Wait - Nah

"Wait hold up can you..." Zac started as the door opened.

Blackfire just turned around, gave another wave and said "Ciao" before stepping through the doorway. And it slammed closed before he could say another word to her. The human stood up from the bed and took a few steps towards the door before stopping.

“No…, I can’t keep doing this.” He thought.

Since waking up, he’d basically been playing catch up with Blackfire. Trying to keep up with her pace of things was going to burn himself out, more so now that she was super charged. She’d run circles around him, laughing all the way. It would do him no good to go running after her, trying to make her see sense or play her game.

The only way to deal with this was to get ahead of her.

Zac took a look around the room. His own gift had come with paper work, so Blackfire’s should have as well. There was a sheet, off to the side under some clothing she had tossed aside. The human moved the garments back to the closet, making sure to handle them carefully. He didn't want to have Blackfire yell at him about messing up her things, regardless of how uncaring her own actions towards them were. The lacy underwear was something to note though.

"Figured she'd be all thongs and leather." Zac noted as he put it away in one of the draws inside the closet, _"Looks a bit too... cute and frilly for her." _He figured he'd put the rest of the clothes away too, just to give himself some room.

That dealt with, he looked at the info that was with Blackfire's gift. It was something called 'Hyper Evolution', a small gem that was supposed to '**** the next stage of evolution' in a target. What did that even mean though? Zac knew of a few comics that dealt with that as an idea but it wasn't something he really had in-depth knowledge about. Even if he did, this was affecting Blackfire, some sort of alien royalty after all. What would 'evolution' look like to her race?

"I can't make heads or tails of this." Zac muttered as he scratched at his hairline.

The only thing that made sense was the increased power and stamina; very clear listed effects of the gem. He wasn't sure about the more attractiveness that was also listed, Blackfire was already one hell of a knock out. Without getting an appearance that wasn't even more of a porn star like body, Zac didn't know how much more attractive she could get. Maybe some mental nudge that drew people in or something. If that was the case, Blackfire might turn more heads than she intended to.

Zac weakly tossed the papers off to the side, the stack plopping down on the top of the desk. There was one other stack of papers to go over; the ones that came with that strange belt. He pulled the papers over to himself along with the belt. Perhaps this was something that could help.

Blackfire took long quick steps down the hallway, the sound of her boots echoing off the walls of metal. She was going to just blow this place, at least for now. She'd be back of course, it was better to a fall back point as a just in case. After all who'd think to look for her in a small cramped mining ship?

"Where are you going?" Came a voice as she passed a room.

Oh. Right. The little one. Blackfire paused for a moment, turning her head to the side just a bit as she observed the tiny human. What to do about her?

Well there wasn't much she could do. Anything particularly mean she could do would earn the ire of Zac, which if that bond was true, would put herself at risk. At the same time, the tiny girl was also much too young for any kind of fun or trouble she was looking to get into right now. That and Blackfire really didn't want to give of 'mom' vibes to any potential suitors. Earth wasn't the only planet to have a thing for 'milfs' but it wasn't a common thing to encounter.

"Oh I'm just going out. Get myself some air, burn some energy, that sort of thing." Blackfire answered with a wave before walking further down the hallway.

The main central hallway that went straight down the ship from port and starboard, which ended in an air lock entrance on both ends. Neither side was attached to the repair station the ship was currently parked in, so Blackfire could just exit out into the void and coast over to the main station. She'd be fine given her immunity to the dangers of the vacuum.

"Whatca gonna do?"

Blackfire's eye twitched as she turned around. Layla was poking her head around the entrance that lead to the kitchen area. There was a little shine in the tyke's eyes, probably due to her energetic wonder about this whole thing. Blackfire took a sharp intake of air as she closed her eyes.

"This little one is going to be just such a pain, isn't she?" Blackfire sighed to herself as she took a moment to adjust her jacket before opening her eyes to glare at the annoyance.

"I'm off to do things best left to professional villains or super powered beings...., not for the likes of you." Blackfire firmly said. Which made Layla just puff up her cheeks in annoyance. The alien just continued, "Look I don't have time to babysit you, and if you want to tell your dad on me, go for it. He already knows. Not like he can stop me anyway."

"No fair." Layla grumbled as she folded her arms, "I get a comic book mom and I get told to just sit in the kitchen all day."

"Ah well.... life is never fair. You'd do well to learn that." Blackfire sneered, before her smile faded and anger started to take it's place, "OH and I'm not your mom. You have one already so don't start thinking that way about me."

"Yeah.... have a mom. Right.... sure." the small blonde child said as she kicked her foot at the floor.

That.... wasn't the reaction Blackfire had expected. Still she wasn't here to play therapist to a little kid, she was here to burn some energy. Right?
