Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tired blue eyes stared blankly up to what was essentially the negaverse boarding complex. It seemed like forever since he had been here but it was the only place Piper had to call home now. Parking the motorcycle he had borrowed from a guy out south the man stepped off, pulling a dirty and worn shoulder bag up and over shoulder. Moving into the building and looking rather clean in a set of dark denim jeans, sunglasses and black tank top, despite the bag and stubble upon his face.

Piper was tired and stiff from traveling which made for a slow shuffle down the hall. A deep breath was taken as he looked to a familiar door, thank god it wasn't opened or opening at the moment. Porsche. She'd come later but for now he really had to piss and get something to eat though doubted the food or anything in the apartment had lasted for as long as he had been gone. Banking on canned goods he pushed the glasses up into his hair and started to fish for his keys with a set of wrapped knuckles.

"C'mon ....where yew son bitches at...."

Oh hell.

Piper turned slowly, slightly from upper body to peer at the woman he'd left without so much an answer why. She looked good as usual this very well noted as stormy eyes ran over her form shamelessly. While the body was bitchin the tone was more so, he made no mistake thinking that the sugar to her tone was real.

Sweet'n low more like it.

This was bound to make him sick and not in the good way. A grin planted firmly on face and stiffened shoulders rolled out with a pop. Piper had packed on some muscle since their last meeting this shown as arms stretched above his head to hold and pop more of his arm out. Limbering up, readying himself as she approached.

With each step the grin got wider until it was taking up nearly all the mans face. As Po leaned against the door frame his eyes landed back to hers, twinkling in clear mischief, "d'aww boss...m'dayum lucky, but ya better be careful on givin me special treatment." Amused he pulled the keys up, pushed them into the lock and on a click of teeth pushed the door open. "Wanna ave a welcome back party with some cream corn baby?" It was likely all that had survived again and his half a** attempt at offering a talk.

The arch of brow brought a lift of lips pulling them tight at the corners for a hard smirk. At least some part of this scolding would be amusing. Piper had expected the violence so as soon as the door was shut it had been braced for. Only the moment of dancing around by Po had slightly softened body thankfully for he'd be in a lot more pain than he was as knees touched hardwood. "b***h!" The curse wasn't exactly directed at Po, though wasn't exactly not, it was just the first thing to snap to mind as pain set fire to nerves.

That feel good sensation taking over when hair pulled him close into the warmth of the woman's body. Leaning back into the tug Piper nuzzled kittenish to provoke more. Angled sharply it was a touch hard but he managed to continue the half-assed nuzzled. Only to pause as the touch came and narrowed pale eyes. Reasons raced with the question all placing the blame in others than himself.

Hadn't been told to really stay, hadn't been given actual jobs, Po knew his type she should have known after a few fights he would go slum around but she left him to his own devices anyways.

This was all her fault clearly.

And like hell he would ******** beg even with the cost being his life, which he had no doubt that Po would and could take.

Stupidly he grinned up charmingly to the general and gave her the best reason he could think up, "cause M'too dayum pretty." It would be a waste, clearly to kill him for that reason alone.

Piper knew exactly where he stood in the conversation at hand, as displeasing as it was to admit, he knew he was screwed. There were two ways about this death or more pain and while pain could be tolerated it was getting to that point. And getting past death, even if he wasn't scared to die there was still a lot the man planned to do before getting to that point. That alone was just enough to curb any smartass remarks that instantly touched the tip of tongue.

For the moment the man simply grinned up, said grin getting wider as words formed sentences then busted them into pieces he could use to stay alive. Staying strong under the stroking of knuckles that held that dark promise the man knew all to well, even smirking a bit more genuine under it. "Well sugga, M'here now." He growled sweetly up as her face drew closer, that temptation to bite those plump lips growing with every minute she lingered close.

Released Piper knew better than to move to much, but he did anyways. His head rolled to release some tension the sharp angle had gathered in neck and shoulders. When Po came in circle around him to stand blue eyes settled on the pretty face with a hint of dark amusement. The object title her words implied rubbed the man raw but it wasn't like it wasn't true. He knew. Didn't mean that it would be screamed from the mountain tops or even that he wouldn't take off more places but for now. Just for this Piper could play nice, "ye boss..I'no,,s'why m'here.." The words were cooed mischievously.

Piper caught the hand with a grain of salt, hitting the floor again from the force. "********.." The curse was a little inaudible due to the fact that it felt like his jaw had shattered. A deep chuckle rose out from where he was stretched upon floor and blues peeked up again, "ya gonna kiss all these bruises yer leavin?" That southern roll more muddled under the pain from mouth.

The foot hit arm and Piper grinned as best he could up through the pain. It sure felt like home he thought as the stormy gaze settled on Po's face. Piper chuckled tired fast from the long ride back, "s'et? ...I dunno..I respond well ta positive reinforcement..babe.." The man's head tipped down and lips moved to n** at the foot on arm. It took him a moment before he spoke again, restless, "..yew gonna keel me or what?" Piper wasn't so good at this begging for his life business.

"Mmmmmmmm baby jus lyke tha.." Piper crooned up as the foot dug into arm, enjoying the pain and pissing off his commanding officer. Damn those petite little feet were devilish though, a small wince rolled across face before Po decided to have some mercy on his wretched soul. As the woman took a step back Piper rolled over onto back and grinned up, flopping his arm around on the ground like a noodle to make sure it still worked.

Not today, well, it worked as he was still alive. In a bit of pain but alive.

A second to catch all the breath she'd knocked out of him and the man was sitting up in the floor. Preening like a pleased child as he listened to each degrading word of how ******** useless he was. Not that, you know, he didn't already know but it was nice to know he had been noticed for all his shortcomings.

A deep purr of a chuckle at the mention of talent and stormy eyes lifted with the first shot of interest in their reunion, "tha'so? Well..." Piper shifted to knees, crawling towards the insanely powerful woman with a look of sheer delight. Once within reach hands would lock around legs and head would press to them in a cat like nuzzle. A taunt of a purr and Piper offered in wild amusement, "mebe..yew should tell me...exactly how my talents could be useful so I aint such a big ******** up nomore?" Innuendo laced and ready to go the man had no shame in testing for dirty talk even after having the mud stomped out of him.

"Yes Ma'am.." The stormy eyed man cooed sweetly, being pulled down against plush lips. Taking them harder and nipping a bit at bottom lip. Chuckling softly a hand curled around the woman's waist. Pulling her close and walking her backwards if given she didn't put up a fight. There was the old spring bed Piper had in the corner and that was the target. "Ah'can do tha..promise." Piper grinned widely, lifting to toss the woman back towards the mattress. This much at least the man knew he could accomplish.
