Chapter Four.
Danger pinned several more pedestrians to a wall with binding yolk, preventing yet another homicide. Lexi confiscated yet another weapon and demolished it using a brain blast. They quickly regrouped, standing back to back as the crazed citizens once again focused their attention on them. The two of them had been at this almost nonstop ever since the restaurant, and were beginning to feel more than just a bit fatigued.
They had left a rather impressive trail of immobilized citizens and destroyed weapons as they made their way towards the tower. But with all the stops they had made to prevent numerous horrific deeds from taking place, they were barely even halfway there. It was beginning to look as if they might not make it at all.
Suddenly, just as things were beginning to look as grim as they could possibly get. A strange wave of energy began emitting from the top of the tower in all directions. Though undeniably drained, the two of them suddenly felt as if all their worries had simply melted away completely.
The crowd slowly started to disperse, wandering off to who knows where as Danger and Lexi sank to the ground exhaustedly, sitting back to back as they caught their breath.
"Well, that was certainly an interesting first date." Danger quipped, still sounding a bit winded.
"We should try it again sometime." Lex said, a bit breathless as well. "Maybe without the mass psychotic outbreak and the near death experiences though." She added.
"Works for me." Danger said.
They both resumed simply catching their breath for a bit.
"Danger..." Lex began, a bit less breathless this time. "Do you love me?" She asked.
"Honestly?" Danger asked.
"Yeah, honestly." Lex replied.
"Well, our relationship only just recently started, so I'm really not too sure just yet." Danger said. "At the same time, I really can't imagine us not being together at this point. And just now, when it seemed like we might not make it, I was more concerned about what might happen to you than what could've happened to me. And I can honestly say it's not the first time I've felt that way about you. But would you call that love?" He asked.
"Maybe." Lex said.
"Then I guess I maybe love you." Danger said. He then paused and thought for a second. "What about you?" He asked. "How do you feel about me?"
"Well, like you said, our relationship only just recently started, so I really can't be sure just yet either. But I definitely feel something for you. And I know I don't want it to end. So I guess I maybe love you too." Lex said.
"Then we're maybe in love." Danger said with a grin.
"Maybe." Lex said, also finding humor in the moment.
With that, they both quietly drifted off to sleep.
(A.N) If I had to give this chapter a title, I would call it, Maybe In Love.
