Into the Void

Chapter: 1 You want to fly?

"Here alone tonight Kai?"

"Yeah Jordan, Here alone again. Why'd you ask?"

"Well, You were talking to that cute girl last week at the bar. What happened to her?"

This almost struck a nerve with, Kairi. The Valkyrie, the high flyer of the Apex games. She thought intently about the question from the bartender as she turned her back to him. Still holding her bottle of beer she drank long and thoughtful swigs as she stared down the bar at the women that lined it. Her thoughts pulled and jerked around in several different directions as she hopped from face to face until her gaze finally landed on one. A pale girl, with long, black and silky hair. She was dressed up tonight for a change, a black glitter lines dress with thin straps that hung off her shoulders. She was absolutely beautiful, Kairi knew the risk of this but she also didn't care.

"Hey Jordan. See that girl down there? Is that who I think it is?

The man turned his attention to his friends gaze as his heart sank as the realization hit of who it was was. Turning back to Kairi he looked troubled.

"I know what you're thinking girly, Don't do it. You KNOW she's with Anita. You know what could happen to you if you even attempt it? Let alone if you manage to do something with it! Are you crazy?"

"Yeah Jordan, I am. I also chase crazy you know that! Now check her bill and get her another of whatever she ordered and put on my tab."

"You going to actually pay your tab this time?"

The bartender turned away from the computer system after ringing up another order for Wraith and putting it on Valks tab. And sighed as he leaned up and against the counter tapping his fingers as he watched his friend walk towards the girl.
---------------------------------------------------------

"I didn't order another drink though. Why am I getting this?"

The pale skinned girl asked as she looked up at Jordan as he placed another drink in front of her. Instead of responding he simply gave a half hearted smile, his thoughts still clearly weighing on his mind as he watched his friend walk up and lean her back against the bar. This time however, it was next to Wraith. He thought to himself as he gave a small sigh looking back and forth between the two before his eyes rested on Valkyrie. He gave her one last nod as he slipped away leaving the two to talk amongst each other but this didn't mean he wasn't unaware. He sat at the end of his bar and leaned against the cold granite watching closely.

Valkyrie, with a certain swagger to her movements as she slid next to Wraith and leaned in beside her as she took another short but greedy gulp from her bottle. Dressed in her long black and green jeans, a black blue shirt and her chunky black boots she gave her a gentle smile as her scanned the pale girls face. Wraith couldn't help but feel almost intimidated as she looked from Valk to the drink she had bought her. She also couldn't help herself in thinking how attractive she actually found her. But she was already with Bangalore! How could she think this way? But still, she reached forward with a slow hand and slipped her hand under the cup. Grasping it, she lifted it up to her mouth slowly and soon held it with both hands as she took a sip. Beaming at Valkyrie after the fact.

"Who loves ya baby? That's right, me!"
It wasn't really a question as Valkyrie herself already knew the answer. Reaching forward with her bottle she set the rim under Wraiths chin and lifted her head up to look at her as she was much shorter than her. Wraith couldn't help but to turn a soft pink with her cheeks as she held the beaming stare. A not so toothy, not so wide yet a real smile.

"Love me huh? You hardly know me. You've only been here a few months.."

"See, that may be true. But I know what I like, and I'm normally pretty confident in my own decisions as you already know. Even after only knowing me for a few months."
