Ruby and Bryce were walking toward the lobby of their Puerto Rican hotel. They were supposed to be going to lunch with Max, Phoebe, Bobby and Troy which had completely been Bryce's idea.
"So why are you so amped about going out with Max and Troy… I thought you didn't like him?" Ruby asked her boyfriend as they walked down the hall hands held together.
"I don't trust him Rubes… Raina said that he hurt her and I really care about Max and I know that he's one of your best friends too…" Bryce told her seeing her look half concerned, "After what happened with Jamie I just don't want to see somebody else get hurt and have to live with myself if I just sat back and watched…" He told her quickly but quietly.
"You really think He's a bad guy… that he might do something to Max?" She questioned softly getting a nod from the other, "Then I'll help you keep an eye on him!" She told him giving his hand a soft squeeze. Bryce nodded with a soft smile as they approached Max and his boyfriend as well as Bobby who were all starring at the elevators with looks of concern.
"What's wrong?" Ruby asked them seeing their gazes all pointing toward the elevators all of which were shut off due to malfunctions.
"Phoebe had to run back up to her room to grab something…" Bobby stated still staring at the elevator doors hoping they would open, "It's gonna be a few hours before they can get it moving safely again… you guys might want to go ahead then hopefully she and I can catch up to you soon!" He added getting nods and statements of agreement.

"I'm sick and tired of getting stuck in small spaces with people…" Blake stated with a nearly inaudible growl. Phoebe looked across the elevator at her quirking an eyebrow.
"Does this happen to you a lot?" She questioned seeing her friend sigh heavily.
"Yeah… I got stuck in a hole with Avalanche last summer…" Blake answered recalling the events she had just mentioned.
"Do you think it will be a while before they can get us out?" Phoebe asked her feral friend who just shook her head in response.

Bryce had been watching Troy and Max for several minutes from a distance with his brow furrowed. They had begun to argue about a story that Ruby had brought up that happened to involve Shylow.
"I'm sick and tired of hearing about your Ex!" Troy growled at the younger lowly. Even from a distance Bryce could see Max's Adams apple bounce as he swallowed slow and nervously.
"Baby I'm sorry!" Max spoke softly trying to hush the conversation, "I'll ask them not to bring him up ok?" He added hoping to appease the other boy. Troy rolled his eyes in response before grabbing Max by the arm roughly. Clearly caught off guard Max enabled his phasing and quickly pulled his arm back. He took a step back and looked at the older boy nervously.
Troy gritted his teeth and snatched the other forward by his arm again.
Bryce began to walk forward when he heard the angered boy speak again.
"What the hell is your problem today?" He began, rolling his eyes when Max grimaced in slight pain "Oh calm down you know that didn't hurt!" He barked in a hushed tone at the blonde boy.
"It did a little…" Max whispered hearing the other sigh loudly and shove his arm back.
"Whatever!" He retorted heading back over toward the area where Ruby was supposed to be waiting for them. Bryce saw him coming and darted back over to his girlfriend with a look of anger on his face. She began to asked him what was wrong when the other two rejoined them at the table they were sitting at.
Max's face was beat red and he looked as though he might cry. Troy on the other hand looked as nothing had happened before peaking over at Max and sighing loudly, he wrapped his arm around the younger boy's shoulder who shuddered slightly and went to rest his head at the other's collar bone.

"So how've you and Bobby been?" Blake asked her thermo friend who had went from leaning against the wall to lying back with her head on her folded arms.
"Alright… It's been almost a whole year since what happened to us last spring break you know…" She replied seeing the other nod over.
"Yeah that was scary… we were all really worried about you…" Blake told her sympathetically.
"I heard you guys went to a party without me last year!" She commented causing the dark haired girl to laugh.
"Yeah… yeah we did!" Blake agreed with a fond chuckle remembering the events of that evening and blushing when the highlight of her evening came to mind.
"Ruby told me that she thought something happened with you and Iron Man?" Phoebe questioned getting silence from the other, "What did you sleep with him or something?" She asked and again got no audible response.
She peaked up to see the other girl blushing and looking away. Her eyes went wide as she scrambled back to a seated position.
"Holy Shit you did not!" She stated seeing the dark haired girls face getting redder by the second, "Shut up!" Phoebe exclaimed seeing Blake quickly begin to look around.
"You can't tell anybody that!" She quickly stated, "Not only could it get him in trouble but there are people who don't need to know that about me personally ok!" She added seeing Phoebe raise a brow.
"I thought you and Quicksilver were still together then?" She commented seeing Blake giving her and wide eyed look, "Are you serious? And you haven't told him?" She asked hearing the other sigh.
"No but I will eventually!" She added before asking if the other would keep it to herself.
