The Shadow's Ghost

The Next Day

   You woke up early with a slight headache and remembered last night as you saw Renee next to you. Damn this woman will test your resolve and self control but she sure was beautiful. You walk out to the kitchen to make some pancakes. If she wakes up you at least wanna have something for her to eat, and luckily given your last line of work you learned you be a good cook. You add vanilla chocolate chips blueberries and a small amount of strawberries in your pancakes to make them really pop.

   "What's that smell? Where am I?" You hear Renee from your bedroom. She stumbles out of your bedroom with a hand on her head. She sees you and her eyes go wide. "What the hell did you do to me? What happebed last night?"

    "It's not like that." You say and explain what happened. "I made pancakes." You slide her a plate stacked with pancakes and take a jar of syrup out of the oven. Warm syrup is the best you think to yourself.

      "I- thank you for making sure I was okay last night, and the pancakes." If you didn't know any better you'd say she was blushing... It's probably just the hangover you tell yourself. Though you wouldn't mind- no she's sober now no way. She looks up at you and smiles gently.

   That smile could undo a man. "No problem, what kind of a man would I be if I let a woman too drunk to walk go home on her own?" You brush it off like nothing though your heart skipped a beat every time you thought about it.

     "No need to act humble about it. How can I thank you?" Is this really the woman who tried to kill you a few days ago?

    "Just, try to stay safe, also I want you on my team every match." Renee looks surprised.

     "Really? After I was such a raging bitch?" She blinks in shock.

    "I mean, you do make a pretty cute raging bitch." She punches your shoulder and you chuckle. To your surprise she's smiling.

     "And you make a handsome dickhead." She chuckles as it's your turn to punch her shoulder.

   "No, I make a handsome badass." You give her one of Eliott's classic movie star smiles and she laughs, food falling out of her mouth which causes you to laugh too. She reaches to slip your mask down and you reach to stop her. She hesitates and you relax. "Okay." She slips your mask off your face and kisses your cheek.

    She laughs as your face turns redder than a tomato and you rush to put the mask over your cheeks to hide your blush. "You should take that thing off when we're not in a match, you're even more handsome without it." She holds your hand under hers as you remove the mask with your free hand. She leans to kiss your cheek again and you smile this time. She smiles back at you and giggles as you pick her up to kiss her forehead. "Put me downnnnn." She whines.

     You chuckle and let her down. "Fine, but I expect more later." You wink at her as you sweep up the dishes and begin cleaning them.

     When you finish you turn to see her curled up on your couch in shorts and a T-shirt. Your T-shirt. It's the cutest thing you've seen in your life. Your little Tsundere that would kill a man for glancing at her the wrong way. Or a woman for glancing at you if you're reading the room correctly. You sit down nex to her and put your arm over her shoulders. This isn't anything you would have imagined happening but hell, you weren't complaining. You felt like you were in heaven. She leaned into your chest and you kissed the top of her head. What a great surprise today has been so far. To make things even better you had the whole day to yourselves if you wanted it.

    You weren't sure about Renee but you wouldn't mind spending your entire day like this. "Y/n?" The sound of her voice snaps you back to reality.

    "Yes?" She looks up at you and you can't help but brush your thumb along her cheek.

    "Can we watch a movie or something?" You smile down at her

    "Of course." She smiles and you chuckle then kiss her. Her lips are so soft and silky smooth. You turn on some action movie and she leans farther into you.

        Time skip 95 minutes.

     The movie ends and Renee looks up at you. "Did you like the movie?"

    You know it's gonna be cheesy but you reply. "Did you watch it with me?"

    "Yes?" She sounds confused.

    "Then I loved it." You kiss the top of her head and she giggles.

    "Cheesy ass." You laugh and before you know it the beautiful mysterious woman next to you has climbed into your lap and was making out with you. Her hips grinding against yours is driving you out of your mind with desire.

     "That was fast." You say into her lips and she smiles.

     "Sorry, I couldn't contain myself any longer."

      "Don't apologize." You run your hands up the beautiful phase shifter's back and under her shirt. The feeling of her bare skin drove your mind to places you've never reached before. Sure you've had women. Plenty of them. But none could compare to her. Something about her just drove you wild.

    "May I?" She tugs at your shirt and you lean forward as to allow her to remove it then follow suit with hers. The curvature of her stomach and breasts leave you speechless. Such utter beauty unlike anything you'd ever seen before. She runs her hands down your muscular and scarred chest, playing with every past stab and slash wound. Every healed up bullet hole.

    "Shit, Renee." She presses her chest to yours and your mind goes haywire.
