Veronica did not like confrontation. She could argue and debate with the best of them, but she often bowed out quickly if things threatened to turn physical. Which was unbelievably often when you were dealing non-humans. Which was, also, unbelievably often when you lived in Las Ballenas.
She could manipulate a gravitational force that was strong enough to crush a person with a casual gesture. She could leave them rooted to the floor or dangling in the air, without much of a thought. Once upon a time, she had even done it on command. She didn't need the adrenaline rush of a stupid fight, bringing back bad memories.
She tried not to think about them as she threw her belongings into the open window of her car. Her parents. Super villains, the both of them. Not that it had done them any good in the end. One was dead, and the other was in prison for the rest of her days.
Michael's question pulled her out of her thoughts, and she whipped around to face him. She was visibly surprised. Surprised that he had come to check on her, or that he'd bothered to speak to her at all. She bit her lip instead of responding, eyes shifting from one side to the other.
He hadn't touched her, but that didn't stop her from closing the distance between them. She wrapped her arms around his waist, fingers clinging to the fabric of his shirt as she crushed her face against his chest. She didn't care how he would react, but she hoped that he would give her this. "No one knows you here," she reassured, voice trembling, in an effort to keep him from pulling away. In an effort to keep him from lapsing into a lecture of everything that was wrong with them.
"I'll be fine in a minute." Her fingers curled tighter, as she breathed in the smell of him. As she memorized the feel of him. He smelled really nice, and it wasn't exactly the same as holding someone who was alive, but it's not like he felt... dead, either.
"I like your shirt," she mumbled into his shoulder, trying and failing to be casual about the ordeal.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
