If you are the kind to take an interest - I will describe it in the same careful detail in which I like to remember it. It starts in the middle like this; there was a particular interaction that marked a change within our relationship, and consequently within me.
She had called to offer her condolences but her real purpose was to assess my progress with our current mission. I appreciated the message of condolence, which was in fact genuine, but having been at the pointy end of Agent Ava Sharpe's 'concern' numerous times, I was able to head her off at the pass. This was a small but valuable point to have gained - if only I could have known how quickly I was going to spend it. It remains the best investment of my life.
Thankfully I stumbled, I admitted that I could use an outside perspective. It was not part of the plan, I still don't know quite what I was shooting for but wow! did I hit the jackpot. Agent Sharpe must have had a few spare minutes that afternoon, perhaps she took pity on me - or maybe that level twelve anachronism really did have running scared because while I was waiting for her answer she had teleported directly into my office.
I heard the portal sizzle open, I turned to see her stepping into the room and when she hit a button on her time courier it immediately crackled closed. I will never forget how obviously my eyes dragged up the entire length of her body - her legs went on forever. And that was only half of it. She smiled at me, eyes shining, I swear she looked right through me and asked "Alright, what's the plan?" No shit, I could have died happy right then and there.
It sounds unbelievable, believe me, I know. But unless you have been looked at by Ava - you can never fully appreciate the devastating effect. The gut wrenching, heart stopping, life changing effect. If she was unaware of the sheer power of her sex appeal in those days, she certainly is now. I spent the next two years on the verge of serious injury, my heart constantly recovering from her looks and my other parts recovering from her flirtatious touches. She came to understand her effect on me, if not others - I have seen the carnage!
Of course I had long noticed that she was uncommonly attractive, I mean she could have been a model, really. Her features became even more prominent when she ceased wearing her hair in that knot at the back of her head, tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, a really gorgeous smile, she is in peak physical condition and if her superpower is not death by gaze it surely is hypnosis by saunter. I can't estimate the hours I have lost watching her walk from one room to another and the weeks I have lost recalling it. The fact that you think I am overdoing it right now - is not on you, or me - it's just so rare for one person to pack so much heat.
Anyway, it was this moment that marked the change in our interaction; the day before we were sworn adversaries and the day after we were allies with a rather obvious sexual attraction. That day, Ava had joined the Legends for our mission, and damn if doesn't look just as appealing as a norse viking as she does in anything else. I didn't need her verbal confirmation that she wasn't the husband kind, but I tucked it away regardless, like a little treasure to be brought out occasionally and pored over. Well, the mission was successful and the rest as they say is history.
There were a few hiccups actually getting together, and in the early days staying together. Our first date illustrates this well; it was going really well, then turned to hell but ended up freaking awesome.
