.:Ever since her loss at Game Over, Destiny hasn't been around Cross really. He didn't particularly seem his normal self the last time they spoke, so Destiny just assumed he needed some space... she couldn't have been too wrong with her assumption... could she have? Well, either way, here she stood, her hand on the doorknob to their apartment together that she had only occupied a few times during the past few weeks. But lets figure out what she exactly doing during that time apart from her beloved, shall we?:.
~.:The days of hers had been mostly spent talking to her sister and catching up for times missed due to Debra flipping out on Destiny causing her to move out. Destiny refused to call her Mom anymore after the way she reacted to the news of hearing Destiny was even IN a strip club.
The hours upon hours talking and having fun with Desiree had been amazing for Destiny. She had almost forgotten what it was like to just 'hang out'. Being as she wasn't exactly the nicest woman on the roster, plus the fact that nobody ever really decided to get close to her. They always judged her by the way she acted and what she wore... they just assumed, much like Debra had... that she was a 'Whore', 'Slut' and other miscellaneous words meaning the same thing.
So this time with Desiree really was almost like a reminder of what it was like...
After she had spent a few weeks with Desiree, Destiny decided it was time to go visit her other sibling.
Now Derek, was oh what would some people call him. As Straight as a circle? To put it blatantly for some of you who did not fully grasp the fact of that statement... He's Queer and He's proud of it. Mkay? Moving on...
Destiny basically considers him her second sister. But she had to travel down the Miami where he was currently working. See... it seems Good Lucks was hereditary since he was currently working as a Male Model for a fashion Catalog. Not the most luxurious or cushiest job granted, but he seemed happy doing it.
It was most certainly a very pleasant surprise for him giving that he squealed like a school girl and started jumping up and down when he saw his 'Big Sis'. The two did the same things her and Desiree had done the week before. Just talked and had fun in general.:.~
.:It had pained Destiny to leave her siblings... but they would always be able to see her since she promised to visit more often then every few years  .
But Now? Destiny was more focused on the most important person in her life... the man who was behind this door. She took a deep breath as she finally turned the knob and walked in, almost immediately calling in.:.
"I'm Back!" |

His vision slowly arose from it's down casted position...He had been sitting in the precise same spot for what seemed like hours. His hands placed firmly upon his forehead while staring down towards the carpet beneath his feet. The events of the past few weeks had been tumultuous to say the least. Overbearing...The epitome of trying and nerve wrecking. Destiny had been free from all of the surrounding madness of the time period in question, seemingly off on vacation visiting with family members. A vacation in which His Majesty himself was scheduled to accompany her on but...Well...Incidents prior to the pre-determined date had seen to him not being able to do much else...Besides think...
His eyes met hers, as a forced smile found it's way onto his face before he slowly stood from the couch he sat almost motionless upon. A deep sigh of relief escaped his lips before he spoke to the returning beauty...
Welcome home my dear. I was beginning to worry you wouldn't make it back...In one piece...
His eyes show more to the words he had spoken seconds ago. Perhaps he was worried that even she would soon become a "target" of the sick and twisted war that had waged on for the better part of the past month. Hell with the events of only the past few days he wasn't exactly sure she was actually standing before him as he slowly began his way towards the very spot where she stood, that trademark smile gracing her face as he approached.

.:Setting her bag with her clothes in it on the floor near the door, she shuts and locks the door behind her. Walking over to where V stood... trying to meet him 'half way' so to speak . She had a sort of confused look on her face. He couldn't have possibly said what she had thought she heard him say.. could he have?:.
"Whats that supposed to mean Cross?"
.:They stood in front of each other now, a still almost look of confusion on her face. She still had no idea what that meant...:.
"What would make you think I would come back in one piece?" |

His steps halted, a look of shock coming over his face. She really didn't know...Nodding his head, no words escaping his lips he turned back, making his way towards his previous place of seating. Once there he retrieved the newspaper he had stared at aimlessly for hours on end. It detailed particular parts of the events that had unfolded through the weeks prior to this very moment. Turning back towards the doorway and beginning his trek once again he extended his arm in her direction, giving her all of the information she needed to realize just what he was speaking of...

.:Carefully and slowly, almost afraid of what the article in the paper may hold, she takes the newspaper from Cross and starts to read. She started to read about all the current happenings that have been going on whilst she was out having fun with her siblings. It didn't quite register with her at first. Her mind wasn't grasping it right away... thats when she got to it... she started to read about what Cross had said that.
It had seemed that some one... or some ones were taking 'care of' the Familia or any one associated with them.... 'picking them off' One by one... this... just couldn't be happening. Her mouth slowly hung agape as she read on... about the countless attacks. Finishing off the article, she looks back up towards Cross... a look of almost sheer horror in her face as she tried to speak...:.
"I... Had... no idea..." |

Hmmpf...Consider yourself fortunate...
His frame slowly found it's way back to the couch he had occupied prior to her return. The look in his facial expression was clearly speaking volumes surrounding his state of mind. He was for the first time in his young life...Lost...Unable to decipher the happenings as of late. Or was he?
So...You can see that my days have been quite eventful...Oh...And yours?

"Oh? Well... I had fun... It had been awhile since I've seen Derek or Desiree for long enough to actually talk to them... kind of like...years upon years... so... yeah..."
.:Kind of awkward really. Whilst she was out having fun and busy remembering old times with Des and Derek... Cross was dealing with all of this. A part of her was glad she was away for most of this, but another part was upset with herself for not being with Cross during this. Walking over to the couch she sits down next to him... not entirely sure what else to say or if she should say anything.. |

To say that His Majesty wasn't in the mood for conversation would have been quite the understatement. Though surely he was happy that the young beauty was still in "one piece", his mind continued to focus on the task at hand. Discovering just who was being so adamant about destroying the Familia one piece at a time. He also knew that, the task was something that could bring unimaginable danger to whomever was considered a "free range" target. Destiny fit that category. As did his remaining Familia brethren. Remaining motionless on the couch, his head tilted slightly towards the ceiling, he spoke in a low audible tone, knowing that this would be only the first of such conversations in the coming days...
Destiny...I think it would be best if...You left...Toronto...As soon as possible.

"But... I want to stay with you Cross..."
.:This was true. She knew it would indeed be better for her to leave, but she didn't want to. She wanted to stay with her man... She had already been away from him from along time.:. |

Cute. Noble as well yet...She apparently fails to see the severity of the entire ordeal unfolding before them.
I'm not asking you what you want. I'm telling you what you need. It's not a open forum for discussion. If you think of the magnitude of the events past and present surrounding this ordeal, you'd understand the choice to stay would most likely become...Dangerous. Not only for yourself. But for each and every individual involved directly or indirectly. So...I'll state this once more. You're leaving. As well as...A few more people once I speak with them.
Standing from his place of seating, his steps begin to carry him towards the bar located on the opposite side of the room. A deep sigh escaping his lips before offering what would hopefully be the final piece of dialog concerning this discussion...
I'd suggest making preparations...As soon as possible. You'd be wise to heed those words.

"Fine..."
.:She sat there. She was almost depressed already. Not just the fact he wanted her to go away... just that the Familia are getting attacked... that was too much for her... Him wanting her to go was sort of sweet. Thats when it hit her...:.
"But... what will you do?" |

A slight chuckle escaping his lips, his hand held firmly onto the bottle in his hand. Glaring down into it almost, his opposite hand brought the glass in his grasps closer to it with a slow motion as he began pouring slowly as he responded...
Whatever I have to do...Whatever I have to. It's for the best I believe...
Seconds later the glass was filled close to halfway, already slowly making it's way towards his awaiting lips. He knew that perhaps this was a bit more for Destiny to grasp. The war, if you could call it that at this point, had gotten out of hand with the events of the past few weeks. It had began to begin resembling more of a slaughter than a war in fact. This was truly for her own good, as well as the others whom he knew would be leaving as well.

.:Whatever he had to... that didn't sound good to Destiny. She knew he would do whatever he had to do to help his brethren, but it still just didn't sound right the way he said it, almost like he knew something would happen...
Standing up, she thought about walking over to him and hugging him. But... that probably wouldn't be the best thing in the world to do at a moment like this being that he wasn't one to particularly want to show his feelings. So, instead of doing that she just stood there... nothing to really do or say... except for really...:.
"Cross... I.... love you..." |

A trace of a smile could be seen forming on his face as his ears caught wind of her words, slowly turning to face her once again when suddenly his words were cut off. The unmistakable sound of shattering glass radiating through the room, just as instantly and instinctively he allows for his body to become one with the floor beneath.
No less than a few seconds later the sound of more glass shattering around them could be heard, partially covering himself as best he could his glance immediately darted towards the spot where Destiny was standing no more than a few seconds before.
Once his vision fell upon her he quickly noticed she too had found her way to the floor, as he quickly began a crawling motion in her direction, his arm extending towards her as he screamed out to her, just as her head seemed to be raising from it's down casted position...Destiny NO!!!!...
His body met hers with a moderate impact, the sounds of the shattering glass all around now apparent and evident to him as he realized it was indeed gunfire as suspected. He continued to cover her person as best he could as they seemed to continue to destroy the window a few dozen feet away even more so as every second passed. Screams could be heard from outside of the suite as Cross quickly made the conscious decision to attempt an escape from the gunfire being sent towards the two of them. Instantly lifting himself from the floor halfway, and taking Destiny up into her arms as best he could, his steps proceeded towards the door with as much speed as the weight of them both could garner. Once again a single shot was sent through the window towards them, crashing through the door as pieces of it could clearly be seen airborne, further surrounding them in the debris that had already been caused once the attack had ensued. Within seconds the door was flung open, the screams from the crew members located in the corridor only increasing as the two found themselves crashing to the floor below with a loud thud, as several shots made their way through the room at great velocity and crashed into the adjacent wall a few feet from where the two had landed.
Almost by instinct his motions continued, moving them both out of the line of fire as her body seemed to be almost limp in movement, crashing once again behind the cover of the wall nearest to them, his breathing patterns erratic at this point as the workers in the corridor began scattering instantly, as shot after shot continued to come. Finding himself in a seated position, his back against the wall of cover with Destiny's body partially laid across his, he could feel the faintest trace of a liquid along his abdomen and his left arm. His eyes quickly dart towards her as he realizes just what had transpired. His mouth instantly hangs agape as he struggles to find words for what he had laid eyes upon...
TO BE CONTINUED...
