[ rl with Elektra + Owen : cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear ]

[hereafter_candy]

There was little in her life that Candy actually had to be grateful for, but the one thing above all others were her new friends on the community. The people had all become like a family to Candy, and whether they liked it or not she was a pretty permanent fixture in their lives. That's why whenever one was hurt or in danger she could do nothing

Of course if you asked Elektra she wasn't kidnapped. She just found a lull in her day, decided to spend it with Candy, and hey why not include Owen? He was always a source of entertainment. Deep down she was worrying too. She had gotten attached to someone who was even more of tragedy than she was. Unlike with Rita there was no one willing to give her the information she needed to guarantee things ended differently. It was a pain to say the least.

But that wasn't something she wanted to focus on right now. She just wanted to be here with them and blow off steam. It was just like she told Bruce; it was these moments together that would make even a dark future worth living.

With that in mind, Elektra flashed a winning smile at her younger companion as she prepared drinks. "You know when Owen finally gets in here we need to make a big deal out of it," she said jokingly. "We should have grabbed a welcome home banner at the store."

It was unusual for Owen to stay so late at the Hub; he usually liked to be out of there when the usual workday was over. Tonight, though, he'd had to stay later than usual, working on medical studies and doublechecking Retcon dosages. Just in case, he'd thought, even if it was more because Jack had asked him to.

Still, it turned out that staying late was a good idea; he'd taken long enough to get home that, somehow, two lovely women had managed to break in and start making drinks. When he managed to open the door and enter, finding Elektra and Candy in his flat - he almost had a heart attack, though he hid it well. "Jesus," he muttered, raising a brow at them, "Don't you know not to break into a man's flat?"

Now that you mention it, Elektra, Candy definitely thought a 'welcome home' banner might have been perfect for this situation. But before she could even answer the statement there's the sound of keys in the door and a young man standing in the doorway. Candy was a little disappointed he didn't show that he almost had a heart attack. She'd really been looking forward to that.

Instead of answering Elektra Candy turned back to the drinks to finish pouring the last of the three, passing one to Elektra and holding another out for Owen. She then slipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out the lonely key on her keychain and flashed a grin.

"It's not breaking in if I have a key, just so you know. Welcome home!"

Elektra was a little let down by his reaction as well. Half the fun of showing up unannounced somewhere was the reactions it got. She was not here for humorous reactions... at least not yet. She fully expected by the end of the night to have plenty to keep her amused for a while.

Elektra raised the drink and smiled brightly at Owen. Yes, she was going to make a big deal about him being here with or without the banner. "Welcome home!" Her voice lowered, clearly amused. "And it's just like she said. You gave her a key now you have to deal with the consequences of it. Like sitting here with us and drinking for example."
