Summary: She was completley nuts, but he was beginning to like that about her.
Author’s Note: This is my first fic in this pairing and I wrote it spur of the moment while trying to get something done for ttm. I really like it and will probably end up writing them in the future.
She was completely nuts, it was the only explanation for why the blond psychopath he had found himself attached to over the last few months was actually sad about winning. She had the trump card, she had a poker face no one could see past, she had more money on the table then everyone else and she looked like she was about to cry.
Luke wasn’t completely sane either because he wanted to do something for her. Like rub her back or hug her but that was completely stupid and she would most likely fry him. One thing he had figured out over the months is Elle liked to zap people, for fun.
Nuts!
“Can’t handle the heat honey,” one of the guys she was playing against, the burly one in desperate need of a shower, practically cooed at her “sweet little thing like you shouldn’t be playing with the big boys.
Luke felt his hackles rise protectively and he glanced at Elle, gauging her reaction to the man. She looked confused and Luke fidgeted a little as he moved closer to her, his hand coming to rest on her back in what he hoped as a show of solidarity.
She smiled up at him brightly, her eyes sparkling mischievous and happy and Luke got it. She was playing a game and they had fallen right into it. He should have known, she’d been winning so much it was obviously boring.
He removed his hand from her back, feeling them start to heat up.
“Ahh shucks boys, I can handle the heat just fine,” she grabbed the stack of money in front of her, stuffing it into the bright red purse she had been carrying around. The men rose to their feet threatenly and Elle grinned practically bouncing on her heels “but can you?”
She turned to Luke and he took it as his cue, his hand curling around her bicep and pulling her behind him as he let loose a blast of pure heat in their direction. She was already pulling him out the doors as the men screamed and her smile was bright.
“That was so cool.” she grinned pressing him up against the wall and she rested her head on his shoulder, giggling into his shirt.
Luke couldn’t help the small smile that touched his lips at seeing her like that and he snorted shaking his head, felling alive and needed. It had been chance that they had ended up together, she had been healing in some hospital from whatever Sylar had done to her, only alive because of some cheerleaders super blood or something, and he had been looking for Sylar.
He had found her and she had refused to leave him alone, heck she had talked him into breaking her out of the hospital and away from the guy with glasses and going on a road trip across America. She had wanted to go fairs and to movies, she had wanted to see the world and taste it.
He had wanted her to not leave him.
She glanced up at him and still smiling pressed her lips against his softly, the touch fleeting but tender. She pulled away still smiling her voice soft “Let’s go count the money” and Luke was still stunned as she wrapper her fingers in his and pulled him to the car they had been using.
