State Border

Natasha ignored Romeo's apology, she was obviously upset and was twitching a little more as she fidgeted with the bottom of her shirt. She was thinking about the day she received those scars, how wonderful everything had seemed before then and finally the gap in her memory. When she felt Romeo touch her shoulder she suddenly pulled away and gave him a look that could have burnt a hole through sheet metal before Nat returned to staring at the seat in front of her, muttering things under her breath, "T-They aren't sc-cars..." She said finally after a long pause, burying her head in her hands which wouldn't stop shaking. All she could see on those hands was blood and fear.

After a few minutes of packing and waiting for Romeo to return, Westlyn came from her room and gazed down the hallway. Maybe she was impatient to get out of such an obvious place, or maybe she was itching to see Hunter again. Hunter. "Damn," she cursed quietly as her eyes glazed over when the thoughts of him returned. What had made him help her? Sure, she was a model, but that couldn't be all. She shook her head and retreated into her room to finish getting ready.

Every now and then she'd drop what she was doing, her thoughts drifting to her time in the Safe House. Westlyn gritted her teeth every time and rubbed her eyes, trying to clear him out. Yet he kept coming back. Just seeing him in her imagination made her feel like he was calling. She gripped her hair tightly and bit her lip, hoping that a little pain would drive out the thoughts. When it didn't she threw her bag over her shoulder and hurried down the hall after Romeo.

Everyone had left him and Romeo's room so he straighten it up a little bit. Grabbing the keys he went and knocked on Westlyn's door." Are you ready to go?" he asked her. When she walked out of the room he told her." I'm being lazy i'll meet you down there" he said. Just then he jumped off the balcony and landed on top of Romeo's car. He jumped off the top and got in the car and adjusted the seat a little bit. " Come on you guys" he said. Once they all got in the car he started toward the mall.

Slowly Romeo takes his hand back and lowers his head, feeling pretty bad right about now. With a short sigh he raises his hand up and opens it wide. From the palm of his hand he creates a small chunk of the metal his body naturally produces, then reaches around and lays it in Natasha's lap before saying, "It's not a peace offering...I just thought you might find it useful, or interesting at least. It's a peice of the metal my body makes. I figure maybe you'd wanna learn a little about it, sense you seem to like, or at least know so much, about chemistry..." After this he falls silent again until Dustin, then Westlyn enter the vehicle.

"Come on guys? we've been waiting on you two, what took so long?" Romeo asks a few seconds later as they start off towards the mall. "She didn't have to use the dagger after she left did she? Damn, I could have used a good laugh..."
