30 May 2004 - Meeting the Other One

Written by AiMsTeR and Tegan

Taylor & Christian

Christian rubbed his chin, before placing his helmet over his head and getting on his bike again. Joel had told Steel that Taylor was at the park he usually went to... Christian thought it was time he paid his original a visit.

~*~

Taylor sat alone on the bench - his bike by his side - waiting for Nin to show up.


N621

"Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out.
Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out of here.

Believe me, I'm just as lost as you.
Believe me, yeah, I'm just as lost as you..."

N621 bopped down the sidewalk, singing to herself. Her hands smoothed across her hips in a blatantly sexual movement, boot heels snapping along the pavement. Her shirt was hanging off one shoulder, hair wild like she'd just gotten out of bed.

She arrived in the park and looked around.

"And everytime I think I've finally made it,
I learn I'm farther away than I have ever been before.
I see the clock and it's ticking away.
And the hourglass empty, what the f*ck do I have to say?

Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out.
Please help me cause I'm breaking down.
This picture's frozen, and I can't get out of here..."

Taylor

Taylor was talking to one of the birds of the park, when another informed him of her presence. Waiting until he could hear her, he rose from his seat and smiled in greeting.

"Your voice is beautiful this morning," he said, looking her over.

"Just like the rest of you."


N621

"You're one crazy man, yo," N621 laughed, putting one hand on her hip and batting her eyelashes flirtatiously.

"But you talk so nice."


Taylor

"Crazy in love, that's what I am," Taylor grinned, before closing the distance between them.

"And you're crazy beautiful."

He kissed her, before lifting her from the ground and beginning to sing some of the song.


N621

N621 put her arms around his neck, fingers sliding through the short hairs at the nape of his skull.

"Crazy beautiful, I think I can handle."


Taylor & Christian

"Great. Then we're in agreement."

Taylor carried her over to a nearby grassy spot, before falling to his knees and letting her down beside him. Then he just collapsed lazily.

Christian meanwhile had made it to the outer regions of the park, and sat up on his bike to see if he could catch sight of Taylor.


N621

"How you been, yo?" N621 asked lazily, reaching over to nudge him in the side with her finger.

She yawned slightly.

"Man, it's too early..."


Taylor & Christian

Taylor shrugged slightly, before turning his head to look at her.

"Nothing much I can say. The usual."

He reached his arm out and fiddled with her bootlaces playfully.

"I'd like you to meet my brothers in the next couple of days... if you're willing."

Christian grinned as he caught sight of him, before quickly changing his helmet into a dark pair of sunglasses. Revving the engine, he took off up the path.

Taylor's head shot up as he heard the roar, then squinted as he recognized the bike. It was... his. Only not.

He sat up, his eye on the bike. As it got closer, his eyebrows raised.

"What the...?"


N621

N621 shrugged slightly.

"Sound fine to me, yo."

She leant up to see what he'd seen.

"Know that dawg, yo?"


Taylor & Christian

"Wait up..."

Taylor stood as the biker drew up and shut the engine off beside them.

Christian grinned.

"How are you, Taylor?"

Taylor hesitated, a little taken aback by his sudden appearance.

"Been better. Yourself?" he frowned slightly.

"Oh, I've been great," Christian smiled, pulling the huge black trench coat from his shoulders revealing just his black muscle shirt and spider pendant.

And his newly acquired muscles.

Taylor looked him over.

"You look good."

"Yeah I know. Who's the chick?"


N621

"My name is Nina, dickwad," N621 snapped.

"You could ask me yourself, yo. Jackass."

She stood slowly, muscles moving fluidly like a predator's as her eyes gleamed with anger.


Taylor & Christian

Christian raised his eyebrows and began to get off the bike as he looked her up and down.

"Little girly's got a big mouth on her, whoever she is," he said, looking down on her.

He pinched her cheek, before Taylor knocked his hand away.

"Leave her alone. What are you doing here?"

"Just checking on you. Chill," Christian insisted, his hands up in surrender, "Blakesley been giving you sh*t lately?"


N621

"Don't f*cking touch me, prick!"

N621 wiped at her cheek where he'd touched her angrily, eyes spitting sparks. SHe bared her teeth in an unfriendly snarl.

"He usually piss people off this quick, yo?"

She had started to give a report on this person with Taylor. Who smelt like him, but not. Facial features similair, but distorted by the black hair and eyebrow piercing. His mention of Blakesley made her tag it top priority.


Taylor & Christian

"Hey, don't start with me," Christian warned before Taylor grabbed his shoulder.

"Leave her alone," he repeated, "and yeah... he's been hanging around. Why the interest?"

"Why do you think?" Christian scorned, "the only reason I got out last time was because osme other asshole decided he wanted my ass to display to the world."

"Who?" Taylor frowned.

"Lulu. Racer. You probably don't know him."

"Yeah, I do," Taylor hesitated, looking him up and down.

Christian was still eyeing Nina off.

"So, you from around here girly?" he raised his eyebrows, even though Taylor was between them.


N621

"LA, yo," N621 said.

"Not that it's really any of your damn business. The 'rents moved, I moved. And don't call me girly, ass."


Taylor & Christian

"What, you're gonna stop me?" Christian raised his eyebrows.

"I'll call you whatever I want, girly."

"Chris, can we do this some other time? Huh?" Taylor practically pleaded with him.

"But see... here's this thing," Christian began, scratching his eyebrow, "you're only either here, or at the apartment with your brother. Who hates my guts. And I'm only going to be here for a few days. I plan on enjoying this two week vacation thank you very much, and that's not going to happen here."

"Then can you call me or something?" Taylor raised his eyebrows, "you're always in contact with Steel, and he has my number."


N621

"F*cker," N621 muttered.

She didn't dare use her empathy or telepathy in front of Taylor, and she was pretty sure the guy had empathic and telepathic shields. Just had that vibe she was trained to recognise. She eyed Christian for a moment, then shrugged. He pissed her off, she was trained to fight, what the hell?

She stepped forward slightly, then back onto her heel, hand reaching up to grab Christian's arm. Continuing her smooth movement, she threw him with an Aikido move, sending him over her shoulder and onto the ground. Dusting her hands off slightly, she stepped back out of range of his feet.

"I can make you if I wanna, asswipe. Don't call me that. Tends to make me all shades of angry. Next time I'll kick you in the balls."


Taylor & Christian

Christian raised his eyebrows from where he was laying on the ground as Taylor smirked.

"Someone doesn't recognize me," he said finally, looking toward Taylor.

He yawned and stretched out on the grass.

"As to that, I'm gonna follow you around for a while. Girly."


N621

"Stalker much?" N621 snapped.

"Get a life. One where I don't see you."

Or smell you. Her nose twitched faintly in disapproval.

"And like I care who the f*ck you are. Some guy with an attitude and a hard on, waving his dick around like it'll impress somebody."


Taylor & Christian

"Oh if you insist," Christian smirked, grabbing his crotch area and moving it around.

"Why don't you do something more productive with your own life instead of dictating others'?"

"Shut up Chris," Taylor scorned, "can I just... can you just leave me to have a normal afternoon with my girlfriend? Please?"

Christian hesitated, then sat up sharply.

"Your... 'girlfriend'?" he almost sneered, his eyes on N621.


N621

N621 blew her fringe out of her eyes, mismatched eyes glacial.

"Why, wanna make something of it pindick?"

She cracked her knuckles with an angry flex of her hand.

"What business of yours is it anyway?"

She blinked slightly as she recieved a deluge of infomation on Christian Thomas. Mostly covered with bug red warning signs. Whoops, too late. Someone should have pulled their thumb out of their ass earlier.


Taylor & Christian

"I'll have you know it's quite my business," Christian's frown stayed plastered on his face as he looked her over again.

He looked up at Taylor.

"What happened to Mouse?" he demanded.

"It's over," Taylor frowned in return, "and it's not of your concern."

"It's over?" Christian finally stood from the ground, "since when, and why?"

"It's not of your concern," Taylor poked him in the chest, "just back off and let me get on with my day in peace."

Christian hesitated for a moment, then started shaking his head.

"I'd go and see her if I didn't think she'd flip out on me," he ran his fingers through his hair.


N621

N621's expression flipped from angry to bored.

"Jesus, whatever. Can you not quit bitching?"

She looked at Taylor.

"He annoys me. Worse, he bores me. I'll be elsewhere until he leaves."

She waved a hand casually and headed towards a tall tree.


Taylor & Christian

Christian watched after her, his eyes falling to her ass. Taylor hit him on the arm.

"And would you mind not checking out my girlfriend?"

Christian shrugged.

"I'll find out from Steel what's going on anyway," he said as he brushed grass off himself and grabbed his trenchcoat off the bike.

He looked over at N621 suspiciously.

"How long have you been going out, just out of curiosity?"

"A few days," Taylor shrugged.

Christian nodded, before getting back on the bike.

"Her English is a bit off, yo," he mimicked, before starting the bike.

He backed it up a little.

"See you 'round, Taylor."

Taylor watched him ride off, before frowning and heading over to Nina.

"Sorry about that," he apologized, slipping his hands into his pockets, "really, sorry."


N621

N621 sighed, straddling one of the branches as she lay across it, looking down at him.

"I've come across enough assholes in my life to know all you can do sometimes is leave, yo. They're arrogant, stupid and loud. I just don't want to have to put up with it."

She fell out of the tree, landing on her feet with an agile twist of her back.

"He's not your fault anyway, yo."


Taylor

"No..." Taylor watched after where he'd disappeared.

"He just likes to cause a lot of trouble around here. No doubt you'll be seeing more of him in the future."


N621

"Shit."

N621 frowned, then reached up to run a hand through Taylor's hair, smiling coyly.

"Forget him, yo."


Taylor

"Wish I could," Taylor rolled his eyes.

He leant forward and kissed her.

"But nevermind. Today is all about you."


N621

N621 smiled slightly.

"Wow, I feel special."

She kissed him again.


Taylor

"Well I'm glad you do," Taylor grinned, "because you are."

He ran his fingers through her hair, before indulging in another groping session.
