Even with that semi-awkward (only at times) sexual tension between the pair of them, these last few weeks had been incredible, but just like everything else in the world, there had to be an end, and it came so much quicker than anyone could have anticipated...

After going fishing with Dave Lizewski, Marcus had found out about what Mindy was really up to, and he made her promise that she was done with everything - Hit Girl, training, and even Dave... More than anything else, she was a woman of her word, so she quit cold turkey, although Dave wasn't so easy a habit to kick (ok, well neither was Hit Girl, since that was who Mindy had been practically since birth). It hurt more than any injury sustained on the field, but some part of her knew that it was for the best... Dave was... It just wasn't something that she should pursue.

On the other side of that coin, Dave was fairly vocal about being - as Katie had put it in her final words to him - 'dumped' by Mindy. He thought that they had had a good thing going (besides the whole wanting her thing), and her sudden refusal to work with him anymore was completely out-of-the-blue. Not to mention the fact that it fucking hurt to just hear her one day tell him that she basically didn't want to see him anymore. He asked her why she retired Hit Girl, and she told him that she had promised Marcus, going to great pains to explain in detail (via text), but when he inquired as to why she didn't even want him to text her unless it was important, she didn't really have an answer waiting for him. She just wanted to make this whole thing easier on herself, and talking to Dave would only have the opposite effect, but she just couldn't bring herself to tell him that. All she could do was apologize.

Blindsided as he was - he died a little on the inside when he lost Mindy - Dave did find one silver-lining in the situation, and that was Justice Forever. He had a team now, but without Hit Girl, it just wasn't the same. Not even Night Bitch could make up for the empty place left by Mindy's absence, but she did make one hell of a distraction!

Goody for him... Poor Mindy couldn't find a single thing to distract herself from Dave, and the minute that that slutty bitch Brooke showed her that 'Union J' video, the first thought in her mind was not of the boy (or was it boys?) on the screen, but of her Robin. Great, so not only was she getting turned on like any other teenage girl, but it was to a guy that five seconds ago they were talking about her doing all manner of things with!

But as gratingly slow as their lives were going (or blurry in Dave's case), they were unable to shake themselves of the feeling that someone was missing from the picture. But still, life went on...

[Some Short While After The Killing Of John Genovese... ]

Well, it went on for most people. After losing their fathers, Javier and Angie came back for the kids, but seeing this as the opportunity that she had been waiting for, Angie decided to take her son away, to someplace quiet; but there was a catch - Javier couldn't bring his niece. Any other time he might have agreed with sending the girl back to her mother, but the kids had both been through a traumatic experience, and they needed each other right about now, because they could relate and help each other work through this mess. He tried to fight for her, but Angie put her foot down, telling him it was not up for debate, not so long as he cared being employed. Emily told him to go, that Chris needed him more than she did.

It was the hardest decision she had ever made, but she made it for Chris...

Too bad it was just a colossal waste of time.

I swear, I wish that I could capture even half of what Dave and Mindy actually have! I can't even begin to try to describe it in person though, so fat chance that I'll do their relationship justice. At least with this I can focus on one aspect of it (maybe its just me, but Dave and Mindy are just the best pairing!) And its funny, but I think this story actually has more Katie Deauxma in it than the entire second movie! Oh, snap! I just realized that Jim Carrey is not only in Justice Forever, but was once in Batman Forever! Lol, the random things I notice! Just like when I was watching Kick-Ass 2 again, I realized that *possible spoiler alert* when Dave's working out by himself at the end of the movie, you see an updated mask that's all hard and shiny and stuff, and there are blueprints of some kind, but it ended before I could look at what they might be for. *end* Ok, so that really didn't have anything but theory in it, but since that scene's at the end (although in a place when Nada happens visually (unless you count some serious sexy)), I felt it kind to warn anyone reading this that may not have seen the movie yet. Don't get me wrong, I am so pro villain, but Ben - I'm sorry, but Savages was my first Aaron Taylor-Johnson flick, so he is always going to be Ben to me - is freaking all shades of smexy! Seriously. Red Mist!

You know, I actually thought that a future chapter for this story (possibly the next one in fact) was going to be one of the shortest chapters I'd ever post, but somehow, I managed to write another! Well, don't worry, I don't think it's a trend - just the end of 'The Real You'. I know, only three issues! I can't help it! I love Dave and Mindy, but for the last few days now, I just haven't been able to come up with anything for them! Not at this juncture... Well, I was toying with a couple of scenes that happen later in the movie, but my first choice might change a lot in the story... Ok, fuck it, you convinced me! I'll work on an altered take of the date-ditch scene!

This is only at the bottom because I was getting ready to post this chapter when I noticed it! Finally, another review! So thank you very much ryt-'nd-Run13! And to you too, al3xand8, for answering the pleas of one author! As al3xand8 pointed out, I should indicate that the sex scene I mentioned was in 'Red Kick'. So if you don't read/like that stuff, you don't have to wonder where it happened. Well, I think that should do it... Oh, and if you can find the time, please review!
