SIX. [RL with Elektra]

Mar 16, 2011 23:41

[Bruce has been settling in well. It's been strange to stay in one place, somewhere he not only doesn't have to work but shouldn't work so as to keep a low profile - and even stranger to live with someone that knows everything about him. Bruce has tried to keep himself busy as well as he could, doing various housework and keeping up with his ( Read more... )

[She knew it was coming eventually. For as long as she could remember her father had done everything in his power to ensure his daughter was both intelligent and strong. Elektra could see where all of this was going and simply chose to ignore it. She was genuinely happy for the first time since her mother died. The last thing she needed to do was screw it up by thinking about it. Too bad she knew just looking at him where this was going. Ignoring it wasn't an option anymore.]

I'm listening. [She gestures for him to come in. Even in a good mood he practically needed a written invitation to come inside. She expected this time wouldn't be any different.]

[She nods. Even if Elektra would treat him the same way regardless of his condition, it made a difference to Bruce. He wouldn't have to reign himself in all the time or worry constantly about his control.]

Just don't get yourself killed over it.

gamma_effect March 21 2011, 21:16:04 UTC

[It makes a big difference to Bruce, in every aspect of his life, really.]

We've gone over this. Even if I wasn't a career paranoid, I can't be killed. You don't need to worry about that.

namedfortragedy March 21 2011, 22:13:37 UTC

There's a lot of different ways for a person to die, Bruce. [Though she had to wonder if that was really true or she was letting her own paranoia getting in the way of accepting that.]

gamma_effect March 23 2011, 13:42:13 UTC

And none of them are going to happen to me. I'm coming back.

namedfortragedy March 23 2011, 21:53:21 UTC

[She studies him for a moment before nodding. She really was just being paranoid.]

I'm holding you to that. [Elektra exhales audibly. He should know by now she's working herself up to do something.]

Do you want to stay here tonight?

gamma_effect March 25 2011, 01:58:52 UTC

Here, as in-- [Her room? She knows nothing could really happen. There's a mental check as he reaffirms that, and then he exhales, letting the tension go.]

Yeah. Okay.

namedfortragedy March 25 2011, 02:17:55 UTC

What? [She's wondering why he was being dramatic about it.... and oh. Well she could remind him about the touching thing. Sure she was getting better about it but, it didn't mean she was going to jump into anything and there was his thing to take into account. Teasing Bruce seemed like a better plan though.]

Oh. Bruce I wasn't trying to trick you into giving me your innocence. The fact your mind went there though... [She grins.] now I don't know if I can trust you. Too bad. I always wanted to have a sleep over.

gamma_effect March 25 2011, 05:00:40 UTC

Giving you my... [Just, the face in the icon.] A sleepover with me? You already had one with Candy.

[Yeah Bruce has no idea how to deal with this.]

namedfortragedy March 25 2011, 05:07:44 UTC

Your innocence. [Like he didn't know. Okay she's just having fun at this point.]

And that doesn't count. She just passed out on my bed. I want a legitimate sleepover. Do you think you can keep yourself under control long enough for that to happen?

gamma_effect March 25 2011, 05:20:42 UTC

I veto any hair braiding or romcom watching. You've emasculated me enough.

namedfortragedy March 25 2011, 05:35:57 UTC

Deal. Your hair isn't long enough to braid anyways and you'd just make a mess of mine.

[She laughs.] And I prefer martial art movies for the record.

gamma_effect March 25 2011, 06:08:43 UTC

[Slight smile.] That I could be persuaded to.

namedfortragedy March 25 2011, 14:51:27 UTC

[That earn a real smile from her. Okay she might not have been totally kidding about always wanting a sleepover. She was a young girl at some point... probably.]

Okay. Just pick any martial artist turned actor you can think of. I've got all their movies.

gamma_effect March 25 2011, 14:59:46 UTC

[Make that definitely. Bruce is more than willing to indulge her when he has to leave for his adventure tomorrow.]

Jet Li? I stayed in a hostel once that had the second Once Upon a Time in China. I always wondered what happened in the first.

namedfortragedy March 25 2011, 20:30:33 UTC

Good choice. [She's finally letting go of his hand to start searching through her entertainment center. Not that it's much of a search since Elektra always did keep everything in a specific order.]

Don't worry I won't spoil it for you. Just be warned that none of the fights in this one are going to top the last fight in the second movie.
