King went and wiped away her remaining tears. He was fine with her not talking. He let go of her and reached for her hand and asked her quietly, "Do you want to go to my apartment or your house? It's up to you okay?"

"I would prefer your place. I'm more comfortable there. Ironic I know…" she says running her hand up and down her arm before speaking again "where you going to say to your boss… Or whoever sent you out here?" she looked up at him in concern.

"I'll figure something out," King responded putting his mask back on. He didn't want to get found out, "I always do when I get into these situations. You probably got here on your own right? Think you can drive over to my apartment on your own? I'm sorry, but I don't. I can't risk being seen with you. But I'll drive you if you need me to."

"no, that's fine. I can drive. Ive remembered your address by now" she says with a small weak laugh as she made her way to the motorcycle. Slinging her leg over it, the tight leather over her body was actually really comfortable to her. But she liked tight things. It showed off her curves like none other too.
She looked back at him with a small Smile, turning back to the motorcycle and turning it on. "get on before the sides get too hot"

King smiled at her and went to his own bike. He laughed a little as he got onto his own motorbike. There was a different place he had to park the bike since he never risked it being close to his actual apartment, "I've got my own motorcycle you know. I'll see you at my apartment okay?"

"oh okay" she says with a small laugh of confusion.
Soon she pulled out and was on his way to the apartment in no time. Stopping In the front a little bit before King arrived. What was she even going to say to him?

King rode over to his usual parking spot before he unmasked and made his way to his apartment on foot. He walked up to her with a soft smile unsure as to what to say next other than open the door and invite her in. At least Preston was in tonight otherwise he might have more questions than he would have wanted.

She quietly and awkwardly followed him inside. Unlike any of the times she come into his apartment.
"I'm sorry… I really am. I didn't want to lie to you. And… And I know I already apologized but I just needed to say it again. I didn't mean to hurt you if I did" she looked back to him as her eyes watered more.

King made sure the door was shut and slipped his gloves off revealing his pale white scarred hand. He reached up and wiped away her forming tears, "You're fine Ari. You're perfectly fine. I'm more of a danger to my well being than you are."

She spotted his scarred hands, feeling a bit bad for his burns. Letting his hand wipe away the soft tears, she leaned into his hand a bit.
“Same goes for me” she let out a small nervous laugh, trying a little bit to lighten the mood.

King gave her a smile and a slight laugh. At least it wasn’t as awkward as it could be. His feet and body reminded him if his tiredness and he looked to Aria, “Yeah. Mind if we sit down?”

“Oh, yeah totally! Sorry, i didnt mean to keep you standing. Are you okay?” She asks sitting down (wherever they are?) and looking at him concerningly before she said anything else

(Living room I’d assume. So couch?)

King felt his heart melt just slightly at her concern for him. He held back his yawn as his body thanked him for letting him sit, “I’m fine, just a little tired. Using my powers without a crystal drains a lot of my energy. What about you? Are you okay?” His eyes were filled with concern knowing there was more beneath the surface with her.

(Okay, thats what I thought but i just wanted to make sure lol)

She wanted to make sure he was okay so she wasnt even really worried about herself or thinking the slightest of herself until he asked. Shrinking a little bit but quickly sitting up with her normal confidence she smiled, “oh of course. That man didnt even make a scratch” she says with a smile.

King smiled back at her. He noticed the slight moments but thought nothing of it. He was glad that the dead man hadn’t hurt Aria. Then he might actually have been glad he was dead, “Good.”

She kept the fake smile on her face though it darkened.
"what about you? You said it takes a lot of energy to use your powers without crystals?" she asked scooting over to him and grabbing his hand, looking at it with a little concern. She knew they were healing, but she felt bad. "what about these too? You didn't get hurt did you?"

"It's complicated," King responded after some thought. He had to think of the best way to explain how his abilities work, "If I store element energy in crystals, then yes I can, and most likely will, get hurt when I release it, but it also uses less energy. If I use my abilities without crystals I get drained faster, but I can't hurt myself. But I'm fine Ari. I promise."

"okay" she whispered with a small nod, shuffling over to him and cuddling up to his chest with a heavy sigh. "so what's gonna happen now?"

King wrapped an arm around Aria as she moved closer to him. He shrugged lightly, "I don't know. I, I can't stop doing hero work and I don't now anything about your situation. So, I guess, it's up to Aria."

She pulled away slightly and looked up to him. "stop your hero work? Don't do that simply because of me King" she says her hand on his chest before sliding down to his back, wrapping her arms around him again. "I don't want to make you quit doing what you want to"

"I won't," King responded giving her a smile. He held her close and let out a sigh and repeated, "I won't. But what about you Aria? Why are you a villain?"

She took in a deep breath, hiding her face. She felt as if she were being scolded. "I'm making it easier for so many people. I'm getting rid of the rotten, conceted, lustful and greedy men and some women even, who ruined people's lives. It happened to me and I want to prevent it as much as possible."

King went quiet for a moment. He went down and kissed her forehead before he responded, "Then, Then I don't want you to stop. You have the right reasons and… I don't know. I can't stop trying to stop you."

Tears streaks down her cheeks once again and she clenched his shirt. "why? I'm a….a killer. Why care about me King? I don't get it" she sobbed

"Because I cared about you before I found out," King responded making gentle calming movements by rubbing her back. He, he hated that she was breaking down in front of him. He hated that this had to be a thing, "And I have this stupid thing where once I start caring about someone I keep caring about them no matter what. So, so you're stuck with me."

"you shouldn't King… You shouldn't be with me. I'm a psychopath. A murderer. I've been doing this since I was fucking 9. You shouldn't love a monster like me" she says pulling away and looking go at him, tears staining her face as it was stitched across with pain.

This was one of those moments where King wished he wasn't as sympathetic as he was, and there were a lot of those. Some voice in his head told him he should be mad, the woman he had fallen for was a psychopath and a murder. She had lied to him and more importantly, she had been doing this since she was nine. Nine years old Aria and had been killing men. Yet he couldn't be mad or hurt or anything. Sympathy and apathy sometimes didn't mix all that well together especially when King was as tired as he was. Another thought occurred to him as he looked at her crying. The city and it's hero program had been grooming Kin- Crystalline to be the next big hero with his versatile toolset. How would they take it if they found out he was in love with one of the most dangerous villains? They probably would agree with Aria, but damnit his heart just wouldn't listen. He looked at her lovingly even though a good part of him told him not to, "You're right, I shouldn't. But I fucking do. I fell for the big bad villain that's been killing since the age of 9. And I don't think I can just get rid of those feelings okay?"

How someone could even bring themselves to look at her was a mystery to her. Her sister never even looked her in the eye ever since they were little. Ever since Aria was adopted into the family after her house was burnt down, the mother few days dead and the father stabbed to death.
How this man could look at her in this pitiful horrible state knowing the monster she was and still say he loved her. It was remarkable to say the least. And she loved him. More than anything. And it showed In her eyes before she looked down at her hands pressed into fists against her thighs catching the tears.
"I can't control you. So I'm just going to thank you instead" she says choking back a sob.

King wanted desperately to wrap his arms around her and hold her tight to protect her from whoever hurt her so much that she acted like this. But he didn’t think she would let him and instead he just moved to hold her. Fuck his goddamn heart was just being put through the shedder. The teary eyes and almost sob broke him. He responded to her softly, “You’re welcome then.”
