//------------------------------// // Morning After // Story: Fall Of The Solar Empire // by Lobby04 //------------------------------// It was almost morning, light was just breaking over the horizon. A yellow jeep pulled up to an abandoned house that Isabel hardly remembers being brought to last night. Since she'd been drugged and raped, anyone would wonder why she'd return to this place, when really last night she knew the risk of going home with some random stranger. She blamed herself for the whole thing. Her sneakers made a bit of noise on the gravel like road before she went to the beaten up door. Isabel barged into the room, only holding a water bottle in her hand. The liquid inside was cloudy and clearly not water. Everyone was passed out, Blitz the only one on the couch. "Hey, asshole, wake up." She grumbled shoving him around trying to wake him up. She'd brought over morphine for him to help with the pain she'd know he'd be feeling for the next few days. She waited to see if he'd wake up or if she should pour water on him. Blitz shot up awake, panting a bit. He looked down at the stab wound, which was now just a faded scar. He noticed Isabel holding the water bottle. Without a second thought, he began to gulp it down, but immediately spitting the vodka tasting liquid out coughing and realizing that it wasn’t water."What's wrong? I thought you'd like it if I made you medicine taste like vodka." She said with a fake whine. She couldn't help but giggle some at her own jokes to him, she didn't think he'd do much, she saved his life after all and he was most likely to weak to run, or even fly. She pushed her glasses up before handing him the water bottle once more. "There, it's gonna taste like water now. I'd drink that if I were you." She added, he looked at Isabel rubbing his burning throat. Blitz felt groggy as he stared at her. Almost inspecting her before quinting his hazy eyes. "Why did you save me?" "Cause you're cute" She said, motioning for him to move him to move his legs so she could sit down. Sitting down, she smiled some. Today she wore sweatpants and t-shirt, her coat hung at the door since she was inside. She looked at Blitz and grinned some. "Plus, I wanted to rub it in your face." She grabbed the water bottle only half full. leaning back some she waited for his smart ass reply. Blitz looked at her with a look that nearly screamed bitch; then he took the water bottle and drank it. He looked at her sideways then realized something; well two things. He recognized her from work. She had passed in him the halls. Likely dropping some things off, or something. The second… his hand hit his forehead, he didn’t want to admit it, but Isabel had in fact saved his life last night. He’d have been likely dropped in some dumpster by now if it wasn’t for her. "I owe you." He said flatly, looking at Isabel. "What do you want me to do for you?" Isabel nearly blushed, but she barely got pink. "You owe me?" She sounded stunned, she stood up looking at him with a look that was purely confused. " I saved you, I didn't buy you a drink or something I mean-" To her, what she did was most of- and expectation for humans. If someones dying, you go help them. Isabel scratched her head in frustration, "We could just forget about this- I mean there is nothing I really-" She froze, her mood shifting slightly. To a little more blunt, if not too direct. "Can you get me a better position in work?" She asked, she started getting excited now- Her gaze shifting into his cold eyes. She'd grabbed one of his hands as if she'd know this man for a long time- she waited like a little kid at Christmas. "Probably. I can do almost anything. You've seen that" he smirked. "What kind do you want? I can get you just about anywhere." He took another swig from the water bottle and rubbed the scar that was only a few hours ago slowly taking his life away from him. Blitz looked at her then, still amazed at her ability. While most would probably wonder why Isabel would be in a profession that was completely out of her talents- He just didn’t exactly care. "I want to be with the leading mages-" She knew exactly where she wanted to go. She felt like she was using him, and she felt almost guilty; until she remembered she was raped. This was totally fair. “Easy.” Blitz said with a nod. It wasn't the highest place, so it was likely easy enough to be put into there. She jumped up like a little kid. "Thank you, thank you so much-" She kissed him for a moment. Hey, it's not like they didn't mack-lips all last night. His lips still tasted like alcohol. The kiss lasted only a moment longer, a small glow coming from her lips. She got rid of his hangover. She pulled away, a smirk barely there on her lips. "My name is Isabel White, okay?" She said, figuring he didn't even know her name. She then pulled close, "I hope you keep your promises, because I can easily claim rape on your ass." She pulled away from him giving him a sweet smile. "Sound okay, Sweety?" Isabel tapped his nose gently. Blitz only began to cackle a bit, grinning wildly at her."Babe, even if you called rape, shit wouldn't happen to me. You were fair game." He felt the morphine beginning to kick in, and stood up,changing into some uniform that was on the ground. "See- they wont touch me, I’m the best they have. I fucking run this district." He pulled on his wonderbolts jacket and pushed his hair back. "I'm four days late to work. Ill get you a job Isabel, just wait for my call" he winked and headed out the door.
