Midnight Shadows

She kissed him back, which meant that she had somewhat forgiven him. So he hoped. Her hands found their way behind his neck and he let out a content sigh. His own, drifted to her lower back and...

She was still Kate he told her, and she wanted to believe him. Wanted to believe that what she was feeling was natural. But it wasn’t natural. She was never meant to be a mutant, she might have...

She turned at hearing his voice, it wasn't a dream. It wasn't. He was here with her, so why didn't the panic go away? His arm slipped around her. His lips against her forehead and she let out the...

The people around her kept saying she looked pale, and she couldn't help but smile at him weakly. Yeah, she was pale, blaming the condition she was in. But couldn't exactly tell him what was up right...

She felt so tired, so damn tired all of a sudden. No, she had felt tired for a week now, her mind was only now allowing to feel it. Sleepless nights, short naps that ended up in her waking abruptly....

She was barely holding herself back, when he placed his hand over hers and gave confirmation that he was here. She just nodded, not trusting her voice right now. Knowing that she would break and the...

She crawled closer to him, still holding on to his hands as she worked her way through the pain. “Yeah, I am.” He answered her when she asked him about being a big brother. And he wished he had been...

“Yes.” She whispered back when he mentioned his mission to protect her. Her heart thudded hard against her chest, her body doing that warm and cold thing at the same time again. Carol sat on the tip...

He let her have the name joke, knew that it was helping her with the distraction. But on the inside he still cringed, because if his parents had decided on that combination would have made his life...

He was sorry that he had put her through this but he wasn’t sorry that he had done it. They were warring within him and he let them. It made him feel rooted, connected again. The things that had...

Carol had changed back into her regular clothing, her boots, jeans and his long-sleeved shirt, it was chilly but she didn’t care. Her eyes were locked on the unconscious figure in front of her. Her...

Carol wiped her mouth clean with the back of her hand, when she was finally done with losing the contents...

Carol had to keep in mind that she was not exactly fighting Bucky, that this was James Barnes, the Winter Soldier but her heart kept telling her that she was full of shit and that she was beating up...

Peter lost himself in the windows on his screen, tapping away furiously and bringing up camera feeds left and right and running his special program to find anything that would point out to what had...

Lucas experienced something that he had to dig deep for to give it a name, he was… pleased. The paramedic had agreed to sit with him for lunch, and that had pleased him. He was sure if Jenna saw him...

“Yeah, thought it smart to lock away most of my powers.” And it hadn’t been smart at all. “Backfired a little.” He mused, trying to get her to focus on something else than the pain she was currently...

“Fuck you, Jenna.” Carol said when the other woman called her out on her comeback. She really was not in the mood to just stand here and get a verbal smack down from her ex’s sister. She knew what...

Benji kept his eyes on Jenna, she was screaming and her body was contorting in pain. It was horrible to watch, especially since he couldn’t help her. He didn’t know how to fix this. Whereas Kate was...

Benji waited, watched her, she pulled her hand free from his and she didn’t look at him. Gritting his teeth, he had an inkling of an idea what would come next. She shoved against his chest....

She was losing it, falling apart right here. She didn’t feel comfortable in her own skin and then the memories of what they had made her do. Put her against Benji, make her fight him and he hadn’t...

And still Carol would not tell her why she was here. Jenna was not privy to anything in Carol’s life, and she never would be. Her eyes followed Jenna’s movements, watched as the other woman tossed...

Carol noticed the clenching of Jenna’s hands, and waited. This could go two ways, either the woman would try and hit her or she would keep herself in check. Rooted to the floor once more in a span of...

After that phone call she had taken a long shower, she needed to clear her mind. Needed to think things over and actually start planning things. Not all was lost, she had to remember that. He had...

Kate didn’t feel like herself, like it wasn’t her own body currently walking down the hall towards… where? This wasn’t the way to her room, she was sure of that but Sam had a hold on her hand and was...

It said something about him that he didn’t flinch when her hand snapped up again but this time to grasp his jaw instead of slapping it. He was grateful for that, somewhat. “No, I don’t think so.” He...
