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

As soon as Ariana appeared in Alex's apartment where he and her little girl were playing, she broke down into ugly, heart-broken sobs. Alex placed Melanie on the couch before hurrying over to her. "Woah, woah! What's wrong, sweetheart?" He asked, helping Ariana to her feet by hugging her to his chest. He could strong zaps of energy coming off of her and shocking him, but he could barely feel them at that moment.
"He-He's....He's dead," Ariana sobbed, the glowing blue eyes gushing with tears. There was a surge throughout the whole building, making the lights flicker and buzz.
Alex didn't need any more information to know who it was she was so distraught about. Suddenly, she pushed off of him and clambered over to couch and her daughter. Taking Melanie into her arms, Ariana cradled the little girl who simply allowed her mother to do so without argument or knowing what was going on.

Juliettee laughed at his deeply blushing cheeks; just how count cute could he be? Giggling, she ran after him at an impressive speed considering she was wearing heels. "No fair!" She called to him, avoiding a cluster of people here and there. "I'm wearing heels and you're faster than me!" She had to slow her pace because of a mother struggling to handle her kids. Juliettee sighed and turned a different way before disappearing between some booths. Then suddenly, she was at the Ferris Wheel line before him, obviously having used her transporting abilities to get there.

Crystal snorted. She opened her mouth to say something else but stopped when she heard her phone buzz in her back pocket. She closed the fridge with a container in her hand while the other took the phone out. "Crystal Russell," She answered automatically. Her features went from frowning to her mouth gaping open and her eyes beginning to water.
"Are you sure?" She asked, her voice breaking a little. The person on the other end said something else before she slowly nodded. "Yeah, I'll be right there." Then she hung up the phone.
An furious look engulfed her face, something that hadn't been present in awhile since they had moved. Both of her hands were shaking, which luckily she had already put the container down, but she rose her muscular arm in preparation to chuck her phone at the wall. She took in a deep breath and gently placed her phone on the counter before she broke. She was still shaking but she was managing from doing anything brash. She quickly turned on her heel and headed out the back door. She reached the slab of metal that, by the help of some friends of hers, she wasn't able to break. She gave a quick burst of a shout then punched the slab before following it with multiple throws. When she came back inside, her knuckles with broken and bleeding.
"Wally's dead," Crystal murmured as her excuse for the spurt of anger. She glanced towards Waiola with wet, sad eyes as she walked over to the sink to rinse her hands.

Ace saw the fight as he passed but he didn't stop, not wanting to get caught up in it at the moment. Z, however, did pause to observe the tussle. She glanced towards Tim, then signed, whether he saw it or not, "She is a good fighter." Whether what she said indicated that she knew or not was hard to tell. But it gave away that she knew enough to know that Tim had some form of correlation with Sparrow. Z then continued on after Ace without another 'word'.

Ariana's eyes began to water at just the thought of her kids. The brightest part of her eyes that was considered her pupils flickered around the ground, as if she were looking for something. One could see how she withered slightly, both mentally and physically. "Yeah...you're probably right," she agreed in a quiet voice. Her broken heart crumbled into pieces. She clutched the yellow earpiece, the last remnant of Wally, tighter. Without saying another word, she disappeared with a spark in the air to return to Alex and Melanie.

Juliettee spun around to face him once they left the house of mirrors, still holding his hand. She giggled at the voice, grinning up at him. "Now, we're going to the Ferris Wheel," she hummed, bouncing up and down like a little kid excited to finally be big enough to ride the rides. She began tugging him towards the spinning ride.

Crystal thought about the options and decided that leftovers it would be because she was a lazy piece of sh*t. She turned towards the fridge and rummaged around for whatever she could find. When Waiola spoke, her pale blue eyes glanced towards the windows as she slowly nodded. "So do I," she agreed, directing her attention back to the fridge. "It's a lot calmer here than with my family."

Z sped her walking pace up to catch with up Ace, who was ahead of both her and Tim. The dark-skinned woman side-eyed Tim but made no further attempts at flirting...for the time being anyways. Ace, on the other hand, was a bit more calm looking angry. With him and Z, their relationship was open, but she knew well that he hated when she flirted with others in front of him. Unless they're both after the person, then that's different.

Ariana slowly looked up at him, taking her a moment to recognize him. She stopped walking and let out a shaky breath through her nose. "What is there to think over? Everything seems pretty clear to me." She muttered, her voice ice cold. Her glowing eye was still twitching, but now trails of electricity were traveling across her skin at random intervals.

Juliettee snorted at the comment, turning her head towards him. "I'll keep that in mind tonight," she retorted flirtatiously, adding a little wink. She saw the distasteful look he gave towards himself when he looked into the mirror, and she seemed to frown slightly at that. As far as she was concerned, she thought he was stunningly handsome and unique. She swerved her head in front of him, only to let out an "Aha!" when she saw she had found the exit door. "See? No need to rush through here," she chirped happily as she pushed open the door.

Crystal grinned up at her before they started towards their little beach house. Everything was so tame and quiet here. She took a deep breath in, smelling the salt water and sun-bleached sand. "What are you craving today, beautiful?" She asked once they had entered the naturally lit house.

Ace snorted at Senna's little snap. He wasn't directly irritated at Tim, he was just a victim of Z's jealousy game, but it was somewhat satisfying to see him get yelled at. Once the short woman was gone, he sighed then continued walking forward. "I don't know about you two, but I'm still going," he stated, not waiting for either of them.
Z watched Senna with eyebrows raised. Maybe she should've done a little digging before playing with the boy. Too late now, consequences are consequences.

Ariana turned her head towards Batman, catching him in the corner of her eye. She watched him inform the others about the tragic incident, before she looked back over the water. Suddenly, she turned away from the lapping shore and began to walk towards the buildings. The static sound lingered in her mind, and as she strayed further away from the people, her hands begun to shake while an eye twitched.

Juliettee rolled her two-toned eyes at his joke. She glanced towards him with a sweet smile, saying, "It's just natural." The angel giggled softly, watching him become frustrated with the unsuccessful attempt to navigate the maze.
"If we just sped our through, then what's the point of the maze?" She inquired, raising her eyebrows at him. "Allow me to lead the way." She turned around and headed down the way they came. She seemed to be a bit more successful than Ryan was at finding her way through.

Crystal took her hand, despite not really needing help getting up. She hopped to her feet while declaring, "I'll cook this time, dearest."

Ariana's electrical hands turned to flesh before reaching down to pick up the yellow earpiece. All that kept running through her mind was: "Oh god, he's actually dead." Her breathing quickened to a fast and eradicate pace. Her head felt foggy and numb, as if she were about to pass out. Clutching the piece tightly in her hands, she returned to the shore in her human state with a zap of blue electricity. The earpiece was all that was left of her beloved husband, and she didn't intend to let it go unless someone wanted to fight her for it. Her large, blue moon eyes simply stared out over the water, her body rigid like she was frozen solid. All she could hear around her was static and the thump of her breaking heart.

"Oh, you tease!" Juliettee breathed out with a grin. She followed close behind him, even though she resisted just enough so that he had to pull her along. When they entered the mirrors, Juliettee's reflection glowed back at her, making the room seem significantly brighter. "Reminds me of the gates of heaven," she murmured under her breath. "Hard to navigate and frustrating."

Crystal sat up to lean against the palm of her hands. "Isn't there something that goes 'love makes you do silly things', or something along the lines of that?" She questioned to the sky. She shrugged and craned her head to look back at their house. "I'm starving, are you hungry?"

Ariana was watching from one of the building's windows when the explosion happened. Her breath caught in her throat as her eyes frantically scanned the waters for a sign of Flash. Nothing. Her broken voice could be heard over the com system, crying out, "Wally?!" When there was no answer to either hers and Batman's callings, she begun to panic. A high-pitched buzzing sound pierced through the com system before Ariana fell from the line. She appeared by the river in her electrical form, but even from a distance, someone could tell she was sparking more than usual. She was becoming more and more volatile, despite her efforts to keep herself calm(ish). Completely out of character, she floated over the surface of the water in attempts to find Wally, or at least something of him.

Juliettee pondered his point before grinning suddenly. "Well, we can either risk our chances in the house of mirrors, or we can make-out on the Ferris wheel," she offered, looking up at him once more with a soft hum. "Whatever suits your fancy."

Crystal leaned up a little so Waiola didn't have to struggle as much to kiss her cheek. Her eyes shifted to her girlfriend's hand, as if she were inspecting it thoughtfully. "Well, if dorky means being happy, then let it be so," she declared with a smirk, glancing up at her.

Z grinned at Senna, and as she pulled Tim away, she looked at Ace while he begun to gather whatever he needed. Feeling Tim glance towards them, she shifted her eyes and gave a little wink at him. Ace was looking away when she winked at the other boy, but he wouldn't have been surprised if he caught her. Ace and Z followed after the others, the ginger staying close to the dark-skinned beauty.
