Chapter 11 ( I think)

S.O.S

Ever since she'd arrived in Prague, her emotions had been almost overwhelming, no thanks to Garfields insessive yammering and Koris nac for gossip, so much so that her powers had caused multiple devices to short circuit, she knew what the issue was, she'd been far too open lately.

More emotional than she should be.

Slipping into a meditative position, perched in the middle of her room; well to be more pacific her and Garfields room. The company had rented them an apartment, apparently they were to be stationed in Prague for an indefinite amount of time , not that she minded in particular , she was more than a little fond of the place. They were supposed to be scouting a few areas this evening, her and gar, but before she could even begin to contemplate the anomalie that came in the form of a abnormally vibrant green teen, she had to calm her mind, fractured as it was , had been even more so as of late.

If the insane amount of, dare she say, jelousey wasn't enough then the flummoxe of emotions that has been berating at the corners of her mind the past few days had deffinatly done the job at draining her of all restraint. A little peace and quite would do her good.

Breath. In. Out. In. Out.

He wouldn't say that there was no perks to this mission, there was definitely some very big ones , but the lack of knowledge was more than a little agrivating. Lounging on the couch beside Kori; who was currently skyping with Boy wonder, twirled his phone in his hand debating about weather or not he should text Terra. Yes. No. Heaving a sigh he tossed it onto the coffee table, were he had his legs propped up on, watching it land with a soft clatter beside Kori's laptop.

"We've settled in quite nicely Richard but that is jot the reason that I have called you." Kori shot Garfield a glance , seeking for some sort of support to move forward with her words. They weren't particularly sure as to how they wanted to approach the subject but they knew something needed to be said. Sitting up he scooted closer to her, thighs touching and knee numbing as he moved into the cameras range.

" We wanted to tell you we know that you've been telling Raven and Jinx information that you have not felt privy to tell us. " He ushered the words out quickly, nerves twisting wildly in his stomach.

"Yes, we have found out about it, and we would like an explanation, please." He noticed that her voice seemed to faulter a bit as she spoke to him. He was back to pushing her away. Just like he had in the beginning. She saw it, and it seemed to frighten her.

The silence from him was almost deafening, his face a mask of steely resolve.

Garfield counted the seconds as they passed, the tension was so thick it could cut glass.

Three minutes.

Four.

Five.

Si-" You two are pushing your boundaries. Understand me when I say that the way things are set up are ment to be as efficient and safely as possible." He paused. Ran a hand over his face. Then spoke again.

" I promise that this are not my orders…directly. there is more to this than you may see, and the way things are now are ….temporary so, please do hang in for the time being. When you two get back everything will be explained. " His face flashed to an almost pained expression,before he spoke again.

" I have to end this call now, I'll be back to check in on you three tomorrow, same time."

Kori's lips parted as she prepped her self to say something, but before she could the line had ended and the screen glitches to black.

" That got us no where."

"Had you expected it to?" He quirked a brow in her direction.

" No, but I had hoped so."

He didn't really understand it. Never could. The way she seemed to just pull him in and push him away all at once. So talented. So beautifully , twistedly, talented. So when she had given him that familiar cold stare , he couldn't help but step closer even though he wanted to slam the door and walk away.

" here to annoy me so soon." He found the monotone sound of her voice eerily endearing and frustrating all at once.

"According to you it's what I do best." So quick to rise to her bait. He hated it but found himself comfortable with the steady habit of it.

"Hm yes well there's not much else is there."

Never crass but always straight to the point with her words, so swift.

" You would know, all knowing Raven, not only is she knowledgeable but also a heinous bitch." He spiraled down so quickly. He knew that. So did she.

Regret , such a familiar feeling to the both of them, both always turning quickly to the sharpest weapon they could use to attack. Their words.

The silence was heavy and not a stranger to them , standing awkwardly at the foot of the bed he shoved his hands into the pockets of his jeans, she glanced up at him for a brief moment , shifting in her spot at the center of the bed.

" Where did you want to start at?" She broke the silence, after so many arguments both had learned that sorry doesn't always make the tension go away.

"What?"

" we're supposed to scout the places today."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"…..I'm sorry, about the name calling."

" You..are not so annoying." Not quite an apology but definitely something. He'd take it over nothing.

As the silence stretched out once more she found herself trying to supreme the urge to reach out and touch him. To feel the warm thrum of heat beneath his skin. There was always this charge between them,like magnets. Pushing and pulling one another, but never colliding.

Against her better judgment she spoke.

" I…Regret my actions from back then. I hope you can forgive me. "

And just as quickly regretted it.

He tensed. His eyes never leaving her form. Fingers flexing at his sides.

" nothing to forgive. Nothing to regret. You wanted it. I wanted it. We just..didn't do it right."

His voice sounded strained, raspy even. He hadn't expected her to bring that up. He wasn't sure he was ready to disect that memory with her. He should be but he just wasnt.

His legs moved before his mind caught up. The sharp sound of the door closing behind him made his heart beat faster and his breath come in heavy ragged huffs, his hands shook with nerves as he slumped against the bathroom door.

She elicited the most pungent of responses from him. She always had, it just took him awhile to understand that.

Sorry for such a short chapter I really am.
