(A/N:Yeah, I know, this chapter took frickin ages for me to get out. Honestly I just haven't had as much time to write lately. All I can say is that I will continue to try to get these chapters out as fast as I can. *shrug* As for this chapter, it was pretty fun to do, not nearly as angsty as most of the story will probably end up being. Figured Dave and Mindy just had awesome sex, they should have some nice, carefree interaction time. Hope you enjoy. Leave a review either way.)

Mindy awoke with a stretch and was immediately on edge as she realized someone else was in her safehouse. But as soon as she saw Dave doing push ups on the floor, another sensation came over her entirely, as a smile slowly formed on her face.

"Morning…" Dave said, holding himself up, before starting on the push ups again.

"You been up long?" Mindy found herself watching him very intently. He had his pants back on, but he was still topless, making that exercise in particular, very 'fun' to watch. Mindy couldn't help but to think that she wouldn't mind waking up to this every morning, at all. In fact, she was unconsciously licking her lips as she imagined herself under him while he did a very similar exercise.

"What?" Dave asked, noticing the gaze.

"Nothing…" Mindy said, her voice a little dreamy. "Just enjoying the show."

"You've seen me work out before."

"Mmm…" Mindy moaned, "I think you're…underestimating what lack of sex has done to me."

Dave paused in his push ups again as he easily got what Mindy was implying. "Mindy…" He started with a smirk. "You do know if we start this up again…we're pretty much going to be fucking and sleeping the whole day."

Mindy moaned again, leaning forwards, beginning to crawl towards the edge of the bed in Dave's direction. "You say that like it's a bad thing. I could think of worse ways to spend a day." Mindy's smile suddenly got wider. "Think of it as more exercise."

"Mindy…" Dave protested, with a smile, seeing Mindy's pose, as if she were about to pounce.

"What? Exercise is healthy." She purred. "Why? You had other plans today?"

"Well…" Dave got a little thoughtful, before giving up on the push ups and sitting up. "…my plane back home's going to be leaving in a couple of hours…"

"Your…" And then it all hit Mindy like an actual blow. She'd just assumed that everything would go back to the way that it had been between them…just with different aliases…and sex. Lots and lots of exhausting, sweaty, amazing, she's getting wet just thinking about it, sex. But Dave was never actually hers. He had his own life, in his own state. Hell, he might have his own girlfriend. He might be married. Mindy made a face at that thought, as she glanced at the tattoos on his arms. No way he was married, being as fucked up as he was…but he could have an oblivious girlfriend…possibly. Not that Mindy wanted to be his girlfriend, with all the issues they had between them, it was probably safest if they're relationship wasn't defined…and involved lots of sex.

She immediately felt…possessive. Sure the Dave being her bitch thing was kind of a joke but she didn't want to things to just end between them. Even if they could talk on the phone or something that wouldn't be enough. Mindy knew she was being selfish, but after all this time of mostly being by herself, having someone who truly understood her-

Mindy paused all thoughts as she saw the expression on Dave's face. While hers had probably reflected a plethora of emotions, Dave's was merely one of…subtle amusement. Mindy's eyes grew wide as she realized what had just happened. "YOU DICK!" Mindy roared as she chucked the nearest thing she could reach at Dave's face. Luckily it was a pillow and not the knife she always keeps under it. "THAT WASN'T FUNNY!"

Dave smirked a bit as the pillow bounced off of his face. "Oh come on, it was kind of funny. A little mean, I'll admit, but still kind of funny. I didn't know you cared."

"Ugh!" Mindy groaned. She found she loved the way Dave looked at her when she was naked, but she didn't like being exposed to him at emotional levels that deeply. It made her feel…well…like a girl. She didn't spend all this time building her image just to turn into some lovesick puppy when her old friend came back. Not that she was in love or anything. "When are you supposed to be going back?" She grumbled.

Dave raised an eyebrow. "In a couple of hours. I wasn't kidding about that." His grin returned. "I'm just not going to be on the plane. You didn't think I searched for you all these years just to find you and leave, did you?"

"Find me, fuck me, and leave technically." Mindy shot back, a smile forming on her lips as well. She found it very difficult to keep that smile as subdued as it was when she heard not only that Dave wasn't planning on leaving, but the conviction in his voice as he said it. "And technically you only looked for me for a couple of weeks. Not even a month, really."

"Well it wasn't like the fucking thing was planned and for all I knew you were d-…oh stop being such a bitch." Dave grumbled.

Mindy smiled wider. "You started it, bitch." But her smile faltered slightly when she saw that Dave's face was starting to get that guilty expression again. She figured it would be best to quickly change the subject. "So…you're staying for me, huh?" Resuming her crawling once more, Mindy made her way off the bed and started moving towards Dave again.

Dave's expression turned back to a smirk when he saw Mindy prowling again. "Mindy, I was serious about us doing something."

"I do want to do something." Mindy purred as she reached her destination. Dave might have been protesting but his eyes were trailing all over her body as she crawled to him.

"You said you wanted to be normal. Twice." Dave said, trying to keep his composure as Mindy's face got closer to his.

"Mmm, this is normal." Mindy tugged on Dave's earlobe with her teeth, noticing the little shiver that went over him.

"I wanted to go out. I can fuck you senseless when we get back." Dave said, chuckling.

"Or…you could fuck me senseless now…we could get some sleep…go out…kick some ass…come back…fuck some more…and get some more sleep." Mindy's lips moved down to Dave's neck.

Dave turned to caress Mindy's cheek. "That wasn't what I meant by go out. We went out of our ways to get these identities. We should use them. We should go out."

Mindy's head jerked back in surprise. "Dave? Are you asking me out on a date?"

Dave's eyes bulged, and the color rose to his cheeks despite his darker skin tone. "Well…no, not technically…I just thought…since you've pretty much just been Hit Girl full time, you might enjoy just…hanging out."

Mindy smiled at Dave's reaction. "You're…not exactly in the best outfit to be going out in the daytime." Her fingers trailed down Dave's bare chest. "Not that I mind it…" It was funny that she initially didn't like all the changes he'd made to himself, but she was beginning to be quite fond of them.

Dave smirked back at Mindy, looking down her hand, which seemed to be currently exploring his abs. "Well, I figured I could just make my way to the hotel using those old subway tunnels around here." Dave pointed to the map on the far wall.

Mindy turned back and sighed as she saw the map he was pointing at. "Oh…saw that, huh?"

"Not like it was exactly hidden." Dave laughed.

Mindy rolled her eyes. "Well, normally I'm the only one here, so I rarely have to hide anything." She then sighed again. "We really aren't going to have sex again, are we?"

Dave couldn't hide his laughter again. "You're a horny little thing, aren't you?"

Mindy grinned and forcefully pulled Dave into a kiss. "You're really reeeeeeeally underestimating that lack of sex thing. If those pants weren't so fucking hard to take off, I'd have had my way with you already."

Dave kissed her back before standing up. "There will be plenty of time for that later. Now get dressed…its distracting."

Mindy flashed her best Cheshire Cat grin, purposely stretching so Dave could see more of her, and as she was still naked, there wasn't much more left to see. "Why? What's so distracting?"

Dave chose not to look and walked over to the map. "Tell you what, I'll race you to my hotel. I take the tunnels, and you get dressed and see if you can find it, topside."

Mindy turned and made a face. "That's…not exactly fair. I don't know where the fuck your hotel is."

Dave grinned back and pointed at a spot on the map. "Its here. I have to give myself some kind of handicap, don't I? If going through those tunnels is anything like getting here, its going to be a pain in the ass for me."

Mindy couldn't help but to giggle when she thought of how hard it was for him to get through those small spaces. And as she looked at the area, there weren't too many hotels over there. And if Dave was so keen in going in the daytime, it was obviously a secluded area, where he could sneak in and out if he needed to. "Room number?"

"Damn!" Dave grumbled. "Was hoping you wouldn't think to ask that. 103."

"You're on, bitch. What do I get when I win?" Another question suddenly crossed Mindy's mind. "Where are we even going?"

Dave shrugged. "I don't know. It'll be a moot point, since I'm gonna win. But I guess…winner gets one free request that can't be turned down. As for where we're going…eh, somewhere...we'll figure it out later. I get the feeling you need to get out more, and coming from me, that's saying something."

Mindy stuck out her tongue. "Heh, I might have been told that before. Fine, I'll go get dressed." She turned back flashing Dave a smile. "And that newfound confidence of yours is pretty cute. I'm going to enjoy crushing it with my stupidly high heeled boots."

"Uh…Mindy?" Dave asked, suddenly remembering how 'Jessica' dressed. "Uh…do you have anything with pants?"

Mindy stopped on her way to the bedroom, and gave Dave a look. "Yeah, I do have jeans, you ass."

Dave got thoughtful as a smirk crossed his face. "Wait…those are, like…those, stupidly tight, they look like they've been painted onto you jeans aren't they?"

Mindy poked her head out of the room and stuck her tongue out at Dave again. "Those are the ones."

Dave raised an eyebrow. "Mind if I watch you put them on? I've always been curious how you girls get into those things."

"You can if you want. Won't be remotely as sexy and you're picturing in your head."

"Mmm, I can be the judge of that. I'd guess there's a lot of jumping and bouncing involved."

"Oh fuck you, Dave…why are you looking in my closet?"

"Oh you know…just curious if you have anything that actually fits you anymore

"Kiss. My. Ass. I told you, its all part of the disguise."

"Uh huh, oo shiny pants."

"Those are latex. You think the jeans are hard to get on, those things are almost not worth it. They do make my ass look amazing though."

"…do they?"

"…GOD DAMMIT, DAVE!"

"What? I didn't say anything."

"So that wasn't a look of 'I have to see you wearing those pants all day, and I'm going to fuck the Hell out of you when you get back.' that you just showed me?"

"…no, that's pretty on the money."

"Oh fine. But you want me in them, you have to help lube up my thighs."

"…Mindy…I don't think that came out half as threatening as you meant it to."

(A/N: And the "Damaged" Universe is officially introduced. As I said initially, this was going to be the end of the story, but just the who wins the race thing alone, just made it not seem like the end of a story, but the end of a chapter to me. However after this chapter, I will start doing flashbacks so you get more information onto the character's pasts. Probably more on Mindy's side than Dave's, but this story is more from Mindy's perspective anyway so that's part of the reason.

However there's a couple of ways I can do the flashbacks, which will become very important later. What I'll probably start with is having the chapter start with a flashback and then go into the present, most likely with the past in italics and the present normal, and the author's note in bold. I could also just dedicate a chapter to flashbacks and label them as such, but I think that would be more confusing than putting the past and the present into the same chapter. If mixing the two just doesn't work in the same story, I suppose I could do a Damaged story in the present and a Damaged story in the past, but eh…then it'll take even longer to get out because I'll be doing another story. But yeah, let me know what you think works and what you think doesn't.)
