Rm 217, Late Sunday night

[fantastic_torch]

Johnny came back to his room exhausted. Exhausted from handwavily fighting, and exhausted from trying to search for Savannah. After their argument things just went downhill for him and he wondered about their relationship. He'd probably been an ass but she was damn stubborn.

Peeling off his shirt, he grabbed a beer and sat down on the edge of the bed, reaching over to pet Destiny. 

He supposed Savannah would get back when she got back. And he would sit there and try not to worry.


[For the girl.]

She was exhausted and in pain and the last thing she had wanted was to fight with Johnny.

"And I'm a woman! A woman that can fight and doesn't let people see she's scared. I help take care of people who need it because that is what I do!"

"I get that, Savannah, I totally get that. But the worry it causes me is so hard to swallow, you know?"

"It's not exactly easy for me, either, Johnny. You don't think I get scared as hell when you're out fighting things and I don't know what's going on?"

"Yeah, but that's different. Nothing's ever happened to me."

"That's what they always say before they get taken away or die," she mumbled.

Johnny ran a hand back through his hair. "You've never lost me, not even for a little while." Because he considered when she was taken by the statues, it was she that left him.

Savannah had a good idea about what he was thinking about.

"You're never going to forgive me for that, are you?"

However, if she knew he thought of that as her leaving him...

He looked down. "I have forgiven you. I forgave you a long time ago. It's just that... it's hard to forget, you know? That terrible emptiness, the feeling useless to do anything, the wondering if you were ever going to come back to me." He paused, considered his words. "I know who you are and I know what you can do. It's in your nature to protect and help, just as it is mine. But damn if I can't help the way I feel."
