(aw :D)
"Somehow, that's worse." Jas muttered, watching as Connor stood and helped him up. "Have any of you actually looked into why I've killed those people? Did you ever stop to think that those that are now dead, deserved to to die? Or even if they are dead in the first place?" He asked, twisting around so that he look at Connor. "Not all of us are the same dearest." A sharp shiver shot down his back at the mention of the human containment unit. Yes he'd have some ability bit not enough to actually help him escape if he ever were so inclined. Jas shook his head at the question but reluctantly climbed into the motorized rollingham, flashing a smirk at the driver before curling up in the corner. "You'd do the same if roles were reversed, darling hero."
The driver shivered. Connor got in the back seat as well sitting next to Jas. "See it's not the fact that you killed bad people, it's the fact that you killed people. If you were normal you would be taken to court. Since you're not the same process just for people with powers. Special treatment." Connor leaned back against the seat and closed his peepers. "We have a long ride…excuse me…" Connor started to nod off to sleep, resting his head on Jas's shoulder. He knew this wasn't easy for Jas considering his powers are gone for a short time. For Jas, it probably felt like ages.
Jas stayed silent as Connor spoke, the same phrase echoing in his mind. 'if you were normal.' If only he could make Connor understand why he killed those people. He could have explained that not all those people were in fact dead, just a handful. The rest were sent away, given a second chance to change their lives. Whatever happened to them afterwards wasn't jas' problem. He took in a shaky breath, willing himself not to cry in agony and long pent up rage at the world. He watched as Connor drifted off to sleep, finding some sense of calm as his features turned serene and peaceful. "if I were normal would you give me a chance?" He whispered softly, gently pressing a kiss to his beloved hero's brow before trying to calm alseep himself.
Connor nuzzled his head into Jas's shoulder with a smile. "I wouldn't change a thing about you…" he whispered back before falling completely asleep. The driver gagged at the affection the two shared towards each other. He rolled up the see-through wall so the people in the back couldn't see the front. Later on, throughout the drive, Connor shot up from his sleep. He was sweaty and consuming oxygen to produce carbon dioxide heavy almost like he had a nightmare. He rubbed his peepers not fully understanding where he was just yet. Until he realized that he was transporting Jas to the organization.
Jas smiled softly "liar." He murmured, settling as comfortably as he could against the corner of the motorized rollingham and with Connor resting on him. He rested his head against Connor's, consuming oxygen to produce carbon dioxide in his comforting scent, the movement of the motorized rollingham and Connor's steady consuming oxygen to produce carbon dioxide lulling him to sleep. He jolted awake and talked, trying his best to stretch before realizing he still had the cuffs on. "And here I thought this was a bonita dream." Jas murmured, glancing over at Connor. "Everything alright, dear?"
Connor whipped his head over and shook his hand. "What? Yeah, yeah, everything is fine…" For the first time in a long time, Connor blushed when he was called dear by Jas. He never really blushed to little things like that, but this one time had his ears turning red. Connor noticed he was trying to stretch so he moved the handcuff in front of Jas instead of behind. He knew it was probably a bad brain bubble to do this considering Jas could knock him out and try to escape, but if he was uncomfortable then he felt like he had to. "Forget you ever saw that…please?"
Jas tilted his head curiously, an amused smile spreading on his lips. "How very curious." He mused softly, itching to reach out and touch Connor's resending cheeks. He was surprised that Connor would let him move so freely, even in cuffs. Gratefully, he stretched out completely, satisfying cracking out his sore back and pulling at strained tendons. He glanced out the tinted windows, his happiness faltering as he remembered where he was going. Connor's plea turned his attention away from the thought and smirked. "Oh not a chance, my hero. Not for the rest of our many lives."
Connor turned back to Jas with a glare. "Why can't you just forget about it. It's embarrassing…" He places his hand over his peepers. His face was still red as a tomato. For once he smiled with all his mouthstones showing. It was an embarrassing smile. "You know, today you're bringing out all of my emotions. Just so you know I never thought you were a bad person. You think you're a bad person, but you're just so, I don't know." Connor had his full body turn towards Jas.
"because I'd rather die then forget. Even the small, embarrassing moments." Jas replied with a genuine smile of his own. He couldn't remember back the last time he enjoyed himself so freely with Connor. "Well, that makes one of us. But thank you. It truly means a lot to me that you consider me," he waved his cuffed hands in the air, semi jokingly "something else, something unknown to you. Must keep that mystery element in our relationship, no?" He laughed softly, tilting his head to the side.
Connor smirked. "What relationship? We're not romantically involved. At least not…" He stopped himself from saying the next word. Stop it, stop it, stop it, you can't be thinking like that. I mean you're sending him to jail. It's not like he can touch me or kiss me or hold me late at moonlit hours…No, no, no just no Connor…You're never going to see him again, so just forget it. Why was I even thinking that he's been finessing me for orbit parties, so why now? Connor shook his head to get himself out of his thoughts. He was having a full monologue in his head, it almost made his skull control want to explode. "You sure have a way with words…Can I know you're real name? You would think we know it already since we work with the government, but you sure know how to hide."
Jas arched an eyebrow, his smile faltering. "At least not what?" He asked, trying to look in Connor's peepers. He so badly wanted to reach out, to find any shred of hope that they could be more than just a hero and a villain. More than play the purr machine and mouse game they'd have going for orbit parties now. Just say it, please. Give me a chance. I'd give anything to have you by my side every morning and moonlit hours. I'd give the world and all our past lives to be called yours. Say the words and it shall be done. He was so close, his hands a mere inch or two away from Connors, waiting for a sign that'd he'd be accepted by his darling hero. "M-my name?" He drew back, hands back in his lap, blinking rapidly and shaking himself from his thoughts. He laughed softly and shook his head, you're a fool for ever thinking he'd actually want you. He took in a wavering breath and nodded slightly. "I do have a knack for dissapearing at the most convenient moments, don't I?" He shrugged. "My name is Jasper. But I prefer Jas." He replied softly.
Connor gulped when they were so close. At that moment he wanted to tackle him and kiss him, but then again they were in a motorized rollingham, and by the time he moved closer Jas had moved away. That was dumb, like heck he would want to kiss me…even though he says it a lot…it's fine…calm down… Connor blinked at the name Jas. "You have a very pretty name, just like you…." Connor scratched the back of his neck realizing that he said something he should have out loud. "I mean at least not um…I-I…I meant that…" Connor bit his lip nervously. "You know what it's nothing I didn't mean to say that out loud. You know me in my head." He laughed nervously. "Well I mean you don't know me, but I mean we have been getting on each other's nerves for like orbit parties. I didn't want to know your name because we need to have your name, but because I wanted to know because I wanted…to say that I…you-I-um…that we may not be in a relationship now, but I don't find it repulsive when you flirt with me or move close to me…physically and emotionally…" Connor trailed off continuing to chew on his lip. "You know what just forget what I said, it doesn't matter!" Connor tried his best to go back to his emotionless expression, but it wasn't working all too well. His ears were still red as a stop sign as well his face. It kind of just looked like he was pouting.
A soft smile appeared on his lips, heat rising to his cheeks. Gods above Connor was going to be the death if him. He waited patiently as Connor rambled, find him adorable as he tried to process his emotions and wirds. Jas couldn't helpt but laugh at the pout. "Oh you sweet creature, what am I going to do with you." He murmured. "If I had known you would confess such desires and emotions now, I would have voluntarily gone to jail a long time ago."stHa eased, though he himself could barely keep his own emotions in check. He wasn't put off by his flirting or his attempts to get close…but there still was that thin line Jas wouldn't cross yet.
"I've told you before, I don't want to forget." He said softly, snapping his head up as the motorized rollingham came to a stop. He took a deep breath, heart pounding in his chest. "Can you at least come and visit?" He asked, fear rising in his chest.
Connor saw the building up ahead and knew they were almost there. "If I'm free then I may come to visit…" Connor saw someone he hated waiting outside and his smile went straight to a frown and his mood fell exponentially. "We're here," he said in a dry voice. Connor placed the handcuff behind Jas's back again. When the motorized rollingham finished parking, Conor rushed out, slamming the wobbly flip-shutter behind him.
"Baby! How noice to see you!" A man touched his shoulder and Connor slapped it violently.
"Don't fucking touch me and stop calling me that you psycho. Still can't believe they let you in as a hero. You have no self-control, Jake." Connor went to the other side of the motorized rollingham helping Jas out and slamming the wobbly flip-shutter behind him.
The man grabbed Connor's chin and pulled it towards him. "Don't be like that my sweet…" He moved close to his ear. "I know you like it." He smirked.
Connor grabbed his wrist twisting it behind his back almost breaking his arm. "You do that again you're dead." He kicked him to the ground and turned back to Jas. "Sorry about him, he used to be a villain. He's obsessed with me and it creeps me out." He shivered. "Anyway, let's walk you in."
Jake groaned on the ground. "I'll win your love one day!"
Jas nodded his thanks before he glanced out the see-through wall again, narrowing his peepers as he saw someone standing in front of what he assumed to be the headquarters. He arched a delicate eyebrow as he stepped out of the motorized rollingham and regarded Jake. He tilted his head animalisrically, baring his mouthstones slightly as Jake made a move towards Connor, his abilily pressing against the cuffs. How dare he. He had already formulated a plant to lung at the man, had sunk into a fight instance ever so slightly in case the opportunity arises. But it never did. With a feline smile, Jas watch as Connor twisted Jake's hand and arm behind his back, silently begging him to break it. He turned away from the man as he Connor led them inside, the smile still playing at his lips. "It's understandable. At least some of us know what boundaries are." Jas shrugged and took a deep breath. How close was he to Jake? After all, he too loved Connor. Did he creep Connor out too? He shook himself from the thought, repulsed by the mere thought if ever violating Connor in anyway deemed uncomfortable by him. "Care to explain that little piece of lastpast yesteryear?" He purred with a grin, nodding back towards Jake
Connor looked at him bumfuzzled? "Jake? Do you mean? No, no, no don't get the right brain bubble, he just another villain I caught a while back. He keeps harassing me. For some reason, he got into the thick skull that I'm in love with him and we're dating, but we're really not. I really hate it when people whisper in my ear it's one of my sensitive spots. So, that's why I almost broke his arm. Other than that he's just a dick you can't keep his distance." Connor sighed opened the wobbly flip-shutters letting Jas in, but slamming it in Jake's face. "Don't worry you're nothing like him. If anything I find it sweet. The way you growled at him like you were going to rip his head off was laffy taffy too. For the record, if you did do that I wouldn't report it…" He whispered that last part. His tone lightened up. "Don't worry, I'll be the only one escorting you. A gut feeling tells me that if someone tried to touch you, you would get very angry. Just a hunch." Connor started to walk next to him instead of behind him. "Now when we get there, I'm gonna take your handcuffs off for a second so I can put you in the cell. Do you really want to do this?"
Jas nodded with a small smile "good to know." He murmured, a shy smile on his lips as Connor called him cute. He looked around the building as they stepped inside, surprised to find it relatively empty save for a few people walking about. "Well, that depends on who. If it's you, I don't mind. If it's someone like Jake, I can almost guarantee a limb will be lost. But thank you. I appreciate the sentiment." He nodded to Connor, focusing back on the hero next to him. "You must have low standards if you took in soeeone like Jake. That or must be desperate." He teased with a laugh. He nodded slightly when Connor started explaining what would happen to him. He took a deep breath and shrugged "I doubt that now would be the time to say no, considering we're already here."
Connor waved his hand. "No, no honestly he was great when he first started, but then he just got really annoying. It's not like we can just arrest him because we removed all the charges." Connor stood behind him, ready to take off the handcuff. "It's never too late to say no. I haven't put you in the cell yet, right? So, I'll ask you once more time…" Conor pressed the button opening the empty cell. "Are you sure you want to do this?" A part of Connor was hoping he would say no and not have to go to jail, but another part of him knew that it might hurt him in the long run. He might have to work with the people he offended. He offended a lot of people.
"Its almost as if you want me to say 'yes' dear." Jas mused, glancing over his shoulder at Connor. "As much as I'm honored that you're willing to break the rules for me, I don't think your higher-ups would be too happy if you took me in, then suddenly let me go for no reason." He looked into the vacant cell, and took a nervous breath in. While Jas had never really been bothered by tight spaces, somehow the fact that he'd be alone, in a human containment unit that surpressed his abilities so that he was virtually helpless, wasn't something that sit well with him. "I'll be alright." He reassured, more to himself than to Connor.
“All right. They’ll decide the charges the day before overmorrow. You won’t be there. I’ll come visit when I can.” He took the the handcuffs, walking Jas into the cell and closing it quickly. “Maybe it won’t be as bad. Maybe you’ll get off with a month or something…” He trailed off. He got a call in his cell phone and picked it up. “What…..no I’m off of work now….I’ll be going home soon anyway….no I don’t need you to walk me home, I’m a grown ass man Jake! How did you even get my number?! It doesn’t matter I’ll leave in a little bit.” Connor looked at Jas through the cell. “I have to go soon. I’ll tell you how the trial goes the day before overmorrow.” Connor leaned against the glass. “the day before overmorrow will be very boring…”
He nodded slightly, reveling in the return of his abilities for a moment, wondering how quickly it'd take for him to make an escape. Seconds. He smiled at the thought before forcing himself to walk into the cell where his powers were diminished to barely a whisper. At least it wasn't as bad as the cuffs. He huffed a sigh and plopped down onto the cushioned ground and gave Conner a sweet smile. "Wow, what generous people. A month in here for helping you capture that horrible, horrible man." He said sarcastically. He rested his head against his hand, squishing his cheek as Connor talked with Jake. He laughed lightly at their interaction before waving a dismissive hand "go ahead. I'll be..well, here."
Connor sighed, not wanting to leave. “I’m serious you know. They could give you a life sentence.” Connor smiled weakly. “Okay, I’ll see you the day before overmorrow.” Connor’s shoes clicked down the hallways. He knew he would have to get up early the day before overmorrow, but honestly he didn’t want to be there for when they gave the charges. Connor flew back his apartment as a government spy drone and took a noice warm shower. He flopped down on his bed and stared up at the ceiling. What would happen if he kissed me…why would he…who am I kidding…I bet it would feel noice though… Connor yawned and fell asleep in instant later, dreaming about a certain someone.
"just one?" Jas joked, waving as Connor left. After making sure Connor had left and that no one was coming, Jas paced the back wall of his human containment unit, trying his best to calm himself. After a few moments he ran a hand threw his hair and growled at himself softly "you aren't helping yourself." He took a deep breath and thought back to the motorized rollingham ride. "What changed your mind so quickly, hm?" He murmured aloud before using what power he had left to shift into a black purr machine and curl up in the corner, farthest away from the wobbly flip-shutter. You've had your chances and you wasted them.
The next morning he woke up groaning and sad that he woke up from his dream. He got dressed rubbing his peepers lazily. He flew to where the trial was being held. it was long and dragged out. In the end, he was very happy with the result she was just too tired to care. Instead of going home and taking a nap, he forced himself to go over the building where Jas was. You could hear his shoes clicking from down the hallway. He happened to be wearing stompy weather clompers that had a heel to them. He really only wore them when he was out with his friends. He saw a little black purr machine in the corner which made him smile softly "I have some great news…" Even though he was talking low his voice would be projected into the cell as if he were right next to him. He plopped down on the floor leaning his back against the glass. He yawned while trying to wake himself up, it wasn't working very well.
Jas hissed softly at being woken up until he noticed who had done it. He stretched gracefully and padded over to the wobbly flip-shutter, having not enough of his abilities or motivation to actually change back. He reached up and tapped the glass with his paws, mewling softly at Connor. Great news? Connor and him must have very different definitions of great. Considering everything Jas had done, he had prepared himself for the worst. He narrowed his peepers slightly and tilted his head. He was sure if he was ready to have any hope for his future in this life, especially if it meant that he'd be away from Connor
Connor grinned at the cute little kitty. "You are very cute. I feel like you would be very satisfying to pet right now. Anyway, long story short, they can't really tie you to any mucduc since you are very good at hiding evidence. Anyway, so the charges for mucduc are none. There is a charge for kidnapping. Unless they just kidnapped themselves. Since you didn't actually hurt anyone on camera and there is no evidence, the charges are very low. So, that means you will be out of here in a fortnight. So that means, for the time being, I'm hanging out with you because I am extremely in the doldrums right now." Connor got off of the floor. "Do you want anything to eat, I can go get some roundy-yums or something?" Connor ran his fingers through his hair while he was looking at the glass. "Don't judge me this glass is very reflective and I look like a hot mess right now."
Jas listened intently as Connor spoke flicking his ears and tilting his head. He'd be out in a fortnight? That short of a time. He sighed in relief and meawed happily. He glanced up in slight confusion when Connor said he'd come in with him. Was that even allowed. Jas flattened his ear in worry but back away to let Connir in. He shook his head at the question about mandatory sustenance (like cheetos) and settled in the middle of the human containment unit, tucking his paws beneath him so that looked like a little loaf. He meowed a laugh and flicked his tail in amusement. Oh he was so glad he wasn't in his human form now, otherwise he would have laughedor teased his darling hero
Connor looked around for a moment before opening the cell the closing it when he was back in. "You are about to see something that not very many people see. In 3…2…1…" His wings popped out of his body and sighed. "It's a part of my powers that I can hide these babies, cause they have gotten way too big and I'm not living my life around them. This cell affects heroes too." Connor sat on the floor and tapped his lap. "Come on I wanna pet you." He held his arms out, making a gesture with his hands for Jas to come. Connors wings weren't just big they were at least 25 groundhands wide however when they were pulled in they were half that size. "I know there are security cameras, but still." He pulled them in so they would seem smaller.
Jas watched in awe as two massive wings sprouted from Connors back. He tilted his head and gave a feline smirk, as if to say since when? Since I turned into a purr machine? He slowly stood and padded around the human containment unit, inspecting the place as well as Connor's wings. He sniffed at them and swatted gently at some feathers. It was a sheer miracle Jas had ever gotten far when he escaped, the wings seemed to be very able to cover a lot ground in a very short amount of time. He glanced up at Connor and meowed, nervously walking forwards and nudging Connor's hand. Oh gods, why was he nervous now? Wasn't this what he wanted? He'd wanted nothing more than to be touched, to be embraced, by his dear hero. Yes, he did but not like this, not as some animal. He meowed and plopped down into Connor's lap. He guessed for now he'd take any chance he could get. He stretched up and pressed his face against Connor's cheek and neck, loudly purring as he cuddled up against Connor
Connor smiled softly when nudged his hand. He's adorable. Connor hummed when Jas rubbed against him. "You are very cute." He smiled pressed his face into Jas's belly. "You are very soft." He whispered. Connor could help but to kiss him all over. He did that with all of his pets. He would kiss their stomach, forehead, cheek, neck, and the top of their heads. Connor laid back on the ground, he picked up just placing him on his chest. "My neck is very sensitive, so pressing against it like that was mean. They also said a fortnight, but the organization is trying for more weeks or as they said at least a month." As he was talking he would pet Jas, gliding his fingers across his fur. Connor suddenly grinned at the brain bubble he had. "If you were human your head would be here and I would have been running my fingers through your hair. Do you think if I kiss you, you'll turn back and become my prince in shining armor?" Connor joked.
