C'mon, You Love Her

Jet watched as Werner and Virginia entered the final room at Mimir's Well. Gallows tried to follow but Clive put his hand to block the Baskar. "This is something our leader has to deal with on her own. She and her father have family matters to attend to. If they need help, I'm sure she'll come back for us. But for now we should give them time alone. After all, if Hyadas is sealed and Werner only exists in the physical world due to its power, then by theory he will fade away. Virginia should be by her father's side in his final moments. It might do her some good to see him before he goes; and they don't need interruptions either."

'Werner's gonna leave,' mused Jet, 'Man, I never got to thank him for saving my life. Come to think of it, there are still a lot of unanswered questions that I was going to press him with. I need to speak with him before he bites the big one. But Clive is right; Virginia needs more time with her old man alone. They haven't been able to be a real father and daughter since he died at Yggdrasil and left her and her old lady.'

He looked up at the ceiling; concern for how Virginia would take this beginning to show on his face. It was almost like Jet couldn't help himself anymore. In the old days, he would never show compassion to another person at all. But after meeting Virginia, and traveling with the team, the boy had come to know a whole slew of new emotions. Virginia always showed him concern when he was in pain. In fact, just last night he'd had a nightmare about his own existence, and awoke to find himself lying in her arms. She had probably seen him tossing and turning in pain, so she decided to allow him a place of warmth to calm him.

"Hey Jet…you're blushing! It's Virginia, isn't it? I knew it all along you sly punk; you're in love with our leader. So, you gonna tell her when she gets back from her talk with her father?" inquired Gallows. Jet could clearly feel his blush now; his temperature had shot up at least fifty degrees when the Baskar spoke.

Jet screamed, "No, I am not going to admit that I'm in love with the chatterbox when she gets back! For one, I am not in love with her at all! For two, even if I was, which I am not, I wouldn't do it when she was still hurting over her father. I may be an insensitive guy, but I am not going to make the girl cry because it will turn into another one of those really sappy scenes and she'll get all emotional on me. I don't need her doing that to me!" He turned around to face the wall. But the other men knew he was hiding something.

Clive adjusted his glasses and walked over to the boy. "It may make her feel better if you are there for her when she is no longer with her father. We were able to deduce that his demise is imminent from the evidence given, but Virginia is an optimistic young woman who believes that everything will work out alright in the end. She probably still thinks that her father is going to come out of this alive if they are able to save him. However, there is no possible way a being from within Hyadas can exist outside of Hyadas once it is disconnected. Beatrice, being made of electronic signals and inhabiting dreams, can use her pawns to project her image in the real world; but Werner is not like that. I must say I feel deep sympathy for the girl."

"I know she's gonna be upset," Jet muttered, "But she's not the worst off person alive. Look at me! I barely know what I am. And the last person who has any knowledge of my own powers and what I am supposed to do is going to die today. At least Virginia has an identity of her own; all I am is a borrowed form of some dead kid wrapped around a man made body. Just who in the hell am I!" He had the answers he was looking for all along, but they only had led to more questions. Now he'd have to figure it out alone.

"Support one another Jet. She can lean on you over the loss of her father. And you may lean on her over finding out your existence. I must say, you have memories of your own now. All of the times you were with us are your memories. Wouldn't you like to make new memories alongside the one you love with all your heart? By not admitting how you feel, you only cause yourself more pain. Jet, you have to open up to the rest of us and allow our abilities and knowledge to support you in times like this," Clive told the boy.

Gallows, being Gallows, added, "Besides, I know she likes you too. And I'll bet that it would feel real good to just snuggle up with her in the bedroom…just the two of you. Her body against yours. You holding her close. The eternal bond that ties you and all of those things. You know you really want it."

Clive let out a sigh as his friend spoke. "You know, you really aren't helping the situation any one bit. The best thing for Jet to do is to speak to Virginia and let her get it all off her chest. There is more to a relationship than simply hitting the sack and getting laid. I should know, I am the married one after all."

"But that's no fun Clive!" exclaimed Gallows, "I know that you and Catherine must have some really steamy stories about when you got it on. I have the misfortune of never getting laid once in my life despite my many attempts with the ladies. You should tell the punk what it's like. I only know from reading about it in books and from the few times I spied on my parents when they were getting it on. Those were the days."

"I most certainly will not tell him my private business. Honestly Gallows, does your mind ever seem to get out of the gutter? I am beginning to think the only reason you can remotely behave yourself is that you don't want to offend the lady with your talk. However, it is not appreciated by me at all," Clive stated.

Jet muttered, "I'm not surprised he was watching his parents as a kid. Probably his curiosity got the better of him. I'm only surprised to hear that Gallows was reading anything. He doesn't strike me as the type to do that. Either the world's gone crazy or Ginny will throw me in the loony bin for being mad."

The two men began inching closer to their friend to hear more. However, at that moment, Virginia came back from her foray into the back room. She was alone, and seemed to be a little bit sad. However, the second that Jet stood up and walked behind her-just to keep her out of trouble, mind you : ) -she let out a small yet bright smile. It felt good to have her friends beside her at this time; she needed to be strong in order to carry out her father's wish to protect Filgaia. But she wondered why Jet was blushing so madly.


Teefa's Last Words...

I never should have let Burianne dictate more chapters. Oh sure, the romance is good. Butshe goes a little overboard with the perverted scenes.
