After spending the rest of the day resting in my dorm room, I woke to find myself being stared at by one green eye and a pair of orange eyes. As I blinked slowly, trying to focus and figure out just who was staring at me I heard a chuckle.
"See she's fine. Now what, Shock?" Jason asked as I sat up, rubbing at my eyes and I managed a grin as he moved over and sat beside me.
"Have you two been staring at me the whole time I've been asleep?" I asked as I yawned and I noticed a slight blush appear on Jason's cheeks and my eyes narrowed. "Okay that's just a little weird."
"I've only been here a few minutes." Jason protested just before I burst out laughing, leaving Shock and Naught staring at me. "And what's so funny?" He grumbled and when I stopped laughing, only because my side started to hurt, I gave him a grin.
"I was just joking. Lighten up." I replied as I climbed off the bed and stood, stretching my aching legs and he shook his head at me. "Geeze I was just messing with you." I sighed as I walked towards the door, only for Shock to shoot towards the door and block my path.
"No you don't. You're supposed to be resting." Shock told me, crossing his arms and I frowned at him before I not so gently pushed him aside. "Jessie what do you think you're doing?"
"I think I'm leaving this dorm and getting some fresh air." I growled and he stared at me, his green eye going wide as I grabbed the doorknob and forced the door open. As I disappeared into the hallway Shock rolled his eye before he followed me, leaving Jason to shake his head.
"And I'm left to chase after you. Wonderful. Maybe I should rethink this relasionship." Jason complained before he climbed off the bed and followed, closing the door behind him. Taking his time, Jason soon found me leaning against a wall a short distance from my dorm and as he stepped closer he saw that I was panting a little.
"I told you you should be resting, not wandering around." Shock said and I fixed him with a glare that soon vanished as I gritted my teeth, my cracked rib throbbing. When he saw the pain etched into my face and the way I was holding my hand against my side, Jason sighed and after rolling his eyes he joined us.
"Listen to the Ultralink, he knows what he's talking about." Jason said and I raised my head to give him a glare. Though I was still gasping from pain and he shook his head at me. "Come on, let's get you back to the dorm and..." Before he had time to finish I moved out of range, leaving my friends to stare as I growled at them.
"I'm not going back there!" I shouted, ignoring the looks of several N-Tek agents and as I turned around completely focused on leaving the building, I didn't realize that my friends were following me. "Back off!" I shouted, whirling around just as Jason set his hand down on my shoulder and as my eyes flared he narrowed his eyes at me. Angry and in pain I lashed out at Jason but he just pushed me backwards, unbalancing me. At the same time he transformed to his mecha suit and I swung a fist at his arm, which he instantly blocked and he grabbed my hand in his. When he tightened his grip I gasped, fighting back but I was too angry and not thinking clearly.
"Stop freaking out and stay still!" Jason shouted at me and I cringed, still annoyed though as my eyes stopped glowing all I could feel was the constant ache in my side. "Now are you calm or do I have to keep defending myself?" Jason asked and I gave him a tired grin before I fell. Jason released my hand at the same time catching me in his arms as Shock called for a doctor, both shocked by my outburst and subsequent collapse. "Jessie, speak to me." He whispered as he lifted me into his arms and I mumbled something incoherant.
"I don't wanna...go to school...today." I mumbled and that brought a slight grin to his face as one of N-Tek's doctors rushed over. A short time later I found myself sitting on a Medical Bay bed, a silly grin on my face for no apparent reason as my blood pressure was checked.
"She's going to be fine. Just get her to take it easy." Doctor told us and I shook my head at him, not liking that idea. "Doctor's orders." He added, giving me a frown and I sighed, giving him a slight nod. Though once he left I pouted, chin resting on my knees as I glared at the door.
"Why do I get the feeling you're not going to listen?" Shock said before Jason could, giving me a frown as he hovered in front of me. "Jessie, are you even listening?"
"I don't want to stay indoors. Its not my fault that I got hurt, I was protecting you." I complained as I sat there and Jason frowned, annoyed at being blamed. But before he could object Shock flew over and tugged him towards the doorway. Surprised Jason followed and when they were out of earshot the Ultralink spoke.
"Jessie doesn't mean to blame you." Shock explained and Jason rubbed the bridge of his nose, trying to calm himself. "Being inside for this long makes her...uneasy."
"Fine then I'll let her vent I suppose. Is she always this...moody?" Jason asked and Shock chuckled as he looked over at me for a moment.
"Sadly yes though usually she's a lot more fun than this. Getting hurt does put a damperner on her mood." Shock explained and Jason grinned at he looked at me, my eyes now closed and my breathing a little slower.
I know that I can be annoying when I'm ticked off about something, eg; being injured and sidelined. But I was just feeling useless and wanting someone to vent my frustration on, who just happened to be Jason and Shock. The latter was used to my outbursts though I knew Jason hadn't quite figured out that I was only angry at myself, well Dredd too since he'd cracked my rib, so I was kind of worried he might be reconsidering our new non-lethal relasionship. Though as I soon discovered he was a little more laid back then I'd known him to be.
Without having the constant threat of being attacked for making a mistake, Jason seemed right at home at N-Tek and as he helped Berto search for Dredd, he found his mind wandering to thoughts of me and how I was feeling. Right then I was curled up and deeply asleep in the Medical Bay and when he smiled briefly Berto rolled his eyes.
"You really like her, don't you?" Berto asked and Jason frowned slightly, a little embarassed that the younger scientist had seem him grin. "Heh you can tell me."
"If you think a whiny, out of control girl's a match for me." Jason replied, his arms crossed and a slight smirk on his lips. Getting an amused grin and a nod from Berto, Jason chuckled.
"Who's out of control?" I asked and Jason cringed, slowly turning to find me leaning against the doorway to Berto's lab. As I walked over I narrowed my eyes at him and at his left, Berto rolled his eyes.
"What about the whiny part?" Shock asked as I stood in front of Jason, crossing my arms as I looked into his face.
"I didn't mean whiny, what I meant to say was..." Jason began, looking a little worried until I giggled and playfully punched his shoulder.
"I'm just playing with you. I know I'm whiny...well maybe not that word but I am stuck inside and even you'd go a little stir crazy after more than a day." I replied and he shook his head at me, relief clear on his face. "What, did you think I'd hit you or something?"
" Guess I'm use to Master Dredd standing over me and threatening me." Jason answered and I sighed, feeling a little sorry that I'd tricked him.
"Yeah I keep forgetting that. Sorry Jason." I said and he smiled at me, clearly happy I'd been the one apologizing. Just for a few seconds I forgot that Shock and Berto were present, more focused on Jason's great smile and well, Jason himself. Of course then Berto had to ruin it by letting out a cough and I shook my head, hoping that I wasn't blushing. Though Jason's sudden laughter confirmed my worse fears and even Berto and Shock had a grin on their faces. "Its not funny guys." I complained, my voice almost inadible against Jason's laughter.
A while later I was sitting inside Berto's lab as he and my boyfriend (that sounds really weird) talking about something that I left me completely clueless. Obviously I didn't have the same scientific mind that they shared and as they talked, and talked about whatever it was I began to zone out. Right up until my head shot up, confused as to why I was being stared at by Jason.
"I knew it. You fell asleep again, didn't you?" He asked as I sat up, rubbing my eyes and I pouted a little as he straightened. "Doesn't matter anyway...you wouldn't have understood so its no great loss." He added, watching in amusement as I glared at him, rising to give him a piece of my mind. Which I never got to do when he stepped forward, closing the slight gap between us and as his lips pressed against mine the words died in my throat.
While he'd been waiting patiently for me to wake up, Jason had been planning this little experiment to see just how interested I really was in him. And now he was finding the results as his mouth opened a little more and when the kiss suddenly became open-mouthed I reached around, gripping his jacket tightly in my fists and kissing him back fiercely. We broke apart a short time later, me taking a breath as Jason looked on with a grin. Then he pushed his palm against the spot directly below my chest and before I could react he pinned me against the wall, shocking me into silence. Until he lent forward and the second his lips brushed my throat I found my resistance fading, especially when he started kissing my throat. Soon my eyes closed, liking the way he kissed and as he sped up Jason wondered why I wasn't resisting.
By now Jessie would be pushing me aside and storming off in a huff so why isn't she, Jason wondered before he nibbled my throat and hearing the groan that escaped from my lips he silently laughed. She's actually enjoying this...then let's see how far I can go before I'm pushed away. Choosing another tactic Jason lent closer to my left ear, removing his hand from my stomach and when his tongue darted into my ear I groaned. For a moment he paused and stared at me just as my face flushed and that threw him.
"Why are we...doing this?" I groaned, eyes closed tight and he blinked then gave me a slight grin. My eyes opened in shock as I felt him reach around me and grasp my backside, one cheek in each hand and as I stared into his eyes I saw something new there. Desire. So confused I didn't speak, instead only watching as he lent forward and used his body to pin me against the wall of the lab.
I just kept staring, my mouth in my throat and he gave me a smile that seemed different somehow before I gasped. I glanced down then and blushed furiously when I noticed that his groin was now pressed against my own. "Jason?" I whispered and he stared into my eyes, thinking that maybe he'd gone too far in his experiment. Then something deep inside caused him to grind his groin against mine. As he gently ground against me, one leg pressed against my own so I couldn't slip away, he watched for my reaction. He was expecting a cry of outrage, possibly before I shoved him to the floor. He wasn't expecting my reaction to be so...heated. Instead of pushing him away I reached forward and drapped my arm around his neck, yanking his face towards my own and kissing me hungrily. Once the shock wore off Jason kissed me back, moving his groin against mine even faster and in seconds we were both groaning. If Shock hadn't suddenly appeared, curious about all the noise I don't know just how far we would have taken this but when he yelled at us, both our heads snapped up. Which immediately broke whatever spell we were under and we both stared at each in confusion before we untangled ourselves and Jason hurriedly left, his face just as red as mine.
What was I about to do, Jason wondered as he put as much distance between himself and me as he could. Did I just...lose control of myself? Muttering to himself Jason decided to distance himself from me, just in case something like that happened again.
