[X-Patrol HQ: Leech's apt: Kitchen]

Leech watched as Reptile sat on the couch playing with the silver necklace around her neck, his birthday gift to her. She was also still playing with her comm unit, it has been a month since her 18th birthday and she's still so psyched about being on the squad.

-Beep beep beep-

Leech opened the microwave and fixed the popcorn up before sitting down beside her on the couch.

[Bedroom: Later]

Waking up he saw the top of her head lying on his chest. He ran his hand carefully through her hair, a little side effect of her powers was she had very slightly enhanced senses in her normal form and the most enhanced sense was her sense of touch it was useful (and very fun) sometimes but it made her a very light sleeper. Of course, she woke up though.

"-Yawn- hey"

"Hey"

She was smiling at him... he couldn't help but smile back, she had such a damn cute smile.

"Is it alright if I go take a shower?"

"Sure"

[Morning]

He stood in the kitchen drinking a glass of orange juice when Reptile ducked under his arm and leaned up against him.

"Morning"

"Morning... what do you want to do today?"

"... -ahem- I have something planned... alone"

"... oh"

He saw she was hurt and inwardly kicked himself, she was going through some stuff now and she needed his support.

"I could just not go if you wanted to do something though"

"No, thats alright... but do you want some company or something?"

"... I... I dont know"

She mumbled something that resembled OK and turned to leave when he put his hand on her shoulder.

"Kate, I'm sorry, I... this is hard for me"

"Oh"

"... Um, meet me back here in two hours and dont wear anything you dont want dirty"

[Morlock Tunnels: Later]

He felt her hand touch his arm but he still couldnt move, in 17 years its never got any easier. He didnt really remember much from living down here, he was only around 4 when it happened but every time he came down here the memories seemed more vivid.

"Lee, are you alright?"

"... yeah"

He pulled out a candle from his pocket and placed it on the ground. After noticing the remains of the other candles he lights it and stands up.

"It happened 17 years ago today, you know"

"Do you come here every year?"

"I have for awhile... its the only connection I have to my past, they were my family"

They stand silently for a few moments then slowly walk away, leaving the candle to slowly burn away.
