Part of her is struggling to breathe, the other half is telling her to get a grip. All that had brought this on, after all, was yet some other creature trying to get into her head. She’s been manipulated before. And though she’s overcome quite a bit of toxicity, she’s still quite damaged. Vulnerability is something she thought she’d left behind but for some reason or another he brings it out of her and she — Truly abhors it! She’s exhausted with being hurt. And yet, she’s the one who makes herself the damn ‘damsel in distress’. Ugh!!
He slips his fingertips beneath her chin, a move she usually finds some comforting but right now? She’s in too deep with her frustration and she actually pushes his grip away. “You’re full of shit!” she snaps, before she can even truly think.
He had always been so gentle with her. Something that he rarely was to anyone else and it was to that reason the snap hurt him worse than anything she could have ever done. If she truly felt that way about him, there was no point in even staying, but Ky knew how to rub things in. He knew exactly what buttons to push so she would be hurt far worse than he would in this.
As his grip was pushed away he smirked for a moment, but then moved his hand forward to grip her neck… tightly. With-in seconds, his entire attitude towards her changed; that gentleness evaporated into pure hatred as he spoke. “Or, maybe.. you should watch your tone.”
he couldn’t help the slight grin that spread across his lips a few moments after the kiss. nor could he truly deny his enjoyment of the moment. no, ky was in absolute bliss as he leaned his head back for a few moments. “as i’ve said before,” he mused out lowly. “all you ever have to do is ask.”
“that’s likely to make matters worse, though i’m sure it would be quite entertaining.” he had no interest in anything to do with the moore girl, but he did find entertainment in watching everything unfold after he had showed up to the little hideout she had been in to talk to ky’lar. “making use of your time not having to worry about a human for a few days?”
“it might, but she’s just angry. her fire burns, but not as much as my own.” maybe he was underestimating her, but quite honestly? he didn’t care. no, ky never did when it came to these situations. “with her gone, i don’t have to worry about upsetting her, but i still miss having her practically eating out of my hand.” a pause. “humans are so… amusing.”
Nita snorted and crossed her arms over her chest. “Just for that, I’m going to make it a point to go out of my way to bother you.” Nita moved forward and gave Ky a cocky smile.
“do you want me to rip you apart?” he asked, “i could do that if you wished, but i doubt you’d enjoy it.” he’d possibly do it anyways – if he could actually get away with it. “your kind never does.”
Nita threw Ky an exasperated look, her lips curled into a bitter smile “I know better than most what life is like” she muttered looking away. Nita pulled out her cigarette box, tapping her fingers against the metal.
“then you know there is no escaping what you are.” or rather, what you’re meant to be, but he couldn’t admit that. not now.. not ever. “eventually,” he said, “there will come a time everything falls into place, but truth be told? life is shit.”
what’s it like to die they ask me. it’s fun i say. try it sometime
He is swallowing hard his answer was rushed but he would do anything if it meant saving his city even if that would cost him his own soul, but at least for as long as he would live he would still be able to do what he did, to protect the town. Thoughts pushed to the corner of his mind as hands rest on the sides of his body and eyes meet the other’s as he is carrying on to say “ I am sure about it”.
“One soul for all those others,” he couldn’t help, but delight in the irony of the situation. “Tell me, do you really believe that they’d care for what you’re doing? Humans are like rabbits. They breed and breed – not even knowing why at times. So,” his lips pursed together for a few moments. “We have a deal.”
“then we can be each other’s backup, and see where things go from here. i don’t think we need to worry too much, but – the least amount of damage we leave behind, the better.” he’s learned, along with the other avengers, that people don’t tend to like their homes being destroyed even if the people destroying it were trying to save the planet.
he was about to comment that all damage was collateral, but instead, he gave a nod. there was no use trying to go into that little debate nor attempt to explain himself. “well, things happen,” he said with a shrug. “i’ll try to keep away from doing anything too unnecessary.”
remember kids!: ky has never done anything wrong in his life
