If You Cant Stand the Heat Get The Hell Out

[Inferno]

Jason tossed and turned in bed his black hair falling over his closed eyes. He couldnt sleep, he didnt know why he had to think of her of all people before he closed his eyes to end the day. She was the one thing he could live without at the moment yet her face haunted him lingering like a puff of smoke in the air. He decided he couldnt fall asleep, at least not while her hazel eyes gazed at his everytime he closed his eyes.

He gave a low growl and sat up quickly. The eerie blue glow of early morning crept into the dark room. He starred at the glass Mickey Mouse clock beside his bed 3:42am. He swore softly ruffling his dark hair back and throwing the clock across the room and hearing its glass shatter. He didnt care, his step father gave it to him for a Christmas present before the social services took him away. It always showed him what he didnt like anyway.

"Stupid, useless thing..." He murmured standing up and walking over to his closet and walking into it throwing shoes and clothes out of his way. "Damn it! son of a-" He said irritated finding a odd mis matched pairs of shoes. Finally finding a pair of pants and pulling them on slowly.

The cold morning air cut at him like a knife from the open window. It was one thing he hated about early morning everything seemed peaceful. Too peaceful as though the world were plotting in silence. He hated silence, it was one of his pet peeves though when it got too quiet he chose to make some noise, arguments were good, but he decided better on it and turned on his stereo full blast. The screaming voices of some unnamed rock band blasted and made the floor shake.

Still groggy he walked over to the dresser and pulled out something red and lacy. He picked it up slowly eyeing it slightly confused. Then pulling it out completely it dawned on him what it was, lingere. He gave a small angered sigh and threw it in the corner of the room, when will they learn to keep their things in their own drawers? He'll have to speak to the twins next time, but till then Bubbles and Apple would have to wait. He thought angrily. He pulled out another set of lingere which was blue and just as lacy and threw it in the same corner as the other one.

He finally managed to pick out a shirt that wasnt stained with some unknown substance, whether red paint or blood he knew not. But he made a mental note to keep his road rage a bit more clean next time. He pulled out a shirt and pulled it on slowly.

The walls shook from the music that boomed from his room. They all knew better than complain. Few knew it because of respect, most of them knew out of fear. He rubbed his eyes and began to put on his face. The black mascara on his eyes.

He starred in the mirror. He frowned, shrugged, and walked over to his bed and lay down once again waiting for something to happen. He closed his eyes and lay on the bed the music pounding. He was itching for a good fight, but then again- WHAM!

A pillow was smacked over his cold face. He sat up bolt right giving a shout of anger. ON seeing who it was his temper decreased slightly. "What the hell do you want, Twiggy? Do you know what time it is?"

[Rei Filatov]

Sleep always tried to pervade those who sought it, but for once, in a long while, Reija hadn’t had a problem sleeping. She had gotten to sleep on the first try and she hadn’t been dreaming at all. Her mind had been blank, which was a very great thing, seeing as she was quite worn out from wear and tear. The woman needed that thing we all idolize as precious, sleep. She had been rolled up in her crimson bed sheets, which she found to be completely comfortable. For once she didn’t look like the terror that she almost always was. She was peaceful for once in her hectic life. She wasn’t bothering anyone. Nothing, but it seemed that she couldn’t have a moments peace!

The sounds of things being thrown around and battered reached her ears and Reija just rolled over, though she was stirring a bit, and kicked her sheets off. Her body was comfortable in many temperatures, and Reija just couldn’t sleep with a lot of clothing on, it was something she couldn’t do. Her window was cracked slightly and a breeze blew in, blowing her hair about a bit and tracing over the bare skin of her arms and legs. Crimson tank top and shorts were always comfortable. They were great for sleeping in and Reija had made that decision long ago, though she didn’t really know why she stuck with the colors, but they were her’s. They looked got on her and they fit her most of the time. More thuds and some cursing caused Reija’s eyes to flutter a bit and she rolled over onto her stomach, nuzzling into the pillow. Then, the worst thing happened. A stereo was blaring, and Reija was more than jarred enough to wake! Everything bounced with the gyrations of the heavy music and Reija rubbed her eyes sleepily peering at the clock. Oh, hell no! It was too early/late for that! Rei had work tomorrow and she needed her sleep. Unfortunately for everyone, Reija didn’t fear a damned thing. The woman didn’t have anything to loose and she had far too much of a temper to fear anything in this world.

She tried lying back down for a few moments, but that music was just pissing her off even more. She couldn’t sleep with that shit playing next door. Her groan sounded small compared to the music, but she was awake and angry, very angry, now. Lifting her legs over the side of the bed, Rei hoisted herself up and growled as she made her way out her door, not bothering to put on any shoes or anything because she didn’t really give a flying fuck, and rounded to the next room. She knew it to be Jason’s. She, unlike others, didn’t have to fear him. She’d never fear him. He wasn’t superior to her in any way, shape, or form and she had some years on him to boot! She was older and she could kick his ass if he wanted to fight with her. Reija was a surly person and when her sleep was disrupted she got worse! She was older, and in her mind wiser, than Jason and he was about to get a bit of a handy tip from her, whether he decided to listen peacefully or have her beat his ass and hand it to him on a platter was up to him. Reija didn’t bother knocking, he wouldn’t hear it any damned way! She barged right in and right to his stereo before flipping the device off furiously. She had respect for Jason, but she wasn’t tolerating this. She was higher up on the chain than him, technically. She was older and everything, and he was sure as hell pissing her off. The silence rung through the air for a moment and Rei lifted a brow angrily and turned to Jason with an air of both vehemence and extreme fatigue. Her lips formed a line and she placed her hands on her well-shaped hips, which were covered by rather short shorts and were allowing the head and tail of her winding water dragon to be peeking out, as she groaned a bit. She demanded attention.

“Jason, I don’t really give a damn what you do, but when you do this shit this early in the morning while I’m trying to fucking sleep, you piss me off. I should and probably will fucking murder you if you ever do this again.”

Reija spat out, though she wasn’t done.

“Leave the god damned music off or I’ll be forced to drown you in your sleep. I, unlike you, have things to do all the time and I need sleep, damn it!”

Punctuating her statements, Reija betrayed herself by letting out a rather large yawn. She was tired and Jason was going to hear it for a long time. Though, she’d rather be in bed, she was up now and she’d never fall back to sleep. She was going to kill him…

[Inferno]

Jason starred at her. Wonderful another angry woman parading arround the house in pajamas infront of him. He sat up rubbing his eyes to get a clearer focous if he was going to snap at her let it be in focus. He sat comfortably on his bed.

“Jason, I don’t really give a damn what you do, but when you do this shit this early in the morning while I’m trying to fucking sleep, you piss me off. I should and probably will fucking murder you if you ever do this again.”

"You do that, Twiggy, you do that..." He said gruffly still groggy and irritated from the rude pillow hitting "What the hell ,Twiggy? Smacking me in the face with a god damn pillow, you've got some nerve..." He growled ruffling back his black hair away from his eyes "And I know you need your fucking beauty sleep...it aint doing you much good but you need it..."

He gave a sigh standing up and shutting the window, he sensed an argument. He wanted to argue yes, just not with her at the moment. He was groggy and unprepared. She could over power him with words in the early morning and he knew it but he didnt back off anymore than he would open a door for his elderly Mother.

"Work? Is that god forsaken Taco truck still arround..." He gave a smirk at her expresion "Because everyone knows just how hard it is to wrape a burrito at seven am..."

“Leave the god damned music off or I’ll be forced to drown you in your sleep. I, unlike you, have things to do all the time and I need sleep, damn it!”

He gave a smile and raised his right hand in a boy scout solute. "I promise I will never disturb the beauty sleep of Rei the taco maker ever again. Scouts honor. There, that good enough for you?"

He began to walk toward the corner of the room where the blue and red lingere lay. He picked them up quickly and threw them in the closet, knowing full well that would get pissed if she found out about any of his speacial friends. Mutant or not.

He looked over at Rei smiling. "Go back to bed, the Taco truck awaits..."

[Rei Filatov]

Reija must have been much more focused than him. Her expression only grew angrier and he was ridding the border that she would choke the life out of him with her own hands! Reija Filatov wasn't one to dance with like that. Not only could she beat his ass phsycially, but she could probably kill him easily with her powers, considering she was both older than him and she was his opposite as well as more experienced! Reija could drown him in the water he had already drank! At the moment she was leaning more toward physical violence. She wanted to rip his head off and shove it up his ass. Reija was a beautiful woman, and Jason was just a moron! She didn't even care what he thought of it! She wanted to kill him, though.

"Jason, don't fuck with me, I'm liable knock your head off and then shove it up your ass."

Reija spat out as her left eye twitched angrily. Her angry eyes followed him around and her body language was much worse. She was stiff and though she was only a bit more awake than him, she could probably still kill him quicker than he could react. She blinked. Taco truck? Was he on fucking drugs? Reija didn't work anything that was that much menial labor! She worked on computers and with the newspaper! He was high or something, and his dodgy movements were just pissing her off. His comment got to her and when he said scout's honor she went forward and pushed him, backin him up a ways, into his own wall. She was beyond pissed and the fact that she wasn't a pushover and she was stronger than some guys did help.

"That's not good enough, you're just fucking pissing me off more, you fucking dumbass. I don't know where you got a fucking taco truck from, but I'd say you need to lay off the damned drugs. Now that I'm here, I can rant about a few other things, such as you're lazy ass! You are a fucking pig, and if I see any more of that," Reija pointed to the closet, she wasn't dumb, she had seen him stuffing it in there," I'll drown them, and then I'll drown you, but I'm going to be sure to make you die slow and painfully, Jason. This place is not a fucking brothel, or anything along those lines, so tone the shit down, and don't ever play you're fucking music loud enough to reach my ears again."

Re punctuated all of this by aiming a smack, which reverbirated through the room, against the wall next to his head before she moved away from him. She was older, and probably the wiser choice to lead the team, but he was the one with other attributes and things that were needed too. She was a valuable person to have around, unless you pissed her off, then you wouldn't need her because it'd be more likely she'd kill you.... Temper, temper....

[Inferno]

Jason watched her slightly interested then walked over to his desk and sat down. Now that he thought about it he wasnt in the mood for a fight this early in the morning knowing damn straight he would wake up Annette and if he thought Rei was pissed it wouldnt compare to Annette's fury. He starred at Rei trying to focus his eyes in the dull eerie blue morning's light.

He hated the morning. More than anything else in the world, he once made a list of all the things he would always hate. Morning and sardines were at the top of the list. He hated alot of things, but most of all he hated being groggy, out of focus just as he was right now, he result of not sleeping for four days was wearing off on his eyes.

He blinked slowly, there, focused. She had been speaking to him, though he could only image what she was saying he wasnt in the mood to listen. He raised his head and starred into her eyes looking serious.

"Fine, Rei. I'm sorry alright? Hell...didnt think you'd make this big a deal.There I'm sorry, wont do it again, kill me if you want. There are you happy now?" His tone was probably the most serious he had used in four years. He rubbed his eyes looking away from her.

This was an ungodly hour, the hour in which it hurt your head just to think about being up this early. Arround this time he could be dreaming about something or another, Pizza maybe. Yeah, he thought with extra cheese and peperonie...He was practically drooling as he heard his stomach growl.

He placed a tired hand on his stomach. "Never,"He said softly his head pounding "Never again am I going out partying with Camie...I knew that girl would slip something into my drink by the end of the day...but no who was the one to say yes to three taquilla shots?"

He looked up at Rei his eyes out of focus, "And I know you dont work at a taco truck. Your a very intelligent lady, happy?"

[Rei Filatov]

Reija was restraining herself, she could have done worse, Jason knew that well enough. He should note it! Reija did have a certain respect for Jason, yes, but she was a rather tempremental person. She would always be! She knew that he didn't apologize often or anything and she respected him, to an extent. He still had many things to learn and Rei knew he'd get there. She knew he was the choice for a leader because he would be better in the future, but she wasn't positive that was one of the main reasons that she made sure to keep herself straight. She knew that she was the one that could help things out if Jason didn't suceed. She knew it was also hard for him to realize that Rei could kill him. It wasn't as if she wasn't tired as well. She was tired and that was one reason for her bitchiness. She sighed as she rubbed her temples.

"Am I ever fucking happy? You're safe for now, but I mean it when I say don't fucking turn on the god damned music again. I haven't had much sleep, I'm a bit bitchy."

REi said with a shrug as she gave him a bit of a smirk. She heard what he said and shook her head. Going out with Cam and accepting a drink was stupid, he had taken more than one? She snickersd a bit and leaned against his wall with a grin.

"I wouldn't have suggested going out with her in the firt place, but you're really daft for accepting more than one drink. If you start having odd symptoms you'd better head to the toilet. Alcohol and drugs don't always mix well."

She was only teasing bit, but she did mean it to an extent. She cared about Jason. There were no real feelings, though. She did think that Jason was like one of those friends that a younger sibling could have that would drive you nuts just like a sibling, and that's the way she viewed him... most of the time. Though, she was a bit more violent towards him than she ever would ahve been with Kaija.

"Never happy, but it's a good start to keep me from knocking your ass into next century. It is about time that you acknowledge that I'm intelligent and everything. Though, it only serves to feed my ego."

REi grinned and ruffled Jason's hair to piss him off. She was a bit better, though she could still kill him if she wanted.... He'd better not push that boundary.

[Inferno]

Jason looked at her, she was always one with a temper. He acknowledged that, he liked that about her. She knew her place on the food chain and wasnt about to let anyone take her down a knotch. She was on top, along with the others. Despite everything she had ever said to him he respected her for it. She wasnt one to push arround and he wasnt about to try, one he wasnt in the mood for a fight his eyes could barely focus, and two he kept seeing those damn hazel eyes infront of his, she was there again, hiding in his mind.

He smiled at Rei as she ruffled his hair, it pissed him off to the extent where he would snap, but he heard a voice, be poliet, remember your manners, tuck in your shirt. He wrinkled his nose, mothers, even in death they stalked you. He did as he was told, annoyed, but he did. He didnt lash out at Rei, she didnt seem in the mood for that. He only smiled and put a hand over his eyes rubbing them as things began to go in and out of focus.

"You're smart, yeah, I said that already didnt I?" He held his head feeling dizzy, stupid, stupid, stupid, he told himself making a mental note never going out and drinking with Cam ever again. He held on to the desk feeling everything in the room begin to spin.

"Oh, fucking crap..." He murmured softly as things began to get fuzzy again "Just when things were getting to be normal again..never again woman..." He murmured softly rubbing his eyes and watching the blur that was Rei move to the left slightly.

"You mind to stopping by Cam's room and asking her to stop this room from fucking spinning?" He asked slidding down the desk and landing hard on the floor. The fuzzy blur that was Rei seemed to come back into focus.

[Rei Filatov]

He was reserving himself, Reija had expected him to lash out, though he controlled the almost automatic reaction. Reija knew that he was quick to temper as well, though nowhere near as quick or as fiery as her. Reija wasn't one to be matched in anything. The poor guy seemed pretty damned sick and Reija wasn't sure what Cam had given him, but she was suret hat he probably needed to retch to feel better. He looked horrid. Reija couldn't help but have some sympathy for the guy. She refrained from moving for now, knowing that it would probably only cause his dizziness to grow. Knowing Cam as she did, Rei guessed that not only had she given him tequila, but some sort of drug too. Which drugs did Cami do again? Would she really put them in Jason's drink? Rei wasn't really sure, she should have paid more attention.

"Yeah, afraid we alreay broached that attention."

She watched him with both a trained eye and a concerned eye. She knew quite well he was in for a hard night from here on and she knew that he might not follow his own scorning to never go drinking with Camine again. Rei moved to her left, which put her closer to the drunkened, whatever Jason.

"Just dizziness and blurry vision, or are you feeling the nausea and whatnot yet?"

Rei asked, though it came out in her normal tone of voice, there was concern under it. There was no way that Cam was up at the moment, she had a normal scheduel. She passed out after going out and everything. She wasn't getting up until she wanted to get up. Jason should realize that, but then again she didn't think that he really meant that. Rei wouldn't know...

"You as well as I know that Cam is out for the night. She's probably already passed out."

Reija moved over to Jason and hoisted him up onto his bed. She was strong enough to be able to do this all easily. Jason wasn't heavy or anything.

"You going to be okay?"

[Inferno]

Jason felt sightly offended by her "Are you alright?"

As though his manhood had been put into jepordy enough by her leading him to his bed. Jason felt he needed to suck it up, do something to prove his worth. Feelings slightly put off he said his eyes trying and failing to focus on hers.

"No, I'm fine...I think I'm gonna go have a beer or spit or something..." He said standing up, he could think of no more manly thing to stay than that as he stood on wobbly legs. He swore from this day on never to drink anything near Camie ever again.

"Just dizziness and blurry vision, or are you feeling the nausea and whatnot yet?"

He grabbed on toe the wall as he walked on his uneven legs, Rei had always been one to poke shots at him but he noticed that now she wouldnt have to try hard. He turned slowly feeling dizzy and trying to find her familiar blur, "Rei, remember last summer by the pool?"

He rubbed his eyes, "Well I sure as hell dont. There was something I was supposed to remember about that day, funny thing though. Now I cant fcking remember...Go get Dreamer's medical book I'm going to find out what the hell, CG put in my fcking drink. This is completely insane..."

[Kitty]

(Too Lazy to switch sns.)

Reija couldn't help but crack a s mile. Jason was so far out of it that Rei didn't know if she should knock him out and let him sleep or if she should try to help him. She held her hand over her mouth as she cracked a grin and felt herself begin to laugh at her friend. Poor guy would probably feel like hell the next day. She didn't know for sure, though. She did know that he wasn't right. She couldn't remember Jason spitting or drinking that often, really. Removing her hand, Rei held in a snort and shook her head a bit.

"Yeah, you're fine and I'm the heavyweight boxing champion. lie down and relax, dumbass. You're going to feel like shit tomorrow."

Rei would know. She could probably out drink Cami if she wanted. That didn't mean she hadn't had a hangover before,t hough. They could be killer. Though, Rei had pushed him back onto his bed easily. She took a certain love in poking at others, but at the moment it ws just far too easy. Jason wasn't in any sort of shape and Rei wasn't that mean, most of the time. Hell, he was talking quite oddly. He couldn't remember things. Memory loss? Blinking, Rei stuck her hand on his head just to make sure and quirked a brow.

"Memory loss, much? Of course I remember that was the time that I actually got close to drowning you and I soaked Cam. That was when you both learned I could do a bit more than it seems."

Rei blinked. She wasn't leaving him alone, besides, Rei knew more than a damned medical book. She'd been through this shit before. He'd probably be retching later, but it wasn't for certain yet. Rei sat on his bed and shook her head.

"If you want her medical book lets see if you can get your ass up and go get it. Besides, whatever CG put in your drink can't be something I've not done at one point. You're not dead yet."

Sensitive...not!

[Inferno]

Jason's eyes seemed to focus and stare at her clearly, Rei was never one to do something for someone else without a price. He knew this would only get him into more trouble than it was worth. He gave her questioning look, five seconds more and he could have figured out if she really intended to help him or not, but just his luck his eyes went blurry again. He swore softly.

"Eye drops...cataracks...going blind...whores..." Was the only thing he managed to say before the room began to spin he swore softly and flopped off the bed crawling toward the basket of ditry clothes. At least as he crawled he didnt have far to fall from the ground if he got too dizzy. He managed to knock over the basket and pull out a pair of pants, digging his hands into the pockets he found two white pills with green flecks of something on them. Now that he looked at them they did looked horribly dangerous, but then again when was the last time he was careful? He had gotten into a car while Blink was driving, and that was saying alot.

He looked toward where he thought the giant blur that was Rei stood. He lifted his hand and offered her the pills. "What the hell is it? Extasy? Acid? Tell me it has a name...it better have a fucking name or I'm never going to-"

He felt his stomach give a lurch, he put a hand over his mouth as his inside began to churn. He felt his stomach begin to burn, he gave a groan and stood on wobby legs walking toward the bathroom with as much dignity as he could possibly have in this situation. He turned on the sink and wretched feeling his whole body feel slightly better, at least then the poison or whatever the hell Cam had given him would leave his system, or at least a portion of it. He could see a bit better now or that might have been because of the eye drops he had applied in the bathroom.

He walked back into his room grabbing the door for support and starring at Rei. "Nevermind...I dont give a damn what it is..."

He stumbled over nothing as he walked over to his bed. He flopped down giving a sigh. "Breath Mint my ass..." He muttered drowzily.

[Rei Filatov]

She was genuinely caring at that point. He just had something there that made her think of him as a younger brother. Her own siblings were lost to her. She had to have something to make up for it, then again she had kept things to herself easily enough so far. She knew that Jason needed someone to care and help him at the moment, though. He was going to be sick and she knew it. He had obviously had something, and she was ready to figure out what it was, but then again she quirked a brow and worried when he rolled off the bed. He was nutty. She wasn't sure what was going on with him, she needed to help.

"Do you have cataracks? How blurry is your vision?"

If she knew then she could help. She watched easily as he pulled out some pills. How did he find those? He couldn't even stand. He handed her the pills and she held them in her palm, studying them for a moment. Rei couldn't even answer him, once she did realize what they were, he had made his way into the bathroom. She could hear the sound of him retching before he came back.

Rei took pity on him and stood up and pulled his bedsheets down and over him a bit. She knew that he'd probably retch again too, so she grabbed the trash pail and placed it next to his bed before seating herself on the edge with a sigh.

"They're sure as hell not breathmints. One is a zanax and the other, if I'm not mistaken is an oxycotton. Evidently, someone has been mixing pills. Either way if you took these together they'll screw with you, or even if you take too many, or even only a few."

She was rambling a bit, yes, but it didn't really change anything. She watched him. What else might he need? It had been so long since Rei had felt like that.
