				Tristram Sylvester Rooke took a sip of his drink and smiled, looking down at his watch and noticing that the time was just about what it should be.&nbsp; It was Tuesday night, and he wasn't working.&nbsp; Every Tuesday and Thursday night, like clockwork, come hell or high water, he was off, the only nights off he usually took from his self-employed job.&nbsp; As an entrepreneur, there was usually something or other to deal with, some random bit of madness or chaos that would come up, some detail to run down, but he'd been doing this for years, and he worked his schedule around it.&nbsp; Sitting in a small, quiet tavern known to relatively few in the large town of Midway, the man was content with the world.&nbsp; And why shouldn't he be?&nbsp; He was waiting on a lady, an old friend of more years than he liked to think about, and probably the single most important person to him in the world... yet despite what all of his friends said, and apparently all of hers did, too, they weren't dating.&nbsp; Never had, in fact.&nbsp; There was real love in their friendship, but there had never been more than one kiss, years ago, and it was likely there never would be.&nbsp; Both of them were happy that way... or at least, that's what they told each other, and what he told himself at least twice a month.<br><br>Dressed in casual clothes as usual (the times they went somewhere formal were few and far between, although they came up every now and again, and Tris dearly looked forward to seeing her decked to the nines when they did), he wore expensive brown walking shoes, comfortable and practical while still looking good, and above them charcoal gray slacks with a brown belt.&nbsp; A simple navy blue wool sweater, a gift from her last Christmas, finished the ensemble, and it matched his deep, thoughtful blue eyes ("deep as the sea" he'd been told) very well.&nbsp; A large bear of a man, three inches over six feet and well-muscled, he towered over most people, but he was definitely a gentle giant, polite and kind to others, and he moved with the grace of a dancer despite his bulk.&nbsp; With dark brown hair, almost black, cut short and neatly combed and ruggedly handsome good looks, most of the ladies seemed to like Tristram, although he only rarely dated (despite what his friends called this hanging out with an old, dear friend) due to the time requirements of his job, and at least one woman had accused him of cheating with her on the side.<br><br>Sitting at the oak bar, sipping his Coke (Tristram was, and remained, a teetotaler), the man waited patiently, remembering the old adage that a lady was always precisely on time.&nbsp; Specifically, <em>hers</em>.&nbsp; Besides, he was early, as usual.&nbsp; Pausing in his fond remembrances of the past, he looked around the tavern, taking in the old, slightly battered furniture, eclectic knickknacks decorating the walls, such as the tail of a WWII fighter flown by the tavern's founder or, of all things, a sousaphone hanging from the ceiling that no one quite knew where it had come from, and the quiet, friendly patrons.&nbsp; It was the sort of place everyone knew your name, people would buy you a drink when you were down, and there was always a happy, content atmosphere despite the somewhat improbable name of "The Angry Badger".&nbsp; As far as he knew, it was named after a creature in one of the founder's misadventures in his parents' native England during the war, but no one really cared.&nbsp; It was just the Badger Tavern.&nbsp; As Tris scanned the bar, he smiled in delight and stood up, waving, easily visible at his height on the raised floor of the bar.&nbsp; "Hey!" he greeted as his lady friend came closer, opening his arms and sweeping her up in a warm hug.

				The neon glow of the clock read off the time correctly, it even matched the hands of the delicate silver watch on the wrist of Raziel Rene' Perez, showing that if she did not hurry up soon she would be late for the only thing she looked forward to every week. Well there was Thursday night too of course, but Tuesday was always the kicker of the number of times she would see her oldest friend and greatest confidant, Tristram Rooke. A handsome, tall, bulky man who looked like he could slam a person's face in with just a jolt of his arm but then he would pick that same person up and cuddle them back to good health. Like an over protective bear. Her bear.<br><br>Well that was silly, Rae thought to herself, He wasn't hers at all. Just her best friend. Nothing more and nothing less. Her slick yellow mustang pulled up to the front of The Angry Badger. Flipping down the visor she checked her reflection one more time in the mirror. Looking at her appearance Rae found the beautiful hazel eyes that were set in colors of green, gold, and brown with long thick lashes framing her orbs. Her full pink lips were glossed and when they tilted up into an approving smile dimples would sink into her cheeks. Small, soft hands went up as her fingers played through her long, thick brown hair. Lightly she played with her bangs so they just barely brushed into her eyes, she tightened the backs of her dangling star ear rings before sighing and getting out.<br><br>After working at the local news paper not everyday did she come home looking beautiful or polished. Ink was on her hands from dealing with hundreds of copies of news print paper and then fixing up faulty mass printers all day. When she got out of the car and slammed the door before locking it, her outfit for the night could be seen. Rae only stood at five foot two, short, with round, ample hips and full breasts that men sometimes noticed before anything else on her body. She had been told that before several times. It still made her blush. Rae may have been petite in height but her body was other wise. It was voluptuous and yet fit from the...hard work of her second job. Dressed in tight blue jeans it went down to show her slick black, high heeled boots. Her top was forest green and low cut, with long sleeves it made others know she was aware it was Winter. Yet did she care about the weather?<br><br>Why no, actually, she could hardly feel it. She only got freaked when it was hot outside. Those were the days she tried her best to avoid. Grabbing up her purse she hummed and nodded to a guy up front before walking in. Moving further her gaze flickered and then landed happily on Tris who stood up with a greeting and a warm, familiar hello. She sighed deeply, inhaling his soothing, rich scent as her heart skipped beats. <em>Just friends Rae, Just...Friends. </em><br><br>"Hi Tris," she smiled and squeezed him in a hug before pulling away and looking up into his gorgeous blue eyes. Gosh those things were hypnotizing. "Hmmm, so," she giggled and got up on a stool with some difficulty, curse the gene pool of her short family. "How was your day tell me everything, you know the drill." She smiled when one of the bartenders passed her a nice cool glass of Dr. Pepper, no ice. "Thanks," she said.

				Tris slid his arms in a fierce bear hug around Raz, embracing her and picking her up for a moment, then smiled down at his much shorter friend, staring into those gorgeous hazel eyes, mesmerized as always by the various flecks and shades of color before he shook it off and seated himself.&nbsp; As always, she had a bit of trouble with the stools, but anyone who gave her trouble about her height in school had found themselves dealing with a large, looming presence.&nbsp; Despite the fact that Raz was capable of taking care of herself, at least against your usual grade of thug, Tris had always been fiercely protective of her.&nbsp; He sighed, wishing - as usual - he could give her the details, but he knew full well she wouldn't want to know the truth about him.&nbsp; Besides, it was better for her, safer.&nbsp; What she didn't know, she couldn't tell or give away accidentally, and while he was confident in his ability to defend himself, the idea of someone from his line of work going after <em>her</em> was chilling.&nbsp; He was in over his head, in deeper than he'd ever wanted to be, but at this point, it was either play the game or lose... and Tris didn't like to think about what losing meant.&nbsp; At least he was good enough to make his own rules, avoid the really dirty business.&nbsp; Smiling, he replied, "More of the usual.&nbsp; One of my brokers was up to something dubious.&nbsp; I had to give a deposition to a couple of Interpol cops, of all people.&nbsp; Never one of those things you want to deal with."&nbsp; <em>Especially in my line of work.&nbsp; Frigging idiot.&nbsp; Working with that kind of money, and you're running an international gambling racket on the side,</em> Tristram thought darkly.&nbsp; <em>He's lucky it was just <strong>me</strong> who found out - some of his other clients would've strung him up.&nbsp; Or worse.</em>&nbsp; What worse meant was another one of those things he didn't like to dwell on.&nbsp; Shaking it off, he went on, "A couple of supply problems, but nothing else, and those were easy to straighten out."&nbsp; The tall bear of a man gave his friend a winning smile.&nbsp; "So how was your day?"

				Listening to his deep voice, Rae would look at him and nod slowly, her eyes went over his face as she then sighed. "Sorry to hear you customer was such a nimrod," she came across those types of people pretty much every night. She would probably need to do a routine run after this just to make sure nothing was up. In her line of business thieves and robbers were not as important as the psycho paths who raped, molested, and killed people for their sick personal gain. Whether they were normal and human or not she went after them with a fierce almost scary vigor.<br><br>When he asked about her day she smiled and took a long sip of her soda before sighing and raking her fingers through luscious locks before answering. "It was okay...I had to cover a story on a big car crash today so it kind of sucked mid way through." Mainly because she had been unable to go into costume and rip those people out of their burning cars which were crumpled. "Two of them died," she went on. "Tragic..." She sighed and then looked up, "Wow I am ruining the mood." Laughing she continued, "I had an okay day besides that.&nbsp; You know the guy in my office, Eli, the one I've been talking about, with the blond hair and nice eyes. Well he gave me his number today so. So there might be something with that, I think." She hoped, sort of. But not really. What she really hoped was to kiss Tris again some day but dreams were just dreams.<br><br>Rae leaned her head on his shoulder and hummed, "So what are you in the mood for doing tonight?"

				"Rae, you're a little sad because of it.&nbsp; Nothing to be ashamed of," Tris answered, reaching up to brush fingertips against her jaw, smiling at her softly.&nbsp; "It's not a problem."&nbsp; When she got to the part about Eli, his face got a little dark, then blanked as he took a breath, then nodded.&nbsp; <em>Not to be, Tris.&nbsp; You know that,</em> he reminded himself, forcing a smile for her sake.&nbsp; "Good to hear, I guess.&nbsp; You're sure he's a decent guy?&nbsp; And do I need to have a little chat with him?"&nbsp; His face was dead serious.&nbsp; Anyone who dated Rae sooner or later got to meet Tris, and his impression of them determined whether or not that was a friendly hello or the kind of meeting that most people associated with overprotective fathers of teenage daughters.&nbsp; The one real cad she'd ever dated had the nerve to smart off at Tristram of all people about cheating on her, and the larger man had only taken one swing at him.&nbsp; Someone his size with the sort of skills you needed to do his job hadn't needed more than one to make it clear that an apology had better be forthcoming to the lady, followed closely by getting the hell away from her if he had any sense at all.&nbsp; One was, and he did.<br><br>"As far as doing something, well... what do you want to do?&nbsp; I'm just happy to be out with a friend."&nbsp; Pausing for a moment, he grinned at her as something occurred to him.&nbsp; "I've got an idea, Little Miss Winter-lover.&nbsp; How about a walk over in the city park?&nbsp; They've got the lights up, and after the snow last night, it ought to be gorgeous.&nbsp; What do you say?"

				When his fingers touched along her jaw she inhaled shakily and closed her eyes, for just a moment, opening them in time to see his smile dissipate when Eli was mentioned. She tilted her head a little and then smiled, "Yeah. He's a really good guy. He's helped me a lot when I first came there with work and how to type things up and...stuff like that. No Tris," she laughed, "No chats just yet. Beside he only gave me his number. Not his entire back ground history and what he wanted to do with me." She patted his broad back, fighting the urge to put her body into his, to feel his larger then life form. When she looked at him all she wanted to do was get closer and drown in his warmth. Jeeze what was up with her and her hormones tonight?<br><br>When Tris mentioned walking to the park Rae's eyes lit up and she smiled. "Of course!" She drank the rest of her soda in record time and then jumped to her feet. "Do you need a coat," the bartender asked as he passed by. She looked up and shook her head, "It's no problem. It feels wonderful outside." The man arched a brow at her before nodding slowly, "A-Alright..."<br><br>Taking Tris' hand she tugged him down to join her on his feet. Once they were outside they passed by her car and she made sure it was locked before continuing on. "So Tris, what about you and your love life? Any lucky ladies you have your beautiful eyes on?"

				"Not... not exactly," Tristram replied, ducking into his own car long enough to grab a black leather trench coat out of the passenger seat and pull it on.&nbsp; Despite their relative sizes, he was more sensitive to cold weather than Rae was, although he shared her opinion of hot weather and always had.&nbsp; Once he was dressed warmly, he slid an arm around her waist, tucking his old friend against his body as they walked.&nbsp; "There's one lady I'm interested in, but I don't think she really views me as more than a friend."&nbsp; Closing his eyes for a long moment, he realized he couldn't decide if he wanted that one to sail by or for her to actually figure out just which lady he was talking about.&nbsp; It was getting harder and harder these days for him to maintain that detachment, to be "just friends".&nbsp; That was part and parcel of his ferocious protectiveness of her.&nbsp; Walking around the corner into the park, he pointed.&nbsp; "Oh, look, they've got the reindeer statues out," he said with a smile.&nbsp; Christmas had always warmed his heart.&nbsp; Maybe it was just the season that had him so attracted to Rae tonight, but unless his eyes were playing tricks on him, she seemed be having a touch of the same jitters he was.

				When Tris put on the coat she stifled a dreamy sigh. He looked so dark and handsome, like a vigilante of the night with his leather and steamy blue eyes.When his arm reached around her waist she smiled and tucked her curvy form into his side as she turned her head a bit, her cheek against the side of his chest as her arm went under his around his lower back with her fingers gripping him gently. "Oh? There's a lady," she questioned, looking up. They were friends he said, it must be a girl from his work...she sighed in a dejected sort of way before murmuring. "Well, I think that girl would be completely insane if all she saw in you was a friend. I mean you're handsome, kind, you have a charming way about you and a great body. Personally I would date you myself if you know, you didn't think of me as some annoying little sister or something." <br><br>Of course he already knew that from their Senior Prom when she had kissed him and told him everything. But she figured things just was not about to work between them. Sadly.<br><br>When they walked on her eyes lit up as she saw the statues, smiling, she suddenly gasped. "Oh gosh, that reminds me. I have to find you a present, what would you like this year anyways," she asked and looked up with round, shining eyes. When he looked at her she felt a bubble of attraction pull her closer, making her full breasts press into his rib cage. But then she swiftly looked down and said, "I never know what to get you."

				Tris looked down at her, smiling, and licked his lips as he thought over her comment about dating him herself.&nbsp; "Do you really think I just think of you as an annoying little sister?" he asked, feeling her against him side and getting a little thrill from it.&nbsp; Pulling her off of the path with him as she told him about needing to find a present, he reached over and tipped her chin up, looking into her hazel eyes as he continued.&nbsp; "I don't.&nbsp; What I want to know is how you think of me.&nbsp; I remember what you told me at the prom, but I thought I was just your big bear these days, the way things went in college."&nbsp; Leaning down, he took a deep breath.&nbsp; "So, am I just a friend... or am I something more, Rae?"&nbsp; Tris's heart was frozen as he waited for her response.

				Rae shrugged slightly, "It would make sense if you did, I mean we've known each other for such a long time. I would never...think you thought of me as nothing else but that." When they were walking and he pulled her away from the beginning of Central Park's path to look down into her eyes her heart began to skip and speed up. Her brows rose slowly and her full lips parted in surprise as he told her that he remembered her confession. What he thought of her was not what she thought, could it be possible that Tristram wanted her as well? Long dark lashes rose and fell slowly as he asked her what she thought about him.<br><br>"I..." She felt her mouth go dry and her breathing became quickened and alarmed. "Um. It..." She closed her eyes and looked down before inhaling shakily, "I feel like if I tell you it'll just be like Prom." That answered everything but she still feel like if she said the words she had been screaming at him in her mind it would either ruin things or just go unnoticed like before.<br><br>She smiled softly as she looked up at him, "You are my big bear...but you're more too. I just don't want...things to be ignored or to be ruined. You know?" Her hands came up over his chest and she moved her body closer to his. "I love you so much, it would hurt me if I lost you. But to answer your question head on, I have to be brave," she laughed. Looking up she said, "I would love to be more then just your friend...but when I told you this before, nothing happened. So I'm just confused."

				Tris stared down at her, beginning to smile as she answered him, and nodded slowly.&nbsp; "Nothing happened because I was young and stupid.&nbsp; I panicked.&nbsp; Didn't know what to do, how to handle it.&nbsp; I... wasn't ready.&nbsp; I know that hurt you, Rae."&nbsp; He closed his eyes, taking a shuddering breath.&nbsp; "I think maybe that was better in some ways, I wasn't ready to handle a relationship well at that point anyway.&nbsp; But I'm not that stupid kid anymore, and I still love you, Rae."&nbsp; He leaned down, arms around her, and pressed his lips to hers.&nbsp; "I want to be more than that to you, too.&nbsp; I'd love to be more.&nbsp; But I don't want to hurt you again."

				When he told her his reason Rae definitely understood why. She guessed maybe it was better back then she was young and definitely unsure of what she wanted. Now she was a grown woman and she knew what she craved in life and love. And she was ultimately determined to get it. When he kissed her she shuddered deep down, looking up with love, trust, and adoration in her eyes. Rae smiled and her arms would slide beneath his coat and wrap around his middle. His warmth beneath the leather was sweet and rich and she just wanted more.<br><br>"How about," she whispered, "We start dating? I mean actual...formal...loving dating? Take it slow so we don't do anything we regret and we can begin to see each other as lovers? In time..." she smiled and leaned up on her toes, kissing his cheek and then his sweet mouth softly, lingering there before whispering, "Right now our first date is this...what do you think?" She winked.

				Kissing her back, he felt her slide her arms underneath his jacket and enjoyed the feeling of her body against his.&nbsp; Tris chuckled at the playful wink, wrapping the jacket around her and holding her against him.&nbsp; "I think I like it," he whispered back, brushing his lips over her forehead.&nbsp; "Of course, was that our first kiss, or did we just kiss before we started dating?" he asked, eyes dancing with devilish amusement.&nbsp; "I'm not at all opposed to doing things unconventionally, but we might want to decide before we have to answer questions."&nbsp; And you know they'll never believe this was our first date, either..."&nbsp; Privately, he quashed his doubts about his job - it wasn't as if he wasn't angling to get himself out of it, slowly, taking a position on the board that would let him duck out without people noticing, or that he liked it to begin with - and just enjoyed the fact that finally, it seemed things were looking up.

				Laughing a bit she rolled her eyes up to the night sky and hummed, "How about the first kiss of the night was the kiss that started our torrid love affair and the other one we just had was out first date kiss?" She tilted her head and gave a playful wink. "I personally like that way don't you?" Yet as she said this she realized something, Isis was now connected to a man she had deep feelings for. People could use her Big Bear in order to get back at her. Rae frowned as she looked down, she had put a lot of people into prisons and mental wards. If all this happened...who knows what sort of madness could ensue.<br><br>She pulled herself away and smiled, "Come on. The night is still young." Taking his hand she walked with him through the path as statues of reindeer and Santa were all over as well as Angels and Christmas Trees. She looked around and then let go of his hand to run to a swing set. Falling back on the seat she giggled and leaned down, swiftly she moved up and threw a huge, compact ball of snow right at Tris' chest. "Score! Haha!" She got up and ran back, "You can't hit me back though it would be very bad behavior for our first date."

				Tris laughed, long and hearty.&nbsp; A big laugh for a big man.&nbsp; "That works, then."&nbsp; Following her as she pulled away and then pulled him along, he blinked as she launched the snowball and looked down at it blankly before giving her a wry smile.&nbsp; "Oh, yes, it would, wouldn't it?" he replied.&nbsp; "Of course, hitting me with a snowball wasn't exactly <em>nice</em>, now was it, Rae?"&nbsp; His smile got a trifle mischievous as he walked closer to her, looming over her menacingly.&nbsp; Instead of throwing a snowball, he had something vaguely less appropriate in mind, and he reached down, shoving his hands under her top and starting to tickle her ribs fiercely, a wicked grin decorating his face.&nbsp; "I think maybe you should apologize for the snowball, Rae," he whispered, leaning down closer to her.&nbsp; "You're a bad, bad girl, aren't you?"

				Rae loved it when Tris laughed it warmed her to the depths of her soul. And when he came to her grinning she shivered in anticipation. "I thought it was nice," she said offhandedly, "You look rather good in snow." When he went up she narrowed her eyes, "Tris," she said her voice drenched in warning and apprehension, "Don't-ah!" She inhaled sharply when his hands went under her shirt and she exploded into laughter, her giggles and squeals echoed in the park as his hands would be big and warm along her tanned curved beneath the cloth. She looked up with shining hazel orbs and shook her head giggling, "I won't apologize. I refuse," she challenged.<br><br>When he called her bad she smirked and leaned up as she pushed her body into his hands and ran her palms up his arms and then through his hair. "I'm as bad as you want me, baby."

				Tris laughed again, even louder this time, as she boldly defied his demand for redress, and redoubled the tickling.&nbsp; "I've noticed.&nbsp; You're <em>very</em> bad, and I like it.&nbsp; Of course, sometimes bad girls get themselves <em>spanked</em>," he added, sliding his hands out from under her top and sitting down beside her.&nbsp; "I should put you across my lap and paddle you.&nbsp; Of course, a bad girl like you probably likes being spanked, doesn't she?"&nbsp; He smirked at her, pulling the brunette against him and tucking her back under his coat.&nbsp; "You know you should wear more in weather like this," the large man commented, leaning his head down to rest it on top of hers.&nbsp; "I worry about you catching a nasty flu sooner or later, running around in a thin top like that when it's this cold.&nbsp; At least you've got enough meat on your bones to provide some insulation."

				When he threatened to spank her she laughed and then went, "Oooo. Promise?" She looked up and winked a bit before he went on, "You're right I do of course. What have you been spying on me or something," she sighed when he pulled her beneath his coat. He smelled so good and he was so firm and full of pure natural male heat. She could stand there all day inhaling him, she was intoxicated off of him. Rae would sigh and shake her head. "Don't worry about me and the cold. We're like best friends. It doesn't bother me one bit and you know it," she giggled. Rae had never really been one for heat and wearing thick sweaters in the winter mainly because she couldn't feel it. She had never known why until Freshman year of College. So maybe it was a good think they had never gotten together until now, maybe.<br><br>Pulling back she dropped her mouth open and blinked at him, before she pouted, "Tristram are you calling me fat?" She tilted her head and arched her left brow, "Oh my goodness, our first date and you're calling me a huge fat pig," she teased. "How mean."

				He snorted as she answered about the spanking.&nbsp; "Oh, I'll spank you... and I'll do other things, too."&nbsp; Tris gave her a comically lecherous wink, then pulled her back against him after she started pouting and laughed.&nbsp; "Of course I'm not calling you fat.&nbsp; I'm just saying you're not one of those skinny beanpole waifs whose ribs you can count from across the room," he answered, kissing her hair.&nbsp; "You know damn well you're not fat, and considering I just had my hands down there tickling you, I'm sure of it too, Rae."&nbsp; He breathed in the scent of it, enjoying the warm mass of her against him, the soft, pleasant smell of her hair, faintly reminding him of spring flowers from her shampoo.&nbsp; "Y'know, I could stay here all night like this, just holding you," he whispered, pulling her into his lap and wrapping his other arm around her before nuzzling her cheek.

				She hummed slowly as she thought about his answer. "Well when you put it like that I guess I won't have to deck you in the face for calling me such names." Rae was teasing of course, she knew she was not fat. She was just healthy, a bit more then most but she was in shape. What with her vigilante fighting and moving gracefully while also taking punches, her body was voluptuous with softness in the more feminine areas where the rest was tight with hard work and determination. Needless to say she was a knock out in a bathing suit.<br><br>When her body was moved under the heated, leather ends of his coat and she was fixed to sit over his lap she would smile and then shiver as he nuzzled her. Closing her eyes as her heart began to beat steadily like a war drum she turned her face into his thick, soapy smelling neck and would smile softly against his pulse point. "Well. I would definitely like that. But aren't you scared you'll look all mushy and romanticized cuddling and nuzzling me? I mean granted you've got the size thing and the whole 'I can punch you in the face' but aren't you worried about what they might say? How you're going soft over a fat girl?" She teased and leaned up her head to nibble at his ear.

				"Fat?&nbsp; I've seen you in a bathing suit, you minx..." Tris started, then he groaned softly as she nibbled his ear.&nbsp; "Stop that, or I'm going to have wandering hands, girl."&nbsp; His hands started rubbing up and down her back.&nbsp; "And as far as looking silly, I'm not going to look silly.&nbsp; They're going to be jealous."&nbsp; One hand caught her long hair, tugging on it to urge her head up before leaning down and starting to kiss her neck, nipping at the soft, sensitive skin, moving slowly up to her ear to return the favor.&nbsp; "They're going to be jealous that I've got a gorgeous hottie in my lap," he whispered in a low, sensual voice, nipping her earlobe, then swishing his tongue over the skin behind it, his other hand sliding under her top to caress her back.&nbsp; "Gorgeous, sexy, voluptuous hottie.&nbsp; And I kind of doubt <em>soft</em> is going to have anything to do with it if we keep this up, Rae."&nbsp; In point of fact, he could already feel a certain tension underneath her rear end.&nbsp; "But I'll hold you all night, whether we keep playing or not."

				When her head went back Rae's brows rose high and then she gasped when his mouth teased her sensitive neck. She stiffened slowly and then gulped as he nibbled along her ear, she would wiggle her hips a bit as her hands tugged on the sweater she had last bought him that reminded her of his gorgeous blue eyes. "Tris," she whispered softly, turning her head once he let up on the licking and nibbling, the area was warm and wet now, but she hardly noticed that. When he called her such wonderful things a blush settled on her cheeks and she looked away a bit nervously. "You really think I'm all of those things?" She had been called a lot of things before from pretty, to gorgeous, hot, sexy, even the bad things like fat or ugly which Tris had bullied a few girls and their boyfriends for teasing her in High school even though she was clearly not fat or ugly or anything else they pegged on her. When Tris complimented her though it made her shy. The guy she had fantasies about actually liked her. It felt good. Leaning up she smiled, and then said, "Well, sadly for you, I'm a tease." It was true, she was. "And I never hand out on the first date," granted she had never handed out but...he did not need to know she was pretty much untouched goods. <br><br>"So just hold me," she smiled, leaving him high and dry just like she was as she laid her head on his shoulder. "But maybe we could move somewhere a little warmer? I can feel-" she paused, crap, she was about to say she could feel his body temperature drop it was another special thing of hers. She knew exactly when a person would begin to become colder, she used it to her advantage in the art of rendering criminals immobile. "I...I know you have to be freezing. How about we go to my place and watch a movie? Oooo I made cookies too," she kissed his cheek and then his mouth softly, staying there as her tongue slipped into his mouth and flickered against his own warm, wet muscle before sighing and pushing herself away and getting to her feet.<br><br>"Wanna just follow in your car or have one of us drive?"

				Tris smiled, eyes warm and intense, and he kissed her lips softly.&nbsp; "I think you are absolutely drop-dead gorgeous.&nbsp; You are completely hot - got to be the reason you don't get cold, you're just too hot to feel it," he whispered with a sly grin, touching his nose to her.&nbsp; "And you are the sexiest woman I know."&nbsp; He could tell she was getting a bit shy, but she could tell he was completely serious.&nbsp; His hand continued to run over her back even as she talked, and the other stroked her hair slowly.&nbsp; "You're right, you are a wicked, evil tease, and sooner or later, someone's not going to let you get away with it..."&nbsp; Despite the way his statement could be interpreted, the hand under her top slid out, back around her waist in a chaste embrace.&nbsp; "I've waited years just to get this close, Rae.&nbsp; Do you really think waiting some more for you to be ready to go that far is going to bother me?" her friend answered, nuzzling her nose.&nbsp; "I would love to hold you, Rae.&nbsp; I've always liked having you in my arms."&nbsp; When she went on, he chuckled.&nbsp; "Yes, I am kind of chilly..." he started to answer before she kissed him.&nbsp; His tongue danced with hers for a moment before she pulled herself to her feet, and he stood up.&nbsp; "I'll follow you in my car.&nbsp; But, I believe I said I was going to hold you all night, so..."&nbsp; With that, Tris grinned wickedly and reached down, then swept her up into his arms.

				When he called her an evil tease she snickered and sighed, shaking her head she got up and put her hands on her hips. "Believe me, I've known women who were much worse at this whole teasing thing. Men would have blue balls for days after meeting up with those people." She had appreciated what he told her about waiting. That made her love him all the more. Of course she was not about to sleep with him just yet there was no harm in getting to know him physically, slowly, in time reaching that point where they were both fully together. And when he told her that having Rae in his arms was what he had always liked it softened her resolve even more. To tell the truth in the past when Tris had stopped hugging or holding her she felt incredibly sad and empty.<br><br>"Alright," she chimed when he told her he would follow, "I'll meet you at my place th-EEnnnn!" She yelped when she was suddenly off of the ground and placed in Tris' bulging arms. "Oh my goodness," she laughed, looking up in amusement she shook her head, not really used to being in the arms of a man she squeaked and threw her arms around his neck. 'Tris," she said stiffly, "Please let me down," she laughed as he walked her through the park and towards the Angry Badger. She whimpered, "You know I'm short, being this high up freaks me the heck out." <br><br>But in reality she was loving each and every moment as he carried her around. She would push her forehead against his and close her eyes. Nibbling his lower lip she pulled gently on the succulent flesh of his mouth before whispering, "I'll wear something sexy if you put me down now."

				Tris laughed at her.&nbsp; "Sure you're not a tease, whatever you say honey," he replied with a snort.&nbsp; When he'd stopped hugging or holding her in the past, it was usually because she was in a relationship, trying not to poach on another man's turf.&nbsp; For now, though, starting a relationship with <em>him</em>, she was likely to have his hands on her and arms around her as much as she wanted.&nbsp; He laughed at her yelp and squeak when he pulled her into his arms.&nbsp; "Why should I put you down?"&nbsp; Tris looked down at her face with an amused smirk.&nbsp; "No, it doesn't.&nbsp; You're the one who extorted a horsey ride out of me in college just to feel taller.&nbsp; Besides, your head isn't that much higher up now than it usually is," he pointed out.&nbsp; "You can't be getting altitude sickness - I'm not <em>that</em> tall."&nbsp; When she nibbled his lip, he groaned a bit, then stopped when she made that offer.&nbsp; "Whatever you wear is sexy, Rae.&nbsp; It's on you, it can't <em>help</em> but be sexy."&nbsp; He nipped at the tip of her nose with a grin.

				Growling playfully at him her right hand went down and under his jacket, pinching at his chest, hoping to find his nipple and make sure she felt the threatening yet teasing pressure. "Don't make me go all Jackie Chan on your behind. So what if I managed to get a ride out of you," she grinned, "You liked it. But I was quick to make sure I got off so I didn't get motion sickness." Suddenly she swatted his arms and with a graceful twist of her body she twirled out of his arms like a gymnast and landed just right on her feet. Cocking her brow at him she smirked, "See you at my place, Tris. Oh and I'll still wear something nice, you just won't be able to touch me."<br><br>With that said she got into her car and left him standing there with a big smile on her face. Before this her and Tris' relationship had been tense with spoken and ignored feelings as well as a sexual tension that ran deeply way back to their Middle School years. But now that they were dating...or together, it was different. It was still tense and there were things between them that were still unspoken like her secret life outside of writing and seeing him that she could never tell him about just now. Yet even so Rae felt...complete. Even though they were moving slowly, sort of, she just felt like things were meant to happen this way.<br><br>Her apartment building's name was Golden Bridges, it was a bit classier then most but it was still only mediocre compared to uptown. With a Journalist's salary it was all she had. She didn't wait for Tris and raced up stairs, she was half tempted to raise herself to the fifth story window but that might be seen and cause alarm. Once inside Apartment number fifty-five she opened the door and left it unlocked as she went into her bedroom.<br><br>It was a little messy with papers and notes on her kitchen table as well as a lacy pink negligee' on the couch from the night before with newspapers on the coffee table and the kitchen had a few dishes in the sink, but other then that, it was decent. Garbed in blue and white, serene and cool. The temperature was at sixty. Rae might have just been a little insane for having the place so cold.<br><br>A few moments later she heard the front door open and close and she came out in a lacy blue top that clung to her ample breasts and outline her nipples a bit too well with a pair of silky blue shorts that just barely went below her cheeks. Showing off her tanned, curvy legs and thick thighs. Her long hair was down around her shoulders as she hummed, ignoring the coldness of her place.

				Tris cocked an eyebrow.&nbsp; "Sure I won't," he shot back, ducking back into his car with an amused snort.&nbsp; Following her to the apartment, he made a mental note to ignore that prohibition.&nbsp; Finding the right place from memory of the last time he'd been there a few months ago, he went up the stairs, relaxed and pleased with the world, then opened the door and stepped in.&nbsp; The papers and notes reminded him of her dorm room in college.&nbsp; The negligee on the couch was new, though.&nbsp; Looking over when she came out, he ran his eyes over her form, then gave a low, impressed whistle.&nbsp; "You weren't kidding about something sexy, were you?" he commented, stepping closer.&nbsp; Taking his coat off and folding it over a chair, he took another long look.&nbsp; "Especially with what it shows off.&nbsp; I told you in college, you should've been an underwear model, Rae."&nbsp; When she turned her back on him, he moved behind her silently and then slid his arms around her waist, pinning her arms against her sides.&nbsp; "So, what was that about not touching you, again?"

				Smirking she shrugged her right shoulder, "I don't think this is sexy, it's just something old to wear and comfortable," she grinned at his model comment and laughed, "Nah. Those girls starve themselves, I rather enjoy my brownies every now and then as well as juicy burgers, yum." She sighed happily about to go and indulge in some cookies that she had mentioned baking until she squeaked when his arms moved behind and wrapped her up in the strong warmth of his embrace. Laughing softly she looked back and gave him a saucy little wink, "You are just always breaking the rules Mister. I swear. Won't you ever learn," she chided.<br><br>Turning in his arms she whispered, "Well. If you're going to touch me, hold me like you promised, or more." She jumped up and swiftly kissed his cheek before pulling herself away and going into the kitchen. "What movie do you want to watch my dear," she came around the corner and smiled curiously at him.

				"Be very, very careful what you wish for, especially dressed like that, my dear," Tris answered in a mockingly dark, dangerous voice, following her.&nbsp; "And yes, I break the rules.&nbsp; I won't be learning any time soon when the punishment for it is getting my hands on you, either."&nbsp; He smirked at her back as she walked away, then frowned thoughtfully at her question.&nbsp; "Hmm... movie.&nbsp; What movie do I want to watch?&nbsp; Really, I don't know.&nbsp; I'm just happy to be with you."&nbsp; A playful wink, and then, "Especially with you dressed like that.&nbsp; Whether you think it's sexy or not, I've got to say, it looks damn good on you."&nbsp; Leaning against the wall, he lifted his leg and started to untie his shoe, then removed it and repeated the process with the other foot before putting them by the couch and sitting down comfortably.&nbsp; "What do you want to watch, then?&nbsp; I'm evidently useless for making a decision about it."

				A moment later the plate of treats and glasses of soda and a bottle of wine were on the coffee table as Rae gave an exasperated sigh. "Honestly Tris, you should grow a back bone, be a real man for once," she taunted, "And pick a friggin' movie. I suppose I can though since you are obviously handicapped." She winked back at him before coming to her entertainment system as he sat on her couch. Bending over with her left hand on her knee she opened up the drawer as she went through her DVD collection. With her rounded bottom right towards him, she hummed and wiggled her hips, bouncing on her heels as she tried to figure out what to see.<br><br>Finally she pulled out a romantic comedy, "Here. I like this," she smiled and popped in the disc before humming and walking over. She sat down on the couch and looked over, pretending to shiver just a little before picking up her remote and pressing play on the Menu Screen. "Tris," she murmured, pouting her lower lip, "Hold me? I'm cold."

				"Any man would be handicapped with so lovely a lady parading around in such skimpy, clingy clothing," Tris shot back with a wink of his own.&nbsp; He watched the little show with her rear appreciatively and smiled at the title.&nbsp; "It looks good, and you've got good taste," he answered, looking at her as she sat down.&nbsp; Just as he was about to make a move of his own, she asked him to hold her.&nbsp; Smiling, he reached over and pulled her into his lap, laying down with her on top of him, one arm curled up to stroke her soft hair, the other resting just on the decorous side of her rear.&nbsp; "You're never cold, Rae," he pointed out in a low whisper, kissing her forehead again, "but I'll always hold you when you want me to..."

				"Ah," she whispered, "You caught me in a lie." Looking up her eyes shimmered and she winked, leaning into the kiss on her forehead she sighed, "Thank you Tris. I feel good knowing you're always there for me." As the movie began she would lay her cheek on his broad, warm chest as she gazed at the screen as the catchy love song would play and the introduction of the setting and characters were made. Rae's thighs would spread around his waist as she settled with much more comfort loosening her up as she tucked herself deeper into his body and her left hand would come up and stroke up and down the side of his hard stomach that was against the edge of the couch.<br><br>Rae's arms came under her though, pushing her up just enough with her elbows lightly pushing into his stomach as her impressive cleavage was shown off and the soft, tanned tops of her nipples exposed, as she watched the movie more, the line of her neck more exposed as she bit her lower lip, suddenly smiling and laughing at a smart comment a worker made. She then looked down at Tris and winked, "Do you need to work in the morning?"

				Tris almost swatted her rear end playfully, but stopped himself.&nbsp; <em>Don't push it, don't push it,</em> he cautioned himself inside his head, just shifting to let her move on top of him and get comfortable.&nbsp; As she moved, he enjoyed the feeling of it, the warmth of her body, and his eyes closed slightly as she started to stroke his side.&nbsp; When the brunette bombshell pushed herself up, he couldn't help looking, and felt a stirring down below as he realized he was looking right down her cleavage at her nipples.&nbsp; Dragging his attention back to the movie, he forced himself to pay attention, and laughed occasionally, shaking her when something particularly funny happened on screen.&nbsp; "No, I don't need to work.&nbsp; No phone calls to make, and I set my own hours as an entrepreneur, you know that," he replied, smiling, stroking her hair gently.&nbsp; "Why?"

				With a light shrug she hummed, "I was just wondering is all." <em>Liar. You're totally thinking about something bad. Stop it Rae, stop. You two just started dating even though you've known eachother for so long...maybe it wouldn't be so bad--No! Stop! </em> Shaking her head she laughed, "Maybe you could sleep over like old times?" Rae realized how weird that sounded since they were definitely much more involved compared to their days of pure friendship. Clearing her throat she said, "Or you know. Whatever. You haven't got to. No pressure, promise." She smiled and looked down, realizing her breasts were practically on display she let out a squeak and pulled up her top before laying flat on his chest.<br><br>The plot of the movie was pretty simple, a tale of a musician and a writer whose main goal was to make a song for a slutty pop princess. The male lead was easy on the eyes and quite funny. Everytime Rae would smile the dimples in her cheeks would dig deep followed by a happy laugh that almost sounded like a child's at times. Sitting up suddenly, straddling his waist and looking as if she might do something lewd, she went over and grabbed a cookie, "Want one?"<br><br>

				Tris raised an eyebrow.&nbsp; "Just wondering?&nbsp; Okay," he answered with a shrug, not pursuing it, although her expression told him there was probably more to it.&nbsp; When she asked about sleeping over, he let her finish then grinned.&nbsp; "Sure.&nbsp; I'd love to stay over... whatever it is you have in mind.&nbsp; I'm sure there's something."&nbsp; He winked playfully, then watched her realize her breasts were so exposed.&nbsp; At her squeak, he burst out laughing, hard, shaking his body and her on top of him for a few moments before finally settling back down.&nbsp; "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just... that was so adorably <em>funny</em>..." he explained, leaning up and kissing her hair again.&nbsp; "I love it when you make me laugh that way."&nbsp; Tris watched the whole movie, but more of his attention was on her face than the TV.&nbsp; He loved to watch her smile and laugh.&nbsp; When she sat up, he just slid his arms down, then smiled back.&nbsp; "Sure.&nbsp; I'd love one."

				Rae's cheeks flushed into a deep embarrassed red, "Funny? Jeeze Tris, do my boobs look that weird you gotta laugh at them," she said playfully before laughing herself, shaking her head. "You are so rotten." She said and then casually she put a cookie between his teeth like it was was natural as the climax of the movie played. She watched, spell bound as the couple had an argument and they split up over the song. "Aww," she pouted, "That's so sad. Come on Julie, suck it up, you and Brett belong together. Ugh, you see, sometimes women just piss me off. They are so sensitive and stubborn. If you like a guy and he likes you and you know it you shouldn't be ashamed of admitting some things here and there. Just let it go and let it be known that you love each other and forget the pop psycho weirdo who messed up the song."<br><br>She sighed and sat back, "Tris," turning to face him she said, 'If I ever become really stubborn over something stupid or irrelevant slap me around or something until I understand. Cuz honestly, losing the love of your life over something so dim witted is a sad thing to have happen."

				"I know," she said softly and smiled, "You're always the one never hurting me...for the most part. I trust you with everything, and I love you too," saying it like this was so different. It was so much more intimate and warm, her purring of a voice coming out over him. Even with the movie going as she sat up on his arms and went down over his chest with his arms around her she would shudder feeling as if nothing else mattered but Tris. Rae would lean her head up and kiss over his neck before smiling as her eyes closed and her forehead pressed against his jaw line.<br><br>With a mischevious glint her hands came up and a moment later she started to tickle his sides.

				Tris smiled back, reaching up to caress her neck and stroke her hair as Rae snuggled against him.&nbsp; Then she started tickling him.&nbsp; As he chortled from the stimulation, his hands fell back to her sides, grabbing her wrists and forcing them up over her head.&nbsp; "I don't think so," he whispered, pushing her arms down onto her back and pinning them there with one arm.&nbsp; "You really are naughty, aren't you?"&nbsp; His free hand came up, then delivered a playful swat to her pleasantly curved rear end.&nbsp; "So very naughty, and needing such punishment..."&nbsp; Tris's voice was soft and warm, laden with a mixture of desire and mischief.

				"Ah," she inhaled sharply when he grabbed her arms, making them go back behind her, her hazel orbs were blazing in response, a startled laugh escaped when he spanked her, causing her plump bottom to jiggle in response. Rae's full lips twisted up in amusement before she leaned up and her nose touched his own as she ground and wiggled her curvy body down into his. "You're the one spanking me," she pointed out. "If anyone here is naughty I believe that would be you."<br><br>Her hips would grind down and a pleasant moan left her mouth from how the material of his pants would create warm friction to the place between her thighs. "But, if you want to punish me, go ahead. I don't mind. Make me beg," she winked.

Tris replied with an amused smirk, pushing his hips back against her before delivering another swat to her rear end.&nbsp; "So just why is it you feel like you should be punished, hmm?&nbsp; Why would such a sexy woman want to be punished... well, there's some very interesting answers when you phrase it like that," he went on, spanking her harder, still rocking his hips underneath her, aware of the effect it was having.&nbsp;

				When Tris arched his hips up she closed her eyes as a shaky breath would leave her and she bit her lower lip before shrugging her left shoulder and pressing down deeper. "This sexy woman wants the sexy man beneath her to show her who the boss is. To let her know that being bad deserves a punishment, if you're so big and bad you shouldn't feel to hesitant about doing it." Winking she went down and nibbled his lower lip, pulling on the pink succulent flesh before her tongue swept into his mouth and she teasingly kissed him. "Mmmmm," she moaned and pulled back smiling as she kissed over his face and down to his neck.<br><br>Her hands would suddenly pull away from his tight, impressive grip. Rae's strength had always been above average and now she was using it to break free and flipped the bottom of his shirt up swiftly before her palms and fingers slid over his abdomen and then up to his warm, broad chest.

				Tris laughed at her bold manner, swatting her again, then groaned softly as she kissed him.&nbsp; When she pulled free and flipped his shirt up, he laughed even louder, then grabbed her wrists again, holding her in place as he sat up, then stood before dropping her back onto the couch.&nbsp; "You want to be punished, then?" he answered, voice thick with a hint of menace and considerable mischief.&nbsp; "Well, I bet I can do something about that..."&nbsp; Leaning down, he grabbed her shorts and yanked them down her legs, exposing whatever she was (or wasn't) wearing under them.&nbsp; Once they were tossed aside, the large man sat back down on the couch and pulled her over his lap to spank several times.

				Rae was about to give a spunky retort until his large hands moved her, his body filling her vision, as he moved faster then she gave him credit for. "T-Tris," she shouted as her shorts came off showing her lacy black thong, she squealed and tried to kick at him only her big Bear of a boy friend was way too strong and when she was moved over his lap her squeals and yelps echoed in her apartment.<br><br>But suddenly her fit, lethal body jumped and she turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck before yanking him to the side so their bodies landed harshly on the floor with her on top of him, pinning his hands above his head.<br><br>"Try it again Mister, I'll kick your butt."

				Tris blinked at the move and stared up at her for a moment, reminded very much of Isis's fighting style, and her body.&nbsp; She'd pinned him this way at least twice, and that voice...&nbsp; <em>No.&nbsp; No way.&nbsp; There's no damn way,</em> Tris decided, shaking it off, then he lifted his legs and forcing them against her waist before twisting and rolling over, getting her underneath him, and he rocked his hips to grind against her again.&nbsp; "I just bet you will, if I don't tie you up first," he shot back, hands free, and instead of using them to continue their wrestling match, he reached up to caress her breasts through her thin top.&nbsp; "But I've got other things I can do instead of spank you," he whispered, leaning down and moving one hand.&nbsp; His lips were bare inches from hers, then they were against hers and his tongue was pressed up to them, demanding entry.

				"Oh," when the tables were turned and Rae found herself with her spine hard against the floor of her apartment and Tristram's body over hers she felt something weird, like deja' vu. This fighting, while it was playful and much more exciting then when she was in costume and fighting against Phantasm was seriously spurring some memories deep down of being on roof tops and in dark, deep alleys with a large man that seemed to move faster then the Flash.<br><br>With her mind all up in space she gasped when his hands grasped her large breasts, her face blushed and when he kissed her she stiffened, panic made her lurch up and throw him off of her way too fast and hard, sending him back into the coffee table as she lurched up to her feet. Yet Rae realized her mistake and her face blanched, "Oh my god, Tris? Oh goodness, I am so sorry. I flipped out. I didn't mean...I...um, oh goodness. I am such a screw up," she crouched down beside him. "A-Are you...okay?"

				He blinked at the blow, but his instincts let him roll with it.&nbsp; <em>Okay, now <strong>that</strong> was like fighting with Iris...</em> Tris thought to himself with a groan, sitting up and rubbing his back where he'd hit the coffee table.&nbsp; <em>Not that she ever crouched over me, so sweetly concerned, but something about this doesn't add up.&nbsp; Maybe I was right...</em>&nbsp; The man sometimes known as Phantasm forced himself not to show any sign of his suspicions and nodded.&nbsp; "Yeah.&nbsp; Just... ow.&nbsp; I'm fine.&nbsp; Hurt more falling off my roof the other week."&nbsp; He shook his head.&nbsp; "You hit hard for such a little thing, you know that?"&nbsp; The large man pulled her into his lap, but instead of playfully groping this time, he just held her against him and kissed her forehead sweetly.&nbsp; "Was I getting a little too grabby?&nbsp; I'm sorry if I upset you, Rae..." he whispered, nuzzling her hair.

				"Falling off the roof," she questioned and arched a brow, her hand went rubbing in circles along his back, shaking her head she sighed softly and bit her lower lip before saying, "I'm really sorry Tris. Sometimes I don't know the extent of my own strength."&nbsp; When he pulled her over his lap she gulped as her head would become tucked under his chin and fondly he kissed her forehead. Closing her eyes she shook her head as her brows furrowed. "No I'm not upset, I'm sorry. It was...It was nothing." Her lids rose and her gaze met his. "Honestly I'm fine I just. Something happened. That was it." <br><br>Rae could not very well tell him that when he pinned her he reminded her of one of her most handsome and mysterious rivals and that when he touched her it was like he poured cold water all over her head. No because that would give way to a whole new side of herself that she was very reluctant to share with anyone but herself.<br><br>Sitting back her left hand went up along his face and she grabbed his chin between her fore finger and thumb before leaning up to kiss him softly, lingering there tasting him, she would sigh and move a bit so where she was sitting on her knees with her thighs around his lap, her arms went up around his neck as she kissed him. The pace was soft and sweet yet as her desire grew it was much more demanding, hungry.

				"Yes, falling off the roof.&nbsp; I had to clean some stuff off of it after that windstorm."&nbsp; <em>Of course, I had your help doing it the <strong>other</strong> time that week... I think,</em> Tris thought to himself sarcastically, sliding one hand up to stroke her hair.&nbsp; "It's okay.&nbsp; Everyone has their moments, Rae," he whispered softly, looking into her eyes.&nbsp; "Besides, it's not like I haven't gotten slugged a few times.&nbsp; Enough martial arts, you learn to take a hit.&nbsp; Don't worry about it, lovely."&nbsp; When she kissed him, he kissed back, just as sweet at first, and he groaned as it got hungrier, nibbling on her tongue before breaking for air.&nbsp; Breathing heavily, eyes bright with desire, Tris leaned in, tugging on her dark hair to tilt her head back so he could nip and kiss at her neck, his free hand sliding up and caressing the underside of her breast gently.&nbsp; Not a grope, just feeling its warm weight in his palm, then massaging it.&nbsp; "So beautiful..." he whispered, kissing up to her ear, then nibbling her earlobe.

				Rae had always been baffled about how understanding Tris was. It was like he seriously didn't mind that she had punched him or thrown him into a table. How she had so blatantly rejected him because she was distracted, it was like it was just a breeze on a warm day. A startled yet pleased gasp would escape as her head went back with her chocolate brown locks wrapped and tangled around his fingers, she closed her eyes when he kissed her neck. Moaning softly her hips bucked into him when he nipped at the sensitive skin before touching along her full breast. <br><br>With her brows furrowing she leaned into him as he nibbled her ear, making her arms move away and her hands would run down his arms as she felt her heart pounding and softly she turned her head, her eyes sparkling as she was lost in his oceanic blue orbs she smiled and then with a tenderness in her voice that outweighed the nerves that made her voice box shake she told him, "I want you to make love to me."<br><br><em> Really Rae? Are you sure? There's No going back...ever.</em>&nbsp; Inhaling slowly Rae decided he was the one she wanted.

				Tris stopped moving when she said that, then looked at her, licking his lips and taking a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down as he remembered what she'd said in the park.&nbsp; "I'd love to, Rae... but I want to make sure this is what you want," he told her, looking into her eyes.&nbsp; "I want nothing more than to make love to you, Rae.&nbsp; It's been in my dreams for years, haunting me, but I don't want you to do this just because you think you should, or out of some guilt about what just happened."&nbsp; His voice was steady, and his eyes reflected the combination of desire and love for her as he waited for her answer.

				Silence hung between them after his statement, weighing the options she looked into his eyes. What did she want? She wanted Tris, she knew that. It was the one thing she wanted most and while she had him she knew that their relationship had some ways to go. Biting her lower lip she looked into his eyes as she thought about what to say. Finally she pulled herself away and got to her feet, "I do want it." She said, her voice dead pan and filled with honesty. Looking over her shoulder she said gently, "It's kind of embarrassing to say this but you're the only guy I've had fantasies and dirty dreams about."<br><br>Laughing she looked away before saying, " I'm just nervous. I mean you're my best friend now my...boyfriend, if we do this. It'll change a lot. Are relationship would be a bit more serious you know? Commitment and all of that. Do you think we could do all of that, and be alright?" She walked back and crouched in front of him, before going on all fours and crawling around to his back where her arms went around his shoulders and she pressed her breasts to his back as her tank top and thong clad body would seek his for his wonderful scent and the feelings of his body. <br><br>

				"It will be more serious, with more commitment," Tris replied, wrapping his arms around hers as she hugged him.&nbsp; "But I think we can do that, Rae.&nbsp; I've loved you for a long time, wanted you for a long time."&nbsp; He sighed softly, enjoying the feeling and savoring the moment.&nbsp; "I want you.&nbsp; I love you, Rae.&nbsp; I know that together, we can make this work."&nbsp; His hands slid back behind her and grabbed her rear, supporting her as he stood up and walked into her bedroom, then sprawled face-down on the covers.&nbsp; "So, my dear love, if you want me to make love to you, I'll do whatever it takes to make you feel more loved than you've ever felt..." he whispered.

				Tris' words were soothing. It smoothed down her nervously ruffled feathers, metaphorically speaking and gave her a comfort knowing that Tris would work with Rae in this. When he stood up she squealed before hiding her face at the curve of his neck and grinning as he walked with her. When he fell onto the bed she spread her legs over his lower back and sat up, laughing with relief etched in her face.<br><br>"Well, if we're going to do this then you really need to get naked," she whispered as she was leaning down and her lips were brushing his earlobe.

				Tris groaned softly at her kisses.&nbsp; "You're not nearly naked enough, not yet, and I'm not nearly as beautiful as the gorgeous woman I'm about to make love to," he replied mischievously, pulling the sweater over his head and tossing it into a chair, then undoing his belt and sliding off his trousers and boxers, grinning at her wickedly as he was nude save from his socks.&nbsp; Already partially erect, he was over half a foot long and profoundly thick, and he smiled at her very hungrily.&nbsp; "Can I keep my socks on?&nbsp; I'd rather not get cold feet," Tris commented with a naughty wink, walking forward and looming over her, using his height to good advantage as he pressed forward and got onto the bed, forcing her onto her back.

				Sitting back she watched as each article of clothing came off. Rae's breath seemed to become still in her throat as she was exposed to his body. He was larger then life and even more beautiful then a statue. He was fit and muscular in all the right places, with dark hair along his navel down below to frame the member that was already at half mass. Her tongue would run along her lips in a hungry fashion before she gasped and went back, laughing softly as his impressive weight had her usually spunky, strong self weak beneath him. His bare skin along her thighs, her hips, it was all so much.<br><br>"S-Socks...are fine," she stammered and blinked, she looked him over slowly and let out a light groan. He looked so delicious. Well she figured it was time for her to join him in this game. Slowly her hands went to her waist at the band of her tight tank top. Slowly she clingy blue material went up and over her head onto the floor. Her D cup breasts were exposed with her luscious tanned nipples, down to her tones stomach and curved hips.<br><br>She arched up and rolled her thong down her thighs and to her feet. Now naked her thick thighs would part slightly, exposing her juicy, glistening womanhood that ached with arousal. "Now am I naked enough?"

				"I think so," Tris answered with a wicked smirk, standing up and taking a step forward.&nbsp; Instead of the embrace she might've expected, however, he picked her up by her curvy hips and dropped her onto the bed before pulling her hips to the edge and kneeling next to it.&nbsp; Taking her right leg in hand, Tris brought her foot up to his lips, kissing the sole, then each toe, before he began to nibble and lick down each lovely inch, caressing her muscles with teeth, lips, and tongue.&nbsp; "Mmmm..." he growled, reaching her thigh, moving faster and nipping a little harder.&nbsp; "So lovely."&nbsp; His voice was soft and sensually wicked as he caressed her skin, fingers sliding along her leg lovingly.<br><br>Finally, he found himself nose-to-skin with her groin and ran his tongue from top to bottom of the fold, listening to her response, and then he moved a little closer to her lips.&nbsp; "I think you want a little attention here, don't you?" Tris teased, his face close enough that the movement of his breath from his speech blew over the sensitive flesh.&nbsp; Slowly, he kissed and nipped his way around them, then caught one and nibbled it.&nbsp; Letting her leg back down, he moved his hands up, groping her curvy ass and spreading it for him to run his tongue from her anus up to her lips, then flick it over them.&nbsp; As his fingers teased around the rear opening without even getting near penetration, his other hand slid her lips apart so he could drive a tongue as outsized as the rest of him in, penetrating her vagina and writing inside her before retreating, bringing a taste of her juices with it.&nbsp; "Mm-mmm," he moaned, licking his lips.&nbsp; "Sweet and saucy, just like you."&nbsp; Instead of repeating that oral penetration, though, he kissed up to her clit and wrapped it in his lips, drawing his head back to let it pop free from his mouth before swishing his tongue over that ever-so-sensitive jewel.&nbsp; Gently, his teeth began to nibble before he suckled, and her lover pushed two long, broad fingers into her body, where they curled and twisted before retreating, only to drive in again.

				With an intense gaze Rae watched her foot come up, smiling just as wicked as Tris as he kissed her heel, along her high arches and then over her toes. Giggling she turned her head, moaning when his mouth went forward and he kissed up her ankle, over her muscular calves and succulent thighs. Her breathing caught as his mouth nipped at her flesh until he was right there between her. Her brows rose and she looked down just in time to see his tongue run a delicious course up her womanhood. "Ohhhh," she moaned softly, having never quite felt something like it, her hands gripped the bed sheets and her eyes closed before gulping when he began to tease and nip. <br><br>When he licked her again her hips bucked up, her breasts bounced for a moment until she relaxed only to let out a jolt of a moan when he groped and licked her further, even to her tight anus, teasing her. As if making her think he just might slid a finger inside there. "Tris-ssssaaaah!" To feel his tongue inside of her was magic. No, when his lips wrapped around her hyper sensitive clitoris and he sucked and pulled her thighs shook without control, the engorged clitoris was throbbing in response to his teasing. Rae's hands gripped her breasts as her moans filled the room, whimpering when he nibbled just to no sooner penetrate her with his two fingers.<br><br>"Oh god, Oh my god! Yes," she moaned, "Please Tris. More, mmmm, f-fuck me with your fingers, please I'm begging you." She looked down, licking her dry lips, he looked so good between her legs. But even so she would looked further between his thighs, imagining that inside of her made her groan.

				Rae was about to kick him for being so impish, the man was a tease. She was going to fuss at him until his fingers dove back into her honey soaked warmth making her eyes roll back into her head. She shuddered and pressed her lips together, feeling his mouth take hold of her bud of nerves. The shaking was unstoppable it affected her down to the core of her very voice. Her moans would skip, calling his name was a chore itself as she stuttered over the Ts.<br><br>Her arms rose up and gripped the top of her mattress, while her hips would push forward as her spine arched back. Looking down she panted, while her feet dug into the sheets and she buckedagainst his fingers as her tight, virgin womanhood stretched around his three digits.<br><br>"Tris," she said, her voice husky, "I'm gonna...cum...if you keep do-ooinnnngg that!" She yelped and then as her sexy, seductive moans grew louder it was all said and done, her womanhood contracted and without any self control holding&nbsp; her back she came with a scream. Her juices squirted down his fingers around his palms and wrists, her tight anus would squeeze, arching away from his teasing hand. With Rae's body hot and her face pink she was lost in her orgasm as her curves stopped moving and her breasts rose and fell heavily. "Oh. My. God."

				Tris leaned back, withdrawing his fingers to let her settle back down, then he started to lick his hand clean, making appreciative noises at her.&nbsp; That done, he rose to his full height, towering over his short, voluptuous lover, and then he knelt over her on the bed, pushing her back to get the room he needed before he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers hungrily, demanding that she respond to his kiss.&nbsp; One large hand descended on her breast, cupping it gently, squeezing, then he pinched her nipple hard, the first time he'd ever touched her bare breast, knowing from her responses before she liked things at least a little rough.&nbsp; Breaking away from their kiss but still teasing and stimulating her breast, he grinned at her.&nbsp; "I trust you're satisfied with my performance so far, Rae?" he teased, pinching her nipple again just as she started to answer.

				Tris was glorious, naked and hungry for her body she could not draw away her eyes. Looking up at him she shuddered and turned her head a bit until he leaned down and kiss her. She closed her eyes and responded hungrily, moaning into his mouth as he grasped her breast. The tender flesh would flow over his hand as her nipples hardened in response. She hissed with pleasure when he pulled on the tan areola and gave him a saucy little smile as he moved back.<br><br>"I approve," she purred, "If I were to grade you I would say...mm, A minus," she winked having felt his pinch her hands rose and grasped his shoulders and with a swiftness so uncharacteristic of her she moved him onto his back and her body would sway on all for over his. Leaning down she kissed his lips softly, tasting him and savoring his male flavor before sighing and kissing down his neck. Her left hand would run along his chest, shuddering herself at how good he felt. "So sexy," she murmured into his ear, nibbling at the edges of his ear before licking down the vein of his neck and flicking her wet appendage over his adam's apple as her palm slid lower.<br><br>Reaching his narrow, firm hips she would pull back and looked as her small, soft fingers wrapped slowly around his thick cock, humming in appreciation as she stroked his length and looked up with a smile. "I wonder if I can please you just as much."

				Laughing softly, she nodded and looked up her hazel eyes now more of an impressive golden color with green and brown flecks under the surface as she murmured, "I know exactly what you mean, and believe me, I'll make sure you're moaning and cumming in my mouth at the end of all of this." She let her eye fall in a flirty wink as she slid down, trapped in the embrace of his strong legs she didn't mind though. Steadily her hand pumped his cock before she bent over him. Her brown hair brushed his thighs as her lips parted and her tongue lapped slowly at the head of his cock, prodding into the satly, wet slit of his crown before running her tongue in languid, sweet circles around him. Then she moved down as her lips parted and closed around the first inch of his cock, sucking in softly upwards before moving down.<br><br>She repeated the movement a few times before she went lower, moaning as her mouth suckled on his hard, throbbing length. Rae's hands gripped his thighs as she moved more into her mouth, working him with her tongue and lips as she she tilted her head now had three inches in her mouth as her cheeks stretched around his girth. Coming up she licked her wet lips and smiled before going down again after regaining her breath and then whispering as she licked down his cock completely, "Delicious."

				"I'll hold you to thaaaaaaaah."&nbsp; The sound of his voice trailed off into a low, sensual moan when her lips and tongue came into contact with the crown of his manhood, then he shivered when she prodded the slit, his muscular, powerful legs constricting a little closer around her.&nbsp; When his lover took him into her mouth and started to bob up and down, Tris's eyes closed and he let loose a loud, powerful sigh from the sheer pleasure.&nbsp; "I'm glad you approve," he whispered back, voice breathy, one hand reaching down for her head, gently stroking her hair.&nbsp; Licking his suddenly dry lips, he went on, "If you don't finish this Rae... I might just go mad..."&nbsp; The combination of sensual pleasure and the passion of finally being in this position with his first and only true love made him groan loudly the next time she placed her lips on his cock, and the man sometimes known as the Phantasm gritted his teeth against the desire to clasp his legs tighter, too tightly, around his lady love, and he grabbed at the blanket forcefully.

				With a mischievous little giggle she looked up as he told her me would go insane if she didn't carry this out. Rae would suckle more, as much as she could fit before she felt as if she might choke, her tongue would dance and twirl, prodding and flattening against his fat cock. Gods he tasted so amazing and how he reacted and the sexy moans he made just made her revved up once more. He definitely pleased her in so many ways. She came up licking her lips and grinned, "Believe me Tris, I want to taste you and have you exploding from this, this won't be the first time either." Of that she would make sure.<br><br>Her left hand came down between his thighs and carefully yet also teasingly she cupped his balls and caressed and massaged as her mouth came back down all around his girth that was bulging with veins, pumping with blood of desire. Rae tilted her head and licked down the side of his cock before suckling on the edges and the places she couldn't reach before.

				His voice carried another long, loud groan when she sucked in that much of him, toes curling with delight.&nbsp; "Oh, god, Rae..." Tris groaned, closing his eyes and enjoying the sensation of her tongue performing such lewd acts on him.&nbsp; "And if you keep this up much longer, there won't be much question about me exploding!"&nbsp; A long, loud moan erupted when she started to play with his balls at the same time as her mouth descended one more time.&nbsp; "Nnnngh," he groaned, arching his back in pleasure.&nbsp; "Rae, not much more... I'm gonna cum..."&nbsp; The hand on her blanket grabbed harder, twisting the fabric, and her licks and suckling drove him over the edge, pushing him to orgasm with a loud groan.&nbsp; Thick, ropy spurts of his seed erupted from the head of his cock, exploding, really, landing places from his belly to her hair and everywhere in between.&nbsp; Rae's bear relaxed against the bed, breathing deeply as he came down from his release.&nbsp; "Oh god... Rae, I love you..." he gasped, forcing himself up on his elbows to give her a warm, satisfied smile, voice breathy.

				Urging Tris onwards with her tongue she smiled when he let out that sexy groan her eyes watched as his cock pulsed and then his seed would erupt like a hot volcano. She moaned softly as his cum would streak across her right cheek and then between her breasts and along her shoulders and neck, licking her lower lip she even tasted his cum there. Sitting back with his legs still around her she chuckled and wiped away the remnants of his orgasm, what she could see at least until he sat up. Rae's gaze softened and she smiled deeply, "I love you too," she whispered, "More then you could begin to comprehend."&nbsp; Coming forward her head ducked and she kissed him, hotly. <br><br>Her right hand went up through his dark hair as she would make love to him with her tongue against his, her hips were over his and his sensitive member was to the back of her luscious thighs against her juicy bottom.&nbsp; She nibbled his lower lip before she pulled away and sighed. "Tris," she said his name with deep, loving affection towards her most special person, her Bear. She smiled and murmured, "Once you recover, we've got business to take care of, pronto?"

				Tris slid his arms around her, holding her against him as they kissed, his tongue not just dancing with hers, but forcing hers to dance to its tune.&nbsp; "Oh, we've got <em>business</em>, do we?" he murmured teasingly.&nbsp; "I feel like I've been asked to give a noble lady a command performance."&nbsp; His head moved forward, and he nuzzled her nose, his erection already hardening again with a luscious, gorgeous woman on top of him that way.&nbsp; Large hands like the paws of the bear she thought of him as slid off of her back and cupped her breasts once more, squeezing them and caressing them, teasing her nipples with a caress or a pinch, then moving back to the gentle massage.&nbsp; "And she's a very beautiful lady indeed, Rae..."<br><br>Suddenly, he bucked his hips and flexed, pushing her over and landing on top of her.&nbsp; Raising himself on his arms, Tris smiled down at her, positioning himself so that his shaft was grinding against her lips, the thickness of it apparent to the same organ it would soon be filling.&nbsp; "So beautiful," he whispered, looking down at her.&nbsp; One hand slid between them, parting her lips, and then his crown was at the opening to her body.&nbsp; A moment later, the thick, fat head of his cock was inside her, followed by another inch before he paused, letting her adjust to the feel of him.

				Now on her back she laughed a bit, "Well didn't you know by now Tris? I am a noble lady feel compelled to please me, plebeian,"&nbsp; her voice was completely kidding even though beneath that was a deep huskiness that begged for him to fill her. Looking up at his body she would lick her lips, he looked like a Roman God above her, so impressive in size yet all hers to have. She would smile as his thighs came to rest between her own which were spread wide for him. Nerves made her shake but she was more then just nervous or scared, she was excited and exceedingly aroused.&nbsp; When he called her beautiful she blushed before his cock slowly began to venture into her tight, wet virgin depths.<br><br>Her brows rose up slowly and she gasped before her head tilted back and she moaned as his thick crown would dive into her folds, making her wince as another inch went inside but she didn't stop him just yet. Instead her hips rose towards him as she waited for more of his shaft to stretch her, to claim her.<br><br>Rae's breath came a bit fast, flushed and horny she licked her lips, "S-Slow, at first, please..."

				Tristram laughed with a wicked glint in his eyes.&nbsp; "I'm not the one who just impaled herself even further, silly," he answered, voice husky with the desire to spear her completely, take her and make her his in a single frenzy of motion and passion.&nbsp; Marshaling the same force of will that kept him from getting killed in those early, dangerous experiments with his powers, not nearly so safe as her manipulation of ice, Tris kept that desire in check, instead pushing in another slow, agonizing inch.&nbsp; Holding himself there, on the edge of falling into mindless lust, he reached up and teased her clit, rubbing it gently, then pinching as he forced another inch of his thick cock into her, the wet, hot vise of her tunnel unbelievably arousing.

				Breathless she smiled and then moaned, "True," she had to agree with him there. She was ready for him to work his hips madly into hers yet then again she wasn't. Looking down as his cock went in further she gasped and then whimpered, feeling the head of his cock press against a thin, sensitive membrane that would have to be broken, sooner or later. Looking into his eyes she figured she had experience much worse pain then having her virginity being taken.<br><br>Her arms rose up around his shoulders as she pressed his body down over hers and her strong, shapely legs lifted and wrapped around his waist, "Take me," she moaned, "Just...please, no going slow, I want you now. I've waited far too long."

				Tris stared into her hazel eyes, bewitching and intense right now, and nodded slowly.&nbsp; "As you like, Rae," he whispered, bending down to kiss her forehead, then he plunged in the rest of the way, breaking her hymen with barely a pause and burying himself in her body with a loud moan.&nbsp; Joined at the hips, he held them both there, letting her get used to the feeling of being so completely filled, then he retreated quickly and thrust into her tight body once again, groaning loudly from the feel of her clinging to him.&nbsp; "Oh god, Rae..." he moaned, starting a steady rhythm of fast thrusts and withdrawals, the sounds of pleasure constantly issuing from his mouth.

				When Tris' cock became buried in her warmth a soft scream of pleasure and pain left her mouth, arching her back as her face tilted up to the ceiling and her eyes opened wide before fluttering close. Her lips fell together in a deep moan as he was still for a moment until he started to move. Definitely unused to this Rae would lay still at first, whimpering as he would pull out and then push in, hearing her name from his lips she looked up, breathing a bit fast her heart slammed against her chest before moaning. <br><br>"Tris," she gasped as his cock pushed back in, stretching her tight box and making her body succumb to his motions. He moved so well, so good. Desperately she would groan and cling to him, urging him to keep going as her hips rolled up finally. Falling into their own, personal rhythm her breasts would bounce and sway with each thrust as the sheets rustled and the mattress shook against the head board just a little before knocking against the wall.<br><br>"Oh Tris, oh my god, you feel so good. Don't stop...please, I love you." She said as her voice trembled.

				His heart was racing with the excitement of the moment, and Tris gave voice to a long, low growl of satisfaction.&nbsp; Instead of slowing down, he sped up, the blood rushing in his ears and hormones singing in his blood driving him to start pounding his lover harder, give her what they both wanted.&nbsp; Groaning loudly at the sight of her bouncing breasts, he whispered back, "God, I can't believe how wonderful you are... I love you, Rae."&nbsp; The noise of the headboard got louder and more frequent as each thrust slammed into her body, his balls slapping against her meaty ass almost painfully, the toned muscles of his body turned to a purpose of passion and love that he never thought he'd get.&nbsp; Each thrust into her incredibly tight box drove his rod into a hot, moist, grasping vise, and it was driving him wild, but after her spectacular blowjob, he felt like he could take her all night if that's what it took to pleasure the love of his life the way she deserved.

				At the increase of speed and force Rae's eyes would roll back as her spine arched up like a finely tuned bow as he drove himself home. She would looked up, her gaze hazy and full of feelings and lust she could not formulate into words for fear of passing out. It felt like Nirvana, the way his manhood fit perfectly into her just made her know this was all meant to be. Nothing could pull this feeling away from her. With their skin smacking together in a musical, erotic beat Rae's moans grew much more frequent and way louder. Hitting husky low tones and then high sopranos as he rocked her world, Rae gave in to the sexual song deep inside her soul that demanded she give him her all for that was what he deserved. <br><br>"I love you too," she whispered, rising up when his crown hit a tender spot that sent her screaming and her arms went around his neck as her legs locked around his lower back. "Oh Tris," she moaned, "Tris!" Calling his name was the sweetest song to her ears and it was all she wanted. Rocking her body into his their hips and flesh would collide, as she fell back, breathless and dazed as her pleasure filled pussy tightened around his cock, throbbing almost painfully.

				When her eyes rolled back, Tris knew he had her, and the way her back arched with his thrusts just made him even more sure.&nbsp; His blue eyes were almost electric as they locked onto her gaze, just as lusty and intensely emotional.&nbsp; She fit him like a glove, like she was made for him and he for her.&nbsp; The feeling of him pounding into her, the slap of skin on skin, her loud, frequent moans and soprano squeals, all of it drove him to push harder and faster.&nbsp; One meaty paw had her clit, rubbing first, then pinching and grinding, mixing pleasure and pain to the sensitive nerves.&nbsp; "I love you, Rae.&nbsp; Make love to me.&nbsp; Show me what that hot body was made for," he groaned back at her, feeling the way her pussy was tightening and squeezing him.&nbsp; "I want you to cum for me.&nbsp; I want you to scream out you love me and <em>climax</em>, Rae!"&nbsp; The snap of his voice was hard, like the impact of a bullet on stone, and he pinched her clit harder than before at the same as he delivered an especially fast thrust, burying himself in her all the way, his crown pounding onto and past that same sensitive spot.

				The attention he gave to her clitoris was absolutely delicious. Her breathing quickened as he grinded almost painfully into her yet even so all she felt was intense pleasure. Tilting her face to the ceiling her cried were desperate as he told her to make love to him. She would, every time she was near him she would some how, some way make deep incredible love to the only man she had ever felt so intensely for. With his command she gasped and then yelped as he thrusted so hard into her he nearly broke into her cervix, making her scream but then arch up and kiss him desperately before screaming against his neck, "I love you! Oh fuck, oh my god, Tristram Rooke, I love you so much." She shook violently as his member would tap against her g-spot making her jolt into his body. <br><br>With that being done to her she could only do one thing and that was orgasm. She was losing&nbsp; control and Tris was just the one to make her dive into the lands of pure, intense pleasure. With her cry of warning she orgasmed. Her juices, hot and sweet flowed down his cock as the waves of pleasure shook her to the very core of her being. "Ohhhhhh! Tris," she gasped, "I love you. I've always loved you...oh my god, yes this is what...I've been waiting fo-ooorrr," she screamed.

				Tris's own breathing wasn't exactly slow, although it was from excitement far more than exertion - he got more of a workout than this throwing down with Isis whenever she'd show up to interfere and annoy him in the middle of doing something he didn't even like dealing with in the first place.&nbsp; But this... the feel of her body swallowing his shaft, the way their skin met, the deliciously hot friction, just the sheer visual thrill of watching her voluptuous form respond to him and know that his oldest friend, the woman he loved most in the world, was moaning and screaming for him, that he was doing this to her, for her, was driving him up a wall.&nbsp; Tris was groaning himself, and despite the fact that he'd just cum all over her, Rae's responses had him on the edge of exploding all over again and pouring his seed inside her womb.<br><br>When Rae hit orgasm, lost all control and fell over the precipice of ecstasy, her screams were like music to his soul.&nbsp; Burying himself to the hilt in her, his cock twitched, then spurted deep inside her body, his entire massive body shuddering, back arched.&nbsp; "Oh god, Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeee!" he groaned, dipping his head against her forehead, gasping for breath.&nbsp; "I love you, Rae..."&nbsp; His eyes closed as the salty water of his sweat dripped off of his muscular form onto her body.&nbsp; Tris was breathing heavily, still mostly hard and buried inside her as they both recovered.

				A moment was needed for them to catch their breaths and slowly fall down from cloud nine. Rae would lick her lips and tilt up her head kissing him softly as she moaned as her tender pussy throbbed once around him. The tanned globes along her chest were gleaming with sweat as the succulent valley between them was wet and trickling down her stomach as more perspiration would shine on her face and neck. Slowly her head fell back into the pillows as she attempted to form articulate words. Smiling up at him she would push up with her elbows behind her before her left hand reached up and cupped his face.<br><br>"Amazing," she spoke with her voice half way gone and her face pink and hot. She smiled and nipped at his lower lip before chuckling, "If I had known that having sex with you would end up feeling like this I would have done it a whole lot sooner," she said and winked cheekily. "Hearing you scream my name really turns me on by the way. God, I love you." With that said she sat back and winced as his thick length slid from her and made her grunt as her tight walls were now sore and bruised yet pleasantly so, like after an intense work out. With half her body sitting up she kissed over his broad chest, "I love you Big Bear."

				Tris was still shuddering and recovering when she pushed up, her full breasts brushing against his chest, and the hand on his face dragged him back to reality, and he listened to her.&nbsp; "I love you too, Rae."&nbsp; He grinned like a fool at her words, then nipped at her nose playfully.&nbsp; "I'll have to make sure I can arrange for us to be in a position where I can scream it out more often.&nbsp; Have I told you lately how drop-dead sexy you are?&nbsp; Or how much I want to just play with your breasts until you beg me to fuck you just to get off?" Tris whispered, lips next to her ears.&nbsp; "I know you've been told this before, but <em>damn</em> are they sexy..."&nbsp; His arms wrapped around her, then he pulled them onto their sides, letting him relax.&nbsp; One leg remained between hers, while the other found its way underneath to keep his weight off of her body.&nbsp; Laying on his right side, his left hand came down, caressing and massaging her breast, sometimes stimulating her nipple (gently or not), then squeezing and massaging the entire gorgeous whole once more.

				Hearing his lewd yet oddly sensual words she would giggle and hummed, "No you haven't told me how sexy I was or how great my boobs were, tell me again," she teased. Purring as her body was pulled close to his, laying on her back with Tris cuddled up to her on his side she closed her eyes in pure blissful relaxation while he would touch and caress her body. Making her weak and hot headed all over again as he fondled her breasts. "So naughty," she whispered, "Mmm. But I know you can do much better then that," she smirked. <br><br>Wow laying next to such a sexy man whose form was long and buff was a lot more intimate then she first thought. With her full sized bed they were pressed together firmly but it was definitely a good thing. While usually she was cold and totally against the heat she could handle his warmth because she had known it for so long. It was apart of her even more so now that they had just spent eachother out on the other's body.<br><br>"Has anyone ever told you, you're kind of gorgeous," she asked and arched her brow, being totally serious now.

				"You've loved me for most of your life," Rae questioned softly, her brows rising curiously before she whispered, "When did you start loving me? Do you remember...because I do," she blushed and smiled a bit. Moving a little with his cock still inside her leg would loop back wards over his hip, sighing as each time they shifted or moved an inch, causing his cock to brush her insides. "Mmm," she kissed him back, "Yes of course I think so. I've always thought my Big Bear to be gorgeous. I mean you easily could have been chosen by Davinci to pose for him for one of his great sculptures. You're everything I want and more." <br><br>She ran her fingers over the hair on his arm as she hummed a sweet tune, smiling as she did. Moving her head from right to left she murmured the words, her singing voice was phenomenal, in high school she had placed a few times with her Show Choir when doing solos and in college she had joined up in a Jazz Band for credit hours. A hidden talent among many, but Tris knew.<br><br>

I mean."&nbsp; He rubbed the back of his head.&nbsp; "When a gorgeous woman like you tells me something like that... a lady who <em>knows</em> she's one of the sexiest things on Earth..."&nbsp; He stopped talking, then leaned in and kissed her fiercely, pulling her against his broad, muscular chest, then listened to her singing.&nbsp; "You've kept in practice, haven't you, Rae?"&nbsp; Tris knew about her talent, and he'd always loved her singing voice.&nbsp; It settled him, drew him in... it was as gorgeous as her heart and body, in his opinion.

				That night was spent making love in ways Rae never though possible. She had indeed kept in practice and told him so but would refuse to actually sing anything. Through the night until around three in the morning they would spend their bodies on each other until it was too much. <br><br>When the next day rolled around and Rae was in her office she sighed as she looked out her window, tapping her foot as her mind wandered for the hundredth time that day thinking about Tris and his god like stature. Perking an eyebrow when a young reporter came in she suddenly remembered her duties and set to work for writing. Before she left that afternoon Rae sent Tris a text message and smiled, "I love you bunches," she wrote and sent. There would be no date that night at least not until way later. <br><br>Getting home had her taking a long bath and washing up she was still a bit sore in her neither regions, all the rest of her was fine but that spot was especially tender. Rae got out and put on her suit. Being a superhero called for spandex and tights, the body suit fit her like a glove from her shoulders down to her toes. It exposed her collar bone down to her luscious cleavage before the white material with blue wisps of designs came down to her stomach, around her thick thighs and then disappeared into her blue, tight, shining boots which were flat and easy to move in. With her long brown hair down and a mask along her face that covered from her forehead to the bottom of her nose she was pretty much hidden but not quite. In time she might make modifications. But right now she had a job to do.<br><br>Running from her bedroom window, Rae or rather, Isis, jumped and right under her ice formed, like a skier she kept moving as the ice kept manifesting sending her up into the air as her legs moved. She heard from a friend of hers that people were setting up a robbery at a museum so long as people who were innocent were not involved she would leave a low profile.

				Tris left at about the same time she did, after a shower marked by a lot of groping and fun but nothing too heavy, making a date with her for a late-night rendezvous with her that night - evidently, he had something of his own he had to deal with.&nbsp; He never talked much about about his job, not details, but she knew he wasn't too happy with it.&nbsp; Her lover had even made comments about working toward moving into another field, something that seemed to please him, but he had to "settle things all the way" first.<br><br>That evening, acting on her tip, the heroine arrived to the museum to find at least <em>one</em> presumed robber waiting for her, tall, statuesque, and judging from his body language, fairly bored.&nbsp; Leaning back against the metallic housing for one of the museum's air conditioning units, arms crossed over his chest and one foot up against the housing, was Phantasm.&nbsp; His pale purple-covered head, a full head mask with a wraparound visor that had a single dark gray optical slot, was unmistakable to any of the night folks in Midway.&nbsp; The basic suit was a Kevlar-spandex weave, a practical concession to the fact that every so often in his line of work, you got shot at, with the purple from the mask trailing down in four stripes, one along the outside of each arm and another, broader one, down the front and back of his torso, widening out to run down into his boots.&nbsp; The boots and gloves were a darker shade of purple, with the same lighter purple as his suit marking the reinforcements along the back of the gloves and around the front and toes of his boots.&nbsp; A soft gray marked the rest of his suit.&nbsp; Without looking at her, he raised one hand, giving her a jaunty, sarcastic little wave.&nbsp; "Something I can do for you, Isis?" the villain commented, the voice inhuman and artificial from the distortion module in his mask.&nbsp; "Or are you just coming to visit the museum at closing time the same as I am?"&nbsp; Somehow, the distortion didn't prevent biting sarcasm from coming through loud and clear.

				Landing gracefully Isis frowned, walking forward as she regained her footing from the skiing through the city's streets. Seeing Phantasm there was definitely not what she wanted right now. But this was one of her biggest rivals. While he had never killed anyone for as far as he knew the mess he brought for her and the threat he imposed did not go unnoticed. Coming forward his form, even when he was relaxing back, dwarfed hers. It unsettled her. "Yeah," she said in a biting tone, "I like to take my tours after closing hours, it's creepier that way."<br><br>Licking her full lips she said, "Look Phantasm, whatever you're here to get will not be going with you. I'll make sure of that. Honestly, you should just give up this pitiful act." Suddenly her body disappeared, and with steps as light as a feather she moved, and then jumped up over the metal unit, ice appeared but for a second to show that she was using her powers as she landed on the roof of the museum.

				A flicker of light was her only warning, and then Phantasm was in front of her again, looking down right at her.&nbsp; "It's a little rude for you to walk off like that, Isis.&nbsp; I only wanted to talk."&nbsp; She was still invisible, but that never seemed to matter to him.&nbsp; He was the only one of her foes to whom her invisibility meant nothing, <em>less</em> that nothing.&nbsp; "I'm not here to steal anything."&nbsp; That was probably true - with his power of teleportation, a cop's ability to stop him was approximately nil, and his strength, reflexes, and stamina only made it worse.&nbsp; "And unlike <em>some</em> tight-assed, uptight, priggish heroines who probably can't get dates to save their lives, let alone get laid, I'm not playing games.&nbsp; Standing around in plain sight and waiting for you before pulling something would be the act of an idiot.&nbsp; How stupid do you think I am?"

				Shuddering, Rae's figure appeared and her eyes narrowed slowly as she looked at him. "Uptight and priggish," she squeaked. "Whatever you huge, disgusting boar. I am not those things! And I'll have you know that I can get laid and I have, in fact I have a boyfriend, so there!" She came up and poked his chest, never realizing how hard his body was as her finger bent back a bit before she huffed. "Well if you're not here to steal anything you idiot what <em>are</em> you here to do?" Putting her hands on her hips she realized that she had told this dolt she had a boyfriend. Shoot, what if Tris was harmed because of her big mouth and foolish pride?<br><br>Silently Rae prayed that he could over look that. Isis backed up as her eyes looked him up and down, "I bet under that suit you are butt ugly anyways. Hah, me not able to get a date, puh-lease," she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms under her big breasts. "So tell me then, Phantasm, why are you here? Sure as hell not here to look pretty."

				Phantasm chuckled, hollow and unearthly.&nbsp; Tris, on the other hand, was frowning.&nbsp; Her voice and mannerisms, the way she responded when you got her mad, the way she looked now that he knew what to look for.&nbsp; It was Rae, alright.&nbsp; She's think something was wrong if he didn't respond... and he couldn't tell her.&nbsp; Not now, not like this.&nbsp; Besides, he was there for a reason.&nbsp; "If only you knew what I looked like.&nbsp; Oh, wait... I'm the only one you can't seem to ever <em>catch</em>.&nbsp; But no, I'm not here to look pretty.&nbsp; I have annoying so-called heroines to do that for me."&nbsp; Turning his back on her, he walked to the edge of the roof, looking down.&nbsp; "I'm not here to <em>steal</em> anything.&nbsp; I'm here to keep <em>those</em> clowns from stealing something, and I thought I'd stop them from getting some of the school kids that are going to be there tonight killed by bungling it in the bargain," he explained, pointing down at a pair of panel vans.&nbsp; The faceless mask turned to regard her, that visor locking on her eyes.&nbsp; "Or is the idea that just maybe I'm not as bad as you like to think too challenging for your limited mind to grasp?"

				Phantasm's answer was a little unexpected. Her brow perked under her mask and her pouty lips frowned a bit as she dropped her arms and walked to where he was standing. There were vans down there and they looked way too suspicious. Crap, so Phantasm wasn't in this plan? Or was he? Maybe he was their secret weapon, how could she know? For now she played along and whirled around on him. "Well fine maybe you're not here to steal. But I'm coming along with you every step of the way to make sure not one innocent human is hurt."<br><br>Running a gloved hand back through her hair she crouched as her eyes viewed the vans, "So. Any clue as to when they plan to move? Or should we just move and make sure they never get a foot inside of the museum?" Looking up she realized he seriously was a big man. Especially now that she was not even standing.

				"Another few minutes," Phantasm answered, looking down at the vans.&nbsp; "I was wondering when you were going to show up, thinking I'd have to handle them myself.&nbsp; Leave it to a woman to run late."&nbsp; Inside the mask, Tris was weighing his options.&nbsp; "Stand up and hold still.&nbsp; We move now."&nbsp; His voice was absolutely hard underneath the distortion, not the usual bantering he used on her most of the time.

				Scoffing she said, "Well excuse me but I do have a life you know, I had to rush to get here." She sighed and got up slowly to her feet, looking once more over the edge before backing up. She could not believe she was working with a criminal but protecting people, children no less sometimes was a much bigger issue then who became your partner, much less the ring leader. Looking up she said, "Alright then." Moving she shut up now as she followed him, letting Phantasm lead the way, Isis had to shove any negative thoughts away.

				Phantasm didn't say anything else, no jokes, no nothing.&nbsp; Instead, he seemed to have almost lost focus on the world entirely.&nbsp; Under the mask, Tris concentrated, eyes closed, focus turned inward as he reached out with that uncanny spatial sense that guided him in his teleportation.&nbsp; Like this, he saw, really <em>saw</em> Isis far more intimately than ever before.&nbsp; There had never been the opportunity for him to the sort of deep, intimate examination of her, but he'd spent so much time relaxed around Rae that he'd "seen" every square inch of her flesh several times, and he knew it intimately.&nbsp; It was one reason he'd decided to attack this way, the opportunity to make Isis stand up, stay still, and let him focus on her.&nbsp; There was no doubt - it was Rae, every little blemish and scar that made her beauty mean so much more.<br><br>The other reason was that it gave them an incredible opportunity to get the drop on the thugs down below.&nbsp; His focus wasn't just necessary to get a look at Isis, make damn sure it was Rae.&nbsp; It was necessary for him to fix <em>everything</em> in his mind, the location and the vector, to not only pluck himself - that was easy, instinctive, just as people don't have to actually think to move their arms - but Isis up, making sure he got all of her, perfectly and naturally, and bend space so that they were no longer <em>there</em> on the roof, but leave her standing on top of the central support of the roof of one the vans, her entire form there intact, with him in front of the other, both of them free to respond as they saw fit.&nbsp; Leaving Isis to her own devices - as protective as he was of Rae, Tris knew damn well she had more experience in this kind of takedown than he did - Phantasm took the expedient of punching through the hood of the van, grabbing the engine block, and simply ripping it loose with a loud grunt of effort, flinging it down on the pavement to skid and tumble twenty feet.&nbsp; Wherever these clowns went, it wouldn't be using this van.<br><br>With the van immobilized, the purple and gray villain grabbed one tire well and instead of going around the car, jerked it so the passenger side was next to him.&nbsp; A swift blow shattered the passenger side window, and what wasn't destroyed by his fist was knocked out as he hauled the shabby thug inside out and tossed him after the engine, considerably more gently but still hard enough to not only knock the air out of him, but stun him for long enough to deal with his 'colleagues'.&nbsp; The back door opened and the next criminal came out pistol first.&nbsp; Phantasm simultaneously took a step back and reached out, caught his wrist, and twisted, breaking his arm and making him drop the gun a split-second before a violet fist crashed into his jaw, knocking him out cold.&nbsp; He dropped like a rock, and the villain didn't bother to hold him up, instead vaulting over the van and landing feet first on the driver, the better part of 300 lbs. of man and costume knocking him off his feet.&nbsp; Rolling off of him, Phantasm clapped his hands down on each side of the wheel man's head, the combination of pain, impact, and sheer pressure putting him out like a light.&nbsp; Reaching out to locate the fourth, he stood up, then teleported right behind him, grabbing his collar.&nbsp; The criminal jerked back comically, gun flying out of his hand before he was suddenly and unceremoniously introduced to a tree, twice, bruising five ribs and cracking one before succumbing to pain and shock to fall mercifully into unconsciousness.&nbsp; Phantasm ported back over the fourth and casually caught him standing up before giving his solar plexus an introduction to the larger, stronger man's fist.&nbsp; Turning around, he looked over to see how Isis was doing.

				The sudden shift in setting made Rae feel very odd, as if her body were catching up and she felt her weight return slowly. Being set down on a van she barely even noticed that familiar smell of Tris clinging to Phantasm's being. She barely noticed anything until she realized she was right aboive the criminals she was supposed to ruin. Wasting no more time her body vanished. The people in the can below began to throw out expletives as they saw the large purple figure tear up the other car that their buddies were in. Isis had to hand it to Phantasm he knew how to make a scene.<br><br>The driver's door opened first and when the man stepped out a blow landed on his cheek making him yell out in pain as something slammed into him and made him hit his head on the door. Rae's invisible hand picked him up by the hair and she slammed his head into the door again to knock him out. "What in the," a man began as the back door slid open, showing four other men with a fifth one in the passenger's seat. "Craig what are you doin'," a blond man asked before jumping out and cocking his gun.<br><br>Suddenly Rae's figure appeared and she smiled, "Evenin' fellas," the man yelped in alarm and was about to shoot, he did actually, the gun shot echoed but landed bluntly against the shield of thick ice that covered and wrapped around her warm as more ice jutted up and covered her face. Her other hand jerked out and caught his gut in a punch before she twirled like a dancer and her foot kicked up into his face.<br><br>The others began to move, taking her short body and soft curves into consideration, making them think she was weak enough to be brought down by four men at once. Instantly her body became transparent and with that move she smiled and crouched as a man swung his arm only to catch his fellow thug in the neck. With her body down Rae's leg jutted out and she spun, knocking them all of their feet. Their grouped yells made her giggle as she made them very surprised.<br><br>Her body appeared and then she smiled, her finers would move and stretched and before they could move they were frozen in place. Corded and kept tight against the ground with feets of ice binding them to the road. After kicking each one out cold she sighed, it had been easier then she thought. Looking over to Phantasm, Isis grinned. "All done over here."

				Phantasm nodded slowly, then, with a shimmer of light, he disappeared.&nbsp; On the museum rooftop, out of her line of sight, Tris looked down at her, smiling under his mask.&nbsp; <em>Well, I've done what I can.&nbsp; One "favor" down.&nbsp; It's time to go do the rest of my work.</em>&nbsp; He turned his mind inward again, then the Phantasm was somewhere else, far away from the one person who might be able to catch him - the one defender this city had he couldn't stand up against or throw around anymore - slipping somewhere he wasn't supposed to be, taking something that wasn't his.<br><br>Later that night, Rae's cell phone rang.&nbsp; It was Tris, calling at the time she'd arranged for him to.&nbsp; "Hey, sexy," he greeted her.&nbsp; "How was your night?"

				When he slipped away Rae frowned to herself before she sighed and looked in time to see a fleet of police cars heading towards them. Done with the thugs she did a few more super heroine deeds before making sure she was home in time. Taking off her uniform she threw it into a box that was in her closet and locked it tight. In her bra and underwear she walked to her phone on the night stand and smiled as Tris' deep, sexy voice sounded in her ear. Flopping onto her bed she sighed, "My night was..." <em>Weird, Action Packed, A little Painful, Annoying, Fun, and Weird yet again. </em> "Uneventful," she said and smiled as she rolled over on her stomach and perked her legs up with her toes to the ceiling.<br><br>"How about you?"

				"About the same, but I got some information that ought to make things easier for me later on.&nbsp; I also have some absolutely <em>delicious</em> brownies and plenty of milk for us to share," he answered.&nbsp; "How does a little midnight snack sound, hmm?&nbsp; If you want it, come open your door."&nbsp; His voice was warm and amused as it caressed her ears.&nbsp; "Otherwise, I'll have to go find some <em>other</em> incredibly gorgeous brunette to share them with.&nbsp; I wonder if Isis might want a little reward for her efforts..."

				Smiling brilliantly she pressed the phone to her ear and walked to her closet, pulling on a pair of black jeans she hummed, “A midnight snack does sound absolutely <em>delicious</em>.” She grinned and then paused, “Oh, you’re at the door,” she asked in her jeans that were half open and only clad in her bra she walked hurriedly out of her room with excitement making her go faster. “Oh whatever, go and try to find someone as hot as me, I doubt you could.” Just before her hand reached out though he mentioned Isis and her brows furrowed. Hanging up the phone she stood there in front of the door, looking blankly at it. Why did he just mention her? Of all people, why Isis? With her heart pounding she opened the door and smiled nervously. “Tris,” she purred, pulling him in so her half covered voluptuous breasts.<br><br>“Hey,” she said and leaned up, giving him a chaste kiss before she pulled back and smiled, “So, what’s this I hear about Isis? You got a crush or something? Maybe I should challenge her.”<br>

				"No, no, nothing like that," Tris answered, grinning at her.&nbsp; "But do you know any other short, sexy brunettes who are likely to be up at this ungodly hour?"&nbsp; He shrugged, but inwardly, he was smiling like any naughty little boy with a secret, and the ability to twist her tail a bit and rile her up was <em>incredibly</em> amusing.&nbsp; Especially after the number of times he and Isis had found themselves throwing down, then getting a bit frisky with their hands.&nbsp; For his part, it was something about forbidden fruit.&nbsp; To her, as far as he knew, it must've been something about the fact that as annoying as he had to be for her - Phantasm was probably the only black mask in the city she hadn't managed to drag in, and their banter earlier had been fairly typical - he had lines he wouldn't cross, and they all involved violence.<br><br>The temptation to just tell her the truth, though... that wasn't nearly as funny.&nbsp; It wasn't Isis he was hiding from and lying to.&nbsp; It was Rae, his oldest friend, the girl he'd protected and loved for over a decade... the beautiful, funny, smart, tough woman he'd made love to the night before.

				Rae didn't know if she should be worried that it seemed like he had a secret he kept his best to not let explode or the fact that he was possibly fawning over Isis. And even though Isis was her, it still made her a bit jealous. "Well, I'm sure there are a lot of girls up at the this hour, Tristram, you just seemed to have an unhealthy fascination with one in particular that isn't...me." She huffed and shot him a look with her hazel eyes.<br><br>"So," she smiled, "Shall we move on?

				Sitting down she grabbed a warm brownie and took a bite to savor the taste until her brow slowly arched up at what he said. Licking her lips she put the brownie down and wiped her hands down her thighs. She looked calm but inside her mind was whirling and her heart was pounding as sweat coated her palms. "Tris?" She got up and walked towards him, "Tris what exactly are you trying to say?" Did he know? Oh god had she left her suit out? She would have to assure him it was okay that no one might come to hurt him to hurt her. She couldn't lose him.

				Tris was silent for a long moment, then he finally said it.&nbsp; "You're Isis.&nbsp; Don't bother denying it, Rae.&nbsp; I <em>know</em> you are," he rumbled softly.&nbsp; "I know you too well, and I've seen her up close plenty of times."&nbsp; Which made no sense, Tris had never even been near Isis that she knew of, let alone run into her closely on multiple occasions.&nbsp; "That's not important.&nbsp; I'm not bothered that you didn't tell me who you were.&nbsp; If anyone needs to keep secrets to protect themselves and others, it's a mask.&nbsp; Or maybe I should say <em>another</em> mask."&nbsp; One large hand landed on the window sill, and he gripped it slightly for support - just an emotional need, but a very real one considering what he was about to tell her.&nbsp; "I want you to do me a favor, Rae, and let me finish before you say anything.&nbsp; If you decide you want to throw me out, hell, even try and drag me in to the cops, at least let me say my piece before you do."&nbsp; It was impressive how large a sign a man that big could produce.&nbsp; "If our love means anything, please... let me finish."<br><br>Another long, silent moment passed.&nbsp; "I've been keeping my own secrets from you for about as long, and for the same reason - to protect you and to protect me.&nbsp; I just wish the secret itself was as nice as yours, that I was someone as good as Isis is.&nbsp; I don't know how you became Isis.&nbsp; I didn't even suspect who you were until last night, when we got just too close for me not to notice some of the things I did."&nbsp; The stress of this confession was getting to him and he seemed to shrink in on himself a bit, just from the emotional despondency that she could read on his face.&nbsp; "All I know is it must've been a better experience than the one I had.&nbsp; My... awakening... into my powers wasn't pleasant.&nbsp; The person who found me, even less so.&nbsp; He called himself 'Adder'.&nbsp; As far as I know, he never met Isis."&nbsp; A dark, bitter laugh came out of his mouth.&nbsp; "Trust me, that's a good thing.&nbsp; He was a real bastard, Rae.&nbsp; Worse than most of the creeps you deal with by a fair degree, and I say that as someone who's dealt with them at least as much as you have."<br><br>Tris looked at her, his face dead serious and very somber.&nbsp; "I've only ever been responsible for the death of one person - that's fewer than you, according to the things I've heard, although you don't have any blood on your hands from doing it yourself.&nbsp; I do."&nbsp; His right hand came up, and he flexed it into a fist, almost as if reliving punching something.&nbsp; "I suppose confessing this to you isn't the smartest thing I've ever done, but I swear to you that it was in defense of another's life, Rae.&nbsp; The son of a bitch killed three people in front of me as a goddamn <em>object lesson</em>, made me watch them die.&nbsp; I couldn't do a damned thing."&nbsp; Another one of those long, deep sighs issued from him, sounding like it started at about the bottom of his feet and worked its way up.&nbsp; "I still see their faces in my nightmares sometimes, hear their screams, watch them die.&nbsp; The way they died..."&nbsp; He shook his head, eyes closed.&nbsp; "I'm sure there are worse ways to die, but I never want to know about them.&nbsp; Adder could bite someone, inject this venom into their blood.&nbsp; I'm not sure exactly how it worked, but more or less, your internal organs basically burned in acid.&nbsp; The heart and brain were the last to go, and it took time, too damn much time.&nbsp; The screams they made..."&nbsp; All six feet and three inches of him shuddered in remembered horror.&nbsp; "It was a family of four, you see.&nbsp; He killed the two kids, then the wife.&nbsp; Then the bastard let me go from where he had me pinned, wanted me to put the poor guy out of his misery.&nbsp; I said no."&nbsp; Tris turned his head to look at her for a brief moment.&nbsp; "So he said he was going to go get <em>you</em>, put you through that, and make me watch, and if that didn't get me to kill him, he'd work his way out to everyone I loved.&nbsp; It was the wrong thing to say."&nbsp; A short, humorless bark of a laugh echoed in the apartment.&nbsp; "My powers didn't awaken all at once.&nbsp; My strength was still latent... until he threatened you.&nbsp; When he did that, the idea of seeing <em>you</em> die that way, the adrenaline surge kicked it in.&nbsp; That was the only thing that saved my life."&nbsp; He closed his eyes again, a couple of tears working their way down his cheeks.&nbsp; "You may've made me a killer that day, Rae, but you probably saved my life, too.&nbsp; Either from an incredibly painful death, or from being warped into another madman by that bastard."<br><br>Tris looked back out the window.&nbsp; "But you didn't save me from being trapped.&nbsp; I had to be a villain.&nbsp; First for someone Adder had told who I was, someone too tough for me to take on, and when I managed to escape his clutches, I was in too deep.&nbsp; Don't worry, he's gone.&nbsp; Took on several masks, did something crazy and got himself killed.&nbsp; I swiped his evidence on me myself, destroyed it.&nbsp; But I knew too much, was too tied into things, and I was too well known as one of his 'lieutenants'.&nbsp; If I walked out, there were too many ways for things to point back to me... back to you."&nbsp; He snorted in derision at the bitter irony of it all.&nbsp; "So I had to play the game to survive, but I played it my way, and I played it to <em>win</em>.&nbsp; And the only way you win is not playing at all.&nbsp; I've told you I'm looking at finding a new field to work in, Rae.&nbsp; I've been working my way free, clearing my markers and cutting my ties, covering my tracks to keep from getting caught.&nbsp; I never wanted something like this."&nbsp; Tris looked down at his hands.&nbsp; "So.&nbsp; I know one of your secrets.&nbsp; You know most of mine.&nbsp; Here's the big one."<br><br>He closed his eyes again, reaching out with his spatial sense in the apartment, seeking out something specific.&nbsp; It was harder with inanimate objects, or times when he wasn't moving himself, but it could be done with enough focus.&nbsp; A shimmer of light and her Isis costume was pulled out of its hiding place and laid out on the couch.&nbsp; "I'm the Phantasm."&nbsp; His eyes opened and he turned to face her, hope and fear warring on his face as he waited for her response.

				When the claim of her being Isis hit the table she rose up as if to defend herself but she knew it was no use, her mouth opened until he told her he knew. But how? How could Tris of all people know she was? Rae had never seen him in her costume. Maybe he had gotten pictures and looked to closely, if that was the case then she would brush off that claim instantly. No one really knew who you were in pictures where you were gliding at forty miles per hour on ice. Stepping back she sat down, what was he talking all about? Just what the heck was going on and how come she knew nothing about it? Biting her lower lip she nodded and waved him on, giving him permission to continue if he so pleased. Even though her mind was racing, she listened.<br><br>As he spoke it slowly began to unfold or maybe unravel, that seemed like a better word. Her hands rubbed together as she was bent over on the couch a bit with her elbows on her knees. Her hazel eyes critically ran over Tris as he spoke. Secrets? What had he been doing? Was he some sort of assassin? A cop? Was he going to turn her in for bringing around property damage? All the silly thoughts in her head ran rampant and when he mentioned the night before she felt a throb of pleasure between her thighs at just the memory.<br><br>This man affected her more then she would like to have known. He was poison to her life and yet he was the cure. When he mentioned powers her head snapped up as her brain began to run through all the faces of every super, bad or good, that she knew. The name Adder sounded oddly familiar. She had a talk with Flame last week about the guy, the woman said that Adder was a horrible man until he was killed by a super. But no one knew who it was.<br><br>Suddenly his confession became darker and intently Rae had her ears open, her mind blank, and her eyes wide. Tris...her beloved, warm, beautiful Tristram Sylvester Rooke had killed someone? She was speechless at what he said and would look down as he explained why. Suddenly she could understand, but because of her a man, evil or not, had been murdered. She felt no anger over it or remorse, just guilt for Tris that he had a man's life hanging over his head because of her as well as the life of a whole family and their cruel tragedy.<br><br>Tris went on and he said something interesting. A villain? Her brow arched slowly and as he spoke she realized something. He was so tall and broad, most men would be bulky and in the way. While he did take up room he was graceful and elusive. He was like a panther, sleek and deadly, and always on the move. And as she thought about it while he spoke she already knew the answer as to who he was. She felt stupid for never seeing it before. He smelled like Tris, was as tall as Tris, He was big and yet had the same movement and banter as Tris. It all came together.<br><br>And then came her costume and she knew all too well that she was right, "Phantasm," she said the same time as Tris. Looking up the heroine wanted a chance to beat him up. She wanted the chance to tear him down and turn him in. How dare this Phantasm make a fool out of her, Isis. She had been around her rival all along had made love to him and now he revealed himself? She wanted to scream and throw things, shame was beating at her temples and all she wanted was to never have to face it ever again.<br><br>But then Rae reined Isis in as she gazed at Tris. Tris was her best friend since they were little kids. They had seen eachother naked, had time for studying during highschool. Tris was such a huge part of her life. Tris was her Bear. He was gentle and loving, funny and handsome. Sweetness personified. Rae never found a part of him she didn't like. Even when he got angry there was something sexy in the way he tried not to blow up. When he trembled she would watch in fasincation at how his muscles would tighten and twitch.<br><br>Rae loved him down to the very depths of her core. But he was a villain. Even though he was trying to turn his life around, he had hit her, she had hit him. Their alter egos hated eachother. Or at the very least had a strong dislike of the other and vice versa. How would this ever work? And how knew if he was telling the truth about how he was trying to turn his life around. It could be some diversion. Closing her eyes she could not believe she just though Tris was capable of making a plan out just to hurt her. He wouldn't she knew that but it was...a lot.<br><br>Standing up slowly she let out a deep breath and shrugged her brows. Looking up she licked her lips, "So. Now that we know...what exactly do we do now? I mean," her voice was shaking as she spoke. "You may be cutting ties but that still doesn't make this better. Everything within me says to turn you in but then I just. I can't do that. I need time," she said walking to the door of her apartment she opened it and turned her head towards him but her eyes were on her couch. "Please...right now, just go so I don't do something I might regret."

				Tris stared at her for a long moment, opened his mouth to say something... and then he stopped, sighing, and found something else to say.&nbsp; "Good night, Rae.&nbsp; I won't bother you until you're ready to talk.&nbsp; Keep the brownies and the milk."&nbsp; He looked at her for another moment, then turned and walked to the door, pausing with his hand on the door knob to turn back and look at her.&nbsp; "And Rae?&nbsp; I love you."&nbsp; His blue eyes were sad and intense, full of regret and anxiety, but he didn't stop again, just opened the door and left.&nbsp; With it done, Tris felt like a weight had been lifted off his chest, only to slam back down when she told him to leave.&nbsp; Out the door, down the stairs, and into his car, then home... it was a blur.&nbsp; If someone had asked him, he would've answered that he really didn't remember driving home, but he must have.&nbsp; He was good at teleportation, had a lot of "payload" capability, but an entire car was a bit much.<br><br>Tris walked into his home... and Phantasm walked back out.&nbsp; Rae hadn't said she hated him.&nbsp; That was... good enough for now.&nbsp; But there was no way he could sleep after this, and he could feel the adrenaline flowing in his veins.&nbsp; If he couldn't sleep and he couldn't do something about Rae, he might as well work and get one of his more dangerous rivals put up the river for good.&nbsp; And God help any mask that got in his way doing it, because he was for damn sure not in the mood to screw around.

				Slowly Rae closed her door and slowly she walked to the couch and sat down, looking at the plate of brownies she felt sick. God, everything...everything was so weird. She felt so angry at herself, at Isis. If she could just...she didn't know. She didn't know what to do right now. Slowly she got up and took off her jeans. Clad in her underwear she got up the plate of brownies and the carton of milk and put them in the fridge. With that done she turned and leaned against the door. She didn't hate Tris, she could never hate her best friend, lover...or atleast she hoped they were lovers. Or boy friend and girl friend, whatever you wanted to call in she hoped somewhere they still had that title.<br><br>But then Isis surged up and tried to beat it into her brain that the man she loved, had given her body to for the first time, was Phantasm. An unfortunate criminal. His back story was enough to go on by that. <em>That is no excuse Rae. No one should ever count their past as a way to become bad.</em><br><br>Yeah but he never asked for his powers. He was found. Wrong place, wrong time. And he only did it to protect her and now he was cutting his ties slowly. He was trying. But still. So many people had been put in harm's way because of him and his jobs. Walking into her living room she looked at her suit, picking up the material. Her full lips went down and she growled, she needed something besides fighting. Rae went and pulled on green t-shirt dress that went to her knees. Putting on a pair of black heels she brushed her hair and walked out. It was past Midnight but she needed a drink.<br><br>A hard, cold drink. Sending a text message to Alex, one of her friends who was actually Flame, she said "Going to the bar. Pick me up at around three?" Instantly Alex replied saying it was fine and if something was wrong. "Nope, not a thing."<br><br>

				"Stop right there, Phantasm!" came the loud, feminine yell from behind him as he stood surveying his next target.<br><br>Phantasm turned around where he was standing.&nbsp; "Flame," he answered, and Tris growled under his mask.&nbsp; <em>It just figures one of Isis's damn friends would show up.</em>&nbsp; "Get lost, this is nothing you need to be concerned with."&nbsp; He gestured off in the distance somewhere.&nbsp; "Go harass someone who isn't busy."<br><br>Dressed in a red bodysuit with a flame motif, the redheaded super hovered over the roof on a pillar of flames.&nbsp; "I think I see a thief getting ready to pull a job," she hot back, hands on her hips.&nbsp; Tall and thin but still clearly a woman, she was Isis's opposite in just about every way except her temper.<br><br>"Fine, if you're not going to leave, then at least land before one of those idiots down there sees you," he snapped, turning his back on her.&nbsp; "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm trying to figure out how many goons this jackass has on patrol."<br><br><em>The hell?</em> Flame thought to herself, frowning at Phantasm.&nbsp; <em>Where's the banter, the playfulness?</em>&nbsp; 'Midway's Hottest Heroine' glided down to the roof and landed, staring at the large, bulky villain.&nbsp; "What are you up to?" she challenged, walking up behind him.<br><br>"None of your damn business."&nbsp; Silently, Tris swore.&nbsp; The last thing he needed was a mask hanging around, causing trouble, and getting in his way, not on a finesse job like this.&nbsp; This needed to be a stealth run, not a search-and-destroy, and Flame wasn't exactly known for subtlety.&nbsp; "Look, just go away.&nbsp; Hell, talk to Isis, she knows what I'm doing.&nbsp; This isn't anything that's going to hurt the city, Flame.&nbsp; Now buzz off.&nbsp; I'm trying to concentrate here."<br><br><em>Isis?&nbsp; Huh.&nbsp; Is that why she was going out for a drink, some sort of run-in with Phantasm?</em> Flame thought to herself, still baffled at the way what should've been a reasonably routine patrol had just flung itself into the weird end of the pool.&nbsp; <em>And why would she be letting him do this if she knew what was going on?</em>&nbsp; "I find out you're lying to me, I'll drag your ass in," the redhead shot at him before departing.&nbsp; <em>I need to talk to Rae.&nbsp; Something <strong>weird</strong> is going on here.</em><br><br>Once she was gone, Phantasm stared down at the warehouse, feeling it out as he searched for the needle in that haystack.&nbsp; It wasn't a thing he was after, but a person.&nbsp; A young woman, a junior in college with the misfortune to be the daughter of someone that one of the psychos around here had a grudge with.&nbsp; But this wasn't a kidnapping... it was a rescue mission.&nbsp; <em>Well.&nbsp; Guess the Pig wasn't lying that he had a juicy tidbit... and that beating it out of him was worth it,</em> Tris thought to himself as he found her, fixing the location in his mind.&nbsp; <em>The Doctor just screwed up, big time, and once I pull her out and then beat him black and blue, that's one of my big worries gone.&nbsp; Permanently.</em>&nbsp; In and out in under a minute, just the way he liked his jobs to go.&nbsp; The police had been trying to pin things on Doctor Demented for years, but no one ever could, because he was careful, and witnesses tended to lose their minds.&nbsp; And he hadn't had time to work her over yet, not the way he'd want to.&nbsp; Tris knew he had <em>something</em> on Phantasm.&nbsp; Some sort of device that could ID him based on something Adder had told him.&nbsp; He needed it destroyed, and he needed the Doctor out of circulation.<br><br>Focusing on it, Phantasm disappeared, shimmering into existence next to the girl's bed.&nbsp; Dark haired and dark eyed, as short as Rae but not as curvy, she looked at the stranger in terror, but he held a hand up to shush her and gestured for her to stand up.&nbsp; Shaking, eyes wide and fearful, she did, wondering why he was so still... and then, a few long moments later, they were somewhere else.&nbsp; Phantasm reached up, touching a pair of pressure switches inside his mask.&nbsp; "This is a police station in Midway.&nbsp; Do I need to take you to the ground, or can you take the ladder yourself?" he asked, voice undistorted to keep from spooking her but hushed.<br><br>"I... I..."&nbsp; She looked over the edge and skittered back, gulping.<br><br>"...you're scared of heights, great."&nbsp; Tris sighed.&nbsp; "Just hold on, I'll have you inside soon."&nbsp; Before she had a chance to respond, she was in his arms, and then the villain leaped off of the roof to the alley, cradling her, then putting her down.&nbsp; "Here.&nbsp; Go inside and tell them what happened to you.&nbsp; I need to get the guy who grabbed you, okay?"&nbsp; She nodded, and then he was gone.<br><br>"Huh.&nbsp; He seems like he'd be kinda cute under that costume..." she whispered to herself, then shook her head and went around the corner, doing what he'd told her.<br><br>---<br><br>Alexis Kelly walked into the bar her friend Rae had said she was going to, wondering what the hell Phantasm was up to, why Isis was letting him do it, and just where the hell the night had gone so terribly wrong.&nbsp; Dressed in a black denim jacket, green sweatpants to match her eyes, and sneakers, her red hair was curly and down to her shoulders.&nbsp; "Rae!&nbsp; We need to chat," she hissed, sliding into the booth opposite her friend.&nbsp; "You'll never guess who I just had the <em>weirdest</em> run-in with... and who dropped your name."

				On her fifth beer, Rae was pretty much determined to get hammered and sloshed. Maybe after a night of drinking and a heavy hangover she would find it in herself to search out for Tris and get this whole thing straightened out. When she saw a flash of red though she knew this was not going to go as well as she planned. She just wanted a ride home so she wouldn't kill herself in a head on collision. Not girl talk.<br><br>Rolling her eyes she sat back as Alex sat down across from her. "What, Alex, what is it?" She sighed, barely even hearing what she said.<br><br>"It's Phantasm," the woman said in an excited rush of breath, "He mentioned...well...Ice," her eyes glittered. "He said for me to come talk to you about what he's doing. What does that mean, Rae?"<br><br>Isis' hazel eyes flashed and the area around them grew instantly cold, luckily Flame just rose her temperature as the others around the room shivered. "Jeeze Bob, turn on the head, don't you know it's December," an angry drunk spoke out. Rae leaned forward, growling, "He did what?"<br>"Yeah, he's on some mission, doing something, he said you knew what was going on . So what is going on??"<br><br>Rae covered her hand over her eyes and hiccuped, "I know what he's doing," she said, "Because he's Tris."<br>A beat of silencewent until Alex gasped, "You're kidding me!"<br><br>"Nope, it's true," Rae laughed bitterly, "My oldest, truest, most lovely friend is Him of all things. And now he's clearing his name and I have no idea what to do."<br>"Well," Alex said, "That is...a definitely big change in what I planned to do him. I might even help him myself."<br><br>"What," Rae snapped.<br>"I'm serious Rae, Phantasm is a bad guy but he has only ever stolen things and I have a feeling that Tris never wanted this life in the first place. That big guy is only capable of loving you, not hurting you and others. Am I right?"<br><br>Shrugging she looked away, "Maybe. But why would you help him?" Rae knew why, Alex used to be a bad girl herself. In real life and in her super villain days. She wasn't a serious villain until she was almost caught and rescued by Isis.<br><br>"Because I know what it's like to be put underthe thumb of your darkest deeds and night mares and how good it feels to know that someone is there to help you over come everything." Alex stood up and looked behind her, "And Rae. You know that if your grandfather saw you this way he'd be highly disappointed even more so then he was at your father."<br><br>Pain made her flinch as Rae's breath grew heavy, "Don't. Please."<br><br>"I'm serious Rae, think about it."<br><br>When Alex left Rae growled and then stood up, slamming her bottle down, she swayed. That slut had left her alone, drunk. Walking out of the bar her eyes glanced around, she would have to just hail a taxi cab. Putting out a hand, careful not to fall into the street, she waited. Only what came for her was not what she wanted. With her inebriated state the unmarked van moved way too fast and the door opened much too fast until Rae screamed and punched just to feel something puncture into her temple, and her body instantly fell. The van rode off into the night with a prize possession in the back seat.

				That buzzing.&nbsp; What was that annoying buzzing?&nbsp; No... chirping.&nbsp; Alarm?&nbsp; A large hand descended on the alarm clock, clumsily, knocking it off the bedside table... but the chirping didn't stop.&nbsp; No, not alarm... phone?&nbsp; Phone!&nbsp; Not important.&nbsp; The giant under the covers tried to ignore it.&nbsp; Even if it was Rae, it could wait.<br><br>Then it starting ringing again.&nbsp; Tris groaned dully and grabbed his temples.&nbsp; His head <em>hurt</em>.&nbsp; Not like "stub your toe" hurt, not "paper cut" hurt, not "hit your funny bone" hurt.&nbsp; It <em>hurt</em>.&nbsp; The aftereffects of going ten rounds with Doctor Demented was like the hangover of a three day alcohol binge, but water, aspirin, ibuprofen, <em>nothing</em> made it hurt less.&nbsp; Getting shot hurt less.&nbsp; The way he felt - like he had a cluster migraine spawning babies - he would've been willing to believe getting bitten by Adder probably hurt less.&nbsp; It went away in a few hours, but it hurt like hell until it did.&nbsp; Thinking hurt.&nbsp; Breathing hurt.&nbsp; It just <em>hurt</em>.&nbsp; The sound of the phone ringing was tormenting him, and he slammed his fist down on it, making an unholy amount of pain in his head, but getting that damn ringing to stop.<br><br>He wasn't amused, to say the least, five minutes later, when Flame opened his bedroom door and flipped the lights on looking for him, then decided to <em>yell</em>, "Tris!&nbsp; I need your help!"&nbsp; He groaned in pain, curling up and covering his eyes with one arm, insensate.&nbsp; "What the... dammit, Tris!&nbsp; Are you fucking hung over?!" the redhead snapped, reaching down and grabbing his shoulder.<br><br>"...stop...yelling..." he moaned, arm wrapped over his face.&nbsp; "...hurts...stop it...turn off...lights..."<br><br>Flame bit off a stream of cuss words.&nbsp; It just figured that right when Rae needed him, he'd be completely useless from drinking himself silly.&nbsp; "Listen, you stupid fucker, Rae needs your help!" she screamed at him, trying to get through.<br><br>Something of that penetrated even as he flinched away from her voice as if it was a physical blow.&nbsp; "...rae...what...?" he murmured at her.&nbsp; "...can't...turn off...lights..."<br><br>The redhead started to backhand him, then something occurred to her.&nbsp; The amount of booze it would have taken for him to get this bad probably would have dessicated an elephant.&nbsp; There were no bottles anywhere in his apartment, and the smell of alcohol just wasn't there.&nbsp; Maybe this wasn't alcohol, or drugs.&nbsp; She sighed softly and turned off the lights, then knelt next to him.&nbsp; "Tris... it's Flame.&nbsp; Rae needs your help," she whispered.&nbsp; "She got kidnapped.&nbsp; I think I know where she is, but I can't get in without her probably getting killed."&nbsp; Her voice was feather soft and gentle, like talking to a wounded animal.&nbsp; "I know you can do it.&nbsp; I know you're Phantasm.&nbsp; You've got to help her, Tris."<br><br>"...rae's...isis...she can..." he groaned, a little more coherent now that she wasn't yelling at him and the lights were out.<br><br>"No, she can't.&nbsp; She's drugged.&nbsp; Tris, what's wrong with you?" Flame demanded, staring at him.<br><br>"...the doctor...grabbed...a girl...rescued 'er...wasn't...wiped...and I...beat him up...left him...with cops..." he finally managed in a low moan, in too much pain to quite process the fact that Flame was not only in his bedroom, but knew he was the Phantasm.<br><br><em>Shit!</em> Flame thought to herself, fighting the urge to groan for his sake, covering her face with her hand.&nbsp; <em>Great, he goes out, does a great thing, and not only is he suffering the world's worst headache, he's exactly useless for saving Rae.&nbsp; God, I hope she'll be okay until he manages to recover...</em>

				Darkness. Darkness and a slight sound of buzzing. It was silence that buzzed like an annoying house fly straight in her ear. But it was not a fly, no, it was just being alone. But where was she? Her body felt so heavy and it hurt so much to move her head. It was like everything was wound up by silver chains and she was a werewolf. Or worse. Rae inhaled slowly and winced as she felt her lungs shrivel inside of her and instantly she started to cough. Big mistake. The pain was excruciating. Not only that but she was cold...wait. <em>Cold? I'm cold? What the I've never been cold in my entire life. W-What? I don't get cold. I'm freezing. I can't...stop shaking.</em> The chattering of her teeth made Rae shrivel up as she realized she was on her side on the hard floor of a room with a small window at the top of the back wall.<br><br>Suddenly the door opened and Rae withdrew, sitting up now, sluggishly she moved her body back. With chapped lips she tried to sleep but she felt the pale pink skin of her full lips crack and her tongue moved clumsily in her mouth as a figure appeared, silhouetted by the darkness of the room and the yellow light in the hall way.<br><br>"So you're awake," the male's voice echoed and then he chuckled, "You look like you might be cold. There is a reason for that," he shrugged his left brow, "Silver Nitrogen, it's like the Kryptonite to Superman for you, am I right?" Rae didn't know. She had never touched Silver Nitrogen before.<br><br>"After all, that is how your grandfather died." The man spoke and then flipped a switch, instantly light filled the room and she saw him. A tall, beautiful man. With long, thick blond hair and pretty silver eyes. He was fit and wore a gray suit with a silver shirt and a pale blue tie. His dress shoes clicked against the ground as he walked towards her. His eyes scanned her from head to toe and his hands went down into his pockets as he cocked his head towards her. "You're quite beautiful you know. Who knew Isis bore such great looks, and amazing abilities to go along with it?"<br><br>"What do you," Rae began in a hoarse voice, "What...ahem...do you want from me?" She felt her breathing become shallow and her eyes watered painfully. In her mind she wondered how it was that this stranger came to know about her grandfather and his powers. This curse or blessing, whatever it was had been passed on for five generations. She was the first one to have it, and she did not know if this would pass to her children. She hoped it would but then she hoped it wouldn't. It took her entire life to keep it secret and years to master it.<br><br>"Stop. Fighting." He said simply and then smiled, "Your involvement in the criminal world is very unsettling and it angers me. I know what you do Rae." He said her voice bitterly so, "You are a writer. If you do not abandon Isis as your alias I will ruin your life. You have put hundreds of my friends, minions, acquaintances into jail or into the hands of the Angel Of Death. Quite frankly your existence bothers me. If I had the mind I would kill you myself. But no, I am kind and I am handsome, handsome men like me never kill gorgeous women as yourself. So. In exactly five hours I will have your answer, yes or no. Until then," he winked and crouched in front of her.<br><br>Reeling back she pressed herself against the wall, shaking, she realized something weird and looked down. Cursing herself she saw she was only in her bra and underwear. No wonder she was so cold. His right palm covered her left breast and she screamed at the contact. It burned. No it more then burned, it was like a rampant fire, zipping in her body. Shaking violently her body would shake and turn, her cries violently painful as this man tortured her with one touch. Finally he pulled away.<br><br>"Oh," he said softly as if he never realized. "I had forgotten. My powers and yours don't get along, I am lightning, you are ice, you are frozen water, slowly melting away. Our relationship could never work or be consummated...well it could, but you would be in mind numbing pain." Laughing gleefully he stood, "Well, I will be back, have a nice time."<br><br>When he left Rae whimpered, falling onto her stomach shivering and shaking from the cold and now the pain. <em>What am I going to do?</em>

				Slowly, the pain drained away, and Tristram came out of the haze maybe an hour later... and realized that he was in deep, deep trouble.&nbsp; "Flame," he groaned, the headache still there but not consuming him anymore.&nbsp; Something poked at the edge of his mind, something about Rae, Phantasm, it was like trying to pick up water between your fingertips.&nbsp; "What the hell... what was it you said about Rae?"<br><br>The heroine, who had been sitting on his bed watching him, sighed at the question.&nbsp; "She was grabbed.&nbsp; I managed to track her, partially.&nbsp; I think I know where they've got her, but I can't get in there.&nbsp; She needs your help, Tristram... Phantasm."<br><br>Tris looked at her for a long moment, then sighed himself.&nbsp; "I'm not going to ask how you know who I am."&nbsp; He didn't bother with modesty, not with Rae in danger.&nbsp; Instead, he tossed the covers aside, showing off his muscular body to the superheroine, and walked into his bathroom, fumbling around for a bottle, then taking two pills out and swallowing them without water.<br><br><em>Oooooh <strong>my</strong>,</em> the redhead thought to herself, licking her lips behind Tris's back.&nbsp; <em>Packing heat, and so damn gorgeous.&nbsp; And so sweet, too!</em>&nbsp; She shook it off and watched.&nbsp; "Uh... Tris, what the hell did you just take?" Flame asked, raising an eyebrow behind her mask.<br><br>"Caffeine pills.&nbsp; I haven't had any sleep in the last twenty hours, and trust me, you don't want a groggy teleporter moving you around," he replied, grabbing his discarded costume off the floor where it had been tossed by him in a pain-filled, disassociative fugue.&nbsp; Pulling it on, he gave Flame another impromtu show, ignoring the catcall she gave him in response, then looked at her from behind the blank mask.&nbsp; "Tell me where she is."<br><br><em>Weird hearing his voice instead of that distortion module,</em> Flame thought to herself, then she gathered her thoughts.&nbsp; "The old Coca-Cola bottling plant.&nbsp; I'm coming along."<br><br>"Out of the question,"' Phantasm answered, reaching up and switching on the distortion module that covered his voice.&nbsp; "A rescue like this is best done quietly and quickly.&nbsp; You're not subtle."&nbsp; The second part came out in Phantasm's normal inhuman, artificial tones.<br><br>Knowing the face under that blank mask now, Flame looked where the eyes should be, standing up.&nbsp; "You don't get it.&nbsp; It's Thunderflash.&nbsp; He's the one who's behind this, I recognized one of his lieutenants, Phantasm."&nbsp; She put a hand on his shoulder as her mind's eye drew in the expression of shocked skepticism.&nbsp; "Look, I know you used to work for him, right after someone punched Adder's ticket.&nbsp; You <em>know</em> how dangerous he is.&nbsp; You can't take him on alone, and he knows you.&nbsp; If he grabbed Rae, he's got to realize you're friends with her, that you'll come looking for her."<br><br>The name was like a bolt from the blue if the big villain's body language was anything to go by.&nbsp; "He's dead.&nbsp; I <em>saw</em> him get killed, Flame," he answered, looking at her seriously.&nbsp; "Hell, you were there too!&nbsp; You helped bring him down."<br><br>"I know."&nbsp; Her voice was soft.&nbsp; "I think he went after Isis to get back at me, actually."&nbsp; The redhead looked away from him, seeming guilty.&nbsp; "But I know one of his lieutenants was there.&nbsp; Scar on his face.&nbsp; And there was that equipment.&nbsp; Paragon was never sure he really killed Thunderflash because of the way things happened.&nbsp; He considered hunting you down and beating it out of you for a while, but finally concluded you didn't know or thought he was dead from the way you went freelance and never seemed to be doing anything related to Thunderflash's schemes."<br><br>"...<em>shit</em>," Phantasm said emphatically.&nbsp; "He's right.&nbsp; Paragon, I mean.&nbsp; That equipment might not've killed him.&nbsp; And if he really is back... I need your help.&nbsp; Fine, you can come."&nbsp; One huge hand landed on her shoulder, and after a few long seconds, they were gone with nothing but a shimmer of light to mark their passage.

				Counting the seconds, down to the minutes, and soon the hours, Rae realized that she many never make it out of her alive. Was this how it was going to end for her too? She had so many things she wanted to do, and oddly enough none of it involved fighting. Just her friends, family...Tristram. Her teeth chattered as her body convulsed as she tried to tighten her muscles so much that they started to cramp, but she needed heat. It felt like she had just been thrown naked and out of a shower of ice cold water into Antarctica. Needless to say it was <em>not</em> her cup of tea. When the door opened four hours and fifty two minutes later Rae's hazel eyes turned up slowly. Coming in was the stranger himself and as he leaned down when the light flickered on with no touching a switch, she realized she was in deep danger.<br><br>"So," he crooned as he reached out and trailed a <em>gloved</em> finger down her jaw, no pain, not yet. "My darling Rae, have you made a decision? It's either Isis or your life...what's it going to be."<br>With her eyes hardening she licked her cracked lips and gulped, "It's not five hours yet."<br>"Oh? Well my clock is a bit fast so," he smiled, "The answer comes now. Or I will make you suffer."<br><br>Closing her eyes she felt his hand wrap around the nape of her neck and then yank her up from laying down and slamming her back to sit up against the wall. "Nnngh," she shuddered and coughed, while he came closer. His long hair was shining it seemed and in his silver eyes it looked like clouds were moving.<br><br>"Answer me," he hissed, all of his ethereal beauty was gone and all Rae saw was a snake.<br><br>"I won't...stop...fighting," she panted, "I refuse to. I will not let innocent people die-"<br>"NO ONE IS INNOCENT!" His scream echoed as her legs spread apart as he sat on his knees between them. "You stupid bitch, everyone is evil, there is no use for people like you. You are just saving future criminals, future dead beat dads and abusive mothers, rapists, pot heads, you know nothing of this world."<br><br>When he punched her across the face Rae yelped, no punch had ever hurt that bad, it was the nitrogen she realized, it weakened her so much.<br><br>"So now," he cooled down instantly, "Now that I know your decision I suppose it is time I ruin your world, I won't kill you yet, no no. I want to torture you. Yes, I want to make TASTE the pain."<br><br><br>

				A shimmer of light erupted behind him, and then one large hand was on his shoulder, spinning him around.&nbsp; Phantasm could not be said to be a happy camper, and the way his fist cracked across Thunderflash's jaw hard enough to punch through an inch of steel made that abundantly clear.&nbsp; Instead of something snippy, the banter, even the shocked exclamation, Tris was enraged at the way Rae had been treated, and if Thunderflash was stronger, tougher, and able to electrocute him, Phantasm was in a costume that didn't conduct electricity and he was bigger, a hell of a lot angrier, and had the advantage of surprise.&nbsp; Behind him, Flame surged forward, darting toward Rae and using her powers to heat up the one person she thought would never need it, and as she cradled her friend, she stared at the fight that had just erupted.<br><br>Phantasm had no intention of letting up.&nbsp; Thunderflash was a much tougher foe, and if he gave the bastard one moment, it would probably be the last mistake he ever made.&nbsp; Instead, he took the adrenaline and rage, channeling it, using it.&nbsp; The next punch slammed into Thunderflash's solar plexus, knocking his breath away, but an iron grip on his shoulder kept him from going anywhere, even when Tris yanked the blond's head down into a knee, breaking his nose, only to jerk it up again for another dose, getting blood everywhere.&nbsp; Another hard blow nailed his guts, then Phantasm did something that made Flame wince, bringing his leg up brutally fast and kneeing Thunderflash between the legs, letting him go and fly into the ceiling, through the next floor, and up onto the roof... where his attacker was already standing, delivering a downward, two-handed blow across the back that sent his former boss back through the roof and all the way to crash down through the floor of the freezer.&nbsp; Phantasm shimmered back down next to the women.&nbsp; "Flame, get her the hell out of here!&nbsp; I'm faster than he is, just go!" he snapped.&nbsp; Flame nodded and blazed a path through the roof, little fires starting in her wake, then Thunderflash exploded back into the freezer.<br><br>"Well, well, well..." he groaned, looking at Phantasm and spitting some blood out of his mouth.&nbsp; "If it isn't little Tristram Rook, come to save his bitch.&nbsp; Well, I'll get her sooner or later, boy.&nbsp; For now, you'll get what I had in mind for her!"<br><br>Phantasm didn't bother trading banter, trying to throw a punch, or even just standing there.&nbsp; Instead, he dropped a smoke bomb and teleported.&nbsp; He had two edges here - he was faster and more able to get around, and unlike Thunderflash, he didn't need to see someone to know where they were.&nbsp; Emerging behind him, he cracked an elbow against the back of the bastard's head, then 'ported away again, several rooms away this time.&nbsp; Pausing, he took several deep breaths and considered his options.&nbsp; <em>No Flame.&nbsp; Probably not going to be able to stop him if that kind of abuse didn't.&nbsp; Got to lead him somewhere, get help bringing him down.</em><br><br>"<strong>Where are you boy?!</strong>" Thunderflash roared, his powers amplifying the noise.&nbsp; Off in is direction, Phantasm heard something crack as he flung power around without any bother for conserving it, then he teleported in behind him.<br><br>"Right here.&nbsp; Catch me if you can!"&nbsp; Instead of teleporting again, Phantasm leapt up, landing on the roof and waiting for Thunderflash to follow.&nbsp; As soon as he caught sight of the electric surge that carried his foe, he 'ported to another part of the roof, ripped up an air conditioning unit, and hurled it in Thunderflash's direction, knocking him down.&nbsp; <em>Okay, time to go!</em>

				Hope arrived. Rae had never been so happy to see Phantasm in her entire life and her heart lifted at the appearance of Flame. Her eyes closed when her best girl friend would warm up her body slowly. Like fire to an ice burg slowly she began to melt, sweat broke out over her body even though she was still cold. Her eyes looked out towards Phantasm and the man she never knew his name. Looking at Flame, Alex smoothed Rae's brown hair back and winced at the ugly bruise on her face and the blood running down her lip. There were other bruises as well and a considerable burn mark in the shape of a hand over her breast.<br><br>When Phantasm yelled for them to go, Rae whimpered in protest, not wanting to see Tris gone just yet, suit or no suit. But he was doing considerable damage to the blond man and she could bet that wherever it was her enemy had taken her it was about to go up in smoke. Being lifted into Flame's arms the woman took off with Rae in her arms. The skinny woman was much stronger then anyone gave her credit for.<br><br>Looking back Rae said in a coarse whisper, "But, Tris...what if-"<br>"I have a feeling that Tris will be quite fine, he's angry enough to take out the entire United States Army. I'm more worried about you though. Thunderflash found out your weaknesses and then messed you all up. You need to recover." Alex glanced into Rae's eyes and the curvy brunette shook her head.<br><br>"It's...okay."<br>"Liar, come on. I'm taking you home."<br><br>The softness of her own bed was so much appreciated. Rae saw everything in a blur as Alex laid her down. Swallowing hard, she inhaled and it sounded as if she had bronchitis from the rackety sounds her lungs made. "Tell Tris. I'm sorry, and I love him...please," Rae coughed before she moaning and closing her eyes. Falling asleep instantly, Alex turned and jumped the heat up. If Rae could sweat out her illness that maybe there would be no hospital visits. She hoped so.<br><br>

				Thunderflash was after him like a shot after he dug his way out from under the impact, but he wasn't moving as fluidly as usual.&nbsp; <em>Well, I've got him good and mad, and he's chasing me, alright,</em> Phantasm thought to himself sardonically.&nbsp; <em>Now to see if I can wear him down.&nbsp; If I hit him enough, maybe this won't get anyone killed.</em>&nbsp; If Phantasm was normally a fairly restrained fighter, usually pulling his blows and keeping collateral damage down to a minimum, this was no time to be nice, and he didn't even think about it, let alone fighting fair.<br><br>The enraged arch-villain fired off a bolt of electrical energy, causing a massive explosion when it impacted the roof, but Phantasm wasn't there when it hit.&nbsp; Instead, he 'ported down to an empty side street, landing next to the unoccupied car of some soon-to-be ex-owner.&nbsp; While he could have just picked it up, the odds of managing to land a direct hit on Thunderflash from that distance were pathetic.&nbsp; One hand brushed over the hood of the Ford Taurus, and after a few seconds of concentration that sent sweat down his back, the blue mid-size car disappeared in a shimmer, reappearing right over Thunderflash... where gravity promptly took over, dropping over a ton and a half of automobile onto his enemy, which drove him down to street level, through the asphalt, and into a sewer in a rain of broken Ford parts and asphalt.&nbsp; A few long seconds later, Thunderflash surged back up, covered in grease, slime from the sewers, and blood where the pieces of the car had cut him.&nbsp; What wasn't bloodied or smudged was bruised instead.&nbsp; His silver eyes swept over the street, and then he locked onto Phantasm, bent over and wheezing, recovering after the effort of teleporting more than he ever had before.&nbsp; "Time to die, boy!" the maniac shouted, roaring down on a wave of lightning fist-first.<br><br>Phantasm ducked aside desperately, but got clipped on the shoulder.&nbsp; Stunned and off-balance, he was sent skidding and stumbling over the pavement, then impacted into a wall.&nbsp; Thunderflash grabbed him by one ankle, then flung the teleporter ass-over-bandwagon into an old warehouse across the street, sending him through a wall and into a support column ten feet inside.&nbsp; Tris forced himself to his feet unsteadily.&nbsp; "Maybe, but I'll have gotten the satisfaction of beating you up worse than any other single man ever has," he shot back, shaking off the effects of the blows and getting a better grip on himself, feeling for the other's advance... and then he just sidestepped it, letting Thunderflash plow into the concrete pillar.&nbsp; "You can't even keep from getting beaten black and blue by one measly teleporter with a little extra strength!&nbsp; I thought you were supposed to be some kind of badass, but I guess not."&nbsp; The electric shock wave he jumped over, flipping across a support beam, then landing in another part of the empty, abandoned warehouse.&nbsp; "If you're such a big, bad man, why don't you come fight me like a man instead of hiding behind your powers like a scared little girl!" Phantasm taunted.<br><br>Thunderflash roared and leapt forward, trying for a running punch, but while he was undoubtedly stronger, Phantasm was smarter and more skilled, stepping aside at the last moment and clothes lining the other metahuman, sending him sprawling face first.&nbsp; On him in a moment, he smashed one huge fist down on Thunderflash's ribcage approximately where the lugs should be, then another, breaking ribs and puncturing a lung.&nbsp; While it slowed him down, the other super ripped back with an electric backhand, knocking Phantasm skidding away, then rose slowly, coughing up blood.&nbsp; "D-damn you, b-boy," Thunderflash spat.&nbsp; "I'll... k-kill you... and r-r-rape those f-fucking wh-whores."<br><br>Phantasm growled angrily, coming to his own feet.&nbsp; "Don't talk about either of them that way, especially Rae, you bastard!" he snarled, the distortion module broken.&nbsp; When Thunderflash launched a spray of lightning at him, he teleported straight up into the support structure for the roof, then launched himself down, slamming into the startled arch-villain shoulder first, driving him into the concrete and shattering his legs, dislocating his own shoulder in the process.&nbsp; He started to draw back for a kick that might well have taken the other man's head off, but stopped, pulling himself off the precipice of rage.&nbsp; <em>Rae wouldn't want this,</em> he thought to himself, settling for another kick to the ribs that made Thunderflash fly across the room, rolling to a stop, unconscious and badly injured, at the feet of the large, bald black man standing in the doorway.&nbsp; Phantasm stared at him, slumping.&nbsp; "Paragon."&nbsp; His voice was beaten.&nbsp; There was no way in hell Tris could take down Thunderflash then turn around and win a brawl with one of the best in the superhero business.<br><br>Dressed in black and silver, with a long black cape, the superhero nodded, looking Thunderflash over.&nbsp; "Looks like Flame knew what she was talking about," he commented, looking back up at Phantasm for a long moment.&nbsp; "You used to work for him.&nbsp; This some sort of coup?"<br><br>Phantasm shook his head.&nbsp; "Last one... who knew my name.&nbsp; I'm... done with this gig."&nbsp; He groaned in pain from the battering and the way it had brought his earlier headache back.&nbsp; "I just want... to go check on... a friend of mine.&nbsp; He grabbed her."<br><br>Paragon gave him a short, sharp bark of laughter.&nbsp; "Isis?&nbsp; She's a friend of yours?&nbsp; I kind of doubt that."<br><br>The slightly taller, broader man shrugged.&nbsp; "He didn't grab... Isis.&nbsp; Grabbed a reporter.&nbsp; Rae Perez."<br><br>The black man looked at him for another long moment, then laughed again.&nbsp; "Have it your way then, Phantasm.&nbsp; And have that reporter give you an invite to my Christmas party.&nbsp; You earned it today, son.&nbsp; Just don't steal the silverware."&nbsp; Still laughing, Paragon picked up the broken, battered form of one of his worst enemies and lifted into the air.&nbsp; "Oh, and don't worry about your identity.&nbsp; If all we've got is this prick's word... well, I wouldn't say it's going to be taken seriously.&nbsp; If you're out of the business - and you keep your nose clean - I'll make sure no one bugs you."&nbsp; With that, Paragon disappeared in a blur, heading for the nearest hospital equipped to treat and restrain someone of Thuderflash's power.<br><br>Phantasm stared after him, then he shook his head in bemusement.&nbsp; "Rae.&nbsp; Got to go see Rae."&nbsp; He felt for his teleportation powers, then shimmered away through space, emerging on top of her apartment building.&nbsp; One brief scan and another teleport later, he was standing in her bedroom, pulling off his mask with his good arm.&nbsp; "Rae?&nbsp; It's me, Tris.&nbsp; Are you... are you okay?" he asked, a spectacular bruise on his left cheek from one impact.

				Flame appeared in the door way, she sighed heavily and walked forward, seeing Tris' face she cringed but decided to address that earlier. "She's out of it Tris. Thunderflash found out about her weakness, Silver Nitrogen. And from the looks of it that room was covered in it." Rae laid still, her chest rose and fell but each breath sounded labored and tight. "I think she's ill. The nitrogen made it so she could feel every bit of temperature, she was freezing when I got to her. It will take some time. She has bruises here and there, looks like that bastard burned her."<br><br>Turning her eyes on Tris she sighed, "You're hurt. Did...did you take Thunderflash out?" Flame hoped so, she didn't promote killing but that blond psycho had over stepped several boundaries.<br><br>Long lashes lifted and slowly Rae's eyes would focus, everything sounded muffled but she felt a little better, she was definitely not as cold but more like just chilly. Turning her head she saw Tris and her eyes brightened, "Tris," she whispered softly, "Hi."<br><br>Alex looked them both over and then said, "I'll be in the living room." Once the door closed Rae licked her lips which were now a pale pink color, she coughed once and then moaned before saying. <br><br>"Tristram? I'm...I'm really sorry," she said, her eyes welled with tears as she realized she wouldn't die and the entire time she had been caught she had wanted so badly to see Him again. "I love you, I'm so...stupid," she closed her eyes as she felt her body ache and tremble.

				Tris nodded in response, looking at her.&nbsp; "If she's... basically okay, that's the important thing.&nbsp; Hell, my headache's back, and we won't talk about the way my back and shoulder feel."&nbsp; One arm was hanging limply.&nbsp; He chuckled darkly, his eyes going over Rae's skin.&nbsp; "I took him down.&nbsp; Almost killed him, but... she wouldn't like that, would she?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Paragon showed up and took him, said a few things."&nbsp; Flame nodded, and then Rae opened her eyes, looking at him.&nbsp; "Would you-"<br><br>Alex left the room, and Tris walked closer to her bed, reaching up and putting a finger on Rae's lips.&nbsp; "Shh.&nbsp; I love you too, Rae.&nbsp; You're not stupid.&nbsp; You reacted badly.&nbsp; I'm sure you would've been fine in a couple of days anyway, love.&nbsp; It's just a lot to hear at one go, isn't it?"&nbsp; He smiled.&nbsp; "We're a fine pair, aren't we?&nbsp; You battered and cold, and me beat up with a headache like I just had a hippo tap-dancing on my head.&nbsp; Looks like he hit you with his electricity, too.&nbsp; I know that's got to hurt."&nbsp; His fingers gently traced along her cheek before he turned to look her over a little more closely and jerked his shoulder the wrong way.&nbsp; "Oh god, ow..." he moaned, eyes closed.&nbsp; "As soon as we're done, hospital time for me... my shoulder's got to be dislocated.&nbsp; Need to get it looked at.&nbsp; I'll be fine in a few days.&nbsp; Always have healed fast.&nbsp; How are you holding up, Rae?"&nbsp; The big man, her lover and one of her most annoying rivals, gave her a warm, soft, reassuring smile.

				With a soft sigh she closed her eyes, his reassring helped but she still felt stupid. And sick. Looking up she frowned now that she saw him really. His face was bruised, his head all sweaty. Shaking her head slowly she then laughed but moaned right after and ran a shaky hand down her face. "We are quite the couple I'd say," she sat up slowly. When he touched her she winced at how tender her face was and then looked down to see Thunderflash's palm mark burned into her skin. <br><br>Frowning deeply she looked away, and then gasped as he jerked in&nbsp; pain. "You're hurt? Go! Go to the hospital baby," she leaned forward ignoring the way her body moved so sluggishly. She could fall over and lay there for hours. "You're so stubborn," she muttered as he said he would later. When&nbsp; he asked she shrugged and answered, "I'm just...shaken up. My body feels weird and my mind is all stirred up and confused. Just wish...I don't know. When I was there I felt. I felt so horrible. I really should have held onto you. I was afraid I would never see you again."<br><br>Shrugging she smiled, "I suppose I doubted you would come for me. But that was stupid wasn't it?" Laying back she coughed a few more times and then sneezed, "Ugh. So this is what being sick feels like...it sucks." She sighed and said, "You need to go get your shoulder looked at. Don 't worry about me. I'll be fine. I just need to nurse my pride."

				Tris smiled and leaned down, kissing her forehead.&nbsp; "Trust me, compared to the way I felt earlier, this is nothing," he replied softly.&nbsp; "I would have been there faster, when Flame first called me, but I was out late dealing with the Doctor."&nbsp; He winced slowly, remembering the horrific migraine from earlier.&nbsp; "The headache you get after throwing down with him is murder.&nbsp; I could barely move.&nbsp; Hell, I was barely breathing, because it hurt to <em>breathe</em>.&nbsp; I'm sorry, I would've chosen another night to go after him, but he'd grabbed a girl.&nbsp; I got her out, with a hell of a lot less trouble than I did you, I might add.&nbsp; Of course, with Doc D, it wasn't personal, either."&nbsp; Tris gave her an impish, naughty smile.&nbsp; "Thunderflash hurt my Rae.&nbsp; No one gets to do that."&nbsp; Leaning back a bit, he chuckled.&nbsp; "And if this is how superheroing feels, I don't think I'll be taking it up as a profession.&nbsp; Two kidnappings, two brutally painful fights, and it hasn't even been twelve hours."<br><br>Tris paused, then blushed a bit as something occurred to him.&nbsp; "Oh, and, uh, I think I probably flashed Flame a couple of times earlier.&nbsp; Little distracted by you being in danger, and I didn't really think about the fact that I was buck naked when I got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom, then got dressed.&nbsp; You're not mad at me, are you, Rae?"&nbsp; He blushed a little darker.&nbsp; "I swear, it was an accident, but between hearing you'd been grabbed and the after effects of that headache, I wasn't really thinking about things like that..."

				Arching a brow she stared at him silently for a few moments until her full lips twitched down a bit in annoyance. Possesive jealousy made her face flush with color but she sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "I guess I'm not mad, bu if you touch her in the future inappropriately I will make sure your man hood is no longer in tact." Smiling sweetly she added, "Besides, Thunderflash groped me and had me in my underwear I think you hadn't have gotten there when you did serious things would have went down. And even if he was a psycho, he was hot," she chimed and then winked, "Kidding. Well. Sort of. He had nice hair and eyes, until he got mean."<br><br>She inhaled deeply and clutched her chest at how tight it was, "But. It was good you saved a person, just wish you could have indeed chosen another night, it would seem you chose two different women over me in one night, maybe I should feel offended?" Rae's brow cocked up again before she leaned up and kissed him. "But flash her again and I might have to gouge her eyes out and put you in a permanent chastity belt, mmkay?"<br><br>Patting his bruised cheek she then flipped back her covers, coughing a bit more, "I need to do something...I have a report do tomorrow, I need to type it up. Or else Thunderflash's plan to first ruin my career will come to happen even with him gone."

				"It was an accident!" Tris protested.&nbsp; "I didn't mean to!&nbsp; Besides, Flame's the one who broke into my house and barged into my bedroom."&nbsp; He rubbed the back of his head.&nbsp; "I didn't think you'd be in trouble.&nbsp; Hell, I probably rescued her before you were grabbed, actually."&nbsp; Her lips were a balm to his battered mind and soul, although it didn't do much to his body.<br><br>Tris, or, rather, Phantasm paused and gave her a wicked little smile.&nbsp; "I think we can avoid <em>that</em>.&nbsp; What about an exclusive on the first-ever interview with the Phantasm?&nbsp; Might get your editor <em>really</em> pleased."

				Looking at Tris thoughtfully she smiled and then said, "Honestly," her voice was soft and tired, "I don't want anything to do with Phantasm or any other Super right now. I am content on writing on men and women being in torrid love affairs then I am right now on how hard Phantasm can pack a punch. But maybe my next article we can. I just need to pump something sleazy out right now and then I can turn in and call out sick for tomorrow." Getting to her feet she then gasped and fell right back to a sitting position on the edge of the bed, "Whoa. Head rush," gulping she frowned and then murmured, "This sucks."<br><br>For a moment she said nothing until finally she spoke, "Thunderflash found out about my weaknesses because of how my grandfather. I've never told you about <em>my</em> initiation in the world of freaks have I?" She smiled and then said, "For five generations this...curse or gene we have has been given to us. My father had it, my grandfather, my great grandfather, well you get the gist." Shrugging her left brown she said, "My grandfather, Ramone, was killed when he was seventy. Remember that whole week in middle school I stayed out? Well, I didn't know until my freshman year how he had died. An old enemy of Ramone's got to thinking about what could bring Ice Man down, yeah Ice Man, lame name I know but...even though my grandfather was so old he still had his powers and his reputation as an amazing superhero. But he had never gotten the one villain who slipped away, I don't know the villain's name but I do know his power was among blending with the earth and using spiritual energy, really weird stuff. I never knew how he was able to kill my father, I always pegged it as the element of surprise but what Thunderflash said...it must have been Silver Nitrogen, the stuff that guy pegged my cell with."<br><br>A beat of quiet passed until she spoke, "My father had the powers too. But. He left when I was little. He told me and my mother that having us was a burden to his life. At first we thought it was to protect us but over time I saw my father was selfish and he just wanted the glory and the attention of women everywhere. My grandfather was painfully disappointed in him. He died but, I never really cared...I suppose one thing about having ice powers is if you're not careful it can make you cold and unfeeling. It can give you an unreal view of this world."<br><br>Standing back up slowly she hobbled to her closet and pulled out a blue silk robe and tied it around herself to cover the bruises on her body and her indecency. "If you want to stay you can but if not that's fine too. Either way can you show Alex out? I don't feel like having her hound me so late at night."

				He chuckled and nodded at her.&nbsp; "Sure, I can understand that.&nbsp; I'm not going anywhere - if you want an article out of me, let me know, okay, lover?"&nbsp; When she stood up and then fell, Tris wrapped his good arm around her.&nbsp; "Easy, easy there, Rae.&nbsp; Don't hurt yourself."&nbsp; Tris laid his head against her shoulder, listening to her story.&nbsp; "I think I'm the first one in my family.&nbsp; I remember your grandfather, though.&nbsp; He was kind the couple of times I met him, and I remember him passing away.&nbsp; That's sad what happened to him, and then that bastard Thunderflash using him against you..."&nbsp; Tris shook his head.&nbsp; "I'm sorry I didn't hit him harder, not that I didn't try.&nbsp; As far as your dad goes... you're not a gloryhound.&nbsp; You do what you do because you think it's right, and I've never really held that against you, even as Phantasm, Rae.&nbsp; Sure, you were <em>annoying</em> sometimes, okay, a lot of the time, but I never had a problem with why you did things.&nbsp; Hell, I kind of admired it sometimes - hell of a lot better than my misery just trying to find a way out."&nbsp; He kissed her cheek when he finished, then paused when she went on.&nbsp; Tris looked at her for a moment after she said 'Alex' and not 'Flame'.&nbsp; "Wait... <em>Alex</em> is <em>Flame</em>?" he said finally.&nbsp; "How many of you heroes have I actually met without the masks, anyway?"

				Leaning into him she sighed as she closed her eyes a bit, he was so warm and firm he was everything and more. As he spoke about what she did she smiled a little and then said, "Well atleast I know I'm not like my father." She winced and then said, "Glory makes me nervous after all. I feel like if I get attention someone will try to look more into who Isis is and then I'm screwed once I'm found out, ya know?" A silly fear, maybe, but she did not want to give up her freedom for anyone.<br><br>"Why, thank you for the admiration," she smiled, "It makes me feel good." She nuzzled his cheek and then froze, "Oh...I wasn't...suppose to tell you," she sighed deeply. "Gods I'm such a blabber mouth but since she knows you I figure it's only fair. Yeah that's Alex." At his prying question she arched her brow before laughing and looking away. "Ah, I can't tell you that love, but I can tell you it's been more then you can count. Some of which I'm pretty involved with, others are just people I see now and again. Heroes have a secret code, we know when one is turning down the block or riding by in a taxi. They're all very friendly for the most part."<br><br>She kissed him suddenly, softly, sighing as she did just to savor his taste, her lips melted and rubbed against his as her tongue reached and slid along his own. "Mm," she pulled back and stood slower this time and sighed, "Okay good," she smiled and looked into his eyes. "I'll be working in here," she opened a door and showed the adjoining bathroom that led to another room. Walking with her arms tight around herself she shivered again before sitting at her laptop and letting it run. Alex knocked on the bedroom door where Tris was, "She okay?"

				"I think she will be.&nbsp; Turn up the heat in here, though - she's shivering," Tris replied, looking at her.&nbsp; "Then just keep an eye on her until you get back... without harassing her."&nbsp; He kissed Rae's cheek again.&nbsp; "I need to go get my shoulder looked at, love.&nbsp; As soon as the doctors are done giving me grief, I'll be back over here, okay?"&nbsp; Once she'd answered him, he stood up and started to teleport out.<br><br>"Oh, wait, wait!&nbsp; Tris!"&nbsp; Flame touched his arm.&nbsp; "I called a, uh, friend of ours.&nbsp; He patches me up.&nbsp; Just put your mask back on and wait outside, okay?"&nbsp; Tris gave her a long look, pointing at his arm.&nbsp; "Or, err... I can do it!"&nbsp; She dashed out, then returned and pulled his mask down over his face.<br><br>"Thank you.&nbsp; I'm going to sit down."&nbsp; He nodded politely to her and slipped past, then sat down on the couch with a gasp of pain, closing his eyes and trying to relax.<br><br>Flame looked over at her friend.&nbsp; "You know... he's really in love with you, Rae.&nbsp; He was in such a hurry to rescue you that he didn't even care I was standing there.&nbsp; He accidentally flashed me getting in his costume."&nbsp; She sat down on the bed, grinning.&nbsp; "Mmmm... pity you've got him all sewed up.&nbsp; If you two weren't together, well, let's just say he wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight!&nbsp; That was one hell of a view, honey!&nbsp; Those muscles, and mmmm-mm, I'd love to take a ride on his love rocket if you know what I'm talking about.&nbsp; I bet it fills you up <em>all the way</em>, doesn't it?"<br><br>Tris, blessedly ignorant of their topic, opened his eyes as an old man with a wild shock of white hair came in the door.&nbsp; He wore a white lab coat and was carrying a large bag over his shoulder.&nbsp; "Ah!&nbsp; So you must be my patient, Mr. Phantasm!&nbsp; Flame told me she had someone for me to look at.&nbsp; I am Doctor Weiss.&nbsp; So what seems to be the problem, mm?"<br><br>He nodded.&nbsp; "Uh, yes.&nbsp; I dislocated my shoulder.&nbsp; The rest of it will heal on its own in a few days, but I can barely feel my arm."<br><br>"Well, then.&nbsp; Roll over, Mr. Phantasm, and let me feel it."&nbsp; Tris did as he was instructed, then winced in pain as Weiss started to manipulate the muscles.&nbsp; "Hmmm, yes, most definitely dislocated.&nbsp; I'll have to push it back into place, but I need you to remove your costume."<br><br>"That might be a bit hard, doctor.&nbsp; I really can't move my arm very much right now."&nbsp; Tris frowned under the mask.&nbsp; "Well... stand back."&nbsp; He turned his focus inward, then his costume shimmered off.&nbsp; "Just don't take very long.&nbsp; If I flash Flame again tonight, I get the feeling Rae will castrate me."<br><br>Weiss chuckled.&nbsp; "Ahhh, the foibles of youth.&nbsp; Just relax, Mr. Phantasm, we'll soon have this handled.&nbsp; No blood vessel damage, or at least not too much, no nerves," he commented, feeling at the shoulder.<br><br>"I thought that took an X-ray to determine," Tris commented, leaning forward and trying not to groan in pain.<br><br>"For most.&nbsp; You're not the only gifted man in this apartment," Weiss answered absently.&nbsp; "Now hold still.&nbsp; This is going to hurt."&nbsp; Tris braced himself, and then Weiss grabbed his shoulder and arm, twisting them and popping the joint back into place.<br><br>"Yeeeouch!" Tris yelped, moving his arms... both of them.&nbsp; "I can feel my arm again, though..."<br><br>Weiss smiled.&nbsp; "Yes, yes.&nbsp; Now, then, we'll just put it in a sling and you can put some ice on it.&nbsp; Should be fine in a couple of days, knowing you kids."&nbsp; He dug out a sling from his bag, then he and Tris maneuvered the arm into it.&nbsp; "I'll be on my way, if you like."<br><br>"...I think so.&nbsp; Thank you, Doctor.&nbsp; I wasn't looking forward to explaining this in an emergency room."&nbsp; Tris held his hand out, and Weiss took it with a surprisingly strong grip for an old man.<br><br>"Oh, it's just what I do.&nbsp; Now take care of yourself, Mr. Phantasm!"&nbsp; Weiss smiled at him, then took his bag and left.<br><br><em>Better go talk to Rae.</em>&nbsp; Tris looked around, then pulled a blanket around himself, covering everything so Rae wouldn't hurt him, and then went back into the bedroom, surveying the aftermath of Flame's mistimed, poorly judged attempt at girl talk.&nbsp; "Uh... something wrong, ladies?"

				Looking up she watched the two talk as Phantasm was seen once more, she still felt weird knowing her boyfriend and best friend was in fact a super as well. An ex-"villain" to be frank. Running her fingers through her hair she smiled, "Hope it goes back alright Tris," she called after him fondly. Rubbing her hand over the touch pad of her laptop she glanced warily over to where Alex sat down and then blinked as the red head spoke.<br><br>Rae felt a twitch working in her jaw as Flame ran on about how she had seen Tris naked. "Yes Alex, I know, he told me." Why it was the girl had to point out that she had seen Rae's boyfriend completely naked as beyond her. Rae would have been embarrassed had she ever seen another woman's man naked she wouldn't have brought it up at all. But Alex would just elaborate on how very hot Tris was and basically how she would make a pass. Oh but then she said she would want to ride him. <em>Ride</em> on his <em>love</em> rocket. Rae's eyes flashed golden like a fiery honey and her cheeks went scarlet even more so then they were already from her fever.<br><br>"Alex," she growled, "Shut. The. Fuck. Up." The redhead blinked before laughing.<br>"What?! I was just noticing God's beautiful creation of a man. I mean," she leaned forward, "Have you guys even had sex yet?...Ohhh you have! I know you have, you don't have that virgin's shine in your eyes anymore, hahaha. Was he good? Oooo I bet he was. He's so big, it'd be like being swallowed all by a man-were you able to take all of him?"<br><br>Running a hand over her face Rae gave a wry and very cold grin, "Alex I suggest you stop talking about this right now. I am not in the mood."<br><br>"...So he wasn't good? Well maybe he just needs a taller woman- you know I could teach him-"<br><br>SMACK!!!!!<br><br>For a moment neither of the women moved until Alex blinked, "Yo Rae, what the heck? Did you just slap me."<br>Rae frowned, "I told you I am not in the mood. If you want to talk about my boyfriend like that then you can get out or I'll show you out myself!" Standing up Rae's body swayed but she firmly gained back control and huffed. "I will not tolerate you speaking about Tris like that."<br>Alex pouted, "Well jeeze woman you could have just told me to shut up there was no need at all to slap me!"<br><br>Rae glanced suddenly over to see Tris in nothing but a sheet, Alex looked over and a red brow perched in interest. "Hey Tris," Alex chirped. Trembling Rae would pant softly and then let out a frustrated scream.<br><br>"Why don't you two just run off some where and fuck each other senseless while I sit here and do my much needed work," pushing Alex out of her room she slammed the door after her and locked it. Falling back against the door Rae's pants were heavier and faster, the effects of the nitrogen even if it was gone was wearing on her still. She felt like she might pass out, groaning the panic attack she was having was definitely not what she wanted.<br><br>Alex glanced at Tris before looking to the door, "I think it's the Silver Nitrogen, her breathing is irregular and her temperature is fluctuating. Maybe I should call that doctor back-"<br>"NO," Rae screamed, lurching the door open while on her knees, sweating profusely now, only the sweat was cool and not salty, more like she was exuding water. "No...don't, no doctor," she gulped. Alex crouched and touched her, "Rae...you're soaked."<br><br>"I am? I mean, No. No I'm not."<br><br>"Attack me," Alex said suddenly and pulled Rae up.<br>"Huh?"<br>"You heard me, use your powers right now...if I'm right we may have a problem." Alex licked her lips and nodded as she put up flames in her hands. Rae stared blankly before growling, "Okay fine," she said, Alex tossed a ball of fire and Rae put up her right hand. A torrent of water poured from her hands and extinguished the fire.<br><br>Shocked, Rae pulled her hand back, "What's going on?"<br>Alex bit her lip, "We're going to need to call in Cyn. She'll know what to do. Or maybe James...for now you need a shower. Tristram, help her would you?" When Alex left Rae shed her robe slowly, her eyes were hazy and her hands would move to take off her bra slowly, and then her underwear. Naked she looked at Tris, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...blow up like that. It just...happened," stepping towards her lover she took off the sheet from his body and then groaned as she pressed herself into his big, nude form as her arms wrapped around his neck and in a soft, languid voice she whispered, "Let me make it up to you."<br>

				Tris just held her against him with his good arm.&nbsp; "Shh.&nbsp; C'mon, let's get you into a warm shower, Rae," he answered, pulling his curvy lover with him.&nbsp; "It'll help you warm up.&nbsp; And then you're going to drink some more water, get your fluids back.&nbsp; I love you, Rae," he added, kissing her on the forehead.&nbsp; Once they were in the bathroom, he let go of her and leaned into her shower, turning the water on, then ducked back out, letting it heat up.&nbsp; He didn't want a cold shower and he kind of doubted that it would do Rae's condition any good, either.&nbsp; "So just what was Alex teasing you about, anyway?"&nbsp; He looked down at her, genuinely curious.&nbsp; "It sounded like she was going on about you slapping her for some reason, but I can't figure out how you got from there to us screwing each other..."&nbsp; One hand pushed into the stream to test the water, then back.&nbsp; It was warm enough now, and he pulled her into the bath stall after him.&nbsp; Tris groaned in a combination of pain and relief as the water beat down on him.&nbsp; "How are you doing down there?"&nbsp; He smiled at her, stroking her dark hair gently.&nbsp; He loved that long, dark hair of hers.

				Groaning she walked with him into the bathroom, "I love you too," she said as he went and set up the water for her and himself. At his question she pouted and looked away, "Alex was talking about you and how sexy you were. She kept making this passes at you in her comments, so I slapped her," Rae stated simply, not at all sorry for her behavior. Rae sounded like a kid who was a bit too sleepy for her own good but far too stubborn to go and sleep to miss out on everything.<br><br>As the warm water poured down Rae sighed as it caressed her hair down to her body, running over the slopes of her curvy hips and along the swell of her large breasts before it dripped from each nipples slowly. The water was a huge balm to the ache in her body and she knew Tris felt the same. Looking up into his eyes she smiled. Her usually brown hair was now black with water and heavy it all ran down her back like a chocolate stream.<br><br>"I'm...doing," she said and smiled. "I'm just so tired and my body hurts but then I want to run around and do all these things. Ugh, I'm just not in my prime." Looking him over she had to admit, Alex was right about how beautiful Tris was. One look at him and lust stirred up strongly in her loins despite her pain. Slowly her small hands reached and her index fingers ran from each collar bone,&nbsp; down along his bulging biceps and firm forearms before going across and circling his belly button before exploring his stomach. "How is your arm feeling," she asked and then kissed along his chest.

				"Oh.&nbsp; Well, I guess I can't blame you for wanting to keep me for yourself," Tris answered, brushing his fingers over her cheek.&nbsp; "I know I've punched a few guys who've said things about <em>you</em> I didn't approve of.&nbsp; And then there's Thunderflash."&nbsp; He slid his hand down, caressing her side, and gave her an impish little grin.&nbsp; "I'm not sure, but I think Paragon was actually a bit impressed at the beating I gave him.&nbsp; Or pleased.&nbsp; Whatever.&nbsp; I'm just glad he didn't decide to run me in.&nbsp; Trust me, there's no way in hell I could've gotten away from him the way I felt right then."&nbsp; Tris gave her a soft kiss on her lips.<br><br>Once they were in the shower, he pulled her back against him.&nbsp; "I can sympathize, trust me.&nbsp; My arm's fine, aside from some tingling.&nbsp; What hurts is my shoulder, but the heat from the water is helping.&nbsp; Just relax, Rae.&nbsp; Once we're done, I'll go back to my place, drop my costume off, and get some clothes, and then you can help me get dressed."&nbsp; One large hand stroked her hair.&nbsp; "Just relax.&nbsp; Once you're feeling a little better, I promise, you'll get all of me you can stand and then some, Rae, but I don't think you're really up for anything that energetic... and honestly, I do have a headache and a lot of bruises all over."&nbsp; He tugged on her hair, turning her head up, and then kissed her lips warmly.&nbsp; "Mmm.&nbsp; I imagine our recovery is going to be... fun."

				"Ah, Paragon," Rae murmured and smiled, "So you met Mr. Chocolate Man? We had a thing going for about a week but then I saw his job and mine were far too complicated to cross paths," she sighed and then inched her body into his touches, smiling. Kissing him back she trembled a little and nibbled on his lower lip until her body was against his, her back to his chest. "Mmmm, sounds like a good plan." She sighed a bit and nodded as she relaxed just like he instructed. <br><br>"You're right, I'm not up for anything right now. I've never been this weak, it's really unsettling you know?" Rae gasped as her head went back and then she trembled when his mouth descended upon hers, making her spine arch and her hips roll back before she smiled into the kiss. "Mm, yes it will be," she whispered. "I'll make sure to put that aching body of yours into a better state, promise." With a wink she then sighed, "I'm too tired to really use any soap, or wash my hair." She stepped out of the shower, "Go on ahead if you want, I'm going to lay on my couch and call in sick in a couple of hours. It's nearly four in the morning."<br><br>Taking a towel she wrapped it up tight around her and walked into the livingroom with a blanket behind her. Wet and hot she plopped down onto the couch and shivered before wrapping herself up in the blanket cocoon.

				"He's... interesting.&nbsp; Told me to have you drag me to the Christmas party," Tris answered, sliding his hands up and down her body.&nbsp; "I can understand that.&nbsp; Being sick's no fun, is it?"&nbsp; He kissed her cheek again.&nbsp; "I'll be back in a few minutes with my clothes.&nbsp; Then I'll get you all dry and we'll lay down in your bed and cuddle, okay, love?&nbsp; Heck, if you want, I'll even take your article to your bosses for you."&nbsp; His arms helped her wrap the blanket up even tighter.<br><br>True to his word, Tris was gone and back in under five minutes, wearing a pair of sweat pants and a long shirt along with thick wool socks.&nbsp; "Hey.&nbsp; C'mere, Rae.&nbsp; I want you in bed under some extra blankets, honey."&nbsp; Picking her up in one arm and tossing her over his shoulder, he hefted her into her bedroom, then gently slid her down onto the bed and wrapped another blanket around her before retrieving a hair dryer and starting to get her long mane dried out.&nbsp; "Let me know when you start to feel better, okay?&nbsp; This stuff has to flush out of your system sooner or later."&nbsp; As he used the hair dryer on her, he smiled softly.&nbsp; "It's been a rough day for both of us, hasn't it?&nbsp; But I'm here for you, Rae.&nbsp; Just let me know what you want and I'll get it.&nbsp; I'm just sore.&nbsp; It's time for Isis to take a rest and let her big bear protect <em>her</em>," he teased.

				Rae smirked, "Alright I will, but I must warn you, those parties are wild," she laughed at the fond memories. When he returned she was watching some late night re-run of a favorite sitcom, her eyes were barely noticing everything until Tris came in and filled the room with his big, beautiful presence. Looking up she smiled, and then gasped as she came over his shoulder, "Ack," she squeaked and laughed, "You can't just haul me around Tris, it makes my tummy flip everywhere." When she was put down and wrapped even further she sighed as he took her hair and ran it under the hot heat.<br><br>Tris' words warmed her heart and she gazed at him for several moments until she tilted her head, "I love you," she said as if realizing it for the first time. "You know, with you around I always feel better. I could have a gun shot wound and I'd feel tons better once you walked into the room." Once her hair was only slightly wet she pushed back the covers a bit, her naked body was flushed but she did not feel as frazzled as before.<br><br><br>"Come snuggle with me," she said, opening up the sheets, "It's early in the morning and we're both a bit beaten, we could use the hours of pure, unadulterated sleep, don't you think?"<br>

				"You light up a room, Rae.&nbsp; You always pull me out of my gloom.&nbsp; I think the one thing that's kept me going sometimes was you," he answered, leaning over and kissing her forehead again.&nbsp; "Yeah.&nbsp; I think you're right, love.&nbsp; Let's just get turned around so I'm laying on my <em>right</em> shoulder and not the one that'll keep me up all night in pain, if you don't mind."&nbsp; Tris grinned at her, then got under the covers and pulled his curvy lover in after him, holding her close against him.&nbsp; "So, after you're feeling better and I get a little bit less bruised, what do you think about a day trip somewhere romantic, mm?" he asked.&nbsp; "There <em>are</em> benefits to dating a teleporter.&nbsp; Cuts travel time <em>way</em> down."&nbsp; While his left arm was trapped between them, against her breasts, his good arm was wrapped around her lower back.

				Smiling softly at him she sighed, "What good did I do in my life to actually ever deserve you," she aske and gazed into his eyes. Moving around she was soon against him with her back to his chest, her full breasts were pressing into his firm arm as her hip would arch up seductively along the sheets and press back into his own hips until she yawned and sighed. "Oh," she looked back and smiled. "You're pretty right about that actually, hmmm," she bit her lower lip and then faced him, her arm went around his waist, her fingers playing at his lower back, softly rubbing and scratching his skin lovingly, her nails making small designs.<br><br>"Where could we go," she asked and smiled, "I mean where's a place that you would like to go, that's feasible." She arched a brow, "How far can you travel is what I'm trying to ask I guess." She kissed him softly before pulling back and snuggling into his thick warmth. "I would love to go anywhere with you Tris, though I am leaning towards some where nice and warm, or somewhere with a lot of culture. And shopping, gotta have good places to shop!"

				"It depends on how well I can get a fix on things, actually," Tris replied.&nbsp; "I've teleported about a thousand miles at most, but I wasn't really pushing things.&nbsp; Range is much, much less of an issue than mass.&nbsp; Moving myself and maybe a hundred pounds?&nbsp; Easy.&nbsp; Moving a ton and a half of automobile?&nbsp; That's going to exhaust me."&nbsp; He shrugged.&nbsp; "I dropped a car on Thunderflash earlier.&nbsp; Not really nice, and the poor owner's probably going to have a hell of a time explaining it to his insurance company, but it <em>worked</em>."&nbsp; The villain had the good grace to look a bit abashed.&nbsp; "I was more worried about dropping that bastard as quickly as possible than I was property damage.&nbsp; I didn't want to get anyone killed because I'd had to kick over an anthill to rescue you."&nbsp; He kissed Rae's forehead again.<br><br>"As far as where we go, that's up to you.&nbsp; I gave a good chunk of what I, uh, 'earned' to charity.&nbsp; Hell, a fair bit of it I quietly gave back to the people I stole from.&nbsp; But I've built up a nice enough nest egg.&nbsp; It's actually legitimate, in fact.&nbsp; My parents were moderately wealthy, and without me drawing off of it for living expenses, their estate pays me quite nicely.&nbsp; I never did steal for money.&nbsp; It was about keeping myself and you safe."&nbsp; Tris smiled at her.&nbsp; "That's over now.&nbsp; I'm a free man.&nbsp; I don't know that I want to be a hero, although I guess <em>most</em> of the time your job isn't as strenuous as my night was.&nbsp; For now, I'm happy enough loving my girlfriend and helping her when she needs it."

				"Whoa, a whole car," Rae murmured in rapt fascination as she gazed up lovingly at him. Smiling a bit she said, "Well I weigh over a hundred pounds so I hope I won't put too much of a strain on your travel," she winked and just below his lip, "Hmmm?...Oh Tris, a whole car?" She laughed, "Normally I would not condone such behavior, but-it was for my sake and that idiot deserved every moment of pain bestowed upon him." She said it quite honestly with a gleam in her eyes. As she laid there she was feeling quite better, not as cold before and not as hot either. Her temperature was slowly dropping but she ignored that fact as Tris mentioned his money.<br><br>Pulling her head back she took a good look at the man she called her boyfriend, smiling a bit she said, "Wow Tris. You really never were a villain," Rae's voice was a soft, admiring whisper before she said, "Well. I should hope that I won't keep needing as much help as earlier. I hate feeling that helpless and I like to be the one serving up the blows, not receiving them. Being a hero is fun, but hard work. You've got to learn how to be dedicated but also where to draw the line between being a super hero and an ordinary human or else you will have no life."<br><br>Sighing she closed her eyes, "It's not easy but when you know you helped to save a life...it becomes second nature and you learn to appreciate the world. So," she smiled, "Let's go to Chicago, or Europe, or Asia...maybe Japan or Italy, somewhere foreign, some where I've never been...together of course."

				"Oh, he earned it for a lot more than just you," Tris replied a bit darkly.&nbsp; "He wasn't as bad as Adder, but that's not saying a whole hell of a lot, trust me.&nbsp; I admit that him hurting you made it more personal, but believe me he <em>deserved</em> that and more."&nbsp; Listening to her, he chuckled and held her against him.&nbsp; "Hmm.&nbsp; Chicago wouldn't be warm this time of year.&nbsp; Really, none of them would."&nbsp; Tris frowned, holding her.&nbsp; "Rae?&nbsp; You're feeling kind of... cooler.&nbsp; You should be warming up."&nbsp; He hugged her a little tighter.&nbsp; "Are you sure there's not somewhere we can go that someone could help you, love?&nbsp; I'm worried.&nbsp; You're a cooler than you should be."

				Looking up she blinked a few times and then furrowed her brows before softly murmuring, "I suppose I should be." Her body was in fact a bit colder on the outside but she just tilted her head before saying, "I feel fine." Rae fluttered her long lashes before asking, "Before I was exposed to the silver nitrogen, do...do you remember exactly how I felt? I mean, was I warm? Or cool? Maybe the nitrogen had some reverse effects. Because honestly I feel really good," she smiled, "Well not toally better but a lot better then before."<br><br><br>She sighed, "But you can keep holding me like this," she smiled and winked, "I surely have no qualms about that, you feel much better then me. Well, we don't have to go somewhere warm, it is nearly Christmas after all, I need to buy you things."

				"Well, you were a bit chill to the touch, but warm on extended contact, a lot like this," Tris answered, looking at her.&nbsp; "I don't have any qualms about holding you, I'm just... worried.&nbsp; We don't know what sort of side effects this could have on you, Rae."&nbsp; His voice was serious and intent, and he didn't smile in response to her teasing.&nbsp; "I don't mind holding you, I just worry about your health.&nbsp; But, as far as going somewhere..."&nbsp; He shrugged, not caring overmuch.&nbsp; "How about New York?&nbsp; I have a few places memorized there that are good to teleport to, and you can do your shopping."&nbsp; Warm lips brushed over her cheek.&nbsp; "Just take it easy until we're sure you're okay, love.&nbsp; I don't want to lose you to the bastard even after I've rescued you."

Leaning into the kiss on her cheek she yawned a little and then turned her head to catch a quick kiss before snuggling deeper into the bed and under the covers. "Don't worry Tris, you're not going to lose me. I'm a lot stronger then I look, I mean after all, I've landed you in several pins and choke holds before, Phanty," she teased.<br><br>"In time I'll come out on top of this thing, whatever it is that's going on."

And within moments, Rae was out.<br><br>That night she dreamed very little, but what she did dream about she was not finding it all too wonderful. Chasing Tris through the concrete streets her panting was heavy and loud as the entire world was hazy with silver. Lightning struck and Tris fell, unconscious.&nbsp; With a scream, Rae's eyes flew open at eleven in the morning, sitting up, panting heavily. Her body was shaking and cold, really cold.

				Tris came back in, looking at her, holding a bag of breakfast biscuits from a fast food place down the block.&nbsp; "Rae?&nbsp; Rae!" he shouted, dropping the food and running up to her, hugging her against his chest.&nbsp; "Rae, are you okay?" he said intently, looking at her.&nbsp; "This is it, I'm taking you to a hospital or something unless you tell me who to call about this, <em>right now</em>."&nbsp; His voice held a tone of "do what you're told, don't argue, and I'll do it to you for your own good" that she recognized from previous times where he'd gotten stubborn about her health - rare, fortunately, but Tristram Rook was not one to mess around when it came to her.&nbsp; "I'm worried this is more than you think it is, Rae, and you're freezing all over again..."

				With her eyes focusing her body had been struggling against Tris' vice grip hold, panting and looking up, her brows rose slowly as she saw it was Tris that he wasn't dead on the ground, her lips opened slowly and she closed her eyes as he held her close. Her arms wrapped around his mid section, trembling all over. "I'm okay," she said, stubborn against the idea of a hospital, she gulped and shook her head. "I'm sorry, I just. I had a nightmare, that's all, it really freaked me out." Looking up she bit her lip, "I'm freezing?" Pulling back she ran her hands along her arms, "I don't feel cold though. I feel fine, honestly."<br><br>But maybe he was right, maybe they should see a doctor. She had never been called freezing before. Her temperature had always been 93.5, but her body was just cool, and she never felt anything but fine and no one had ever complained about her being cold. So, so maybe he was right.<br><br>Closing her eyes she inhaled and paused, "You brought food...I'm sorry you dropped them, but can we eat? I'm starving."

				"I'll get the food, Rae, but <em>you</em> are going to see someone about this.&nbsp; I'm worried."&nbsp; Tris was dead serious, and his face was stony.&nbsp; "I'm worried, and you feel like your body temperature is dropping.&nbsp; I don't want you to get hurt because you're being stubborn.&nbsp; Please, Rae."&nbsp; He slid his arms around her, pulling her against his broad chest.&nbsp; "Please.&nbsp; Rae, just... tell me someone I can call.&nbsp; Or somewhere I can take you.&nbsp; I want you to get checked out."&nbsp; His lips kissed the crown of her skull.&nbsp; "I want to make sure you're okay."

				Looking at the bag of food she sighed, she knew Tris was worried, she was worried herself. But she was just so against doctors, but she figured if she loved Tris enough she would do it. Inhaling slowly, Rae shook a bit and nodded, leaning into his body and his&nbsp; kiss, she whispered, "Alright. Cyn, Cynthia Michaels. She's a doctor who treats me and Flame, and a few others as well from time to time. Her number is here," she handed him her cell phone, "Under Cyn. She lives in the suburbs, huge house that has a whole lot of supplies. So there," she looked up, "That good?"<br><br>Drawing herself away she went and got the bag and took out a biscuit, eagerly biting into it as she went into her closet to get clothes for the day before detouring to her dresser for underwear and a sports bra.

				"It works," Tris replied, flipping to the number and dialing.&nbsp; His voice got steadily more aggravated as he talked.&nbsp; "Yes?&nbsp; Doctor Cynthia Michaels?&nbsp; I'm a friend of Rae Perez.&nbsp; She needs an examination.&nbsp; Yes, it's serious and urgent.&nbsp; You're <em>where</em>?&nbsp; Fine, fine.&nbsp; Look, where are you in New York?&nbsp; Okay.&nbsp; I'll meet you at the statue of Columbus in Central Park in fifteen minutes.&nbsp; Yes, I'm serious.&nbsp; No, I'll call you in fifteen minutes, just be there."&nbsp; He snapped the phone closed and looked at Rae with a sigh.<br><br>"I'll be back in a while.&nbsp; I'm going to pick up your doctor."&nbsp; Tris sighed again, shaking his head.&nbsp; "Can I borrow this?&nbsp; It'll come in handy.&nbsp; Oh, and, uh... don't stand in front of your couch."&nbsp; The teleporter sighed.&nbsp; "I need to go home and change into my spare costume.&nbsp; It figures your doctor would take <em>this</em> week off to go see her sister in New York."&nbsp; Shaking his head, the ex-villain disappeared in a shimmer of light, only to reappear several minutes later in a spare costume.&nbsp; "If this gets me into a brawl with Paragon or something for stealing a cell phone or kidnapping a physician, I swear I'll tie you down and keep you horny for <em>hours</em> after I escape, Rae."

				Dressing into her underwear and a pair of shorts and a white tanktop, Rae listened as Tris spoke sharply across the phone to Cyn, smiling just a little as she heard her doctor's sharp voice across the air waves. Cyn was an old friend of Rae's and even though the tall, dark skinned woman with long black hair was sometimes cold, calm, and intimidating, Rae knew what she was like beneath that 'I don't care' exterior. If she didn't care she wouldn't be a doctor, simple as that.<br><br>"Yeah go ahead and borrow it," she smiled, sitting down in her kitchen as she ate and waited. When Tris returned once again she laughed and sighed, "You promise," she purred and winked, "I'll keep you to it if you do, and I'll bail you out if you don't return within the hour, got it?"<br><br>She walked up and over to where he was, leaning up she kissed over the place where his mouth might be in his purple shaded mask, and lightly she tapped his bottom, "I'll be waiting," she said and hopped onto her love seat.

				"Oh, I may do it anyway after the worries about your little silver nitrate problem.&nbsp; And remind me never to get you real silverware," Tris shot back from under Phantasm's mask, then he reached up and activated the distortion module for his voice.&nbsp; "Isis... you're going to be <em>punished</em> for thwarting me too many times."<br><br>Another moment and he was gone again, now standing on a rooftop in New York... moments before a hero landed.&nbsp; Phantasm fell backward and flipped back up to his feet, finding himself face to face with one of Gotham's resident crime fighters, the masked vigilante Nightmask.&nbsp; "I don't suppose that, as a fellow masked man, you'll give me the courtesy of <em>not</em> jumping to the understandable conclusion that I'm here to do something criminal," he asked, eying the other dubiously.<br><br>"I don't suppose so," Nightmask answered, throwing a punch.<br><br>Phantasm ducked away, then parried the next.&nbsp; "No, seriously, look, I'm only here to pick someone up," the ex-villain tried to explain, then he answered the vigilante's next blow with a quick jab to the gut.&nbsp; Against a fighter of Nightmask's caliber, a blow like that wasn't going to put him out of the fight, but Phantasm wasn't interested in that.<br><br>"You're not going to spread your brand of crime to my city!" Nightmask shot back, standing up.<br><br>"I'm not trying to!&nbsp; I'm out of that business," Phantasm answered, raising his hands in front of him.&nbsp; "My girlfriend needs to see a specialist for her condition.&nbsp; I'm just here to provide a lift.&nbsp; Here, ask her yourself!"&nbsp; He stepped back, then removed the cell phone from a pouch on his belt, punched in Rae's apartment number, and tossed it to the other masked man.&nbsp; "Tell her it's her boyfriend."<br><br>Nightmask caught the phone and gave him a bemused look, then brought it up to his face.&nbsp; "Ms. Perez - wait, Rae?&nbsp; Yes, that's me.&nbsp; I have one of your 'friends' here, says he's your boyfriend.&nbsp; What?&nbsp; He <em>is</em> your boyfriend?"&nbsp; The vigilante gave the phone an odd look, then went on.&nbsp; "Yeah, changed jobs.&nbsp; And he's here to get you a specialist.&nbsp; Uh-huh.&nbsp; If you say so."&nbsp; He thumbed the 'end conversation' button and tossed the phone back.&nbsp; "I don't know how you got to her, but she verifies it.&nbsp; But I'm coming along to keep an <em>eye</em> on you."<br><br>Phantasm put the phone back in the belt pouch.&nbsp; "Really?&nbsp; And you're going to keep me from just ditching you <em>how</em>, exactly?" he replied.&nbsp; Before Nightmask could put together an answer, he disappeared, then made several quick teleports in a row to keep the vigilante from finding him again.&nbsp; <em>Man, that guy needs to relax,</em> Tris thought to himself, looking down at Central Park and fixing a target point in his mind.&nbsp; A moment later, he stood on the limb of a large old tree, watching the statue of Columbus on the Mall, and the ex-villain pulled the phone out again, watching it count down.&nbsp; At fifteen minutes after the call, he reached up and deactivated the distortion module and dialed the doctor's number again.&nbsp; "Hello, doctor.&nbsp; Turn to the north and wave a couple of times, please," Tris said.&nbsp; "Okay, I see you.&nbsp; Now walk that way.&nbsp; Trust me, you'll know me when you see me."&nbsp; When she was close enough, he killed the call and dropped to the ground next to her like a hunting cat.<br><br>Cynthia jumped at the noise of something big and turned, staring.&nbsp; "Phantasm?!&nbsp; How did you..." she started.<br><br>Phantasm grabbed her jaw, covering her mouth in the process.&nbsp; "Look, Doctor Michaels, you'll be fine.&nbsp; You weren't brought here under false pretenses.&nbsp; You <em>have a patient</em>, Doctor.&nbsp; I'm just playing courier on this one, okay?"<br><br>Slowly, the doctor relaxed, then nodded at him.&nbsp; She was silent when he removed his hand, although her glare could curdle milk.&nbsp; "Fine.&nbsp; Do whatever it is you do."<br><br>Tris smiled under the mask.&nbsp; "Just hold still."&nbsp; The big man concentrated, then the world blurred in a whirl of colors before depositing them both in Rae's apartment.

				"Cyn," Rae's voice chimed the moment her six foot tall friend would come dropping into her apartment with her even taller best friend behind her. Cyn snatched herself away from Tris' hold and gave him a glare before huffing, "Rae. You have seriously got to start picking better company-ack!" Cyn nearly fell when Rae had ran to her, throwing her arms around her doctor, Rae smiled. "I missed you too, Cynnie Wynnie!"<br><br>"What did I tell you about calling me that god awful name-" But then she stopped as her elegant fingers brushed Rae's arms and felt the chilling sensations of the Super Hero's skin. "Rae," her voice dropped a few octaves and she pulled the girl away. Looking Rae over slowly she said, "You're freezing Rae, what happened? Leave nothing out, now."<br><br>Looking to Phantasm Rae licked her lips, somewhat annoyed at her boyfriend, she sighed, this was exactly why she hated going to see a doctor. Last time she went was for five gun shot wounds that Flame made her go and treat, but honestly, she would have healed up in the same amount of time it took to retrieve Cyn.<br><br>"Thunderflash kidnapped me, I was put into a room full of silver nitrogen that apparently I'm allergic to, like Superman is to Kryptonite. I was naked for five hours, freezing my butt off, Thunderflash shocked me, Phantasm and Alex came to save the day, I was really cold last night, and then I had a fever, and now I'm cold again but I feel fine. Honestly."<br><br>Cyn frowned and glanced to Phantasm, "How come you didn't bring her to me sooner?" Rolling her eyes she already knew that Rae's stubborn self probably did not make this easy, "Nevermind don't answer that. Rae," she huffed, "Your body...ever since it was exposed to that nitrogen the molecular formation has been altered. Meaning that everything is all screwed up now."<br><br>"Last night," Rae said, "I ejected water instead of ice."<br><br>"Yeah, that's expected...I would say that since you were exposed your super genes are fighting twice as hard to make sure everything is going back to normal. But by doing that they're just making your unique form even...colder. So while you don't notice anything, until you fight probably, your body on the outside is changing a bit. It might wear off but it might not." Cyn glanced at Phantasm. "I really can not do much. This is nature doing what it can to make sure one of its finest heros survives. In the meantime keep a close eye on Rae. She might not be ever the same as before but if she says she's feeling better then I would believe her...here," Cyn pulled out a thermometer from her jacket and stuck it in Rae's mouth.<br><br>A few moments passed before it beeped, letting out a low whistle Cyn whispered, "Seventy-eight point five. As I expected," she wiped off the silver end of the stick and said. "Make sure you eat and keep healthy. Work out, sleep early, and wake up before noon. As for your heroic duties...honestly, I'd say take it easy. You might hurt someone on accident since your body is all out of whack."<br><br>Rae nodded and sighed, sitting down, "So now I'm even more of a freak?"<br><br>"Yes...if I were you, when I go out and talk to people, wear gloves if you have to shake someone's hand, alright?" Cyn leaned down and kissed the top of Rae's head, "It'll be alright just give your body some time. You went under a lot of stress last night, it's only normal. And make sure that hyper sensitive boyfriend of yours learns to not worry so much."<br><br>Glancing at Phantasm, Rae smiled and laughed, "Sure. I'll try."<br><br>"So," looking to the purple ex-villain, "May I go now," Cyn asked.

				Phantasm crossed his arms.&nbsp; "Well, if I'm going to be 'hypersensitive' instead of just making sure she's checked by a doctor - something <em>her physician</em> seems to agree is a bit of an issue - I'm tempted to make you walk back, but I guess I'll be nice just this once," he answered sarcastically.&nbsp; "Come over here and stand still, and I'll get you back to your vacation."&nbsp; He was gone for just a couple of minutes this time, then reappeared holding his clothes.<br><br>"Fine.&nbsp; Maybe I overreacted.&nbsp; But I wanted to hear that you were okay," Tris replied, removing his mask.&nbsp; "I love you, Rae.&nbsp; I <em>needed</em> to be sure you were fine.&nbsp; If you say you're feeling better, I'll accept that now.&nbsp; On the other hand, a temperature of under eighty degrees is pretty cold.&nbsp; If this <em>is</em> something about your powers... mutating, I want to help if I can.&nbsp; I know what it's like.&nbsp; I had to learn a way not to freak out and to control how I perceived the world, and teleportation's not exactly safe to screw around with itself."<br><br>He smiled crookedly.&nbsp; "Remember the way I told you I knew you were Isis?&nbsp; I can 'feel' the world around me.&nbsp; Not really textures, but I can stretch my perceptions out and sort of see the world like a bat does, except it's not sonar.&nbsp; It's just a perception of what's there, through walls, through steel, through lead.&nbsp; And if I focus on someone, I can see them in ways no one else can.&nbsp; Hell, I learned anatomy just to find out what the hell I was looking at.&nbsp; An MRI machine's got nothing on what I can perceive in terms of surfaces, densities, and the like.&nbsp; I had to learn to tune out an entire sense, like teaching yourself to be blind, and my teleportation power requires a lot of focus and control to use properly.&nbsp; Especially if I'm doing something more than just jumping short distances with just what I'm carrying."&nbsp; Tris slid down next to her, still in costume but without the mask, and pulled her into his lap before reaching for a biscuit himself.&nbsp; He took a bite, chewed, and swallowed, then went on with a wry grin.&nbsp; "Let's not mention how much vertigo you can get with a sense like that.&nbsp; Or just how badly a botched teleport can injure or sicken someone, and I'm still learning just what my abilities can really do... and they're getting stronger, slowly.&nbsp; That car?&nbsp; Six months ago, I couldn't have pulled that trick off.&nbsp; I can sympathize with what you're going through."

				When Tris came back he came in talking and Rae would just sit there listening, smiling softly as he justified his freaking out.&nbsp; When he sat beside her and ate her body would come closer and curl into his for comfort, she did notice that he was a bit warmer though, her brow perched with this discovery but she said nothing.<br><br>"I love you too Tris, and I am thankful that you care so much about me and just want to see me doing better. I have to admit I'm a little bit worried about my condition but I know that with you and my other friends I'll be okay." She looked up and smiled before kissing his cheek. "I know having your powers had to have been seriously freaky to figure out. I had my grandfather to help me out for a while but once he died that was it, I was just...there to fend for myself. And now, I am too. In a way. I mean it's like yours if you don't know what you're doing or how to control it, you'll end up with an unpleasant surprise. I know what to do in my normal body but this one. I feel like if I were to let out my ice fire, it'd end up with an entire ice berg coming out of my body and squishing innocent people and killing the criminal."<br><br>Huffing she whispered, "I know in time I'll be able to control it. I just know I'll have to take a break from crime fighting and get this under control. Which stresses me out, to be honest but...but I have faith in myself and in you, Phantasm." She winked and kissed his cheek again before saying, "In the mean time, once you're ready I really could go on a nice vacation. And then after I'm going to find a field somewhere and train. Then it's back to the normal routine! I hope."

				"Well, just because we haven't gone on vacation doesn't mean we can't have fun," Tris answered, sliding his hands up and catching the hem of her tank top and sports bra, tugging them up as we went.&nbsp; "After all, Phantasm now knows where that annoying, gorgeous Isis holes up, doesn't he?"&nbsp; His voice dropped down to a sensual whisper with a hint of malice lurking in its depths.&nbsp; Before she could react, he whipped the clothing off, careful not to damage it, leaving her topless, and the 'villain' let his hands grope and caress her large, full breasts without pause, his gloves rough on her soft, silky skin.&nbsp; "She causes him so much trouble... maybe it's time for her to repay him for all her petty nuisance to his schemes... repay him with that beautiful body of hers, certainly a better use than fighting, isn't it?&nbsp; After all, curves like that were made for a man to <em>enjoy</em>," he purred maliciously, suddenly pinching her nipples hard.&nbsp; "And I'm going to enjoy them, Isis.&nbsp; Enjoy punishing you for <em>daring</em> to interfere, for causing me trouble... and by the time I'm done, you're going to be begging for me to punish you even more..."

				With her eyes widening a bit, Rae laughed, "Whoa, Tris..." she felt her heart beating much faster as he came to her, talking in a voice that was husky with suggestive desire and promises. When he snagged off her top and bra she gasped as her breasts bounced free and now were exposed and under the ministrations of his gloved hands. "Isis," she gasped, "Would never willingly give in to Phantasm so easily," she whispered, getting into the way he was talking, how he was teasing her. <br><br>Whimpering when he pulled on her nipples her face flushed with desire as she moaned and tilted her head back her right hand came up, suddenly slapping him, almost playfully before pushing him away. Her hazel eyes glittered with desire and with a challenge, "If Phantasm wants Isis for his own repayment and pleasure, he's going to have to work for it."

				Before she finished, Phantasm was back on his feet, and her upper arms were engulfed by his large, strong hands.&nbsp; Suddenly, she was picked up and slammed up against a wall - not nearly as hard as either of them might have done it, and nowhere near painful for either, but firm enough for the purposes&nbsp; of their game - and one hand pinned her throat, holding her up, carefully not pressing down enough to truly choke her.&nbsp; The other slid down her body, pulling down her shorts and panties.&nbsp; "Beautiful, daring, and <em>foolhardy</em>," Tris hissed, the angry sound of his voice belied by the wickedly mischievous smile on his face.&nbsp; "A dangerous combination, girl."&nbsp; That same rough glove was now probing at her thighs, brushing over her lips, then two thick fingers pushed into her sex, violating her in a way no other villain ever had. "I'm going to enjoy this, Isis... and you're never going to upset one of my criminal schemes again, are you?"

				The move was unexpected and Isis gasped as her spine met the wall, with one hand on her throat and the other moving down the heroine trembled as sick excitement bubbled up deep down inside of her. With her clothes being peeled off by the sexual villain Rae's eyes kept firm and calm as she gazed into his precious baby blues, all the while not trying to give out just how much this excited her. "Ah," she jerked up and her luscious globes would jiggle when his two, thick fingers would slide into her warmth, despite her temperature dropping her body worked just the same when presented with something so very arousing.<br><br>"Heh," she smiled, "I will Phantasm, I will make sure I am always in the way," she gulped against his fingers, "You will never go a day without knowing that I, Isis, will always be one step behind ready to ruin everything for your criminal mind-mmmm," she closed her eyes when his fingers hit a sensitive spot deep inside.

She moaned as little as she watched his tongue run over his wet, gloved digits and suckled them clean. "Ah," she gasped as his hand gripped her by the hair and yanked her along into her bedroom. With her body down on the mattress and her gasps heavy and excited, she glanced back and her eyes widened as she saw the handcuffs. She would have to give her own personal thanks to Alex later on. <br><br>"Oh," she yelped when his hand spanked her on her bottom making her head tilt back in painful pleasure, "Oh please Phantasm. You can't make me squeal and tremble, there's no way I'll so easily fall under your ministrations as you attempt to punish me.

				The next blow that landed was made by bare skin, not the rough gloves from before, and his hand wrapped in her hair once more, jerking her head back.&nbsp; "So you want to get fucked, do you, Isis?&nbsp; You want me to use and abuse that pretty body of yours?&nbsp; Fine then, I'll give you what you want!" Tris snarled, already hard from the heat of the moment and the way old animosity and new passions burned together.&nbsp; His large, strong hands grabbed her thick, muscular thighs, forcing them apart in a display of the same strength she'd always found impossible to match.&nbsp; Next she felt his crown at her slit, moments before Tris just drove himself in, rough and brutal, a savagely sensual growl issuing from his lips, and his hands forced themselves under her breasts, groping them, then pinching her nipples harder than he had before.

Looking back she panted as his hands would take her by the breasts and tease her soft tan nipples that hardened on contact yet again, squealing in pain and pleasure as he pinched them.<br><br>"Oh you fucking bastard," she gasped, "Oh shit. You...you better keep moving, what you've got for me so far I'm really <em>not</em> impressed. If you want Isis to give in then you're going to have to do a much better job then that!"

				Tris pulled out and rammed himself in again, then retreated without reentering.&nbsp; "I think you need to learn to shut up, you dirty slut," he growled, turning and opening a drawer.&nbsp; Smirking to himself, Tris returned with one pair of her lacy panties, flipping her over and then ramming them into her mouth.&nbsp; "That should help, don't you think?" he teased, reaching up and grabbing her breasts, roughly squeezing them, then dragging his nails over her nipples, pushing down hard enough to be painful without breaking her smooth, tan skin, smirking wickedly as he forced something she clearly loved on her.&nbsp; "Now then, where were we..."&nbsp; Once again, Rae found herself picked up and flipped like it was nothing, on her front once more with him between her legs.&nbsp; Another brutal thrust buried him in her, and one broad hand descended on her rear, slapping it, before both resumed their places under her breasts.

				With her panties in her mouth, Rae was now gagged and bound, she could easily spit it out but for now she would give him the satisfaction. Her eyes rolled back and she moaned as his nails scratched along her tight, tanned nipples and then across her bronzed skin. The bed bounced and squeaked as she was flipped and his cock was forced into her tight body yet again. "Mmmph!"<br><br>She inhaled sharply through her nose and closed her eyes as his cock began to descend into her, with his hands in place. Her body shuddered violently and she moaned as his hips moved back and forth, fucking her without mercy. Rae's body was reacting strongly to his uncharacteristic roughness and dirty talk. Her pussy was <em>dripping</em> with pleasure and excitement, making the tan skin of her thighs and the pinkness of her cunt shine with her wetness.

				Tris kept up the relentless pace, rough and fast, groaning loudly.&nbsp; "That's right, you get off on it, don't you, Isis?&nbsp; Being helpless before a <em>villain</em>," he teased, pinching her again, then caressing her breasts.&nbsp; "Being <em>used</em> by that thief you never caught.&nbsp; Being at his mercy while he fucks you like you want."&nbsp; &nbsp; The merciless pounding had him hard and thick inside her, and his nails and fingers were constantly attacking her nipples and the rest of her breasts.&nbsp; "The Ice Queen is just one more dirty, naughty girl, and I can feel how wet this has you, Isis.&nbsp; You <em>want</em> it like this, want <em>me</em> to take you."&nbsp; Suddenly, he picked her up, still holding onto her breasts as he lifted her and then forced her to the carpeted floor with her hips in the air, pounding down into her tight, wet, steaming pussy, her juices flowing down her legs and belly when they leaked out of her slit.

Let's just hope you can actually succeed, she has her doubts you know." Turning to face him her fingers trailed along his jaw ad then traced his lips a little before sighing. "I think you're right in taking time to take a step back and review just what you plan to do. Sometimes every one needs to do a bit of soul searching and figure out just what it is you want in life. I can tell you now though that if you do join up with us heroes and heroines at first the crowd will be hard to win over. We've had the few villains change their ways and took atleast a year for us to truth them but once we did come around we have formed strong, iron gripping bonds for life."<br><br>She kissed him gently and whispered, "I have faith that whatever it is you decide to do in your life you'll come out on top. And with your powers you could do anything you so desired. You don't have to live out life in a mask...just be whatever makes you happiest."

In fact," she whispered, "Isis broke the handcuffs," her right hand went down and wrapped around his cock tightly, stroking him slowly. "So why doesn't cute, sweet, light weight Tris just go ahead and try to see if you could ever really hold me down," her challenge was full of sweet, dirty promises and her flirty wink as she kissed him seemed to sing for miles.

She just wanted more of his pleasing, playful torture. When he turned the water one her brow rose before she smacked against the wet wall whole he began to spank her. A yelp sounded following each sharp snap of skin as his large hand went back and fort, her thick flesh jiggled and shook until her grabbed her right cheek and pulled her head back.<br><br>Rae groaned as she kissed him back, desperation and pain urging her forward into pleasure as she trembled, anxious for feeling what it was he planned to do to her.

She yawned and stretched before humming a little tune and then collapsing onto the bed, looking up at the ceiling before she said, "I want to do something. With you," she winked, "We might have been together for a few days but we have yet to go out as a couple."

				Tris was just as naked, and he fell beside her, pulling her into his arms and against his now-clean skin.&nbsp; "Really?&nbsp; I must not have noticed in the haze of pleasure and pain, our little spat, and then dislocating my shoulder rescuing you from a madman," he replied drolly.&nbsp; "So just what did you have in mind, Rae?&nbsp; Lunch?&nbsp; A movie date?&nbsp; Putting on an exhibition of metahuman sexuality on the steps of City Hall?"

				Swatting him on the bottom as she rolled to face him she laughed and then said, "I know very well what all has been going on. I'm just saying, I want to brag to the world who it is I managed to snag,:" she winked and kissed him deeply before humming against his mouth. "But to be honest...I'm really hungry," she sighed. "Like I could eat an entire horse and still be pretty hungry. Think it would be possible for us to go and grab a bite to eat?" She arched a brow hopefully and smiled, waiting.

				"No.&nbsp; I'm going to refuse the whims of my gorgeous, sexy girlfriend, because I want to pick a fight and sleep on the couch instead of being allowed to hold her and maybe make sweet, sweet love to her tonight," Tris answered sarcastically.&nbsp; "Of course we can go somewhere and eat.&nbsp; Any idea where you'd like to go, love?"&nbsp; His hands caressed her body, but through the application of supreme willpower, he managed to avoid doing anything <em>too</em> sexual.&nbsp; "I'm hungry, but I really don't care where we go."

				Lightly she kissed him before smiling and then saying,&nbsp; "I'm either in the mood for hot Mexican food or Italian." Rae got up and swung her legs over the side with her feet touching the floor, she grabbed a brush from her night stand's drawer and brushed through her hair, letting the damp strands become wonderfully untangled. She licked her lips and smiled before getting up and getting her panties and bra on. Then she put on a long sleeved shirt and a pair of tight blue jeans with black boots. "Get up get up," she sang and winked, "You could go naked but then I'd just gouge everyone's eyes out, you really are too good looking."

				"What is it with you and this possessive jealousy?" Tris asked, chuckling at her and pulling on his own clothing, wearing a dark gray sweater and dark blue trousers.&nbsp; "It's like you're going to stab any girl who even looks at me.&nbsp; And I keep wondering if maybe I should hire a body guard for poor Flame after accidentally flashing her.&nbsp; I can only imagine what you've got in store for <em>her</em>."&nbsp; He shook his head, smiling indulgently.&nbsp; "But anyway, I'm paying for lunch.&nbsp; It is a date, after all.&nbsp; Let's go with Italian.&nbsp; I feel kind of like pizza, and I know this great little place.&nbsp; Guy who runs it used to be a hench for Adder until he got his seed money, but he's legit nowadays, trust me."

				"I'm not possessive," Rae suddenly yelped, and then frowned, "Okay so maybe I am, sorry." She took a deep breath before saying, "I'll try harder to not be as crazy okay?" She smiled, willing to at least make an effort despite what she really wanted. Licking her lips she turned and smiled, "Italian sounds rather great. I'm going for some chicken Parmesan, maybe a sub." Rae moaned with hunger at the thought before snatching up her purse and hopping into the living room. "Come on big bear," she called and opened the door.<br><br>Once they were downstairs and out into the nippy, winter cold she sighed and stretched, "So. Lead the way."

				His comments made her frown but she just sighed, "Well think of how you might feel if boys were seeing me naked and eying me up and down," she put up her hands and gave a smile to show she wasn't mad, "Just saying." She winked and then leaned over kissing his cheek, "Mmm fine. I won't be as jealous anymore, I promise," she nibbled on his earlobe before whispering, "You just can't handle me another time today, I might break you," she teased before sitting back. "So lunch a movie it is! Yay! What kind of movie you wanna go watch? I'm think an action comedy or something interesting..."

				"Rae, if I got jealous over every guy who eyed <em>you</em>, half the population of the city would've gotten slugged by now," Tris replied with a laugh.&nbsp; "Besides, they get to look at you.&nbsp; I'm the one who takes you home, shares your bed, and wakes up with you in my arms in the morning.&nbsp; I'm not going to get upset because guys notice you're sexy as hell."&nbsp; He moved through traffic easily, then answered, "Well, comedy sounds good.&nbsp; I've had enough drama for the week."

				Rae rolled her eyes a bit but smiled, not believing what he said about half the population eying her of all people she just kissed his cheek and smirked. "I suppose," she said, "After all I am able to nibble all over you and lick any inch of your body I please. And it's not that I'm upset that people would notice, I mean I know a lot of people who have noticed that. Ah forget it," she sighed and smirked, "Like you said we are each others' so it's no big deal. And good, comedy is just what I need."<br><br>Soon they arrived at the place he had mentioned, Rae got out and smelled the thick, spicy smell of spices and marinara she hummed with hunger and licked her lips, "My, my. I am so excited," once inside they were seated at a booth towards the front. Rae clapped her hands and giggled, "Yay food." When the waiter came she ordered a Dr. Pepper and a big chicken parmesan sub.

				Once they had finished eating and were heading out Rae had her hand firmly in Tris' before she leaned up and whispered, "That food thing was a good move dear, just wait until we get to the movies." She smiled and kissed his neck before getting into his car. Once at the theaters she went with him to the ticket booth and they got their stubs for the newest comedy flick, though it had been out a few days she wondered just how crowded it would be. There were a few people inside but Rae sat up at the top, dragging her boyfriend along.<br><br>When she was sitting back she crossed her legs and smiled, the previews had just started. Turning slowly she whispered into his ear, "I love you," it was sincere yet also a little naughty as her teeth would nibble on his earlobe.

				"I love you too, Rae, but I'm going to have to spank you when we get back, aren't I?" Tris teased, whispering back to her just as softly, reaching up and pulling her hair, forcing her head to retreat back from him.&nbsp; "Spank you and attend to your needs.&nbsp; Again."&nbsp; Instead of doing something else, though, Tris slid his hands down and pulled her into his lap, nuzzling her neck.&nbsp; "Let's enjoy the show, love.&nbsp; Then I can thank you properly for a wonderful afternoon out..."

				Rae giggled, "Mmhmm." Pulling away she sat back and crossed her legs, stretching before she settled in and turned her attention to the screen happily, always excited by watching new movies she smiled as she was getting all comfortable and relaxed.<br><br>The show was funny, honestly, Rae was laughing hard most of the time, and with Tris beside her she realized why she loved him so much, so easily. He was honestly still her best friend just with amazing benifits and a love that ran deeper then friendship. She bit her lip as she would glance at him from time to time, admiring everything about him.<br><br>When it was over and they were walking outside she smiled, leaning into him, holding his hand as they strolled a bit. "Wanna go to the park?" However when she asked that she heard the wailing calls of a fire truck and then screams, her brows furrowed slightly. Letting go of Tris' hand she turned, and jogged down to the corner past the movie theater. She gasped as she saw an apartment building covered in flames.<br><br>"Tris," she said, her voice tight, she looked at him. "...Raincheck on the park?"

				"Yeah.&nbsp; Rain check.&nbsp; Get in there, Rae.&nbsp; No, wait, let me help, Rae."&nbsp; Tris frowned at the fire for a brief moment, considering it, and then sighed.&nbsp; <em>Can't do nothing, can I?</em> he thought to himself.&nbsp; It wouldn't be the first time Phantasm had stepped over the line between right and wrong to pull someone out of the rubble.&nbsp; Just the first time he wouldn't be stepping back... it was one hell of a lot more emotional now than it was then.&nbsp; Slipping behind a wall and out of sight with her pulled alongside him, Tris concentrated for a few seconds, then they both disappeared in a swirl of light.&nbsp; Both of them found themselves in Rae's apartment.&nbsp; "Thought I'd save you the commute back to your costume."&nbsp; He kissed her forehead.&nbsp; "Now go on, get."&nbsp; Before Rae had a moment to respond, he was gone again.<br><br>A minute later, a fire station on the other side of town was the target of Phantasm's latest heist as the gray and purple villain snagged an extra-large Nomex coat, an oxygen mask and breathing apparatus, and a helmet.&nbsp; It wasn't precisely <em>nice</em>, but when he reappeared a few seconds later on a building next to the apartments, surveying the fire before putting on the combination disguise and safety gear, the purpose of his little theft was revealed.&nbsp; "Well, time to go to work."&nbsp; Phantasm teleported up into the heart of the blaze... where it had trapped a little girl and her pet cat.

				Left in the spot, Rae blinked, but then she sighed and nodded, tearing off her citizen clothes and pulling up her hair into a tight bun she then yanked on the spandex and the mask. In just two minutes she was right back out, gliding on her trails of beautiful ice. With her body tilting forward she bounced a bit on her feet as the apartment came into view. Then she jumped, and soared right into a window, panting softly she looked around, her hazel eyes wild as she covered her mouth and went through the apartment. Hearing a soft scream and went faster, walking, and finding a teenage boy backed into a corner. <br><br>Looking around Rae tried to find a way and then figured a way to get through to him. With ice surrounding her the fire would lick at the frozen water and melt it while also making the flames sizzle down. Getting to the teenager, she picked him up as if it were nothing. <br><br>"My sister," he suddenly cried, "My sister! She's in her room, next door!"<br>Cursing, Rae ran through the room and jumped out of the window, using her ice, she glided down and dropped the boy on the ground before jumping right back in.

				Phantasm grabbed the little girl and let her hold her cat.&nbsp; When he went to force his way out - teleporting was out of the question with a civilian in his arms when the roof's structural stability didn't look too reliable, which made getting out of the danger zone a priority, not standing around in it - he felt Isis's presence as she tore in to rescue someone and then back out before returning.&nbsp; "Here!&nbsp; Get her out!" he snapped in a hard voice, pushing the girl into her arms and tearing off back into the flames after someone else, not giving the heroine time to respond or even really process that the anonymous firefighter was both wearing Phantasm's gear underneath his coat and had the wrong fire station's numbers on his equipment.&nbsp; Another moment passed and Phantasm was deeper into the heart of the apartment building, appearing out of nowhere to take the impact of a structural beam that was about to descend onto a fire fighter.&nbsp; With a grunt of effort, the ex-villain tossed it aside, then pulled the other man to his feet.&nbsp; "C'mon.&nbsp; There's no one alive here.&nbsp; We need to get up and start pulling people out before this part of the building collapses!"

				"Oh," Isis took up the girl, confused at the appearance of this stranger so loosely dressed, but she made no moves to investigate she just moved out of the apartment building and sailed down to the ground to deposit the little girl into a woman's arms that was apart of the medical team. And just like that Rae ran through the front door, dodging falling wood, avoiding the licks of fire as she moved.<br><br>And as she walked she heard screaming, but the screams were odd, and she realized it was the cries of wood as a railing from the stair case to her right fell and blocked her path. Rae jumped back, about to turn until she heard crying.<br><br>A baby crying.<br><br>"Crap," she hissed and backed up, closing her eyes she said a prayer before running and absolutely leaping through the wall of fire, she landed right in the door of the apartment and raced to the baby left in his play pen. When she did though she turned and froze, seeing a figure covered in a night gown. Hiding the baby's face in her breast, Rae walked forth and gasped as she saw a women there. Her face was beaten and bloodied, hardly recognizable.<br><br>This had been more then just an accident, it was a crime. Someone committed arsony for a murder, Rae's blood ran cold and her eyes narrowed slowly. Without a word she turned, taking up the woman's body with her, carrying them both from the fire, her head down as she did, her heart heavy with what to do now. She looked up as a social, worker took the baby and Rae laid down the woman. <br><br>"Crap," a police officer said, meeting Isis' gaze, "This is serious huh?"<br>Rae nodded, "I'd say so...you still have men in there too..."

				Not for long.&nbsp; Moving quickly, Phantasm directed the firefighters with a sharp voice and stern tone, using his own senses to guide them from victim to victim, occasionally delivering a hard blow to break through some obstruction or other.&nbsp; When the building started to come down, the last of the firefighters found the stranger blocking a beam from hitting her.&nbsp; "Get out!&nbsp; The whole place is coming down!" he snapped, faceless under his mask and the one he'd borrowed from the city's fire departments.<br><br>"What about you?" she yelled back.<br><br>"GO!" Phantasm roared, deflecting another beam.&nbsp; "Just get out!&nbsp; I'll make my own way!"&nbsp; The firefighter nodded finally and dashed out, leaving him behind... just as a wall collapsed.&nbsp; An onrush of oxygen into the flames lurking behind it fed a surge of heat and fire, engulfing the ex-villain as he stood there.&nbsp; The roaring flames crackled around him, singing even the fire jacket, but the protection of his costume, infused with Nomex as a precaution for dealing with pyrokinetics (such as Flame), kept the man inside from too much harm.&nbsp; The breaking structural elements sent another beam into his shoulder, still weak from the day before, drawing out a startled yelp of pain and breaking the strange spell of distraction.&nbsp; Buried under the debris, Phantasm turned his will to the powers he'd been gifted with by an absurd twist of genetics, disappearing in a shimmer of color unnoticable in the infernal glow of the flames.<br><br>Next to Isis, though, he reappeared, burned, singed, and covered in soot, still face down and unrecognizable aside from the telltale flicker of light from his teleportation.&nbsp; After a long moment, he forced himself to his knees and pulled off the breathing mask, uncovering the hidden optics of his suit.&nbsp; "Figures," came the distorted, artificial voice of Phantasm as he looked from Isis to the firearms the startled police had leveled on him.&nbsp; They didn't have time to do anything else before the former villain disappeared again, picking a rooftop this time, then another swirl of color carried him away to the fire house he'd borrowed his equipment from.<br><br>"What the-?" a startled, deep voice snapped from behind him.&nbsp; A firefighter nearly as large and broad as the ex-villain himself confronted the battered, blackened form as it shucked off the oxygen tank.<br><br>Phantasm's face, gray only where the breath mask had kept the soot off of him, turned to regard the hapless firefighter impartially.&nbsp; "...trust me, it's been one of those weeks," his inhuman voice responded as he set the tank down, then removed his jacket and tossed it to the other man.&nbsp; "Thanks for letting me borrow your gear."&nbsp; A strange, artificial chuckle resonated and he disappeared again, back to Rae's apartment to confront the no doubt colorful commentary she had waiting for him.

				A moment later Rae sailed through her window, her white suit was blackened with burn marks along her hips and over her back, her hair was a bit singed as well which just pissed her off since she had put it into a bun for that particular reason but she guessed some time in the middle of it all it had come loose and now hung over her right shoulder in a thick, curled pony tail. When she saw Phantasm, Isis frowned. Stalking up she slapped his right arm, hard, but then yanked him down and threw her arms high and tight around his neck, with her face in his neck she stayed there, silently before she pulled back and smiled.<br><br>"Thank you for the help out there today even if you could have gotten yourself killed. I should slap you around but I figure you might be a bit sore and I don't wanna hit you too hard and see soot on my carpet."<br><br>Rae crossed her arms under her spandex clad breasts, "Sure you don't wanna join me as a hero?"

				Phantasm winced and pushed her off of him, reaching up carefully to remove his mask, then slowly removed the rest of his costume, revealing that a good section of him had angry red burns, including around his neck - they looked like they were sunburns, or would have if they hadn't come from the inside of a full body costume.&nbsp; "Sure, I could have gotten myself killed.&nbsp; Fire is <em>hot</em> and you can't breathe smoke," Tristram answered, deadpan.&nbsp; "That's why I, uh, borrowed some safety equipment.&nbsp; I gave it back," he added a bit lamely.&nbsp; "Besides, if I <em>hadn't</em> stuck around that last few seconds, they'd be mourning a firefighter instead of wondering whether or not the viciously evil Phantasm is about to start robbing first responders."&nbsp; His voice was thick with sarcasm.&nbsp; "And no, I'm not sure.&nbsp; I just couldn't stand there and do nothing.&nbsp; It's not the first time I've tried to do a little bit of good anonymously.&nbsp; Just the first time I've managed to accidentally teleport in front of a dozen frigging cops when I go to make sure my girlfriend's okay after <em>she</em> was risking <em>her</em> life in the middle of one."&nbsp; Tris smirked at her.&nbsp; "So, should I spank you for risking your life out there, maybe see if you want to join me on the sidelines as a retiree?"

				"Oh Tris," she whispered once his suit came off, uncovering the marks of the fire from before. She moved towards him and with ice cold hands she took his wrists and led him to the couch. Laying her palms and fingers over each mark to soothe the burns with a cold salve that marked her body. Thankfully it would provide some relief but they might need to get actual medicine if it called for it. When he suggested retiring just like him, Rae grew still. Her hazel eyes glanced up into his beautiful blue orbs and she bit her lower lip before she rose her shoulders, sighing, and then shook her head. "No," she said firmly, "No I can't do that."<br><br>Her hands smoothed down his chest slowly, "My job isn't easy, my life is complicated, but. I'm a superhero and as a superhero it is my duty to protect people until I'm old or in very dire need of doing so. It's just...I would hate myself&nbsp; to stand by and do nothing. If we hadn't done anything I'd never have found that baby and that poor woman whose death would never have been justified. It's not an easy job, it's dirty and scary but it's still my job and my passion."

				"Oh," she flushed, "Sorry. Like I said, I just take this job a bit too seriously I guess," she nibbled her lower lip but listened to what he had to say. Rae was happy that his injuries weren't too serious and she was mildly grateful that the likes of Alex had warned him for the future. She nodded a few times and leaned over to kiss him tenderly, before her forehead touched his own and her nose would playfully nudge his own. "Of course baby you can do whatever you like." She smiled, "I'm going to take a shower and get changed myself, may need to run this outfit through some hand washed procedures. Ugh, I hate fires." Rae got up and took off her mask and then peeled off her suit, half naked she stood and then walked to her hamper to deposit her outfit before she went into her bathroom and got naked right before jumping into the shower.<br><br>Once she was all cleaned off and soothed she came out and went into her bedroom, dressed in shorts and a shirt, she wondered what she would have done had Tris actually asked her to ditch this life. Him or Isis. Simple as that. Rae didn't know that answer and she prayed with her might that it would never come up as a question.<br><br>Rae came out and went to make some food, the actions earlier made her exceptionally hungry like never before she wondered if it was a side effect from the nitrogen.

				Tris did much the same, returning a half-hour later dressed in loose sweat clothes after driving back to her place, a gray shirt and black sweatpants, only to look over her food.&nbsp; "Someone's eating like they're my size, aren't they?" he teased, sliding up behind her and wrapping his arms around her body from behind.&nbsp; "Mind sharing, or will I be taking food from a starving girl?"&nbsp; Warm, strong arms enfolded her, and he rest his head on hers, letting her keep cooking, but not without his protective embrace.&nbsp; Privately, he reflected on her response to his teasing idea that she would retire.&nbsp; He didn't think he could do it, not that way.&nbsp; It was too important to his lover, and Tris couldn't deny the desire to help had some purchase on his own heart as well.

				As she dressed up the chicken with marinara sauce and cheese she jumped when arms surrounded her and Tris' deep, warm voice flooded her senses. Rae closed her eyes and smiled as she leaned into him, turning her head to kiss the tip of his nose before sighing. "Of course I can share though to be fair I really am starving, quite a lot." She laughed and opened the stove, backing up against hm and keeping one hand on his arms to make sure he stayed around her. She loved how warm and safe she was in his hold, she wasn't about to let him go just yet.<br><br>Putting the pan inside he could see bread baking with another pan holding more chicken. She closed it up and looked back at Tris, "I guess this is just one of those days where I'll be eating a lot, probably something with my hormones or something...ah well." She snuggled into him and sighed, "Still sore hm?"

				"A little bit.&nbsp; And I guess you've got to eat a lot to keep curves like that, huh?" Tris teased, kissing the top of her head gently.&nbsp; "But I've been beaten up before.&nbsp; The only part that really hurt was getting cracked across the back right on my shoulder before it's done knitting all the way back up.&nbsp; That... wasn't fun, really.&nbsp; The burns are just like little sunburns.&nbsp; It was more annoying than anything else, and I'm glad my suit is machine washable aside from the mask's electronics."&nbsp; He pulled her into an armchair, keeping her in his lap.&nbsp; "I've gotta admit, those ice powers of yours probably do have <em>some</em> use other than just making you look good.&nbsp; Not that you need powers for that."&nbsp; Tris winked at her.&nbsp; "So what did you have planned for the afternoon, Rae?"

				"Hey," she looked back and scowled, "You're trying to call me fat aren't you," she stuck out her tongue and then laughed before sighing, "My powers are pretty beastly I have to admit," she said with mock pride while snuggling up onto his lap. Turning so her legs were a bit across the arm of the chair her head would rest on his shoulder and she hummed softly. "Not sure, I think I'm going to relax. Or atleast try to, I know Alex has been pestering me lately though to go out and dance or something like that but then again if Alex isn't working she's club hopping so I'm used to that. What about you Big Bear?"

				"Relax and enjoy some nice, quiet time with my gorgeous girlfriend," he answered, stroking her hair, then nuzzling it.&nbsp; "As far as dancing goes, I've had enough 'fun' over the last couple of days.&nbsp; Alex is just an adrenaline junkie."&nbsp; One strong hand caressed her jawline, then the arm it was attached to slid around her waist.&nbsp; "But really, I just want to relax.&nbsp; You know, like we do sometimes when we're not either punching each other or having a night out?" Tris teased.

				Playfully Rae poked out her tongue before giving a broad, happy smile. "Relaxing would be pretty amazing right now. Maybe a movie, some time to just lay around, eat, kiss, talk." She hummed and snuggled into his arm and his touch, drawing the warmth in further to her and turning her head a little to kiss his palm before hiding her face right back into the nook of his shoulder and neck. He smelled amazing and she could definitely be able to sniff along him all day if she wanted.<br><br>"Cuddle me," she murmured, "And talk to me too, hehe."

				Tris pulled her against him, tucking her into his arms with an easy strength.&nbsp; "A movie.&nbsp; Another one.&nbsp; Well, we get at least seventy channels in basic cable these days, maybe there's something on," he answered, stroking her dark hair.&nbsp; A moment's concentration and the tuner was in his hands, a strangely domestic sort of action for the menacing thief known as the Phantasm.&nbsp; "No.&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Seen it.&nbsp; No.&nbsp; <em>Hell</em> no.&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Shopping?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Weather's going to be nice this week, that's nice.&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Ah, maybe... oh, good, it's starting."&nbsp; Tris settled on an old Sandra Bullock film, kissing the top of her head.&nbsp; "So just what sort of thing's going on at work, when you're not busy freezing someone's ass off, Miss Isis?"
