Alex walked down the street, happy that for the first time in a while, he could walk in the open freely again. <Maybe that's the only positive thing about this whole mess...> he thought. <But I'm gonna have to give it up at some point. I will get out of here, eventually...>
It was at that point that his ears pricked up. Far down the road, in an alleyway branching off, he could hear what was a much larger man mugging a woman. He sighed. <Damn, you'd think they'd wanna at least try and follow the law, considering the possible alternative,> he thought.
Moving quietly down the street, Alex walked quickly until he arrived at the building forming half the alley. Alex leapt onto the wall, and quickly climbed up it. He slowly moved around the corner so that he was above the man on the opposite wall. Alex twisted and leapt down onto the man, knocking him over and away from the victim.
Alex snarled as whipped out the gun and pistol whipped the man across the face. Thankfully, this was enough to knock out this lesser. <Good thing he didn't have some sort of extra strength power...> he sighed in relief. As he stood up, he turned and began, "Are you-" He saw the woman hurriedly running down the alley away, not looking back. "Some thanks I get," he muttered

Hannah jumped from roof top to roof top in her old supersuit, feeling free with each breath of wind that passed by her. She had been in the city a week now, and despite the hint of claustrophobia that made Wolfy howl with rage, she was starting to feel... okay. Not the same good feeling she had back in her old town, but not the terrible, twisted feeling of imprisonment she had felt when she'd first gotten here.
"Some thanks I get..."
That voice.
It was so familiar, it totally broke her concentration and she let out a little squeak; she wasn't going to make this jump. All she could do was reach for the ledge of the next roof, hoping to whatever that she could at least grab hold before the man with the gun spotted her. She couldn't even make that, she was so shaken, and she ended up landing on her back infront of him with a WUMPH.
"Ow..."

Alex heard a whoosh overhead, and jumped back when the person landed right in front of him on their back. He was so shocked and unprepared, he stumbled backwards and had to hold onto the nearby dumpster to keep himself from loosing his balance completely.
"Ow..."
Alex instantly recognized that voice, and a quick glance confirmed what he thought. He rushed over and hugged her. "Hannah!" he exclaimed. "My god, I thought I'd never see you again. Me and Nichole were really, really worried. We weren't sure... Well, at least now I know what happened to ya..." He stood back a little and held out a hand to help her up.

Hannah let out another small squeak as he hugged her, but this one was full of untainted joy. Alex was here! Yes, she supposed it was bad that here was... here, but she had him back, and at the moment that was all that mattered to her. She grinned up at him as he held out his hand, then took it, pulling herself up then hugging him tight again.
"Alex!" she said, resting her head on his chest. She didn't want to let him go... not just yet. "I... I thought I'd never see you again, Alex... I was so scared, you can't even imagine." The girl pulled back just enough to look at his face, to attempt to see why he had been put here, too. It wasn't that hard to figure out... But oddly enough, she wasn't that mortified about it. In fact, her tail couldn't help but give a little wag, and her own ears couldn't help but perk up a bit. It was sort of like they matched now.

"Alex! I... I thought I'd never see you again, Alex... I was so scared, you can't even imagine."
Alex smiled. "Don't worry, ya don't have to be scared anymore," he said softly. He gave her a tail wag in response, chuckling a little. "I had a little run in with a scientist since we last saw each other. Not to worry though, it just means I can climb walls." He held her hand up to his and said, "All you have to do is get a little more wolfy and you'll match my hands too."
"So, did you find Ty at all?" he asked cautiously. He knew Hannah had initially retreated from him and Nichole because of Ty's disappearance, and he'd always suspected Ty had been a Lesser. But he and Nichole hadn't been entirely sure.

Hannah gave him a soft smile in return, morphing her hands just enough so that they were somewhat like his, just to show him that she could now. It just felt... nice, to see him again. Be close to him again...
She always had felt like this around him, she realized. But she'd only just figured that out.
"So, did you find Ty at all?"
The girl nodded. "They put you in a house that mirrors where you used to live," she said. "So when I woke up here, I was in a replica of my mansion. And of course, Ty was there, too... He got injected with a snake serum before he was taken, Alex. That's why I isolated myself... I didn't wanna be taken, too."

Alex nodded. "Me and Nichole figured as much. We just really, really missed you, y'know? Fighting crime just wasn't the same without you," he commented. "And we worried about you. I mean, we knew the government was after Lessers at that point, and I can't tell you how many times Nichole or I would go looking for you in hopes of checking up on ya..."
"I wonder how Nichole's holding up..." he trailed off. Then he remembered his hand was still up against Hannah's, and he saw she had morphed it a little to match his. He had to chuckle at that. Still, he wondered about Nichole. <She doesn't know if they found me or I'm in hiding either,> he thought.

Hannah frowned slightly, leaning her weight into him. "You guys went looking for me?" she murmured as she closed her fingers around his. "I thought, after isolating myself like that... I thought you would hate me or something. I mean, especially..."
The girl licked her lips, trying to read his face as best she could. Her ears swiveled backwards, pinning against her head. "I dunno... It feels like I left things... a lot of things... unresolved, and... I didn't know if you-- by which I mean you-- would forgive me for that. In fact... I think one of my worst fears was that you wouldn't." Hannah nearly blanched; she'd said a bit too much, and she was stuttering badly. He'd probably laugh at her for it. Her brain was even refusing to admit that this was Alex, and he would never laugh at her for something like that.

"I dunno... It feels like I left things... a lot of things... unresolved, and... I didn't know if you-- by which I mean you-- would forgive me for that. In fact... I think one of my worst fears was that you wouldn't."
Alex could tell by her stuttering this was sensitive, and he knew from the tension that had existed prior to her disappearance what had been going on. Alex could see her ears pin back against her head, and thoughts swirled around his mind. <What do I do?> he thought. <I... What do I say? >
He looked at Hannah for a moment, and his mind, realizing what was about to happen, protested. <No. No no no!> he began to think. But Alex couldn't override this impulse. He smiled and said, "I know. And my biggest fear was that I'd never get to tell you what I wanted to say. But now that we're stuck here for God-knows how long, I think this is the best time to tell you."
Alex hesitated for a moment, his mind fighting his impulse, and then he leaned in close and kissed her.

Hannah was somewhat afraid at first; he was so silent. But after a moment, he started to speak... and her heart couldn't help but speed up just a little. Well, a bit more then a little. She was almost embarrassed when she realized that now he could hear her heartbeat; she could most certainly hear his.
She anticipated the kiss and gave in to it, bringing both her arms upwards and wrapping them around his neck so she could hold him closer. It was as if every nerve in her body was on fire, but it wasn't a painful fire. It was a good fire; a very nice fire. And she didn't want to let it go, not for a single second.

Alex felt her acceptance, her wanting to be closer. It filled him with a sort of relief, and he held her as close as he could. For the first time in a long time, he felt at peace. And all he could do is kiss her back, because it was just that that had made him whole, finally.
Alex's tail came around and took Hannah's in his. He just knew that this was the best thing that had happened to him in a long time. Gone were the restrictions, the awkwardness; now he really could just tell her what he'd felt, and her acceptance made the moment even more perfect.

Hannah had been trying very hard to keep her tail from wagging like a dog that had just been presented with a steak, and mentally thanked Alex for the bit of unknowing help when he took it in his. She smiled in the kiss, one ear flicking forwards just to hear the sound of him.
After a minute she pulled back ever so slightly for air, tracing her fingers gently down his jawline. "Y'know, I've been waiting for you to do that for a long time," she murmured teasingly. "God knows I've been too gutless to..."

"Y'know, I've been waiting for you to do that for a long time. God knows I've been too gutless to..."
Alex smiled, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. "I can't even begin to tell you how many times I tried to," he chuckled. "Something always seemed to get in the way, distract me, dishearten me... Its kinda funny, all it took was a tail and some huge ears to give me that extra courage, eh?"
"I'm just glad you have been waiting," he continued. "Because when you wait for rain through a drought, when it finally comes it tastes oh so much sweeter." He kissed her again, with a short and sweet kiss, and pulled back slightly, smiling.

Hannah let out a murr, a thrill going through her body as he kissed her again. "True say," she said, giving him a wink. She ran her fingers down his jaw again. Everything felt... complete again. Like she'd never been abducted and taken here, like they'd never been separated... As if everything was how it was supposed to be.
The girl's silver eyes had shifted to gold, but not out of anger or upset or any of the usual reasons. Her emotions were high, yes, but they were the happy sort, not the angry. Which was... wonderful. That had never happened to her before.
"I like the ears, though," she murmured, smiling. "They fit you, I think... 'sides, you're not bothered by mine, are you?" Hannah thought for a moment, looking at them, then a devilish look came over her face. She blew in his left ear gently, knowing the reaction it would make, and grinned toothily.

"I like the ears, though. They fit you, I think... 'sides, you're not bothered by mine, are you?"
Alex chuckled at Hannah's comment. "I guess you could say they do," he conceded. "And of course I'm not bothered by yours. I always thought they were you, and your tail too. They've just always sorta been part of who you are to me."
Just then, Hannah blew into his large left ear, and all of a sudden Alex was now really, really flustered. He was confused and just altogether sorta out of it, and he said, "What?.... What? What did you...?"
