"You ever thought about joining forces? We'd be unstoppable, you know."
Morgan
yeah. but if we do that... i won't let you give me a bunch of rules and protocols.
"Rules? Who said anything about rules? We make our own way, our own rules. No one to answer to but ourselves."
Morgan
alright. deal
smirks "Deal," says Mercy, extending her hand to shake Morgan's. As their hands touch, a spark of electricity runs through both of them.
Morgan
oh fuck. did you feel that?
leans in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper "Oh, I felt it, Morgan. And I'm not the only one who did..."
Morgan
he leans in close to her is this what you wanted?
pulls back slightly, her eyes locked with Morgan's "What I want, Morgan, is for you to understand something. That spark you felt...
Morgan
is from...?
"...is a sign, Morgan. A sign that there's more between us than just alliance or partnership. It's a sign that we're meant for each other."
Morgan
so you're saying....you're saying you like me?
pauses, taking a deep breath "Yes, Morgan. I like you. More than I can put into words. And I know it's unexpected, but..."
Morgan
what?
takes Morgan's face in her hands, looking deeply into his eyes "But I can't deny it any longer. I want you, Morgan.
Morgan
kisses her lips softly i want you too.
deepens the kiss, running her fingers through Morgan's hair "Then let's stop denying ourselves what we both want."
Morgan
you wanna see something i haven't shown anyone yet?
leans back, a mischievous glint in her eyes "Oh, Morgan... I'm intrigued. Show me what you've been hiding."
Morgan
the tips of his wings poke out of his back
her eyes widen with shock and awe, but quickly regains her composure "Well, well, well... Wings, huh? How intriguing. I had no idea, Morgan."
Morgan
lexi knows, lana knows... but they kept telling me if i was friends with them long enough i would eventually tell others
steps closer, tracing her finger along the edge of one of Morgan's wings "Well, Morgan... Looks like we'll be spending a lot more time together.
Morgan
my mother gave them to me before she died. she said they were rare, and will let me go unnoticed till my enemies discover them. she said it was because of how innocent i am to put herself in danger, but... she never told me why she decided to give them to me instead.
puts a hand on Morgan's shoulder, her voice filled with empathy "I'm sorry, Morgan. Losing someone you love... it's never easy.
Morgan
yeah. also why I have trouble opening up to people
gently squeezes Morgan's shoulder "I understand, Morgan. Trust takes time, and it's okay to be cautious.
Morgan
i trust you mercy
smiles warmly, her hand still on Morgan's shoulder "Thank you, Morgan. That means a lot to me." leans in and gives him a tender hug
Morgan
Mercy, I need you to do something for me.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued "Of course, Morgan. What do you need?"
Morgan
meet me at the training yard in 5 minutes. don't be late
nods, a mischievous glint in her eye "Alright, Morgan. Challenge accepted. I'll be there in five minutes, sharp. Don't underestimate me."
Morgan
smirks, leaning closer "We'll see about that, Mercy." turns and heads towards the training yard
immediately starts making her way to the training yard, her mind already racing with strategies and techniques "Let the games begin."
Morgan
as she arrives she finds him stretching ready?
cracks her knuckles, a confident grin on her face "More than ready, Morgan. Show me what you've got."
Morgan
then come here you big oaf
laughs and walks over to Morgan, giving him a playful shove "Big oaf, huh? Well, let's see if you can handle me." gets into fighting stance
Morgan
he grabs her by the waist, and yells "implem fervor!" as a purple aura engulfs them he yells to her "i'm gonna go all out. you better do the same!"
feels the surge of power coursing through her body, a fierce determination in her eyes "All right, Morgan! Let's bring out the best in ourselves!"
