Apologies
"It's a little late for apologies, Adrian," Alex huffed, pushing past him, looking at him like he was insane for even attempting to apologize. Adrian looked at his assistant to leave the two alone, the rain pouring down on them. Alex didn't talk to Adrian at the Comedian's funeral. They stood there, Adrian's private car waiting for him. Alex began to walk away in the torrential rain. "Alex..." Adrian called after her exasperadedly, but she cut him off and called over her shoulder, "Your car's waiting for you."
Arrogance
"I can't fucking believe you." She said, frantically packing a bag of the clothes so she could get out of their apartment before the tears started to pour. Adrian exasperadedly watched her, grabbing her forearm and said, "Alex, stop." She snapped back and said, "Why? You're going to reveal yourself. You don't even care that the Watchmen are falling apart."
Gentleman
His blond hair styled, black jacket and matching pants with a dark purple tie, expensive cufflings, expensive shoes. Alex sighed as she approached him, the waitress leading her to the table. Typical Adrian, always attempting to impress people who already loved him.
Stubborn
Everyone met Alex, the youngest and newest member of the Watchmen. The Comedian smirked at her. He jokingly punched the blond man in the shoulder and said, "Hey, Ozy. Say hi to the kid." The blond turned around and they locked glances. Alex's blood ran cold, her heart beating fast.
Fighting
"Seriously?" Alex huffed, throwing on Adrian's old shirt to cover herself up. She got up off the bed in her underwear and his shirt, Adrian scrambling after her, grabbing her by the waist with his speed, "Alex, you need to..." Alex glared at him, "Relax? Adrian, you won't even break Rorschach out. If you think it's such an insane idea, send me over to Antarctica, Adrian. Have your scientists poke at me. I mean, you spend enough time working there already." She stormed off, slamming the bathroom door behind her. Adrian sighed; why was she always so hard to control?
Blushing
Alex blushed as she twirled the spoon in the cup. She felt Adrian's glance on her and she looked up at him. She was just getting to know him. "So, you're...fast, huh?" She asked. Adrian smirked at her, "Fast enough to catch a bullet." Alex smiled up at him, blushing.
Overruled
"You fucking lied to me! I trusted you." Alex yelled at him. "It was for the better, Alex. You should know that." Adrian walked up the steps cockily. The only thing she wanted to do now was to hit him so hard it would knock the smartness out of his fucking head.
Realization
Laurie and Dan left, Alex declining their offer. She looked at Adrian. He looked at her, with a look that said he didn't blame her if she left him beaten right there. He looked defeated, exhausted. Alex reached up and kissed him. He seemed slightly surprised by her actions but gripped her waist and kissed her bottom lip. As Alex kissed him, she realized that not even Adrian Veidt, the smartest man in the world, was able to fix it. The Comedian had been right...the world was a joke.
Reputation
"Mr. Veidt, how does it feel to be the most intelligent man in the world?" The reporter asked him. He smirked and ran a hand through his blond hair, "Well, I don't know if I would call me the mostintelligent man." The other reporters chuckled at his charm. Adrian saw Dan Dreiberg coming into his office, followed by Alex Nolan. "How does it feel to have everything in the world?" Another reporter asked him. Adrian looked at Alex, who was looking away, "I really don't have everything."
