[IC] He's Such A Heart Throb, Ain't He? (Private)

[LarayiaHunter]

"No." Waiola gave her short reply quickly. She heard Crystal rummaging around the fridge. She could feel how heavy the air was. Nothing but awkwardness. Waiola hated feeling awkward. "Crystal, when are we going to talk about this?" She asked, sitting up and gesturing to her belly. "Because I'm going to be entering the second trimester any day now, and neither of us have really acknowledged that ever since I came back from my little...disappearing act."

[RedBalloon]

Crystal stood in front of the open fridge but she wasn't looking for anything. Slowly and somehow calmly, she closed the door then turned around to face Waiola. "What is there to talk about?" She breathed out, crossing her arms. "I don't know what to say other than whatever you choose to do, I'm going to support you." Crystal had never thought about possibilities of kids because with her preferences, there was no way to have kids.

[LarayiaHunter]

Waiola frowned, looking at the ground. "Well, I don't even know what I'm going to choose." She muttered softly. "This whole situation sucks ass." She hissed, throwing herself back against the couch and crossing her arms, sitting in an annoyed manner. She looked at her knees, studying them as she thought. "Even if I wanted to keep it, I don't even think I could, you know, support them both as a mother and financially. But if I give them up then they become a easy weak point for whoever I take down." She verbally vomited, her brain thinking faster and faster.

[RedBalloon]

Crystal pursed her lips before walking over to the couch and sitting next to her. "I mean, this may sound stupid, but maybe Juliettee would be willing to help you?" She suggested, looking at her. "If you don't like that, you could always move in with me." She thought this entire situation was silly to stress about, especially since it should've never have happened in the first place.

[LarayiaHunter]

"What could Juliettee do?" Waiola asked, not following Crystal at all. The Hawaiian native leaned foreword, her elbows on her knees as she rested her temples against her palms. Despite the situation, she snickered. "At this point, I've already basically moved in with you." She said to her knees, her eyes staring at the muscular lady sitting next to her.

[RedBalloon]

Crystal smirked at her comment. "Sure, you've 'moved' in, but I mean actually living with me," she clarified, glancing down at the scars on her arms. "Just you and me. Our own place somewhere." She took a deep breath before leaning her head back against the pillows and looking at the ceiling. "And what I meant about Juliette was she's filthy f*cking rich, so if you're worried about finance then you could ask her to help."

[LarayiaHunter]

Waiola's hands released her forehead. She just stared at Crystal, blinking only a few times. "'O-our own place'?" She quoted, her eyes widening a little. She felt her body relax, shaking her head as she started to laugh. "I don't know why, but you just said that so casually and I think that that's just so freak'n funny!" Waiola's cheeks were blushing because she was a little embarrassed like she always was when it came to relationships. "But, I mean, I guess we could. I'm going have to go out a get a job so we can, you know, pay for our own place. And, like, uh...wh-where were you thinking of going?" She asked, looking at Crystal.

[RedBalloon]

Crystal's light blue eyes moved towards her as she heard her laugh. It was good to hear her laugh. "I was thinking somewhere less... active. More peaceful. Sure would help me with my anger "issues"." She made quotation movements with her fingers along with the word to emphasize it was an understatement. "But, of course, you get a say on where we go," she chuckled, lifting her head from the couch. "Or else it wouldn't be fair."

[LarayiaHunter]

Waiola shrugged. "'Less active'." She quoted once again. "Certainly not a city then, or anywhere near your sister and nephew." She teased, shrugging. "I do like beaches, oh and warm places, but I'm not picky." She said, running her fingers through her thick, tangled, and dark waves of hair.

[RedBalloon]

Crystal laughed. "Definitely not near my family, they are just trouble magnets," she added. Her scarred face lit up at the mention of the beach. "The beach would be great! Just think, the air is clean and waking up to the sound of waves." Her eyes glazed over in a dreamy fashion as her mind wandered to imagining calmer days. "Oh, baby, we should do it!" She exclaimed, her gaze returning back to her.

[LarayiaHunter]

Waiola smiled at how happy Crystal looked. "Yeah, why not?" She asked, grinning. "Let's do it." She said, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend's waist and kissing her cheek.

[RedBalloon]

Crystal gave a girlish squeal, which was about the most girly response anyone has gotten out of her, ever. She wrapped her arm around Waiola's shoulders and pressed a soft kiss against her temple. "I love you," she admitted with a grin.

((Ah yes, sweet lesbian moments. My favorite.))

[LarayiaHunter]

"Love you, too, dork-a-saurous." Waiola replied, closing her eyes and taking in Crystal's scent. It had been quite a day, but now here they were, laughing, smiling, and kissing each other.

[RedBalloon]

Five months after Crystal and Waiola totally wrecked the frat boy, Crystal managed to snag a private beach house in florida, with the help of Alex, and settle in with her girlfriend. It was a lot more peaceful in the sunny state than the city they had previously lived. In fact, Crystal had managed to mellow out a lot more, almost to the point where not everything made her angry. She got a job at a local boxing gym as a trainer for the accomping fighters and was fairly contempt with her life.

((That's all I can think to put))

[LarayiaHunter]

"Keep, Keep running, Wal-man." Flash muttered to himself, sprinting at his top speed. His was running on fumes, and he didn't have much of that left. He was beyond exhausted at this point in time, but he had to make it in time. He had to finish getting all the way to the other side of the country in the next 15 minutes, or else something really bad was going to happen.

"Wow, six flags was a good choice, am I right?" A tall ginger asked his shorter, blonde girlfriend. They had been at the theme park for about two hours now, and it closed in another two. It was dark. All the lights on the rides were all. Music blared through the speakers. Actors in costumes walked through the paths. People screamed as they zipped through the rides.

"Flash to Batman," The speedster started, not noticing that his speed was slowing from how sore and worn his muscles were, "have you already-"
"I've already zeta beamed here. I'm currently searching for the explosive." The dark knight replied through his intercom, "I've already requested backup, seeing as this mission is so far not going in our favor." He raced through the hallways, checking everywhere. He had sent out three SOS's. One to Cyborg, who already replied with a decline to do the fact he was fighting someone bad somewhere else. Nightwing was on his honeymoon in Hawaii so he was out of the equation. The only other tech geek he knew was Ariana. A tech geek would help find the bomb's signature and so could Flash's speed, only if he was at the target though.

Waiola laid out on the sand on her back, her face and swelled up belly facing the sky. The air was warm and the breeze was cool. The smell of the ocean air brought memories of hawaii back to her. Hawaii from two other dimensions. The house that she and Crystal now owned, thanks to Alex and the team, was beyond perfect.

"Almost," Flash gaped, gasping for air, "Almost there, B-man." He sprinted past buildings, entering a city after running through the countryside and deserts for the last 100 miles or so. He was getting close.

[RedBalloon]

Ariana had been given the day off from work due to low maintenance of the company's security. Her husband was out on a mission and the hyperactive Melanie needed her attention. "Come on, sweetheart, you can do it!" Ariana encouraged as she watched her young daughter squeezing her eyes shut and clenching her fists. She was trying to teach Melanie how to transform into her electrical form, which the child had done before but only by accident.
"Come on, come on, come on," Ariana cooed, kneeling down and spreading her arms wide. Then she heard the beep. The beep of the league communicator that she hardly used since having Melanie. Even her daughter looked up at the beep, breaking her concentration. Ariana pulled the communicator to check the message. If she had pupils, they would've widened.
She rushed over to Melanie, scooped her into her arms and zapped away. She only took a moment to drop Melanie off with Alex then traveled over to where Batman was. She appeared out of the nearest electrical socket then quickly blinked up at Batman. He looked somewhat worried, even through the scowl and cowl.

"Yes, especially since this is my first time here," Juliettee hummed, looking at her boyfriend. She had her arm hooked around his, walking side by side. The time was just lovely because of the lights and music vibrating through the air. She had never been to an amusement park, even as a kid, so when Ryan suggested that they go she was thrilled.

Crystal had gotten back from a training session with a client and was about to head to the bathroom to shower when she passed by the glass doors that faced the private portion of the beach. She saw Waiola lying on the sand, and a smile tugged at her lips. She glanced back at the bathroom once more then slid open the back door. Tossing the towel she been using to dry her sweaty face to the side, she sprinted across the sand over to Waiola. When she got close, she slid onto her side to she stopped by Waiola, the soft, powdery sand flying through the air. "Hey, gorgeous," Crystal greeted, winking at her girlfriend.

[LarayiaHunter]

"Good, someone's here," Batman started, whipping out his wrist as a hologram of the building's blueprints was projected from his bracer. "My tracing hardware doesn't seem to be working, or any of my systems in fact. I think someone might have hacked me. I'm working to get past it and rescue the civilians, but I need you to go out and try to find the bomb as fast as you can. There's most likely not that much time left."

Flash arrived at the building crashing through the front, glass doors, approximately 12 levels below batman. He tumbled over himself in the shards of glass, slivers piercing and slicing at his suit and skin. The building was 23 stories tall. Not everyone had been evacuated yet. People screamed and shouted, throwing themselves past the recovering Flash trying to get themselves to safety.

"Really, never?" Ryan asked. "I guess we're going to have to come here all the time then. How about Lake Compounds? What about Disneyland?" He inquired, smiling at Juliettee. THe light from the rides cast warm vibes on her skin, making it appear that she was glowing, but then again she was always glow.

"Flash to Bats, I'm here." Flash said, standing up. "I'm dangerously low on gas and I...Oh, hey, Baby!" He said, scrummaging up a smile as his communicator automatically linked Ariana into the radio conversation. "Here to help save the day-"

"Save your flirty for later, Flash. Do you have enough energy to check the lower 11 floors?" Batman interrupted. "On it." Batman heard the ginger reply. "Ariana, I want you to check the upper 12 starting with this floor."

Waiola looked over at her and bursted out laughing. "Babe, you got sand all over me, and more importantly, all over you!" She called, flicking Crystal in the nose. Crystal's sandy hair was now sparkling with white sand. Waiola sat up, brushing her top off and worked to get the sand out of her t-shirt. But she didn't mind the feeling of sand too much.

[RedBalloon]

Ariana looked at the communicator and she was able to see the code that gave the bat-tech its abilities, which was painfully crupted. She made a cringed face at the sight only she could see. "You've definitely been hacked," she commented, glancing towards Batman. When she heard her husband's voice, she grinned at the beginning of his flirty greeting.
Ariana snickered but nodded at the instructions. Her body become electrified and glowing as she switched to her electrical form. She disappeared into the socket once more before traveling up the lines to each floor and quickly checking them.

Juliette giggled while shaking her head. "No, never," she confirmed. "I've never been to any sort of amusement park. I never had time, even when my parents were alive." She looked up at him with a grin. The surrounding colorful lights made his blue eyes light up like a neon sign and his ginger hair seem brighter.

Crystal laughed, sitting up to whip her head back and forth to get the sand out of her curly hair. "I'm already a mess, I don't think it matters," she sighed dramatically, shrugging. She then leaned over and kissed Waiola's cheek. "You enjoying the sun?" She questioned in a soft tone.

[LarayiaHunter]

Flash 'sprinted', more like jogged at his speed, down the stairs to the underground levels. "Nothing in the basement." He said into the communicator, running up the lower floors. His heart was racing and his head was pounding from the lack of calories necessary to keep going. However, his feet were still moving. He glanced out the windows at the river that flowed just across the street of the building. What a pretty place to look out at as you worked. Which is what he should be doing now.

"Just keep looking." Batman said, rushing the last batch of workers outside. He heard the ginger speak again, "Wait, I think I found it. It's a big, scary, black, green, and red looking thing with lots of wires and a timer that's got seven second left, right?"

Ryan's heart sunk a little bit, hearing Juliettee mention her parents. She rarely did, but it always made him feel sorry for her. He had great parents, and it was rare for someone in his line of work to have both parents. Later tonight, the West family plus Juliettee were going to have one of his Dad's movie marathons. "Yeah, something tells me that your vampire butler or giant cat don't really like going out too much." He teased, yanking her a little closer and wrapped an arm around her waist as they walked. "Which ride do you want to go on next?"

Batman man's masked eyes widened as he heard what Flash had said. "Ariana, please don't kill me for this!" was the last thing the Dark Knight heard as he saw a red blur, slower than normal blur, sprint out of the building and towards the water. Flash huffed and puffed. This was a really big bomb, a really big one. He had to try to neutralize the blast best he could, so he quickly made up his mind to ditch in where it could do, hopefully, the least amount of damage.

"Either than or the view of the hot mess next to me." Waiola flirted, laughing. "I really love it here." She said, looking out at the water. "It reminds me of home, well, my first home." She said, turning and looking at Crystal. "'cause this is home now." She declared with a grin.

[RedBalloon]

Ariana was frowning as she formed on the top floor, looking around. "Nothing on my floors," she reported after Flash in her distant, static voice. She gave a heavy sigh before continuing her search. She felt like it was a fruitless search. That was until her husband spoke about finding a bomb. Before she could get in a word, Flash asked her not to kill him and she could see a red, slower than normal blur outside. "Son of a b*tch," she cursed in a somewhat irritated tone. Last time Wally ran a bomb away before she could attempt to disarm it ended up with him almost dying. She wished she could stop him, but she wasn't fast enough to.

Juliettee turned her head away from him before he took on a saddened look. She knew that she didn't talk about her parents a lot which might make people feel sad for her, but she really wasn't too bothered by it. She had plenty of people in her life to make her feel happy that she didn't need to worry about the absence of her parents. She gave a soft laugh at his comment. "No, they are not social creatures," she added, feeling his arm wrap around her waist. At the question, she looked around then pointed towards the Hall of Mirrors. "That one looks fun," she said, looking up at him.

Crystal laid back in the sand with her arms crossed under her head. "Yeah, I am pretty hot," she retorted, grinning cockily. She turned her light blue eyes towards her girlfriend and her cocky grin turned to an admiring smile. The beach yellow sun made Waiola look breathtaking. "I'm glad you feel at home, mi alma," she cooed, moving her arm so that she could take Waiola's hand and press the back of her fingers to her lips.
