Cloud awoke with Lightnings arm around his naked waist. Her face was nuzzled into his back. He reached into the covers to scratch his leg, halfway down his leg he stopped moving. Cloud didn't feel any underwear on.
'Damn, I forgot I had sex with Lightning. She's my first.' thought Cloud. He slid off the bed, covering the rest of Lightnings unclothed body. He looked out the window to see rain pelting against it. Cloud looked in a stand up cupboard and brought out a towel, wrapping it around his waist, covering his manhood. He picked up the set of clothes Toshiko had left for them. There was a cotton shirt which zipped up the middle, a black pauldron with a sleeve attached and a pair of black combats and a small cape like peice of fabric. Cloud strided through the hallway into the bathroom. He turned the knob on the shower and the hot, steaming water shot out onto the shower-floor. He let the towel drop onto the floor and stepped into the stream of water. He sighed as the hot water splashed off his body, droplets running over his 6-pack. A light knock at the door broke Clouds' focus on the hot water. He picked up his towel and wrapped it loosely over his waist, opened the door a crack to see Lightning standing there, with a towel around her.
"I'll be two more minutes," whispered Cloud.
"Okay," smiled Lightning, walking back into the room. Cloud slowly closed the door and entered the shower again. This time it didn't have the relaxing abilities it had a few minutes ago. He quickly washed his hair and body, dried himself off and got changed. Standing there in his new outfit. He picked up his wet towel and tossed it into the wash basket beside the door.
Lightning picked up her new set of clothes from the bed with one hand, the other one keeping the towel tied. She had a black shirt and a pair of blue denims and a black leather jacket. She knocked lightly on the bathroom door. No response. She opened the door slowly and turned the knob on the shower, repeating the process Cloud done a few moments before her. About 20 minutes later, washed and dried, Lightning stepped out into the hall fully clothed. She put her towel in the washbasket and headed downstairs. Walking into the living room she saw Owen and Cloud talking over a table of guns and knives.
"Hey," said Lightning softly, blushing at the sight of Cloud. Cloud blushed in repsonse to Lightning. Owen stiflled a laugh as Lightning sat down beside Cloud, not making eye contact with him.
"Right, lovebirds, here I have a new arsenal of weapons. Due to you two losing most of them," said Owen, displaying in his hands a new fully automatic handgun, "they call this the Matilda, hold the trigger and it shoots a 3-round burst, ammo guzzuler? Yes, low power? No." Cloud picked up a normal Glock handgun and holstered it in the holster under the cape on his left leg. Lightning picked up a pair of holsters and tied them onto both her thighs for quick equipping. She holstered two Browning HP's.
"Cloud, Ianto made this for you," Owen said, motioning him to go over to the cabinet of weaponry. Inside sat a gleaming, stainless, markless silver sword. "He called this the Fusion Blade."
Cloud took the handle of the weapon and the weight was less than the Buster Sword, which he'd unfortunately lost during his fight with Zack, who's body was laying in a statis tube in the cellar. Owen motioned Lightning to go beside Cloud, as beside his Fusion Sword was a blood red, darkness black Omega Gunblade. Lightning picked it up and it was much lighter than Serah's gunblade. She flipped the gunblade into sword form and the blade glistened in the light. Lightning touched the blade and felt the sharpness against her finger. It's weird design showing a major difference from Serahs' blade.
"You two, the plan remains the same." reminded Owen. Cloud slid the sword into the holster pads on his back. Lightning clipped on her gunblade holster, which still had the Energy Gun attached to it. She slid her gunblade into the opening and clipped it in place. Owen stood up and walked through to the garage.
Cloud followed behind Lightning, wondering what new veichle Owen had ready for them. Owen opened the garage door and inside sat a motorbike, similar to the one he'd lost but with attached machine guns and a nitro booster. Beside it sat a large armoured buggy, attached onto it was a rocket launcher, machine guns and a small but powerful laser. Owen handed over the keys to the buggy to Lightning, who leapt into the car as soon as she recieved the keys. Cloud heaved his body onto the bike, placing his new sword into the slot readily made for it on the bike. Owen opened the garage door and the pair sped out, into the darkness and the heavy rain.
