Markelos frowned when she pushed him away yet hadn't tried to pull her close again. Fine. She wanted to be that way than whatever. He had enough on his plate without dealing with a hormonal female whose every action was screaming leave me alone and stay out of my life. Whatever. He was a bit irritated by her games. He frowned a bit. He saw her flinch. Why the hell did it matter to him that she flinched? She didn't like him in the same way so he shouldn't give a damn....but he did. That pissed him off a bit. Well he was thinking she didn't like him. It seemed like she was willing to flirt with him but if he tried to initiate anything else happening she pushed him away. Or fled into the darkness. Even if she did like him...which he doubted based on how easily she would leave him...mind you he normally did that with people but not with Alyssa. She was different. Being an international super spy he was the love em and leave em type. Not any use getting in line with a good girl. She would be unable to ever know why he vanished so often. He refused not to do his job.<br/><br/>He ignored her after that. Flat out just ignored her. She didn't wish to give him the time a day he wouldn't waste his time talking to her. At least until he calmed down and thought with a cool mind. He looked at her. "I told you...Key is the best damn AI car ever created." He says bluntly. He looked at her and frowned. "Well...anyone who tried to kill my favorite chase would end up with more than a single bullet in their brain. They would end up like swiss cheese. That is all there is to it." he says. He looked at her. "No. I am the type who could find said needle and use it to stab the other guy who found the first needle. I won't let anything happen to you Alyssa." He shakes his head. He saw the fear in her eyes and growled. Even stoic he growled. That was not a look he liked seeing in her eyes. "I will keep you safe Alyssa." He says seriously. "Anyone trying to kill you over a painting will have to take on me first." After that he fell silent for a few moments.<br/><br/>He ignored her words. Frowning a bit. "You say it but you can barely get the words out. I don't believe you." He scowled. "I like you causing me trouble. It makes things more fun in life." He lay back. "Key fly us please." He says. ~Yes sir~ He relaxed a bit. "I like this painting fiasco. I like all the painting fiasco's where I chase you across the globe while you steal paintings out from other people's noses. It kind of hits home a bit." While he can't outright tell her anything he could drop a veiled hint every now and then. His superiors had mentioned that he could do that. He watched the scenary go by. She was the only person he had ever dealt with who could push his buttons. Expecailly as quickly as she did. He looked at her and just would wait. They had a couple hour flight still.
