Kýojin winced slightly before he heard an inhalation and shifted his weight, firing a concentrated blast of crimson energy from his fist that slammed into Vertigo and drove her into the side of a parked car which almost immediately exploded in a fireball. "Sonic duplication... though I wonder how she managed to evade that blast," he said quietly. He winced slightly as there were now ugly second and third degree burns on his hand and wrist where the concussive energy had been pushed out of his body forcefully. He had checked and found the energy had a temperature intensity much like that of a surgical laser, though unlike a laser, he tended to push out a lot more power out since the concussive energy reacted much like firing controlled 'lasers' of concentrated energy out of his pores which tended to react explosively with the oxygen in the air. "This is better than when they first kicked in... but not by much," he said through gritted teeth. He had sensed Vertigo's life force snuff out when the car exploded and knew this time she was just as dead as her comrades.

"Who knows how she did," Rosalyn said with a small shrug once Jin had taken care of Vertigo. She took his hand back into her own. "Come on, let's get inside." She reached up and brushed some hair from his face. "They're gone and we are okay."

Kýojin tilted his head with a soft sigh. "I'm tired of all the death and pain. I refuse to even think of suicide, however. In my mind, it's the biggest sign of a weak spirit and weaker spine," he said quietly. He floated upward as he spoke, his eyes never leaving Rosalyn's.

"Someone told me that once before." Rosalyn said softly as she followed Jin. Her eyes stayed with his, never blinking as they rose together. They had fought together and kicked some major butt. It had been a long time since she had fought with anyone like this, with them having her back completely. "Death and pain will always be in our lives. That is the way of the world, but it will not always be so prominent in our lives. Right now we are just at a very rough point. It will die down soon enough."

Kýojin shrugged one shoulder. "People think that it's gentle and pleasant in life, but it rarely is. I'm one of the worst examples of 'gentle'... my idea of gentle is beating someone senseless," he muttered as they touched down on the roof not too far from the ramp they had come out of.

"But you can be gentle Jin," Rosalyn said as they landed on the roof near where they had come out earlier. "You are gentle with me." She smiled softly at him before looking towards the door. "Now how about we go back inside and go where we had planned on going before those people showed up."

Kýojin sighed, unsure how to interpret her words, but taking her hand regardless. "I'm not sure what you mean, but you know more of generosity and kindness than I do," he said quietly as they walked towards Rosalyn's room. He suspected that Rosalyn would realize that how he'd been since meeting her was quite different from his usual nature.

"Only because you have never really been shown generosity or kindness Jin. Stick with me and maybe I can help you learn." Rosalyn laced her fingers with Jin's as they walked towards her room. When she had escaped from her prison, she had vowed to not trust so easily. But with him...she found it hard not to trust him. There was just something about Jin that drew her to him. When they reached her room she pushed open the door and glanced over at him with a smile before stepping inside. As they had walked she had shed her protective skin and looked like her normal self again.

Kýojin cocked an eyebrow as Rosalyn stepped into her room. He only noticed upon looking in the nearby mirror that his own protective armor had receded, surprisingly without pain beyond the minor itch he was used to. He took a cautious breath, his gaze unconsciously flickering around the room with a momentary pause on the bathroom. He wasn't sure if Rosalyn would be repulsed by the scars on his body.

Rosalyn watched Jin silently for a moment as he looked around the room. To be honest she was nervous to have him in here. It had been way too long since she had any contact with anyone. "What's wrong Jin?" She finally asked softly. "You know you don't have to come with me. It won't hurt my feelings." She let go of his hand to brush her hand through her own hair as she let out a deep breath.

Kýojin blushed slightly as he ran one hand through his shaggy hair. "I guess I'm nervous, primarily because they always made sure I rarely if ever saw my counterpart and well... their idea of a bath wasn't pleasant," he said quietly. He knew that the other like him was a woman, though he didn't know her name nor where she was. He was sure she'd realize that he'd never had a 'normal' shower that so many took for granted, and never with someone as beautiful as Rosalyn.

Rosalyn smiled gently at Jin. "I understand Jin. I am nervous as well. I haven't had a shower with anyone in a long time. Not since right before Constance's father died." Her voice quavered slightly at the mention of her long dead husband. "But I promise you the showers you take here will be pleasant."

Kýojin shifted his weight, thinking and unaware that Rosalyn could hear his thoughts. "With a woman as beautiful as you... I have no doubt," he thought, unconsciously wondering why he even thought that since it implied that they'd likely do it more than once.

Rosalyn chuckled softly as she pulled him towards the bathroom. "There you go with the beautiful thing again. I am pleased that you think so much of me." She hadn't really realized that he had spoken in her head and that she communicated back the same way to him. As they entered the bathroom the shower immediately turned on so the water would begin to heat up.

Kýojin twitched, blinking a couple of times at the telepathic contact though he didn't mind it, strangely enough. He knew most telepaths he disliked heavily, yet he had the sense that with Rosalyn and those connected to her he wouldn't mind so much.
He cocked his head slightly, seeing the shower already running. "People underestimate abilities that are so simple... yet at the same time they're easy to abuse," he mused. He took a deep breath, unaware that icy mist trickled from his lips as he unconsciously let his body temperature drop to 88° as thin glowing 'veins' of crystalline blue energy flickered over his deeply tanned skin though they were most noticeable on his arms and shoulders. What was really noticeable, however, was that his irises shifted from a deep slate gray color to a glowing icy blue color.
