They were both guilty in this. Which really sucked. It would have been better if they could have blamed someone else, like Bast and Neptune, but while the gods had initiated all this, they gave Miri and Reed the freedom of choice, and look what the mortals chose! "I'll talk to him about it. Make him understand that telling will only hurt people."
Reed managed a small smile as well. Was it weird that he kinda liked the idea of her smelling like him? Yes. It was weird. It was wrong too. Reed made a little noise to get Batman to come out. The cat mewed happily and padded across the floor at a fast pace, immediately rushing to Reed's side and rubbing against his leg. Reed picked him up and headed over to the hall closet to get the cat's mesh carrier. He put Batman inside and set him near the door. "Um.. just call or text me if you have any questions about him. I doubt you will.. since, you know.. your store and Bast." He motioned behind him toward his bathroom. "I'm gonna get cleaned up and head back to the hospital." He paused, looking at her for a second longer, then went ahead and walked to the bathroom. Maybe he'd get lucky and drown in the shower!
