midnightblackdagger.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=chardev&action=display&thread=445Manny had worked fast, even as far as he was concerned. As the human had left the room, he'd taken out his phone and texted while shaking his head. Hadn't been all that concerned about that. It was the exausted look Jane had that set him on edge. She had brought him fresh clothes, which he'd just finished putting on. After replacing his glove, ran his fingers through a mess of hair. Being awake wasn't a problem, it was something he could do for days if needed. Hearing someone approaching through the halls, he'd have closed his eyes. Only that could mean more bull he just didn't want to see. Instead he went over and opened the door then back to sit down, had a feeling this just wasn't quiet over yet.

She gave Vishous a closed lip smile as she tugged her pearl earrings.
"I'm surprised. Knowing you, I thought you'd pretend to be asleep just to ignore me." she said as she took a seat next to him, close enough to not bother him, but not far enough to let him disregard her.

Leaned forward, elbows on his knees, one hand covering his face. Glanced over then just came out with it, over the thundering of his heart.
"Yeah, well I'm not all that big on letting the past do a loop. True." Breathed, telling his body to calm down. "Don't know what happened Mary. It just, fuck it felt so real." Met her gaze, right like she knew what he was talking about. "Thought I'd taken it bad."
Unconsciously rubbed his chest, staring straight ahead once again. Trying not to get all up in his head. For he and Jane, even Mary who'd taken the time to come. Ungrateful ass he was had to make an effort of it.

She raised an eyebrow.
"I know we have established before that I am helluva smart, but... that doesn't mean I can read minds, Vishous" her smile softened, as did her voice. "What happened?"

Stomach sank, felt like he needed to put his head between his knees to keep from being sick. Even if her remark was comedy, under different circumstances. Swallowed through the cotton in his mouth.
"Don't know if you were ever told, but when all that," made a move on motion with his gloved hand "happened with Jane? I saw it. Only.." Fuck this was hard, come on. "...thought that shot was for me. Damn I don't talk about my visions, that's one I should have."
Made eye contact, not even thinking. His blood seemed to be freezing up in his veins, couldn't be panic. No, not him. Though the way she was speaking and that look she returned made his legs twitch. 'Do not bolt. Stay.' he warned himself. At least for a minute.

She furrowed her brows, concentrating on his words.
"Have you had a similar vision? Is that what this is a about?"
From all the Brothers, no one had ever been more confusing to her than Vishous, not even Zsadist. And from them all, he was the one who had never asked her for anything, so today, she was more than determined to help him, no matter the cost.

Now that sick feeling took on a whole new level. Screw that position, he needed to stretch out. Shitkickers sliding across lineolium, arms being useless ass's at his sides his head hit the wall.
"It's like all of them." Peeked at her through almost closed lids. "Plus what was real, in one long succession. The shot, then that drive..." No one knew about that, not even Butch, ".. ah, everything I had to do. Every time I close my eyes a get a new scene of Vishous fucking up big time."
Hid a wince, not for the pain in his ribs but the ever growing throbbing in his chest.

She stood up and glanced at Vishous. She didn't approach him, she didn't touch him for comfort, no, she knew better. But there was something about the way he looked... he wouldn't be so stupid, would he?
"Vishous... have you fed?" she was proud of herself. She hadn't called him idiot, as she wanted. If he hadn't fed, she would just kick him in the guts. Yep. She would

Everything stopped, the full weight of his diamond gaze landing on her. Had she really just..
"I can hear you, you do know that Mary." Though damn it he was having a hard time not busting up. "For a small thing you've really got some big ones to even go there."
Obstinacy was his best friend, usually Butch would be the one thinking, or rather just blurting that kind of stuff out. Though damn if Rhage wouldn't go all out if he said much more.
"Not in a few weeks. Go on, I'm open."

She considered it, and she considered it loud, so there wouldn't be a single doubt he heard her. I should stab his man parts with my very pointy heel. But I won't... for now.
"Are you insane or just dumb? Do I need to call Jane or Rhage? Of course you're going crazy there, Vishous. You are, and pardon my language, fucking starving. And please, do not even dare to use the -It's hard to not feed from my shellan- line, I know all about it and it just won't do."

"Am I, did you just think about stabbing me then call me insane AND stupid?" Stood, then took a step back at the look she gave him. "I can give you this, it's no walk in the fucking park hearing almost everything and some of the things I see.."
Annndd that shit died in his throat, damn it all but she was so correct. Even a stare off wouldn't do it. In fact, seemed Mary had covered every base with a homer and hardly even batted a perfectly coiffed eye lash doing so. Warrior nothing, none of them were immune to the powers of the female mind.

She straightened a wrinkle from her khaki's as she stared at him. Then she pushed her glasses up her nose, more because she was used, than because she actually needed to do it.
"Look, Vishous. We've known each other for a little while by now, so you know I mean no insult, but you males sometimes get on my nerves. Like now. I'm texting Jane soon. And if you don't call the Chosens, then I'll get Rhage to do it. IF after you are all gleaming and warm from feeding like my Wellsie does, then we can talk about this again. But honestly, it probably won't be needed."
And just because she was mean, she thought: AND YOU LOOK SKINNIER THAN A SUPER MODEL!

Oh that was so it. She was pushing every button and boundary. It was like she knew exactly what to say and do to rile him up then leave him wanting to fight more. But that last thing. Really?
No wonder Rhage had fallen for her.
"Fine. I'll feed. Happy." Man did that ever come out quipped, so she'd reduced him to acting childish too? "Damm Mary, just come out and say anything else on your mind while your at it."
Threw up his hand, starting for the door, like he wasn't hearing it. Then came up short and held it for her, looking back with a half grin lifting his lips.
"After you."

Damn, she thought, Damn.
"After me?" she snorted as she walked out. "Do you know I really wasn't planning to kick you, don't you? You would have to push me to the limits of my reason for me to do that. I'm a very docile lady." she smiled as innocently as she could. "And you truly aren't that exasperating. My Rhage is" she said with a chuckle as they walked toward the house, where she would make absolutely sure she called a Chosen. "Do you want me to call Jane, or will you?"

"I'll do you one better, how about I call Phury right now and set up a time." Took out his phone, then texted the Primale.
When the response came back to meet with Selena, he had to let out a sigh of relief. Most of the Chosen were scared to death of him. With good reason. Even so, he showed her the phone. All the while wondering just how the females of this house had that power.
"Now, once your satisfied, maybe I will take you up in talking. You know cause this is a whole new me and I'm pretty damn sure on my way back from fighting I actually saw a cow flying." Smirked, though actually saying the words 'Thank you' were hard.
Went ahead and showed it as much as he could.
"Jane should be calling to let you know, that is if you want." Close as he'd come, ever.

She nodded, but didn't dare to smile. Baby steps, she reminded herself, baby steps.
"That's fine. I'll have Rhage babysitting. He very oftenly tries to get away from changing diapers, ha, over my dead body" she patted his shoulder, because that was as close as hugging as she would go without his permission. "Tell Selena I said hello. We'll see you and Jane soon. Take care, V" she smiled and walked away.
Ah, living in the Brotherhood. She just would never get bored.
