You have Yuumi--or Yuuri--Or Yuta--Whatever the fuck her name is do that."</span></span>Lex groaned, rolling her eyes at her fiancee before turning back to getting dressed and packing. She wanted to list how she expected most of the Zodiacs to arrive, proving Seth wrong...again...but she knew the boy was too sensitive about his intelligence. If she started down that road, he would never make the arrangements and they needed to get moving. So instead, the raven-haired girl turned away, her body language making it very obvious she was done with their conversation.<br/><div style="text-align: center"><div class="bbImageWrapper js-lbImage" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-single-image="1" data-src="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/attachments/lex-divider-png.138507/" title="Lex Divider.png">

</div></div>A few hours later, Seth and Lex found themselves practically alone about 40,000 feet in the air. Seth, agitated at Lex, had been drinking since about the time they took off. Meanwhile, Lex couldn't sit still for more than 10 seconds at a time, no matter how hard she tried. Instead, she paced the<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Frobbreport.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F04%2Fwinch.jpg%3Fw%3D1000&amp;hash=441e0a6735855319fff034b8fa15389f" href="https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/winch.jpg?w=1000" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">airplane's cabin</a>, finding little things to fidget with. If she wasn't downing another drink, snacking on whatever she could find, or bothering the crew in the cockpit, she was summoning Karambits and other knives, spinning them around her fingers like little fidget toys as she blocked out whatever Japanese show Seth was trying to watch. Even sitting in the massage chairs could only keep her docile for about 15 seconds at a time before her mental racing forced the girl back to her feet, grunting and groaning every so often.<br/><br/>Lex couldn't help but worry about being in the air again. Sure, she had flown since the plane had been taken out of the sky three years ago, but she never did readjust to flying. It wasn't the flying itself that Lex had the problem with, rather she couldn't stop waiting for the attack she had experienced that fateful day. Her worry drove her to instinctively look out the windows every minute or so, searching for any sign that they might go down again. The last time they had, she and Seth barely made it out alive. She couldn't just sit by and let that happen again. If they were attacked, she wanted to be ready this time.<br/><br/>The young woman worried about why Kiva might have been reaching out again after two years of silence. Was something big happening that Lex hadn't paid enough attention to? While Seth may have relaxed into a normal life, that was not a luxury Lex had ever been able to maintain. For three years, Lex had kept her ear to the ground. When they had gotten to Japan two years ago, she had immersed herself in the underground world. She looked out for stories that might have pointed towards the return of the Culling. The woman who embodied War itself, worried that she might have missed something important. Or maybe the world was just ready for Supers again?<br/><br/>Thinking about Kiva's call eventually led Lex to an even more concerning question; however... Why did Kiva only reach out to Seth, instead of reaching out to both of them? Was there a reason Kiva never reached out to her? Did she know about Lex's relationship with Seth? If Kiva knew, Lex was worried about who else might know... Would her father know that she had betrayed the family by having this relationship? When Lex started thinking about that, she couldn't help but glance over at the boy momentarily before walking away again.<br/><br/>And then it hit her... Her entire relationship with Seth had never been real. Their lives were on Zodiac Island, with the other Supers, people they had not been in contact with for three years. The last three years were like a weird dream where she and her mortal nemesis had needed to work together to survive and eventually learned to work together in normal society as well. What was going to happen when they landed on the island and everything went back to normal? Would everything between them go back to the way it was before?<br/><br/>Lex pawed at the black platinum and moonstone Yin pendant that hung from her neck, their equivalent of an engagement ring as she thought about the dream they were about to emerge from. She wondered what the other Supers would think... The last time anyone had seen them together, both of them had been covered in blood, a fight that nearly killed them both before other Zodiacs had gotten involved.<br/><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(153, 0, 204)">"UGH!!!!!"</span></span>Lex cried out, slamming her fists on the wooden countertop next to her, the Karambit she held shattering the glass that covered the wood. She couldn't figure out whether she was excited to have the chance to truly become a Zodiac... or stressed about what else might come of returning to their old lives.
