Static* on hold

La doueler exquise: The heart-wrenching pain of wanting someone you can’t have.

Karlee strucker was like a cat, in that  she spent majority of her waking hours hungry, sleepy and in constant need of affection. Today was no different, after Lauren's aid in her transformation Karlee pounced into the kitchen feeling beautiful. The feeling was short lived, what good was stylish hair when the guy she loved was huddled up on the kitchen counter with some other girl?
She scoffed, the harsh breath that escaped her throat almost reminiscent of a hiss.
"So sleeping beauty finally escaped her tower." The voice beaming from the end of the kitchen counter belonged to the perky Sonya,who'd caught wind of Karlee from the corner of her eye.

Sonya's mid morning chirpness did nothing for the fire of jealousy deep in Karlee's bones but she gave the redhead a brief smile of recognition, that feel off her face as soon as her eyes meet John.

John swiftly pulled away from Sonya a movement that didn't go unnoticed by either female. Sonya's eyes darted between Karlee and John, in curiosity but then thought nothing of it. If there was something going on she would know.

Karlee stealthed over to the coffe pot giving the pair no more of her time.Sonya took advantage of this and  focused her attention on the box of honey cheerios to her right, sneakily dipping her hand in seeing as John's mind was clearly elsewhere.

"Morin?" John said testing the waters,  he knew Karlee was upset but he naively hoped it wasn't with him.
Karlee kept her back to him, she could bare to look his face and forced out a response " Good morning" but there was nothing good about her tone.

"Whats up with you?" Sonya said half out of concern, half out of courtsey.

As Sonya asked away, John above Karlee's head and took out a mug which he silently placed on the counter top.

So John hadn't told Sonya, why?
Karlee kept silent long enough for sonya to give up hope for a reply, returning her gaze to nutirion table on the cheerio box.

"Nothings up with me," she said finally  "It's  a shame I can't say the same about Clarice Ishe looked like she was out to kill earlier maybe you guys wanna deal with that" Karlee said snatching the mug off the side and then filling it up.Just like her the cofee was steaming and bitter. She knew she had no right to feel this way niether Sonya nor John owed her a thing.
"Um okay" John sighed, he hadn't expected Karlee to be so cold.
"You probably wont have to guess what its about" smirked bitterly at Sonya. Damn I'm Regina George level petty, she thought to herself.

"You saw her like that and you thought it best to leave her like that?!"

Who was he to get mad at her, to look at her like she was the dumbest girl to walk this earth.

"I specifically recall, telling both of you this whole memory implantation thing was wrong but what you to do is up to clearly. " Karlee snapped, she wasn't an angry girl but something about the look on John's face, the disappointment, made her break.

"I'm staying here and drinking my coffee." She said a sprinkle of salt in John's wounds, it was only fair he'd hurt her.

She wrapped her lips around her mug as if there wasn't a care in the world.

John rolled his eyes and walked out of the room Sonya tailing behind.

The handle gripped in Karlee's  hand, didn't stay there long before she chucked it across the room. A piercing shatter echoed as it hit the tiled floor and she knew John with his supersonic ears heard. It was sound he knew best to ignore.
"Shit"  Karlee cursed,  as she heard heavy foot steps pad into the room, if John saw her like pathetic and angry she had no chance.

"And I thought Lorna playing with knives was dangerous" Marcos commented.
Karlee smiled, if there was anyone she'd want to see her like this it was Marcos he never judged.

"What can I say headquarters is place  full of dangerous women."

"What's been going on with you Karlee, you've been sorter erratic since you've been back."

"You called me haywire for a reason." She joked not quite ready expose the mess in her head.

"Now, what's up with you and these 'supplies'." K

"Let's just leave it " Marcos said kicking the shards of ceramic with his foot.

"Good because I don't really care"  said with a smirk.

"Now there's the reason I missed you" Marcos pulled Karlee into a side hug.

"Really? Missed me you seemed anything but when I turned up." Karlee highlighted, it was true Sage and Marcos seemed anything but joyous to see her.

"Well, you hurt a lot of people when u left but we're beyond that now"

"Because John and Sonya are back together?"  She soon realised it was a mistake when Marcos looked at her dumbfounded.

"No, You  probably meant the whole refugee situation and the human-mutant war" she quickly corrected.

 
'Yeah, I meant the second one" Marcos reaffirmed he held his gaze on the girl a little longer. With everything going on Marcos hadn't concerned that Karlee still held a torch for John.

"Can we forget I even mentioned the first" Karlee said pulling away from Marcos in a panic.
"Look there's a lot going on whatever this thing with John is let it go."
O Marcos If I could I would

"Noted now can you get a dustpan, I don't want lorna around anymore sharp objects"
