The Devil tackled the Sentinel, knocking him to the ground... through a building, that crumbled to the ground. The two figures- one robot, one psionic construct -slid along the ground, knocking into more buildings....
"Non!" Marie screamed, sitting upright in her bed and breathing heavily. She was still having nightmares about that fight, even now, this long after the battle. It wasn't supposed to happen like that, the Devil wasn't that strong that it would have crashed into all those buildings... killing God only knows how many people? And it was all her fault.
And it wasn't like she could really talk to Jubes about it like she normally would- her best friend didn't fight, instead she elected to stay behind and help in the infirmary.
She slid out of bed, grabbing her phone and sending a quick text to Adam. She wanted to see him, so she let him know to deactivate the security system so she could come and not get killed.
A short flight on the Devil later- Marie hated the card now, but had no choice but to use it (it was the most convenient form of transportation she had after all)- she was in the yard of the mansion. She stood on the Devil's hand as she held it out to the window that she knew would lead to Adam's room, and knocked lightly.

Adam had been on his laptop reading his favourite webcomics and watching a series of funny reviews for videogames when he got the text message. It was a total *le sigh* that he had to get out of bed and put on pants, but when you had to sneak around the mansion to turn off a security system....pants were important. If you got caught...with no pants...that was embarrassing.
Either way, he got it done before jumping back into bed, it was freaking freezing in that mansion. Think Charlie would spring for heating to pop on for an hour or four during the night, keep the place warm.
Eventually Marie arrived, evident with the knocking on the window. Young Adam was quick to open it and usher her in, wanting to keep the cold out as much as give her a big cuddle. "Hey...what's up?"

Marie easily climbed in through the window, then turned around, waving her hand at the Devil. Her eyes flashed white as the psionic construct disappeared, then she turned around to face Adam.
She quickly slid out of the heavy winter jacket that she had thrown over her pajamas, then wrapped her arms around Adam, hugging him tightly.
"I couldn't sleep." she admitted, then tilted her head up and kissed him.

"I guessed." he smiled, wrapping his arms around her with a giant smile, returning the nice hug and giving an even larger smile when he got the kiss. "Oh you're freezing." he informed, she having just been flying through the cold night air, and he wearing just his underwear and a wife-beater he wore to bed. Yes it put a shiver down his spine indeed. But by rubbing his arms up and down hers, to warm her up, he could score major brownie points.

"Oui, it's a bit cold out." Marie responded with a nod, then snuggled closer to Adam to warm up. She grinned up at him as he rubbed her arms, then slid her hands up his chest and over his shoulders.
"I missed you." she continued, then kissed him again.

Oh someone was frisky tonight, in her nighties....albeit frisky in her nighties while being freezing cold. But that would fade. She'd warm up. "I missed you too Pookie." he replied, before gently moving her back into his chest, so he could put his arms around her, much more comfortable like. "So why couldn't you sleep?" he asked, even though he already knew the answer.
She wanted some Adam.

"Nightmares." Marie answered quietly, resting her head against his chest. "About that fight. Something bad happened... and it was all my fault. It wasn't supposed to happen that way..." She shivered, thinking back once again to the crashing Sentinel and Devil.
She frowned, closing her eyes. It really wasn't supposed to happen like that at all. She should have seen something like that happen, and have been able to prevent it...

"You wanna tell me about it?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her from behind as she laid her, planting a little kiss on the top of her head. She was still a bit cold, so Adam tried to subtly let out gently glow of his cosmic energy, it left smouldering ruins when he did big explosions, smouldering ruins meant heat, so a little warm glow shouldn't have been difficult.
Put a nice glow out too. Made the room all funny.

"There were Sentinels, you know. And the Devil was the only thing big enough to go up against them." Marie began quietly, closing her eyes. Hopefully... he wouldn't hate her when he found out what she did.
"And so I had the Devil go after one. He tackled it, but they fell to the ground and- and they crashed, and knocked over all kinds of buildings and who knows how many people were in there who died."
She bit her lip and took a deep breath. "And it was all my fault!"

"Hey, I'm sure nobody died, they were evacuating everyone in like...ten blocks when the Sentinels came down, the only people that died who the ones the Brotherhood killed before they had a chance to escape, and the ones they shot in the back as they tried escaping." it was the best he could offer, he was sure she didn't kill anyone, his little Marie couldn't be responsible for that. They were the heroes, they didn't do that stuff.
"You can't blame yourself, that's what the Brotherhood want, us caving in on ourselves, giving in to pressure, cause as soon as we do that, people will start running to them for help and stuff. We saved the day, those people wouldn't have stood a chance without us!" he gave her an extra supportive cuddle, and another kiss on the head. Her hair smelled nice.

Marie looked up at Adam, grinning slightly.
"Thanks." she said, nodding once. He was right, she shouldn't blame herself. And that was probably why her cards didn't warn her about all those people dying- they all had already been evacuated... and so there was no one there to die.
She kissed him once more, then smiled. "I love you, you know." she said, then snuggled against him once more.

"You're welcome." he replied, with a big smile. He had made her feel better, he was the best boyfriend ever. And when she said the L word, he got that proud feeling in his chest, the one that made him feel like a giant! The biggest giant in the world! "I know, I love you too." he replied with a smile, before leaning to kiss Marie, his lips reaching hers....he was pretty sure he was going to go for tongue!

Marie grinned up at Adam. She really was lucky to have him, after all. Not everyone was that lucky, and she was glad that she was.
"I know." she replied, then smirked a bit. As he leaned down to kiss her again, she nipped at his bottom lip before darting her tounge inside his mouth.

Ooh Adam was getting some French kissing....from a French girl! They were probably the best at it, cause they invented it or something. Adam held the kiss for a moment, just enjoying it, the feel of his tongue dancing against hers, his hands gently running up and down the soft skin of her arms, which was now much warmer. After a moment, he decided to take a risk. His hands came up, and very slowly, and gently, he tried to guide the straps of her cami down over her shoulders. His hands proceeded to slide over the top of her chest, before moving downwards, gently pushing the material so Adam could run his hands over her chest.

Marie paused as she felt him slide the straps of her cami down. She pulled back for a moment and then nodded once, trailing her fingers down his chest before sliding them up under his shirt. She leaned forward again, kissing along his neck lightly before moving back to his mouth and kissing him once more.
