Tempest ran over and hugged Harry. [color=841536]"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!"[/color] She bounded up and down excitedly. It was truly the perfect gift. But, of course, nothing could overshadow the fact there was not one, but two proposals! [color=841536]"Wow, congrats you two!"[/color] she said to Novi and Maria. Hopefully, Raynor and Sparky would get congratulations too otherwise this would be hella awkward. Almost as awkward as whatever was going on with Tinley and Novikova. The tension could be cut with a knife.

Tinley didn't quite understand the edge Novi had in her voice. [color=FF8CBD]"Yes, I did. I figured you would like it. Was I wrong?"[/color]

Novikova just stared at Tinley for a moment, tears falling from her face as she got up and practically tackled Tinley with a drunken hug. [color=add3ff]"I love it."[/color]

Tinley, a bit startled from the tackle hug, patted Novi on the back. [color=FF8CBD]"Umm...good. I'm glad. It took some work to find it, but I know some people."[/color] She glanced at the others, especially Maria as if to silently say "Help Me"

Novikova didn't let go of her, her voice lowering to a whisper. [color=add3ff]"I hate you, you stupid fucking nice sweetheart of a person."[/color]

Tinley blinked. [color=FF8CBD]"You hate me? Why?"[/color]

[color=add3ff]"I was fired! You could have done something, you could have stopped it!"[/color] Novikova shouted, her volume abruptly raising. [color=add3ff]"I thought this was a family!"[/color]

Tinley almost ripped Novi off of her, placing her hands squarely and firmly on the girl's shoulders so she would have to look at her. [color=FF8CBD]"Wrong. That's fucking wrong! You were fired and that was out of my control. I did what I could to stop it but Hill was not having it. I fought for you, damn it! You're still part of my team, fuck whatever SHIELD says and I don't ever want you to think otherwise."[/color]

She was silent, staring at Tinley as she tried to keep her breathing even and steady, but the influence of vodka in her head was making that incredibly difficult. [color=add3ff]"You.... you did?"[/color]

[color=FF8CBD]"Of course I did, you idiot!"[/color]

[color=add3ff]"....Spasibo,"[/color] Novikova mumbled.

[color=FF8CBD]"You're welcome. Also, congratulations."[/color]

[color=add3ff]"If you need me, you call me? Or I'll kill you before whatever you're fighting does. Ty moya sestra."[/color]

[color=FF8CBD]"Wouldn't have it any other way."[/color]

Tempest watched and then cheered. [color=841536]"It's a Christmas miracle!"[/color]
