Connor: Part 1

113

As they walked to by a park, Luka turns her head to a pair of swings that were free and smiles, grabbing Connor's hand, making him stop walking. "Huh?" Connor mutters as he turns to her. "Come on, push me on the swing!" Said Luka. Connor looks at her before smiling. They walked to the swings and when Luka sat on one, Connor began pushing her on it, making Luka go high on the swing, but Connor makes sure to not push too hard. Connor pushed Luka on the swing for a while, when suddenly, Luka jumped off the swing, landing on her feet, beginning to walk away but stops before getting too far. "Connor...thanks for today, I needed this." Said Luka. "Me too...I had fun." Said Connor. Luka looks down before approaching him, as she spoke. "Connor, did you ever wonder why I asked to hang out?" Asked Luka. "Huh? Cause we're friends?" Asked Connor. "Well, yes but--" Before she finished, Luka trips, falling forward as she lets out a scream, but Connor caught her, holding her to his chest. Connor looks down at Luka, who looked up at him, a blush on her face. "You ok?" Asked Connor. "Y-Yeah..." Luka mutters. Connor looks at Luka as she seemed to be lost in her gaze. "Um...what were you saying?" Asked Connor. "Huh? Oh...um...I can't remember." Said Luka. Connor looks at her before noticing she was beginning to get closer to his face. Connor felt his face heat up from under his mask, making it not noticed. Luka got closer and closer, about to kiss him, when...

"Connor?" A voice spoke. Connor and Luka blush as they jump back, looking to the side to see Maggie, looking at them. "Oh, um, hey Maggie." Said Connor. Maggie looks at Connor and Luka before speaking. "Am I interrupting something?" Asked Maggie. "Um...kind of...we were having a day out." Said Connor. "Huh...like a date?" Asked Maggie. "Huh? Oh um...I...I guess? I mean it was more of a hang out but it depends on how people see it." Said Connor. Maggie looks at Connor, noticing Luka blushing with a smile when she heard Connor call this a date. Connor then spoke again. "Anyway, what's up?" Asked Connor. Maggie was silent for a moment before speaking. "Can we talk in private?" Asked Maggie. Connor tilts his head before nodding. "Ok." Said Connor. Connor then turns to Luka. "I'll be right back." Said Connor. Connor and Maggie then walks from Luka, stopping a good distance to make sure Luka doesn't here. "So, what's up?" Asked Connor. Maggie looks at Connor before speaking. "So...who's she?" Asked Maggie. Connor looks in confusion but then it clicks as he smirks. "Why? You jealous?" Asked Connor. Maggie blushes as she looked away. "No, I'm not." Said Maggie. "Your talking to a crime fighter who knows if a criminal lie just by looking at their eyes...want to lie again?" Asked Connor. Maggie hits Connor's arm, making him laugh. Connor looks at her before noticing Luka, also looking pouty as if she's jealous. 'Damn it...don't tell me.' Connor thoughts to himself.

"Maggie, what do you need? If you just pull me here to be jealous, I'll get back to Luka." Said Connor. Maggie looks at Connor before sighing spoke. "Connor...I know about what you said and I will listen but...if I were to be in danger...would you save me?" Asked Maggie. Connor looks at her before speaking. "Maggie...I can't lie to you...I TRULY would if I could...but I can't just promise if I can't keep it...I would if I could...but I can't promise." Said Connor. Maggie looks at Connor, seeing the pain in his eyes. "That's why I don't want you there if things go south...I would protect you when I can...but I can't always." Said Connor. Maggie looks at Connor before gently pinching his sleeve, smiling warmly. "Connor...that's ok...I'm just happy to hear you would." Said Maggie. Connor looks at her before smiling. "I...I got to go...I'll see you later." Said Maggie. "Yeah...see you later." Said Connor. Maggie walks away as Connor went back to Luka. getting to her, Connor saw that she looked pouty still. Connor sighs as he wraps a arm around her, making Luka blush. "If I wrap my arm around you while we continue our hang out, will you stop sulking?" Asked Connor. Luka looks down. "I ain't..." Luka mutters. "Oh really? Then I guess I'll let go." Said Connor. Luka suddenly grabs Connor's arm, keeping it around her. "No." Said Luka. Connor smirks. "Ok boss." Said Connor. From there, they walked around the park for a bit, before leaving, walking down the street, heading home, but Luka suddenly stopped. "Oh! I just remembered! I needed to go to the bank." Said Luka. "Huh? The bank?" Asked Connor. "Yeah...my mum asked me to cash in her check for her since she was too busy to do it." Said Luka.
