Well Hulloo there! Welcome to chapter four, this one gets a little luke warm but unfortunately it can't get spicy, at least not on THIS website!

Back when the first major Rewrite of this story was post went through a major crackdown involving Mature and Explicit content, with a much stronger focus on same sex and queer sexuality than on straight/opposite sex sexuality. This is why when I started working on this major edit of the story I also chose to start tandem posting on Archive of Our Own.

The Monster Series (and The Prodigal Son spin off series, about Darius and the Agents of P.R.I.M.E.) is uploaded on AO3 with all sexual material intact. If you would like to read these stories as I originally wrote them, go find me 'Lonelybelovid' on AO3 and check them out there!

Blake and Ruby were lounging on the end of Darius' bed, laying back, looking out the window with their heads upside-down. Ignoring the head rush that was setting in, Blake had managed to get into a staring contest with a bird outside. The second story windows of her brother's brownstone home lined up perfectly with the power lines outside, giving them a good view of the birds that were resting.

"So, how's things been with you and Quicksilver?" Ruby asked after a moment, "You both are back together, right?" She added looking over at the other girl.

Blake nodded after a second, not looking over, busy staring on at the bird.

"Yeah, couple weeks after Layla dumped me…" She told the other, "How about you and Bryce?" She asked, stretching her arms, and crossing them over her chest.

"Yeah well… things have gotten, interesting with us lately!" Ruby told the dark-haired girl who frowned in response.

"Like bad interesting?" Blake questioned, hoping that her friends hadn't had some kind of a fight.

"Oh no… not at all!" Ruby replied, smirking to herself.

"Wait seriously?" Blake spoke, finally turning to look at the other girl.

Ruby smirked over at her friend for a moment who raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"When… wait, where?" Blake asked her, remembering that Ruby hadn't been back on campus and that her house was always packed with people.

"Up in Paige and Envy's room… Paige went with me to Jersey a few weeks ago to a clinic, got on the pill!" Ruby told the other as both girls turned, rolling onto their stomachs, and feeling the subsequent draining of blood from their heads.

"Nice…" Blake stated simply, nodding her head.

She and Pietro had fooled around a number of times, but it hadn't progressed much past groping and hand stuff, with the exception of two times where she had gone down on him. She and Layla on the other hand, things had gotten pretty heavy for them one night during their winter break together. Layla and Blake had managed to get away to Darius' old apartment the night before the former flew back to Honolulu. Darius was stuck on a mission with The Captain that night and wasn't going to be home.

"Thinking about that time with Stark?" Ruby asked her with a chuckle, making the other look over with eyes the size of dinner plates.

"What time with Tony Stark?" She countered, shocked, and confused by the question.

"You know in Hawaii; at that party he threw?" Ruby questioned making Blake roll her eyes.

"We didn't sleep together!" Blake threw out, looking a little shocked still.

Did people really think she had slept with Tony, she did drink that night with him but that is as far as that went.

"Sorry… Just assumed!" Ruby told her, shaking her head.

"Well, you know what they say about assuming things!" Blake told her, giving the girl a serious look.

Ruby held out her tongue at that, making the other laugh loudly.

"Ok then Smart ass, who were you thinking about then?" Ruby asked with a chuckle, making Blake look away for a minute, blushing once more.

"Layla…" Blake half whispered, this time making Ruby's eyes go a little wider.

"Oh… Wait when did you guys even get the chance?" Ruby questioned, making the other girl smirk softly.

"The night before she went home for winter break!" Blake told her softly.

"Oh yeah… the night you stayed at DC's old place, right?" the other implored, making Blake nod.

"Yeah, I wasn't really planning for us to sleep together that night, but it was good either way…" She stated honestly.

The two girls looked up in surprise when Darius came walking through the door.

"Who did you sleep with?" He questioned, throwing his duster toward his bed, sighing when it came just short and hit the ground, "Whelp…" He stated making the two younger teens laugh.

"Layla and B got busy at your place last year!" Ruby stated, making Blake turn and give her a look.

"Oh yeah I know that already!" Darius stated simply, "I thought you were talking about Lorna's Punk Ass Broth-" He started to add, stopping when he heard someone clear their throat behind him.

Lorna was standing in their doorway, giving him a stern albeit playful glance.

"Darius!" She spoke, pitch raising slightly but volume staying the same consistent low rate.

"Sorry Lorna… Truth hurts!" He told her giving her a smirk.

The other girl just rolled her eyes before moving to grab a book that had been laying on her bed.

"Korey said you needed a ride home?" The boy questioned Ruby as he went to grab his keys from his nightstand.

"Yeah… Him and Paige are already gone and Colton and Envy both have something going on at HQ I guess!" Ruby told him in reply.

"Yeah, they are working on something with Romanoff!" He stated simply, "Me and Lorna are supposed to be on Mom duty tonight so Laura can get some rest, are you good to head out now or do you need to wait?" He added seeing the other shake her head.

"We can go now, let me just grab my bag from Korey's Room!" She began looking to her classmate as she stood, "See you round B!" She added waving at the feral girl.

Blake was still thinking about what she and Ruby had talked about earlier as she sat on the couch in the living room of the Prime house. She was the only one currently in the house, others out on missions, or out on dates had left her by her lonesome, but she was actually enjoying the break. That was until she heard the door open and close, so quickly that she jumped.

Standing quietly, she silently crossed the room and moved to press herself against the wall listening for the sound of movement in the hallway. Carefully, she unsheathed her claws as silently as possible and stopped, hearing the sound of steps coming through the doorway.

After the potential intruder became visible to Blake, she sighed heavily and facepalmed as she saw her boyfriend, Pietro Maximoff come into view.

"Dude!" She cried, sheathing her claws before she lightly shoved his shoulder, "You scared the shit out of me!" She added, hearing him chuckle.

"Sorry!" He told her with a smirk, holding up his hands defensively, "I didn't even know you were here!" He added laughing when she gave him a look.

"Why are you here then?" She asked with a chuckle, smiling softly at him as they moved to the window seat.

"Frustrated with my home life… needed a break and I know Lorna's door is always open!" He told his girlfriend.

She turned to him and gave him a sad look.

"I'm sorry Tro…" She told him softly, smiling a little as he pulled her into a hug.

The boy shrugged his shoulders, saying nothing in response, just holding her close.

"So, I don't know if any S.H.I.E.L.D. people will be by tonight… But we might want to go up to Dari and Lorna's room, just in case!" Blake mentioned after a moment, knowing there would be trouble if anyone from the organization came in to find them there alone.

Pietro nodded silently, motioning for her to lead the way, she smirked back in response. They exited the room together and made their way up the staircase, heading to the door at the front of the hallway. When they entered the bedroom, the boy crossed over and took off his jacket, laying it on his sisters bed before observing all of the pictures and trinkets she had lining a shelf on her side of the room. When he turned back he found Blake sitting on the edge of Darius' bed, one leg crossed over the other and a small smirk on her face.

She motioned for him to come over, giving him a look with slightly raised eyebrows.

"Making eyes at me?" He asked her with a chuckle as he crossed the room and sat down beside her.

"I don't know… is it working if I am?" She asked him back, laughing as he pulled her into a kiss.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her a little closer, smirking as their lips parted and he moved his head to trail soft kisses down her jaw. She hummed softly as he began to suck at a spot on her neck, leaving a bit of a bruise for just a moment that vanished not long after.

"Don't have to worry about hickies I see…" He stated with a small chuckle.

"Yeah… don't really bruise much…" She told him in response.

Pietro just shrugged his shoulders before going back to her neck, licking and sucking firmly, a little sad that he couldn't leave a mark. As he began to move from her neck, he noticed that her hands had drifted to the place behind her back and realized that she was undoing her own bra.

"This ok?" She asked as she spotted his gaze on her actions.

"Mhmm!" He told her, nodding quickly, before reaching a hand over to grasp her shirt hem lightly.

He started to pull her shirt off, letting her finish before she reached over to also disrobe him of his top. After they were both shirtless they moved up the bed, Pietro losing his pants along the way. Slipping his hands down Blake's shorts, he discovered that she had forgone underwear that day.

"Hot…" He drawled out in between kisses.

Blake smirked before pulling her shorts off, rolling onto her back and letting him rest comfortably on top of her.

"You've done this before… right?" She asked him after a moment, suddenly curious to know how much experience he had.

They had never discussed past partners before and she obviously didn't mind if she wasn't his first, it would be hypocritical to feel that way. The other looked away, a light pink tinge lighting up his face ever so slightly.

"Wait, seriously?" She asked with a look of surprise.

"So… neither have you!" He stated a little more harshly than he intended, "Right?" He questioned after a moment.

"I mean, not with a guy, no!" She told him, laying a hand on his arm and rubbing softly.

"With that blonde girl then… Leah?" He asked her, trying his best not to look as jealous as he felt.

She had every right to sleep with other people when they weren't together, he knew that, but it didn't make him miss her any less.

"Layla… yeah, we slept together back in December… a couple of weeks before Christmas!" She stated, nodding her head.

Pietro nodded his before pulling her into a firm kiss, trying to push thoughts of 'How to out-do Layla' from his mind.
