The Triad's Place

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:03 am

When Bear arrived, she'd find the door unlocked, and Ryan anxiously pacing the living room. Like, well, he usually did when someone was on a mission that wasn't him.

And so, as was inevitable, Bear pushed open the door, and sluffed into the room, dropping her uniform jacket in a pile on the entryway. she was exhausted, but still had a smile on her face now that she was home.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:14 am

"OH thank God," Ryan sighed, crossing the room in fast strides, pulling Bear into a hug.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:16 am

Bear returned the hug, and began crying.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:18 am

"Whoa, whoa, easy babe," Ryan said, actually picking her up and carrying her over to the couch. "It's all right, you're home now. Just relax and talk to me."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:22 am

She sniffled, wiping her eyes and smiling in a way that would give Ryan a warm feeling of joy.

"They're happy tears, Ryan." she said, leaning over and kissing him on the cheek. "I'm home. with you and Rachel.".

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:26 am

Ryan sighed, sounding a little relieved. "Here... tell you what. I'll go fill the tub for you, and you can tell us all about it there," he said, smirking a little.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:34 am

"You're home!" Rachel said as she ran from the front door to Bear, not pausing to shut the door, barely taking the time to drop her satchel "What happened, baby? We were so worried."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:36 am

"That.. Sounds perfect. and bring the first aid kit.. Need to check on a bandage or two."

Bear tried to make it sound as sexy as she could, giving him a sly smile, but she couldn't pull it off terribly well.

She started peeling off the remainder of her uniform, bruises and cuts still fresh.

"It.. it wasn't a friendly, easy mission.." She said, turning and hugging and kissing Rachel.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:38 am

Ryan winced and nodded. "All right... I'll go get it started, give me a minute," he said, heading back to the bedroom and the bathroom.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:50 am

"I guessed." Rachel said "Your new perfume is....unique." she added as she helped Bear out of her uniform, frowning as new cuts and bruises were exposed.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:54 am

"Reminds me of the farm. only with more toxins and incinerated buildings mixed in. And sewers."

Chuckling lightly, she shuddered, thinking of The Mockery.

"And right now, I want to scrub and scrub until every little bit is off of me."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 2:01 am

"Want some help with your back?" Rachel asked "And your hair?"

by **Byrna Cooper** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 2:09 am

"Mmmm. Please."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 2:20 am

"What do you think, Ryan?" Rachel said as he walked back into the room "I'll take the top and you'll take the bottom?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 2:25 am

"I think we can just keep trading off as we go!" Ryan called back over the sound of the tub filling.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 6:45 pm

and Bear smiled, happy and relieved to be back home.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 11:46 pm

"Why don't you start." Rachel said to Ryan "I'm going to toss out her clothes. Unless you want to burn them."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 12:01 am

"Yeah, I can burn them. It'd probably be... more hygenic," Ryan said, walking back out as the tub filled.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 12:08 am

bear smiled and sighed, not waiting before testing the water and slipping down into it.. It had been a long time coming.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 2:33 pm

There was an irritated exclamation from out on the fire escape as Ryan tried to get a stupid lighter to work to burn the likely-flammable-by-itself uniform. It sounded like he'd be out there for a bit.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:13 pm

Bear slipped under the water briefly, soaking her hair and surfacing, looking for the liquid soap and bath poofee.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:15 am

Rachel dropped the required items into the tub. "How long were you there?" she asked quietly.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:18 am

Ryan came back in, taking off a shirt that smelled distinctly like lighter fluid now, and washed his hands as he muttered something like 'stupid unstable molecules'. And, seeing that Rachel had the 'take care of Bear thing under wraps, evidently, he tossed his shirt in the hamper and started heading out to make dinner. Or something.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:22 am

"Days.. Weeks.. It all jumbles together.."

Bear began washing, slowly.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:24 am

"Ugh, that sounds awful." Rachel said sending a mental Get in here sweetie, she needs us both. to Ryan.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:31 am

She has you, she'll be fine. He was just trying to be thoughtful, after all.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:41 am

Ok. Rachel said to Ryan

by **Byrna Cooper** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:41 am

bear reached up, kissing Rachel, glad to be I'm her arms again, soapy or not.

"There was.. Me. evil me, there as well. and wow was she un-groovy. Dirty and fithy and insane..."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 12:44 am

A little disappointed, but not surprised, that he'd been right, Ryan opened the fridge to see what he could make them.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 9:10 pm

"Ugh, that sounds awful." Rachel said, hugging her Ryan, she's really freaked, you need to get in here.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 9:14 pm

...I don't want to get in the way, Ryan hesitated.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 9:15 pm

bear shuddered a bit. Trying to wash the thoughts out of her head.

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 9:57 pm

You're never in the way. Rachel said "You're safe now." she said to Bear "Ryan and I are here for you."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 10:10 pm

Ryan hesitated in the doorway. I hope you're right. Then, obviously unconcerned about getting his clothes soaked in the process, he walked over and leaned into the tub to hug Bear, bathwater and all.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 10:12 pm

Of course I'm right. Rachel said, getting the shampoo so she could clean Bear's hair.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 10:13 pm

bear smiled, settling down a tiny bit, hugging Ryan with a deep, soapy embrace.

"I don't want to leave you two ever again."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 10:16 pm

Ryan squeezed her again, before moving out of the way to let Rachel wash her hair. He started shrugging out of his rather soaked shirt then. "There is one important question," he pointed out. "Why's there only one of us in the tub? I mean, seriously, are we slipping here?"

by **Byrna Cooper** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 10:21 pm

Bear giggled.

"Well, I could use all the help I could get.."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 10:29 pm

Ryan smirked as he pushed his pants off. "Scoot up a little, then, you're tiny, you don't need as much room," he teased, moving to slip in behind her.
