He opened his eyes again, looking up at the ceiling.

“You still there?” she asked softly.

"Yeah. I'm here."

“Ok. Just checking if you fell asleep over there.” she semi-teased.

He laughed a little. "No, not yet."

“You tired?” she asked, raising a brow slightly at the yet.

"A little."

“Well, don't let me keep you up.” she chuckled softly. “I’m just doing some of my computer consulting right now, and I'm planning on a night patrol.”

"Mmph. Right. I might…go to bed in a bit, then."

“Alright.” she nodded with a soft smile. “Well, anytime you want to talk about anything, feel free to call me.” she assured him.

"Alright. Thanks." He said softly. "And…thanks for…I don't know. Everything, today."

“It’s no trouble.” she smiled, blushing a little. “And… you're welcome. You take care.”

"You too. Goodnight."

“Good night.” she said softly, letting him be the first one to hang up.

He hung up after a moment. He sat still for a little, then got up and got ready for bed.

“I love you.” she whispered once she was sure the call was ended and took off the earpiece as she went back to work.

He headed to bed, closing his eyes and waiting for sleep to claim him.

Jade continued to solve other people's computer problems, with a couple of phone calls when necessary, for a few more hours before opening her door and tried to get some sleep before she went out to do hero work.

Killian fell asleep, curled in his bed.

Jade made sure to set an alarm before she managed to fall asleep. She didn't want to miss her last chance for the day to do what she was really good at and passionate about.
