Partners [[Blake and Amelia]]

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia shrugged, "I'm alright...it was a long time ago...it doesn't matter..." She sighed, she didn't want to think about it. She sighed slightly again. "But we have a murder to solve, let's go," She smirked a bit, "Bet you can't beat me." She took off, the air pulling back her hair and for the first time in a while she was carefree.

The wind whipped back her hair and she smiled, turning easily and keeping up her pace, which was fast, while going backwards. Most would have fallen trying to do something like that but not Amelia. She just laughed, watching Blake to see his reaction to her stunt.

[John Blake]

He smiled at her, as she ran. He loved how her hair flowed out behind her. It made her look free, and careless. He like it.
When she said 'bet you can't beat me' He smiled and ran after her.
As she turned around, he was right behind her. He scooped her up in his arms, laughing and not slowing his pace as he continued to run. He smiled at her. "I don't think I can shake you." He smiled at her as he continued to run.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

"Hey!" exclaimed Amelia, laughing. Despite just meeting him she somehow knew he wouldn't mind if she laid her head on his shoulder, and she did just that, smiling up at him. She wrestled slightly with her thoughts, should she tell him, before it's too late? She wasn't sure.

[John Blake]

He smiled at her. "Hey what?" He smiled at her as she put her head on his shoulder. He didn't mind at all. Not one bit. He slowed his run down to a walk, making it a less bumpy ride for her. He didn't know how she felt, but he sure felt something for her, a big something..

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia smiled back at him, she couldn't help him. He just made her feel so free and careless, and whenever he smiled she couldn't help but smile too. He could turn her mood around with a single smile, no one had ever done that before...but there was one person...but she didn't want to think about him. This man who had been her world before he turned on her. Told her that he'd been using her this whole time.

She shook her head to clear his eyes from her thoughts. But the song that he'd liked stuck in her head, "When the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never, because a dance with the devil might last you forever." A quote from Immortal Technique that he'd been quite found of.

[John Blake]

Her smile was infectious. It made him smile more. Her eyes were beautiful and her hair was amazing. He was positive he felt something. But he didn't know what to tell him. He had never had someone before. He had devoted his life to Justice and fighting crimes, but maybe, just maybe he could take a chance. Just a chance that he could love her. He knew he did love her, or at least wanted to, but he was afraid. Robin was afraid..

[Amelia Raven Blake]

She spotted a cruiser ahead and said, "That your car?" she asked softly, looking up at him, somewhat hoping it wasn't she just wanted to spend time with him. She wanted to spill out her whole life to him, wanted to tell him every secret, who she liked in high school, everything that he wanted to hear.

But she didn't. She just said those three words and hoped that the answer was no when she knew it was yes.

[John Blake]

He looked up, seeing his car. He wanted to say no. "Yeah." He sighed, still holding her in his arms as he continued to walk to the car. Well, his chance to say something had faded, or had it. They still had the car ride, but what if she didn't want to talk?
He reached the car, gently setting her back on her feet, opening the passenger side door for her. He smiled softly at her, stepping out of her way and walking around to his own door. He opened it, and waited for her to slip into the car.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia sighed slightly and couldn't hide a smile as he smiled at her. He set her on her feet and opened the door for her. She grinned and slid into the car. She closed her door and watched as he came in. "Ready to show me the ropes?" she teased slightly, smirking trying to give him a hint that she needed need him to teach her.

[John Blake]

He smiled as he slid into the car, shutting his own door. He looked around behind him as he put the key in the ignition turning it and the engine roaring to life. He smiled at her, bouncing his eyebrows as he pulled out. He smiled at her. "Well, what do you know?" He smiled at her more, using the same teasing tone.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

She smirked, "You'll have to wait and see." She grinned at him, she wasn't going to tell him, she'd let him figure out if she needed to be taught the ropes when they got into the mission a little more. She was kind of hoping hand to hand combat would come up so she could show off a little.

[John Blake]

He smirked. "Sounds good to me." He turned his head to her and smiled before looking back to the road. "You ever worked a murder before?" He asked, just trying to get a feel for what she knew.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia rolled her eyes, "Too many, actually..." Only the cases from SHIELD she'd been on most likely ended up that some person with a power ended up accidentally killing someone because they didn't understand their power and she was sure this one wasn't going to be like that. "Have you?"

[John Blake]

He nodded, not saying anything that time. He remembered he started searching for his parents killer soon after he was put in the boys home. He had had several murder cases after that. All of them, permanently in his head. He looked at her as they were at a stoplight, his eyes were clouded slightly, but he managed to clear them.

[Amelia Raven Blake]

Amelia sighed slightly and looked out of the window, watching the trees fly by. She yawned, she was kind of tired, but she was always tired. She had to catch up on the sleep she'd missed after the nightmares plagued her mind. She was always afraid of Sullivan Mortissimo finding her again and now he finally had. A week ago he'd attack her and her friend Brooke in the public library and she was still a little sore from that.
