Arrived – Switzerland

The next morning Raven awoke to the warm sensation of an arm pressing against her side. She turned around and found that she was lying flush against Roy's muscular arm. He was still sleeping, his bare chest rising and falling in regular motion. Azar, this man was gorgeous!

Get a grip, Raven, she thought. Pushing all observations of her teammate aside, she silently slipped out of the bed and went to the bathroom.

Raven emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a towel and her hair still dripping wet when she saw Roy sitting up on the bed.

"Good morning," greeted Roy, "How did you sleep?" he asked.

"Very well, thank you. I didn't even notice that we were flying. And you?" she asked.

"Great, actually. It's comfortable sleeping in the same bed as you," replied Roy. He really did sleep well last night. He had watched Raven fall asleep before he himself fell into a peaceful slumber.

"That's good. You can have the bathroom now, I'm done," she told him.

Roy grabbed some clothes and headed to the bathroom.

Raven decided to wear a fitted cream dress that ended right above the knee and a navy blue blazer with white trim. She walked out the bedroom to review the information on her communicator.

Roy emerged from the bedroom wearing a navy blue suit and a turquoise tie that matched his eyes. Raven mused that he looked very handsome and distinguished.

Roy sat down opposite Raven at the table and asked for a coffee and a continental breakfast from the flight attendant. Raven was already drinking her tea and a mini croissant sat on her plate in front of her.

"I was reviewing our background story," started Raven once the flight attendant left the room. "It is not far from our real scenario, well except to the dating and marriage part. We met four years ago through mutual friends and have been friends since. We started dating a year and a half ago before marrying last month. I am working on a dual degree in English language arts and chemistry at Jump University. Any questions?" asked Raven.

"I understand you would be interested in English language arts but I didn't know you were interested in chemistry," said Roy.

"It is not too different from spells. A combination of chemicals are combined and under controlled conditions, a reaction takes place," said Raven. "I actually have completed some English literature and chemistry courses at Jump U, but I still have a few more to do before I get the degrees."

"Now it is my turn to be surprised," said Roy. "I didn't know you were studying at Jump U. What are your favorite classes?

"Organic chemistry and now recently I really enjoy surface chemistry," replied Raven.

Beauty and brains...shit I am in trouble...thought Roy. The flight attendant returned with the coffee and breakfast for Roy. They ate and then prepared for the landing at EuroAirport.

They were silent during the drive to the boutiques in the hotel's complimentary Rolls Royce. Raven was reviewing the information on the communicator and Roy was deep in thought. He knew his feelings for his good friend and teammate were serious. She found him when he overdosed and was by his side during rehab. It was because of her that he managed to overcome his drug addiction. He owed his life to her and he was making an effort to turn his life around. He left his partying ways and was focused on establishing a respectable life outside the hero business. But was it enough to get Raven to notice him and to take him seriously? He wasn't sure.
