Finnlay MacTyre AKA Smoke Screen & Jocelyn Victoria Beatrice Harmon AKA Tonic
Location: Alistar's Hideout
Finnlay was trying his absolute best to keep his anger in check and not go into fight mode at what he was hearing. He had felt his blood boil at hearing what had happened to Jocelyn and was worried by the fact that she was now a wanted felon. But what pissed him off the most was the idea that shield had been watching everyone in this room secretly. Not that it surprised him at all but then this “Former” agent tried to make it sound like they were any different from Hydra. As far as Finnlay was concerned they were the same thing with different names.
The next thing Finn knew the women known as Ave was slammed up against a wall by the demon and was being interrogated/ tortured. He wasn't sure what was going on but he could tell is was painful. Looking back up to the front trying to calm himself he saw Sling looking at him as if trying to figure out were he had seen him before. As he kept his eyes on Sling and the others in the room Finnlay felt Jocelyn's hand leave his and start to wards the demon and the Hydra agent. As she began looking back at him he began to instinctively reach for his pistols.
I glanced over at Finnlay as I finished healing Ava and giving Alistar the I-am-so-disappointed look. He was reaching for pistols. I know that look.
Nope. I have had it with the blood around me. I have a headache and my spirit hurts. I absolutely need a recharge and Finn needs to calm down. I walk over to Finnlay and lean my head on his chest and whisper.
“I need to rest and we need to talk about Boston and me moving in. Please tell me that offer is still on the table.”Finnlay for a moment felt all the anger in him melt away as Jocelyn grabbed him. He let go of his grip on his pistols and decided to let it go for now. Looking down at her he could tell that she was extremely tired which he suspected must have been a side effect from her ability.
“Of course go hálainn.” He said with a smile on his face.
“Let's go sit you down for a bit.” after finishing he picked Jocelyn up bridal style and proceeded to walk out of the room as he gave one last glare back as if telling the people inside not to mess with him. He continued to walk until he found the lounge where he could lay Jocelyn down. After he had laid her down he placed a hand on her head.
“Are you alright?”I was not expecting him to scoop me up and carry me off but neither was I complaining.
“Yes. Now. How about you? I know some of this is bothering you. Plus we need to get back to Boston soon. Work waits for no one.” I scoot over hoping he'll take the hint and sit or lay down with me.
Finnlay sat down next to Jocelyn and let out a heavy sigh.
“I'm just trying to get my head around all this.” he placed both his hands on his forehead as he laid all his weight into them.
“I mean in the other room there is a Hydra agent, a shield agent, and a fucking demon.” he just shook his head.
“Takes all kinds huh? We really don’t have room to talk though. I am exhausted and I need a bed. Tomorrow we need to talk about Boston...and us.” I can barely keep my eyes open and I roll toward Finnlay knowing he’ll take care of me.
“Aye we do.” He said in a low voice making sure not to disturb her as he knew she would be falling asleep. He continued to sit for a moment questioning whether or not to take her to a room but quickly realized he had no idea where that would be. Taking a last look at her he gave out a sigh and took off his jacket putting it over top of her to give her some kind of warmth.
I fell asleep quickly but woke up screaming and sweating. Nightmares again. I quickly take a deep breath. In through the nose out through the mouth. Damnit. Hydra. Weapon X. I shudder and roll my neck as I sit up fully still on the couch. I look around and decide to wander. Maybe I’ll find a kitchen or a bathroom. I don’t know the layout of this place at all. Guess I should have asked Alister about it before I walked off. Standing I realize my shoes are off and I’m running around barefoot. I shrug and stand up stretching.
Finnlay shot awake when he heard Jocelyn scream in her sleep. He had been sitting on the floor with his back pressed against the side of the couch that Jocelyne had been sleeping on. He had instinctively reached for his knife and listened for the sound of a intruder but was surprised to hear nothing. Looking around the corner of the arm he saw Jocelyn walking away in a sort of lost way. “The hell is wrong with her?” He thought to himself watching trying not to let her know he was awake.
After wandering for about five minutes I found a bathroom. Clean towels and soaps like it was a posh hotel. To be fully honest I found the bathroom in an empty room, like a hotel. I was already up so might as well look presentable or the bath would soothe me to sleep. Strange how nothing was locked but its not my house and I’m not questioning it. Running a nice bubble bath with hot water I kept the door cracked to hear in the other room. I’d gotten so used to it that it was second nature for me to think nothing of it by keeping the door open a little bit. I got ready as the bath got ready and slipped into the massive tub and sighed as I settled in.
Finnlay sat and listened to what Jocelyn was doing. To his surprise he could hear the running Water of what seemed to be a bathtub. Figuring she was fine he began to go to sleep again until he felt his phone buzz in his pocket.
“Bloody hell this better good” he said to himself as he grabbed the phone answering it. He was surprised at who was on the other end.
“Aye Jimmy it’s me.”
“I know. I know.”
“Hey look the docks are taken care of. You won’t see them down there again, and if you do I will handle it again.”
“I need you to do me a favor. I’m gonna need a sit down with da kings as soon as I get back.”
“It’s a long story.” With the door open I vaguely heard the one sided conversation. Finnlay must have followed me. Not that I minded. Well not fully...okay so I am not experienced at all. Which was understandable when you were afraid that you could kill someone by touching them. I looked at the massive amount of bubbles in the bath and I was pretty well covered up fully except for my head.
“Finn? That is you isn’t it?” “Yes it’s me. Sorry I was just making sure you ok.” He said as he covered his phone so the other side wouldn’t hear it. He then when very stiff at the realization that he had been having this conversation without realizing that he wasn’t in his own home.
“Dammit it to hell!” He said under his breath holding she wouldn’t hear.
“I’m sorry for disturbing you.” He finished by hanging up the phone as he began to walk back towards the couch.
I hear him shuffling around and I remember that I did not bring in my bag and of course now I want it.
“Can you grab my bag? I really don’t want to have to walk around in dirty clothes or a towel. You might expire of a nose bleed if I do run around in a towel. You’d be doing yourself a favor...these towels are really small.” I grin since I am teasing him. The towels are no shorter than some of my shorts that I wear regularly.
I am really trying to get into the swing of not sounding as British as I normally so. Blunting the accent so to speak and using contractions at the very least. I tilt my head back getting my hair wet knowing that I will be washing it as soon as the bubbles go away.
Finnlay stopped at the sound of Jocelyn’s voice through the door. He laughed slightly
“Don’t flatter yourself darling, but I will happily grab your bag.” he said heading over to where he had last seen her bag. Grabbing it swiftly he began to casually walk over to the bathroom. He knocked on the door once before entering. When he entered he did his best to keep his averted from where he thought Jocelyn would be standing.
“I’ll just sit it on the counter for you.” After finally finding the counter after some work he said calmly
“Is there anything else the lady would like?” I laugh all humor set aside.
“Yeah. I wanna stop running. I want to be normal. I don't want to think that I'd ever hurt people even by accident. I was so close-” I shake my head and clam up. I am not doing the whole mad scientist routine in front of Finn.
“I'm going to wash my hair now so unless you're wanting to see more skin then you'd better wait in the other room.” I reach down for the mini shampoo bottle that I put on the floor next to the tub. There are still bubbles covering me but I can feel them slide off my back since I am leaning forward.
Finnlay stopped for a moment when he heard Jocelyn’s words. He could tell the sadness laced in the words. He wasn’t really sure what to say at the moment, he wasn’t usually the kind of person to talk about this sort of thing with people.
Being the gentleman he was, Finnlay made sure to walk out of the room and close the door making sure it was secure
“As you wish my lady.” He said before leaving the closed door trying to leave a light hearted tone.
