Celerity came into the offce just in time to hear Courtney agree to send someone over. She looked up and smiled halfway.
"Oh good! There is a complaint about a witch? Sounds like a prank to me. If it weren't the Courthouse I would have never agreed to send someone over."Celerity raised and eyebrow at her and nodded.
"Yeah, that does sound odd. Why do they think it's a witch?"Courtney shrugged her shoulders and said,
"The guard reported things flying and appearing out of nowhere. That's all I know." "Okay," Celerity hit her comlink to Kieran.
"Feel like going on a mission? I have to find out about a witch at the courthouse."Kieran felt his comlink go off, so he set his sword down and answered the call. When he heard Celerity's voice he smiled to himself, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "
Sure why not. Let me go shower off really quick and change and I will meet you out front." Kieran hung up, shelved his sword, then walked back to his room. He showered, then put on his usual attire. Kieran thought to himself how he needed a new sword as he walked out of his room.
Kieran walked past the reception area, then walked outside to see Celerity waiting for him. "
Thanks for waiting. Where are we headed?"
Celerity blushed a little when he walked outside.
"Looks like the county courthouse is having some..."disturbances". They seem to think it's a witch. I doubt very much that it is but it could be a meta." She gave him an odd look and grinned a little.
"So you took me flying yesterday. I'm thinking that it's your turn to be treated. How about I run you there?" Kieran shuffled uncomfortably. "
Eh....no thanks. I prefer flying to running." Kieran stretched out his wings, loving the feeling of the breeze in his feather, then flew several feet into the air. He was slightly disturbed by super speed, simply because while he could comprehend flying because he has done it his entire life, the ability to
run as fast as she could was just unnerving slightly. It felt....weird.
Kieran flipped once in the air. "
I will race you though."
Celerity chuckled at his response. He knew he couldn't beat her in a race. She knew that super speeding as a passenger made a lot of people sick to their stomach. She grinned and nodded.
"Okay, I'll even give you a head start. "Kieran nodded, knowing he wouldnt win but decided to surprise her. He decided he could show her.....a bit more power. When the sorta sparred, he used zero power and some analytical prowess, and when he defeated the serial killer she had not seen it either. Kieran winked at her, eyes glowing blue, and in the blink of the eye and a big gust of wind he took off flying at about 35% faster than average speed. He didnt think he could win but hell why not spook her, let her know he hasnt tried yet.
Kieran took off, and flew high in the air. It took only a small amount of time, and when he got there he saw Celerity waiting on him.
She chuckled as she watched him land.
"Am I wrong or were you a little faster this time?" She turned her head toward the building when she heard an odd noise. She motioned for him to check out the roof and she went inside the front door stealthily.
"Anything up there?" She asked as she turned the corner inside the building into one of the courtrooms and saw a female that she assumed was a meta using what she could only assume was telekinesis. She had a few humans trapped as she danced her 'toys' around them scaring them half to death. Celerity noticed that one of the women was in tears under one of the benches. She hit her comlink,
"Kieran? I found her. She is in the first courtroom on the left."Kieran flew up and landed on top of the roof and was able to find a way inside the courthouse through a small crack he was able to widen using basic brute strength. Kieran stayed out of sight and out of mind, not responding to Celerity for fear of being discovered. Kieran investigated the odd noises that Celerity heard. When he could see through sneaking a small peak that there was the meta who was causing a ruckus, Kieran hit his comlink. He realized that she had tried to tell him, and he mentally facepalmed for ignoring his comlink. "
Im in position. One of us can cause a distraction, the other can take her out faster than one can blink."
Celerity hit her com and responded.
"You distract her so I can get these people out of here. Then I'll help you if you aren't done with her." Not waiting for an answer Celerity sped in and started removing people. She was so fast she was a blur, a blue blur, and the telekinetic saw her and almost hit her. If it weren't for her forcefield she would have.
Kieran flew in and landed in front of the meta, trying to distract her. He flapped his wings and shielded himself with them whenever the meta flew something at him. Kieran moved forward slowly, waiting for the meta to tire herself out. When he saw the opening Kierans eyes glowed, and he rushed forward pinning the meta against the wall. Kieran was then thrown back from the force of the metas powers but he landed with ease and agility. Kieran readied himself and flew from wall to wall, dodging all in coming attacks. Kieran made sure though that her attention was on him and not the civilians.
Celerity sped into the room after delivering the last of the humans to safety. She dodged the items flying around the room in a nearly funnel shaped swarm. She saw the meta distracted by her counterpart and she snuck up behind the meta. Her forcefield had to come down for her to grab her and as Celerity's hands grabbed her arm the 'witch' turned and hit Celerity with a dark matter blast that sent her spiralling into the wall. Celerity shook it off and jumped back into the fight but now she had no advantage of surprise.
Kieran flew up to the ceiling, touched it, then boosted off of it head barreling into the meta. He knocked her on her ass, disrupting her concentration and temporarily disabling her powers. Kieran shouted when he spoke. "
Now Celerity!"
Celerity hit the meta with her force speres and while she was unable to fight back she grabbed some handcuffs off of the guards on the floor and cuffed her.
"We need to get her back to the hq where her powers can be disabled or when she comes too this will be all for nothing. I'll take her." Pulling the meta into her side she took off and the blue blur had her foe locked up in just a moment or two in the HQ jails.
Kieran sighed and tried to walk out of the courthouse, being swarmed by both regular people and already on the scene reporters. Kieran truly hated having all this attention, and he realized he really loathed missions like this already. People never wanted to see him or have him around before when he did good deeds, so this should not have changed anything. When Kieran was outside he opened his wings and took off, flying off and staying in the sky for awhile. He got on his comlink. "
Hey, did the meta make it to jail?"
Celerity answered a moment later, she was a little irritated. As she had set the meta down in the jail cell she had reached up and punched her in the face taking her by surprise. She had hit her back and left the meta with a nice shiner on her eye. She hit her com
"Yes, she is...you okay? I noticed all of the crowd outside. Am I the only one who hates all of the crazy attention I get doing this job? Where are you?" She asked him as she grabbed out an ice pack and put it on her jaw.
Kieran answered back. "
I am in the air flying away from the court house. I truly despise the attention we have recieved for our simple good deeds, the deeds being the serial killer thing and now this. Its very.......annoying."
Kieran sighed. "
I will meet you on the roof of the HQ."
"Okay" she responded. Smiling as she went up she wondered if he was going to tell her he didn't want to see her anymore. The thought surprisingly made her sad for a moment. She had no right to assume there was anything between them but the one night so she decided to let him decide what he wanted to do. She swallowed hard and hoped he was just blowing off steam about the media. She got up to the roof and sat down on one of the ledges to wait for him.
Kieran swooped down and landed on the ledge, almost bird like. Pretty comical actually from a third person point of view. He turned around and faced forward, and sat down next to Celerity. He leaned back and propped himself up with elbows. "
I hate reporters and I hate having to...interact with the locals when we do our thing. I wish there was a way to do what we needed to do and get out without being seen. Unfortunately", He said expanding his wings dramatically,"
I cant exactly do that."
She smiled as she looked down the side of the building and nodded.
"It's not always terrible but most of the time I would rather a simple thank you and that be all. This is my job and yes we save lives and all but...I don't know. I guess underneath it all we are just like them with powers. I'd rather be in the shadows than the spotlight." She rubbed her jaw softly for a moment subconsiously.
Kieran laughed. "
If that was the case then maybe you should not have accepted the position of group leader. If anyone was going to be put in the spotlight the most it would be you oh fearless leader." Kieran smiled, moved in a little closer, and put a hand on her leg.
Celerity smiled as his touch made her feel butterflies in her stomach and she felt herself blush.
"I didn't used to mind it so much. Things have changed I guess." She hesitated on whether to say anything to him about it or not. Turning to him she asked
"So I guess you are alright with what happened last night?"Kieran leaned in, bringing his hand further upwards and forcing Celerity down, and kissed her. After a few moments, hand still in place doing what it did, he broke for air and smiled. "
Does that answer your question? "
Celerity turned a new shade of red and she didn't know whether she should say anything or not. She had not expected him to react quite this way. She pulled his hand away and grinned.
"You are lucky I like you or I would have to hurt you for that." She reached up and pulled him back down to her and kissed him deeply.
"Were you upset that I left in the middle of the night?" She asked, her voice a little husky.
Kieran shrugged. "
I mean I dont know. I guess? I didnt plan on sleeping with you, not that I disliked it, so I didnt have any expectations. But I guess if it happend again.....", Kierans voice slightly trailed off, "
Well I will leave it up to you. Speaking of, so you like me huh little miss blushing like a tomatoe?"
Celerity chuckled.
"I can't help it. You got me worked up so it's your fault." She said while she returned the favor.
"You should know that I have never just ended up in bed with someone I just met before. I'm not sure of the rules when things like this happen." She reached for his hand and she sped them into the building and into her room so fast she was worried his head would spin. She leaned up against the wall in there and held him steady til he caught up with his body.
"You still want to kiss me?" She asked him, her voice low and her eyes a little softer.
Kieran pushed Celerity back until he had her pinned against the wall, then deeply kissed her. As he kissed her he removed parts of his clothes and helped her as well.
