The Wave to Recovery (pjoxyj)

chapter 3

"Team, meet in the main room. I have a mission for you guys." Batman's voice travels through the intercom, interrupting my attack on the punching bag.

After joining the team, I visited my mom because she would freak out if I didn't check in. I filled her in on everything that was happening, and after attacking me with all her worries she was cool with it. I also managed to teach Estelle how to say fuck- by accident- and she lost it. Before realizing how messed up our lives were and had the exact definition of 'meh' on her face.

Getting back, we had a little movie night to have a team bonding experience. Which resulted in popcorn thrown everywhere, and our throats raw from laughing and shouting at each other. I honestly feel kind of bad for Connor with all the noise we made. Kinda.

Sunday, we had a nice day relaxing. Everyone shared their life story- and only after did I admit I knew everything already from hacking into the database. No doubt there were some shocked faces, but they got over it- eventually.

Yesterday, I had to go back to school, since that was still a thing. However, I decided to stay at the base for a while because I was lonely at my apartment. We trained some more, and I explained my powers but didn't talk about their origin. The team respected that, knowing I had an important reason. Look at them being all mature.

Making my way from my room to the main area, I joined up with some of the team. We arrived, and soon after Batman decided to fill us in.

"With Percy new on the team, we're going to start off a little small so that she can get the hang of things. There's a drug cartel that's been drawing a lot of attention lately, and I need you to take them down before anyone gets hurt. You guys leave in 10." He states, and leaves us to get ready.

"A drug cartel, huh? This is gonna be fun." I smile enthusiastically at the rest of the team. During my time after the war I took down a lot of gangs and organizations. I was bored and wanted some action. I would usually join undercover and break them apart from the inside out before they even realize I was a threat. Good times.

..

I look at the mirror as I tie back my hair into a ponytail. My tight fitting shirt matching the black of my hair. Army green cargo pants cover my legs, making my sea green eyes pop with its dull color. Black doc-like-boots encase my feet that are both flexible and cool-looking. I look badass. Hell yea!

I open the door to see Red exiting his room from across the hall. His usual superhero outfit is on, the one I drooled over during our first meet. We lock eyes, after finishing eye-raping each other. The intensity of our gaze makes me look away and turn my back to him to close my door.

As I lock the door, warm hands grip my waist and pull me towards a muscular body. My breathing gets heavier as I feel the ridges of his body against my back, and his warm breath fanning down the side of my neck.

"You look hot in that outfit." I hear in a deep husky voice, his mouth right by my ear. He uses the advantage of his mouth's position to place a soft, lingering kiss right behind my ear.

I struggle to even out my breaths as he pulls away and walks down the hall, acting like nothing just happened.

We've been teasing each other for the past couple days, both of us too prideful to give in. I've been learning and studying his weak spots, as he does the same. He's already discovered my intense reaction to neck kisses, and used it to his advantage multiple times already.

Though I haven't found his ultimate weak spot yet, dicks are always successful in teasing a male.

The team no doubt has caught on our little game, even placing bets on who would give in first. It's been the topic of a lot of fun conversations we've had.
