With every step Zak took, ice formed under his feet; the clear blue mixing with the black smoke of Zak's darker powers. His eyes never moved from Nova's and he snapped his wrist, freezing the doors shut before Nova could reach them.

Why do I have to come in here rampaging? Could be because I'm starved and drinking the blood of a Siren to sickly sweet and I wanted something better...then I remembered how you, the biggest whore in space, was verbally attacking my sister. Yes, I call her a whore and a few other choice names but the fight is between her and I and it would be best if you kept out of it.

Zak's hand shot out and gripped Nova's left arm, pulling him back and forcing him into the wall. The sound of a bone snapping reached Zak's ears but he didn't loosen his grip.

Seeing Mandii did nothing, triggered nothing. When I asked you to marry me, I wasn't asking just for shits and giggles. I asked because I want to spend every bloody moment on this Earth knowing that you...YOU are the only reason why I'm even still on this bloody planet.

Zak's red eyes searched Nova's golden ones as he pressed the alien into the wall, his eyes confused at the flashes of pain in his lover's eyes.

The only thing I took from my sister were the cuffs my father made for me. They are meant to keep my abilities at a controllable level. She refused to give them to me so I took them. I didn't want to have to worry about you if you had managed to get hurt and don't give me that crap about how you would have been able to phase in and out and that you wouldn't have gotten hurt!

A hiss escaped Zak's throat as he tried moving his taped down arm, the muscles in his chest forcing him to drop his arm and shake for a minute.
