Bobby
Storm tapped her foot as she walked back and forth in front of the guilty party, breathing deeply.
"What you did was very wrong," she began. "You had us worried when we couldn't find you in your beds."
"But we - " Bobby fell silent under her look.
"We set rules for a reason, not because we feel like being mean."
Logan, Spike, Demetria and Octavian
"I was with them, not many are really looking to mess with me," Spike said defensively.
Logan leant against one of the camp tables and just stared at them all. Spike flashed gold eyes at the mutant, and one corner of Logan's mouth quirked up for an unamused smile for a moment.
Octavian and Demetria blinked blue eyes and looked utterly innocent.
BObby and Rebekah
"I'll level with you... I don't want to be the bad guy, ok?" Storm sighed. "But I can't let you just get away with this."
Bobby looked like he was about to speak, but Rebekah punched his arm, none too lightly.
"I'm not going to tell Scott or Jean. But I am saying this... you are all, officially on probation for the rest of the trip. If I see that you're disobeying any more of our rules, I will turn you over to Scott, is that understood?"
MOrdred and Logan
Logan unfurled slightly and Spike tensed.
"Havta remember Storm...neither Spike nor Gwen are students. Mess up, and we'll send you home," Logan said.
"You don't *have* to be here."
Mordred sneaked his hand over Gwen's and held onto her tightly.
Gwen
"That's a good point. So if either of you two, decide to step out of line, you can go straight home," Storm said.
Gwen squeezed Mordred's hand lightly.
Spike and Logan
Spike lifted an eyebrow slightly.
"Scoldings all done?"
"You really like to push it, bub," Logan growled.
Spike laughed.
"Always did, always will."
Rebekah, Gwen and Bobby
"We're done here. Now, get on the bus," Storm ordered and head off.
Rebekah stood up and pulled her pants up slightly and went over to the bus, Bobby following her, looking like he was going to get an attack of the giggles any second.
Gwen shrugged and stood.
"Well, that went well."
Spike, The Mavericks and Logan
"Better then I thought it would," Mordred agreed.
Spike snickered and stuck his hand on Vortigern's ass as they walked towards the bus.
"Tally ho!" Octavian said, then legged it after Bobby when Logan glared at him.
"Well, we're not dead," he remarked cheerfully.
Bobby, Rebekah and Gwen
"And we did go out with a bang," Bobby grinned and sat himself down on a seat.
Rebekah rolled her eyes and sat down on the nearest empty seat, pulling out a notepad and a pen and starting to write some songs down.
Gwen took Mordred's hand and led him to the bus.
"So... we're going into Sydney... how exciting."
The Mavericks and Logan
"Ka-bloowie!" Octavian cheered.
Logan growled, Octavian 'eeped' and slid into the seat next to Bobby.
Demetria giggled and skipped onto the bus, sitting next to Rebekah demurely. Mordred sat down with Gwen and pulled her into his lap.
"Yes. Well, for me it is. I've hardly been anywhere."
Bobby, Gwen and Rebekah
Bobby chuckled.
"One day, he's just gonna snap."
Rebekah grinned and leaned back against the seat.
Gwen ground her hips into Mordred's lap.
"Ah, well Sydney's nice... it's like New York, but Sydney."
The Mavericks and Logan
"Yes. The vein is going to pop and he's going to have a stroke," Octavian said.
Logan growled softly and Demetria giggled.
"Well, yeah," Mordred said.
Bobby and Gwen
"Mmmmhmmmm," Bobby said, yawning. He shifted in his seat, still slightly tender from the previous night's activities.
"Awwww, Bobby's all sore," Gwen teased.
Mordred and Octavian
"And you're not?" Octavian shot back.
Mordred chuckled.
"Low blow."
"It's what I specialse in them. Why fight fair?" Octavian said.
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen giggled as Bobby simply flipped her off and rested his head against his seat, closing his eyes.
"Poor diddums is tired, up all night?"
"Like you weren't too," Bobby replied sleepily.
"True... but you guys were louder than us this time."
Octavian and Sergei
"Oh well. Can I help it that we're just that good?" Octavian said.
"So full of it," Sergei said and threw a ball of paper at him.
Octavian caught it and threw it back.
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby grinned and yawned, and reclined his seat.
"So sleepy."
He gingerly turned over onto his side and flipped his sunnies over his eyes, pulling shut the curtains on the coach windows.
Gwen laughed again and kissed Mordred gently and settled into the seat next to him.
Octavian, Logan and Sergei
Octavian ran his fingers through Bobby's hair gently, then turned to face Sergei.
"You're a real pain in the arse."
"And you're not?"
"Shut up," Logan said.
Octavian closed his mouth and swung back around, slouching down in his seat and folding his arms across his chest.
"Borzhemoi, he shut him up," Sergei said in amazement.
Octavian flipped him the bird.
Bobby
Bobby smiled faintly and ran his fingers up and down Octavian's leg absently.
They soon arrived in Sydney, about two hours later.
Logan and Sergei
Logan stood as the bus slowed to a stop.
"Stay in a group. Make me come to find you, and you'll wish I hadn't. Sergei, Angelo, you have your image manips on?"
"Da," Sergeu said, tapping the watchlike machine on his wrist and image rippling into a youth with brown hair and Caucausian in appearance.
Bobby
They all piled off the bus, and looked up at the hotel.
"Wow, when we go all out... we go all out," Bobby commented.
The Mavericks and Logan
"Shopping! Clothes! Shopping!" Demetria said excitedly.
"Pain, aching feet and boredom," Mordred said.
Octavian laughed.
"So...we going to drop our stuff off and the go look around?"
"Storm's in charge," Logan said.
Gwen
"You have the choice... you can explore the hotel, or you can go have a look around the city," Storm said, leading them into the hotel.
Gwen's cell phone rang and she tottered off round a corner to answer it.
Demetria and Octavian
"City!" Demetria said.
"Shopping! Clothes! Shiny things!"
"You have been feeling the deprivation of no shopping, haven't you?" Octavian laughed.
"Yes. I have my platinum credit card and money to burn."
Demetria grinned.
"And since I'm in *such* a good mood, I'm happy to buy stuff."
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
"Yeah, I would like to get a new acoustic guitar," Rebekah commented. "And shoes, and clothes!"
"Yeah, I want some new jeans..." Bobby said thoughtfully.
Gwen came back and ran up to Storm, spoke with her quietly for a few moments, then skittered off quickly.
Sergei, Vortigern, Mordred and Spike
Sergei rolled his eyes.
"Not a fan of shopping..."
"Let's face it, Sergei, you're not a fan of people," Angelo said.
Sergei flashed a wry grin.
"Do you blame me? Anyway, I think I'm going to go and be touristy for once."
"Art galleries," Vortigern said dreamily.
"C'mon, Spike."
Spike rolled his eyes and followed his lover.
Mordred ran after Gwen, catching up to her quickly.
"What's wrong?"
Gwen, Bobby adn Rebekah
Gwen grinned.
"Nothing."
She kissed his cheek.
"I just got called in to work. Now, you, go, be touristy, you've never seen Sydney, and I'll meet you back here later."
Bobby took Rebekah's hand and half dragged her away from the hotel.
Logan, The Mavericks and Sergei
Logan rolled his eyes, decided the rapidly disappearing blond twins with Bobby and Rebekah were most likely to get into trouble and loped after them silently.
"So, where first?" Demetria asked.
"King's-"
"Shut up, Tavvie."
Sergei walked off by himself, hands in his pockets.
Mordred kissed Gwen lightly.
"Alright. Be safe."
He 'ported to Vortigern's side and the now trio set off to look through art galleries.
Angelo went up to his room.
Gwen, Rebekah and Bobby
Gwen saluted as he disappeared and headed off to her usual hotel.
Rebekah eeped as they walked into the court of shops outside Centre Point Tower.
"Shoes! Look at zose shoes!" she exclaimed, dragging Bobby into the store.
"Yes, they're pink..." Bobby replied, pretending to be interested.
"Bobby, it's five levels of shoes!"
"I noticed."
"SHOES!"
Demetria and Octavian
Demetria hummed in agreement.
Octavian rolled his eyes.
"How many pairs of shoes do you actually need?"
"As many as look good on me."
She picked up a pair of sandals as she continued to browse.
Bobby and Rebekah
Rebekah eeped again and ran up the stairs and tired on, and decided to buy a few more shoes, before setting off upstairs.
"See, me, I only need like three pairs of shoes. Not even that... shoes for casualness and shoes for a suit. There. Two pairs of shoes." Bobby nodded. "You've only got two feet."
Rebekah came down with two bags and turned pleading eyes on Bobby.
"No."
Another helpless look.
"No, no, no. Don't even think about it, I am not..."
A sniff.
"Fine, give me the stupid bags."
Rebekah grinned and handed him the bags to carry for her.
Demetria and Octavian
Demetria bought several pairs of shoes and arrfanged for them to be sent on to the hotel. She took Rebekah's hand.
"More shops!"
"Oh joy," Octavian mumbled.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah half ran out of the store with Demetria, then pointed.
"Ooooohhhhhh, cute dresses alert!"
She started to head over.
Bobby groaned.
"God..."
Demetria and Octavian
"I like this one...what do you think?" Demetria asked, holding a white sundress with small blue flowers printed over it against herself.
Octavian nudged Bobby slightly.
"I say we sneak away and pretend we don't know them."
BObby, Rebekah and Gwen
"Good idea."
Bobby looked down at the bags in his hand, then handed them back to Rebekah, who didn't even seem to notice what he was doing, then took Octavian's hand and ducked out of the store.
"Zat is very cute, it will bring out your eyes," Rebekah replied, picking out a short pale yellow sundress.
Gwen climbed the stairs slowly, shivering in the drafty passageway.
Demetria and Octavian
"That's cute too," Demetria said, looking at the dress in Rebekah's hand.
Her eyes lit up and she moved further into the store.
"Tops! Oh my god, I am getting this for Julie."
She showed the t-shirt to Rebekah. Emblazoned across the pale blue cloth in gold script was the legend 'Fuck off. I'm with the band.'
Octavian snickered slightly as they walked away, having made their escape.
"Well, now we've escaped, I vote for King's Cross."
Rebekah and Bobby
"Oh no, zis will be good for Julie too..."
Rebekah giggled as she held up a black singlet top, with white writing which read 'A hard man is good to find'.
Bobby grinned.
"I don't care, anywhere were they're aren't squealing Bek and Dem's."
Demetria and Octavian
"I'm happy to buy," Demetria drawled.
"Not like I'm not swimming in cash anyway. And it's in pounds, mostly. Soft Australian economy, hoorah! More spending!"
"Indeed."
Octavian grinned.
"So what do we actually want to do today?"
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
"It's cool, Ian gave me some money, and so did my grandmother," Rebekah replied. "But thank you."
Bobby grinned cheekily.
"Yo - it's up to you."
Gwen lifted her hands to instinctively shield her face as she was pushed off the staircase, into the debris at the bottom of the two storeys. She glanced down weakly, to see a pipe protruding from her stomach.
"This... is... not... good..."
And then she passed out.
The Mavericks
Demetria smiled slightly.
"Still buying this for Julie."
"Haven't been to Sydney in a while..." Octavian mused.
"I'm not sure. Let's wander."
Mordred clutched his stomach and hissed, before teleporting.
"Gwen? GWEN!"
He fell to his knees beside her, distraught.
Bobby, Gwen and Rebekah
Rebekah smiled and nodded.
"She'll love it."
She pulled out a black shirt and stared at it for a few moments.
Bobby nodded.
"I'll follow you."
Gwen's eyes fluttered slightly, but remained closed.
The Mavericks
"Hmm..."
Demetria browsed through a few more racks.
"Right..."
Octavian looked around.
"Chocolate!"
"Oh god..."
Mordred bit his lip. He didn't know any hospitals in the area, actually, he had no idea where he was. He carefully slid Gwen's cell out of her pocket and jogged to the door, dialling '000'.
Rebekah, BObby and Gwen
Rebekah took the armful of clothes into the change rooms and tried them on, scrutinising herself in the mirror in each outfit. She decided on one of the skirts and a dress, then came out and handed the rest to the shop assistant, and went to pay.
Bobby nodded.
"You're cute when you're excited."
Gwen moaned out in pain, but remained lying still, while the smooth, calming, patronising voice spoke to Mordred on the other line of the phone.
The Mavericks
Demetria paid for the top in a size she thought would fit Julie, not having foind anything she really liked.
"Next?"
"I'm not cute all the time?"
Octavian turned a pout on Bobby.
Mordred went back inside when the ambulance was coming and ran his hand trembling through her hair.
"You'll be alright, Gwen. You have to be alright."
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah grabbed her bags and left the store with Demetria, then pointed to a music store.
"Mind if we duck into zere? I need a new acoustic. Ok, I want a new acoustic."
Bobby kissed Octavian's pout.
"No, you're always cute, that's true."
Gwen fought to regain consciousness, but the pain became greater as she reached the surface, so she sank back down.
The Mavericks
Demetria giggled.
"Actually, I wouldn't mind buying some new music books."
"Well, that's good. Chocolate now!"
Octavian entered the store, dragging Bobby behind him.
Tears slipped down Mordred's face as he waited for the ambulance to arrive.
Not again. Oh god, not again.
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah grinned as they entered the store and a shop clerk came over, a young guy, dressed in baggy blue jeans with chains hanging off them, and a black shirt with 'No Use For A Name' written on it.
"Can I help you?"
"Oui, I am looking for..." Rebekah rattled off the details of what she was looking for. "Possibly a Gibson J200?"
"Sure, come this way..."
Bobby chuckled and let himself be dragged into the store.
Gwen opened her eyes, then closed them again.
The Mavericks
Demetria browsed through the piano books, flicking a few out to buy. Soundtrack score from 'Lord of the Rings', Fellowship and Towers. Oh, and the Shrek one as well. A book of classical, one of blues and ragtime.
Octavian picked up a container of body chocolate, looked at it, looked at Bobby and smiled evilly.
"God, where are they? Don't die on me, please," Mordred said.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah bought the acoustic, and then rejoined Demetria, looking over the guitar tabs.
"You know, we girls should form an opposing band."
Bobby grinned.
"I have some of that back home actually."
A siren indicated the ambulance's arrival, then a group of medics running into the room.
The Mavericks
"Yes, that could be good," Demetria said.
"Can you write music? Because I can play, but to write it is another matter entirely."
"Well, that's home not here, and I was really planning on using it today," Octavian said.
"Oh god, help her, please," Mordred begged.
"Stand back please, sir," one of the paramedics said.
Rebekah and Gwen
"I can write and play," Rebekah confirmed. "And of course, I sing."
Bobby grinned.
"I think I like the sound of that..."
A tall man stood at the top of the stairs, watching silently, holding the other end of the tracking device.
"Filthy things."
The Mavericks
"Oh good."
Demetria smiled and went to pay for her music books.
"So you should," Octavian said, before he went up to the counter.
As well as buying the body chocolate, he bought about fifty dollars worth of assorted chocolates and oher sweet sugary goodness.
"I'm a very good f*ck. Least so I've been told."
Mordred watched them load Gwen into the ambulance and got in with her. He sat in silence as the sirens wailed, watching her.
Rebekah and Bobby
"Where to now?" Rebekah asked as Demetria finished purchasing her items.
Bobby grinned. "You are an excellent f*ck."
He paused to kiss Octavian deeply.
The medics inserted a needle into her arm, applying the universal blood, very reluctant to do anything else until they had her in the hospital.
The Mavericks and Logan
"I don't know...the Markets, maybe?" Demetria suggested.
"And hello, Logan. You can stop lurking now."
Logan lit his cigar and smiled slightly.
"And tonight you can f*ck me," Octavian said, kissing Bobby back and moving the other teen's hand to rest on his ass.
"C'mon. I need some new pants."
The tears continued to slip down Mordred's face.
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
"Bonjour Logan."
Rebekah smiled faintly.
"Oui, markets sound good."
She'd organised to have the guitar sent on to the hotel.
Bobby grinned and followed after Octavian.
"Yeah, I want some boardies."
They arrived at the hospital, and Gwen was wheeled away from Mordred, into surgery.
The Mavericks and Logan
"Bus, I don't feel like walking all the way there," Demetria decided.
"No 'porting?" Logan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, I don't know the area well enough to 'port blind."
Octavian walked into a men's clothing store and started to browse.
Mordred paced up and down the waiting room.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah nodded and followed Demetria to the bus stop.
Bobby selected a pair of denim shorts, in his size, then winked at Octavian and headed into a change room.
A doctor came out to see Mordred, a grim look on his face.
"Mr Lwellyn?"
The Mavericks and Logan
Demetria sighed and shook her head at Logan.
"Honestly, we can look after ourselves."
Logan just raised his eyebrow and leant against the frame of the busstop. It buckled slightly.
Octavian smiled slightly and picked out a pair of dark blue leather pants. He headed towards the changerooms as well.
"Yes?" Mordred said anxiously, turning to face the doctor.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah giggled softly and boarded the bus when it came, paying and giving the destination.
Bobby decided to get the shorts, and put his pants on and headed out, to pay.
The doctor sighed.
"There's no major damage... the pipe missed all of her vital organs, however, obviously, she'll be in some considerable amount of pain..."
He paused.
"I know this is an awkward question, but... would you know of anyone who would want to hurt your wife?"
Logan and The Mavericks
Demetria and Logan boarded after Rebekah. The bus started and pulled away from the kerb.
Octavian gave the pants back to an assistant after he'd tried them on and got redressed. He went and waited for Bobby near the front door.
"Maybe..."
Mordred bit his lip.
"She doesn't work in what you would call a friendly profession."
Bobby
They arrived at the Markets shortly after, and piled off the bus.
Bobby sauntered over to Octavian.
"Where now?"
The doctor nodded.
"I see... look... to be very blunt and to the point... do you hit your wife? Because she has some unexplainable bruises, which can't have come from the fall."
The Mavericks
Logan ambled along behind Demetria and Rebekah, looking glower-y and dangerous.
Demetria sighed, looked around, squealed and dragged Rebekah to a stand.
"Pretty shiny things!"
"No idea," Octavian said.
"Want to go get something to eat, maybe?"
Mordred recoiled and looked at the doctor in horror.
"No bloody way! Not me, mate! I *don't* hit women, ever. Especially not my wife."
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah joined in the squealing and skipped over to the stand, grabbing a pair of sunglasses and putting them on, giggling.
"What do you sink? Movie star like?" she giggled.
Bobby licked his lips.
"Yeah, sounds good."
The doctor nodded.
"Right, well... look, she'll need to stay here for a few days, we want to keep an eye on her... she... maybe you should come see her for yourself."
Logan and thew Mavericks
"Very attractive," Demetria laughed.
Logan rolled his eyes.
"Logan, if you insist on watching us, you get to carry the bags and listen to the squeals of absolute joy. How much is this?" she asked, turning to the store owner and pointing at a silver necklace of flowers in a Celtic style.
Octavian leant over and kissed Bobby briefly.
"We can wander and if you see anything you want to eat, just say and we'll stop. I'm actually in the mood for some Chinese or something. Maybe sushi."
"Alright..."
Mordred nodded and followed the doctor slowly.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah grinned and put the sunglasses back.
She eeped at the sight of a silver charm bracelet, and began to converse with the shop owner.
Bobby smiled faintly.
"Sushi sounds good."
The doctor opened the door to Gwen's room and allowed Mordred entrance.
"We're still... concerned that she hasn't yet regained consciousness... but, she'll know you're here, if you talk to her. I'll let you have a moment."
He left.
The Mavericks
Demetria bought the necklace, as well as the bracelets, anklets, and earrings that went with the necklace. And the hair clasp.
"Eat you later, promise," Octavian purred and nipped at Bobby's lips.
Mordred swallowed and made his way to the bed.
"Hey, love...the doctor said you could hear me, and maybe you can, maybe you can't. Love you."
He bit back the tears.
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah pointed to another store with more shiny objects and dragged Demetria over there, after buying herself the bracelet.
Bobby kissed him hard, hand squeezing the other teen's butt.
Gwen moaned softly and her eyes fluttered.
The Mavericks
"SHINY! PRETTY!"
Demetria did the bounce and clap of ecstatic joy.
Octavian moaned softly into Bobby's mouth.
"Or we can...just head back to the hotel now."
Mordred couldn't keep the tears back any longer as he sat next to her in the chair by the bedside.
"Gwen...you gotta live, alright? Eavan and Bryant would miss you too much."
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah giggled and squealed at a belt that had chains hanging off it.
"So cute."
Bobby grinned.
"I vote hotel with room service."
Gwen's eyes opened, staring blankly at the ceiling for a moment, then closed.
The Mavericks
"Very," Demetria agreed.
She picked up a belt of black leather with heavy square metal plates bolted to it and ran her fingers over it.
"This is cool."
"Yes," Octavian said breathlessly.
"Right, taxi, bus, something that's quicker then walking."
"Gwen..."
Mordred put his head in his hands.
"You have to wake up, love. I know how much it hurts, but you promised always. I love you, and I can't live without you."
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
"Ooh, zat is very cool..." Rebekah turned to the shop owner and paif for the belt, and grinned delightedly at the clothes stall next door to the stall they were at.
"Taxi."
Bobby nodded and flagged down a taxi and hopped in, giving directions to the driver.
"Mordred..."
Gwen opened her eyes slowly.
The Mavericks
Demetria bought the belt in her hands and then entered the shop next door.
"Pretty," Demetria said, running velvet through her fingers.
Octavian ran his fingers lightly over Bobby's crotch, eyes blue and guileless.
"Gwen. Oh god, you're awake."
Mordred leant down to briefly brush his lips over hers.
Rebekah, Gwen and Bobby
"Very," Rebekah agreed, then grabbed a pair of white pants that tied up at the sides, from toe to hip.
"Oooh."
Bobby bit his lip and was grateful when the taxi pulled up at the hotel. He jumped out, paying quickly and wrapping his arm around Octavian's waist as they went into the hotel.
Gwen tried to smile, but gave up with the effort.
"Hi, amin liy. You've been crying, what's wrong?"
The Mavericks
"Nice," Demetria commented.
"I need something to make Remy's eyes go wide when we go back home. Help, please?"
Octavian grinned slightly and waved slightly at the clerk as they headed over to the lifts. He pressed the button for them and pulled Bobby into it. It was empty. Octavian grinned as the doors closed and they started upwards, sliding his hand into Bobby's pants.
"I thought..."
Mordred gulped in a breath.
"I thought you weren't going to wake up, ever. God, there was so much blood, cariad, so much..."
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah nodded and looked around.
"Ooohhhh."
She pulled out a small skirt, about the width of a medium sized belt. It was denim.
"That is cute... get that."
Bobby moaned and kissed Octavian hard, sliding his hand into the back of the other teen's pants and sliding a finger in, searching out his prostate and finding it.
Gwen raised a weak hand to brush his tears away.
"It's ok. I'm ok."
The Mavericks
"Yes!"
Demetria grinned and rummaged through the tops.
"Something to go with it..."
"Oh god, Bobby!"
Octavian arched back onto Bobby's hand, moaning.
"I know, I just..."
Mordred kissed her hand, tasting the salt of his tears on it.
"I thought I'd lost you."
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah frowned and ran her hand through the clothing rack and pulled out a low cut, almost see through white halter neck, which tied up at the back.
"What about this? It comes in blue, pink and yellow too."
Bobby kissed Octavian again, and pulled him out of the lift when the doors opened. They found their room and Bobby hurriedly opened the door.
Gwen smiled faintly.
"I'll always come back to you."
The Mavericks
"Yes..."
Demetria smiled.
"I'll get it in a couple of colours, I think. Anything but the pink."
Octavian kicked the door shut behind them, kissing Bobby hard.
"God...lube. Need lube. Where's my bag?"
Mordred pressed her hand against his cheek.
"I was so worried."
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah nodded and picked out a black halter neck top, and went to try it on.
Bobby kissed him hard, pushing Octavian against the wall and slipping a hand down the front of the other teen's pants.
Gwen smiled.
"I'm sorry, amin liy."
The Mavericks and Logan
Demetria picked out a couple of tops and went to buy them and the denim skirt.
Logan took the bags she handed him without protest.
Octavian moaned into Bobby's mouth, bucking into his hand.
"God, Bobby, f*ck me!"
"You've nothing to be sorry for," Mordred said.
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah selected her items and bought them, then went to rejoin Demetria.
"So... what time did Storm want us back?"
Bobby licked at Octavian's lips.
"Where's your bag?"
Gwen closed her eyes for a second.
"I love you..."
The Mavericks
"She didn't specify a time," Demetria said.
"I want some new jeans too...and a coat. And something to give Remy, besides me in those clothes."
"Oh god, I don't know..."
Octavian tried to think.
"Near the bed?"
"Love you too, always," Mordred said softly.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah nodded.
"Ok, then let's go there," she pointed at another clothing store.
Bobby dragged Octavian over to the bed and found his bag. He rummaged through and pulled out the lube and then went about the task of helping him out of his clothes, while trying to pull his off at the same time.
The doctor walked back in.
"Ah... you're up. Mr Lwellyn, we're going to have to ask you to leave, she needs to rest."
The Mavericks
"Yes. Hmmm..."
Demetria started to flick through the racks.
Octavian pulled his own shirt over his head, then pulled Bobby's pants down. He kissed Bobby hard, getting rid of the last of his clothing.
"Do you want me to stay?" Mordred asked Gwen, ignoring the doctor.
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah selected a pair of faded tight blue jeans and eyed them, then decided to get them.
Bobby opened the lube and spread it on his fingers, then slid them inside of Octavian, scissoring them slightly, still kissing the other teen.
Gwen nodded slightly.
"Please."
The Mavericks
"Mm."
Demetria pulled out a pair of jeans and ran her hands down the material. Hmm. Superflares. Nice. Button ups. Nicer. Yes. She'd buy these.
"Oh GOD!"
Octavian's back arched.
"Bobby, f*ck me, f*ck me NOW."
"Alright."
Mordred turned to look at the doctor.
"She wants me to stay. I'm staying."
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah took the bag and handed them to Logan, smiling slightly, waiting for Demetria.
Bobby kissed Octavian hard, then moved into the right position and nudged into him gently, lifting the other man's legs over his shoulders, so they were face to face.
"Very well. I'll be back shortly to check on you."
The doctor left again.
Gwen turned pleading eyes on Mordred.
"Can we just go back to the hotel? I... I don't want to stay here."
Logan and The Mavericks
"Mmph."
Logan rolled his eyes. He seemed to be doing a lot of that.
Demetria smiled at him sweetly, and then handed him *her* bag.
"Next store, Bek darrrrling?"
"I'm not going to break, Bobby," Octavian said.
He tightened his muscles around him.
"You were really hurt," Mordred said.
"I think you should stay here."
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
"Next store," Rebekah agreed and took her hand and half ran, half skipped to the next store.
Bobby nodded and leaned down to kiss him, thrusting into him hard, and moaning out.
"Ah, f*ck, Tav..."
Gwen sighed.
"Yeah... alright..."
The Mavericks
Demetria giggled, drawing eyes as she flicked her long hair.
"Goodness, I had forgotten how much fun this could be."
"Exactly," Octavian said breathlessly.
His eyes rolled back in his head as Bobby nudged his prostate.
"God, Bobby!"
"It'll make me feel better," Mordred said, kissing her hand.
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah grinned.
"Fun!"
She found a long dusky pink, woollen coat.
"Ooh, pretty."
Bobby started to thrust in and out, slowly at first, then increasing his rhythm, leaning down to kiss the other man forcefully.
"God... Tav..."
Gwen nodded.
"Ok... for you... but... really, I feel ok."
The Mavericks
"Mmm, pretty," Demetria agreed.
"The colour suits you."
Octavian moaned, kissing and nipping at Bobby's lips.
Mordred raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Whatever reason you need to believe. You're staying in the hospital."
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
"Merci," Rebekah replied, smiling.
She decided to get it.
Bobby kissed him back, teasing Octavian with his tongue stud, thrusting in and out, then reaching down and stroking his length.
Gwen winced slightly.
"Ok, it hurts a little. But..."
She saw that she wasn't going to be able to argue with him.
"Fine, I'll stay. But you might want to call someone and tell them where we are."
The Mavericks
"Don't *really* see anything I want," Demetria said.
"We've got a few weeks. I can cope."
"God, Bobby!"
Octavian moaned, hips rising to meet Bobby's hand and thrusting back onto his length.
"Plan."
Mordred nodded.
"Vort, me and Gwen are in the hospital. She got hurt."
"I'll tell Storm."
"Vort'll tell them."
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah glanced at her watch.
"Should we get back? Get dinner with the rest?"
Bobby moaned and panted slightly, bending his head to kiss him deeply.
"Taaaaaavvvvvv, God! You're so... f*ck..."
Gwen nodded.
"Don't leave me..."
The Mavericks
"Yes, I think so," Demetria said.
"We'll catch a cab?"
"Bobby, oh god," Octavian panted.
He tightened his legs around Bobby's waist, forcing him deeper.
"I won't. Promise," Mordred said softly.
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah nodded and led them from the Markets, and flagged down a cab, and they all piled in.
Bobby moaned loudly, going deeper.
"F*ck, Tav... f*ck..."
He closed his eyes as he came, hand moving over Octavian's length quickly.
Gwen closed her eyes and fell asleep, hand weakly curled around Mordred's.
The Mavericks and Sergei
Demetria browsed through her prchases again, giggling slightly.
"I can't wait to see Remy's face."
"Bobby!"
Octavian came, hands tightening in the sheets.
Mordred rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand, watching her.
Meanwhile, Sergei was doing some innocent shoppig when his image manipulator sparked, flickered then cut out. The Russian looked around at the shocked customers and swore very sincerely, then legged it. Hopefully he could get back to the hotel before anything really bad happened.
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah grinned.
"Take a camera, to show me his reaction!"
Bobby kissed him softly, slowly thrusting.
Gwen smiled slightly in her sleep.
"Love you..."
The Mavericks and Sergei
"Will, promise!" Demetria laughed.
"Or get Tavvie to do it."
Octavian moaned helplessly, hands fisting in the sheets.
"Love you too."
Mordred bit his lip and settled in for a long, sleepless night.
Sergei cursed the fact that if he actually defended himself with his powers, he'd wind up wiping out half the city as he got backed into an alley. Et'bis. He was *so* screwed. Sergei curled his hands over his head and around his stomach as the first stone flew. If he was lucky, they'd stop before he died...
Bobby, Rebekah and Gwen
Rebekah giggled and then sat up straight as they neared their stop.
Bobby teased Octavian with his stud, letting it lightly touch his prostate, then pull back.
Gwen reached sleepily for Mordred's hand.
"Don't worry about me... I'm ok..."
The Mavericks, Logan and Sergei
Demetria laughed as the taxi pulled up, paying the driver. Logan got out, encumbered with many bags.
"He's being so helpful, isn't he, Bek?"
Logan growled slightly.
Octavian moaned.
"Oh God, Bobby, please..."
Mordred took her hand in his.
"You will be, I know."
Sergei blacked out as a rock flew into his temple.
Bobby, Rebekah and Gwen
Rebekah smiled.
"Oui, thank you, Logan."
Bobby let his stud touch Octavian's prostate for a few moments longer, then started the steady line of thrusting again.
Gwen squeezed his hand lightly as she opened her eyes and smiled at him.
"Are you ok?"
Shannon, Julie and Rogue
"I do not make Shannon look like a slut," Julie said.
"Julie, you're getting her to try on those short vinyl skirts -"
"There's nothing slut about them."
"This coming from the slut queen."
Shannon giggled. The girls were on their way back to the hotel.
"The slut queen?" Julie repeated.
"Yes," Rogue affirmed. "The Queen of Sluts. It's like a new suit in a deck of cards."
"Hmm... so who's the king then?"
"Octavian. Or Bobby. I'm not sure. But whichever one is the King, the other is the Jack."
"What about the Ace?"
"You know, that's a good point -"
"Hey, what's the crowd over there?" asked Shannon.
"Don't know," Rogue said. "Let's see."
The girls tried to peer over the heads. Finally, Julie just tapped someone on the shoulder.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Mutie," the man sneered. "Ugly brute too."
Rogue and Shannon stifened.
"Really?" Julie drolled.
"Yeah. But the matter has been dealt with."
Julie nodded and looked at her friends.
The Mavericks, Spike and Logan
Logan rolled his eyes and followed Demetria and Rebekah to their room. Demetria giggled, then rolled her eyes as they passed Bobby and Octavian's room.
"God, Bobby, yes!"
"Really, you would think the walls would be thicker," Demetria said to Rebekah.
Mordred sighed.
"I'm fine. I don't like seeing you hurt, that's all."
Spike and Vortigern came up to the girls.
"What's going on?" Vortigern asked.
Spike looked at the mob and growled.
"That's Sergei's blood."
Rebekah and Gwen
Rebekah giggled as a loud "Oh f*ck TAVVVV!" sounded from the room.
"Oui, or you'd think zey would learn to be quiet."
Gwen smiled.
"Hey, I'm not hurt. I'm fine."
She nodded slightly.
"So I order you to stop worrying."
Julie, Shannon and Rogue
"Sergei?" Shannon repeated.
"The dude over there said they had dealt with an ugly brute of a mutie," Julie paraphrased.
"We have to get him out of there... I hope he's still alive..." Rogue said, chewing her lip.
The Mavericks, Logan and Spike
"Least you can't smell them," Logan said.
Demetria patted his arm as she unlocked the door to her and Rebekah's room.
"I feel for you, I really do."
"Yeah, right, love," Mordred said, smiling slightly.
"Here we go again..." Spike said, shaking his head.
"I'll get him. Hope he's still alive. This mob is right nasty."
And with that, Spike plunged into the crowd of hate filled humans. Vortigern bit his lip, watching his lover's bleached blond hair move through the mob to the front.
Rebekah and Gwen
Rebekah nodded.
"I can't smell them, but I can feel the emotions strongly and... actually... would zey kill me if I switched them off?"
Gwen smiled at him.
"Are you going to ignore my orders, love?"
Rogue and Julie
"I wish we could do something," Rogue said.
"My best suggestion would be to get away," Julie said. "You guys are... well, y'know... and I'm not... lot more risky for you guys out here."
The Mavericks, Logan and Spike
"Quite probably," Demetria said, taking the bags from Logan.
"Thakn you, Logan."
"S'ok, kid."
Logan shrugged slightly then moved down the hallway to his own room.
Octavian moaned and clenched deliberatly around Bobby.
Mordred didn't say anything and kissed her gently instead.
Spike reached the front of the mob and dragged Sergei from under a pile of rocks and rubbish. The youth was limp and unresisting as Spike draped his duster around him. The mob didn't seem to realise yet that its prey had been stolen from it.
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
"Merci Logan," Rebekah said and then walked into her room. She smiled at the sight of her new guitar and immediately moved over to tune it.
Bobby threw his head back and came, kissing the other teen hard.
Gwen kissed him back.
"Stop worrying, I know you too well," she said softly.
Rogue, Shannon and Julie
Rogue, Shannon and Julie waited impatiently for Spike to return.
"I hope he's all right," Shannon whispered.
The Mavericks and Spike
Demetria dumped her bags on the floor, then flopped back onto her bed. Mmm. She couldn't wait to show Remy what she had bought today. She smiled slightly.
Octavian moaned into Bobby's mouth, nipping at his bottom lip.
"So you do," Mordred said.
"Let's get back to the hotel," Spike said to them briefly, before taking off.
"C'mon, let's go," Vortigern said to the girls before running after the vampire.
Rebekah, Bobby and Gwen
Rebekah pulled out her shoe boxes and grinned happily.
"Shoes!"
Bobby slid his hands across Octavian's chest, panting slightly.
Gwen sighed.
"No worrying. I order you to stop."
Shannon
The girls followed Spike and Vortigern back to the hotel.
"Is he okay?" Shannon asked.
Octavian, Mordred and Spike
Octavian kissed Bobby lazily.
"Mmm."
"Yes, ma'am," Mordred murmured.
"Hopefully he will be," Spike said tersely, shifting Sergei slightly as the lanky youth's feet dragged on the ground.
Spots of blood dotted the pavement behind him and Spike struggled to keep his demon under control.
"We'll find out when we patch him up."
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby kissed him back.
"Well, how fun."
Gwen smiled faintly.
"Love you. Always."
Shannon and Rogue
Shannon nodded. Rogue gave her hand a squeeze.
"I'm sure he'll be fine."
Mordred, Octavian and Spike
"Quite," Octavian said, stretching slightly.
He was almost glowing with sated pleasure.
"Love you too," Mordred said.
"Love you too."
Spike led the group through the lobby discreetly, knocking on Storm's door once they got up to their floor.
"Storm, find the medkit."
BObby and Gwen
Bobby rolled over next to Octavian on the bed.
"Room service?"
Gwen smiled faintly at him and closed her eyes.
Storm found it and opened the door.
"Got it, come in."
Rogue, Shannon and Julie
"C'mon," Rogue said, putting her hand on Shannon's shoulder. "There's not enough room for us in there. We'll go to our room."
Shannon looked reluctant.
"Dun worry," Julie put in. "I'm sure they'll let us know what's happening when they know something."
Shannon shook her head finally and followed them down the hall.
The Mavericks and Spike
"Mmm, yeah," Octavian said.
"'Scuse me if I don't feel like getting up yet. But food would be good."
Mordred stroked her hand briefly, then settled back into his chair.
"I'll go wait in our room, love," Vortigern told Spike.
The vampire nodded and kissed him briefly before entering Storm's room.
"His image manip must have stopped working," he told her briefly.
"We found him a couple of streets away being pelted with rocks. We'll need to find out if there's any internal damage, or broken bones."
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby nodded and reached lazily for the phone.
"I could still go sushi, wanna get some of that?"
Gwen smiled faintly and let her head roll to the side.
Storm nodded.
"Right, well, let's patch up what we can, and what we can't, we'll have to ask a teleporter to get him back to Hank."
She looked around.
"Could you get me a bowl of water?"
Julie and Rogue
"Okay," said Julie, entering their room. "I suppose we should unpack our purchases and put them away?"
"Unless you want to keep them the way they are until we get back to camp," Rogue replied.
Mordred, Octavian, Spike and Sergei
"Sushi would be nice," Octavian said.
Mordred steepled his fingers together, brooding slightly.
Spike nodded and started to patch up Sergei.
The Russian came violently awake half way through it, throwing a punch at Spike's (to him) blurred face. The vampire swayed back and caught the teen's hand softly.
"S'ok, mate. Just Spike 'ere."
"I..."
Sergei panted, wild eyed for a few moments.
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby lifted the phone and ordered the sushi and then hung up.
"Hmmm, maybe I should put pants on."
Gwen hissed in a pained breath, then relaxed.
Storm helped hold Sergei down, and gently dabbed at his wounds.
Octavian, Spike, Sergei and Mordred
"Probably a good idea," Octavian said lazily.
"Don't want to shock the employees. They get that so often, poor things."
Mordred started upwards slightly, then relaxed when she did.
Sergei hissed in a breath, dazed cobalt eyes blinking, silvery pupils shining oddly in the light. He relaxed slightly.
"Feeling woozy?" Spike asked.
"A bit...I...borzhemoi, I wanted so much to show them exactly how much they should fear me..." Sergei said slowly.
"But ya didn't."
Sergei looked at him bleakly.
"I could have taken the entire city with me."
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby pulled his pants on just as there was a knock at their door. He stood, ran a hand across Octavian's shoulders, grabbed some money and opened the door, took the food, tipped the woman, who took in his nipple ring and messed hair with a smirk, and closed the door.
"Food."
Gwen gingerly pressed her fingers to her stomach and hissed, but relaxed again.
Storm nodded.
"I don't think anything major is broken, maybe just some ribs, but... you did the right thing, Sergei. I know that doesn't count for much now, but..."
Octavian, Mordred, Spike and Sergei
"Food is good," Octavian said, sitting up slightly.
"Sushi is especially good."
Mordred watched her.
"Shouldn't touch the stitches, love. Let 'em heal."
Sergei breathed carefully and sat up to let Spike strap his ribs.
"It would have been so easy..."
He smiled slightly.
"If the rest of us hadn't been here, I might have."
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby nodded and put the food down on the bed.
"Yum."
He licked his lips.
Gwen nodded sleepily.
"Mordred..."
She extended her hand out to him.
Storm sighed.
"This is exactly why I don't like humans very much."
Octavian, Mordred and Sergei
Octavian leant over and licked them for him, then picked up one of the pieces of sushi. He put wasabi on it, then ate it.
Mordred took her hand and squeezed gently.
"Sleep."
"Join da f*cking club," Sergei said.
"My mother is the only human I've liked. And Julie. Dat's about it."
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby grinned and took a piece of sushi and dribbled some soy sauce on it, then took a bite.
Gwen nodded and closed her eyes.
"Love you."
Storm sighed.
Octavian, Mordred, Sergei and Spike
"This is rather good," Octavian said.
"Surprisingly so."
"Love you too," Mordred said softly.
Sergei got up off her bed, dabbing at one of the cuts near his eyes with the edge of a towel.
"Thanks."
"No probs, mate," Spike said.
"Don't go to sleep."
"I've had a concussion before, I know."
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby nodded and swallowed.
"It is... we don't have to do the dinner with Storm and the others, do we?"
Gwen squeezed his hand and went to sleep.
Storm tucked some hair behind her ears.
"Alright."
Octavian, Mordred and Sergei
"No..." Octavian said.
"At least, if we manage to disust her enough, we won't have to."
He grinned.
"We should invite Julie."
Mordred watched her sleeping, worried frown on his face.
Sergei nodded at them both, then left, one hand pressed carefully to his side.
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby nodded.
"Wanna call her?"
Gwen flinched slightly and moaned.
Octavian and Mordred
"Sure, why not..."
Octavian got up, stepping into his pants and doing then up before going to the door.
"Hey, Julie!"
Mordred made sure she was still asleep, then settled back.
Julie
Julie opened the door.
"You hollared?" she smiled.
Octavian
"Julie, come over here for a bit," Octavian said.
He made a pout face at her.
Julie and Rogue
Julie giggled.
"Why, what's in it for me?"
Rogue groaned and pushed Julie out the door.
"Hey!"
"I'm not going to hear it," Rogue said firmly, and shut the door.
Octavian
"Chocolate," Octavian said.
"Much chocolate. Also in spreadable kinds."
He tilted his head slightly and grinned.
Julie
Julie's face lit up.
"Chocolate! I love chocolate!" she grinned broadly.
She bounded over and put her arm around his waist.
Octavian
"And you don't love us? I'm crushed," Octavian said, before pulling her into the room and closing the door.
"Chocolate is of the good."
He kissed her lingeringly.
"Hmm. Chocolate Julie..."
Bobby
Bobby stood up and walked over to Julie, putting his hands on her hips and kissing her neck.
"Hey Julie..."
Julie
"Hey Bobby," Julie replied.
She tilted her neck slightly.
"Y'know, I never said I didn't love you," she grinned.
Octavian
"So, you do love me?"
Octavian made a cute face, widening his eyes.
Bobby
"Awwwwwwwwww."
Bobby licked at Julie's neck and then nipped at the skin.
Julie
Julie giggled.
"What's there not to love?" she asked.
She slung one arm around his neck and pulled him over so she could kiss him. In the meantime her other hand... got busy with Bobby.
Octavian
"Very true," Octavian said.
He kissed her quite throughly.
Bobby
Bobby moaned softly and slid a hand down her pants and rubbed at her.
"You should just stop wearing underwear," he decided.
Julie
Julie made a noise that was somewhere between a moan and a giggle.
"I'll consider it," she said, before resuming her kissing of Octavian.
Octavian
"Mmmm..." Octavian purred.
"Let's move this to bed, shall we?"
Bobby
"Mmm, good plan."
Bobby lifted Julie up and carried her to the bed and placed her down gently on it.
Julie
Julie grinned, then leaned up and gave Bobby a kiss.
"Hmm, I don't see why you guys get to be shirtless and I don't..."
And she proceeded to remedy the situation.
Octavian
Octavian knelt on the bed next to her, smiling slightly.
"Nice of you to be fair."
Bobby
Bobby sat down on the other side of Julie and proceeded to help her out of her shirt.
"She's very thoughtful."
Julie
Julie grinned as she removed her bra.
"I do my best," she said.
Octavian
Octavian skinned out of his pants, before licking across her breasts.
Bobby
Bobby's pants were so loose, due to that fashion of wearing them low, that he just wiggled slightly as his pants fell down. He stepped out of them and then using his mouth, he unbuttoned the top of Julie's pants.
Julie
Julie lifted herself slightly so the boys got get her pants off easier. She giggled a little.
"So talented Bobby."
Octavian
"Very talented mouth," Octavian said.
He kissed Julie.
"Something we all have in common."
Bobby
"Thanks, guys."
Bobby helped Julie out of her underwear, then licked across her slowly.
Julie
Julie moaned softly and widened her legs.
"Such a talented bunch here..."
She kissed Octavian back.
Octavian
"I know," Octavian said.
He kissed her back, hand cupping her breast.
Bobby
"Lot of practice."
Bobby lowered his head and darted his tongue inside of Julie.
Julie
"It pays... off..." Julie replied, moaning a little.
She wrapped one arm around Octavian, rested the other hand on his chest and nipped his lip.
Octavian
"As with all good things, it pays to do them again, and again, and again," Octavian said teasingly.
He ran his hand down the curve of Bobby's back, kissing Julie back with enthuasism.
Bobby
Bobby chuckled against Julie before licking slowly over her. He created a lump of ice and used it to further stimulate her.
Julie
Julie moaned into Octavian's mouth and shivered a little. She massaged his chest gently.
Octavian
Octavian half sighed in pleasure, kissing Julie back gently.
Bobby
Bobby slid a finger into Julie, while his other hand went behind Octavian.
Julie
Julie moaned and dug her fingers into Octavian's back.
Octavian
So they had sex. Loudly and in many different positions.
Octavian stirred slightly and kissed Bobby, then Julie.
"Well, that was fun..."
Julie
"Mmm..." Julie agreed.
She turned her head and noted the time on the clock, yawning a little.
"Mind if I stay here the rest of the night?"
Octavian
"Not at all," Octavian said.
"I'm sure Bobby has no objections, do you, Bobby?"
Bobby
"What a silly question."
Bobby stretched out on his bed and pulled a sheet over himself.
Julie
"Oh good," Julie replied.
She curled up in the bed next to him and closed her eyes.
Octavian
Octavian arranged himself comfortably with the other two.
"If a teacher decides to look in, we'll...ignore them."
Bobby
"Mmmm," Bobby mumbled.
He rolled over and went to sleep.
