The Men (and Women) of Death - AU Robert and Morgaine
"I'm going to tell him to let you go, in the morning." Robert says, stroking Morgan's hair as he lay next to her. The aftermath of their love making always found them more talkative than any other time they were together...unless they were arguing. They did a lot of that in the beginning, when she was trying to kill him. They did more when he tried to kill her in return.

The first time they made love, they'd talked more than ever.

"And he will let you go, Morgan, or I'll /make/ him let you go." Robert says.

"When he says yes, will you leave with me?" he asks.

	The look on her face was one of both puzzlement and shock. "You...you want me to be with you?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Yes. I want us to work together, to be together, to...do things together, if you'll let me." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She can't seem to understand why someone would actually want to be with her. "But...I tried to kill you. Several times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2011-06-30 03:34 am UTC (link)
	"You nearly did several times. Especially on that bridge. But I've never seen you fail to kill someone in all the time I've known you. Ask yourself: why didn't you finish the job?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've never really thought about it," Morgaine said. "Maybe it was because in some way...you reminded me of myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We have things in common, lots of things. Screwed childhoods, nightmares in parenting. We were both taught to kill as our primary method of dealing with things in life. We both had fathers who didn't take an interest in us." Robert says, still playing with her hair. "We have families that insane and forever intertwined now. Like I said, lots of stuff."

	There was a long silence before Morgaine spoke again. "Do you...love me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2011-06-30 03:50 am UTC (link)
	"Yes." He'd said the word without thinking. "Yes, I'm falling in love with you." Robert says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonchild 2011-06-30 03:52 am UTC (link)
	"I don't understand." She sat up, holding her knees. "I don't understand why you'd love me. No one's supposed to love me." Her voice was small, and there was a faint quiver in it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2011-06-30 04:02 am UTC (link)
	Her reaction shocks Robert. Had she really been told that. Yes, of course. Ra's al Ghul would do that. Robert wishes he'd killed Ra's too at this moment. "That is not true. You are supposed to be loved and cared for, Morgan. You're worthy of that...and if you let me, I'll do whatever I can to be worthy of that love." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No one has ever said that they loved me," Morgaine said, lying back next to him. "Except for Damien, but that's in the family sense." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In case you missed it...I love you, Morgan." he says, holding her close. "And when you become Lady Shiva, I'll love you then, too, if you let me." he says. "Now...will you leave with me in the morning?" he asks again, his tone somewhat pleading. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonchild 2011-06-30 02:55 pm UTC (link)
	"I love you, Robert Queen." The words sound strange on her tongue, but she finds she likes saying them. "Yes. Yes, I will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robert spoke with Damien, who eventually allowed Morgaine to go, thought not without money. Once they were on the plane, a private jet, Robert speaks. "My sources tell me that someone is claiming to be Lady Shiva reborn." he says, while reading the paper. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Morgaine's twitch was noticeable. "Who dares to do such a thing?" She demanded. "I'll cut them down where they stand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, I hear that this Shiva is holding a tournament for the world's greatest fighters next week. It's a month-long affair and...it's to the death. They're putting it all over YouTube and Facebook." he says.

"The winner gets to face Shiva in a fight to the death. I'm going to pose as a bettor and try to get more info on who this person is. The tournament is apparently all disciplines, too. I may call for some back-up. I think Rose will help us if I ask." Robert says.

"Do you want to do this, Morgan?" he asks.

	"That's the problem, love. People don't exactly think that far ahead." Robet tells her, patting her on the knee. "The tournament starts in Hong Kong tomorrow night. I figure once we land in Ho Chih Minh City, we can bed down and then go searching for information in the morning. What do you think?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"People are complete and utter morons," Morgaine said. "The lack of common sense is astounding." "That sounds like a good plan. Gives us time to establishes fake identities and whatnot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right, that works. Hey, I heard they have really good cheeseburgers in Hong Kong...and a chocolate store." Robert says, trying not to grin. It still shocks him how much she loves cheeseburgers and chocolate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cult leader." Robert says. "He could talk people into killing for him. Long story. And he let you go without a fight. He also let me leave in one piece. I thought he'd want to subtract something from me for convincing you to leave with me." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
