I'm not close I'm not safe

Characters: Kaine and OPEN
Date: December 23rd
Location: Brazen Turtle; Various
Situation: Kaine has an empty nest. Clearly this means there is something wrong with him as a person.
Warnings/Rating: PG-13 to be safe (Kaine has a filthy mouth)


Option A (Kaine):
[Kaine sat at the bar of Brazen Turtle, staring at his beer. He didn't know why he was as bothered by Peter leaving as he was. After all, how many times had he threatened to kick Peter out? He didn't even particularly like the smaller version of Peter Parker. All his presence did was remind him that there were more idealistic idiots out there than even the Peter he was familiar with. The kid was nothing but a nuisance, constantly butting into his business and forcing him to do things he didn't want to do. How could this kid, this boy who didn't know the first thing about him (by design), mean anything to him?

He had spent his entire life alone; he had always preferred that to the company of anyone. There was no one in the world--in the universe, he supposed--that was like him. They all had souls and families and relationships. He was a human shell hiding a monster within a monster. Miles Warren, his father, had put him on his destructive path by creating him, but Kaine was fully aware that he was the instrument of his own destruction. His own actions through the years had insured that he could never join society the way that Ben had tried, no matter what he did in an attempt to atone. Kaine knew this... he embraced it. So why was it bothering him now, all thanks to a kid he didn't particularly like?

Aracely. Peter reminded him of Aracely. That was the only thing he could think of. And he didn't particularly like her either. She was just someone who needed help, and he was the unlucky sap who got saddled with her. If he had left her, she would have just gotten killed... in any of those times he had gone back to save her. She was just a child. She deserved a second chance. Peter deserved a second chance.

Kaine downed the rest of his drink, knowing full well that it will probably come to bite him in his low tolerant ass later.

Option B (Scarlet Spider):
[Kaine needed something to punch. It didn't matter what or who, so long as it had a face that he could connect with his fist. He had no recollection of putting the costume on, or leaving his suite for that matter, only swinging through the air throughout Keeliai, looking for someone relatively out of place. He was a man on a mission, one who wouldn't be satisfied until he was able to take his frustration out on someone who looked like they might deserve it, preferably someone of the criminal persuasion.]

Yeah, I think you should count that with your blessings, there.

Yeah, well, the sooner we get there, the sooner I'll be out of your hair.

[ Nope. ]

No falling asleep in the gutter or something like that. Who knows what'll crawl over you if you do that.

Ew, no. You mean to say things aren't crawling up on you if you do?

[ No, she hasn't slept there. But her stepdad has had stories about people they've hauled out of the wonderful place for rest. ]

And worse what way?

[ Curious girl is curious. ]

[ Cassie opens her mouth to retort along the lines of people don't know what the future will bring, then... deflates, her voice just a little bitter - and not at Kaine. ]

Yeah, I guess I don't have to.

[ Bonuses to not having a future. ]

I dunno. [ She's... subdued, mostly walking, less talking, for the moment. ] I mean, it wouldn't be something I choose, but things've happened, before. If nothing else, we've established that I've been kidnapped before, and where they take me isn't exactly what I choose, you know?

[personal profile] werethatgood 2014-04-29 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
I do now. And that doesn't... doesn't mean bad things can't happen.

[ Because mind control. ]

[ Paaaause. And, then, a helpless giggle. ]

Nope. Not really.

[ It's really a new one. But it's not her fault that things have happened! ]
