A/N: I only own OCs.
Quinn POV
We were up slightly early the next day. I didn't realize that I would be this sore after yesterday. I guess when my body finally decided to relax it was too late, because everything ached. I sat up and John shifted beside me. I looked over and he ran his hands over his face.
"You ok?" I asked him and he nodded.
"You?" he asked me.
"Sore." I admitted and I stretched. I felt everything pop and crack.
"Old." he said and I slapped him and he laughed at my reaction.
"Shut up, you're not exactly young yourself." I shot back as he kept laughing at me. We were interrupted by a knock on the door. I shared a look at John as he slipped out of the bed. I grabbed a towel to cover my scars. He opened the door to find Paul and Stephanie; he moved to the side and let them in.
"Are you two ok?" she asked us. I nodded, but they were all giving me weird looks.
"What?" I asked them suddenly conscious of what they were staring at; I turned and looked in the mirror. I had a huge bruise down my shoulder and over my neck. I remember getting hit with debris, but I didn't think any of it had done that. I also saw various burns that I probably got when I was covering John.
"They seriously don't hurt." I said and they still didn't look convinced.
"At least you know why you're sore." John said and I nodded.
"We are going to send you two home or to wherever you want for a week. We have investigators looking at the bus… it was just maintenced so we are making sure no accidents happened for a reason." Paul said and we nodded. Stephanie held out two bags; they were clothes.
"We got sizes from the costume department." she said and I nodded because she already knew what I was going to ask.
"Use the WWE credit card to get a flight to where you need or want to go. We will see you all in a week." Paul said and they turned to leave.
"Call if you need anything." Stephanie said and we nodded.
"Where are you going?" I asked John. I knew that they were looking at the bus after what Nikki had sent to John. I didn't blame them, but I hoped that she wasn't that stupid. He shrugged in response to my question.
"I have a spare bedroom." I said and he smiled at me.
"Thanks, Q. I promise to even cook." he said and I laughed. He was a decent cook, but I didn't know if I wanted my kitchen burned down around us.
John POV
We got a flight to D.C. I hadn't been to Quinn's new condo. I had seen her old place; it was so basic. I hoped that since she wasn't an agent anymore she had improved on her taste. We took the subway to Bethesda; we didn't have clothes or anything with us, so it was the quickest way to her home.
"Do you like it here?" I asked her as we were walking down the sidewalk to a nice neighborhood.
"Yeah, better than the Virginia side." she said and I nodded as we stopped in front of a quint two store house. I looked at her strange.
"I said I got a new place… not a new condo." she said and I laughed as she unlocked the door. The house was nicely decorated and it suited her.
"Bedrooms are upstairs." she said and I nodded.
"I don't exactly have anything to put in it." I said and she started laughing.
"Shopping after a nap?" she asked me and I nodded.
We ended up falling asleep in her living room while the TV drowned out the rest of the world. I don't know why, but it was easy for me to be comfortable around her. I was never like this around Nikki; I never fell asleep on her couch or my couch once she moved in with me.
I was awoken to someone moving around. Quinn was sitting up on her laptop.
"Didn't mean to wake you." she said as I looked around. We had slept longer than planned because the light was fading outside.
"Hungry?" she asked me and I nodded as I stretched. I was sore. I followed her into the kitchen as she opened the freezer. I saw a few items, but judging by the face she made it wasn't anything she wanted to eat.
"We can go out." I said as there was a knock at the door. We exchanged a look as she reached into a drawer and pulled out a gun. The old Quinn was already back.
"I didn't order anything or invite anyone over." she said as she stalked towards her front door. She looked in the peephole and quickly tucked the gun into the chair beside the door. She opened the door and Chris was standing there. Chris was her old partner. I wasn't surprised to see him; I swear he was in love with her.
"Chris." she said and hugged him. She always looked so comfortable around him or at least at ease around him.
"Hey, I saw you were home. Am I interrupting anything?" he asked her as I stepped into the room so he could see she wasn't alone. I wasn't sure why, but I didn't care for this guy.
"No, John and I were going to eat." she said and he nodded.
"I am meeting some people at the Irish pub. You up for it?" he asked her and looked at me. She looked at me; she was looking for our sign. I nodded and she smiled.
"Meet you when?" she asked him.
"An hour?" he said and we both nodded. He left and she turned to look at me.
"Still don't like him?" she asked me as I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Nope." I said.
