Moving in on a kill
Jane was making sure the body armor she was going to wear wouldn't be too noticeable. Then she rolled her eyes wondering why she was being so paranoid. Jake wasn't going to hurt her. But it was still smart to worry about the other guys.

So she made sure that she was in black from head to toe more or less. Nothing reflective. Soft soled shoes so nothing would clatter and an extra gun strapped to the small of her back. She didn't think he would stop her from using it. She didn't intend on killing anyone tonight but it was probably going to happen.

She wasn't going to lie to herself about this. Tonight was going to be dangerous. Hopefully nothing added to it. With that in mind she set out for the building. She took care with everything she did. No one should know about her getting there aside from her partner for the night. So all she had to do was wait for him to show up and she would be ready to move in.

He nods.

"I'm not asking you tell me your hopes and dreams, or any secrets, Jane. We just fought an avatar of a Japanese Demon God that nearly killed us both. Oh, and the band of Yakuza who tried to kill him and us.

Only a the most hardened person doesn't have a reaction to that." he says.

Only people like me. he thinks.

"I notice there are no pictures out. Nothing that looks like it's irreplaceable." he says. "You plan on staying in this place?"

"I might stay on. This building belonged to my father and it's mine now." She leans back in her seat.

"The last month or so has been crazy for me. Heck. The last six months. I keep getting into thicker and thicker trouble." She wasn't going to talk about her part in bringing Cthulu down.

"I'm not a hero. I just do what needs to be done as best I can. And that mask shouldn't be used like that. I'm going to make sure it goes back where it belongs."

"Funny thing about heroes and villains: neither of them ever consider themselves to fall under either label. It's the people around that judge their actions and give them their labels." he says.

"But you had the choice to save yourself or let me die tonight. You still give a damn about your fellow human being enough to fight for them when the chips are down and the path is tough." he says.

"They call those type of people heroes, Jane."

	Jane claps a hand over her eyes obviously not wanting to think about it. "I renounce spandex. It's impractical," she informs him in a tone that is mostly serious. "And I don't leave people behind. I just-- It's one of those things I'm incapable of doing." She'd rather not go into why. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Too bad about the spandex. The world suffers." he grins, before becoming serious again.

"You don't leave people behind, but they've got no trouble leaving you." he says simply. Maybe he's completely off, but then, he knows how that is, too.

"Jane, whether or not you're a hero is something you can debate with yourself until the end of time. But what's apparent to anyone who takes a good look at you is that you're a warrior. A warrior who never quits, who never gives up, and, above all who has yet to reach the limits of what she's capable of." he says.

"Someday, you're going to be nigh-unstoppable, if you choose to be."

Jane flushes again for a moment. Then she shrugs lightly.

"People never stop learning. I've never really stopped learning either. There's always something new to study."

The blond figures that he is serious about everything he is saying. He has no reason to bullshit.

"Thanks." She means it. "I guess I'm going to have to keep learning if I keep getting cases like this."

She wouldn't admit the fact it paid very well had some appeal since it kept her from having to do the more boring kinds of cases too often.

	"Well, people can always come to you with a case, but isn't it your choice whether you take it or not? I mean, do you see any situation where someone comes to you and you'd turn them away?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She leans back and chuckles. "There are a few cases I've turned down because I wasn't comfortable with them. I do a few cases that involve surveillance. Sometimes I find I just don't agree with what they're asking me to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2010-03-29 01:23 am UTC (link)
	He nods, taking that into account. "Well, you're good at what you do and you've got the right to choose who you work for. But you say you keep getting drawn into crazy stuff. Back home, we call that 'destiny'. And you know how to throw a party, Jane." he smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jdoesmith 2010-03-29 01:32 am UTC (link)
	She wasn't going to tell anyone about Cthulu. No talk of that weird predestination crap that tossed her fat in the fire. "I just like having fun. It's my definition of fun that's interesting that's all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She doesn't quite blush but she is grinning slowly. "Sure it'll be fun. Punching badguys and fighting crime. Just what every healthy young person should do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2010-03-29 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"Is that so? Because I was thinking of something else we were talking about earlier that every healthy young person should do, but we got interrupted by trying not to get arrested. Can we go back to that topic?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jdoesmith 2010-03-29 02:34 am UTC (link)
	She's smiling still,. "I wouldn't mind that at all." She wouldn't. She didn't expect much but she'd take what she could get. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jake smiles in return, then rises from the couch, and moves sit near to Jane. There is no hesitation in his next movement as he leans in slowly, then kisses her. This kiss begins light and slowly, but becomes deeper if Jane does not object. He lets her choose how much she wants to trust him at this point. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She sets the plate she had aside. The food wasn't going to get finished by her. Instead she is kissing Jake back. Her hands move to touch his face and his hair. She's a person who likes touching. She likes memories because she has so few of them and needs to try and fill up all the empty spaces. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He enjoys the touch of Jane's hands, memorizing the feel of them for his own memories. He's kissed and been kissed before, but this is the first time it's been an honest desire, rather than a means to an end. He bites at her lip gently, while tangling a couple fingers in her hair gently. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She has kissed other people. Much of it was because she had been relearning how people act. So it wasn't out of any real feelings it was just an innocent way to try and figure things out.

She almost growls at him for that but parts her mouth a little for him. She finds that right ow it's getting easier to just trust him because everything she has seen has told her he wouldn't hurt her and that he will match her move for move.

Feeling safe is always important and despite the heat of the moment she feels very comfortable.

	So Gotham isn't completely terrible. He enjoys the kissing, moving closer to her and traces his fingers down her spine, then back up. His hands wander a bit, but return back to her face and now he leans deeper into the kiss, willing to go as far as she allows him to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She curls into him. She doesn't want to accidentally hurt the scratches on his arms so when her own hands start to roam a bit the short blond is very careful.

She hesitates for a moment because she has never gone very far with anyone. There was never any need since she was too focused on other things. But she decides that her life will likely be too short and whatever happens she will have no regrets tonight.

When she hesitates, he stops for a moment and looks down at her.

"Jane, if you want to stop, just tell me so, and we stop." he says, before leaning in to kiss her again. If she does not object, he lets his hands wander lower, and his lips wander about her neck, kissing wherever he finds skin.

If she still has no desire to stop, then he will have no regrets this evening, either.

	She doesn't protest. She has no objections. Life is too short and sometimes a person just has to enjoy what life brings them. Who knows when it could all change? (Reply to this)(Parent)
