We Meet Again

Twelve

***This is BB's condo. Nice right? Aye!!*** I hope you can see it properly. I just didn't want to do more than one image so I clustered it together for you.***

(Raven)

Rose dropped me off at this beautiful building full of luxury condominiums. I talking neatly trimmed bushes, a canopy enveloping the entry way, and even a door man.

"I'll be back cuz. I got an alert from Slade. I suppose I'm going to be Hussain's date Friday night. Man I swear, I don't know how many more strange men I'd have to fuck before I throw up! He'd better be cute... and toned! She tried to make light of the situation, but I knew she was disgusted.

"If I don't make it back within the hour, you know you're way back right?" She asked and I nodded. On 'missions' for Scathe, it was not unusual that us assassins had to make our way back on our own. The organization was powerful and all of us, rather high-level members, or the lowest... we were all expendable.

I was extremely nervous. I mean this is the building that my BB resides in, and the new home for our son!

So different from where we grew up, but how funny is it that we are all in this city, at this moment!

Is it fate? Is this how it's supposed to be? Could this be the beginning of our means to an end as friends... family?

I didn't know what the hell I was going to do or say to BB. Who knows, once upon seeing me, he'd get all 'authority' and bring me in to the FBI! I'd go willingly because I love him, but I knew that I wasn't going anywhere until I had Slade's headfirst!

I decided that Rose was off my hit list, at least for now. I still can't trust her. I know that she'd gotten emotional back at the hotel. I mean she gotten the worst end of the stick as a child by her living parent, but she's still his daughter. Even though I knew she wanted him dead, she still had his rath coursing through her veins.

And like him, she is very unpredictable.

I walked pass the doorman, giving him a sweet subtle smile, and walked into an amazing lobby. Then I went over to the mailboxes and saw his name! I started to feel the tears form in my eyes because he's literally an elevator ride away. I reluctantly pushed the button to load onto the elevator, and with a dry mouth and a butterfly filled stomach, I hit the number 4 in the event that I would see the love of my life and our lovely son.

(10 minutes earlier) ...

(BB)

So after we caught Misfit, I decided that I needed to get down to the stores before I gotten lazy. My son needed his room, and this dog needed her shots... which I hoped hurt... heh-heh. Well, she should've ate my shoes and pooed on my floor!

Hey don't judge me!

Jr and I got together and headed out, with the devil dog, and went on our way. I habitually punched both buttons, signaling both elevators, and whichever one came first was the one I got on.

(Writer)

BB's elevator came first. He and Jr got on laughing and making jokes with each other, just connecting as father and son. Raven could hear voices whilst she exited the opposite elevator, not realizing that her family was just feet away. Just as she walked by, BB's elevator closed, leaving her with just a glimpse of his arm, as he turned his body to get the energetic puppy from jumping out of Jr's grasp.

She stood there for a moment, trying to rationalize if that was him... but shook off the thought, and continued walking to his place. On this floor there were only 2 condo's which meant that his was a pretty spacious one, and when she got to his door, knocked for a few minutes... panicking, and got no answer. She pulled out a set of keys to pick the lock with special tools designed to break in without being detected.

"Hello?" She said as she opened the door, and what she saw made her jaw drop. His condo is outstanding! It's a very modern home that had a slight industrial feel to it. Everything was clean and streamline, like an ideal bachelor pad. His space was coordinated with earthly colors... very clean and crisp.

Raven crept around cautiously taking in her surroundings, then when she got to the huge window that looked out at the city, she saw him! He was walking down the street with their son who looks to be holding a puppy.

He smiled at his new experience while and tears ran down her face. She knew his smile from a million miles away!

Genuine, heartful, just...pure happiness!

Then when their son looked up and held the same smile as his dad, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She quietly screamed with delight. There's her boys! Her family! Her life right there!

Raven gathered herself and continued to explore Garfield's home... his new life. She went all over his place to see what he had in his fridge all the way down to the soap that he used on his body. She noticed that he had 3 large bedrooms on the first level, one used as a computer room, and the other a guest, and an upstairs loft that was his fitness room, another full bathroom, and lounge area.

Then she decided to go to his bedroom. She saw that he had a California King size bedroom group and a walk-in closet that housed a variety of styles of clothing. She remembered that BB's a casual kind of guy, so she was shocked to see very nice, collared dress shirts and suits! She couldn't help but to put one of the tidy shirts on, knowing that he's probably gone for a while, and laid on his bed. She enveloped herself in all his essence, hugging herself in his shirt (that hung just at the top of her thighs), to rolling herself up in the comforter on his bed.

Raven was lost in her own thoughts... mostly of her and BB making love in this magnificent bed, that's when his house phone rang. She jumped up like a wild cat. She thought that he'd returned, but when she heard the answering machine... she calmed down.

'Hey... holla back... ah'ight!" Beep...

"Hey B... call me back. We got the results of what was in that syringe." End...

(Raven)

Syringe, what syringe? Rose did tell me that she came here the other day. Did she try to drug BB? Must have. That's what she does, immobilize someone before she has her way with them.

I can't think of that right now. All I wanted was my Gar here with me! I thought, 'Should I stay until he returns?'

However my thoughts were shortly lived when I was summoned by Slade. If he thinks that I'm going to be a prostitute for this mission, he has another thing coming. I answered the call and in a few minutes, I was preparing to leave BB and Jr's home. I put my clothes back on, neatly folded his shirt, laid it on his bed, found a pen and paper and left a note that said...

"I love you!"

-R

Then I left out his home in a very familiar mood... irritation! Slade has interrupted my life yet again! I wanted to hear what he has planned for Friday, so whatever happens to Hussain.. I was going to make sure that Slade received the same fate!

I had to focus. I had to get out of this fantasy that almost push me off my mission. BB would never want the Beast! I felt that as long as my son is safe and loved, and my BB isn't alone and also loved... then I'm okay. Hurry Friday! I'm ready.
