I think so. Want to skip to them returning?

"You deserved it too." Roxy growled as she continued to solder the metal over the holes. She was clearly not the least pit sorry for her actions. No one touched her without her permission. It was a lesson more than one person had learned the hard away. People respected her because she was brutally honest with them. If they didn't they were welcome to go elsewhere. Everyone would know Devika was under her protection. That would keep most of the vultures away.

"Go pick out a paint color so we can make this bike look respectable." She ordered as she put the soldering iron back in its place. Then she began putting the pieces back together. The bike was almost perfect. The only thing was off was that the new welded spots were a different color. She would fix that before she allowed J to leave. She would take him helping Devika as payment. It was a fair enough exchange.

Sorry for the delay. I swear every time I pull this up I get distracted and forget to post. This year is not a good one.

Its ok. The world is crazy. I'm hope your alright. There's no rush. Take your time.

Roxy snorted when Jess said that the situation. She wished she believed that. She didn't. "I know people who have gotten themselves out of situations like this but I'm not able to do it so it's at least partially my fault." She hadn't even met her brother but she refused to give up the chance. Her father used that desire against her but someday when Drake was older she would be able to say that she had tried and given up.

"Alright. We'll go another hour and then see how you feel. If you want to get out before that just let me know." As long as Jess didn't mind staying in the pool Roxy figure she might as well take advantage of the time. She could relax a bit. She wanted to exhaust herself as much as possible. The more tired she was the better she would be able to sleep.

"I'm sorry about this weekend." Roxy stopped at the wall. Partly to catch her breath. She was about as relaxed as she was going to get as long as they were here. Unfortunately they had to deal with this crap tomorrow. She wasn't looking forward to it but she accepted that to keep Jess safe she was going to have to play along. At least as long as the empath wasn't able to protect herself.

"We can head to bed whenever your ready." It wasn't late but she doubted that Jess wanted to spend the next couple hours in the water. Roxy easily could have. She had done so more than once in the past. But she wouldn't ask Jess to do that. Not everyone liked spending hours in water. For some the hour they had spent doing laps would have been enough. She would figure out a way to spend the rest of the evening until she was ready to try to sleep.

"I need no such thing." Roxy argued back. She placed the metal on the ground. She started to take the body of the bike apart. Not completely just enough that she could see if there were bullet trapped in any of the interior. "I don't need an assistant anymore than I need a girlfriend J." She assured him as she poked around inside the bike. She had no interest in relationships beyond friendship. She had enough to deal with.

"J could teach you a few things. He's good with the things. Whenever I break mine I call J. But I should warn you that he doesn't always use his skills for good." She said as she started to put the body back on. She occasionally picked up one of the pieces of metal and melted it over a hole. The she did the inside and than the outside. All the welds were seamless.

Unlike Jess Roxy didn't try floating. She pushed of the way and started to swim. She was a decent swimmer. She made quick work of the distance from one side of the pool to the other. She was doing her best to burn off her frustration. Physical activity always help with that. She was hoping a few laps would help her. She made sure to not get too close to Jess. She didn't want the waves that she was creating to disrupt the empath's ability to float. She wanted the other woman to relax as much as possible

After a few laps most of her frustration had been burned off and she was able to slow down. She didn't stop though. Her goal was to exhaust herself. She hoped that would be enough to allow her to get some sleep. The better she slept the better Jess would be able to sleep. It seemed like the least that she could do for the other woman.
