Ghosts

“Guess you got your answer.” Selene said with a grin. “Not sex addicts and some of the better fucking I’ve had. I think I need a shower more then a work out though.”

[Clint Cross]

"Yeah... " Clint chuckled. "We are kinda ripe now... " he gave her a smirk. "Can always shower together. Save water."

[Liara]

"Hot water does run out kind of quick. I would hate for you to not get any." Selene said. "I especially after I tried to kill you."

[Clint Cross]

"Not that either of us couldn't use a cold shower but warm is better." Clint said as he took her hand. "Can't always promise you that things are going to be easy for us but they're going to be fun."

[Liara]

"My life has never been easy Clint." Selene replied honestly looking into his eyes.

[Clint Cross]

"Yeah I believe that." Clint said as he undid her robe and put his fingers on a couple of her scars. "Still, you don't have to face it alone anymore. Believe me, it takes a minute to get used to having a support system behind you. And actual friends."

[Liara]

“I know.” She said softly as she shivered under his touch. “One day I’ll be able to tell you how I got them.”

[Clint Cross]

"No rush." Clint said with a smile. "Whenever you're ready." he said and lead her into the shower and the turned the water on. "Always considered scars more meaningful tattoos, that's why I never got any, almost got a unit one shortly after I got into Intel, but decided against it at the last minute since I was still healing from infections from these." he pointed to a set of scars on his shoulder. "For all the people that gave me shit about using bows and arrows, this was from a crossbow, arrow had little razor barbs that dug in and my leather vest that I wore sort of caught it and kept digging them in the whole time I limped back to the ExFil spot." he pointed to another scar near his navel. "That was Selene." pointed to a small round one. "That was Mackenzie when I was distracted by the communicator in my pocket."

[Liara]

"The little one?" Selene inquired with a raised eyebrow as she gently touched the scar.

[Clint Cross]

"Selene again. Almost didn't know I was shot there, didn't go all the way through, got stuck in my belt. " Clint said. "I got more than a few from her when Jackson mind controlled her or from when K'n'zy mind controlled me."
