Destiny finally managed to get Joe up to the apartment with nothing more than a few bruises to show for it. It had taken several trips through hammerspace but she had managed it.
She unlocked the door and dragged him inside, putting him on the couch. She went into the kitchen and rustled around in one of the drawers, looking for smelling salts.

Joe drowsily rolled off of the couch. His entire hand was black, but only part of it on his palm was the burn mark. He mumbled a couple cuss words, then fell back into a deep sleep.

Destiny held the smelling salts aloft in triumph, then noticed Joe slumped on the floor. She pulled him back upright as best as she could and shoved the smelling salts under his nose.
"WAKE UP!"

Joe sleepily opened his eyes and winced, then looked into Destiny's eyes. He had a puzzled looke on his face and said, "Well... Where are we, babe?" He looked around, then looked at his hand.

"We're at... MY HOUSE! You wake then? I was fuckin' worried here, pal. You spazzed out then you passed out and your hand was on FIRE!" Destiny said, flailing.

Joe shook his head, then scooted over and sat with his feet on the ground. He LOOKED at the ground, then said, "Destiny... I.... I don't know how to say it..." He wiped a tear from his eye.

"You don't know how to say what? Seriously, what the hell went on there? I've not seen that kind of reaction to Fireon before. Well, I've seen it set people on fire but they never survived."

Joe's head snaped up, he looked her straight in the eyes, thben he hugged her tightly and buried his head in her shoulder, "Destiny... I... I love you!" He hugged her tighter, and tears flowed from his eyes.

"Holy crap, dude, that's a little quick!" Destiny said. She didn't push him away though, instead stroking his hair gently and hugging him back.

Joe snuggled up against her and said, "You're the first person I've ever loved that wasn't in my family... Destiny, I would die without you." He curled up slightly.

"Damn right you would, you'd be dead from emo. And I'm just so damned awesome." she said, joking. "Now, do you need anything or do you want to go back to sleep? I could pull a bunk bed into my room if you're tired."

Joe shook his head and said, "I'm awake... I'd rather just sit here than lie down..." He uncurled, but was still hugging her.

Destiny wriggled, moving to a more comfy position on the couch. "Y'wanna watch a movie?" she said.

Joe shrugged and said, "Sure... What movie, though?" He grabbed his bag and rummaged through it, then smiled. He brought out an old, dusty DVD, 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' He grinned even wider.

Destiny pounced on it and popped it into the DVD player. "Where's the remote? Where's the remote!" She started rummaging around for the remote.

Joe smiled at her and said, "This remote?" He grabbed a remote that had apparently fallen on the ground when she put him on her couch, and handed it to her.

Destiny grabbed it and started pressing random buttons. "Work telly, work, damn you!" she said, flailing. "Why isn't it working?"

Joe laughed and said, "Maybe... If it was on it might be a lil better." He reached over with a wince and pressed the power button on the T.V.

The television blared into life, the volume being up the full way, Destiny scrambled to turn it down, getting it to an acceptable level. "Ooow... My ears."

Joe winced again and said, "Oh gawd.... My back hurts...." He felt around his back, pulling his hand away and seeing it covered with blood, he yelped.

Joe shook his hea and said, "Destiny... I have no idea how this happened... But it has happened before. I fell on a metal pole when I was little and cut my back open. The scar's always been here. When I'm in a lot of stress it just opens up...." He grabed his bag, grabbed a towel out of it, and sat on the towel. He winced, then looked at the T.V.

Destiny got the first aid kit and soaked a wad of cotton with iodine. SHe pushed his hand out oft he way and started cleaning the cut. "Between your random bleeding and my heamophilia if we ever fought together we'd end up drowning the other guy in our own blood." she remarked.

Joe shook his head and said, "It doesn't happen during stressful situations. Only after. I have no idea why. But I WOULD feel sorry for the guy who had to fight you and me both at the same time........" He winced as the cotton swab touched the wound, then, mysteriously, the blood stopped coming out and it was only a pulsing, red, wet mark on his back, all in around a minute.

"I wouldn't. I'm not very good at it." Destiny said, then stared at where the wound had been. "...Huh. That's... Odd." She kept dabbing at it anyways, just to be safe.

Joe shivered uncomfortably and said, "Let's just watch the movie... There's no need to worry, okay?" He turned around and looked at her.

"Alright but if you drop dead it's totally your own fault!" Destiny tossed the the cotton wad into the bin and flopped down next to Joe, pulling out a tub of hot buttery popcorn.

Destiny snuggled up to him happily to watch the movie. "Yay!"

Joe chuckled a little bit, then blushed as he laid his head down on her.
