The Kiss

As Sabrina sits on the exam table getting checked out by the doc, Paul is waiting outside the door watching nervously. Every few moments he looks down the hall to the waiting room where Quinn sits in the lounge, smoking. Speedy doesn't really notice when Firebrand slides down from the table, as he's distracted by MassMaster's altercation with one of the shift nurses. As such, he doesn't have his kinetic field up when Sabrina slaps him.

Paul: "Ow! What the?"

Sabrina: "That's for doing your voodoo on me behind my back during the fight! Who do you think you are? I couldn't even *move!* I felt like I had chains around my arms!!"

Paul: "I didn't do it! I don't know who did, but I'd ASSUME it was one of the bad guys. Truth be told, I didn't hit much of ANYBODY during the fight."

Sabrina: "It wasn't? Uh...uh...well, I'm sorry..."

Paul: "Yeah, well.."

Speedy digs his hands into his pockets.

Sabrina: "Then how did I end up behind the van when I woke up?"

Speedy stares at his feet. "Now that WAS me. I was kinda worried, and, well..." He trails off.

Sabrina: "That was you? You did that...for me?" She looks doe-eyed at him. "Thank you," she says softly.

Speedy blushes.

Paul: "T'weren't nothin'."

There's a long, nervous pause.

After that, she grabs Speedy by the lapels and kisses him, long and hard. By now, he's got his field up - he's not quite sure to expect from Sabrina. As she enters his personal space, it's almost like diving into a pool - some slight resistance accompanied by a tinlging sensation. Then she does that coy little skip-away that girls do when they flirt, looking back over her shoulder at him briefly as she goes...

As soon as she's out of sight, down the hall, Speedy slumps against the doorframe.

Paul: "Women... wow."

He shakes his head to clear it, and stubles off down the hall to find a snack machine.
