Shit really started to hit the fan. When it rained, it poured. And all the other lovely little idioms that he could think it ever since he wasn't able to get a hold of Havoc on the phone. Raiden had decided to stay inside and completely hermit himself out -- trying to clean the last of the love sauce off of his body. Really, he could just feel it on his pores even if he knew that he took more than enough baths for it to be gone. Didn't make eating any easier either. His nose wrinkled slightly as though he smelled something rotten, but he supposed that he probably was. Traveling down into the Abyss wasn't ever pretty and given how crazy things seemed to be going, it wasn't going to be easy either ( ... )

It was too easy. When it came to Havoc, there was no such thing as a challenge on a battlefield, no opponent that could get close enough to oppose her; she had gunshot scars on her abdomen from one lucky sniper that mad managed to predict the pulls and currents of the wind at least somewhat accurately, enough to clip her side and throw her off before she killed him too-falling debris that hit her head, little things like that were the closest she had ever properly gotten to being in danger when she actually used her powers. It was why the military had felt little need to make sure she was in decent physical condition most of the time (because if you looked at her, she never had been, a wraith of a child and then a wraith of a woman her entire life) and why no one bothered to cover her in battle. Covering her meant death. Being near her meant death ( ... )

"What the hell's the matter with you?" It was the only thing that he could think of saying at that time. Not the most intelligent or even getting to the heart of the matter. Of course, he was afraid of her -- who wouldn't be? But, she was also his friend. One of the few friends that he allowed himself to admit to having. Raiden rubbed his face as he tried to get the anxiety out of it and his own stance. Just what was wrong with her? She was acting like she didn't even know who he was. The look that she gave him wasn't one that he didn't quite recognize either. Fingers slightly trembling against his eyes and nose as they tried to get rid of his nervous energy, before finally just throwing them down at his sides ( ... )

“There’s nothing wrong with me.” She let her gaze linger on the man for a moment longer before taking the blanket in her hands and wrapping it around her shoulders, as she usually tended to wear it-more of a base reaction than anything else, cover up and keep warm, survival instincts (she couldn’t remember that she didn’t actually like the cold)-on days when she was herself, but the iciness in her eyes hadn’t lifted at when she turned to look at him again, pupils dully beginning to glow red once more. “I’m just tired of this place.” That was right-it was the reason she was doing this, after all, Abyss was disgusting and she was tired of the people in it, nothing more than that and nothing less, right? Because she didn’t hate them, didn’t like them, couldn’t feel anything towards these people that fled and screamed and died ( ... )
