"It's the kind of kiss that inspires stars to climb into the sky and light up the world."
― Tahereh Mafi, Ignite Me

Lena gulped, even if her way too logical and smart brain complained about the mere existence of mythological creatures, there still was a very real werewolf confirming her doubts, and collapsing every fundament her mind came up with to contradict their existence, so yes, of course Lena gulped. It's not that the confirmation had upset her, Lena was sure that if this information had been delivered to her at the age of eight, she would probably had been the happiest little girl on earth, after all, if werewolves were real, perhaps fairies were too, and little Lena was a sucker for fairies. But being delivered now, after years and years of Lillian forging her into a logical being, erasing any notion of illusion, well… this knowledge now, felt completely and absolutely senseless.

But still, the scientist in her made her curios and obliged her to continue digging. The wolf was still sat besides her waiting patiently for Lena to recover, at least that's what she believed the wolf was doing. She took one more minute to calm herself, her mind going wild with questions about this creature. She cleared her throat before talking again.

"Sorry about that, I'm just trying to process. Can I ask you some questions?" – Another nod came from the creature. Lena felt off calling him "creature", it didn't sound right now that she knew she was actually talking with a human being. "How can I call you?" – She asked, the wolf tilted his head to one side – "I just had to check, you are a freaking werewolf, you might as well being able to talk, I'm glad you don't though, the fact that you're a werewolf it's disturbing enough". Lately, she found herself rambling non-stop, gone was her cool composure and sharp use of words.

Kara was fascinated by the brunette, she loved her confident and strong side, but seeing her without that façade was beautiful and priceless, she was sure not a lot of people were able to appreciate this part of her. She knew part of the brunette's behavior was due to their connection, Jonn had told her, that when a werewolf meets his mate they would share everything, even their personalities would impact on the other, especially when the bond was new, they would be able to control it eventually once they acknowledged the connection between them. But even so, she knew, this right here was the real Lena, she was hard like rock and sharp like a blade on the outside, but on the inside she was soft like silk and bright like the sun, and Kara loved every part of her.

"Okey, let's do yes or no question then…" – Lena took her left hand to her chin, her right arm supporting her left elbow. "I really thought this was going to be easier, okay… I know a few things from my brother's research so I'm going to ask you the things I didn't find on his journals".

Kara was aware about Lex Luthor investigation, Winn had told her about him and how close he was to find out the truth about them, luckily, he went kind of insane and his researched was never share with the world. But Kara knew Lena was different from her brother, she was a brilliant, kind-hearted, beautiful soul, and she wanted to share every part of her, so she waited for Lena's questions.

"Okey, you can only be turned if you're bitten by another werewolf?" – The wolf nodded once. "So, if you scratch me, I wouldn't turn? – This time the wolf shook his head. Lena took mental notes after every answer. "Can you shape shift whenever you want?" – Another nod. This was mention in one of the journals, but it was worth getting the confirmation directly from the source. She had also read about how their change was apparently also linked to their emotions. Her brother had experimented with this notion, Lena's stomach twisted with every sentence, with every meticulous detail about how he broke his victims, emotionally and physically, at one point she stopped reading all together, the thought of Lex committing such atrocities becoming too much to bear. She cleared her thoughts and continued – "This question might sound bad coming from me, therefore I think I should introduce myself before I ask. My name is Lena Luthor, perhaps you already knew that as you probably know my brother. If you don't know me, then let me tell you I'm nothing like my brother and you are completely safe with me, if you don't want to answer it then that's okey".

The blonde's anxiety rose without measure, what was Lena going to ask? Probably something personal, something about her identity… she tried to calm herself with the notion that the brunette would never hurt her in any way, she trusted her.

"In my brother's journals there is nothing about how to kill werewolves, don't get me wrong, I'm not asking to know a way to end your life, I would never, but I'm almost certain that the people he killed was or was related to your species, but I'm not sure if you're even able to be killed" – She saw something reflected in the wolf eyes, probably the subject made him uncomfortable – "I mean, all my scientific background tells me there is, but I'm in the middle of a park, at midnight talking with a werewolf, so..."- she ended trying to lighten up the mood. The white wolf seemed to relax at this and nodded. "Okey, I was right then, the people he killed…" – she frowned and shook her head – "I'm sorry this got gloomier than expected". Kara could feel the uneasiness coming from the brunette, she tried to soothe by rubbing her head against the woman.

"You're sweet…" – the CEO stated with a warm smiled. Kara knew that if she could blush in her wolf form, she would be completely flustered, the brunette had that power over her. "I'm sorry to point this out but is getting really late, I should go" – the brunette said with disappointment after checking the time on her watch, she took some steps but before she was gone she had one more question – "Will I see you again?" – The wolf nodded once more.

[…]

She was in her bed, her thoughts full with the events of the night, when her phone's screen illuminated indicating she had a new text. The first thought was that it might be Jess, probably a new emergency in LCORP that would deprive her from a good night sleep. She was in awe when she saw the name Kara Danvers displayed on the white screen. Her insides churned with anticipation, maybe the blonde was cancelling their date, probably after realizing the mess she was getting into by dating a Luthor. Date… the word brought butterflies to her stomach. She took the phone to read the message anyway, because the fact of not seeing what Kara had written was even worse than any potential rejection. Before she could unlock the device, the screen illuminated once more with yet, another text from the blonde.

Kara Danvers: Lena! Hi! I'm so sorry I didn't text you before, I had kind of a rough day. I was just confirming if you're still up for our date tomorrow?

By the time the brunette read the second text there was a little smile on her face, her lips slowly curving upwards.

Kara Danvers: oh my God! I didn't watch the time, hope you've silenced your phone! If not sorry to wake you… I'm gonna stop texting now, I'll be waiting for your reply! Xo

Lena could almost swear that she was able to feel Kara's nervousness after sending the text, but then again, it might as well be her owns. From the first moment there were no doubts, she had to get to know the woman, she felt compelled to do it. Since that moment her nerves and emotions were all over the place. As a Luthor, she lived her life avoiding any type of commitment, that being the main reason why she broke her relationship with Andrea and much later, her engagement with Jack. Lena wasn't the "and they lived happily ever after" kind of girl. She was a business woman, with tones of project to be fulfilled, she didn't have the time, nor the patience to do long term relationships. But, as her eyes were set on a certain blonde, and her entire world crumbled below her feet, she knew this person would be her doom, the one to erase every fundament she could ever have, the one and only exception to her "no long-term relationships" rule. Before she knew it, she was sending a reply.

Lena Luthor: Kara, Hi! It's okey, I was up, I had a rough day myself. I'm actually looking forward to our date tomorrow, I know a place, I'll send you the address and time tomorrow if that's okey?

She kept looking at her phone, eager for a reply from the photographer. Maybe I could take a picture of you sometime to show you how I see you, the blonde had said during the exhibition. The memory of that moment, the intensity of those blue eyes and the smug look on her face, made her wonder how it would be to have Kara taking pictures of her. Just the thought of the lens of the camera on her, while the blonde tries to capture her essence in a shot, made her feel warm, almost aroused. She was startled when the phone's screen came to life once more.

Kara Danvers: Yeah, sure! I can't wait! See you tomorrow, sweet dreams! Xoxo

With the text came a picture, almost as if she was teasing her about her previous thoughts, the picture showed Kara with her phone in front of a large mirror, dressed only with a dotted short or boxers and a blue tank top, her strong biceps on display. Sweet dreams in deed.

[…]

The day went by without major events, Lena had texted her early in the morning and gave her the restaurant address. The place was a small Italian restaurant, very discrete but popular, patrons had to make reservations months before or being someone extremely important to get a place. Kara felt relieved when she saw the place the brunette had chosen, small places or big crowd made her uncomfortable, but this place was perfect. They were meant to meet at 7 P.M. outside Luigi's. At 5 P.M. Kara was returning to her apartment after a photographic session, she sent a quick text to Alex to let her know she was busy for the night and not to disturbed her. When she was unlocking the door, her phone rang.

"Hey Alex, what's up?" – She closed the door with her foot, her phone was pressed against her shoulder, and her hands were already busy holding a shirt in each one.

"What are you doing tonight?" – Her sister asked with curiosity.

"I'm going out, you need something?" – The pile of clothes kept growing on her bed.

"Nono, who are you going out with?" – There was a small laughter coming through the phone, definitely not Alex.

"Are you interrogating me right now? Who's with you?" – The blonde replied grabbing another outfit.

"What do you mean? I'm alone" – the red head answered but Kara heard the smack after her affirmation.

"Yeah sure, Alex, I can hear her laugh and I'm pretty sure she just smacked you right after you said you were alone, come on tell me, who's with you?" – The outfit selection was definitively becoming a tough task.

"Hey! I'm the one doing the questions" – her sister said feigning annoyance. When Kara didn't answer she gave up. "Okey, okey, I'm with Kelly, James's sister, we met at Noonan's" – that was all the information the blonde was getting for now. "Your turn, who are you going out with? Do I know him?"

"Her, and I'm not going to tell you, so stop asking me"- she answered distractedly while choosing her shoes for the evening.

"I can't believe you're not telling me… wait, wait, did you say she?"- The pitch on her sister's voice rose an octave.

Shoot, that wasn't the way she wanted to come out to her sister, Alex didn't know about her being bisexual, Kara tried multiple times to tell her, but the time never seemed right, and then Alex came out and she wanted to be supportive and be there for her without taking the spotlight, but now she knows it was more about her chickening out and less about her being the supportive sister. If before wasn't a good time, this certainly wasn't either, she had a date in an hour or so, Alex would have to freak out later.

"I have to go now Alex, byeee"- she hang up the phone before her sister could stop her. She had an hour left to take a shower and get ready for her date. Finally, her date with Lena was happening, she could feel how day after day it was becoming harder and harder to stay away from her, her wolf craved for her, her own soul felt decimated with every minute spent apart. According to Jonn her feelings would continue to grow, the necessity becoming stronger than anything she'd experienced before. Luckily for her, this was a two ways road, Lena would feel as compelled as her to be in proximity, her own soul responding to their link.

The night was worm, the wind blew slowly. The street was busy, probably with people returning to their homes after a long day of work. Her driver had left her at the entrance of the restaurant at 18:35. It was 18:45 when she checked her watch for the third time, she had arrived earlier than what she previously expected, her nerves and anxiety taking the best of her. Her breath got caught in her throat the moment her eyes were set on the already too familiar blonde. Every time they were close, the rhythm of her heartbeat became frantic and that itchiness she felt when they were apart disappeared.

"Lena hi! Sorry I'm late" – the blonde said giving her one of those blinding smiles of her.

"Hi Kara, don't worry I arrived a little bit earlier. You look nice" – when the brunette was about to stretch her hand to shake Kara's, she was suddenly surprised by strong arms holding her tight. She wasn't familiar to this closeness, not even with family or friends, but for some reason, the blonde hugging her felt right, the sensation making her weak on the knees.

"You look as stunning as the first time we met, shall we?" – The blonde replied with a sweet smile, offering her arm to the raven beauty.

"We shall…" – once they got inside the restaurant, they were guided towards their table. Lena had asked for one with a view to an inside garden the place had. The room was dimly lit, giving them a privacy both of them were grateful for. The atmosphere was charmingly romantic, with candles on each table. The candlelight, Lena notice, made Kara's eyes shine even more than usual.

They didn't take long to decide what to have for dinner, Kara insisting that they should order the three best rated plates according to the web, Lena raising her eyebrow at the amount of food, but ultimately accepting because "Lena, you should never underestimate how much I can actually eat". The brunette, in fact learn that Kara wasn't exaggerating, she was still in awe about how someone who seemed so fit could eat as much as the blonde did.

Accordingly the time passed, Lena learn a few things about Kara. The blonde was smart, she could follow her in a conversation about LCORP projects to perfection, Lena had always wanted someone capable of challenge her intellect, she was dumbfounded when Kara proved to be that person. Not only that, but she was funny and easy going. The brunette always fought against her own inability to make conversation beyond professional's settings, but with Kara, her conversation flew naturally, her own walls disappear and all there was left was her true self, that making her equally frighten and excited. The last thing she noticed wasn't something about the photographer but about herself. On this day, on their first date, Lena was irrefutably sure that as in a cheap rom-com, she was already falling in love with Kara Danvers.

She was roughly awaken from her thoughts when her visual of Kara was blocked by no other than Andrea Rojas. Of all the places and times, she had to interrupt this one.

"Kara! What are the odds? I hope I'm not interrupting nothing too important…" – always so condescending. "Hi Lena" - she added turning once again her attention towards the blonde.

"Hi Andrea, how you've been?" – The blonde ask politely.

Lena knew Andrea since boarding school, the Latina was a fierce woman and when she wanted something she was like a dog with a bone. The worst part was that Andrea knew her, and what made her tick, and apparently her bone this time was Kara, so Lena was sure this wasn't the last time she would her about her.

"I'm good, still waiting for that coffee you promise me" – the woman then gave Kara's bicep a little squeeze. Lena could feel her blood boiling. She always knew she was nothing like her family, by right now, she was certain she could kill Andrea with her bare hands. Her killer instinct subdued when she watched how Kara removed Andrea's hand from her arm.

"I'm sorry Andrea, but I'm here on a date with Lena, maybe we can talk some other time?" – There was steel on the blonde's voice. She wasn't sure how but, not long after, she felt how relief and calmness washed over her, soothing her in a way she wasn't familiar with, the blonde used to affect her in that way.

"Oh, of course, it was nice to see you both, please, enjoy" – Andrea gave her a stern look before she turned around and left the table. Lena couldn't hold back the sigh coming out of her.

"Sorry about that" – Kara said giving her an apologetic gaze, as if Andrea appearing suddenly from nowhere, was her fault. This woman was too good for this world, too good for a Luthor, but Lena, even if she tried with all her might, couldn't stay away from her. She was once again pulled out of her thoughts, when the blonde spoke again – "She's kind of intense, isn't she?"

"You have no idea… but let's not talk about her. I was wondering, if you'll be up for a walk?" – The brunette asked with hopefulness in her voice. She wasn't ready for the night to end, she wanted to stay with Kara and share as much time with her as possible.

"Yeah, sure. My place is a few blocks away, we could walk there and may be have a drink?" – As soon as the invitation left Kara's lips, Lena was sure she was blushing so hard, that probably even the point of her ears were completely red, she could feel them burning. The blonde must see that too, because a mere seconds later she added "I mean, I know how that sounded, it wasn't my intention to imply, I mean… it's just a drink, there are no ulterior motives beyond getting to know you better…"

"Kara, relax, I believe you, let's get the check so we can go" – the brunette added while she took one of Kara's hands in hers and gave it a little squeeze.

They walked for a few blocks, Lena holding back the necessity to grab Kara's hand and the blonde gathering every ounce of courage to ask permission to do so, their hands touching ever so slightly in the meanwhile. It was around 10 P.M. when they left the restaurant, the street was almost empty, the sidewalk free from the crowd from before. After some very descriptive tales about Kara's journeys and some weird exchange about quantum entanglement, to Lena's surprise initiated by the blonde, they arrived to Kara's department. The ride up was both, the longest and shortest Lena has ever had. Every second was eternally long, her anticipation taking the best of her, sure Kara had promised it was just a drink, no ulterior motives behind, but the brunette was doubting if that was all she, herself wanted from this night.

"This is ours"- the blonde affirmed in a hasky voice. "Ours" the word brought a funny sensation to her stomach. She followed Kara through the hallway and had been daydreaming when her body came to a sudden stop after crushing against a solid back.

"Oh! Are you okey?" – Kara's hands were on each of her shoulders stabilizing her, her grip tight yet soft, electricity run through the extension of her spine with the contact.

"Yeah… yes, sorry, I was distracted"- the brunette answered with a composure she definitely didn't feel at the time.

The apartment was spacious with big windows which gave a beautiful view of the city and an open concept distribution. The decoration in light pastel colors produced a cozy atmosphere, the place screamed Kara all over.

"This place is beautiful Kara, the view is amazing"- she said while the blonde took her coat, her piercing blue eyes set on her, anchoring her to the spot.

"Thank you, a wonderful view indeed"- the blonde broke the eye contact then, and headed to the kitchen isle, oblivious to the effect such simple compliment had on her.

"It's red okey?" – The blonde was holding two glasses in one hand and a bottle of red one on the other, a very well known red wine Lena notice.

"It's perfect, thank you".

"Please, feel yourself at home, we can sit on the couch if you want and watch a movie or something" – suddenly to Lena's surprise, the confidence Kara showed had diminished, the brunette was able to feel her insecurity, and she would do everything in her power to re ensure her, she wanted for Kara to feel comfortable around her, to soothe all of her worries.

Lena sat on the couch, with her hand she patted the place next to her. Kara took the invitation and placed herself next to the brunette, she grabbed the bottle and filled their glasses. She could feel the gaze of the brunette on her, the task at hand becoming a challenge with the sensation.

Lena knew she was staring and she knew she should stop, but her eyes were not cooperating at all. She was here to talk, like Kara said, just to get to know each other better before this, whatever this was, was taken to another level, her desires could wait. With all the power left on her, she was able to break the spell she was under.

"So, Kara, what would you like to watch?" – She took a big gulp from the glass the blonde had offered her, the liquid soothing her raspy and dry throat.

"I know what I'm about to choose must be the least recommended movie to watch during a date, so sue me" - the blonde gave her a big goofy smile, her posture was relaxed again, she even sat closer to the brunette, her thighs touching slightly.

When the blonde hit play and the titles started, Lena chuckled, she had seen the movie multiple times and read the books until the pages were spent.

"I must confess something to you, nobody knows this, but I love this movie, all the saga actually, and of course I've read the books".

"Really? Alex threatened me about it after the tenth re watch with her, I kind of deserve it"

Half an hour and two glasses of wine later, Lena broke the silence.

"So, you and Alex seem close" – the sentence came out as a statement, probably because that was the feeling Lena had when she met the agent in her office.

Kara turned her attention towards the brunette, the movie still playing in the background, "What gave it away? Was it her lovely personality when you met her or the fact that she almost melted your face when she saw I was injured?" – She ended while she re filled their glasses.

"I must admit, that even her charming self didn't catch my attention as much as the gun being pointed at me while she tried to assist you" – the CEO confessed with a smirk, taking a sip of wine, the blonde chuckle in response.

"Yeap, that's Alex right there. But to answer your question, yes, we are close" – the blonde also took a sip of her wine and rested her arm on the back of the couch, the brunette followed the movement with interest. "We weren't always. When Eliza and Jeremiah took me in, Alex despised me, but we work it out through high school and we've been inseparable since then".

"Wait, you were adopted?" – Maybe they had more things in common that what she initially thought.

"Yes, they took me in when I was thirteen" – the blonde confirmed was once again feeling uncomfortable, Lena could feel it in her guts but she felt compelled to know more about the woman.

"Your parents… I mean, your biological ones, did they…"

"They died in a fire, my mother she… she was able to save me but she couldn't get out in time…" – when her eyes searched for Kara's she could see the pain in them, they were brighter than before, the intense blue now more vivid but full of hurt.

"I'm so sorry Kara" - she place her hand on the blonde's knee, she hoped the gesture brought some kind of comfort. "I shouldn't have asked".

The photographer put her hand on top of the brunette's "It's okay, really, It happened a long time ago. It's still difficult for me to talk about, but for once, I'm glad you asked. For the last few years, it feels like everyone I know tries to avoid the subject, and that, really is so much worse. So, feel free to ask me whatever comes to your mind" – once again the blonde was smiling in that sweet way she did, Lena was overwhelmed by how strong the woman was, here she was, telling her about things that would tear apart anyone's soul, but even so, she kept smiling.

"Okey, what about Eliza and Jeremiah? I mean, how is your relationship with them?" – The blonde frowned.

"Eliza it's great, she's so kind and smart, and she's one of the strongest women I know. When Jeremiah died, Alex and I were devastated, of course so was she, but she was the one that brought us up again".

"Jeremiah too… I feel like I should shut up now" – the brunette deprecated herself.

"Don't please, I like to talk to you about this stuff, I feel calm and safe with you. But I'm in disadvantage here though, I don't want to sound like a stalker but I might have done some research on you".

"It's that so? Do tell, please. What have you found about me?" – Her voice was low and raspy.

The blonde swallowed - "Just the usual stuff, that you were adopted by the Luthor's and that you're a certified genius"

"Well, this is something very people know about me because it was a recent event. My biological mother died when I was four, Lionel took me in spite of Lillian rejection, but recently I was informed by Lilian herself that I'm actually Lionel's daughter, apparently him and my mother had an affair" – before she could see Kara's reaction, she took a big gulp of wine, her glass was left by the coffee table, completely empty.

"Oh, that definitely wasn't on the web, but well it's not like it changes things right? I mean, they were the ones who raised you either way".

"Well, it's true that it didn't change anything about my upbringing, although my relationship with Lillian is passing through a rough patch, not that there was ever a good patch, but let's say she wasn't so pleased to found out that my father had left me almost all of his companies". She was about to take her glass but she retrieved her hand when she noticed the bottle was already empty.

"I can open another one if you want" – the blonde offered.

"I really shouldn't, I think I've had enough for one night, thank you"

"No problem. I'm sorry to hear that about your mother, really" – Lena knew the blonde was being sincere. She felt so connected to her, she wasn't sure why but she could tell every word the other woman said, she meant it, there were not empty words in her speech. The photographer was closer than before, her piercing azure eyes reflected the light coming through the large windows, and Lena could also see herself reflected on those deep eyes. "What about your biological mother? Do you have any memories of her?"- Kara asked cautiously.

Lena could sense the atmosphere in the room changing, the air between them felt heavier, a fresh and sweet scent wrapped her like a blanket, her shoulders and body losing the tension with every new breath being taken. It was becoming a difficult task to focus on their conversation, she blamed it to the stupid and sweet smile the blonde was giving her and to her way too handsome face. No one, ever, had caused this effect on her, but she had already stablished that the blonde was definitely exceptional.

"It's just some blurry memories" – Lena admitted almost whispering – "I remember she… she used to read me bedtime stories every night. Sometimes I remember her smell, or the sound of her laugh, or how warm her hugs were. I remember she loved me…" – the woman ended with teary eyes. "I'm sorry Kara, I'm making a complete fool of myself" – she was trying to wipe her tears with the back of her hand, but was interrupted by the blonde, her own hands were now placed at each side of her face, emerald and sapphire eyes connected by the motion.

"Lena please, you don't have to apologize for your feelings. I can sense your struggle, I can relate with you and your pain, so believe when I say it's completely okay for you to feel this way. I promise this, stays between you and me. I want you to trust me, I want to know everything there is to know about you Lena Luthor and I promise I will always be here for you, if that's what you want of course" – once again the CEO was marveled by the woman in front of her, they had just met but even so, Lena felt herself more and more fascinated by her and how strong, sweet, funny, honest, kind and caring this woman was.

Overwhelmed by the emotions the blonde triggered on her, she couldn't form words to answer, so she did the other thing she hoped would show Kara her feelings. She slowly leaned her body and close her eyes, giving enough time for Kara to withdraw if she wanted to, but the brunette saw before closing her eyes, how the blonde imitated her movements, the anticipation making her heart go wild. Before their lips touched, she felt the warmth of Kara's skin against her own and the almost imperceptible scent of wine on her lips. Her own senses were in overload, she heard the distant music from the movie, the light caress of air coming from Kara's shallow breath and the fire under her palms when her hands touched Kara's collarbone. When their lips finally made contact, it was as if a hard reset had been made to her brain, all her insecurities and troubled thoughts disappear and were replace by warmth and light and hope, by all that was definitely Kara. The kiss was nothing like their first, the one shared in the gallery was frantic, desperate driven by passion and desire, while this kiss, this one was slow, without urgency, hopeful and driven by emotions far too deep for a first date.

Even if the emotions were too much, even with all of her alarms going off and warning her to take precautions, Lena indulge herself and prolonged the kiss, the blonde reacted with the same commitment and deepened the kiss. The feeling of Kara's soft and warm tongue against her lower lip asking for permission brought a shock of electricity to her entire body and her mind went blank. Suddenly there was a flash of a memory, a blonde girl and a blonde woman were being introduced and a deep sadness flooded her soul. She ended the kiss abruptly and tried to control her breathing.

"Lena? Are you okay? What happened?" – The blonde said, her eyes full of concern. The brunette took a deep breath once again, the void that had settle on her chest dissipated when she felt the touch of Kara's hand on her cheek. "It's okay, you're okay".

"I… I think I saw you? You were a kid, I… I'm sorry Kara, I think the wine really took a toll on me".

"Hey, it's okay, don't worry about it, do you want me to take you home?" – The blonde asked, her thumb still caressing her cheek.

"Actually, I gave Daniel the night off, so if it's no trouble for you…"

"Of course not, come on, let's grab your coat".

[…]

"Yes, I have eyes on the target, but sir, she's not alone. What are my orders?"

I'm back! Sorry for the delay, December is a rough month for me and it was difficult to sit my ass down and write. I hope you enjoy this new chapter, I'm not completely convinced with the outcome of this one but well...
