The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

Abyss slammed an empty shot glass down on the slick black bar, managing not to crack the glass or the bar for that matter. It was his fifteenth one and he was still waiting to feel buzzed. He started early and was making a night of it.At this rate he'd be fairly intoxicated within the hour, He had already opened a tab and was running it up. Others at the bar were wary yet friendly at the same time, an odd combination.
Abyss set at clean modern bar, it was new, and he expected it to be a Human dive. He wanted a human dive on the off chance that a group of Marines, or bikers, or some other group that was equally tough, territorial and fool hardy. But so far he had only encountered polite socialites that either avoided him or treated him like they would any other stranger. It was odd because he was not in a good mood and wore a particularly grumpy look on his face, thought things were lightening his mood, a bachelorette party came through and wove chaos through the place, and he was pretty sure that a couple of the girls were hitting on him, but he quite honestly hadn’t had enough to drink to deal with the wild that such a party invoked. And so he let them buy him a single drink, and they got him something pretty and girly. It looked like something Venus might drink, he nursed it until they left, and then went back to pounding shots the way Jupiter always did.
He was in a sour mood because in spite of learning his sister was still alive; he had no word of her, at all. He couldn’t figure out where the ambulance went…it was sickening. He pushed away his most recent shot and started again on the appletini with the bright green liquid and the sword threw a pair of cherries. He turned away from the bar and now that he was starting to feel it, the women folk were gone, and none so bold as to walk up to him and chat him up.
He certainly wasn’t about to try to pick anyone up. He didn’t want to end up ticked off at someone because they were a racist against someone, that could destroy them at a whim. Not tonight anyhow. He set on the stool with his elbows back on the bar. His drink in his left hand and his right unbuttoning his top button.

”Yes…I think I’ll have another.” Kealey said, staring at nothing in particular as the waiter came to her table yet again. Staring at the wall was better than trying to look at the people in the bar. Kealey didn’t need to look at them anyway, she could feel them. Even if they hadn’t really had the time for each other in recent weeks, Jacen’s presence had always been a calming oasis in Kealey’s life. He was gone now, though, and no note to tell her where this time.
Chocolatinis had replaced the moping and worrying that had occupied the first few days. This was her third. Kealey had only drank two the night she’d ended up out with El…Lori and she’d been tipsy. Chances were she was well on her way to being three sheets to the wind at this point, and she was asking for her fourth. It came faster than she’d thought it would, there was still liquid in the bottom of the current glass. The blond downed it.
Kealey licked her lips, they were starting to feel a little numb, as was her brain. The more she drank, and the more that the people around her drank, the more numb she felt. And that was way better than how she’d felt before.
Wincing at those thoughts, Kealey took a good swig of her new drink and frowned slightly as a trickle of aggression filtered through her numb psyche. How dare someone ruin her drunken mope. Kealey swung on the tall chair to scan the assembled and figure out who she owed a piece of her mind and nearly fell off the chair. Then her eyes fell on him.
”Oh!” she exclaimed, slipping from her chair and grabbing her chocotini with one hand. Kealey didn’t owe this person a piece of her mind. Over towards the large, red, man she stumbled, that numbed brain not even starting to guess that he wasn’t who she thought.
”What are you doing here?” she said, definitely not noticing the slight slur in her voice as a bright smile spread across her features, ”Aren’t swankier places than this more your style?” She plopped down on the bar stool next to his, ”I’m getting drunk.” she announced proudly and set down her glass on the bar. Maybe this wouldn’t be such a bad night after all, Venus was always good company.
“I.” was all he had a chance to say before her next sentence flowed out of the mouth of the blonde that apparently, liked what she saw. She smiled at him like, like , like he was something shiny. That mad since to his toxin drowned brain. How much had he drank? Enough was the answer that came to mind as he began to raise his glass to his mouth.
~~”Aren’t swankier places than this more your style?”
“I.” No, less human places were his kind of places, but this place wasn’t bad…the clientele in here, would make good servants, perhaps breeding partners…
The top button that he had been fidgeting with finally was simply pulled from his shirt. It didn’t matter he wanted it off. And it wasn’t like his shirt ripped, the thread simply gave way.
~~”I’m getting drunk.”
“Me too.” He finally managed to answer as he spun toward her on his stool. His tail wrapped around the stool below him to secure him and a hand went to her knee to steady himself.
“I think, I very well may already be there.” He paused for a moment as he took in her smile once more and his thoughts poured out of his mouth as if a damn had been released. “You, have a perfect smile, its” his mind floundered for the word gorgeous implied something a bit more unseemly, it would fit on her easily if she were up to no good or in lingerie perhaps, but her smile was a bit more innocent a bit more pure. A word that was thrown around all too easily finally finding a place that was fitting. “Beautiful.” He nodded agreeing with himself.
He tipped the toxic green concoction of appletini down his throat draining the last of it, “I want one of those he.” He said turning his head to the bartender that was staying kind of close. Abyss had already tipped well…several times.

It was a testament to just how much chocotini Kealey had imbibed that she didn’t even notice the way she’d steamrolled over some of the things Venus was saying. Normally she would have been falling all over herself to stop that, instead she just powered on, and he kept trying to get a word in edgewise. It was probably something to see from the outside.
A button flew off the top of Venus’ shirt and Kealey simply had to giggle at the way he’d just torn it off instead of undoing it. ”You know, with my skills…I can fix that.” the blond said, reaching out a slightly unsteady hand to poke the place the button had just flown from. The button would be easy to sew back on, in fact…Kealey thought she might have a sewing kit in her purse. She reached for it, then stopped still when Venus’ huge hand came down on her knee. Kealey’s eyes widened slowly, ”If I wasn’t wearing jeans…that would be completely improper…” she admonished, wagging a finger in the red man’s direction and looking meaningfully down at the hand on her leg.
She smiled again, though, when he pointed out that he was getting drunk as well, ”Well that’s good! I’ve heard it’s a sign of a bigger problem if a person drinks alone.” The Irish was really coming out in her voice now…it was too hard to tone it down with that much alcohol in her system, and Kealey really wasn’t all that interested in trying.
The smile…he commented on her smile. It wasn’t as lavish a compliment as Kealey was used to receiving from Venus, and she tilted her head at him, eyes narrowing slightly in her more and more drunk haze, trying to gage exactly what it was her big, red friend was feeling. Nothing. Kealey had found the solution to her problem now that Jacen was gone. The smile came back, brighter than ever.
”Thank you.” she said, then let her head drop a little as she took another deep drink….at this rate, the fourth chocotini was going to be quickly gone. Her friend ordered another drink and Kealey tilted her head, smile slowly disappearing again as she remembered why she was getting drunk in the first place.
”I got ditched.” she said finally, ”Why are you drunk?”
“You can fix it?” He paused following the pale arm up to his collar and then realization struck. “ I don’t know where the button went.”
~~”If I wasn’t wearing jeans…that would be completely improper…”
“If you weren’t wearing jeans, It might not be appropriate, but, if you weren’t wearing jeans, I might ask you what you were doing out, with no pants on in this weather. Or public…or.” He shut his mouth that last or did not need to be suggested to a lady, that thought a knee on the hand was. A hand on the knee. His eyes went back to her knee and his fingers squeezed a little above the knee. Yum.
~~ ”Well that’s good! I’ve heard it’s a sign of a bigger problem if a person drinks alone.”
“Lucky, we ran into each other than.” He said as he tipped back the whatever she was drinking.
~~”Thank you.”
“Thanks you.” His brain meant your welcome, but it didn’t sound bad.
~~”I got ditched.”
“Oh, someone is dumb, who ever stood you up.” his foggy brain clarified making sure she didn’t think he was talking about her.
~~”Why are you drunk?”
“because, I’ve been drinking.”….Blink. “Oh. My little sister is alive and lost, and I can’t find her, and I hate for her to be alone, she isn’t afraid I’m sure, but she needs her big brother. My family is a wreck.”

He didn’t know where the button went. Kealey frowned at that fact and bent to look around the floor for the absent button, she’d help her friend find his delinquent fastening. Over she leaned, and over and over…nearly right off the stool she was sitting on. Luckily, there was a lap very close to her, which she used to first catch herself, and second sit back up. ”Thank you.” she said with great dignity and sipped at her chocotini. ”What was I doing?”
That large hand hadn’t moved from her leg and Kealey looked down at it again as Venus poked fun at the fact that she’d be poorly dressed for the weather if she wasn’t wearing jeans. ”That is true…” Kealey said, wagging a finger in Venus’ direction, ready to admonish what was surely coming after the comment about public decency…it never came, ”I have to admit…I’m impressed…that wasn’t untoward at all.” she narrowed her eyes, concentrating on his feelings, ”You’re actually behaving yourself incredibly well.”
Their drunken conversation continued, each of them tipping back drinks and chatting, then Venus said that whoever stood her up was stupid. Who had stood her up? Oh. Jacen. He’d misunderstood.
”Not stood up…he just left. No note this time either…don’t know what I’ll do if Mars shows up this time…no note to give him.” she shook her head, wincing at all of that and draining the end of the most recent chocotini.
He answered her question about being drunk and Kealey nodded, opening her mouth to point out what Garrett had said, then shutting it again when she remembered her resolution not to get in the middle. It might have been a small miracle. Kealey didn’t know, and didn’t particularly care, and the bartender brought her another chocotini before she could even ask for one. That was nice of him.
Venus was sad, he said his family was a mess. If nothing else, that Kealey could relate to that. ”My sister died.” she said sadly, ”So did my mum and dad. My family is a mess too.”
“I think your hands may have been jealous of my hand on your knee and decided to grab my knees.” He went over the sentence in his head after saying it and decided it made sense or was at the very least making as much sense as it was going to.
.~~”That is true…”
~~”I have to admit…I’m impressed…that wasn’t untoward at all.””You’re actually behaving yourself incredibly well.”
Abyss grinned still oblivious to the misunderstanding that was swimming in the liquids that the skilled bartended seemed to divvy out. “ I am behaving as well as I ever do. And would never be untoward toward you.” Oh how his mind thought that was clever.
~~”Not stood up…he just left. No note this time either…don’t know what I’ll do if Mars shows up this time…no note to give him.”
“Mmmm, Mars is a push over, just put on an innocent doe eyed look and you’ll do just fine.” It should have occurred to him several times over that the last assumption that he knew why Jacen was significant and notes and just leaving. And more so that she was worried about Mars showing up. what an odd thing to say, worrying about Mars. But his foggy brain decided that if he could know mars she could too.
”My sister died.””So did my mum and dad. My family is a mess too.”
“I am still not convinced she isn’t dead…My parents died long ago…but not before betraying me….” His hand reached up to comfort the small soft pale shoulder. Even as she tipped back chocolate confusion. He reached for and received another drink it was brown and tasted like, oblivion.
“We have a lot in common.” He leaned forward unwittingly his tail the only thing that kept him from completely falling out of his seat. His forehead found hers and stayed there for a moment before gravity seemed to shift back to it natural position again.

Kealey looked down at her hands which were still firmly planted on the big, red man’s knees, then back up at his face. Whoops. Up she sat, a little quickly and was proud when she wove only slightly on the bar stool. ”Oh.” she said, looking down at her hands again. They were holding onto the front of the bar now. Much better.
Venus pointed out that he would never have been untoward to her, and she tilted her head slightly at him. He probably thought that was nothing but the full and complete truth. To him, everything that had happened was probably innocent…and thinking about not now…Kealey couldn’t disagree. Nothing had happened the night that she’d ended up staying in his room at the Sanctuary. In fact, he’d simply been another good Samaritan in the long line that had formed the night she’d been assaulted in the subway station. ”I know.” she said, brushing back a stray strand of hair that had planted itself into the middle of her face. ”That’s why we’re friends.”
Venus said that Mars was a pushover and Kealey rose an eyebrow with as much dignity as everything else she’d done so far in the night and actually let out a delicate little snort. ”He didn’t seem like a pushover when he was threatening me at Jacen’s apartment…I’m glad he was there though in the end…I didn’t know that Lori was Elle until then…and Lori didn’t know I was there with him…”
Kealey realized what she was saying and shut her mouth with an audible click of her teeth. Why was she talking about Jacen? He’d picked up and left…again…and this time he hadn’t even left a note. He didn’t answer his cell phone, and when Kealey had let herself into the apartment she’d simply found it laying on the coffee table in the living room. Clothes were gone…and some luggage…but he’d just left. Kealey looked into her drink again and finished it. ”It doesn’t matter…he’s gone.” she said, mostly to herself, then looked back to Venus as he started talking about his sister.
”I’m living at the apartment Garrett and Sebastian own.” she said, smiling, ”I’m so glad he saved my life, he said your sister is alive too.” all this rambling made perfect sense, at least at the moment. Venus pointed out that his parents had died a long time ago, that they’d betrayed him. Kealey shook her head ”Mine got blown up. They never even knew what I was.”
Venus was leaning forward, and for a moment Kealey thought he was going to take both of them right off their stools, he stopped though, and his forehead touched hers. It felt nice to have someone this close and she nearly reached out to cling to the large body so close to hers, but he moved away and she simply watched as he righted himself on the stool, nodding at his comment.
”I’m getting to the point where I’m not shocked anymore by how much people have in common with one another.” she said, picking up her drink, surprised to find that it was full. Hadn’t it just been empty a moment ago? No matter, she took a drink and looked around the bar, ”Lori was right about one thing though…” she said, completely oblivious to the slur in her voice or the thickening of her accent, ”I can’t feel anything when I drink this.”
~~”Oh.” She spoke with a soft glance at where her hands, were. She was deliciously innocent. She fled to the bar and seemed to be relieved, it was so cute. She was too vulnerable…they both were he supposed. His eyes caught hers again as she tipped a drink back…where was all this liquid coming from, if he was sober enough to think it through he would wonder if there was someone out to get them. He leaned on the bar himself. It was nice and solid.
~~”I know.””That’s why we’re friends.”
Upgrade! From stranger to friend, very nice ole boy, very nice. Apparently he simply needed to take the edge off and throw sensibility three sheets to the wind and he was a Casanova…
~~”He didn’t seem like a pushover when he was threatening me at Jacen’s apartment…I’m glad he was there though in the end…I didn’t know that Lori was Elle until then…and Lori didn’t know I was there with him…”
“ Sounds like Jacen is trouble. And we both know Lori Certainly is trouble, not that she means to be, but it is her nature, I think.” To be perfectly honest he didn’t think about it too much, everyone he knew was trouble, and that’s the way they liked it.
~~”It doesn’t matter…he’s gone.”
“You just got to find the silver lining.” The silver lining was red in this case and was becoming very interested.
~~”I’m living at the apartment Garrett and Sebastian own.” ”I’m so glad he saved my life, he said your sister is alive too.”
Oh! Now the little psychic pressed a button, She knew too many people he knew, and knew that he knew them…she had to be a psychic. “Watch your back with those two, they seem like two of the most trustworthy guys out there, but keep a eye on em, they have no qualms with abandoning loyalty. I am glad that he saved your life, but if he didn’t kill Syn, he certainly tried, He got his though and managed to stay alive.” Because he left it to fate. Because he was sick of hurting his own kind. Garret was worth keeping in the gene pool, though if he drowned…he wouldn’t cry over him. “But I have no business with him until I know exactly what happened for sure. I think Pluto is staying there.”
~~”Mine got blown up. They never even knew what I was.”
“They knew you were their daughter, I trust? The “what” isn’t important in that case. At least it certainly shouldn’t have been.”
~~”I’m getting to the point where I’m not shocked anymore by how much people have in common with one another.”, ”Lori was right about one thing though…””I can’t feel anything when I drink this.”
“I’m about at that point too.” The bartender was mixing more drinks. He looked to Kealey considering speaking for both of them and then declined the notion “Uh, I think I am done drinking while I still have a hope of keeping my balance. How about you? “ a thick finger went up to his temple. “ if you still want to drink, I’d be happy to stay and make sure no one takes advantage of you. We could share a cab.”

”Trouble? Oh no…” Kealey said, shaking her head slowly from side to side and wincing a little bit when the entire building seemed to move with the motions of her head. ”It was quiet around him…so quiet.” she said, face falling slightly as her eyes swung to look at who she thought was Venus. ”I never knew myself…do you know what it’s like? Feeling all those things, all the time…whether you want to or not?” Kealey squinted her eyes, concentrating very hard on Venus as he sat next to her at the bar. Bad example. She swung to stare at the bartender.
”He’s feeling lucky…and pleased….and really, really amused right now…and now, because I’m thinking about it…I do too.” Kealey raised her hands to the sides of her head and squeezed a little bit, ”It was so nice…just to know it was me.” she let her hands drop. Her lips were numb and she sighed. ”I’m sorry…you don’t want to listen to me wallowing in self pity.”
He said that Lori was trouble and Kealey had to smile a little bit, ”I liked her. A lot actually…she’s the one who taught me how to drink these.” The chocotini was a delightful discovery, thanks to Lori. ”I’m not so sure she’d be glad to see me, though.”
Silver lining. Kealey tilted her head when Venus pointed out that she needed to find one. After milling over this statement for a few moments, a bight smile spread across the blonde’s face. ”You know what…you’re right! A silver lining. What kind of silver lining, though. That’s the difficult part. I did pass first term with top marks!” she explained with another grin.
The grin faded slightly when Venus pointed out that she needed to watch her back with Sebastian and Garrett, something about loyalties. ”I’ll keep that in mind.” she said, then leaned forward, cupping a hand conspiratorially on the side of her face and leaning forward. ”But I have a built in lie detector.” she whispered, tapping the side of her head with a finger from her other hand. She leaned back and sipped her drink.
Venus pointed out that maybe they should be done drinking. Kealey tilted her head again, looking at her drink and trying to puzzle out just how many she had drank already. Her lips were still numb and the rest of her body was quickly catching up, she nodded her head, ”That’s probably a good idea…stopping.”
Venus offered to stay and keep an eye on her, to make sure nobody took advantage, and Kealey looked around the bar with slightly new eyes. There were a lot of men there, and some of them were looking at her…but surely…
”If you think it would be a good idea.” she said to the suggestion of the cab, ”Though, I don’t think anyone here would be willing to take on the train wreck you see sitting before you…even if it is to take advantage.”
“Hmmmm.” Was the noncommittal skeptical sound that buzzed from his throat .
~~”It was quiet around him…so quiet.”
~~”I never knew myself…do you know what it’s like? Feeling all those things, all the time…whether you want to or not?”
He listend and at first was tempted to tell the woman to embrace her mutation, whole heartedly as the gift it was.
~~”He’s feeling lucky…and pleased….and really, really amused right now…and now, because I’m thinking about it…I do too.” ”It was so nice…just to know it was me.””I’m sorry…you don’t want to listen to me wallowing in self pity.”
He glanced at the barkeep and raised an eyebrow, perhaps he should say something to the man.but no he didn’t want to start trouble at the risk of more conversation with the pretty Irish gal.
“I can relate to a point, when I shared my brain with my brothers for years on end, it nearly drove me insane, and finally with the ability to kick them from my mind, it is a blessing and a curse, there are times when I miss their consul and company. If liquor can make you capable of blocking out the strangers, then you should be able to train and learn to put up walls of your own…For the record, It is nice not to listen to my own pity for a change.”
~~ ”I liked her. A lot actually…she’s the one who taught me how to drink these.”
“Oh?”
~~”I’m not so sure she’d be glad to see me, though.”
“she’d be a fool not to be.” who wouldn’t want this kind and dangerous woman around. Physics, scared the hell out of Abyss. he could have all the strength in the world and not have a chance to defend himself.
”You know what…you’re right! A silver lining. What kind of silver lining, though. That’s the difficult part. I did pass first term with top marks!”
“Well done! And you have a new place, new friends.” He was including himself, but she might think he was talking about the others in the apartment.
~~”I’ll keep that in mind.””But I have a built in lie detector.”
“ah, so true.” Something every man should know about a woman that he may try to take home, don’t lie to someone with a lie detector in their brain. Explaining order affairs to her would be difficult, perhaps he just wouldn’t talk about them if they went somewhere….wow, he just met her and he was planning stratergy for keeping her safely unsullied by the corruption of his organization.
~~”That’s probably a good idea…stopping.”
He nodded with her and smirked as the world seemed to resist the nodding and his head felt a bit heavy.
~~”If you think it would be a good idea.”
~~“I do think it is a good Idea. ”Though, I don’t think anyone here would be willing to take on the train wreck you see sitting before you…even if it is to take advantage.”
“You might have a lie detector, but I can read the vultures faces and there isn’t a man here that is interested in you in some way or another, furthermore If you dear, are a train wreck then destruction is a beautiful thing.” Was that last part a line? That was a line…he was a capable of making crappy lines while drunk….good job.
“So do we stay and try to sober up a bit or do we venture forth into the city and try to get a cab while absolutely smashed?”

Kealey nodded a little blearily. Yes, he had brothers. She had met one of those brothers. Mars. Mars was mean, Mars had threatened to hurt Kealey…yeah….they’d been over that. Kealey shook her head, trying to clear the webs that were continually working their way in. ”My voices never do anything to help. Just make me know everything people are feeling…and trust me…I’ve got plenty of pity for you.”
She nodded when he oh’d about her acquaintance with Lori, ”You know this story…then I stole her man. Or she thinks I did…” the wagging finger was back in force ”She cheated on him, though.” .
Kealey drifted off a little bit after she called herself a human lie detector. The room was spinning slightly now and suddenly all the liquor she’d had seemed like an awful idea. Concentration was fleeting, Kealey had finally accomplished what she wanted. It was nearly as good as being around Jacen. Now, if the room would just hold still.
She tuned back into current events just as Venus complimented her again. Apparently she was being vultured on, and she was a beautiful thing. She turned a beatific smile on her large red friend, then tumbled from the bar stool to hug him. ”Thank you.”
Even when she shut her eyes the room kept spinning, ”I need to go home.” she muttered into the shirt front she found her head against. How had that happened again?
~~”My voices never do anything to help. Just make me know everything people are feeling…and trust me…I’ve got plenty of pity for you.”
“ Well, if we can get that under control, then it could be a very useful tool, I can see where there being no off switch would present the world as rather needy.”
~~”You know this story…then I stole her man. Or she thinks I did…””She cheated on him, though.” .
“She is a bit wild, I don’t know if she settles down for anyone. Her and Mars are a good match I think.He doesn't seem to mind if she is promiscuous, so long as she comes back to him regularly.”
~~”Thank you.” ”I need to go home.”
The little blonde tried to put her arms around him, it was cute. As she wobbled and closed her eyes leaning on him, he scooped her up with out pause. Her breath felt nice threw the cloth of his shirt. He might have been a bit more wobbly if he didn’t have his tail to counter act most of the teetering. He slid his card to the bartended and signaled that he would pick up both of their tabs with his free hand. A signature and a scribbled tip later , he headed out to get them a cab. Abyss tended to get a cab a little bit different than the typical new Yorker. After experiencing the prejudice of most reluctant cabbies to pic him up, he realized that it was easy to physically, get a cab. He waited til one was in the closest lane and wave with a friendly smile on his face as he got in the lane. The yellow cab braked and he walked around to settle Kq in the vehicle and entered. “Where am I taking you Kealey?” he whispered as he reached over and helped buckle her up.

”You have no idea.” Kealey said when Venus pointed out what it was probably like to have powers without an off switch. She studied him closely, ”You can’t turn yours off either, though.”
She had been spinning, now she was floating and spinning. It was a welcome change because at least her legs didn’t have to try and deal with that whole standing thing. Maybe she was still spinning, but floating and spinning was okay.
Kealey didn’t know that she was getting her drinks paid for, she just knew she was suddenly snuggled against something large and warm and she snuggled in. This was a fine position she’d gotten herself into, she’d definitely need to thoroughly admonish herself once she was sober. If Venus hadn’t been in this bar on this particular night, who knew what might have happened.
They were moving now, and the swaying along with the spinning was mildly uncomfortable to the blond. At some point, they went outside, and the fresh air felt good. Then, they were in a vehicle and someone was working on putting a seatbelt on her. Oh, it was Venus, and he wanted to know where he was taking her.
”Home…” she said with a slightly bleary smile in his direction, then laughed when he pointed out that he needed an address. The cab seat was so comfy, and he’d so nicely made sure her seat belt was on. Kealey leaned her head back and watched the ceiling of the cab spin until her eyes slipped shut. 4...3...2...1...knockout.
~~”You have no idea.” ”You can’t turn yours off either, though.”
“ I can leave the room if my brothers come in, and as far as being strong, I just remain gentle and I can stem it, for the most part.” How many door knobs had he ripped off the door, or doors from hinges for that matter?
Abyss frowned a little, Home it was, but not hers. Oh well. "To the sanctuary my good man." the cabbie looked back through the mirror. was he feigning he didn't know what he was talking about? he must be knew in town. " the golden doors in the bronx." Abyss explored how new.
The man gulped down some air and didn't make eye contact the rest of the ride. He had a steady sweat going and Abyss couldn't help but wonder how many of the residents put the fear in cabbies on the way home. It was kind of funny. The car ride was short and when it was done the cabbie was in such a hurry to leave that he didn't take the pay he had earned or the tip he was going to give him for not wetting himself.
He walked in through the golden doors, he smiled and winked at Lisa, all she could see was a blond crooked in his arm. Lisa smiled back but remained carefully nonjudgmental. Abyss went to the elevator down the hall and to his room. He settled Kealey into his bed removing only her shoes and putting her purse on the night stand. He then took a few minutes to get ready for bed. He got in and covered them both up and with out another drunken thought about it, he went to sleep.
