Figuring It Out

"Wait, so what exactly is the plan indefinitely?"

"I'm not completely sure about indefinitely, but the plan for now is for you both to come stay at the Baxter Building with us for a while I run tests, and your brother and I work on your tech, try and get to know the others." I nod with a smile looking forward to getting to know everyone but best of all, get to know Johnny. We get to the Baxter Building and I take a deep breath looking around. This is going to be my home for a while.

"So let me show you to your rooms. Get settled in and I'll check up with you later." Reed showed us to our rooms, I put my stuff away, grabbed some towels, and headed to the bathroom to get a quick shower. After a while when I'm finished with my shower, I walk out of the bathroom in a tank top and shorts, towel drying my hair.

"Hey there Wolfie. So, are you like a werewolf or some sort of shapeshifter?" Johnny grinned as I took a deep breath and let out a slight laugh.

"It's South-Wind Wolf, but since we just met I'll let that one slide. I unfortunately am a werewolf." I nod as I can see the confused look on Johnny's face. "I, like you, obtained my power through an unexpected occurrence. I was attacked in the woods by a werewolf but instead of it killing me or making me hell-bent on revenge, I chose to use the power I was left with to fight for the defenseless against power-hungry, egotistical villains, much like Dr. Doom. Guys like him tend to have a huge ego and a small-"

"I see that you are settling in pretty well." Johnny was holding back a laugh at my little reference to Doom as our conversation was cut a bit short when Reed walked up to check in on things.

"I am, thanks." I grin and look at Johnny. "So, when will we begin with the tests?" I inquire looking at Reed.

"Since it's been a bit of a crazy day I'm going to give you tonight and we will start running those tests tomorrow morning."

"How come I could hear your voice when you were in your wolf form? I guess that's what you'd call it." I nod slightly afraid to open up about the situation quite yet. Afraid if I told him that it'd freak him out or scare him off.

"In time, hot ass." I grin and he crosses his arms but can't help but grin.

"Been looking at my ass, huh?" I can't help but bite my lip.

"Hey, what can I say? I like what I see." I smirk.

"So, South-Wind Wolf? That's an oddly specific one." I grin a bit and take a deep breath.

"I was born and raised in the south. Hey, Howdy Wolf just didn't click."

"Well then, that certainly fits. Can I call you South?"

"Just call me Blakeleigh or Blake or Leigh, whichever works better for you." I bite my lip and he smiles.

"Well then, Blakeleigh, you can call me Johnny or J or hot ass, whichever works best for you." I giggle a bit.

"Well, Johnny I'm looking forward to getting to know you."
"Wanna get some pizza?"
"Sounds good to me." I smile.
'She is cute, she's funny, has a beautiful smile. Has an infectious smile. I think I'm falling for her.' 

'Little do you know, hot ass.'

"Alright so, it looks like the source of your powers is a werewolf bite. That's what I'm gathering." I cross my arms a bit and nod.

"Unwillingly. I was attacked and now, I fight crime with some of the greatest heroes today as South-Wind Wolf." I grin as I subtly side-eye Johnny as he stares me up and down.

'Like what you see, hot ass?' I grin mind linking with Johnny and grin at the apparent blushing on his face.

'I truly do. Thinking about what's underneath those clothes.' I take a deep breath and thank God he has seemed to have caught on to my ability.

'Keep it in your pants, Storm.' I hold back a laugh as Ben gently beats on Johnny's back who had taken a sip of his drink as I had thought what I had.

"Geez flame brain, you good?!" Ben questioned as I stood there with an innocent look on my face.

"Never better," Johnny smirks as he cuts his eyes at me.

'I could think of other places for it.' I suck my bottom lip in as my cheeks then slightly pink.

'Touche!' I see Kayson carefully watching us with an eyebrow slightly raised.

"Not my circus, not my monkeys, I don't want to know!" Kayson groans slightly.

'Alright, I have to know.'

'Tell you later, somewhere private.' Johnny gets a smirk raising his eyebrow as I fight the urge to backhand him in the back of the head.

AN: so I have decided to put thoughts in italics so you'll know when they're having a mind-link conversation or just for their thoughts in general. I hope y'all are enjoying this story as much as I am writing it.
