She had been doing shadowing for so long that she had just accepted it for what it was. Certainly it was a job but...was it something she enjoyed... What did she enjoy doing... Aside from being with Jack Vicki really hadn't given much thought about what she liked to do. This realization was...unsettling...and Vicki didn't know how to respond for a moment. Shaking her head slightly, Vicki opened her eyes,"No...I'm just being realistic...."she replied quietly before sighing,"My work is interesting...."she continued before falling silent, not quite sure what to say next.[/scrolly] |

Indi put his hands on his hips and looked surprisingly cross for a moment. Luana blinked and sighed before looking away and twirling her hair a bit. She knew how passionate he was about such things, and it was one of the few reasons she let him do what he did. "That's not a good answer," he replied back. "Does it give you a reason to get up in the morning? Do you relish what you do? Do you think that you're making a difference to someone or some thing?" the redhead asked critically. Jack could feel chills running up and down his spine. He wasn't even quite sure why, but something in him suddenly desperately wanted to run, and he had no idea why.

Closing her eyes, Vicki didn't have the strength to so much as look at the man...his words...struck a chord within her, and it frightened her. Truth was, Vicki really didn't know what she enjoyed...the lab was all she had known all her life and had come to accept it as all there would ever be. But...that was before Jack had come into her life... "What does that mean...to enjoy something..." |
[/size]Vicki whispered, her voice shaking slightly as she spoke, "The lab...it's all I've known for years...I...accepted that was all there was..."she continued in a slightly louder voice before taking a deep breath.

Indiana relaxed a little upon finding Vengeance's negative reaction. Muttering something under his breath, he folded his arms and sighed. "Indi, that was too much," Luana sighed quietly to herself though she was aware of the fact that he had intended for it to be much. His tone was obvious, and his intentions were not completely heartless, but she knew how well hi words could rack other people. ".......Anyways...... is there any way out of here?" the brunette asked changing the subject for the moment.
Jack hesitated a little but wrapped his arms tighter around Victoria wishing that Indi hadn't brought up so many questions that were upsetting his Victoria.... However, for whatever reason, he couldn't give the sharp rebuke that he wanted to. He wanted to defend her, but from her reactions, it seemed that she was questioning herself as well. "Hey...hey ....for me ok?" he whispered quietly after a moment.

She wished that she could just disappear but knowing that Jack was there helped.... What Indi had brought up had shaken her considerably and she couldn't get it out of her mind. What Luana said didn't even register neither did the fact that she was crying until Jack whispered in her ear. Live...for him...somehow the words felt right... Jack had become her...her...light...she felt...happy when she was with him. "I-...." |
[/size]Vicki began before her voice broke, threatening to choke her words off completely, "...yes...for you..."[/size]she managed before falling silent and taking comfort in the warmth of Jack's embrace.[/scrolly][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

At being ignored, Luana blushed as much from embarrassment as irritation. A quiet 'hmph' sound escaped from the brown haired woman, and she crossed her arms in front of her and exhaled sharply again. Indi, meanwhile, shut both eyes and looked thoughtful for a moment. "I... have a headache," he said flatly. Luana blinked startled. The last time Indi had ever complained about a headache was....
"We should get out of here," she suggested. Indi slowly looked back towards Jack and Vengeance before then looking towards Luana.
"Yeah..." he replied before reaching out a hand and snagging Luana by the shoulder before sliding his hand down to her wrist and then sliding fingers into her hand. "I think civilization is that way," he said suddenly pointing in a random direction. Luana sighed and rolled her eyes finding that all she could really do was half smile when it came down to it.
"Look, we're going to keep moving. You're welcome to come but yeah," Luana stated before setting her hands on her hips.
Jack, meanwhile, was quiet at Victoria's motions, thankful that she was alright for the moment at the very least. At the words from the other two, he looked up and blinked. "Er... I think we'll find our own way too..." he said slowly faltering word wise. Luana simply gave a prompt nod before seizing Indi by the ear and pulling him off.
"Ok then..." was the reply that was given. Indi howled a little with pain but quickly silenced himself. Smacking him briefly, Luana stopped only to look back at Vengeance. "Hey don't take Indi too seriously. He's an Indiot," she said flatly before starting to drag him again much to the pain and residual protest of one Indiana Indigo.

Having calmed down at least enough to push back the upsetting thoughts that Indi had brought to mind, Vicki sighed quietly as she listened to the conversation. At the sound of Indi's sudden howl, Vicki tensed and opened her eyes before finally looking up to see Luana had Indi by the ear. Blinking at the motion, Vicki stared for a moment before Luana's words registered and attempted to smile,"OK...."she replied quietly before Luana started to drag a protesting Indi away.
Once they were gone, Vicki lay her head against Jack again reluctant to get up to say the least. She wasn't quite sure why Indi had said what he had...but she still couldn't seem to shake the uneasiness that the words had brought her. "Why...why did you choose me..." |
[/size]Vicki whispered, finally voicing the thought that had been plaguing her, "I...I'm broken...and I-..."[/size]she continued in a faltering voice as tears drifted down her cheeks.[/scrolly][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

However, rather than strike skin to skin, he'd managed to flick his arm around and smack it into a tree instead. "Stop that," he growled suddenly. "Stop making me sound like a fool for making a decision. It's annoying," he frowned suddenly very irritated. "So what if you didn't have an exact answer? So what if you don't know something. Even if you're broken, I'll help fix you but only if you want that. Don't keep trying to push me away!" Jack didn't even realize where this sudden emotion came from, but he didn't care. He'd already said what had started to work up in him ever since she'd started to question him over it. Why had he chosen her? Simple, it was because she was perfect to him. Even in all of her flaws she was who she was, and she was willing to tolerate him. She was more than great to him, and he was sick and tired of making it seem as though she wasn't. He didn't even realize how much it bothered him until she'd started making that residual problem appear in front of other people....

When he spoke it felt like he had slapped her for all the amount that the words stung. No...he wasn't a fool...and the thought that she had made Jack feel like that made Vicki feel miserable. Looking up at Jack as he spoke, Vicki swallowed the knot that had formed in her throat. Even with all her flaws Jack still wanted her here...it seemed to good to be true but... "I-...I'm sorry..."Vicki whispered before taking a deep breath,"I don't want you to go..."she continued before falling silent. Vicki honestly didn't know what she would do if Jack left...the simple thought that he would frightened her to no end.[/scrolly] |

"Ok then," he sighed deeper still as his face relaxed more. "Then... just ...stop talking like that.." he sighed. "...C'mon... let's... go ..." Jack mumbled slowly shifting about to finally stand up again. Something still didn't sit right in his stomach, but it was all he could do not to bring it up again.

He remained holding on to her even as he stood. Breathing in quietly, Jack frowned setting is head on Victoria's shoulder. "I'm cold though..." he complained quietly. Indeed, it was cold outside, and he was now wondering how she could stand it. "Unless you have a way of warming me up..." he teased weakly after that. Third face/palmed in the back of Jack's head, but the purple haired man continued to smile for a few seconds before allowing it to fade off of his face.

Sighing quietly as he spoke, Vicki only just then realized how cold she was...in fact her hands had almost lost all feeling in them now that she thought about it. Vicki didn't know why she hadn't realized how cold she was before or that the fog that had obscurred their flight before had started to surround them, giving the woods an almost eerie feel to it. A lot had been going on before though so she supposed that had something to do with not noticing it before Jack had said something about it. Jack's arms around her had been enough to keep her warm for the most part which is probably why she hadn't complained before. Giving a sort of half-laugh, Vicki smiled slightly,"I can barely feel my hands..."she whispered before listening to Jack's next words. Laughing softly, Vicki turned her head and kissed his neck before smiling,"How's this..."she breathed before kissing his cheek and then again on the lips, leaning into him ever so slightly as she did so.[/scrolly] |

A smirk placed itself on his features briefly before melting into a smile. Ah, she didn't know how much it ached him sometimes, though. With each passing second, more thoughts slipped in him, and he found himself having to fight to keep them in line. Kissing back before kissing her on the cheek, he stopped a moment only to turn his head a little and kiss her on the nose.

He didn't know how... to fix her...
He found it hard to think that she was broken at all.
When this thought came about, Jack mentally cringed. Well... there was one starting place that redhead guy had brought up... "It's alright." he whispered quietly back to her, holding her closer still. "We'll figure it out, ok?" he hummed. "....We could start by finding ya something ya actually like..." his voice was a bit teasing but honest. This will be interesting... Third commented dryly.

"Heh.. .maybe we should... try and find a way out of here then..." he mumbled a little slowly starting to let go of her again. Looking up towards the white clouds above, Jack squinted through them trying to discern anything above. However, there was nothing that really caught his eye. Just where was this place anyways?

She could release Edana in the meantime...the fire type would certainly help warm them up in the meantime... "I can call out my Torchic at least...she'd help warm us up...unless you have another idea,"Vicki suggested with a shrug before waiting to see what Jack had to say.[/scrolly] |
