel maybe they had been like this before.

72. Missing

Cara still felt shaken. Ever since she felt John when she had been with Stephen the other night, nothing felt right. She had tried reaching him again. Nothing but silence. What was she even expecting? He had lost his powers after all. Maybe it had just been a glitch. Maybe it was her mind playing tricks on her. She has found silence in one of Ultra's former training rooms. She liked taking her frustrations out on one of many punching bags. She was usually alone. But today her ritual was interrupted by a slightly out of breathe Stephen.

"John's missing."

85. Lonely

The rules Jedikiah had set when he partnered the two were clear. They were partners and they were to be nothing more. Their relationship was to be professional only. However Jed's rules would not stop Cara from paying John a few midnight visits. They had at been training together and her teleportation had greatly improved. She was able to jump farther then she had been when she was first brought in. Tonight was no different midnight rolled around and John wasn't surprised when the brown haired beauty appeared in his room.

"What is it?"

"Nothing in just lonely," She smirked.

21. Midnight

Tick tock went the clock the same night after night. The same story. Same time, same place. Every day when the clock struck midnight he would reach out to her. He seemed to pull her into his thoughts, thoughts that seemed to keep him up. It was like he didn't know her. And when he communicated with her she was never able to respond. She wanted to yell to him. Tell him who she is. What they had had. Every night she waits. Just for one that one moment. Midnight, the only time she's able to almost be his again.

58. Fade

Getting his powers back had been a weird experience. It was like watching his life go backwards. His memories fading quickly away. There was that friend of Stephen's her name and her face gone so fast. Then in only a breath Stephen was gone. His mind seemed to linger on Cara. Slowly letting her fade from his memories. The first time they went topside? Gone. When they finally agreed to get together? Gone. Their first kiss? Gone. When she agreed to come with him? Gone. The first time they met? Gone. It was all gone.

"John are you okay?"

"Jedikiah?"


So Mistletoe and Lonely are supposed to be Cara having been recruited (by force) and having had her memories wiped. So they're both working for Jed, and they're partners.

Anyways sorry for the lack of updates. I show cows and I've been busy with that lately. I'm actually leaving for a show in like 10 hours and I had to post something so.
