INERTIA A.K.A. Tia Clark
Tia tipped her neck back and saw Grant and smiled. She patted the ground next to her. "Come down here." He got down on the ground and lay next to her. He was close enough to smell the fruity scent of her shampoo. She looked at the stars and he glanced at them but mostly he looked at her.
"Yeah, there were a lot of injuries, a lot of deaths and you don't want to know what they are estimating the monetary damages at. We need to make this team work as a team. I'll have them start training for that tomorrow. I think everyone just needed a day off to recoop and heal a bit."
She got really quiet for a minute. "I've taken hits, HARD hits before but I've never been what you would call seriously injured before... Tonight I almost died because of a freak accident that exposed a flaw in my powers." She laughed a little bit.
"Luckily for me we have the best R&D in the world. They strengthened the bones in my neck with a flexible metal alloy or something that will keep my neck from breaking from getting whipped around like I did tonight. They said that in the field because that thing kept stomping on me my regeneration couldn't heal me fast enough. At some point the damage was so severe it could only keep my vitals going."
"Do you know what the worst part of it was?" He shook his head. "I could hear everything going on around me for a few minutes before I lost consciousness and I could feel that thing stomping on me and I couldn't phase. I have never felt so helpless in my life."
She turned to him and said, "I know it was you who saved me. I heard you and I sensed your touch when you picked me up. Thank you." Tia said and she leaned over and kissed him softly on the lips. "Is that ok? I'm not usually so forward but I..." Grant reached for her and started kissing her back.
