~A few hours later~

Lavender and Rory were still sitting in her lab. Lavenders lab was spit in two, the lab and the lounge.  The actual lab side had tons of chemicals and really anything you could think of. The lounge side had a couch, small bed, and a tv. Although they could be in a bed they chose to lay on the couch. Lavender was close, like super close, closer then normal. It kinda scared Rory. Lavender barley broke down, but when she did there was always warning signs. Like small things completely changing the mood, powers getting out of control, and she normally stayed quiet. There were minimal signals, like spacing out or getting close to Rory. Of course only he noticed. He noticed everything when it came to Lavender.

"Hey um you left the door unlocked... and Oliver wants us at my place for something." Felicity said quietly.

"Ok." Rory replied. Felicity closed the door and Rory looked down and Lavender. "Hey."

"I heard."

"I thought you were asleep."

"Not here."

"Really."

"What?" Lavender got up from the couch and put her jacket on.

"You were staying here for a week before you moved in with me."

"Ya and?"

"You're telling me you didn't sleep?"

"N-No."

"Why?"

"Because this is my work place."

"A valid excuse."

"Not like you have any room to talk."

"Don't try and turn this on me."

"Why not?"

"Because i have insomnia and you don't."

"How would you know? We weren't together when Havenrock was nuked. I reunited with you after a year, only because of Oliver and Felicity and they didn't even know about us."

"Because I don't share my personal life with people I barely trust. And I thought you were dead."

"I can't die."

"Yes you can you are mortal till psych dies."

"How do you know she isn't already?"

"Because you don't have control over your magic."

"And how do you know that?"

"Look around you." Around Lavender was a bunch of floating objects.

"What? How?"

"Telekinesis. I found out the other night."

"And you didn't think to tell me?"

"I forgot because I was kinda held captive."

"Ya. Right. Oliver wants us. We should go."

"Right."

After Arrival
"Sorry were late." Lavender said. "What did we miss?" Rory asked. "Just Oliver flipping Curtis over his shoulder." Thea answered. "Had a feeling that a supize party was a bad idea." Lavender said.
After party
Rory and Lavender were on their way home. The car was silent except the sound of the engine. Rory's Lamborghini was quite so as not to be found when running from the police but could be heard if quiet enough. Lavender had her eyes closed and her head leaned back on the head rest. "What are you thinking about?" Rory asked. "Something I really shouldn't be." Lavender answered. "Bet I can guess." Rory said removing one of his hands from the wheel and to Lavender's thigh. "Three guess." "Something about your magic?" "Nope." "Something about the cars or racing?" "Wrong." "Something about me?" "Bingo." "You think about me a lot don't you?" "More than I'm willing to emit." "What type of thought is it?" "That's for me to know and you to never find out." "That just answered my question." "What do you mean?" "You only say that when your thinking perverted thoughts." "I hate you." "From what you were thinking, you love me." "You make my life hard." "But I'm still in it." "Good point." Once they got home Lavender ran the shower and went to grab a change of clothes. "I'm going to hop in the shower. Care to join me?" Lavender teased not expecting Rory to answer. "Sure why not." "Wait what?" "Sure why not." "I-I was joking." "Sure you were. You just didn't expect me to answer the way I did."
Next morning
"Hey Felicity." Rory said as they entered the arrow cave. "You guys have fun last night?" "Lavenders disappointed that I wouldn't go that far." "Likes to take things slow?" Felicity asked Lavender. "Painfully slow." Lavender said. "Hey Rory have you met Barry Allen?" Curtis asked. "No but I'm a huge fan." "Barry Allen's hot." Lavender said. "Was a fan." "And that's how you unfan a fanboy." Lavender said with a giggle. Today was a training day. During the entire day Rory thought it was appropriate to hit on, flirt, and tease Lavender. The day ended with Rory's hand an Lavender's ass. They were about to leave when Curtis called Lavender over. "What's up?" Lavender asked. "What is up with Rory today?" Curtis asked. "Specify." Lavender said. "The flirting, or maybe the hand on the ass." Curtis said. "Ya I thought I was the only one who noticed." Rene said. "I have no idea. Think it might be because I called Barry Allen hot." Lavender said. Rene and Curtis looked at each other. "Ya." They said in unison. "Well I'll see you gays later." Lavender walked away. It took Rene a minute before he realized what she said. "I'm straight!" Rene yelled just before the elevator doors closed. Lavender looked down at her watch. "Are you ready Mr. Black?" She asked. "When I'm I not?" Rory said with a wink. "Ok smart ass." Lavender said playfully rolling her eyes. They arrived at the race way. "So what are we bidding on this race?" Rory asked. "How about pinks slips?" The man asked. "Ok I could just get a new car and have it customized the exact same way." Rory said. "And the girl. And the name. I want to be New Mr. Black." The man said. "That's a big title, and I'm not sure you could handle my girlfriend." "Afraid you'll lose?" "Deal." They got in their cars and lined up. Lavender heard the terms and was glaring at Rory through the windshield. He was to focused on the road to look at her. For the first time ever. He didn't look at her before the race. The flags dropped and the men were gone. The only thing left was the wind in Lavender's hair. Rory had so much on the line to be focused on anything other then the road and the speedometer. The new sensors they had installed were activated signaling that the race was over. Lavender walked over to the woman managing the sensors. "I'm sorry but Mr. Black... Won." She said with a wink. "Oh thank god. That fucking car he put on the line took two years to look like that." Lavender said with a sigh of relief. "Didn't he also put you on the line?" She asked. "Ya." Lavender said looking at Rory as he got out of his car. "I have a feeling that's not going to go well." She said. "Thanks Erudite. Ill see you next race." Lavender said. "Anytime. But remember that amethyst is going to come by in two years." "Ya I remember." "You don't have time to be mad." Erudite said. "You can go now." Lavender said walking away from Erudite. "To bad I lost. Even a night with her would be memorable." The man said. Rory looked at Lavender. She motioned for him to come to her. "I have to go. Good race though." Rory said starting to walk over to Lavender. "We need to talk." Lavender said. "I know I screwed up, but I won." Rory said. "We'll talk about this at home." "Ok then?" Rory asked. "We have 10 minutes till the cops arrive." Lavender clarified. "Better sooner than later." Rory said. "Then let's go."
