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.

The ride back home certainly lasted longer than ever, or so did thought the molecule manipulator as the motorcycle moved smoothly, passing by every other vehicle encountered. It hadn’t been her intention to go so fast, but with Sam being so close to her she was far from aware of her actions. Strange how she seemed to forget just how the proximity between the two of them seemed to affect her every time it happened, how it always felt like the first touch.
Alexandra fought with herself to keep going, to dismiss the urge to pull over, instead, she continued to take deep breaths and pay as much attention to the road as possible. This wasn’t healthy for herself, she always thought, the way she became so weak in his presence was so different from the way how the old self would have been acted. Was this good for her? She did not know but something inside of her, stronger than rational thought urged her to take her chances and find out.
When the gates passed them by was the moment when she was pulled out of her thoughts and concerns. Alexandra slowed down to a stop, hoping to make it as smooth as possible. She felt the squeeze on her waist before Sam let her go. She almost wanted to tell him to be careful but was just a second too late. Sam was already on the ground and also laughing. Good, that meant there weren’t any injuries. Although she half expected to have a hell of a lot of bruises in the morning after the amount of falls he’d experienced.
It surprised her when after falling he was concerned about her well being rather than his. Alexandra smiled before removing her helmet. When that was gone, she turned her head back to him, a hand combing trough her hair for a few moments. “Sam, it’s nothing to worry about, really.” She reassured him as she got off her bike. Blue eyes scanned Sam’s figure once again, just to be sure there were no injuries that the alcohol perhaps could have numbed out then met with his own. “Let’s worry about things tomorrow, okay? Now, come on, let me take you to your room.” Alexandra added, as she gave a quick glance to the mansion door.

Nodding his head slowly as he took a few steps forward he smiled and said, ”Make sure you don't tell Doc where you got it, he isn’t the biggest fan of the danger room.” as he said this he lost his balance and managed to trip and catch himself by throwing an arm around Alex, ”Really glad you came out tonight, you have fun?” Sam asked as he kept his arm around her shoulders as he used her as a crutch. From the way Sam was talking he was making it seem like they were out all night however he didn’t bother correcting himself after he made the mistake.
As they entered the mansion the hallways were lit up but poorly seeing as it was late and a few kids were sleeping. ”We gotta be super quite…” Sam said drunkenly as his voice was far to loud to be a whisper. As they approached the stairs and went up it Sam managed to get the top before losing his balance.
He stumbled forward as he spotted a student of his from his morning class. ”Calvin!” Sam greeted him with a wave and a stumble, ”Hows my favorite Bear shifter?” Sam asked as he patted the young mutant on the face as the young shifter started at the pair with a slackened jaw, ”He alright?” the student asked curiously as he made a motion to help but then reluctantly backed up as Sam responded, ”Pffttt, I’m fine, wha-wha-what’re you doing out at this late anyways?” Sam slurred as he nodded to Alex ”I’m good kiddio!” Sam said as they kept walking along as he turned his head back to the bear shifter and said, ”SHHHHHH!”
He looked to Alex and said, ”He was being too loud kids are sleeping!” Pulling his keys from his pocket Sam tried pushing his key into his door and had the wrong key. ”It’s broken…” Sam said as he looked up to Alex with the key in hand. What he was actually holding was his car key not his room key. ”Guess we are locked out….” said Sam with a sad look on his face.
Giving a small nod at Sam’s advice about not telling the doc where she got the wound, although she was pretty familiar with the doc’s attitude on danger room injuries, Alexandra moved quickly as Sam took a few steps forwards, ready to support him if it were necessary. An idea than only moments later proved to be very inspired, when without being a surprise for the molecule manipulator, Sam stumbled and only her presence near him saved him from another falling. Placing her own arm around his waist for more support she nudged him to move on, hoping that the students were already asleep or none would feel the urge to get up in the middle of the night to have a snack or a glass of water.
The stairs were perhaps the hardest part of this journey and as soon they were on the first floor were both of their bedrooms were located, Alexandra was just preparing to breath relieved. Only a few more steps and Sam would be in his room where, hopefully, he would be easier to take care of. At least she guessed that he couldn’t fall from the bed, too.
Just as the molecule manipulator was preparing to relax, Sam’s voice broke the so much needed silence, telling her that they needed to be quiet. A good advice, indeed, too bad that he wasn’t following either. Alexandra didn’t had the chance to warn him that his voice was far from a whisper when, to her horror, a student appeared. Although Alexandra wasn’t familiar with him, Sam seemed to know him, and quickly proceeded with the greetings, of course made in the same loud voice, inappropriate for the late hour. Oh, and with a pat on his face, which left Alexandra with no immediate answer to Calvin’s question about his teacher well being.
A number of various lies crossed her mind, but, unfortunately, none was good enough to conceal the true nature of Sam’s condition. Alexandra gave a quick glance to Sam before looking at the young bear shifter. “He’s fine.” she replied, hoping that the student would be satisfied with the answer. Her eyes trailed back to Sam, just as he was shhh-ing the kid. Blinking nervously, she looked back at Calvin. “Yeah, he’s fine. You can go back to sleep now.” she added, dismissing the student with a simple look, which turned to be very effective, and soon they were left alone in front of Sam’s door.
Alexandra hoped that Calvin would keep his mouth shut, although it was highly unlikely, or Sam would soon have to deal with rumors. Sure, he was old enough, but he was also a teacher and she wasn’t sure how that would affect him. Pushing the thoughts away, she proceeded with watching Sam in his poor attempt to open the door… with the car key… which looked slightly different than a normal room key. Blue eyes traveled to the other key dangling unnoticed by its owner and smiled. “Why don’t you let me?”
Snatching the keys from his hand, Alexandra moved fast, before any more students felt the urge to come out, and in a few seconds she was rotating the door knob. The door opened as it was pushed by the molecule manipulator’s fragile hand while her eyes turned back to Sam and gave him a little wink. Two pair of eyes inside the room reflected the light of the hallway, and soon their possessors came into view. Cammie let a small meow out before jumping from the bed, while Bruno was much more silent and only his footsteps were heard as he came to greet his master. Alexandra bent her body to greet the two, petting them for a few moments, first Cammie then Bruno, the later now starting to nudge his master’s leg lightly in order to have his attention.
Alexandra assumed her previous position, this time picking Cammie up and petting her, then gave the hallway a quick glance before gesturing Sam to go inside.

The Keys practically jumped from his hand as Alex took a hold of them and somehow magically opened the door to his room; did she use her mutation to make the key fit? A question he guessed would be better off asked at a later time one where he could actually verbalize his thoughts correctly. As the door opened the hallway light reflected itself from a pair of eyes from inside his room. One was located on his bed while the lower one was located right next to his bed. Cammie and Bruno most likely if not it was the makings of a nice horror film in his opinion.
As Cammie let out a meow and Bruno followed up with silent footsteps Sam grinned and greeted the greeters with pats on the top of the head before he got up and turned on his bedroom light. A few shirts and pants littered the bedroom floor due to his busy schedule but other than that the room was relatively clean. He walked over to his dresser and pulled out his phone and turned it off his new background making him laugh slightly as he said, ”Silly Ghost” pulling the keys he received from Alex moments ago he set them on the dresser with a jingle and a jangle as he removed the rest of the contents from his pants.
”Come in!” said Sam his voice still somewhat loud as Alex looked in the hallway before picking up Cammie and carrying her in. Sam could hear a loud purring sound as Cammie rubbed her head against Alex to show her affection before letting out a small meow. Bruno now clearly past his bedtime let out a loud yawn and walked to Sam’s side of the bed and plopped down cuddled in the smallest ball possible. Looking to Alex and smiling Sam said, ”Have a seat…” he from there wandered into his abnormally large bathroom.
It was a minute later and after a flush could be heard and a sound of running water Sam came out of the bathroom smiling, ”Sorry about tonight…” said Sam as he sat on the bed, ”I wanted to spend more time with you bu...” Sam didn’t get to finish his thoughts as he was interrupted with a hiccup. His expression changing from a sad one to a more joyous one Sam started to laugh as he leaned back on his bed pulling Alex by the hand with him.
Once he was laying back on the bed he continued laughing as he held Alex’s hand tightly, ”Even if you didn’t have a good time I’m really glad you came tonight…” said Sam through closed eyes. He wasn’t tired, or drifting off to sleep he was simply enjoying this feeling being in a comfortable spot in a safe place with someone he cared about then he remembered he had something he wanted to talk to her about.
Not waiting long after being invited in his room, Alexandra walked in, her eyes focused on Sam ignoring the surroundings, while her hand continued to stroke Cammie, the small feline purring in return. Alexandra glanced at the pet for a moment, giving her a smile as she rubbed her head against her chest with affection.
In a few seconds she was standing next to Sam’s bed, but chose not to take a seat even when Sam told her to do so and continued to pet Cammie. Only when Sam disappeared into the bathroom she took a seat and placed Cammie next to Bruno giving her a final stroke before placing her hands on her lap while waiting for Sam to come back.
Her eyes stayed on him as he came back, much more soberly looking and smiling, following his figure until he sat on the bed next to her and listen to his words… until they were cut short by a hiccup. Laughter left her lips, and didn’t die out, not even when she let herself to be pulled down to lay next to him.
His hand found hers and tightened around it. The gesture made Alexandra turn her head to face Sam as he spoke although he had his eyes closed. A hand went up to stroke his cheek as she took a deep breath before replying. “Sam…” She paused for another second as one finger trailed from his cheek to the corner of his lip. “You always bring a smile upon my lips. Sober or not.” Her finger brushed his lips lightly before tracing an imaginary line on his chin and the side his neck, only to be quietly placed on the bed. Azure eyes followed the imaginary line back to his cheek then suddenly stopped on his own eyes. "So please, stop saying that I didn't enjoy spending time with you."

It was weird state of mind he was in, his new love interest laying next to him and all he could think about how ironic it was that her finger caused a chill on his face. Goosebumps stood out on his skin as he gazed deep into her blue irises, a blue that he often compared to the ice that he could bend to his will her eyes however, were fierce and wild hypnotizing to say the least. ”Good…” Sam said as he moved in closer to Alex his hand still intertwined with hers. ”Just a little upset the night was so short.” he rested his head against hers as he moved his leaned his chin up so his lips would press against hers.
A question forming on the tip of his tongue reluctant to rear it’s ugly head but seeing as he had some liquid courage before seeing her he leaned his forehead against hers and asked, ”So…. I have a question… been thinking about it for a while and…not really sure how to phrase this… but….” Sam paused and tightened his grip around her head as he turned his head slightly and looked to his ceiling as the sounds of a cat putting behind them on top of a snoring dog could be heard.
His thoughts trailed off before he continued on his thought process, ”The question I have been wanting to ask you pertains to you and me, well us to be exact….” he didn’t know why he was thinking about this so intently maybe it was because Alex was a mystery to him, maybe because she was unlike most girls, most girls would have snapped his neck if they saw him with two girls and drunk heading off to some apartment somewhere, yet she didn’t a fact that scared Sam slightly, ”What are we?” he finished his thoughts as he turned his head in her direction his forehead resting on hers as his eyes peered deep into hers.
Sam’s body shifting next to hers refreshed the butterflies in the stomach sensation as more blood rushed to her head. This time, Alexandra closed her eyes for a few moments, in an attempt to push this sensation away, half embarrassed that she always seemed to have red cheeks whenever Sam was around. An inaudible sigh left her lips as she reopened her blue eyes, trying to match Sam’s stare while listening to his words. She winced as he pressed his lips against hers, as the half-punch she had received earlier in the Danger Room started to ache. Despite this, she made an attempt to hide this, not wanting Sam to worry about her well being once again.
Alexandra had this vague impression like he was trying to say something with her, an impression she was careful enough not to let wander for too long into her head for, even if did not admitted, she was concerned. What thought could cause Sam so much trouble in verbalizing it?
The tension building up inside her was soon cut off when Sam finally admitted that he had something to tell her. Alexandra narrowed her eyes slightly with curiosity and continued to keep them focused on Sam even when he turned his head away, in an attempt to read something off his face, something that could tip her off on what he wanted to tell her.
His short speech ended with even a shorter question. ‘What are we?’ Confusion was the first thing that appeared into her mind as the question kind of caught her off-guard. She blinked, while her eyes drifted away from Sam to the window, as if she was trying to read the answer in the stars that adorned the night sky. After several moment of silence, she turned her eyes back to Sam. “I…don’t know.” she said with honesty. Her body was pushed up as she assumed a sitting position. “Sam.” her head and half of her body turned to face Sam as she placed her hands in her lap, playing with her index finger with a certain touch of nervousness. “I’m so new to all these things.” she continued with a small shrug.
Alexandra sighed, as her head turned again to face the window. “Sometimes I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do, or what to say when I’m around you. Like when I disappeared after your birthday. I didn’t know if it was right or wrong to tell you.” Alexandra shrugged again as her lips attempted to create a smile without too much of a success. “So I don’t know what we are.” Piercing blue eyes turned back to Sam. “I somehow hoped that one of these days you’ll tell me.”

She flinched when he kissed her, was it something he said or had done? Maybe she wasn’t that in to him… No that couldn’t be it she did after all come to him around midnight to hang out, right? You don’t do that to someone you didn’t like, maybe it was something else. Whatever it was he would ask her about it later, it was clear that she was hard at thought with his most recent question.
Sam watched her as her gaze turned to the window and she sat up, her hands in her lap and no longer intertwined with his or tracing his face. He didn’t pressure her for an answer in fact he turned his head to look up at her as the moonlight from his large balcony window lit up her angelic features. Her lips started to move as Sam’s ears had to play catch up with his eyes as she spoke. She made it clear before she wasn’t that used to the dating scene but still she could have picked up on it with instinct or better yet soap operas that was what girls watched right?
He nodded his head slowly when she mentioned her disappearing after his birthday that was something he didn’t like, at all. She should have told or at least he felt she should have told him where she was, anything would have been fine he was worried she was going to disappear like Leila did, leaving him alone like he was before. He didn’t like that idea one bit he hated being alone.
”Be yourself, that's the reason I like you, its for who you are not what I think you should be.” Sam placed his hand on Alex’s lap forcing Sam to inch down the bed a bit so he could place it. ”Though if you care about someone it is good not to make them worry by disappearing.” sitting up now inches from Alex he raised both of his hands and placed them on her face as he turned her head to face his. Once their eyes were locked Sam pressed his lips against hers for a moment as he kissed her again.
Hoping she wouldn’t flinch this time Sam pulled away from her, ”Not an exact answer but to be specific I care about you a lot, and if its alright with you I’d like to start calling you my girlfriend.” Sam blinked and was slightly surprised with what he just said he never before brought up the titles in fact he often shied away from them just because it made girls clingy, but was that what he wanted for Alex to be clingy? Or did he just want her all to himself? He didn’t know but he meant what he said he wanted more of a relationship but the question was did she feel the same?
Alexandra nodded in agreement as Sam practically confessed that he was worried after she had disappeared from the Mansion. The discussion in the Danger Room, before and after their supposed training session had done so little with clearing things out between the two of them. Although she wanted to tell him why exactly she had left and specifically why she hadn’t shared the fact that she would be disappearing for a while, she chose to stay silent. Too much emotions were spinning around in her head, making her confused and the sudden wish to open up to Sam more than she already did kind of scared her.
His new kiss once again caused her to flinch, and teeth were gritted together as her lip throbbed with pain. Alexandra forced her face to relax, and pulled the corners of her lips up for a smile, again hoping that Sam hadn’t noticed anything. Worse than having Sam worried about her being hurt was to have Sam misunderstanding her reaction.
Of course, Alexandra didn’t quite have the time to worry too much on how Sam would take her flinch, her mind being quickly preoccupied with something else. Girlfriend? Alexandra blinked a few times rapidly, before her eyes trailed to Sam’s hand, resting in hers. Her thumb moved, drawing an imaginary circle on his skin, while she seemed lost in her thoughts.
This new title meant much… it meant commitment and she wasn’t sure if that was the safest thing to do. While her heart was racing, excited, her mind was painfully drowning the excitement with a wave of sorrow as she remembered one thing. She was here on a mission. The only reason Alexandra Kettler was in the mansion, even the reason for meeting Sam in the first place was her job. A Kabal spy, she was, and if that got out, both of them would end up hurt.
Dating was one thing; it would have been easier for both of them to recover if their relationship was not starting to get serious while the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship meant so much more. At least in her opinion. She mentally sighed at this struggle, it was hard to decide and she had little time to do it. She should have known that things were going into this direction and she couldn’t understand why exactly she had deceived herself with thinking that she could walk away at any moment without any regrets… or pain as a matter of fact.
Blue eyes trailed back to Sam, while her mouth continued to stay shut. A look into his icy blue eyes as she realized she didn’t want to walk away from him. That she wanted to take her chances, even if in the end she could end up hurt, while hurting Sam too. Selfish, yes, but a little voice told her that perhaps there were second chances, even for someone like herself.
Then another concern was brought up by her way too rational mind. It reminded her just how much alcohol Sam had in his system and made her wonder if he would have the same opinion the next day. This concern, however, she couldn’t dismiss and although she had the answer to his question, she didn’t rush to give it to him.
Alexandra smiled. A genuine smile, followed by her hand, caressing Sam’s cheek once again before placing it on top of his. “Sam… my answer would be yes, now or later.” she replied, trying to keep her voice as even as possible, careful not to offend Sam with what she had to say. “But I’m not sure whether we should have this conversation right now. I don’t want you to think tomorrow that you were rushed in your actions.” She continued to smile, without mentioning just how afraid she was, that letting Sam decide the next day would make him back down. But warning him was the right thing to do, and although Alexandra wasn’t a fan of good and right, dragging Sam into a relationship while drunk wasn’t fair to either of them.

Waiting hopefully Sam expected a fast response, yes or no would have been fine right off the bat but the anticipation was killing him. Her hand went from his hand to his face as the familiar Goosebumps covered his entire body, her hand still managing to be cool to the touch yet at the same time so warm Sam’s face turned into a smile. Her hand went back to his and he had an answer she had said yes! Sam had found himself back in a relationship after he awkwardly asked Alex what were they.
”But I’m not drunk!” Sam lied as he tried to jump to his feet to prove his point however gravity and his feet had other plans in mind as soon as he stood up he fell backwards his feet kicking themselves from under him as he found himself lying on his back side on his bed looking up at the ceiling. ”Maybe a little but I think, no I know I want this, less truthful when your sober right?” Sam asked curiously as he threw his hands behind him so they hit the rest of the bed behind him.
Letting out a bear sized yawn Sam looked over to his clock as it read it was now an hour from when they had met. He looked back to Alex and smiled as he leaned up and wrapped an arm around the sitting Alex and pulled her back careful not to accidentally hit her leg. ”You want to sleep with me tonight?” Sam asked blatantly as he kissed the top of Alex’s head as his legs laid sprawled out in his bed. He didn't really think about they way he phrased it in fact he didn’t really think about it at all. He simply said what he was thinking.
It was late and he was tired but that didn’t mean the night had to be over. He didn’t know what Alex’s initial response would be but his arms slackened around Alex as he wiggled his way up his bed which as of now wasn’t that far to begin with. His bed was more than big enough to support two people; he did after all have all four dogs and Cammie sleep with him when they were growing up.
Alexandra laughed for a moment as Sam tried to show her just how not drunk he was but ended up falling on the bed. The laugh morphed into a smile as she tilted the head to her side, watching him. “If you’re sure you want to make this decision right now… then you have my answer Sam.” she replied.
Watching Sam yawn remembered her just how tired she was while her eyes glanced around the room in the search of a watch. When she found it, the red digits told her it was almost 1 am. Late, and she still had to wake up in the morning for her training and then her job with the doc. She suppressed a yawn, deciding to tell Sam that she should go to her room, let him sleep and let herself sleep too when Sam wrapped his arm around her, then pulled her back with him.
She let herself fall without the slightest hint of disagreement, her eyes closing when-
”You want to sleep with me tonight?”
Blue eyes snapped open, just as Sam was kissing the top of her head affectionately. It took Alexandra a few moments to realize what exactly Sam was trying to ask from her. Strange how sometimes words were so tricky, especially the ‘sleeping with’ thing. Alexandra laughed nervously, although she knew that Sam was a perfect gentleman and wouldn’t ask something like this so bluntly. “English is so tricky sometimes.” she replied to justify her nervous laughing while trying to push the embarrassment away and to fight off the heat that was burning her cheeks.
“But yeah, I’ll sleep here.” Alexandra answered, not exactly sure why she agreed to this. Perhaps the feeling of comfort and safety she felt in his arms was to be put to blame? And the tiredness of always having to watch your back? With Sam she actually felt like she could just relax. “Just so you know, I’m an awful person in the morning.” she added, smirking. So he wouldn’t say later that she didn’t warn him. “Oh, and with the condition of letting me borrow some clothes from you… and the bathroom for a shower.” She glanced over at her body still covered in the black uniform, stopping for a moment at the bloody mess that surrounded her wound. Yeah, she definitely needed a shower.

Trying to play off the excited look on his face to her initial answer Sam’s hand gently ran up and down Alex’s arm in attempt to keep the contact of the position they were in, he laying on his back and she at his side. She had agreed to spend the night, which was good, Sam always managed to sleep better at night when there was someone else in his bed.
Lately Cammie had been taking the pillow next to his seeing it was far more comfortable than anywhere else in his room, but she wouldn’t be sleeping there tonight. Sure it would annoy the tabby a bit but it would make Sam far happier, which of course meant far more attention from him.
Out of the corner of his eye he spotted Cammie poking her head over the side of the bed from atop of the now snoring Bruno. Catching her gaze she let out a small purring sound as she slowly climbed onto the bed and made her way to the top of the bed where the pillows were.
Ignoring the cat that thought she was being sneaky Sam leaned up and spoke to Alex in agreement about her conditions for spending the night. ”Sounds fair enough…” no longer holding her in a hugging embrace Sam was now up and stumbling once again around his room this time he was heading to his dresser where he kept all of his lay about clothes and of course his pajamas. The top drawer was often the place Leila had found herself a change of clothes and it might have been the location of a change for Lee when Tarin was in Doc’s care.
Pulling out some plaid pajama shorts and a shirt Sam tried to picture her in the clothes he picked out for her, laughing slightly as he held the shirt up and reading it slightly he smiled and said, ”Hope you like Kiss…” carrying the change of clothes into the bathroom Sam set them off to the side on a table like stand near his large walk in shower and set them down as he walked into a closet and pulled out a large towel and set it on a hook above the clothes he had set down.
”Your all set, there is soap and shampoo in there, if you need anything let me know…” as he staggered out of his large bathroom Sam walked over to his bed and collapsed. Looking over to Cammie who was looking right at him he looked under her and spotted his pillow, ”You don’t belong there…”
Smiling back to Sam as he held the pajamas, Alexandra gave a small nod, and while not worrying about the t-shirt, she wondered if the pajama pants would fit her or they’d fall off her small frame. Before she could decide it, Sam had already disappeared in the bathroom and only then she pushed herself off the bed lazily.
Alexandra stretched her back muscles slightly just as Sam’s figure came out of the bathroom and collapsed in the bed. “Cammie will be mad at you.” she said, blue eyes looking amused as she watched Sam. Unzipping her leather jacket, she decided to turn her head in a different direction. How was it that every time she was near Sam she felt… almost naked, no matter just how many clothes she wore. For a moment she wondered if the pool accident was to be put to blame when she imagined that Sam could actually see right trough her clothes.
Taking it off, she looked around for a place where to put it and without much thought she placed it on the bed. Her hands slipped to her bed, while her eyes tried to avoid Sam as much as possible. With a swift move, she unclasped it and placed it on top of her jacket. After clearing her throat, she finally dared to look at Sam and offer him a smile. “Well, see you in a few.” she said, then walked into the bathroom. After the door was closed, she silently slapped her forehead for the awkward behavior she had only moments ago. With a heavy sigh, she took off her clothes, one by one, then walked into she shower.
Fifteen minutes later, Alexandra was walking out of the shower, water dripping from her hair onto the tanned skin in small rivers. Picking up the towel, she started to dry herself, careful not to do more damage to her leg. When the task was done, she eyed the pajamas before picking up the shirt. When the time came to try on the shorts too, her concerns proved to be true, and, decided to stick with the shirt while wondering if it would be enough or would create just more awkwardness. Sighing once again, Alexandra opened the bathroom door and leaned against its frame, pajama shorts in her hand. “I think I’m gonna need a belt to keep these on.” she joked.

The shower took too long but then again Alex was a girl and his past experience with girls told him one thing, ‘Girls always take long showers’ he didn’t know why or think there was reasoning behind it maybe it was genetics? Or maybe it had to do with the longer hair? It didn’t really matter though soon after Alex past the ten minute mark Sam eyed Cammie one more time and kept gaze till Cammie let out a small weak meow and then turned upside down and started to purr, ”Sorry Cammie, that was cute when you were little, and Alex is here so you lose out…”
Could Cats understand humans? If so Cammie heard every meaning of the sentence and let out a small whine before she rolled upright and walked to the edge of the bed lifted her rear and flicked her long tail in Sam’s face before stepping back down onto Bruno who was busy sleeping the late night away.
As the bathroom door opened and Alex stood in the doorframe Sam rolled over and lazily sat up letting out a small yawn. His eyes opened wide as he spotted the shorts in her hand and Sam’s jaw dropped open as he eyed the Kiss shirt. His face became red as he leaned back in his bed that image of Alex forever imprinted in his mind, ”Might have some boxe…never mind…” mumbled Sam deciding that he liked Alex in just a shirt anyway. Not that he had anything planned but just thought it looked way better.
A low whistle leaked from Sam as he skimmed up her wet legs and then trailed up the shirt and to her wet faced as water dripped from her head. ”Damn….” said Sam loudly as he continued to gaze at Alex. Rolling over and climbing over to the far side of the bed where Bruno and Cammie were sleeping on the side of the bed Sam lifted his current shirt off of himself and tossed it onto the floor as he popped of his shoes and socks next. His pants still on Sam lifted the covers under himself and plopped down on his side of the bed. ”You somehow look prettier every time I see you Al, and just toss the PJ’s on the ground, I’ll get them tomorrow. Now come to bed!” letting out another loud yawn Sam patted her side of the bed and rotated his pillow before slamming his head down on it.
The sudden urge to somehow turn invisible hit Alexandra as soon as Sam’s eyes met her half naked figure. Blue eyes were unable to move from his face, even if she commanded them to do so. Her body didn’t listen to her either, still standing in the doorframe, only the returning red on her cheeks proved her that she hadn’t turned into a statue in the last seconds.
It was interesting how Sam could actually found her attractive, even when there was an unattractive cut on her leg. Her hand twitched slightly as Sam let out a whistle, freezing her in place more than she already was. The uncomfortable sensation in her eyes reminded her that she had forgotten to blink. Instantaneously, she blinked a few more times than it was necessary.
Only when Sam patted expectantly her side of the bed she realized that she was acting ridiculously. Snap out of it. The mental command broke trough and she moved. The pj pants were dropped from her hand as her legs started to move. She was Alexandra Kettler. Why was she acting like she was afraid? Body swayed from side to side, reminding of the walk of a feline, while blue eyes were locked on Sam’s figure. Her lips curled up to form a smile, as her knee touched the edge of the bed. "You certainly know how to make a girl blush, Sam..."
Alexandra crawled into bed, until her face was on the same level as Sam’s. She lowered her face, letting her lips brush against Sam’s. “Well, good night Sam.” She made her retreat quickly, and pulled the covers over her body. Rolling to her side so she could face Sam, she put a hand under her head and closed her eyes.
