Cinyras saw his prison around him crashed like cheap glass. The debris swirled around him before vanishing in the blue haze. Suddenly his powers flaired uncontrollably, blowing everything around him.

Immediately the haze cleared and he saw Keira. He fell on his knees, fighting for control.

He was barely got back the handle on things when she appeared beside him about to touch him. He knew one touch of her and he'd loose whatever control he had. So he stopped her.

After few minutes he felt like himself again and pushed his hair back from his face. He saw Keira standing few feet away. Her spine straight, shoulder tensed, hands in back pockets, eyes looking anywhere but him.

He knew she was feeling hurt because of the harsh way he spoke before. "Apologies little dark one. I shouldn't have been harsh with you."

"It's okay." she said finally looking at him.

"We must leave this place right away." he said pulling off denim jacket from the dead assassin and putting it on, covering his tattered shirt.

""I think you should take his jeans too." Keira said picking up her bag.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because he peed himself." he said kicking the  dead body aside and walking towards the door.

She followed him hurriedly, pulling out the key card to open the lock but to her dismay Cinyras just flicked his hand and the door burst open. The lock dangling on the wall by red, blue and green wires.

Cinyras kept walking as if he just didn't fried the top security system. She had to practically run to catch up with his long strides. He was already at the main door when she reached by his side, out of breath.

"I don't think.. you'd need keys.. for this one either." she asked between long fortifying breaths.

He just smiled before waving his palm and the  glass door opened without noise. Reveling the metal shutter.

"Very good. What about the other one?" Keira said gesturing towards the shutter with her head.

His smile deepen, showing his dimples as he brought up his hands towards the shutter and closed his fingers into a fist. The metal creaked then the shutter shrunk in a ball of metal.

Alarm started blasting as Cinyras caught her hand pulled her to him saying "Hold tight and don't look down.

"Whaa.. aaa.." before she could finish her sentence, the rush of air took her breath away. One second she was in front of Dan's office building in Cinyras's arms, thinking finally he's going to kiss her or something but in next second her feet were dangling above twinkling streetlights.

"And, close your mouth." she knew he was mocking her but she did just that, before closing her eyes and encircling both her arms around his neck, probably choking him.

"Serves him right." she thought and heard him laugh before he tilted them to one side and burst forward.

Air rushed by her, proof of their great speed. Hair slapped her skin, her's or he's she didn't know. She just buried her face in his chest and held on for her dear life.

Few minutes later he lowered them down. As her feet touched the ground she pushed him away with all her strength. Of course it didn't budge him, only adding insult to the shame her legs didn't find the balance in time and she fell back. Landing on her ass again the second time in two days.

He immediately tried to help her saying "Are you alright?"

She swat his hands away from her. Then stood up glaring at him.
