❛ i’ve walked the earth and there are so few here that know how dark the night and just how cold the wind can blow. ❜

❛ i’ve no more kept my warmth than blood upon the snow. ❜

❛ it’s not my arms that will fail me, but this world takes more strength than it gave me. ❜

❛ the only heaven i’ll be sent to is when i’m alone with you. ❜

❛ i’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies. ❜

❛ i’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife. ❜

❛ good god, let me give you my life. ❜

❛ so tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes. ❜

❛ every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside. ❜

❛ you knew who i was with every step that i ran to you. ❜

❛ would things be easier if there was a right way? ❜

❛ honey, there is no right way. ❜

❛ i fall in love just a little, a little bit every day with someone new. ❜

❛ when you kill the lights and kiss my eyes, i feel like a person for a moment of my life. ❜

❛ you don’t know what hell you put me through. ❜

❛ there’s something tragic about you. ❜

❛ i have never known peace like the damp grass that yields to me. ❜

❛ i have never known hunger like these insects that feast on me. ❜

❛ i’d be home with you. ❜

❛ there’s nothing sweeter than my baby. ❜

❛ no grave can hold my body down, i’ll crawl home to her. ❜

❛ what did you bury before those hands pulled me from the earth? ❜

❛ i will not ask where you came from. i will not ask and neither should you. ❜

❛ just put your sweet lips on my lips. we should just kiss like real people do. ❜

❛ i know who i am when i’m alone. i’m something else when i see you. ❜

❛ you don’t understand, you should never know, how easy you are to need. ❜

❛ don’t let me in with no intention to keep me. ❜

❛ don’t feed me — i will come back. ❜

❛ i’ve known the warmth of your doorways. through the cold, i’ll find my way back to you. ❜

❛ still my heart is heavy with the hate of some other man’s beliefs. ❜

❛ i need you to run to me, run until you feel your lungs bleeding. ❜

❛ when i was a child, i heard voices… some would sing and some would scream. ❜

❛ i learned the voices died with me. ❜

❛ don’t you ever tame your demons, but always keep ‘em on a leash. ❜

❛ you’ve done me wrong for a long time. but after all you’ve done, i never changed my mind. ❜

❛ honey please, try to love me. my love will never die. ❜

❛ nothing fucks with my baby. ❜

❛ if i was born as a black thorn tree, i’d wanna be felled by you, held by you, fuel the pyre of your enemies. ❜

❛ ain’t it warming you, the world going up in flames? ❜

❛ i couldn’t utter my love when it counted, but i’m singing like a bird about it now.❜

❛ i’m almost me again, she’s almost you. ❜

❛ i’ve had no love like your love. from nobody. ❜

❛ make your good love known to me, or just tell me about your day. ❜

❛ i’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight. ❜

❛ that’s the kinda love i’ve been dreaming of. ❜

❛ i fell in love with the fire long ago. ❜

❛ with each love i cut loose, i was never the same. ❜

❛ i had been lost to you, sunlight, and flew like a moth to you. ❜

❛ know that i would gladly be the icarus to your certainty, oh my sunlight. ❜

❛ i have never loved a darker blue than the darkness i have known in you. ❜

She hadn’t meant to be smart about it, but she had noted the blood that was staining the material, suggesting that the bandage possibly wasn’t placed tightly enough. “Sure,” Raven murmured at his request, lifting her hood from her head, figuring there was no longer a reason for her to veil herself.

Grabbing one of the sterile pads lying before him, she held it over the wound, only putting it on once his chest was found lying flat. “Can you exhale for me?” she inquired, waiting for him to do so before placing the pad on top of it. Slowly starting to dress the wound with the bandage, taking gentle care of her handiwork. Evidently a little too used to this. “If it's any consolation, it is a hard place to bandage by yourself.” Especially when one was in severe pain, as she could sense from his emotions. “Do you intend to get this checked up on afterwards?”

@skathmarked sent: “It’s seeping through the bandages.” ( jason! )

“God damn it.” He muttered, lifting his arm to look down at his side. Raven was right, a slow pool of red was forming where the gouge to his side was, clear to anyone that looked that he was injured, freshly so. He preferred to DIY his own bandages but clearly he wasn’t doing that good of a job, and reluctantly he glanced up at her, not meeting her eyes for more than a brusque moment. “Think you can help a guy out?”

@skathmarked asked: “ you can stay… i’d like you to stay. ” ( rogue! )

Rogue looks over at Raven and nervously fidgets with her gloves. She does want to stay more than anything. Still as she looks at Raven she’s afraid she doesn’t want to ruin this. She doesn’t want to hurt Raven it would kill her if she did that. “It’s a sweet offer but I’m a sleep walker I don’t wanna hurt you so I’ll… I’ll just go home and see you soon.”

She didn’t mean to push, nor to frighten her. But for once, perhaps Raven had actually hoped for the company, rather than offering it out of politeness. “It’s a long road,” she murmured, slowly getting up on her feet. “It’s late. At least allow me to transport you home.” Traveling through dimensions had its perks. For starters, it was quicker than the subway.

“Well that’s good at least. I’m sure it was one hell of a learning curve though.” Rogue couldn’t imagine it. She had seen friends go through similar things through surges of power like that and she knew it was scary. She couldn’t handle it not emotionally but she’s happy Raven could. She looks at her gloves, “If it’s someone with power I’ll take ‘em sometimes their memories or their mannerisms then if I touch them too long their life force. With people who don’t have powers it goes straight to life force since there’s not that barrier of powers. I… I don’t touch people at all. I don’t want to risk hurting anyone.”

“It was.. Now I just refrain from feeling much of anything.” One would deem it an unhealthy coping mechanism. Even Raven thought that it was the worst way to tackle emotions, but as of now, keeping them in check was all that she could do.

Raven had never come across powers such as Rogue’s. They were rather unique, but they came with a burden, such as her own. “That sounds scary.” She couldn’t imagine the fear she felt, how worried she must be if touching anyone for, even accidentally. “And rather lonesome too,” she admitted, raising her gaze to look at her. Noting how Rogue’s fled from hers. “Has it always been like this?”

KALI:

“You’re right.” Kali manages just enough energy to lift herself up in her seat. Stretches out as much as the seatbelt allows her before she slumps back against the cushion. Eyes heavy and unfocused as she stares ahead at the winding road and struggles to think of a train of thought that will keep her mind occupied.

“We, we made sure to grab all the files, right?” she knows it’s a silly question. Her and Raven were always more than thorough as it was. “Pretty incriminating shit if we snuffed it out from under them,” there’s a lazy satisfied grin on her face, the high of their stakeout fueling some fire back in her blood. “We’re getting closer and closer to finding El and taking their men out. Two birds with one stone,” and just like that, the thought of getting to see their sister again has her mixed again. Fitting somewhere between feeling happy and worn all over again. She’s never once given up on El. Never even considered the idea of stopping their search. If Kali was going to go all in, she’s going to be make it count. 

“It’s… it’s,” the fatigue hits her again full force, feeling her eyes start to flutter shut.

The more that Kali talked, the more Raven could find herself relaxing; knowing that she wasn’t disappearing on her. It lulled her into a comfortable state, making her believe that maybe the blow hadn’t been too hard on her. That perhaps it wasn’t as bad as Raven had made it out to be.

That was, until she could hear how Kali’s voice was starting to slip. Eyeing her over her shoulder whilst trying to still keep eyes on the road, she could tell that Kali was withering from her present-state. Panic was starting to seep into her, concerned for her sister.

“Kali — hey!” she called out, trying to shake her; accidentally pulling the wheel a bit too far to the right, endangering the both of them in the attempt.   “Shit,” she muttered, feeling how her heart was galloping in her chest. Straightening the wheel, she turned her eyes back on the road; she couldn’t risk both of their lives just to keep her awake.

Making a right-turn on the highway, she drove into the nearest town there was. Intending to seek help. “I’m taking you to the hospital. If we’re going to save Jane, I need you to be there with me.” She couldn’t do this without her.

TYRONE:

He’s thoughtful as he hears her explanation, taking it in and trying his best to wrap his mind around it. Who would benefit from blocking him out. Who even had the means to make it happen– Was it something in the Darkforce–

“Okay,” Figuring it’s worth a shot he follows her to the ground, criss-cross as he does his best to mimic her actions to a t. ( He’s still a little surprised that Raven’s so willing to help him out, circumstances even withstanding. It’s not everyday someone tells you they’re melded with someone else in some cosmic way. Not that he isn’t grateful for her quick acceptance, not at all. )

Even after agreeing he’s still a little hesitant to the idea of opening up his mind like that. If it’s worth it to risk shit when her plan might not even work– Then he thinks about Tandy. Thinks about the lengths they’ve gone to for eachother. How even if he had to walk on coals– Tyrone would do what he felt he had to to make sure she was safe.

And it’s that notion that helps melt his reservations, ready for whatever the hero had planned. “Do I just… picture a winding road or somethin’? Or should I start with something easier,”

Raven felt as oblivious as he probably did about what was going on. She didn’t understand the tether there was between these two, but an inkling told her that it was strong. That there was something that connected the two of them, and whatever it was that blocked them from one another, it was filled with malicious intent.

“Do not be afraid. Whatever I will come to see will remain between the two of us.” She knew how vulnerable it could be to bare your mind to another. Had it been the other way around, Raven did not know whether she would dare to exploit herself in this manner.

If the situation was not so dire, perhaps she would find his attempt of humor comical. However, as of now, her mind was elsewhere; fixed on finding his friend. “Start with placing your hands on top of mine,” she explained, allowing her own hands to extend towards him, inviting him to place them on top of hers; to give his mind to her.

“Then close your eyes and breathe with me. Then you won’t have to picture a winding road to get where you need to be.”
