It didn't take Jade long to pick out an apartment to claim as hers in the complex that Porsha owned. It was one of the few empty ones that was still close to the MMA fighter's own and, in truth, the pale haired woman had picked it for that exact reason. Getting settled in was a different story, especially when she had to spend a few days picking out furniture and convincing various people to help her arrange and build all of it.
In the end, the apartment was furnished comfortably even if it was a bit sparse at the moment. Her bedroom consisted of one queen-sized bed, a night stand, and a matching dresser. Her living space had a black couch and a projector mounted to the ceiling because she felt like it was better to watch shows and movies on a bigger screen, especially when she had company over. There was a bookshelf tucked into the corner lined with book, the middle shelf decorated with various props from old theater productions she'd been in along with a family photo right in the center.
In the kitchen, the necessities could be found scattered across the counter space, along with half a dozen coffee cups.
It was still early, even if sunlight tried to slip through the cracks in the blinds, and Jade was curled up in a ball beneath her blankets with a pillow effectively covering her face and blocking the sun. As far as she was concerned, it was way too early to even consider dragging herself out of bed.Beejoux sleepy head needs a wake up caaaaalll

It had been almost a week, and there had been no word from Slate, no sign of him, nothing. A day, a couple of days, and that would have been acceptable. Things came up, people crashed in different places. But he wasn't answering the phone, and Shale hadn't heard from him either. He wasn't at any of the usual haunts Porsha knew to look. Compounding the issue entirely, was the reports coming in of other missing agents and corrupts. It was enough to make the brawler frantic. That had meant every evening was spent in a hectic combination of city wide search, and basic training for her newest recruit. (Because there was no way in hell she was going to risk Marcalite as well.) Needless to say, Porsha was running on empty as the end of the week crept into view. She hadn't been taking her morning runs, mostly because she wasn't getting enough sleep in an empty bed. Hoping, uselessly, that the corrupt would simply show up one night. He didn't. So, sleep deprived and strained, the fighter had made it a quick habit to vacate her apartment come morning, and head over to Jade's. Slipping in silently so she could creep back to the bedroom and crawl into bed with the other woman. And this morning was no different. Boy shorts, a t-shirt hanging off one shoulder, Porsha drew back the blanket so she could slip in behind the blonde and curl along her back.

Of course things went to s**t right after her recruitment, but Jade bounced back easily, choosing not to stress out over things that she couldn't control if she could help it. But Porsha had been frantic - dragging her along when she patrolled, searched, and subjected her to training. The entertainer couldn't complain, she enjoyed her general's presence but it was hard to watch her worry in any capacity.
She knew the smaller woman was worried that she'd go missing too, so she always made sure her door was open and that Po knew when she was home. If she needed company, Jade was always willing to provide it as long as she wasn't caught up in her marketing promotional appearances since she'd signed the agreement with Levi just days before she met the purple haired woman.
She felt the bed dip, covers pulled off her briefly, exposing her bare shoulders and side from where her tanktop had ridden up. She too slept in shorts, opting for a pair that had the captain america symbol plastered all over it. Sleepily she turned, grumbling beneath the pillow before pulling her head free, hair sticking up in all directions.
"Po...?" She mumbled groggily, shifting closer to the body that'd joined her. She threw and arm across the woman's torso and snuggled her face again the exposed shoulder. "Still no Slate?"

There was a sleepy, non-committal sort of a greeting from the smaller woman as she lifted an arm to let Jade snuggle in close to her, cheek coming to rest against silvery blonde hair. It was probably obvious, by her behavior, that Slate hadn't turned up yet, but she answered anyways, more a sound than actual words as she looped an arm around the other girl's shoulder. It was odd, maybe, how quickly she'd grown this comfortable with Jade. Or maybe it wasn't. She'd always been something of an affectionate person. A little sleazy. This wasn't so different, and besides, they shared something of a bond. From the moment she'd saved the entertainer from that mistaken senshi. From the moment her hand and sunk into that thin chest and wrapped around Jade's starseed. "How are you adjusting?" She asked it often, worried about her new lieutenant as well as her missing corrupt. Juggling everything along with her own personal life.

It'd been routine, Jade had come to realize, for Porsha to show up in her apartment and crawl into bed with her ever since Slate hadn't come home. It'd been easy to adjust to, just like it'd been surprisingly easy to adjust to her new life as one of the negaverse. It helped that she had a good mentor, one that she felt comfortable around and like, as both a person and the general she reported to.
It was simple to the woman, if she liked someone in any capacity then she wanted to keep them close.
She was a woman of casual affection; hands pressed to the small of someone's back, a light touch on the shoulder, a fierce hug when needed, and cuddling, Jade was all about the cuddling. It helped, that Po seemed to be very interested in cuddling too.
"Good, I think," she hummed, pulling the smaller woman closer. "It helps that I've got you."

Wandering hands moved in restless circles, shoulder, arms, back, and up again. A slow, endless cycle that Porsha didn't even seem aware of. Nails tickling gently against pale skin where it was exposed. "Good, I'm glad." And sorry. "I know things have been a little crazy, I promise they'll settle down soon." Though I don't know how I'm going to make that promise a reality. They would find him soon, they would punish the guilty parties, and life would return to normal. It would. A small sigh escaped her as she was drawn in closer, and as much as the fighter was, more or less, in charge, she did appreciate the thoughtful affection Jade had been raining down on her for the last week. She smiled softly, returning the affectionate squeeze. "I'm not going anywhere, and neither are you. I'll always be here for you."

Affection was easy between them and Jade found herself nuzzling into the warm skin of the other woman's collarbone. "Iss okay," she slurred, because it was. She didn't fault Porsha for the sudden turn of events, things happened and this had been out of their control. The best she could do was support her new friend and expect support in return.
"Life's a wild ride."
She pulled back enough to sit up slightly so she could search her companion's face. "Hey," she said solidly, sleepiness no longer clouding her face, those blue eyes bright and aware, "don't worry. I'm not gonna leave you alone okay?" Her mouth twisted into a bright smile and she ducked forward, placing a playful kiss on the tip of Porsha's nose.
"Don't worry, you've got me. I'm not going anywhere." She knew it wasn't something she could guarantee, but if Jade had it her way then it was a promise she was hellbent on keeping. "We're gonna find him, we'll deal with the assholes that took him and then, we'll have some sort of celebratory night. Movies and a bunch of cuddling or something. Does that sound good?"

Life was, indeed, a wild ride. That was something Porsha could easily agree do. Their lives in particular were crazier still. The fighter gave a soft hum of acknowledgment, head turning just enough so she could bury her face in silvery hair. Her shampoo smelled vaguely fruity, and possibly salon bought--expensive. Porsha liked it. It was like Shale's unruly ponytail, or Slate's braid. (Alois' cigarettes mingling with the leather of his jacket.) A comforting scent that brought a measure of peace. The sort of scent that symbolized...home. Just how many instant connections can I make? Did it matter. Silver eyes opened as Jade moved to lean over her, and Porsga couldn't help a small smile at the kiss. "I'll hold you to that." They'd have to go over the data as soon, so she could point out those senshi and knights that were to be avoided at all costs. The very thought of Marcesite running into Thraen...it made her blood cool in her veins.

If Porsha had told Jade that she smelled like home, she probably would've blushed, then tug at one of those long clusters of purple hair that she wanted to spend hours pulling her fingers through and make up some silly comeback. Or just blush indefinitely, maybe bury her face in a pillow and refuse to look at the other woman. As bold as the silver-haired fox could be, sometimes simple comments like that would get the better of her.
"Good, because I expect nothing less," she proclaimed, grinning brightly before dipping her head back down and pressing her nose against the soft skin of Porsha's neck and nuzzling her slightly.
"You're like one of the brightest stars I've ever seen," she mumbled against bare skin, "I'd be mighty disappointed if you were just passing by." Her voice got soft, quiet like she was embarrassed by the admission. Sure, they hadn't known each other long, but Jade was determined to keep Ms. Porsha Webber in her orbit as long as possible. "I kinda wanna think you've sucked me into your gravitational pull. Not going anywhere unless you tell me otherwise."

Had Porsha known that she would have been sorely tempted to mention it allowed, just to see the scarlet flush of color across the pale woman's face. It was one of her crueler traits, the need to push buttons, but she'd insist it came from a place of love. At least where certain people were concerned. A rush of goosebumps spread along the fighter's arms as Jade nuzzles into her neck, breath tickling, and hands settled automatically on the taller girl's hips, eyes closing easily as she ripped her head just enough to feel pale waves against her cheek. Jade was something of a beauty, and a bit of an Internet sensation, but somehow she retained that innocent charm of someone that just didn't realize how they could effect another person. It was both endearing and a little infuriating. The admission really didn't help things, nor the soft rush of breath against her neck. Po shivered, a soft chuckle leaking out as she squirmed beneath her, and after a moment she had to duck her head, nudging Jade with her nose until she could coax her up from the sensitive skin at her neck. "I'm not going anywhere, and neither are you." Shed keep Jade for as long as she could, as long as the pale woman allowed her to. Smiling, the fighter lifted her head to lay a kiss on a softly flushed cheek. Then a little further down, claiming Jades lips in a chaste kiss.

Perhaps it was naivety that made Jade oblivious to the way she effected others. Even with her internet fame, she was still perpetually surprised by the number of watchers and subscribers she had or the amount of positive feedback she got on a semi-regular basis. She was simply a woman comfortable in who she was who enjoyed people.
She never stopped to examine it and perhaps that was why she seemed innocently blind to what she did to other people.
"Okay Po," she mumbled happily against the woman's throat. It was that simple to her, that easy for her to agree because the purple-haired woman was warm and welcoming, everything she could've ever wanted in a new companion. Besides - being able to snuggle so easily, openly, was something the silver-haired woman enjoyed immensely.
Her head lifted as Porsha nosed her upward a happy hum leaving her mouth when she was kissed on the cheek, then softly on the lips. She blinked, blue eyes wide in surprise before her lips curled upward in a large grin. "If kisses are gonna make you feel better, you know I'm all for it Porsha," she cooed dipping her head down to kiss the woman a bit forcefully.

Perhaps not better, but the physical attention would provide the sort of distraction the fighter needed to keep from falling into full blown panic over the missing agents. It would help to slow her down, let her think, function efficiently. As a general, as someone people depended on, that was important. Age couldn't afford to let herself fall to her own personal worries. So when Jade grinned down at her she returned that smile, lips parting eagerly as that soft weight settled against her mouth. Hands a gentle cradle for pale cheeks. Jade was a lucky find, but hadn't most of her recruits been? At least all her more recent ones? Wonderful assets in their own way. Valuable, each one. Her team was growing, getting stronger. By her hand and their ambition, she would make them something to be feared, to be admired and envied. They would be great. They just had to find their missing piece, and bring him back.
