She had waited. She knew that in her way, Anna would tell her love. He would know. And all she had to do was wait.

When she felt it, she was there. Em sent out quietly, wrapping her arms around her love and cradling him back to her chest as she stood behind his chair. Nuzzling to the top of is head, murmuring softly about nothing and everything.

Arms wrapped back around her, head tilting up to meet her lips for a small kiss. Anna was the reason he had come to the Nexus. Anna was the reason he knew Emma. Somehow, her being gone might have seemed like some of that was taken with her. It didn't feel real. Adam blinked, exhaling softly between parted lips.

"Emma... Did you know she tried to kill me when we first met?"

And where to him it was less real, this moment, this thought of death made the man in her arms that much more precious. Holding to him tightly, kissing along his temple, his brow. Merely needing that close contact.

But at those words she blinks, a hard shudder running through her.

"No, no I didn't."

"She... She was hired to kill me from some whatever-the-name bounty hunters guild held in the Nexverse."

No more. A sudden halt came to his speech as bile ripped into his stomach. That pre-alarm. Don't say thing more.

Not yet.
