Mordred and Vortigern
Mordred had been unbearable for the past few days. Gwen had gone on this job and he hadn't gotten a word. Not one. Not a phonecall, or a card or anything. He was officially unbearable, snapping and snarling in anxiety. Finally, Vortigern had had it and told his twin to piss off to LA and find her. So, that was what Mordred was doing. He 'ported to the lobby of the Hotel Hyperion, then 'ported out again as a crossbow bolt whizzed past him. He materialised behind Connor and grabbed him in a headlock. Connor struggled for a moment, and then Mordred fisted him in the kidneys. "I am very tense right now. I also really don't like to be greeted with a crossbow bolt." Mordred bent Connor's head back further, icy steel meeting brown eyes as Mordred also twisted Connor's hand to convince him to drop the crossbow.
"You shouldn't do that then." Connor flipped Mordred over his back and the mutant 'ported back to the floor.
"Up yours, destructo boy!" Mordred yelled, and then 'ported as yet another crossbow bolt zinged towards him. "All," port, "I'm," port, "doing," port, "is," port, "for," port, "my," port, "GIRLFRIEND, GURRIER!" Mordred snapped a heel into Connor's forehead and then backflipped over the banister. He landed on his feet, panting slightly. "STOP FIRING THAT BLOODY CROSSBOW! Or I really will *hurt* you!"
Connor snarled, and then sprang after Mordred. Angel grabbed him by the back of the neck. "Let GO of me!"
"Yeah, do that, mate, so I can KICK his arse into next week!" Mordred growled.
"You couldn't!"
"I seemed to be doing a bang up job of it!" Connor struggled in Angel's grasp. "I'm just looking for Gwen, that's all. She hasn't called since she left. I just wanted to know if she was alright."
"She went out to her job a while ago, and she hasn't come back yet," Angel said carefully.
Gwen
Angel indicated the door.
"Her job was earlier tonight... I assume if she's not upstairs, that she would be at her place. You could check there."
Gwen lay on her bed. She turned over slightly, enjoying the feel of her own bed. Her own sheets. Her own house. She suddenly realised how much she missed LA. But going back to LA meant leaving Mordred. Something she wasn't ready to do. Ever.
Oh. Mordred. Maybe she should give him a call.
Gwen reached for her phone when she decided she was way too sleepy to even think about that at the moment. She sat up, peeled her clothes off and slipped between the sheets of her bed and closed her eyes. Squinting in the light, she shot some electricity at the switch and her place became dark.
"That's better."
Mordred
"Ta, mate." Mordred pulled forward the collar of his coat with the same visual effect that a cat has when it suddenly breaks off a fight to lick at its fur. He gave Connor a cold stare. "You might wanna be a little less handy with your pointy sticks, kiddo. Next person probably won't be as forgiving as me." Connor snarled. "See ya round, Angel." He sketched half a salute and 'ported to Gwen's living room. "Gwen, love? You in yet?"
Gwen
Gwen stirred at the sound of a voice. The sleepy half of her brain told her to ignore it, and besides she was naked. There was no way she was gonna go see who it was while she was naked. Yeah, fighting in the buff, that's gotta be attractive.
So the sleepy half of Gwen's brain won out, and she rolled over, closed her eyes again and drifted back off to sleep. She wasn't wearing LISA so if someone touched her, they'd end up shocked and on the other side of the room. Which would give her enough time to get up and attack them properly.
"It's amazing the rationalising you can do when you're falling asleep." Gwen thought.
Mordred
"Gwen?" Mordred flipped on a light in the quiet house. He could feel her prescence now, and he smiled and headed towards the bedroom. "Gwen, love, dropped in for a visit, miss no call, no write. I was worried..." He knocked on the door before opening it.
Gwen
Gwen opened her eyes and shot some electricity at her lighting pad, turning the lights on. She squinted in the sudden brightness as she saw Mordred. She sat up, keeping her sheets over her.
"Hi Mordred. Sorry about that." Gwen reached over and put LISA on again. She beckoned for him to come closer. "Excuse the naked situation. Sorry I didn't call..."
Mordred
"Oh, I'm very fine with the naked. I like looking at you. It's the not calling that was an issue." Mordred came over and planted a very sincere kiss on her mouth. "Please don't do that again."
Gwen
Gwen kissed Mordred's cheek softly.
"Sorry, I've been busy while I was here, but I have been meaning to call. As soon as I got here, I crashed at the hotel, I was so tired. Then I had my meeting the next day... then just stealth training with Angel, and then tonight the job. Didn't leave me much time. I'm sorry babe."
Mordred
"Eh, Vort told me to piss off to LA and find ya cos I was being such a moody bastard. He was rather annoyed with me." Mordred grinned cockily and sat down on the bed. "As long as ya are ok..."
Gwen
Gwen grinned and kissed Mordred again.
"Yep, a bit tired, that's all. But I'm good now that you're here."
She lifted one arm and rubbed her eyes, the other hand still holding the blanket against herself.
"Job went well," she yawned. "Got paid as well. Novel."
Mordred
"So, why do ya do it then?" Mordred rolled onto his stomach, careful to keep his boots off the bed. "If ya don't get paid all the time...surely there's less hazardous and more reliable jobs out there you could do?"
Gwen
Gwen leaned over and kissed him again.
"Well, I do get paid mostly. Well all the time, even if I have to shock some people into it."
She grinned wickedly.
"Not that hazardous. Not with this handy dandy power of mine. So... you forgive me for not calling then?"
MOrdred
"Yeah, s'pose..." He pursed his lips thoughtfully. "Just please don't do it again, love? I was very worried."
Gwen
"I'm sorry... I'm not used to having anyone worry about me."
Gwen gestured around. "I've been alone much of my life. But I am sorry. There must be a way to wake it up to you though."
She grinned cheekily and moved her hand through his hair, leaning in to kiss him again.
Mordred
"I'm sure you can think of something. You're a very smart girl..." Mordred captured her mouth with his and toed off his boots.
Gwen
Gwen kissed Mordred and then moved on to his neck, lightly sending a little electric current into his body, which would just feel like a tiny electric shock.
"Hmm... how to make it up to you... maybe this might help."
Gwen let the sheet fall and she climbed out from behind them and on top of Mordred, still kissing his neck lightly.
Mordred
"Yeah, think that might do it..." We all know what they did. They shagged. Did the horizontal MMMbop. Made sweet luuuuuurve. Ok, over that now. Later...Mordred held Gwen in his arms and peppered little nipping kisses up her neck. "Do ya want to sleep here tonight, and go back to the school tomorrow?"
Gwen
Gwen nodded, her eyes closed.
"Yep... I don't feel like leaving my bed for now."
Mordred
He kissed her forehead. "Whatever ya want, love. I'm content to be wherever you are..." He closed his as well and listened to the gentle sound of her breathing.
