Midnight Shadows

Fatigue tickled her bones even as her body sought to reset itself, regenerate everything damaged, everything strained. Perhaps it was something else, something warm and settling. She wanted to curl...

His answers were clipped at best, simple, near single syllables. The simplest form of an apology, for the moment that presented. Then a declination of her hoped intent of being fired. She watched his...

If there was a component to his abilities that he had learned to sharpen in the wake of being married to an empath, it was how to manipulate the psionic energy she utilized, and on some level shield...

Putting herself as close to him as she allowed was probably not the smartest thing to do in order to maintain the emotional high she was currently sitting at. The jerk that he was, he tugged her hand...

Elise looked to the suit, it was a basic Six model, similar to the one that had arrived with Alex and Paige. Six had been Tony’s attempt at programming emotions and like responses. He had been so...

He tried to keep his eyes off of Jessa and her high profile pearly white grin, that effort however, led him to glancing towards Dana at the espresso machine, her own smile wide and encouraging. A...

He could feel Paige’s eyes following after him, them, as he wrapped his hand around Kate’s and led her away form the main doors. There was little in the moment that he could have offered his younger...

Third time was the charm, or so the saying went. Third time was the moment she almost snapped. Andrea Bock and her ridiculous mouth, her whining attitude, and lazy demeanor. Apparently the serum she...

“My friend,” one of the pair lingering where he had left them, “is getting’ married tom’row.” He declared.

Eddie sighed as he set the broom and pan aside, turning his attention back to the younger...

“It is also possible that evidence tied to recent activities might have been conveniently handed over as well.” She lifted the soda can to her lips and took a drink. The bite of the carbonation was...

In a way, she was adding insult to injury, and a part of her acknowledged that, the part of her head that was constantly processing biological signal sand statuses. She had taken stock of everything...

“Because no one has even-” she pursed her lips when she noted the sudden chill, “-talked to her.” She practically growled, Wanda suddenly completely removed from her vision. There was loose gravel...

The moment they had cleared the main doors, and everyone had made sure that each individual was present and accounted for, she had seized Benji by the shirt had hauled him out of the main foyer. The...

Tuesdays were his go-fer days. How they had ever reached that agreement, he was still trying to puzzle out. It seemed Tuesdays were high demand when there was little else to do that sit around the...

She shifted where she stood, moved her weight from one hip to the other, but it was subtle enough to likely go unnoticed. It wasn’t outright irritation, it had more to do with Nathan being demanding,...

Once all the tacos were boxed up, the cashier brought bags to pack up all the little styrofoam packages. Gabe was going to flip. First, he was going to be mad that they went out and recruited a new...

Be nice.

That was Caitlin’s instruction.

Once they had pawned the dynamic trio off on Wanda, he had followed her Cait into the shower, got her good and clean everywhere, and then stepped...

She stared for a long time at her reflection, as if it would somehow make sense of the butterflies churning in her gut. There was no reason to feel nervous, she wasn’t even sure if that was what she...

There was an irritated tension knotting itself together between them. She could feel it, sense it, likely he was all too aware of it. The side effects of the serum coupled with her indirect blaming...

“Yeah.” He responded to the cop’s analysis about his peers. He was at least nice enough to refer to them as ‘colleagues’ which put them on even footing, and steered him clear of outright referring to...

Deflective right off the bat.

Venom shifted just beneath the surface, curiosity piqued by the mouth that offered such a retort, even as his desire to lope back towards the ridiculous trio wavered...

It was not as warm as it was supposed to be. Her left eye peeked open, rolled about in an attempt to gain bearing and presence. She pushed her left arm out before her, searching. The bedding was...

It was one of the most mesmerizing things, to watch her. Her muscles would tense, her back would bow, she would try to squirm out of the grip he sought to keep her contained with. He drew in every...

The first weeks had been trying, she knew that, trying to acclimatize herself to her surroundings, to the people directly within them. To him. To being back in a place where it was safe to feel, to...

Better off without him. He thought that Paige deserved better than what he could offer to her. He kept trying to sink beneath the surface of his own insecurities because those were what he was able...
