Love cubed! (Kristof, Razor & Ziggy)

[Gummy]

Ziggy was busy with her life. School and the hospital were keeping her mind busy. The things she had been working on was hard work and she still wasn't sure it was wise to be going ahead. At the very least she had managed to figure out what was wrong with the machine. The hardest part was actually fixing it without using her modules. The components she needed were not available on Earth but elsewhere. That meant she needed to do some work on finding the components or parts that were as close as possible. That resulted in her going to various shops dotted throughout New York. She couldn't tell Fisk what it was as she couldn't remember what it was called but she did know what it was in and that she DEFINITELY wasn't going to tell him in case she was wrong and he ended up using it for the wrong purpose!

So far though her search wasn't going well. None of the shops had what she was looking for. That made her frustrated and hungry! So she found herself wondering down a street which smelt like a cross between Chinese and Indian. The only problem was she couldn't remember what she liked best or what she fancied so she just read the menus hoping something would catch her attention.

Kristoff sighed as he landed hard in an alley way, head leaning against a brick wall as cats hissed at him and ran off. Exhaustion flooded every inch of his being. It had been sometime since he had left for space and to deal with the Collector. A confrontation that had not been pretty at all, but it had resulted in what he wanted. Ziggy was now free of the mad man's clutches. He took a deep breath before activating the magical beacon he had placed on her after taking her memory. That had been one of the hardest things, watching those beautiful eyes go foggy and the way she looked at him, a stranger. The sleep spell was next, and he took her to a place she would be safe, paying for the best room for as long as she needed it. And the letter. Oh, that letter had been like sticking a knife in his chest and twisting.

He pulled his mind back to the here and now, the exhaustion making his brain fuzzy and drifting. How long had it been since he had slept? Most of it was a blur. As he focused on the signal, he felt a rush as he realized she was here. And not very far at all. He turned, his cloak billowing out. Almost out of the alley he stopped and looked down at himself. He couldn't approach her like this, she would panic. Hell, everyone would panic and then some hero would pop up.

He focused and his armor teleported away, going back to his warehouse. Leaving him in blue jeans, a white shirt and a brown bomber jacket. His long brown hair hung down in his face, very much in need of a haircut.

Stepping out of the alley, he walked quickly. Almost running as, he was pulled in the direction of his magical tracker.

He came to a street that smelled of Chinese and Indian food, his mind flashing back to that day in the warehouse when she told him the places she enjoyed. He moved quickly, eyes moving from person to person until he saw a streak of red. His eyes landed on Ziggy and he felt his heart rate increase, his palms getting sweaty. He wiped them on his jeans, moving to stand behind her in line, looking at the menu.

"You told me you liked Indian food." As he said it, he released the spell holding her memory back.

Razor

"I don't smile for me, I smile for you."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Razor had been doing a lot of odd jobs for Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants as he was able to. He wasn't a fan of some of them, but he certainly trusted Magneto's judgment to some degree. There was always some level of skepticism, and he often found himself wondering if he was simply acting out of spite. A part of him was sad that Professor Xavier hadn't reached out in this time, but he also knew that it was not out of character for him.


He decided to take a day for himself in the city this time, though. His goal was to visit the church he was taken in all those years ago, but he got sidetracked because he was hungry. As luck would have it, he ran into Ziggy and..? He couldn't remember if he had met the guy before, but he was there with her more and more.
Good for her? He wasn't sure the status of the two of them, but maybe this solidified it.


"Oh, hey guys. How are you all?"

Ziggy flinched when she was addressed by another teen. Then looked to another.

"I'm sorry but do I.....?"

Then it all hit her. It hit her hard all at once. She stumbled back knocking into the back of someone as all the emotions, memories, experiences, personality and it was too much. Her hands headed for her head as experiments, adventures and relationships hit her. Her mind! NO! She had to stop it! Had to... her hand went into her pocket, she needed to concentrate it was hard as she fumbled and the bits in her hand turned into two small modules. She let out a gasp.

"No!"

She was fighting it. Didn't want to feel it all again, didn't want to know all the bad. Had to focus as her hand went into her pocket again this time she tried to put it on her temple but as her face went confused with a frown her hold over the modules slacked and they too turned into two more modules that floated around her head.

"NO!"

The emotions came back again.

"Make it stop! Make it stop!"

She was holding her head and her legs felt weak as she locked eyes with Razor and tears came to her eyes. She whispered the next word.

"Please?"

Then her eyes moved to Kristof.

[Zeronone]

Kris looked over as another kid joined them. He seemed familiar with Ziggy, but Kris had never seen him before. Not to say he knew everyone in Ziggy's life. He had only known her a few days and what she told him about her life had been the Collector. So, he gave a smile and a nod. Turning back to Ziggy he waited for it to come back..and it did. Way too much too fast. He cursed as he recalled that memory spells could do that. Stupid, stupid, stupid!! He did it too fast, he got excited and rushed it.

"Ziggy, listen to me. We talked about this, deep breaths and let them flow back. If you fight it, they will only push harder. Remember the steps I told you, focus on the recent memories and let the old ones connect with it. Don't fight it!"

He cursed himself again, wanting to bang his head on the wall for allowing his over eagerness to take over. Some genius, he got so excited about seeing her again that he didn't even think about the time and place to release it. He should have talked to her first, stupid emotions!

Kris looked around at the people who had started to look their way, some scared others concerned. A few of the guys had stood up and looked angry. Not good, a fight or whatever here would only increase Ziggy's stress.

Razor

"I don't smile for me, I smile for you."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was recollection on Razor's face. He recalled the things that he had done in prior years to Ziggy and the way he had treated her. They were not things he was proud of, but he felt this was deeper than that. Especially because she was bringing a sense of pleading to him. While he wanted to find out exactly what was going on with her, he knew that making a scene here was not the best move. He didn't know who this new guy was, so he couldn't be sure if he was friend or foe at the moment, but he'd have to work with him for now.


"Here, you can take her out for some air, and I will get your orders if you'd like." He'd say, with a more imperative tone than anything else.


He also noted the people standing and getting upset, and he also wanted to avoid a fight if he could help it. Though, he hadn't had a fight in a while, and was likely more irritable than his friends here. He tried to avoid interactions with Ziggy, because it was clear his presence was the aggravator.

Ziggy listened but it was like she was seeing double. Her mind was good and she really didn't want to be feeling like this. Love, hurt, pain trust, romance first kiss, yearning, having to do what she had to do.... NOPE! STOP!......

..... Her mind froze....

.... She focused on the here and now. See Kristof, Razor, menu, chairs, people. Hear whispers, sizziling, heart beat, car. Feel sweaty, hot, cold....

..... She walked outside. Smell chinese, fumes. Taste bile!

Ziggy calmed and focused on her breathing. The sounds faded.

"Oh God! Oh God!"

She sat down on an empty chair. She couldn't look at anything apart from the pavement or table. Her hands fiddled, beads of sweat were trickling down her whole body as she fought to stay in control just for a little longer. The cold air helped. She moved her hands to her temples as her head started to hurt, crack and buckle. She spoke calmly once she heard Razor.

"Kristof. Bring Razor I need him as much as you. I can't hold for long."

In a matter of moments she had managed to stop everything from flooding in completely and she knew it wasn't going to last. She knew that ANY distraction would make her lose it all. Razor knew how dangerous that could be*, Kristof had never seen this part of her.

[Zeronone]

Kris was still kicking himself for bringing her memories back too fast. He should have waited, analyzed the situation, talked to her, he had left the note she knew his name. Doom was right, he was still young, impetuous, and driven by emotion. Not that Doom could talk about emotions! He looked at Razor before nodding and walking outside behind Ziggy, ignoring the people inside. As she sat down, he kneeled down in front of her, seeing the stress and strain he sighed.

"Zigs, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have rushed it. I was just really glad to see you again." Her words cut and he looked towards the restaurant where the other guy was. Was he meeting her here? Had she moved on? Was it really moving on if she didn't remember him? But right now, was not the time for that, it was about Ziggy's memories not his emotions.

He laid a hand on her shoulder before standing up and walking inside. She said his name was Razor, sure why not.

"Hey, Ziggy said she needed your help as well." He tried to hide the slight jealousness in his voice, turning back around and walking outside again.

He took his kneeling position in front of her once more, there were ways he could help her, but he wanted her to try first.
