Your Life or Mine
Chapter 4
"I always did what you asked me to." Zack replied sadly.
Ames turned away and walked briskly to her car. Pulling open the door she was suprised to find Zack still staring at her. His green eyes still concentrating on her.
"Goodbye." Ames said and glared pointedly at Zack, waiting for the garage door to open.
Serena stirred and glanced around. Her vision blurred she scrambled up and stumbled into what she thought was a lamp post.
"Hello there." Darien said, grabbing Serena by the shoulders as she tried to wake/shake off a muggy annoying feeling.
"Hands off." Serena said as she hit Darien's hands away. Mumbling something about sleep and annoying perverts she headed towards the bathroom.
"That's worked fast." Rei remarked, annoyed that she'd be upset over such a small thing.
"She just on painkillers and a damn fast working shot." Ames said from her car.
"Ames!" Zack said and jogged over to her. Ames turned around and glanced at Zack once again and averted her eyes.
"Open the garage and let me go" Ames said quietly.
"I can't. The garage has shut down automatically." Zack said as equally as quiet.
Ames' head snapped up.
"Liar" she hissed at him.
"I'm not." Zack said and motioned towards his desk. The screens and lights were hidden away once again, and only one item was left. His normal papers of course.
"It turns off after 10, because the only person that needs to use it afterwards is Serena, who has her own access codes for the door and whatnots." Zack said and motioned towards the bathroom.
"You'll have to ask her."
"Zack!" Serena grumbled. "extra rooms... open... now!"
"Oh right." Zack said, and scrambled to a corner of his office. He pulled out his ring once again but this time he also pulled out a small key from his key ring. Serena crawled over from the bathroom to watch what he was doing.
Zack glanced over at Serena and found her looking straight at him. Her eyes were unfocused and her breathing shallow.
'Damnit, she's going to pass out again...' Zack though anxiously. He pushed her backwards gently and laid her down on the floor admist her protests.
"Hold on! Just a minute before you can actually pass out..." Zack remarked, smiling happily at the apparently almost healthy Serena.
Zack hunched over the corner once again and pushed his key through a small hole in his ring. The key created a ยง pattern on his ring. He then took his ring and pushed it into a small painting that looked like the pattern on the wall.
Sighing deeply he watched as the floor shifted neatly and opened to a set so stairs that led down to his spare rooms.
"Good." Serena whispered when she heard the quite whirring of the gears open the staircase.
"There are showers and bathrooms and bedrooms and whatever kind of room I could think of down there. There's also an armory, but you have to ask Serena for the passcode and key." Zack said before turning to the almost asleep Serena.
'Good, you need your rest...' Zack though as he watched her sleep.
Ames grimaced and turned away.
'I knew I could never compete...'
'Don't let her go...' Serena thought before she drifted off to a dreamless sleep.
"I'll take her downstairs with me." Darien said, quite annoyed by the change in his plans.
"Hell no!" Zack said quickly and loudly. "I'll take her down myself. I don't trust you at all."
Ames herself was shocked at his reaction. The normally cool and light tempered Zack was almost yelling.
"Zack! Stop that!" Ames defended Darien.
Zack shot a hurt look in Ames' direction and picked up Serena. He gave her one last look before disappearing down the staircase and to his underground compound.
Darien and Rei followed close behind, leaving Ames to her thoughts and simmering frustration.
"Hey? Are you coming down too or what?" Zack yelled from the compound.
Ames didn't reply, but began to walk down the stairs. She knocked on the walls a few times just to see what they were made of and, to her surprise, they were made out of titanium.
'Amazing...' Ames thought as she finally entered the complex. She glanced left and right, trying to take it all in with one slow panoramic gaze.
"The bathrooms are over there, the bedrooms over there, and there are some communication rooms, the armory is over there, umm... whatelse is there?" Zack said vaguely motioning towards certain areas of the complex.
"Why do you not know your own building?" Ames remarked almost jealously.
'So she's been helping him out has she...'
"Because Serena built it. Or rather, had someone fund the project so she could have an extra place to crash." Zack said offhandedly looking around for Serena's room. Finally he spotted the door to his left with a few dents in it, in addition to a few scratches. All in all a pretty ratty and uninviting looking door.
Zack chuckled to himself and walked over with Serena still hugged tightly to his chest.
"Here you are." Zack said quietly as he put Serena down on the bed and covered her with the sheets. He turned to find Ames there, staring at Serena and Zack.
"You two look good together, you know that?" Ames said sadly. She turned and walked away. She quickly chose a room for herself and closed and locked the door before Zack could come in. She leaned against the back of the door breathing heavily at the pressure she felt in her mind and heart.
"Wait that room..." Zack said, quickly cut off by the resounding sound of the door being slammed shut.
Darien and Rei shrugged at each other and walked into separate rooms.
Rei looked around her room with wonder, she couldn't have constructed something better herself. Titanium walls but covered in a substance that looked like mahogany wood, vents on the ceiling and floor, three locks and a peep hole on the door, a queen sized bed, a bathroom with a shower and bath, and to top it all off a changable wall scheme. Boy was she going to have some fun decorating her room.
Darien peeked into Rei's room and, finding her already absorbed in the new equiptment and luxuries he went back to his own.
"EEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ames' shrill scream cut through the air.

Sorry all, it's a little shorter than the last. I hope you enjoyed it. I think I'll be working on the next chapter for The Exchange Student for the next few days, so you might have to wait a little while for the next update (hopefully not 2 to 3 months). PLEASE REVIEW! And that ends the public service announcement. Goodnight.
