I7-The Triad's Apartment

[Rachel O'Brien]

Rachel walked in, head aching, still a little turned around from being in Will's head.

[Ryan Gabriel]

Ryan looked up from the book he was reading, frowning at the look on Rachel's face as she entered. "Are you all right, babe?" he asked, setting the book down on the coffee table.

[Rachel O'Brien]

"I've got a monster headache." Rachel said, sitting down next to him "And I never want to eat a brownie again."

[Ryan Gabriel]

Ryan blinked, sliding over to make room for her. "I... could have bear make them next time," he offered. "I mean, I knew the ones I'd make would suck, I told you that." He had no idea what was going on, but he gently pulled her toward him, sliding glowing fingers across her head to try to push the pain away.

[Rachel O'Brien]

"No, the ones you made tasted great." Rachel said, sighing as her headache evaporated "Sara and I spent some time in Will's head and it is a very strange and wonderful place. He's redecorated, with a Willy Wonka theme."

[Ryan Gabriel]

Ryan paused for a moment. "I'm... both disturbed, yet not surprised to hear that." He shifted around a little, then pulled her gently to him so they could relax a little. "So he's doing better now?"

[Rachel O'Brien]

"I'm not sure about that." Rachel said "I hope that this will be the start of him getting better."

[Ryan Gabriel]

He sighed and shook his head, running his fingers through her hair. "God, that poor guy. Poor both of them. Hell of a time for someone to make a mess of his head."

[Rachel O'Brien]

"Yeah, I think thats part of why Will's working so hard to act like everything is normal." Rachel said "and we both know how well that works."

[Ryan Gabriel]

Ryan chuckled. "What, us? Pretend problems don't exist? I don't know what you're talking about," he teased.

[Amanda Weinrich]

"Exactly." Rachel said, sighing a little.

[Ryan Gabriel]

"You okay?" he asked quietly, leaning forward and kissing her head. "That... couldn't have been fun."

[Rachel O'Brien]

"It was really tiring and stressful." Rachel said "Especially since I just had to put up with it. I mean, Will's my friend, and ripping holes in his defenses would have been the dick move of all dick moves."

[Ryan Gabriel]

He nodded, giving her a little squeeze. "At least he's got people to help him now. You going to be okay helping him? Or is this getting pushed off to the Headmistress and the Dark Lord of Genosha?"

[Rachel O'Brien]

"I have no idea." Rachel said "I think that part will be up to him and Sara."

[Ryan Gabriel]

Ryan sighed and nodded. "Anything I can do to help?" he asked. From the way he said it, he wasn't really referring to Will and Sara.

[Amanda Weinrich]

"You've already helped with the headache." Rachel said "And other than not eating anything sugary for a week, I can't think of anything."

[Ryan Gabriel]

He sighed again and nodded. "Well, I'm here. I'm not a psychic expert or anything, but that can't be fun."

[Rachel O'Brien]

"Well, you know how much I hate being helpless."

[Ryan Gabriel]

Ryan smirked. "Well, if you need a way to assert your overwhelming powers and force of will, let me know what I can do," he teased.

[Rachel O'Brien]

"Speaking of that, I made a wrong turn and ended up inside Will's libido."

[Ryan Gabriel]

Ryan blinked. "Um... this has the sound of something I'm going to ask about, and have no idea what I'm getting into. So... what happened?"

[Rachel O'Brien]

"Nothing." Rachel said "I managed to get out before I got groped. Well, groped too much. Its kind of an ongoing orgy of every pervy thought that Will ever had in his life. And believe me, Will has had some really pervy thoughts."

[Ryan Gabriel]

Ryan blinked. "Should... I be feeling inadequate right now?"

[Rachel O'Brien]

"No, you shouldn't." Rachel said "Because I might like to play around the edges of bondage sometimes, but I DON'T want to live there."

[Ryan Gabriel]

"Okay, just checking," Ryan said, kissing the top of her head, doing his best to quiet his own lebido for a while.

[Rachel O'Brien]

"When you aren't all the guy I want, I'll let you know." Rachel said, trying to tease a little.

[Ryan Gabriel]

"So... when you finally find someone to clone me?" he teased back, giving her a squeeze.

[Rachel O'Brien]

"Nah, I'd just keep both of you around, then." Rachel said "Then I could have one of you with me at all times."

[Ryan Gabriel]

"At least one of me," Ryan corrected. "Wait... are we working under the assumption that you'd need two of me, or that you could someday possibly find another guy that would work for you? I'm confused. Which is easy, since I'm a man, before the utter grace and wisdom that is you," he teased.

[Rachel O'Brien]

"What I'm saying." Rachel said, turning to face him "Is that you're the only guy that I want or need. And I don't see that changing. Ever."

[Ryan Gabriel]

Ryan smiled, pulling her to him. "I think I like the sound of that," he said, before he leaned forward and kissed her.

[Rachel O'Brien]

"Good." Rachel said "How did I get so lucky anyway? I get the best guy I've ever met and the most fabulous girl ever."

[Ryan Gabriel]

"Well hell, I've got both of the most fabulous girls ever, so I think I beat you there," he teased, giving her a playful spank and a grin.

[Rachel O'Brien]

"I like that attitude." Rachel said, kissing him.

[Ryan Gabriel]

"Mmm... I thought you might. What can I say, a goddess needs the propper respect from her humble servant," he teased, kissing her back.

[Rachel O'Brien]

"From her fellow divine being of awesome, you mean." Rachel said, kissing him again "Like I'd lower myself to consorting with mere mortals."
