"I'm only kidding," he said, planting a kiss on the top of her head. "I'll leave you two to your fun. Try not to break him."

Zeus cracked his knuckles. "I think I'll be the one breaking her," he said with a toothy grin.
Tessa snarled at Zeus. "Oh, it's on."
The two siblings went at it again, this time with fists instead of claws.

He snorted, walking into a bathroom and shutting the door, beginning to unwrap the bandages.

Fifteen minutes later, a slightly banged up Tess was sprawled across the fuzzy rug in the living room, eyes closed.

Runner walked into the living room, his bloodied shirt handing from his left hand. His torso was now covered with scars that looked like they had been there for years despite only healing an hour ago. "Hey, we're matching."

She cracked open an eye. "In order to match, you'll need a giant scar running down the middle of your torso from just below the collarbones to right above you-know-where that has been opened, closed, and reopened again multiple times." She closed her eye again.

"Close enough." He laid down next to her. "Did he already make his leave?"

"Nah. Zeus is staying here until War Games are over. He was going to come anyway, but not this early."

"Are you really that embarrassed of me that you don't want to tell your brother we're dating?"

She blindly reached for his hand. "No, never, but Zeus likes picking on me. Enjoys it immensely. He'd never leave me alone about being in a serious relationship. He already knows, just wants me to admit it."

"I kinda want to train with him. Just to see where I'm at."

"He'd crush you. Have you seen him?"

He shrugged. "I still haven't figured out to half-morph yet. Maybe that could trigger it or something."

"Hmm. Maybe. We've been able to do it since… forever. Just a natural instinct." She fell silent. "I've always wondered why a guy so jacked is going to medical school," she mused to herself.

"For situations like the one yesterday."

She laughed. "True. His father is a doctor, so that might've been a factor as well."

"That water was fucking hot."

She sighed. "I said it was going to be hot. Normally Frosty can cool it down enough for us to use it, or we have extra sitting around. I didn't. I did my best considering the situation." She turned on her side, facing him and finally opening her eyes. "But did you die?"

"No, thanks to the sacrifice of those brave vases."

She couldn't hold back her smile. "I throw things when upset. Big deal. Cinthia chucks daggers at my face when I'm annoying her."

"See, but you'd live. What if the vases had a family, huh?"

She fell into a fit of laughter. "They sacrificed their lives for the sake of the greater good. Their family would be proud."

"Proud does't pay the bills."

"No, I pay the bills." She couldn't stop her laughter. I love this idiot way too much. It's not good for my health.

He smiled. "Your laugh is wonderful."

She grinned. "Then it's a good thing you have a ridiculous sense of humor."

"Oh, it's ridiculous?"

She leaned closer, smiling. "A good ridiculous."

"I don't think it's ridiculous either way," he said, kissing her on the forehead.

"Hmm. Well I do." She grinned. "You wanna go shopping now or later? I need a new couch."
