𝐓𝐖𝐎 - 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 ; ‘ y’were dreamin’.’ The familiar look in their eyes lacks HARVEY’s soft watery gaze , voice too hoarse. ‘ go back to sleep.’ Far be it from TWO-FACE to hesitate in anything but a hand comes to run through her hair briefly before he pulls away . ﹐ @halfdent.
Had they been awake , they would have seen the 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐒 that they were safe. They would have seen the signs of 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄 surrounding them. But instead , stuck in their own nightmares … They weren't in Gotham. They weren't with them. Trapped in their head , all they could see was that base.
❛❛ Keep going Anya! Again! ❜❜
Sharp commands rung through the room , echoing like it was coming from someone 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑. When eyes shifted to focus on the other asset in the center of the ring with her … It wasn't just another asset. It was 𝐉𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐄.
A scenario they had been forced into time & time again. Project Legacy couldn't 𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄 decent. Defection couldn't be tolerated. A lesson needed to be taught. One that would work for Anya at least for a very long time. Twin eyes looked up from a battered face. Blood covering any other features that might reveal the identity of the child cowering at her feet.
Hands 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑. Shaking at their sides until they chance to look away from their brother , the other half of them , & instead looking to bloody hands , only for them to turn into a fist. It's hard to see. Hard to 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓 even though they know how this plays out. They know how this ends. They've been here before … Many times. Hesitation kicks in … Her head shaking at him when he begs her to do as they ask. Tears that had been held in her heterochromatic hues since they started this.
❛❛ I said NOW Asset. Attack! ❜❜
There's a stabbing feeling in their head. Like a 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐋𝐄 being driven into their temple. It hurts , enough to knock their focus from the defiance , head shaking with the sharp headache now clouding their senses. It didn't matter now. Gone were the days where a Soldier would come to rescue the lost children. The Soldier was gone , it was all over. That switch 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐒 though. Doing exactly as intended , blocking everything except the main directive. Attack the other asset. Angry eyes stalking toward the badly beaten teen … Before eyes open.
Eyes open , & the room they had just been in was 𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐄. The cold , gym like room traded for the space she called home now. It wasn't the building that made it home … It was them. Cold didn't feel cold when they were with them. Not like it used to. It's not the 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 nightmare they've had since meeting Harvey. He was always there. Ready to 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐃 & 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐓. Ready to protect against the demons of their past coming back to remind them of their wrong doings.
Except this time … It's not Harvey. In the dark , it could be hard to tell. Often times they have to rely on 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐒 , little tells at who has the driver's seat in any given moment. Sounds are the main clue though. Micro expressions being something you have to read just to know who you're talking to. Harvey's called her an enigma before … But he & Two bring a whole new meaning to the word. It's beautiful. That 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐋 , small & soft , but present … Tells them all they need to know who it is.
Shoulder's tense. Waiting for some sort of comment that will 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐔𝐁𝐓𝐄𝐃𝐋𝐘 pull Harvey to come to their defense. Something about being 𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐑 , but instead there are few words , as gentle as they've ever felt the alter , combing a hand through disheveled brown locks. A hand reaches up , feeling his hand 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆. Not yet , she still needs that. A weathered hand grabs for his , a bit of insistence in the pressure used to squeeze his , but all she can do is shake her head while tears attempt to fall unseen under cover of darkness. ❛❛ 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐟 𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐭𝐨. ❜❜ No surprise there. If he had a peak into her mind he'd understand. ❛❛ 𝐈'𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮. ❜❜

Those longer than normal 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒 were always the ones that made Anya pay just a little closer attention. They weren't afraid of them. Anya didn't allow much to really 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄 them anymore. Fear had been something that had been cast far away from their existence. It always seemed like absolutely nothing could shake them.
But that had also been before being tossed right back into the hell they had nightmares about almost nightly.
It was taking just about 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 they had to just remain calm. So far they had managed to surprise 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 even , but when they took her arm … She started to doubt their resolve. That had been quelled momentarily when they were 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 able to see them , only to quickly have that layered with a haze of concern for the other. This was hard on her … She couldn't 𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐄 what this was doing to Harvey , even to Two … Maybe.
Just stay put. Stay calm , he'll figure something out. He always does. A subtle nod follows those 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐓 thoughts. Eyes tracking his movements. Both larger gestures , & the smaller ones too. They all matter when it comes to them. That much they were able to learn about him early on. That panic tries to 𝐏𝐎𝐊𝐄 through that flimsy armor they've clambered together. Watching him head for the door , & the absence of not only Harvey , but their arm sends their breathing into something more 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐂.
❛ Calm down … Do not lose your cool. Trust he'll figure something out. ❜
Blinking away the 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐂 thoughts , the flashes of memories of their childhood threatening to expose themselves , Anya sucked in a deep breath. Quicker than would have been desired. But they could take 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 as a win at this point. ❛❛ They're gonna separate us .. Aren't they? ❜❜
HARVEY held back the urge to make a remark about as long as they can keep '𝐌𝐑.𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐄' on track . He refrains . At least vocally . Keeps it between 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌 locked away behind body && mind like door && key .
' 𝐈'𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐋 𝐍𝐎𝐖 .' ' KEEP IT THAT WAY . ‘ ‘ 𝐖𝐇𝐎’𝐃 𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍' 𝐓𝐎 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 ? 𝐉𝐔𝐒' 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐓𝐑𝐘𝐈𝐍' 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐀𝐍 , 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐘 . 𝐖𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐇 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐄 . ' ...
Like predator the tension in her jaw did not go unnoticed , curious to find whether the vulnerability of a missing limb had rendered her prey or whether she would fight back . It DISSIPATES as does his interest for now , they still needed time to decipher his thoughts . Those of his feeling shared with HARVEY of their partner && those of his own , how far some strayed from the latter , how far was he willing to go to prove to HARVEY this could never work , they were far too hideous , deformed && even without that 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐀𝐑𝐄 . Well , this love affair could be fleeting at best . He watches , an observational silence for the moment .
HARVEY knows ANYA'S heart is a wild one . She needn't follow orders , but he knew the law in here , knew where all the lines were drawn . Could spin it all pretty well , even 𝐓𝐖𝐎-𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 could pose as a model inmate . Not a pushover , mind you , he let everyone know what happened to anyone who tried to challenge them or harm DENT .
❝ Get situated here , I'll see if I can - ❞ 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌 ? 𝐖𝐄 𝐆𝐎𝐈𝐍' 𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐘𝐄 ? ❝ CONVINCE THEM . ❞ He corrects allowed . ❝ Under the circumstances . A friendly gesture . If they hadn't caught on . ❞ To ANYA wasting no time to reach them that is . ❝ Won't be long . ❞ As he moves towards the door of his cell he wonders whether he should have apologized for their lack of privacy . For not being ALONE . He's scarcely alone these days . He's scarcely HIMSELF at the best of times. It's not important right now . Right now they have to bide their time so they can get all of them out of this cesspit before things inevitably get worse .

𝐐 ; ❝ Darling , ❞ He wasn't prepared for this . Worry && concern derived from a place of care , though what it regards ; the impression he may leave ... it was a risk ...
❝ the , um , ... are - are you okay ? You're wearing a lot of - well - the two-toned thing ? HE didn't twist your arm on that , right ? It's just our men wear that as a sort of - well you're not hired guns you're a guest . ❞ ﹐ @halfdent.
❛❛ 𝐇���? 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭? ❜❜ She thought it would be kinda .. .𝐅𝐔𝐍? Sure being fun wasn't really their thing , but 𝐒𝐓𝐘𝐋𝐄 also hadn't been until recently. Clothes were picked based on what they needed , preferences & style being tossed completely out the window. Life was moving through the day to 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘 𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐄. Harvey & Twos had been the first time outside of their family that they really felt 𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐍 as more than a hired gun , or an obedient dog. So what if it was a bit of a 𝐌𝐈𝐌𝐂. Especially now that they were finding they actually liked it.
Next came a pondering look. Glancing off to the side before looking down at the 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐅𝐈𝐓 that likely prompted the question. Followed by a shrug. ❛❛ 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆? 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲. ❜❜ There was no motion to change into something else , simply moving to decide if they were going gloved hands , or the new flesh colored & textured attachment for the prosthetic. ❛❛ 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 ... 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞. ❜❜ That 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐅𝐔𝐋 ton to their voice was still present , reaching to grab another one leaving less to the imagination & holding it out for him to see. Letting the garment dangle off the hanger on their finger. ❛❛ 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 , 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬'𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞. ❜❜

𝙱𝙰𝚃𝙼𝙰𝙽. “ i extended the benefit of the doubt because of your association with a good friend of mine, but do not test my limits, barnes. i expect you to answer honestly this time, what were you doing at that crime scene? ” @urbanoath.
Focused eyes stared down the caped vigilante over Gotham. He didn't scare them … But not 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 did these days either. Not to say the threat isn't realized. He could take them down if he wanted to. All the more reason to stay 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇. Something Anya had been trained from childhood to be good at.
What they were 𝐃𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆 at the crime scene was their business. Certainly no business of his , but it was obvious that was hardly a thought to cross his mind. The goal wasn't to fight him , but rather to get away from him … At least long enough to find out what 𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐋𝐘 he was after. Typical behavior for the assassin really.
❝ My job. ❞ She answers bluntly. Eyes showing that there's no more they're willing to offer him. Because she 𝐈𝐒𝐍'𝐓. ❝ Last I checked you didn't sign my paycheck. ❞

❝ Someone's feeling a bit GREEDY aren't we? ❞ Which one of them 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐍 , but they had a feeling they knew which one. A smirk curls their lips up in one corner , taking another sip before casting a pondering look. ❝ Pretty sure you gotta put a ring on it t'get t'be that greedy Counselor. ❞ A rare occasion of 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐘 in their voice. Arching a brow quickly as if to issue a challenge to @halfdent. ❝ Which I don't think you got the guts t'be married t'this psycho. ❞

𝙼𝙰𝚁𝙲𝚄𝚂. 「 SLIP 」 : for senders hand to slip between the receivers legs.
The meeting was almost over , & this 𝐖𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 could have been an email anyways. At least , to Anya it could have. While her guys bickered & argued over whatever issues they had , Anya was getting a headache. Most of this could 𝐖𝐀𝐈𝐓 when it came to matters of urgency. @renownedagent must have noticed. It would explain that hand Anya felt in the midst of almost falling asleep.
Eyes opened alertly , but not in a way that would 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐓 to anything. Not like they were a novice or anything. A breath hitched as his hand reached up her skirt. Right , that was why they like wearing these. Glancing to him , she smiled before reaching under the large conference table to find 𝐇𝐈𝐒 , before bringing it up just a little bit higher up said skirt. At leas not this meeting was interesting.

( Q. ) ❝ Trust is a two-way street. If I ask it from you, you’re getting it from me. ❞ ﹐ @katarinawilliams.
THEY KNEW THAT WAS TRUE. THEY NEEDED TO TRUST PEOPLE. But that was so much easier said than done for them. Time , & time again , people had earned their trust … only to betray them down the road. They started to almost EXPECT it. Assuming that it would come before any signs of that happen even came to light. Of course , that wasn't happening here. Rather , Anya had simply been holding herself EXTREMELY GUARDED.
There's the huff of a sigh. Eyes lookin away from their new found friend , discomfort over being PUT ON THE SPOT causing a slightly sense of anxiety. It's something they need to do … They've been working on this with Gail. But it's probably one of the most TERRIFYING things they've ever had to do. Trusting people , letting them in. ❛❛ I know. I'm … I'm bad at this whole … Friendship thing. ❜❜ There's a deep breath taken in. ❛❛ Just … Trust that if you NEED t'know something … I'll tell you. ❜❜

𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐘𝐀𝐍𝐀 ; ❝ I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse. ❞ ﹐ @warender.
An intriguing thing to hear. Something that causes the former assassin to 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐊 𝐔𝐏 slightly. Brows arching with intrigue at the plan Illyana had cooking. She always did seem to have the best plans after all. They lean in , resting the elbow of their 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐂 arm on the table , holding their chin in their gloved hand. ❛❛ Oh really? & what offer would that be? I have to say I'm DYING to know. ❜❜

She'd been out. Not UNCOMMON. Time & time , Anya needed to get out. Get as fresh of air as possible in Gotham , & just enjoy the freedom. Most of the time … It was going out for a 𝐑𝐔𝐍. Running was calming for them. It allowed them to think clearly. Not that they were struggling with any confusion … but sometimes just getting away by yourself was just what you needed.
They 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 came back home though. At least , they did since the two of them had decided to go on this crazy ride together. Before , the idea of being TIED DOWN somewhere was terrifying. Reminding them of a prison … Now they actually 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐃 having someone to go home to.
Door pushed open to there they were calling 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄 for now. The former assassin stepping inside , & upon removing their headphones , were greeted to a new set of tunes. A curious furrow of their brow joining their features when a 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐑 voice was heard singing along with the record. She liked it when he sang … & could tell who it was from the tone alone. Learning to tell the difference had been one of the greatest journey's they had been on. Each one being so uniquely beautiful in their own way. A grin curled her lips , as she pulled off her sweatshirt , draping it over the back of one of the chairs.
❛❛ Had I known there would have been a 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 … I would have made sure I got a ticket. ❜❜ She waited for him to finish singing along with the tune before speaking. Leaning against the doorframe to the room he sat in as she spoke , before PUSHING off of the entrance , & crossing over to seat herself in his lap. Arms wrapped around the back of his neck , assisting to hold herself there easier. ❛❛ Pretty song … ❜❜ She mused quietly. A hand reaching up to card through his hair in a safe spot to avoid scarred spots that were sensitive.
A rare moment of solitude && content as he leans back in his chair , head tipped back , taking a drag && listening to the radio . Many have attributed such positive traits && attributes to HARVEY but 𝐓𝐖𝐎-𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 had them to . He was more musically inclined than his counter part , even with the gravel of his voice .
❝ I made a golden promise That we'd never part I gave my love a locket And then 𝐈 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 And then 𝐈 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓
It's such 𝐀 𝐒𝐀𝐃 𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 The fields are soft and green It's memories that I'm stealing But you're innocent when 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌 , 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌 . ❞

𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐀 ; ❛❛ i'm sorry i went crazy. ❜❜ ﹐ @katarinawilliams.
It's not idea. Probably going to mean 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐄 for them later … but that was the past. There was nothing to be done about it now , except to just move forward. Fix the problem in front of them. It's what they had been 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃 to do anyways. Finish the mission … Fix the problem. That was it.
The apology gives them pause. Hands moving to support their weight as they leaned forward. Allowing the rest of their body to rest on the table , while an 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 exhale leaves their lips. It's quiet , nearly undetectable. ❛❛ It happened … Worrying about it isn't gonna help us any. ❜❜ There's a shortness to her voice , but it's nothing more than a need to stay focused. ❛❛ I just need a minute to figure this out. ❜❜

cont. from HERE with @katarinawilliams.
Incidentally , it had been 𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐇 assumptions she had that had hung the assassin up in getting home. First was being checked back into Arkham. After their inevitable escape , it was 𝐎𝐁𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒 that they couldn't just go back home. At least not right away. What the GCPD , & even Batman didn't know , was that they had safehouses all over Gotham. In other people's names , allowing for them to come & go from bunkers under the houses & even the basements in order to hide out. Far from glamorous … But they were home now.
❛❛ You know I DON'T like people in my house Katarina. ❜❜ They reminded. Dropping their large , military stuff bag & going to the bar to make a drink. Yeah , a nice drink from the comforts of home was what they needed right now. Just a chance to unwind , which was what brought Anya's brow to perk up when Kat offered to make them something to eat. They pondered that for a moment. A perplexed look on her face , before eventually a 𝐍𝐎𝐃 came out. ❛❛ That actually does sound pretty nice though … ❜❜ They nodded , taking their glass of Vodka & heading to the sofa. ❛❛ Make it Kosher though yeah? ❜❜

BILLY ; “ do i ask questions or do i just help you clean up all this blood? ” ﹐ @1stltrusso.
A frustrated sigh left the assassin. If she was going to have to answer questions … They would have just done this themselves. The GRUMPY mood wasn't his fault though. Long day , made for a shortened temper when it came to Anya. Just simply a way that they always have been. After the sigh , comes another , more UNDERSTANDING sigh , before looking over to him. Body of the poor fuck who she had gotten the mark for still dead on the floor. ❛❛ Well I certainly prefer no asked questions , I'll settle for questions at the end if you don't mind. ❜❜

They never thought they would 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 make it to that happily every after that so many people took for granted. Even if they remained out of the clutches of their captors , they always thought they would live their entire lives feeling like they were 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 something that everyone else around them had. Someone to love. In whatever form that took. A simple desire. Something so simple … It often times seemed like a 𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐍. Not always , & always something Anya was too afraid to want until Marcus had come along.
❝ Hopefully we can at least hold them off long enough to make a quick getaway. ❞ They joked. Though being quick was going to be 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 compared to how quick they normally were. Still faster than most , but pain when you breathed hurt no matter how enhanced you were. Anya had just learned to 𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐄 the pain for the most part. ❝ Hopefully the currently broken ribs can still join us on said vacation. ❞ Another joke. A dark one. That was the usual for Anya. They were never good at jokes , always relying on the only thing they had experience with. The dark stuff.
a soft chuckle would come from marcus's pursed lips. something about anya made him feel warm, safe & comfortable. he cared about her. TRULY. his callused hands gently caressed her hands as he sat next to her on the bed, his brown hues looking into hers. " anywhere nice? south of france? venice? or somewhere we can not get into trouble.. "
" ah, like they would never notice us not answering.. we work on our own terms.. " that bright smile that often remained hidden - only reserved for a select few people that he could trust; HIS FAMILY & ANYA. " just us. a nice vacation, no broken ribs; no bullets. just us having a breath of fresh air for once. "

@halfdent said: " This film's a load of shit , who put it on YOU or DENT ? " it's beauty && the beast && Twos is only acting like he hasn't been intently watching it.
Well they had THOUGHT this would be a nice evening , just a nice cute movie , some wine & being close to one another. She should have known this wasn't going to go well. Her eyes narrow , & she looks up at him with a bit of a SNARL in her gaze. Body moved away from his as she sat up to face him more fully. Head shaking she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
❝Mine , actually. I thought you needed to lighten up some.❞ Anya had a temper. There hadn't been a secret about that in a long time. & any fight or flight instincts they had always defaulted to fight. ❝Looks like I was right.❞ A scoff followed , as her hand reached for the remote to turn the movie off. ❝Plus I'd never seen it , but I'll just watch it by myself.❞

@clochanam said: ∗ 9o﹕ sender helps receiver patch up a wound .
The needle pulls a quiet hiss from the assassin. Getting patched up after a mission was their least favorite part of the job , & she hated having to do it herself. Not to mention what they hated more , was having to ask for help. It didn't feel so nerve wracking with Aisling though. It was one of the reasons why she even came here in the first place. Where normally she would avoid asking for help at all costs , they found themselves wanting to go to her. As the sting of the needle died down again , she let out a long steadying breath before glancing over to Aisling. ❝Thanks for this. If I did it, these stitches would be absolute shit.❞

@s0fias said: ❝ how bad could it be? ❞
The question would have made Anya laugh , if it wasn't for the fact of how many things could in fact go wrong. Anya was known to think of every way things could go wrong before making the first decision. Taught from a young age to do so , it had well & truly become muscle memory by now. The again , their family was known for being that way. Happened when you were on the run or imprisoned most of your childhood. ❝You want the short list? Or the long one. Way I see it there's no way this won't be bad.❞
