PART 7: A TANGLED SORT OF LOVE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--- M'GANN (continued) ---
"Now, um..." When M'gann turned around, she saw Shelley and Nina on the bed in one-anothers' arms, watching them with smiles on their faces and M'gann could tell they both thought what had happened between her and Talia was... beautiful. Lina though, was standing in front of Derick Grayson and looking into his eyes, touching his face.
"They were in love." Talia explained. "I could go fetch Lilhy and the boy from the van if you want?"
M'gann shook her head. "They're on the way already."
"You can come sit with us?" Nina offered to Talia.
Talia looked at them, then down at Jean-Paul's body. M'gann saw where Talia was looking. "I wish he hadn't... he had a very sad life, didn't he?" M'gann asked.
"He was my friend's friend; very loyal to her... Could you save his body? I would like to revive him for her, once my father has been dealt with. My... my father has Bruce, you know. My beloved will rise again. Once my... once my father deems it time." Talia explained.
M'gann looked to her, then shook her head a little, feeling a little out of it actually. "This world has so much variety in it, doesn't it? I think I like that... sometimes at least." M'gann offered. To know someone who thought of bringing a person back from the dead as common place, she could hardly wrap her mind around the oddness and seeming complete inequity of it all. Fuck, she missed Artemis so much. "Lina?" She asked.
"Yes?" Lina turned to her, going over to her. "You want me?" She asked hopefully.
"Yes, I do." She told her honestly. "Do you want him?" M'gann asked, referring to Derick.
Lina looked into her eyes. "I, um, I'd kill him for you if you wanted me to, but, um... yes, I think I'm still, I still love him." She admitted softly.
"If you could have anyone you chose for a lover, but only that person, no one else, who would you choose?" M'gann asked.
Lina looked into her eyes, clearly considering things. "You or Ivy, I can't... I can't choose." She admitted. "I love you both, so much."
"He's not even in the running?" M'gann asked gently.
"Huh? Derick? No, not even close." She smiled. "I love you so much more than him, and I love Ivy too... I'd do anything..." She told again. "Anything you want... please, love me?" She asked, touching M'gann's lips with her fingers.
"What hold you have over her..." Talia observed. Lilhy and Tim walked in then and Talia got up to go to her friend. "Lilhy, my heart..." She touched her friend's face reverently. "You have a hold of her too, not like.. not like them, but you do." She spoke softly. "Let her go? Please?" Talia asked.
Then M'gann remembered--Talia and Lilhy, they'd had an affair. They'd told no one, kept it very secret. Talia loved this woman, wanted to be with her. She'd just... she'd just been afraid. M'gann let Lilhy go.
"Talia?" Lilhy asked.
"I'm here, my love." Talia spoke softly.
Talia kissed her passionately and M'gann smiled, sitting down on the bed. Lina sat down beside her and snuggled up to her.
"You'd really just kill him if I asked? Just like that?" M'gann asked, curious and a little scared by that.
"Of course, just ask." Lina offered, cuddling up to her a little more.
Morbidly, M'gann kind of wanted to do that, just to see... just to see someone do something like that to win her... The impulse gave her chills and made her ashamed. It was something a normal white Martian would think of. It scared her. M'gann caressed Lina's face, then met her eyes and bore into her mind. She knew enough to do this. She looked deeply, sort of hid the roots in her mind from her. Saw what, who, Lina was, what she would want. And, really, it all was down to two things: She wanted to find love, and she wanted some sense of justice or fairness in the world.
M'gann offered her those things, showing her who she was, who Ivy was, but clearing her mind of much of the growing near-total devotion and desire she felt. "What do you want me to do for you?" She asked Lina softly.
"Kiss me?" Lina asked hopefully.
M'gann shook her head and let Lina go. She'd failed. She looked into Lina's eyes and they looked back into hers with a somewhat different quality. Maybe she hadn't failed completely? M'gann moved to her and kissed her, without even consciously having decided to do so. "What now?" She asked.
"Make love to me?" Lina asked softly.
And M'gann wanted to do that even more than she had before. She looked at Lina and understood what she'd done. She'd made a link between them, entwined herself with this woman, so that what Lina asked her to do, she was feeling considerably compelled to do. The roots in them both wanted to grow, not be stifled. And then she saw it, what hadn't been apparent to her before. She saw Lina, the real Lina beneath it all, and Lina was happy and at peace. It was like the plants--they just felt joy and loved Ivy just for being near. Lina felt regret, for Derick, because she did love him, but the world had opened up to her, and she realized this... was a better way to live. She wanted to be the way she was. Mostly. She had doubts, mostly about herself, worrying if there was something wrong with her for liking being the way she was, for not having been accepted by Ivy the way she wanted. She remembered Ivy from college and felt stupid now for not saying yes to her then. She hadn't understood what it would have been like. And she was starting to understand what Ivy was about, how she wanted to protect the green. M'gann kissed Lina again. "Whatever you want." She promised, deciding she might as well go with it, because, well, it felt really good.
"Mm, I love you." Lina told.
"Mmm..." M'gann moaned and tried to clear her head a little. She looked at Talia and Lilhy. Talia was smirking a little at her, Lilhy was snuggled up to her, Talia holding her protectively. "There's a room you can have together?" She offered, sensing Talia just wanted to be alone with her lover now. She mentally sent her directions to the room.
"Have fun, I suppose." Talia offered. M'gann could tell Talia still had her doubts about how right it was, how M'gann had so much power over Lina.
"Talia... I couldn't take that away very much, so I gave her power over me too. I didn't even mean to do it, she's just so tangled up with me and Ivy now..." She smiled a little helplessly. "It's the best I can do for now."
Talia just shook her head, having been sent a fuller mental explanation. "Just be careful, M'gann. I have a feeling, you might just be getting yourself into trouble you may not like later." She advised as she and Lilhy left.
M'gann looked after her and wondered about what she'd said. Then Lina kissed her and she pretty much forgot about it. "Mm-" She pulled away. "Just a second." She got up, causing Lina to moan a little in frustration and follow her.
"What is it now?" She complained.
M'gann smiled at her. "I have to send these two away to sleep." She explained, touching Nightwing and Robin on the foreheads. They turned and left. "They'll go to a room and fall asleep." She told Lina. "They won't wake up until I wake them." She explained further. "Ivy can decide what to do with them then."
"So, now?" Lina asked.
"Now, we make love... If you still want to I mean." She teased, touching Lina's cheek.
Lina kissed her hungrily. "A world of yes." She kissed her again, dragging her over to the bed and falling onto it with her. Nina and Shelley laughed happily.
"Can we join in?" Nina asked hopefully.
"Can they?" Lina asked.
"Whatever you want--I'm yours now I think." M'gann admitted, having let Lina's connection with her grow unchallenged. She now wasn't sure she -could- stop doing what Lina wanted her to even if she wanted, at least not in a way that wouldn't be harmful to both of them.
"Me too, I'm yours too." Lina answered. "We can belong to each other..."
"Us too..." Shelley offered, kissing Lina's neck.
"All yours." Nina added, playfully nipping at M'gann's ear.
"Mmm, yes... just don't stop..." She let herself become absorbed in the contact, expanded her mind so their thoughts started to flow together. Their desire for her, the connection they had, bound her like chains to them, and she was uninterested in freeing herself. She had to keep it under enough control so it didn't do damage, she reminded herself; because it could go very wrong if she let herself slip too much. It was a struggle to care though, about anything but the three women who seemed to own her right now. In the back of her mind, she registered Ivy and Silver as they fell asleep down under the greenhouse. She liked the feel of Silver and Ivy sleeping together like that; it was peaceful and beautiful. She wanted that, to fall asleep with a lover, or three as the case may be, after making love and to know you were secure, loved, had a place. She and Shelley kissed, then she and Lina kissed, and she was on her back, and she split herself partly, so she had two heads, two chests, two sets of arms and legs, back to back, then she did it a third time, so she could make love to all three at once. It was easy to multitask a task like this. She grew vines and leaves and flowers from her body and twined them around them all, the vines and roots let her separate her sub-bodies a little more freely while still staying connected. The scent of the flowers that bloomed from her was amazing, and the feel of just growing... being... it would be so easy to get lost in that...
Before long, she almost lost track of herself. Lina's fingers in one of her sex, Nina's in another, Shelley giving her oral sex, while she pleased them all, felt them, kissed them, knew them, and let them know her--no secrets, no walls. She let their desires rule her, flow over her... It felt just really, really nice. To be with someone again, to let them in, to not be alone again. It had been so long since she'd felt this... so long since Artemis... the hurt of that loss still fresh and painful. She just let herself soak in the love she was being offered, the intimacy she'd been so long denied. She was greedy for it. The unfairness of being without it, of knowing someone like she'd known Artemis and then to have her brutally ripped away. To hurt so so much from that all the time, she realized just how desperate and hungry she'd let herself become for any kind of real intimacy. And this was so... so easy... so beautiful... Their feelings for her...
She knew one thing--she never wanted to be without this again. Without acceptance, home, or most especially love. To protect that, she told herself, she would do whatever it would take. Kill, murder, hunt, betray, she would do those things gladly.
Her whole life before it happened, she told herself that she'd been right, that her people didn't have redeeming qualities. But now, so long a time later, she thought how wrong she'd been. If she had been more like her people--more ruthless, perhaps she would have been able to protect Artemis? That... that would have been worth anything. Anything at all. It was a thought she didn't like; she didn't want the world to be like that--she wanted the world to be like it was now: happy and peaceful and full of love and passion.
And so she let herself get wrapped up in her lovers now; not thinking, just being with them. She gathered them closer together and moaned as they all reached their orgasm together. One of her faces smiled happily as she felt herself become completely relaxed and at ease with her lovers. She wasn't meant to be alone, and she wouldn't let herself be that way again--she was determined on that.
--- TALIA ---
Talia led Lilhy along by the hand to the room M'gann had showed her and closed the door behind them. "What's going on?" Lilhy asked, her hands on Talia's shoulders, her body pressed in close. Talia held onto her waist.
"I decided to switch my allegiance, I suppose." Talia explained. "M'gann; she's so powerful we couldn't do anything to oppose her, and she chose this Ivy woman over her former allegiances."
"So, there's no choice? Is that it? We're prisoners because she betrayed us?" Lilhy asked.
Talia shook her head a little. "Not prisoners. She says she'd let us go, just us, if we promised not to oppose her; and she let me see into her mind, so I believe she means it. I... don't want to go though. I agree with why she's doing this. Ivy believes in so many of the same things my father does--that the world has grown corrupt and dirty and that the green, the wild world, must be protected and restored. No matter what my father may be, what he asks of me, I have always believed his cause is just... Now, I simply... find I have another option. One that lets me have what I want most in the world."
"And... what's that?" Lilhy asked.
"You." Talia answered softly, honestly. "...It's you I've always wanted, ever since we met. No one else..." She caressed her cheek. "I have simply... been afraid to seize you, to defy my father for you. Even before, I have been partial to taking women to my bed more than men, though my father has never approved. But now... now I will see him dead, Lilhy--M'gann has promised me this--and when he is truly, permanently dead, then I will be free to be with you."
Lilhy was caught in her eyes, she could tell. "And... if we can't trust them?" She offered. "If they are as mad as your father?"
"Then... then at least I will have you. My father would never allow this. But, the Martian showed me this Ivy with her telepathy, and, more than knowing, I feel that... while she is dangerous, and has the convictions of a zealot, she also very much feels love deeply... and she is like us... gay. She wouldn't deny us our love for each other, because she loves as we do... In any case, I believe we may well be able to trust her." Talia explained.
"Jean Paul is dead." Lilhy answered, a little bitterly. "His life is worth so little to you? Even... Bruce's life?" She asked that last even more bitterly, turning away from Talia.
"My love, no..." She replied, bringing one hand to Lilhy's shoulder and stepping closer to her. "No. I... Much as it would have made me sick to do it, I would have murdered Bruce myself if it were for your sake." She told softly, bringing her other hand to Lilhy's waist and pressing her body against her back, holding her in a way that showed deep love, but not possessiveness. "His hold over me was never so much as yours will ever be." She comforted her.
"And Jean-Paul...?" She asked.
Talia paused. She knew full well how much the man meant to her lover. To her he was, something of the feeling of a son or a brother perhaps; a close friend, surely. They had fled together from the cult that had been their home, and come to her for sanctuary. "You did not see him. The madness had him at the end... I do not blame Catalina for her actions in protecting M'gann from him, tragic though it was. And, in any case, once my father has been dealt with, we may bring him back, may we not?" She coaxed.
Lilhy turned in her arms and met her eyes. "Then... I will follow this path with you." She answered, resting her head in the crook of Talia's neck.
Talia stroked her love's hair and held her close. "I love you Lilhy... More than anything in the world... I am sorry... I am sorry if I have not always been brave enough to let my actions be proof of that truth. But... but I will do so now. Lilhy, what I want most of all, is for you to be my wife. Will you..." She got down on her knees before her. "Will you marry me, Lilhy?"
Lilhy looked into her eyes. Talia met them without fear and saw Lilhy smile softly to her. "Yes Talia, yes..." She fell to her knees as well and kissed her lover with ardent love and resolve. "I will." She promised.
Talia got up and held her hand out to Lilhy, Lilhy took it and Talia led them to the bed.
--- IVY ---
Ivy woke up later that night, around midnight, Silver snuggled up peacefully in her arms. She realized she couldn't sense M'gann at all anymore; it confused her a moment, but then she remembered half-felt, half-dreamt feelings of passion. M'gann making love... with Lina... also Nina and Shelley. She didn't quite know what she thought about that. About what happened with M'gann all together. There hadn't really been a choice of course. If she hadn't won M'gann over, everything she'd done would have been for nothing, almost certainly. She'd be in jail, maybe dead; either way, she'd have failed, and she'd have possibly never even -seen- Silver again.
The bond they'd started with M'gann, it must just not have been strong enough to last with M'gann asleep and not maintaining it, Ivy guessed. Still, the idea of marrying M'gann wasn't at all objectionable to her, she assessed, as long as she and Silver were still together. She liked the woman, and M'gann wanted to help her. Was so lonely too. So hurt. And she certainly was beautiful, inside especially. No, M'gann was about as ideal a life partner as she could imagine. A sexy blonde green-skinned woman who agreed with her principals, was a genuinely kind person, was one of the most powerful beings on the planet, and who didn't mind killing for her if she asked her? She'd be insane not to see the appeal. What was bothering her most was just the idea of sharing Silver with another person. She thought of Hailey and how Hailey'd gotten so angry with her for not feeling that way towards her. Ivy had honestly not thought it even made any sense, wanting to be with just one person. Now she understood it. She looked at Silver's sleeping face, brushed a few locks of hair from her face, felt the tug there, deep inside her, and oh how she understood it now. It was almost... primal. "Yours..." She spoke the word softly, feeling at once silly for saying it, and somber for the truth of her heart the word laid bare. She belonged with this woman--even felt that she belonged -to- her somehow, and she very much wanted Silver to be hers in return, all hers. She wanted Silver to want her, to want to give herself to her, freely. She wanted Silver to love her. All the way. Wanted Silver to want her, to claim her for her own, just as fiercely as Ivy wanted to claim Silver. To have her, have her down to the depths of her soul.
Her course crystal clear, she disentangled herself from her lover, being careful not to wake her. She was going to free Silver, right away, and do whatever she had to in order to keep Silver as her own. Marrying M'gann or not was irrelevant. If M'gann still wanted to, she'd say yes. Besides the green, Silver was what was most important to her in life, she knew that now. That it was a sure and certain fact for her. Like the green.
As she started over to the counter where she had what she needed, she looked at Marsy on the table, still unconscious. She didn't want him here for this, she decided, he was too repugnant. And the sooner she was done with him and he was back with his wife, the better, as far as her plan was concerned. She'd gotten sidetracked, before, but the plan required her full attention, didn't it? After that was done, then Silver.
She went to the central counter and put things back in order a little. Even in her fury before, she hadn't damaged anything that she'd need for this. She carefully prepared the needle, one like the kind used to administer adrenaline, brought it over to Marsy, and jammed it into his chest, injecting the contents. He made a slight, breathy moan at this; convulsing a little moments after. She went and prepared the next shots. When she got back to the table, Marsy was sweating and moaning a little, still not awake.
"Ivy?" She heard Silver's sleepy voice.
"Silver? ...Sorry about this... I didn't mean to wake you." She went over to her immediately and brought her hand up to caress Silver's face. Silver smiled happily and leaned into the touch.
"Mm... feels nice." She moved in, propped up on one hand, to kiss Ivy. Soft, sweet, lazily passionate.
Ivy kissed her back, her head swimming a little with happiness at the kiss. "Mm, now I'm glad I woke you up." She amended softly, kissing her lightly again.
"Me too." Silver agreed, snuggling up to her. "You're doing the thing, with Winton Marsy now, right? I shouldn't distract you." She assessed, moving back a little. "Can I come watch?" She asked.
Ivy smiled a little questioning. "Sure, but, um, why would you want to?" She asked.
"I just like watching you, doesn't matter what you're doing." Silver softly confessed.
Ivy smiled, very charmed by that. "Even turning a sleazy Texas oil tycoon into a walking bio-weapon, meant for mass-murder?" She asked, a little playfully.
"Only you could make that sound sexy." Silver answered back playfully.
Ivy laughed a little and got up, leading Silver by the hand. "I, um, I already gave him the first shot." She told her as she lead Silver over to the table and left her there to go retrieve the other two hypodermic needles from the table.
"He doesn't look very comfortable after that." Silver noted, her eyes on Ivy, only having glanced at Marsy. "Will he wake up?"
"Mm, probably not yet." She answered, walking over to the table; Silver had been leaning against it facing her, but she turned around so she was facing Marsy beside Ivy when Ivy came over. "I'll probably have to give him something to wake him up when the time comes." She added, administering the next shot in his arm, then turning him over and pulling down his pants, giving him the third shot in his butt. "The things I have to do sometimes." Ivy shivered a little in revulsion as she pulled his pants back up for him.
"I wish the world were a better place, so you wouldn't have to do these things..." Silver spoke, stroking Ivy's hair a little.
Ivy smiled. "I'll make it better." She answered, meeting Silver's eyes and touching her face. "We can, together. Then, maybe I'll get to live in that world with you... If I have my way, that's what will happen, in any case." She kissed Silver as though to seal this dream into being between them.
"I'll... I'll do everything I can to help you. I... I promise Ivy." She pledged, her eyes looking scared, but also conveying faith. Faith in her, Ivy realized.
Ivy kissed her again, lingering in the kiss and backing away reluctantly, biting her lip a little. "Could you, um, could you go get Gustav and Raul for me, please?" She asked softly, meeting Silver's trusting eyes. "I'll um, I'll need them to take Winton here back to his wife for us."
"Um, of course..." Silver agreed, swallowing and nodding, making to leave.
"Hurry back." Ivy asked softly.
"If I'm not still ridiculously in love with you after I'm free, I'm confessing it right now, I'll be the dumbest woman on the face of the planet." Silver told as she left.
Ivy smiled a little at that, though it did also make her feel a little scared. She looked down at Marsy and was angry with him for some reason. At Luthor too. For being there, for not just killing themselves or something, and saving her the trouble of all this. She turned Marsy over on his back again. He was motionless again, in a dead sleep, but also sweating like a pig; he smelled, badly, which was just one more dumb problem she hadn't anticipated (her test subject, an unscrupulous corporate lawyer for a chemical plant that was an egregious polluter, had been in fit shape and this hadn't happened with her). She cringed a little. She didn't envy Gustav or Raul right now. Woken up in the middle of the night to wash a fat, old, piggish man and drive him home. She made a mental note to herself to do something nice for them soon, when she had the time, to make it up to them. Maybe a weekend at a bed and breakfast or something...
In any case, they all had their work to do, didn't they? Ivy went to another counter and pulled a small, squirming mass of vines from inside the water and mud. She kissed it and took it over to Marsy. "I'm sorry about this, little one. But, try to thrive, for me? Even if the soil I give you to may not be of very good quality." She stuffed the seed plant into Marsy's mouth and held his mouth and nose closed until he convulsively swallowed. He let out a breath like a sigh. "It won't be long now, I suppose."
And soon, sure enough, his belly started to ripple and his body shudder in sleep. She leaned against the counter, watched, and waited. There was a possibility he'd wake or maybe even die, she supposed. He wasn't in very good physical shape after all, and, while the woman she'd tested this on wasn't exactly athletic either, she hadn't been fat or appreciably out of shape, other than being frail. She'd been younger too, in her early forties. She was a bit mad at herself for not taking that into account and finding a test subject that was closer to Marsy's level of poor health. If he died, it would set her plans back months, at least.
A mistake.
She shivered a little. She lived in fear of making such mistakes. Every delay, every mistake, every strategic choice to wait until the time was right, every time she thought too small, every time she couldn't figure out a better, cleverer way to accomplish something--it all meant that the green might be suffering longer or more deeply because she hadn't been good enough. She tried not to think about it very often, because she knew if she did, it might cause indecision--might lead to more mistakes, but at times like this, she couldn't help indulging that fear just a little.
By the time Silver returned with Raul and Gustav though, Marsy had settled down and was sleeping somewhat comfortably again. She went over to check on him, just to be sure, and Silver came over to her and put her hands on her waist, got close to her, and sniffed her hair a little. "I had them get dressed for driving. What now?" She asked softly.
Ivy shivered just a little and smiled, her skin heating up just a bit. "Now, um..." She swallowed. "Now I wake him up."
Silver backed up a bit and Ivy turned and went to get a little bit of something from the table, then went back and put it under Marsy's nose. He startled awake right away, a blank and bleary sort of panicked look in his eyes. In her other hand, she had one of those mace-style sprayers and she sprayed it in his face and touched his cheek, and she could see him almost immediately fall under her influence and relax from his previous state. "Where am I?" He asked, sounding a bit dreamy.
"With me; does anything else matter?" She asked gently, testing him to see how surely he was under her hold.
"Well, no, ah guess it don't at that." He answered, smiling at her like an adoring puppy. Which kind of made her stomach a little queasy, to be honest. 'Breeders', she thought. She honestly didn't understand it. It just seemed so... unnatural to her, to have a man look at her like that.
"Good. Now, you'd do anything for me? Anything at all?" She asked.
"I'd... I'd move heaven and Earth if I could, Ms., no lie." He told her. "Just name it."
"It's nothing much, really. Just a friendly favor. I just need you to go with my other friends here; they'll get you cleaned up and take you to your wife. Once you get to the hotel, I just need you to act like your normal self, like nothing's amiss, and you never met me. I need you to go to that party Lex Luthor's throwing tomorrow. Talk with him, conduct your business just like normal, casually ask him about his interests in Brazil at some point, and report everything you learn back to me later. Be your normal self, don't let on anything about me. Can you do that?" She asked him.
"Easy as pie." He answered confidently.
"Good. I knew I could count on you." She gave him her best attempt at a smile and motioned for Gustav and Raul to come over. "Silver told you everything you need to know?" She asked them.
"Yes Ms., everything will be as you say." Raul nodded.
"Good. Better get going then." She told them, and, Silver holding her hand and leaning on her shoulder, she watched as they left. She'd only told Marsy those things, to ask about Brazil and to report back, to make sure he was at ease. Luthor's businesses in Brazil were innocuous enough as far as she knew, but there had been speculation about a new manufacturing plant there and about mining rights for untouched acres of rainforest. It was one of the reasons she wanted to kill Luthor now so badly, to save that land. So, having Marsy ask about Brazil was both just something for him to do, to focus on, to keep his mind at ease; because no doubt he'd assume the question was to get some inside information to know what to invest in, to make money. When in fact, he was going there to be the equivalent of a suicide bomber. But the question was also a little to give Luthor a hint at least, to accuse him of his crimes, if in a small way, before he was put to death for them. Kind of her way of saying 'was it worth it, you murdering bastard?' before she killed him at a distance.
The idea of someone tearing up all that rainforest, killing all that precious life, just for money--it infuriated her through and through. Anyone, -anyone- who would be involved in something like that needed to be put to death for it as soon as possible. To her mind, there was just no other way to handle it. These people were unrepentant murderers who were putting everyone else in the world--plant, animal, and human--in grave danger just for the sake of their own insanely short sighted greed.
Silver stepped closer to her and hugged her, Ivy hugged her back and closed her eyes. When Ivy broke off the hug, she moved in and kissed her lover. Just an easy, intimate sort of kiss, followed by another and another. The make-out session had her feeling much better by the end, and she did have to end it--if she didn't, she'd drive herself a little mad probably. No more delaying, this was happening.
"Ready?" Ivy asked.
"...As I'll ever be." Silver smiled softly, touching Ivy's face and looking into her eyes with trust and a little worry.
Ivy left her and went over and took something out of a drawer. She brought it over to Silver and crushed it in her hand. It gave off a strong flowery/earthy sort of smell. Silver smiled, obviously enjoying the scent. Ivy smeared a little of it on Silver's lips, then kissed her. Silver kissed her back immediately. It was another long make-out session and finally Silver broke away, and looked at Ivy as though... as though she were really seeing her for the first time. Surprise, shock, confusion all played over her features.
"Silver?" Ivy asked softly.
"I..." Silver just looked at her for a long, lingering moment, then closed her eyes, shook her head, and backed away. "I need to sit down." She spoke, going over to the bed and sitting there.
Ivy just found herself kind of frozen there, watching her, willing for it to be okay. For this not to... not to hurt as badly as she knew it could. As heartbreakingly badly as she knew she'd just given Silver the power to hurt her.
Silver finally looked at her, met her eyes again. "I don't know what to say..." She admitted softly.
"Okay, um, how about... Do you still love me, Silver? Do you still want to... to be with me?" She asked.
"You made me your slave. It didn't feel like that... at all, but, I mean, really, no matter... no matter what I felt for you, that's what it was, wasn't it?" Silver asked. Not accusingly, more still a little in shock.
"I won't pretend it was right." Ivy answered honestly, taking a step towards her. "Just... necessary."
"Right..." Silver replied, looking down at her hands. "Necessary." She repeated.
"Silver, I..."
"Yes, alright? Yes." Silver told her, looking back into her eyes, a little anger there.
"Yes... what?" Ivy asked.
"Yes. Yes I still love you. And yes I still want to be with you. That's what you wanted to know, right?" Silver answered, crawling into the bed and going over to sit against the back of the bed in the shadows, her legs pulled up to her.
It was like a flower bloomed in Ivy's heart just then, and so much fear and pressure just went away. It was going to be alright. It really was. She'd have to work at it, she was sure she'd have to, but she'd made the right decision--he knew it now, for sure. Silver really was hers now, she just had to love her, be her friend, her lover--and soon, it would be even better between them than it had been.
She walked across the room and sat on the edge of the bed. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked softly. "I'm... I'm here for you. I want this to work between us."
Silver looked up at her, their eyes met. "...I think I just need to be alone for a while..." She answered finally.
"...Um, alright. I'll... I'll be up in the greenhouse then." She told, getting up and leaving reluctantly. She stopped by the table Marsy'd been on though and put her hand on the side of the table, leaning on it a bit. "Can you... This will all turn out all right between us though, right? In the end? We'll be together?" She asked, not turning around.
Silver was silent.
Ivy started to walk out of the room, figuring that she should do what Silver asked.
"I hope we will." Ivy heard Silver's voice say softly just as she was almost out the door. Ivy turned around a little and smiled.
"I'll be up in the greenhouse." She repeated softly, feeling much better about leaving now.
