Freakshow

"Kid! Get down!" Rossi's voice hurled quickly across the room, but not quick enough.

Before Athena could duck out of the way, a fist flew into her face sending her to the floor as the room around her spun with flashing lights.

"Fucking clowns" she mumbled and tried to crawl away, seeing a hand grasped Rossi's neck and yank him down the twisting tunnel.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

"Get off me you freak!"

She tried to kick the strong woman who had her in her grip so that she couldn't run after Rossi. The woman's head twisted furiously to Athena as she said the word 'freak.'

"Oh shit- I'm sorry, I didn't mean-" Athena tried to apologise in fear before a fist flew down at her, she managed to twist out of the way of the enormous woman who was towering over her in rage.

"Kid!" Rossi's terrified voice ran after her from down the tunnel. Athena kicked up as hard as she could, knocking the woman clean in the jaw and sending her backwards as a 'crack' came from her jaw. Athena didn't have time to feel bad, she could only hear Rossi's voice calling after her.

She ran and slid down the brightly coloured tunnel after him. It twisted and span seemingly out of nowhere with strobe lights almost blinding her.

"Welcome to the family!" A cheerful voice laughed as she landed with a thump onto the floor, she looked up in shock at the crowd around her and then she saw them- her team. She sighed and reached for her gun.

"This is so fucking weird."

"Come on- we're going to be late, again" Morgan gently shook Athena awake as her forth alarm went off.

"They expect me to be late by now, I'll be doing more wrong if I turn up on time" she groaned and tried to pull the covers over her but he pulled them off and rolled his eyes.

"They may expect it of you but not me- come on, I've got a meeting before work and then we've got to get to the doctors appointment first."

"Is that today?"

"Yep- you've got 15 minutes to get dressed or I'm leaving without you" he placed a soft kiss on her lips and going to head downstairs, before he could Athena pulled him back to her lips by the collar of his shirt.

"You're dressed awfully fancy for someone who wears jeans and a t-shirt everyday" she teased him as she pulled back slightly from the kiss, he chuckled and lent back in.

"Oh so now you want to kiss me? What happened to 'stop trying to make out with me every 5 minutes, we're going to be late again'" she mocked which made him throw his head back with laughter before looking back down at her, his eyes flicking to her lips.

"I can make an exception this time just for that spot-on impression of me" he teased and tried to lean back into the kiss but she slipped out from under him playfully.

"Oh come on- now you're being punctual? Come back" he groaned with a laugh as she got out of bed.

"Nope- too late, I'm a changed woman now. No more morning distractions from this gal, gonna be on time to everything and never kiss you again" she teased and went to leave but his hand placed on her wrist and gently tugged her back to him.

She tumbled slightly and fell on top of him, his arms wrapping around her waist and pulling her closer to him.

"Careful or I'll crush you with the bump next time" she joked, he rolled his eyes.
