Clark and Karen | Continuation Thread

The problem with organized crime was that when a leader fell, all it did was create a power vacuum. Criminals were people as much as anyone else, and amongst them were people who wanted to climb to the top and others that desperately wanted someone to tell them what to do and how to succeed.

With the damage done by the Battle of New York and the 'war' that had been waged between the Devil of Hell's Kitchen and the now-unmasked Wilton Fisk, the field had been left ripe for the picking in more than one way and the cream of the crop of the organized crime syndicates had noticed.

Bruno Mannheim didn't even try to play the philanthropist. No, he was there for one reason and one reason only: easy pickings. And that was why it was getting increasingly dangerous out there for the uniformed crime fighters... and their non-uniformed vigilante assistants. Criminals with guns that reminded them more of the kind of weapons the Chitauri had brought with them. Criminals with allies in other towns, alibis in other places. Nasty on all levels.

Which was why Clark came home that night and headed for his laptop instead of his favorite book. It seemed this journalist was going to have some work cut out for him after all here in New York.

"I'm telling you, Clark. If I didn't want you to intrude, I would have told you to completely fuck off. I didn't, and doubt we would ever get that far in a fight," she said with a quiet sigh. Then she added,"the constant good angel on my shoulder can be grating, because all I want to do is to find oblivion. I know that is wrong, bad, everything in between. It's hard to get a grasp on, but I am also not asking you to change either."

She was snuggling, that was silent implication that whatever he wanted to do was a-okay.

"Sometimes there is nothing wrong with a bit of force, sometimes people can't get there on their own," she pointed out. "But if that is your way, I know there will be times we will butt heads, it'll happen," she said softly.

"No, not everyone, Clark. People are different," she said quietly.

She bobbed her head, licking over her lips a few times before she pressed them together. "Okay," she said in a shaky voice. Because she really wanted to believe that he would be there, but she would be okay if he didn't stay, because she was a train-wreck.

She followed his line of sight, and then sat back with a sigh. Turning to look at him with the smallest of smiles on her face, it wasn't an 'I'm all right' smile, but it was a smile for him. "Can we do both?"

Karen got comfortable as he put her down into the bed, and in what seemed like a flash, but it was only because he was quick, was he back in the bedroom with her food. This time she gave him a genuine smile, and nodded softly. "Thank you, for cooking, and being such a good friend," she said warmly.

[OOC did we wrap up the massage thread?]

She smiled, leaning in to kiss him on the cheek. "It's fine, and you do cook very well," she said warmly. Digging into the food with gusto. "Mmm, so damn good," she said around a forkful.

[OOC yes, I believe so.]

"You are amazing on a lot of fronts, I am not sure I deserve you sometimes," she said honestly.

"Right, maybe that's another thing we disagree on," because she felt she didn't deserve someone as good as him. "I am glad we found each other. He leaned in to kiss the corner of her lips, making Karen turn to catch his cheeks to place a proper kiss to his lips.

Smiling into that kiss, she made a happy sound against his mouth when he deepened that kiss, her hands going into his hair. Fisting it from the root, letting it slide through her fingers slowly.

She pulled back a little to lean her forehead against his own, panting slightly. She licked over her lips to chase the taste of him, her hands still playing with his hair.

Making sure she wasn't going to topple over her food, Karen slowly slid up so she could move to straddle his lap. Thighs hugging his sides, her hands moved up under his shirt over his belly. That kiss made her give a happy sound against his mouth, returning the kiss with the same sweetness, and heat.
