I sit up. Slightly out of breath, my hot damp skin heaving. My bare chest refelecting the dim light of Locus's room. He groans lightly beside me. His state worse than mine.
"Fucks sake. You're going to destroy my cock." He grumbles sitting up as well. I smirk.
"I thought you said you could handle me." I feel a hot hand close over top my shut fist that was pushed into the bed. I glance at it an look up and Locus who is inches away from my face. His baby blue eyes piercing my soul.
"I can. And am happy too." I make a face as I go to question his statement when he tilted his head and pressed his lips to mine. Softly. Tenderly. A change. Considering there was nothing soft or tender about him.
A moment later he was pulling me back into the bed with him. And he- pulls me into spoon with him?
... Locus never cuddled after sex. I make a face and quirk an eyebrow at him, but within moments he was snoring softly.
Whatever. I too was tired, and not really in the mood to question it.
Maybe hes just sick.

"Tiger lady! You're so silly!" Megan's little daughter chirped happily from my shoulders. Her small little frame clung to my head, her legs around my neck as I stomped around an pretended to be a monster.
Her brother was wrapped around my foot. Like a living boot. He giggle and slammed his tiny hands into my calf with glee.
"Silly?! Never! Raawwerr!" I reach up and start tickling her sides. she screams with laughter and starts pulling on my face. I had superb balance and could never be knocked over by such a simple action. But I let myself 'fall' backwards onto the couch fake dying as I did. my foot with the little boy attached rose into the air, the two kids laughing wildly.
" What in tarnation?"
I look up, Sirus is wearing a white cowboy hat an striking a pose.
"Daddy!" The children squeal and run towards him. He squats and embraces his two children. Felix beside his snatches the hat off his head and places it on his own. Making the cutest face of indignation as he did so.
I let out a laughing sigh and lean up on the couch looking at Felix who sits next to me.
"What's with the hat?" I ask amused. He makes a face and adjusts it lightly. "What's wrong with my hat?! Everyone keeps picking on it." I tilt my head. "It looks a little out of place on you is all I'm saying.
He starts chuckling deeply. "Funny. Considering I'm a country boy. "
I punch him laughing. "no you are not. " he rolls his eyes and plops it on my head.
The brim falls over my eyes and I have to reach up an adjust it back onto my head. "You're right. I'm not, but I was raised as one."
I cock an eyebrow. "Really?"
He looks at me with a faraway look an smiles. It reaches his eyes, and he looks like he's in total bliss. "You look, absolutely adorable in that hat." he brings his hand up slowly like he was going to stroke his hand over my cheek but stops midway and shakes his head. Almost as though he was waking up from a daze.
I open my mouth to question it but Mason starts talking and completely wipes the incident from my mind.
"So hey. Sam just texted, Turns out a high value target, some kind of arsonist is in town. He's got a Bounty of a quarter million. We gonna tag em?"
I look to Felix whos got his cell up taking a picture of me. He snickers and speaks. "Yeah definitely. What kind of arson is this guy wanted for?"
I turn to Si, who scrolling through his phone, reading.
"Jesus. He Blew up a couple banks, killed over 80 people. Um he also- oh god. He targeted his ex wife's sons school and blew it up. Killed almost two hundred kids. This guy is going down."
I look at the kids by Sirus's feet. The little girl too young to realize what the words meant. The boy had a look on his face like he sortof understood but was still unsure.
This was personal for him now.
I stand an put a hand on His shoulder. "We're gonna take him down."

-picture message-
-open
My eyes focus in in the Picture. It was me, from earlier. A blank, yet pleasant look on my face. The giant hat resting on my head.
I made a face at the picture. The angle had completely missed every scar on my face.
I gingerly brush my finger across the image. Remembering what I looked like before the scars. Tears welled up in my eyes lightly as I rolled over and set my phone down on my beside table about to sleep when my door cracked open. I turn and look.
Locus was standing there in only boxers.
"Hey Lo." I mumbled.
He doesn't respond. A fee seconds later his lips were pressed to my neck and his hands were pushing against my shoulders.
Oh. I guess I'm not going to bed then.

(Three weeks later)
I laid back into the concrete slab over turned by a small frag grenade. Panting in my armor. Bullets flew past my barricade. An explosion wracked the ground a few yards away from me.
To recap. The arsonist actually was, the arosonists. There was about 20 of them. And we arrested one, thinking that was that. but now the others were pissed and decided to bomb the city.
So sirus and Megan left. We all agreed they needed to get her and the kids out of the city. Right now, since I was the fire proof one I was elected to run into the burning buildings and try an rescue any civilians.
There weren't any.
I was separated from Felix an Locus. I had no idea where they were, what they were doing, or even if they were alive. I'd lost the standard helmet about an hour ago.
I'm really bad at keeping up with those.
I take a breath an swing myself over the concrete. I spot to arsonists about twenty feet away one had a flame thrower. The other was arming a bomb.
They were easily recognized, they all wore the same bright lime green armor.
I started running in their direction. The one with the flame thrower spotted me and turns. Kicking it up and blasting hot flames in my direction. I keep up my pace, to his horror and walk directly into the torrent of flames. As I get closer I can hear him screaming in fear to his comrade. I suddenly dart my hand out and grab the nozzle to the gun. The flames being extinguished with my flesh. Before the man knew what happened I had taken the gun and smashed it into this visor. He screams as the flames finally unhindered rush into his shattered helmet.
Let me ask you something. Have you ever heard, a roaring fire. its not called a roaring fire without reason. Now couple that with the cracking and snapping of metal and Kevlar. And finally throw in the tormented screams of a man being burned alive.
That is the orchestra of which I was graced.
I turn seeing the second one who'd been arming the bomb standing gun poised to shoot. I kick it away boredly and unload a full clip from my BR into his chest.
I look at the bomb.
Shit.
Its countdown timer was on and ticking away. 7 minutes.
I kneel and try pressing a few buttons that look promising. But with a beep I look up an see the timer has retracted to 5 minutes.
"FUCK!"
I turn and take off running.
I see all around me other arnonists. In the almost exact same positions as the ones I'd taken out. One standing guard with a flame thrower, the other knelt by a bomb. Along with other bombs, empty of terrorists scattered around.
This whole city was gonna go up.
I look and way far in from of me I spot Felix. Fighting with three of the lime colored Fucks.
I look for any immediate advantages and spot an ATM machine.
A stupid plan coming to mind I run up and grab the sides.
With a groaning metal screech I slowly rip it out of its place.

Felix
I'd been running fast. The moment i saw the size of the first bomb I knew. it'd take out half the city. When I saw the others, I knew there'd be nothing left but a crater.
I'd been running when I'd flat out ran into five big arsonists.
After a few shots, there were only three. But I was running short fast. I'd used up a bunch if ammo fast before these guys and now I was just fighting a fist fight with fire.
My armor was getting hot. I didnt know how much longer I could last when suddenly a large white object came crashing in from my Left. all three guys were crushed and thrown by it.
A trail of green dollar bills blowing lazily to the ground in its wake. Suddenly a hand closes around my wrist. As I go to turn and punch them I realize who it was.
Alexis, standing there out of breath. "Felix we gotta go, they're gonna take out the whole city!"
"I know! Let's get outta here!" I shout as sirens start wailing all around the city.
We both start running. I notice she's ahead of me, as though she could go much faster but was waiting on me.
"Cali, leave me! Go I'll be fine." I shout.
She turns. "Dont be a fucking idiot Isaac." her eyes narrowed. Those bottomless blue eyes darting around looking for danger before zeroing back onto me. "No one is leaving anyone."
Suddenly far off we hear a dulled boom. A bomb on the other side of the city just ticked away.
A moment later we were both swept off our feet. I slam hard into the ground as the after shock roared past. Cali in a similar state as I was.
She's up before me however and leaning down to lift me up as well.
"Wait!" I shout. Noticing a set of bikes parked a little ways down the road. I point.
Her eyes follow my finger. I notice a small smirk grow on her face.
.
.

California.
We're racing through the city. Two minutes left before all the other bombs went off. An it wouldn't be just after shock that knocked us down. Felix was taking point. Him more experienced with driving, and this city.
He suddenly veered off to the side And started making his way to a large tunnel. I follow, not entirely sure what he was planning but deciding to trust him anyway.
As we zip through the dark tunnels. Only the headlights of the bikes to guide us. The concrete starts shaking. "What kind of tunnels are these Felix?" I shout above the shaking and the bikes rumble.
"Old Overfill pipes for the dam!"
"Oh!" -"Wait, A DAM?!" I screech in horror.
Suddenly a loud boom surrounds us and fire fills the other side of the tunnel. "SON OF A BITCH!"
We both hit the gas as hard as we can. Racing against the fire. When I see the end of the tunnel approaching. Felix goes over first.
I look down and see about 80 yards below a massive amount of water.
I'm going to die.
I feel the bike leave my grasp as I start free falling.
My eyes drift shut.
When-
*crash*
"FUCK!"
I tumble in on a hard surface. Looking down I see I'm on a boat. Felix beside me. Above fire shoots out of the tunnel like a giant flamethrower. and in the far distance the city was masked in black smoke.
Panting I look over at Felix who's eyes were still up in awe an fear of what we'd just done.
Then those green caverns lowered to mine.
And before anyone knew what was happening, our lips were entangled in each others in a hot passionate kiss.
It was kindof a blast.
