Paired on assignment.
That was the last thing you would have thought brought them together.
Killer Frost and Deathstorm. The duo that embodied the idea that opposites attract. They were literally fire and ice, and Reverb thought it was kind of hilarious.
They were out, had hit the streets as instructed, and Deathstorm had barely touched her shoulder with his hand when she harshly jerked away with a hiss of "Don't touch me." He had held up his hands in surrender, his jacket dangling from one.
"Hey relax." He smiled crookedly as she warily looked at him, "You looked..." he paused, "cold." He finished, there being a lack of word choices. (He had heard she seemed sensitive about being a meta.) "Just wanted to see if you wanted my jacket." He held it out in offering. An eyebrow was raised, and he was secretly pleased that the beautiful girl hadn't snapped or jumped away again. "I don't need it. I'm like a human heater." His laugh was soft and deep as he chuckled.
"Here." In one swift motion he had placed the jacket around her shoulders. She looked almost like a deer in the headlights as she stared at him, frozen in place with his warm leather jacket now weighing on her shoulders.
"Thank you." She murmured, drawing into herself a little while still meeting his gaze.
"I've got you partner." And this time, she smiled with him before he put his arm over her shoulders in a half hug as they walked off to their assignment.
