Normally Abnormal Teens (Pheonix/Raven)

[Azura]

She nodded softly, smiling as he took her hand before she would pull away and sighing softly. "It bothers me because we should not have to worry about fighting among each other. We have enough trouble with those students at the school coming up...I need to know that I can trust my teammates, not have to watch my back with them." A little shake of her head given, before she would shift to once more lower her knees.

After doing so, she would slowly lay down upon her side, her wings ever so slightly wrapped about her so that she could rest comfortably, facing him and looking into his eyes with a soft, loving expression. "I was jealous of her just now...." Her pale cheeks reddening just a bit as she looked away from him, unable to hold his gaze as she admitted to such a displeasing act. She knew that it was a natural emotion, but she had no right to feel such a thing toward him or about him, therefore it was wrong of her. Very wrong. "I am sorry...fo..for that." For the first time in almost as long as he had known her, uncertainty lacing her words so heavily that she was barely able to force them out.

Slowly though, her eyes would look up into his once more. A little sigh again given as she curled up a bit more tightly. She was not sure what she felt, for it was different than what she had felt recently around other boys. She just knew that the thought of losing him to Pheonix, well it irritated her beyond all reason. "I never asked, nor wanted, to be bonded with Legion in the manner that I was. I hope that you know that Raven." Speaking up softly, lower lip being worried between her teeth softly.

[Raven]

"... I do not understand why she hates the both of us... I know she has been imprisoned in her room nearly all this time, but what would cause her to want to hurt you..."

Feeling Azura's hand pull away from his hand, he'd let go of hers and rest his hand back on top of the edge of the bed while she lowered her knees back down and laid down on her side, his hazel eyes looking back into her own hazel eyes with affectionate love, before furrowing his brows slightly as she turned away from him.

"... Why are you apologizing Azura? You having nothing to be sorry for, though... why would you be jealous of her? You know I love you more than anything in this world and not of this world... I belong to you, and only you. No one, Pheonix of all people, could ever make me leave your side."

Reaching out and underneath her wings, he didn't need to see her face to know where it was, he had spent many years with her and knew everything about her, and gently brushed his fingers along her cheek, to ease her uncertainty and comfort her. Seeing her look up, her eyes would meet with his own soft eyes filled with comfort and deep routed affection for her as she curled up tighter.

"I know Azura, I know... I want to find a way to free the both of you from the bond you two share... so you will never have to suffer again."

Continuing to gently brush his fingers along her cheek, although his expression appeared serious, she could see his eyes were gentle and full of deep love and comfort for her.

"... I want it to be just the two of us again... And I want you all to myself... I don't want anyone else but you..."

[Azura]

As she laid hidden within her wings, she would feel his hand slide beneath the one that was curled atop of her, fingers softly caressing her cheek and coaxing her to lift her head just enough to peek at him over the sleek black feathered wings that hid her tiny body from sight. "Because she does not hate you. I believe that she possibly likes you in a way that I myself was never able to, am still unable to. She...She can give too you the very thing I cannot and that bothers me....more than it should."

She kept her voice just that of a whisper, lowering her wings just enough to allow him a better view of her, though still hiding within their embrace, the one place that she knew she was safe, regardless of what was going on around her. "I do not know that this bond with Legion can ever be broken, and what I feel for him is so very strong, so very pure...Yet, there are times, when I think of what he has lost, of his family, I remember that I too could have had such a life one day perhaps."

True, she had given up it seemed, long ago, on having such things as a husband and child. But that was not the case...Deep down she had still dreamed of it, and still wished beyond all other things for this to become her reality one day. That perhaps, all her suffering would be rewarded in the end with the most basic of human needs. "I wish that we could have gotten free before any of this happened. Then we would not have all these struggles that we have now...I would not be so torn between such very different loves...I would not be risking, every day that we are together, hurting you in a way that I would never wish to harm you." She stifled back a whimper and would look away once more, seeing the love in his eyes and knowing it was matched within her own...but knowing also that it was not enough...No matter how much she wanted it to be.

[Raven]

Raven would just shake his head. Even if Pheonix does not hate him, even if she liked him in a way that Azura was never able to, give him the very thing Azura could not, he would not leave Azura for it. He loved her so deeply, he could not and would not leave her side. He needed her, and no one could ever take her place in his heart... ever.

"But I don't want her... I want YOU. If there is even a chance that the bond you share with Legion can be broken, I will take it. My chances may be slim to none, but that chance is better than no chance at all. I want you to have a life and be happy, that's all. That's all I've ever wanted for you, ever since I first met you."

Continuing to look at her with deep love and affection as she lowered her wings slightly, allowing him a better view of her, his fingers would continue to brush against her cheek.

"I wish that had happened too... I didn't want to cause you emotional pain, Azura... I'm so sorry... But you are not hurting me in any way, and you would never push me away or lose me. I love you so much... I wish I could take you away from all this... and if he is ever returned back to normal, without that bond... I will. I will take you and get you what you desired for so long... A life, away from experimentation, and pain, and suffering..."

And he truly meant it. He would go as far and as long as Azura wanted, to get away from this damn facility and all the damn scientists within these condemned halls.
