Why So Jaded
Chapter 10
Violet woke up to the feeling of the cameras and sensors cycling on and it made her eyes snap open and inhale sharply as she ducked under the covers before they could spot her as she hoped and prayed that it was still too dark to be seen on them but it woke Buddy up.
"What? What?" Buddy asked when he felt her jerk within his embrace.
"The cameras, they're cycling on, I need to get out of this bed and back into the other one with Jack." Violet whispered as she clung to his body, hoping that her own wouldn't be easily seen on the cameras.
"Uh, ok," Buddy answered as he peeked down into the covers to see her start to turn invisible before he could clearly see his shirt and a pair of underwear.
"Shit, I'm not wearing anything that will vanish with me." Violet realized as she noticed the same thing and reappeared.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck." Violet breathed.
"So...what do you want to do?" Buddy whispered back.
"Hang on, give me a second." Violet urged as she tried to steady her racing heart and labored breathing as she focused on what cameras were cycling on, like a wave through the apartment as she tried to find the rhythm of the cycle.
"Ok, they're on a wave pattern, they're about to run over us again, here in a moment, once they pass, I can make a run for it, but I have to do so naked, otherwise they'll see me." Violet realized before she froze and held her breath when she felt the cameras pan over them before she finally breathed when it passed before she quickly squirmed to take her underwear off and the shirt and Buddy couldn't help it, he got hard enough to drill through concrete.
"Ok, when I say when, roll over to your other side and take me with you and then drop me so I'll be able to get to the floor." Violet urged him.
"Ok." Buddy agreed and prayed she wouldn't notice his bodily reaction to her.
"Ok, in three, two one. Go!" Violet coached as he did as she asked and it felt glorious to feel all of her on him like that, even if it was only for a moment and once he let go, she dropped to the floor on her butt before he heard her scuffle on the floor before her feet slapped against the floors in an effort to get away to his bedroom's bathroom before the next cycle started as she quickly put on her own pajamas inside the bathroom then pretended to leisurely get out of the bathroom and get back in bed and try to get some more sleep.
Meanwhile Buddy had rolled back over and found her underwear and had it tightly in his fist before he ducked under the covers just in case the cameras were watching and he couldn't help himself, he had sniffed it and was silently jerking off because he was leaking precum like a river and he did all he could to do so quickly and quietly as his brain churned out several fantasies all at once because to feel Violet press her body against his was heaven and he wanted and needed more and way faster than he was anticipating, he came in a shuddering breath into his own tshirt that she had been wearing so he wouldn't make a mess out of his bedding and he expected that once he had pleasured himself, that that would have been the end of it. But no. His imagination was sparking into overdrive into a lust filled haze.
Meanwhile Violet was laying in bed feeling her cheeks flush in the darkness. She had felt Buddy's erection and it had taken all of her self control not to burn all the cameras and listening devices so she could stay and enjoy it because he was packing.
Not the longest erection she had ever felt. But definitely the fattest and thickest. His stocky build hadn't skipped where it really counted. And now she needed to go back to the bathroom because she had a "device" in her toiletries bag that was calling her name as she slipped out of the bed and stole away into the bathroom before she got her prize and slipped it into her underwear and against her clit and got one of Buddy's towels and wrapped it around her waist to insulate herself from the lid of the toilet seat as she sat down and turned it on and eagerly began to ride her toy on the toilet seat cover as she wished she could be riding Buddy instead.
Tali had told her, a few times, how Buddy was if anything- a very generous, thoughtful, if not determined lover and had zeroed in- in quick succession all her erogenous zones and after a few sessions, would know just what and how to bring her to her knees in bliss and had simply said he was 'well endowed' and knew what to do with what the gods had gifted him with and how he had the range to go from soft and sweet and romantic to bone rattling, star gazing, burning in blissful lust with just a word and how even though he was always a commanding and dominating presence, he didn't mind getting dominated every once in a while and often let her do as she pleased with him and had no problem submitting to her one moment or dominating her in the next. At the time Violet had been grossed out to learn any of that, but they were sharing a few bottles of wine as Tali had been nursing Luca in her penthouse at Sky Way. Having Tali so close was the only reason Violet had for staying there as much as she did and would be the only bad thing about leaving there. Violet had been lying when she told Phillip that she only knew her as Mirage. Her and Tali had become even closer since Violet moved in a year ago and it was on her Fridays that Violet took her order from Merry Cherry straight to Tali's penthouse so they could talk, drink and rant to each other about the week.
But right this instant, Violet was so focused on fantasizing Buddy underneath her with his thick meaty hands on her hips, gripping them with almost a bruising grip and letting her ride him with reckless abandon as he pledged his undying, unwavering and infinite love and fidelity to her and only her and how he would never compare her to Tali as long as she never did the same with him and Phillip or how he would feast on her while making a feast for her and would hopefully eat her out right because while Phillip had a decent dick game, his oral or finger game was lackluster at best and according to Tali- that's where Buddy excelled because Buddy never really had to rely on his looks or any powers to deliver- and just had to learn and master it the old fashion way- through practice and persistence in his own efforts to overcompensate for his own- what he felt, was his deficits in his natural looks and charm.
Violet finally came in a silent scream as her hips stuttered as she ground down onto her toy before she turned it off to keep herself from being overstimulated. Then she removed it from herself and put it back into her toiletries bag before she slipped back into bed and managed to fall asleep and finally get the rest of her beauty sleep right about the same time Buddy had gotten to his third and final orgasm before he finally fell back asleep himself, although that was hard considering, he didn't have someone to hold onto anymore, after several years of not having someone to sleep next to, he had almost forgotten how wonderful that felt and how grounding and comforting it was and instead he found himself hugging the pillow she had been sleeping on to mimic the feeling of having her in his arms again, it was a sorry excuse for her but it was better than nothing.
It was 10am by the time they all seemed to wake up for the day and staggered to the kitchen before they all seemed to try to make breakfast together before they all gravitated to the breakfast bar as Violet contemplated the previous evening's events as Buddy did his best to act as natural as possible for Jack's sake and once they ate breakfast, they went back into the lab to see what had finished processing as Violet looked at her new suit in awe.
"Wow." Violet breathed as she looked at it.
"So, tell me about it." Violet invited to Buddy as she sidled up to him and nudged him with her hip.
"Well, it's a spin off of your current suit in that it is a matrix of nano armor that should feel like fabric…" Buddy began as he got the suit out of the compositor and handed it to her as she looked it over eagerly, appreciating the softness of it.
"But instead of having to wear the suit itself all the time, it can be shrunk down into something of a necklace, like this." Buddy explained as he pressed a button and instantly the suit retracted into itself and all that Violet was left with- was a very beautiful necklace.
"And the beauty of it, is if at any point- any of it gets torn- it'll repair itself or if need be- as long as you have one mother nano, which the suit has several- it can regrow from that single mother nano, or even since you're a handler to an asset with other security detail, lets say- you find yourself on a desert island and everyone's clothes are torn and falling off, what you can do- is detach a piece that has a mother nano and put that fabric on someone else and a suit will form around them and conform to them and then the mother nano will multiply and divide so that they in turn can repeat that process as many times over as needed. I built it so it naturally monitors the surrounding environment and it'll calibrate to keep you comfortable, so say you're in the arctic and you're only wearing this- well the suit will actually heat up on the inside layer to keep you warm without showing off that heat to any thermal indicators so you'd still be invisible. And it does come with natural sunscreen so you can wear this without worrying about getting a sunburn or anything. Or even wear this in a desert, where it's 110 degrees and this thing will keep you cool while collecting any perspiration, filtering it and can deliver it back to you if need be. Now when this suit becomes invisible, I made sure to include- infrared, ultraviolet and all the other spectrums that humanity can sense, so that when you're invisible, you're invisible- invisible. Because with your old suit, I was still able to sense where you were because of the static electricity, in this one- not anymore. Also…" Buddy began as he told her about the dozens of other features he had put into the suit including cloaking abilities so that she could wear the suit and it could look like everyday clothes and then press a button and transform into the suit or vanish which was also voice activated which Violet thought was amazing and eagerly went into the bathroom to try the suit on and was surprised it covered her head and made her hair into a natural ponytail which she appreciated before she noticed that her hair became like three- not quite tentacles but not quite hands either, but simply like tools that she found she could control with her mind as she practiced reaching and grabbing things and bringing them back to herself, like rolls of toilet paper before she practiced putting things back before she left the lab.
"So? What do you think?" Buddy asked hopefully.
"I'm in love with it, these were a really smart idea, so I don't have to use my powers to do the yo-yo thing." Violet praised as Jack came over and checked out her suit, pocking and prodding it.
"How far will the artificial arms stretch out?" Jack asked.
"Anywhere from a few feet to about fifty." Buddy estimated.
"And I asked him to give your suit some medical aspects too, so like if you ever get injured, the suit will be able to tell and be able to dress and stabilize the wound, it'll even replicate artificial skin like say if you got a bullet wound. Each mother nano has a medical nano piggy backing it so it will again, help whoever else you have to share the suit with." Jack explained.
"Aww, that's very sweet and thoughtful of you Jack." Violet cooed appreciatively.
"And obviously because you hate heels, I made it flat footed and comfortable so it will feel like you're wearing sneakers and it should grip really well so you don't slip on anything." Buddy added.
"I did notice that, thank you." Violet returned appreciatively as she moved her weight from one foot to the other to appreciate the comfortable soles the suit had.
"And it has a water feature, a few actually." Jack eagerly informed Violet.
"Water features?" Violet frowned.
"So you can breathe underwater." Jack answered.
"Oh, sweet." Violet blinked in surprise with a smile.
"And then, when you're sneaking into a place that has weight sensors in the floor, you can use...which button is it Barret?" Jack asked.
"Oh for that, you press this and this at the same time." Buddy explained as he pointed to the buttons on the inside of her forearms before Violet pressed them and immediately felt like she was in a pool as she lifted in the air and started giggling then laughing when she could "swim" around the lab.
"Oh yeah, new favorite features." Violet giggled when she turned it off and walked back to them as she continued to play with her suit.
"So to get it to look like clothes, where can I change what I want the clothes to look like?" Violet asked.
"Oh, here," Buddy informed her before he brought her over to a computer as Violet began to pull up pictures of clothes from the internet and "loaded" them into the program and created short cuts in the suit.
"Another way you can do that is simply dress in like your favorite clothes and ask the suit to "clone" it too." Jack informed her proudly.
"Is there anything this suit doesn't do?" Violet asked rhetorically.
"That's a good question, I built it to simply amplify your own powers and I tried to cover all the bases I could think of, considering your current situation and circumstances, which is according to my current knowledge and just building off the genius that Edna had already come up with and I did my best to stay with her styling so that if Edna ever gets to see it, she won't be offended that you had "a man" design your suit instead of her." Buddy shrugged because Jack had told him how outraged Edna had been when she had seen his mom's old suit that 'some man' designed a decade prior.
"Yeah, I think she'll be ok with this, I think your next collaboration should be with her, because I know of at least a dozen women who would pay a shit ton of money for a suit like this with all these features." Violet appraised.
"Thank you, so much for it." Violet thanked them as she hugged Jack first then hugged Buddy.
"So what do I owe you for the suit?" Violet posed to Buddy with a smile that hinted at perhaps something licentious.
"You don't owe me anything," Buddy shook his head.
"Oh I'll find a way to make it up to you. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go check on something." Violet said as she vanished in a flash.
"Holy shit I can phase through walls now?" Violet asked as she reached the wall and was able to phase through it and stepped from one side of the wall to the other as Violet outright giggled.
"You're welcome!" Jack called out, proud of himself for himself and Buddy to capture his own super power and was able to imbue it into the suit.
Violet made her way to security before she found Nelson just getting off from the night.
"So anything interesting happen last night?" Pike asked as he came into the room.
"Nope, nothing, Violet and Jack stayed in the bed all night, Pine took the couch like a gentleman." Nelson answered as Violet paused and frowned and became visible and changed the suit to just a normal t-shirt and jeans just as Nelson was coming out of the room.
"Hey Boss, what are you doing up here?" Nelson asked.
"Oh, just checking on things." Violet answered but the look Nelson gave her was telling as he smiled knowingly at her and came up to her.
"I took care of it, nothin' happened." Nelson simply whispered as he stood in front of her.
"Oh thank God." Violet breathed as she reached out and squeezed his arm.
"Phil had his own fun last night- he went to the ballet and took home the star, he never checked in once." Nelson reassured her.
"What do I owe you?" Violet asked.
"If Pine gets to escape SEB, put in a word with him so he can take me with- because I like working with him, he's a good guy." Nelson stated simply.
"Will do." Violet vowed.
"Me too! Pine is awesome." Pike said as he poked his head out the door from the security room that held the feeds from Buddy's floor.
"Who else?" Violet laughed as she looked from Nelson to Pike.
"Everyone, when we were in Vegas, Pine was a class act and obviously still continues to be, none of us have signed noncompetes. So when and if Pine ever gets out of here, we're hoping he'll want a familiar face to have his back." Pike answered.
"What if he can't pay as much?" Violet posed/
"I'd take a paycut if it meant I didn't have to deal with half the shit we've put up with for the last few years." Nelson appraised.
"Same." Pike mirrored as Violet could only nod in agreement.
"Well for now, keep that close to your chest, wouldn't want that to get out and suddenly you guys would either have to sign noncompetes or get fired." Violet warned them.
"Not that anyone would ever hear anything from me about it except for Mr. Pine but more and more walls have ears these days." Violet reassured them.
"Understood Boss." Pike and Nelson nodded in understanding.
"Thanks guys for having my back. I better get back." Violet urged before she went back to Buddy's lab, disappearing once she was around the corner.
Buddy and Jack had even been working on Jack's super suit as well as Jack went through his own wardrobe so he could "change" from his clothes the previous day.
"So what did you guys want to do today?" Violet posed once she came back into the lab.
"Can we just hang out today?" Jack asked hopefully as he looked from Buddy to Violet.
"It's whatever you guys want to do, technically you guys could go home now if you wanted." Buddy offered but grinned when Violet and Dash crinkled their noses at that.
"Nah, if you don't mind, we could just hang out with you." Jack opted.
"I don't mind one bit, I'd enjoy it actually." Violet grinned.
"I'd be happy to have you, you won't hear any argument from me." Buddy happily agreed before the three seemed to settle in and Violet quite enjoyed just hanging out and seeing how Jack and Buddy seemed to instantly get along and befriend each other and tag team on stuff before she knew it they had come back into the apartment side as Buddy walked Jack and Violet through one of his favorite lunch recipes and Jack eagerly learned what he could from him before the three of them gravitated to the couch while their lunch baked in the oven and Violet happily cozied right up to Buddy's side and was happy when he wrapped his arm around her shoulders as they watched a movie and marveled at how natural and easy this was, how it wasn't forced like how she had to be with Phillip but she genuinely wanted to be near Buddy and how nicely they fit together and Violet was ever so grateful that Jack was not only well behaved but polite and just generally- a really great kid, as the day both seemed to fly by yet Violet got to enjoy every minute of it, which was a welcome change of pace for her.
Meanwhile Buddy was practically tickled pink that Violet felt so comfortable with him and was just casual in her closeness and it was all his strength not to kiss her every two seconds. But he could go slow, technically, had the next few years to go slow. He had time.
After dinner, they found themselves at the table, playing a card game and Jack was throttling both of them.
"At least we're not in Vegas losing money this time." Violet comforted Buddy.
"Just my pride." Buddy laughed as he put a card down and Jack smiled evilly.
"Thank you." Jack grinned as he picked up the card and put down another three of a kind.
"And one discard, and I'm out." Jack announced happily as Buddy and Violet both groaned.
"Damn it. I needed one more ace and I could have been ok." Violet realized as she counted up her points and whimpered when she had negative points to add to the roster.
"How bad?" Jack asked.
"Negative 45." Violet answered as Jack put that down.
"Barret?" Jack prompted.
"Hang on, uh, 45 plus 55, crap, that's a hundred, negative 100. And I'm sorry Vi, I had your ace." Buddy revealed as he let his overflowing hand down and poked at the ace in question.
"And I have…." Jack said as he counted up his cards. "A hundred and twenty five. Yes, I win." Jack beamed as he totaled everything up, having gotten five points past the 500 points mark.
"Don't take it hard Barret, they say those that are unlucky in cards are lucky in love." Jack soothed.
"Yeah, I'm kind of unlucky in both." Buddy readily confessed as he finished his wine before he got up from the table to retrieve another bottle for him and Violet to share.
"Unlucky so far- maybe your best luck is about to strike, you never know." Jack insisted before he took another long sip of his Coke and subtly winked at Violet who crinkled her nose at him as Buddy simply grinned crookedly as he uncorked the bottle of wine then returned to the table before he refilled Violet's glass for her and then his own as Jack reshuffled the deck and began to deal a new game for them.
"Maybe." Buddy allowed before he looked at his cards but to feel Violet's knee gently rub against his had him not caring at all that his cards were complete shit. Honestly, just spending time with her, especially when she was happy and pleased with him was all he could hope or ask for.
After another round of cards, they went back to the couch to watch another movie and Violet and Jack both fell asleep, Jack had been laying into Violet's side as Violet had been doing the same to Buddy and Buddy just grinned happily when they were both comfortable enough to fall asleep as Buddy happily carried Violet to his bed first then Jack as he once again got the couch and pulled out the pull out bed and set it up for himself. Happy and content with himself for showing some restraint.
Meanwhile Phillip finally called to check in on the situation while his current flavor of the weekend lay knocked out in his bedroom.
"Hey, so how did Ms. Parr do?" Phillip asked Pike just as Leland was coming in to relieve him.
"She did great and Mr. Pine behaved like a gentleman." Pike reported.
"Is she still in there?" Phillip asked.
"Yes, however, that is only because Jack doesn't want to leave, apparently Jack and Buddy have kind of bonded over Jack's school project and Jack actually knew the children of Mr. Pine's company because he got invited to other social gatherings, like birthday parties and such that Ms. Parr agreed to take him to. Also Jack played rummy with them and whipped them both." Pike reported since they were able to piece that together with the wave of feeds that came in every so often.
"Huh," Phillip frowned.
"However there was a development, sir." Pike reluctantly reported.
"What development?" Phillip pressed.
"Ms. Parr and Jack are both working on Dragon Eye apparently and they have brought Mr. Pine into it. So he's now a collaborator with that project." Pike revealed since he was able to see that when the lab had had waves of feed as Phillip marched to his computer and got into The Agency's database and got to see what had been done and felt a flurry of emotions.
The first was jealousy then hurt that Violet didn't come to him first to discuss this with him. Also, how did Violet think that involving Jack into this dangerous case was a good idea? Let alone Mr. Pine? Then he looked closer at it and realized- it wasn't just Violet, Mr. Pine and Jack, Edna had her own 'fingerprints' on this and so did half The Agency apparently. But he could tell where Jack and Edna had their own work and then Violet had hers and saw how it was Mr. Pine who put it all together and was working several angles that even surprised and if Phillip's pride wasn't so hurt- would have impressed him too.
It didn't take much for Phillip to realize that if he wasn't "legitimate" and on the right side of these things- he would be treated in similar fashion only because he had similar powers which only reinforced his own belief that he could never be known that he was a Super. But he was grateful that Mr. Pine had figured out a way to protect Violet from Dragon Eye. But that also meant that while she was protected from Dragon Eye, she would be immune to him also. But Phillip felt confident that she no longer needed him to have an affect on her. That her feelings for him were strong enough and deep enough that she would still be loyal to him. And the more he thought about it, the more he realized how desperate Violet must have been feeling about this case to bring them in and he even read her notes- that Violet left on this case that she needed to make sure that he and Dragon Eye never met just in case Dragon Eye would pose a threat to not only herself, but him and anyone else too even though Phillip knew his own powers dwarfed Dragon Eye's and it should be Dragon Eye that should be fearful of ever meeting him.
"Sir?" Pike asked.
"Thank you so much for your report, keep the wave pattern up and report to me when she and Jack leave." Phillip decided.
"Yes sir, good night Sir." Pike signed off.
"Good night." Phillip answered before he hung up.
"Philly?" Ainsley asked as she lifted her head from his pillow and was reaching out to see where he was in the bed before Phillip quickly logged out of The Agency's database and went back to bed with her before he cuddled close and waited until she fell back asleep before Phillip stared up at his ceiling. All he needed was a push for Violet before he looked down at the girl laying on his chest and grinned wolfishly.
He was going to make Violet jealous. If he got with the beauty in his arms, that would either push Violet to get jealous, and she would have two options, admit she has feelings for him and try to break him up to get with him and finally drop her 'too dangerous to be together' act, or she could jealousy throw herself in perhaps another man's arms to make him jealous in turn. Because if Violet- out of jealousy decided to toy with say- Mr. Pine's emotions because it would only be a week or two before Violet would feel 'frustrated' sexually. And even if she vented those frustrations on him, that would only further entrap Mr. Pine. So let her get as close and cozy with Mr. Pine as she wanted to. Because he was still confident that her heart still belonged to him even if Violet didn't know it yet herself.
