It's hot. Much too hot. Renee's eyes winced open as she tried to move away from the heat and found herself being held firm against the offending source of discomfort. What the….Oh. She blushed as her eyes traveled up the arms pinning her to the sleeping woman next to her. She looks so peaceful. She thought as she carefully detangled herself from vice grip around her. Pants. Now where is my sweater? She quietly looked around the dimly lit room for her clothing as she looked back at the bed, a small smile tugged at her lips. She quickly pulled her clothes on and sat down on the bed to put on her boots. Renee's hand paused slightly before brushing the loose hairs from Natalie's face. She leaned forward pressing her lips lightly against her lover's forehead before leaving.
The walk home took a matter of minutes as she smiled closing her door quietly reaching up and gasping. Shit. I forgot my scarf. She frowned as she locked the front door. She slowed down as the sound of laughter caught her attention. She rounded the corner to the living room and glared. "I took that key you had. How the….What the hell are you doing here?" She crossed her arms as brown eyes connected with her angry blue ones. "I wanted to see how your date went, but you weren't here so I figured I would wait around for you to get home. I got bored so the tv happened and here we are." Elliot laughed nervously. Renee sat down next to the invader, "You have got to stop breaking into my house." She turned to look at him frowning at the look in his eyes. "What is that?" Elliot pointed at her neck. Renee blushed at the attention. "Nothing." She ground out. "It's something alright, your date went that well?" Elliot busted into laughter at his friends blush. "I'm going to kill you." She pushed off the couch as Elliot took off towards the door. "You better keep your mouth shut, Elliot." She yelled. "I can keep a secret." He responded as he slipped through the door. Everyone will know before their first cup of coffee. She sighed as she walked back towards the shower.
Walking onto the drop ship Wraith smiled at Wattson who was already talking to the new legend, Loba, she stopped short when Wattson didn't return her smile. She shrugged it off and walked forward to sat next to Wattson, "Good thing I'm wearing my quarantine outfit this match because I forgot my scarf at your house." She quietly said with a smirk. "I know." Wattson curtly replied. Is she mad? Wraith's mouth opened but nothing came out. *We told you that you would mess this up.* The voices echoed in her head. The drop ship lifted into the air towards the games. "Air base sounds fun. Want to go there?" Loba suggested as Wattson nodded. "Air base it is." Wraith launched the squad towards the hot zone.
They landed at the beginning of the air strip and started opening crates to get kitted. Wraith found a white armor and a knockdown shield in the first crate, but no success in finding a weapon. "Fuck, need a gun." Wraith called out, but was surprised when she looked up and nobody was around. Gun fire starts to ring out, "Phasing." Wraith disappears towards the zipline to get to where her team pushed. She dismounted the zipline as her phase ended and was surprised by what she heard. "I owe you one, beautiful." Loba winked at Wattson. "Tres bien" Wattson replied with a smile. Wraith's brow furrowed as she walked up. "There are shooters in the area." She stated as her team looked up at her ping across the air base. "Yes. Activating jump drive." Loba said as her ring bounced off in the distance. "Great." Wraith grumbled as she turned to see Wattson already chasing after Loba. She took off in the direction of her team coming up short as Loba went down. You're not safe there. The voices warned. She moved to the building towards Wattson who was setting up fences. "There are three squads here." She called out as she slid into the building. "We have to get to Loba." Wattson called out as she set her pylon down. "Setting a portal." Wraith called as she pushed out into the open. emShooter! Move!em The voices urged. "Void-running" She called out as she pushed into the phase. "Portal's ready." She pinged it as loba crawled forward disappearing into the void. She stepped into the void and glared as Wattson helped Loba up. "Aren't you sweet. Thank you." Loba smiled at Wattson who blushed. The enemy team pushed forward shooting into the small building. "Climb up there." Wraith pointed at the shelves in the room. Traps. "There's a caustic!" She called out, but too late as the green smoke began to fill the room. emShit./em She pushed into a phase to try to avoid the choking gas, and was successful in her escape. To her horror she heard Wattson choking as the notification of the new legend's banner was ready to be retrieved. Wraith turned towards a deathbox on the ground and pulled a havok and just enough ammo out of it. I guess this will do for now. She smiled as she pushed back into the fight downing the team inside. "Thanks." Wattson said as she applied meds. Wraith picked up the new legends banner, "The ring is closing, we have to go." She called out as she walked out the door towards the respawn beacon.
Wattson eagerly walked up to the respawn beacon to insert Loba's banner. Loba fell to the ground in a graceful spin. "I've got you falling for me already." Loba smirked. "No, It looks like you're the one falling for me, Get it?" Wattson giggled as Wraith saw red. "Are you kidding me." She whispered under her breath. After respawning Loba the legends were almost silent until they next town. "Setting up shop." Loba called out as she threw her cane into the ground. "That's amazing." Wattson smiled as she walked up to the glowing diamond. "I guess." Wraith grumbled. Loba smirks as Wattson walks away into the next building, "What's the matter? You have a thing for this electrician?" Wraith halted and turned her head towards Loba, "It's none of your business." She replied as a blush spread across her face. Loba heartily laughed as she walked towards Wattson. "I'm looking for some light ammo if you find any extra." Loba sweetly asked Wattson. "Here I have an extra box of it." She hands her the ammo as Wraith walks up. "Thanks beautiful, you really know how to treat a lady." She seductively replies. "Don't sound so shocked, get it?" Wattson laughs. "You have got to be fucking kidding me." Wraith clinched her fist as her void energy danced around her arm. "I'm going over there." Wraith gritted her teeth as she took off towards the next building. Loba targets the bunker across the way, "Enemies over there." She calls out as she takes off with Wattson running close behind her. "No, Wait." Wraith calls out but it's too late. Grenades and thermite explode as they turn the corner. Wraith pushed herself to run faster as it was announced that both her teammates were downed. "Fuck." She slid into the bunker with her Prowler already firing, but Mirage smiled as his havoc beamed her. "Squad eliminated."
Renee tapped the counter for another drink. "Whiskey neat." She called out as Elliot reluctantly poured her another glass as a smile spread on his face. "You're not sore about losing are you?" He laughed as Wraith glared daggers at him. She opened her mouth to respond when Natalie's giggle pulled her attention towards the other end of the bar. Renee's eyes narrowed as Loba leaned towards Natalie to brush a loose hair from her face. Wraith stood up as the blush darkened on Natalie's face. She walked up with her fists clenched and opened her mouth to say something as Loba smirked at her. "You know what nevermind." She turned and left. Natalie's brow furrowed. She stood and weaved around Loba as she walked towards the bar, "Why is she mad at me? I'm the one who should be mad at her." She asked Elliot whose head was shaking. "I'll give you three guesses." She followed his eyes that were focused on Loba. "What about her?" She asked as his jaw dropped. "You cannot be that...Have you watched the playback of your game yet? Because Renee was a lot more nice than I would have been." He waited as it dawned on her. "What does that mean?" Natalie asked. "How about next time you and Loba get a room." He laughed as she blushed. "I was just trying to be, how do you say? To feel welcomed." She replied. Elliot guffawed, "I think you did that a little too well, Don't you think." He said as he pointed at Loba who was fast approaching. She jumped as Loba leaned on the bar next to her, "How about we go back to my place?" She smirked as Natalie jumped up. "I have to go." She quickly exited the bar. "I have to fix this." She whispered as she quickly ran towards home.
