Who: Gwen Raiden and Lindsey McDonald
What: She's been far too good lately, time to be a little bit bad!
When: Midnight
Where: The penthouse suite
Rating: TBD
Status: In Progress

It had been far too long since Gwen Raiden did a bit of honest stealing. Lately she had been verging on being a good girl, what with quitting the coke, spending her time helping get the security system at the apartments good enough to keep even her out and even getting involved in a doom filled good vs evil battle to capture one of the flying tin can aliens.

It was bordering on virtuous. And that had to change.

Finding her target had been a happy coincidence. She'd been sitting in a bar a few nights ago when a clearly overly wealthy jerk in a suit started groping some waitress, ignoring her steadily increasing protests. Finally, the bastard had laughed as she'd fled in tears. Men like that thought they could have anything. Gwen intended on taking it all away.

Just because her target was an asshole, didn't take away from the illegality of it. It would still be enough to let her feel deliciously bad, if only for a while.

She'd spent the last couple of days following him, seeing where he was staying. He did have rather a lot of wealth, including a rather beautiful piece of artwork, a bronze and marble sculpture that Gwen decided would look so much better on her own mantelpiece.

The night served to help hide her, her black clothes helping her blend into the shadows. Her hair was tied back and everything about her demeanor was all business as she gathered her gear together to set about relieving Mr Asshole of his possessions.

He'd gotten her off, he thought, still stroking himself enough that he wasn't so dammed desperate. He still wanted to touch her, still wanted to be inside her.

He helped her through it, free hand at her waist, guiding her through. Until finally the pleasure subsided and Lindsey realised just how they'd spent the last while. He met her gaze, not ashamed by any means.

"...So, new even for us?" he tried tying up his pants again and pulling her back into his arms being mindful of her killer skin.

"You okay with...all that"

Gwen was shaking slightly as she gradually regained her breath, her body still needing his for support. Without him there, she suspected she would be little more than a boneless heap.

It took her a moment to make her brain function again and it suddenly hit her what she had just done, and more specifically who she had just done it with.

"We.... I mean you.... me.... us and," she waved her hand slightly. "That was different." Yeah, definitely different.

She lay back in his arms, feeling intensely comfortable there and really not in any hurry to move any time soon.

"I'm okay, I'm more than okay," she glanced up at him with a faint frown. "Are you okay?" She was very aware of quite how one sided it all had been and she wished there was something more she could do. She was very open to suggestions if he had any ideas.

He was still working it out in his head, still trying to work out at what point it had gone from a bit of play to something more, he supposed it was when he'd stopped at her stomach. That might have been when the decision was made. And the experiance had left them both lost for words. Well no, he'd go with flustered, he was never lost for words.

"It was different. Mostly in that we both seem very okay with it."

He ran his hand up and down her arm for a little while, still trying to come to tems with what they'd just done together. She had been so wanting, and he'd been only to happy to see her fulfilled. And she'd been willing, eagar to follow every order he'd given her. Every single one. He'd enjoyed helping her out but what did that mean, they could never really be together because of her power. They could never kiss.

Not really.

Raiden. Him and Raiden. Raiden and...

He tilted her head and kissed her, just for half a second, just contact and jumped back, shocked. But convinced of one thing. Raiden had called them 'Us and It made sense.

"Us huh?. ...How does that sound?"

She was okay with it, extremely so. There was no one else she felt so comfortable with, so able to be herself.

Until there was a sharp reminder of who herself really was when he kissed her. It was brief, fleeting even, and she still sparked, shocking him slightly. Gwen tensed, feeling much more awake now.

"Are you insane, I could have killed you," she frowned, her fingers, gloved as always, reaching up to brush over his lips where the shock had been.

"Us sounds...." she trailed off, looking torn. 'Us' sounded right, it sounded like everything she could want. Lindsey understood her, understood her need for control in her life, to drop the brash act and submit sometimes.

But then there was still the other thing. "Us sounds like I could accidentally kill you."

Was he insane?. Really depended on who you asked.

"I know, but I didn't hold it long enough, did I"

Raiden brushed her gloved fingers at his lips and he wondered what the hell had taken him this long. The answer was sort of obvious. Darla. Eve.

Dammit all, Eve.

"Us sounds like I know that, sounds like I don't think I care. Sounds like you and me were always close, we joked how many times about 'if we could'. What if I don't need to think about the 'if'. Raiden...what're you worried about. I know you. I know you could kill me. I also know you'll never not be careful. Tell me you don't want this."

Sometimes he really was infuriating. It was one of the things she liked most about him a lot of the time, but really right then she wanted to slap him.

Or maybe kiss him. Or, okay, definitely kiss him and maybe slap him.

It was all very confusing.

"I want this," she admitted. Wanted them. It had been way too long, years of jokes and playing around, leading to what she now realized was a hell of a lot of sexual tension. "You drive me insane, you know that?" She half laughed, burying her face against his shoulder.

"You really don't need to think about the if?" Her voice sounded skeptical. "This could be all we can do, and you're a guy."

He laughed, yes he was a guy. He wouldn't deny that, but he'd been thinking, in the short amount of time he could think since what they'd done. And he wanted this.

"My steller record with women, a Vampire, The Child of the Senior Partners. I've been doing something wrong obviously. You...we...deserve a chance same as anyone. And we're here, in a world without the Firm, the Powers, idiot sanctimonious know it all vampires. But I think you and me could be good Raiden, you're already one of my best friends, lets just try, see where we go. What'dya say"

They could be good, they could be very very good. The rest he could deal with, somehow. She deserved something better in her life and he was going to try and give it to her.

The git actually laughed, making Gwen pout and poke him in the shoulder, almost indignantly. It was a real issue, the fact she wouldn't be able to give him what another girl could. What Eve had done.

"Well I could have told you that," she pointed out. "I was there for the whole Darla thing remember?" And how much of a mess that had been. And Lindsey beaten to a pulp by Angel. "And Eve's an idiot." So it was possibly catty and act like that, but she couldn't help it.

"There is still Spike here," she added, possibly stalling slightly before she got to the main point, shifting around until she was sitting across his lap, just as she'd been when they'd started down this road. "You and me could be amazing and you know it. You've always known it."

There had to be some way she could touch him, to feel the heat of his skin against her own. She needed to be able to really kiss him, not just the fleeting moments they could snatch now.

Eve. Who he had cared about. But she wasn't Raiden, Raiden who had fallen into the catgory of a girl he couldn't have. Not ever. And now it seemed he could and it confused him. But Raiden had a point, she was there, she'd always been there for him and he was starting to realize that was enough for her.

And she was sitting on his lap again. Damn it all.

"We could be amazing, how could we not be. You're you?"

He pulled her back into his arms and was happy with his decision, he wanted to make Gwen Raiden happy whatever it took.

"You and me against the world babe?"

She didn't resist when he pulled her into his arms, sliding gloved hands around the back of his neck as she pressed herself more closely to him, the soft leather keeping her skin away.

"We've always been you and me against the world," she pointed out with a half smile. "Since the day we met and I gave you a lap dance for a hundred bucks and a business card." Seemed like a lifetime ago. Literally another world. Since then they'd stuck through Darla and the Firm, Lindsey leaving, Eve, hell and now this place. In all its weirdness.

"Maybe this place would have some more answers," she shrugged. "Some way of turning me, well, off." At that point she was willing to do anything to gain control, to be able to touch him.

Lindsey remembered that night, the dance she'd given him, he'd known what she was but known too upon seeing her that if he could have he would have slept with her that night. They'd never have been the same as they were now. They'd never have been as close as he felt they were now.

"I remember that lap dance, like it was yesterday. You were amazing babe, but I think the fact nothing could happen made us stronger."

He paused,

"You felt like this, and you were there through Darla, you knew I was with Eve. Didn't you ever think of saying it to me?"

Some way of turning her off. He'd find something, do whatever it took. besides the obvious, they'd keep their souls their own thanks.

Gwen smirked slightly, thinking back on that night. Lindsey had stood out among the crowd of losers in that bar, not just because of the money he had flashed around, but the air of confidence that had instantly attracted her.

"You would have gotten bored of me if you'd had me back then," her smirk widened. "No challenge in it for you. You'd have probably just moved on pretty quickly." Like Gunn did. He never did call her after that night. She'd brushed it off, pretended it hadn't hurt, but she couldn't deny it had stung.

Had she felt like this? Lindsey's question made her pause before she realized, yeah, she had. She'd always wanted him, just always figured it could never happen. Had watched him get hurt by Darla and was waiting for the same to happen with Eve. "What could I have said?" she asked softly. "Don't be with them, be with the untouchable freak? I couldn't have asked that."

He couldn't deny it, it was possible he would have gotten bored, he wouldn't have gotten to know her as well as he did, she would have been a pretty girl in a line of pretty girls and that would have been it.

"So I'm all about the challenge am I?."

She had a point, what could she have said to him, while he was obsessing over Darla and while Eve had been by his side against Angel, what could she have said, or how would he have known how she felt about him.

"Lets just make the most of what we have, how about it?" he asked, it was the best they could do with where they'd come from.

She looked up at him, smirking faintly, knowing exactly what Lindsey was like. Hell, she'd watched him with enough pretty girls over the years, even aside from Darla and Eve.

"You know you're all about the challenge, you've got the attention span of a child when it comes to women," she arched her eyebrow. "I mean come on, how many times did I have to get rid of dumb blondes for you?"

The past was behind them and if nothing else Gwen could be really grateful for the fact that neither Darla nor Eve were even in this world. "So you and me in a crazy new world, with demons trying to kill us all, huh?"

He wasn't sure that was true, attention span of a child. He just...never settled, not even with the two he'd cared about most. Eve had been danger and plans and Darla had been.

Well, Darla.

"My attentions all on you now Raiden. So prepare to actually be suprised at my ability to focus. I've always been able to focus on you when you needed me right. Or at least mostly. And this world ain't gonna be any different. You and me in a few days, we're going on a date. A real date, and it might fail and you might end up wondering what you see in me but we're gonna try. Till then, don't we have a idiot to make cry?"

Gwen laughed, resting her head back on his shoulder.

"Okay, I'll prepare to be absolutely stunned at your ability to focus." Actually it wouldn't be all that surprising, she remembered well the single mindedness he'd had over Darla back in those days and he was right, whenever she had needed him he'd been around, at least before he'd left town entirely. And then the other thing he'd said sunk in and she sat up, looking stunned for another reason.

"A date? As in you and me date? Like a normal couple thing date?" Her nose crinkled with confusion. "How does one of those work?"

She thought about it a bit more, chewing on her lip as she tried to think of what a normal girl would do, but she couldn't get past one idea. "Is there a reason that stealing stuff can't be a date?" She did still want that sculpture after all.

He joined her in the laugh, it was easy with Raiden, they'd always been this comfortable and now, there was just more to it he supposed. Like the date that had suprised her. It had sort of suprised him to say it, more than that, to mean it.

"...Like a normal couple date yeah, whats so wrong with," he paused finally realising what she'd said, "You want to go and steal something, as a date."

She was weird, she was very very weird.

"...I suppose we could do that. You're insane but luckily I knew that getting into this"

She really really did want to steal stuff, and she didn't see any reason why it couldn't be a date. For them anyway.

"Well why not?" she pointed out. "I thought dates were meant to be this thing where couples go and do things they enjoy together and I enjoy stealing stuff. So it could work as a date, right?"

That was her logic and she was sticking to it, even if he did call her insane. She grinned with a laugh that could maybe be described as manic as she looked at him, gray eyes sparkling.

"You don't just know I'm insane, you actually like it. Keeps things interesting, admit it."

He laughed, he supposed that was the idea of a date. And only Raiden could want to steal on a date. But she was right about her craziness keeping things interesting.

Whatever 'this' was, whatever would come of the things they had done together tonight, he didn't know, It confused him more than most things. This woman who he could never truly have but wanted all the same.

But right now he would think about the job she had for them. The pseduo date.

"Lets go then" he said, releasing her from his grasp. "Who's giving the orders?" he asked with a smirk as he got to his feet.

Whatever this was with them, it was new and confusing, but that didn't stop the excitement Gwen was feeling just before a big steal. There was no other thrill quite like it and besides, she knew Lindsey enjoyed it as much as she did.

So she stood up gracefully as he let her go, grinning wildly.

"You may give the orders in here, which is totally hot by the way," she trailed off a moment as her mind really went to a whole new place again before she snapped back to the here and now with a smirk. "But out there I am so the boss of you."

At least when it came to stealing stuff anyway.

Lindsey smirked at the thought of Gwen taking charge, it was an interesting concept and one he wasn’t entirely adverse to in a woman, Darla had been like that while Eve had pretty much been the opposite, he imagined Gwen would be somewhere in the middle but that didn’t stop him levelling her with a stare just to show her who exactly was in charge right then and there and finished up the look by moving close enough to her to run a hand along her leather clad stomach. He hoped she was okay with it, the slight foray into domination but she hadn’t complained. And they were about to go out on a job.

“Fine Raiden, outside of here, on the job, I’ll follow you, always do when you let me help”

Which was rare but it had happened, and he’d enjoyed it quite a lot. Plus the job had gotten done.

“So lead on, boss” he teased.

Gwen met his stare with a hint of defiance and a playful smirk that showed just how much she really was tempted to say screw the job and stay right there with him. Almost without her even realizing, her breath hitched in her throat as his hand ran over her leather. It was closer than anyone else ever got and she was relishing in it.

But there was still the pretty sculpture and her need to do something that most would consider really quite bad. So she grinned, checking her gear for the final time.

"Just do what I tell you, the instant I tell it, with absolute obedience, that so much to ask?" Her tone was playful as she led the way outside, leading the way to the loser's apartment and his pretty pretty things.
