“No you didn’t” She stated with a sigh. Her and Jack were always strained, mainly because he was always trying to keep her out of the loop about things. She hated that. She got why he had done I t, but that didn’t mean she enjoyed it. She wanted in on things, she wanted to be trusted.
“Ill just worry about when im going to hear about you winding up dead instead” She stated flicking her gaze over towards him. She couldn’t continue living like that, wondering when she was going to hear the news she was dreading. Shaking her head ever so slightly she turned on the hob, letting the griddle heat up, before sticking her steak on top of it, leaving his to rest on the side for a moment. She never did enjoy her eat the way he did.
“I wouldn’t expect you to” She stated gently, “Im so tired of you walking in and out of my life. So if you’re here you’re staying” Shrugging a shoulder ever so slightly she smiled up at him. “We had so much and I want that again, but you need to be truthful at all times. I cant take you lying to me anyore”

"I never lied to you, just kept a few things away from you. But I get your point it won't happen again." He coughed slightly, "I think I'm going to take a seat..." he then wandered away from the kitchen to the living room. Slowly he eased himself onto the couch.

Faye let out a deep breath nodding her head slightly “Thank you” She muttered. With a smile she watched him leave before focusing on the task at hand. Preparing some decent grub. Finally putting his steak on the griddle she went about the rest of the food, toasting the bread lightly and adding all the stuff she knew he liked on top of it. When all was said and done she grabbed both plates and heading back to the living room.
“Here” She stated gently, offering him the plate before taking the seat next to him, curling her feet under her. “So your finally free huh” She rose a brow as she looked over at him, dark eyes twinkling “Now this im finally free isn’t going to end the way it did last time right, because I’ve finally gotten this place to feel like home”

Walter smiled and nibbled at the food, "Yeah this time, I'm done. The courts have the papers, the guys that want me dead sent their best and they cashed in their chips. My friends have my back now and my best interest at heart." He looked at her and rested his hand on her thigh, "And now, my best interest is all in you." He said something soft in his voice that hadn't been there in years. "And hopefully I can keep that this time."

Her dark gaze shifted over in his direction and she slowly nodded her head, “They should know better than to try and take you out” She muttered. She could still remember when she had been sure he had been dead, and he had turned up years later alive and kicking, just like he normally did. Her gaze lowered from his gaze down to the hand that was resting on her thigh. “You’ve always had me” She stated gently.
Turning her gaze to her own food she began eating quietly before looking over at him. “After this your gonna get some sleep the sheer look of you is making me exhausted” She stated with a laugh. Drawing her lower lip between her teeth she smiled, her hand lifting to press against his own, squeezing his hand slightly.

"For what it's worth, I'm sorry..." He whispered his smile fading and he withdrew his hand to work on his food slowly, the other hand resting limply in it's cast next to him. He looked broken on top of everything else, he felt as though the weight of everything he had done in life was finally taking it's toll on him. "My friend once said, you can't be jumping out of planes the rest of your life."

“Don’t be” She whispered just as softly. Shifting ever so slightly she watched him carefully. She had seen him beaten down so many times. She had seen him with pain in his eyes and darkness, she had seen him injured, but she hadn’t seen him like this for a long time, if ever.
“Smart friend” She stated returning to her food. Once finished she reached forward placing the plate on the wooden coffee table. Shifting on the sofa she moved until she was facing him. Shifting closer she smoothed a hand up his arm and around his neck, slowly easing her fingers into the tense muscles that she could reach.
“Do you want to talk about it?” She questioned gently, her brow raising ever so slightly, “Trust me, talking tends to help”

"Just getting older, understanding more of what I've done and seen the effects it has on other people. This last mission just cut too close to home. Karma for everything I've done I think." He finished his plate and leaned into her touch. "Thank you for giving me this chance. I won't blow it."

“You’ve been working close to home. You get to see first-hand how it affects people” She stated with a gentle smile crossing her lips. He was tired, right down to the bone, she could see it and hear it. She had never seen him like this before and that chilled her to the very core.
“You best not” her words were gentle as she looked over at him, pressing her body against his arm as she continued her soft movements. “Im glad you’re out, glad your free” Faye whispered leaning up ever so slightly so she was able to press a gentle kiss to his cheek. “Every time you pushed me away I was certain id finally find out about your death”
Easing of the sofa she reached forward, taking her own plate and his and heading in the direction of the kitchen “You want anything to drink?” She called over her shoulder.

"Water please." He sighed heavily and forced himself to get up, slowly he made his way to her side and wrapped an arm around her waist, he burried his face in her neck and gave it a soft kiss. "You still smell as good as you always have. I miss this." He smiled against her skin.

Heaving in a breath she let it out slowly as she felt his arm wrap around her waist. The feel of his lips pressing against her neck sending shock waves through her body. Shifting ever so slightly so she was able to better press herself against him, she smiled, her hand slowly easing down the side of his cheek. “Me to” She whispered softly. Licking her lips with a smile firmly across them.
“Did you ever think you’d find yourself back here?” She questioned gently as she slowly lead him to the kitchen so she was able to get them both a drink. Stepping over to the cupboards she grabbed a couple of glasses, while reaching into the fridge to pour the pair of them some water.

Walter looked her up and down, "Every night I'd have a dream that I was back here but I never thought it would actually happen, too much has happened and too many risks were involved with it. So I got better at what I did, faster and smarter then everyone else. Just in case I had the chance to come home, I knew what would happen if they booted me, you only leave these guys one of two ways. A bullet in your head or a blessing by them. This final job was my blessing I guess." His breath was waning with his energy, "Sorry, been a long day." He chuckled. His version of days always had been from sleep period to sleep period, 110 hours still counted as one day unless he got sleep.

Faye smile as she looked over at him, glad that he had wanted this from the moment he had left her, from the moment he had told her to go and not look back. “Well that’s the past” She muttered with a small shrug of her shoulder. The past didn’t matter, well that was a lie, it mattered because it made you who you were, but the rest of it? All those what if’s and regrets they didn’t mean anything because they were done and dusted.
“Bedrooms down the hall” She gestured with a smile, “Go lay down, get some sleep. Im going to hit the shower and ill join you” stepping closer to him she tip toed slightly, offering him a gentle kiss. “Im glad your back”

Walter smiled and pecked her on the lips briefly before hobbling towards the bathroom, "I need to grab some gauze before I try to sleep." He raised his injured hand, "Can you believe the doc's said for me to take it easy?" He chuckled half heartily and moved down the hallway. Before he moved into the bed he redressed his wounds and rolled into the bed in his boxers. Despite how comfortable the bed was he couldn't sleep. Too much was racing through his mind but he let it drown out to the sound of Faye in the shower.

She laughed gently “Clearly they didn’t know you, I don’t remember you ever taking it easy” She stated, with a laugh. He was just like that though, he was never one to kick back, even when he was kicking back he was always doing something. Heading into the bathroom she watched him leaving before stripping of and entering the shower, the warm water exactly what she needed. If she had thought she was going to find Joker at the end of the day, god she wouldn’t have believed it, at all.
Towel drying, she wrapped the soft fabric around her body and headed into the bedroom “Now why did I think you’d be awake?” She questioned raising a brow with a shake of her head. Damn typical. Heaving in a deep breath, she grabbed a spare towel of the vanity table, and eased onto the edge of the bed, rubbing the fabric through her hair.

"Because it's only been three days?" He chuckled softly and watched her, "Damn you're beautiful." He said lightly and rolled up on his elbow to kiss the back of her neck, "Tomorrow I'm going to start job hunting, my records are getting rewritten so I should exist again by tomorrow. New name though." He sighed and fell back onto the pillow with a plop.

Laughing gently she shook her head, eyes drifting closed at the feel of his lips against her neck, slowly she turned her head so she could look at him. “New name huh” She bit the inside of her lip. She’d take him anyway he came if it meant being with him again. Watching him for the moment her gaze trailed over his form, new scars and injuries met her sight and she closed her eyes for a moment slowly easing of the bed so she could change.
“Shouldn’t you rest up first?” She questioned gently as she eased herself back on the bed, one of her overly large shirts half covering her form.

'Eventually I'm sure I will nod off, right now I'm trying to get used to being back here. Not quite sure it isn't a dream...between the drug induced anesthesia and lack of any physical feeling, just kinda feel like I'm in a dream, ya know?" He shrugged and watched her, his eyes barely open. "Though I don't think it'll be much longer before I'm out."

Faye nodded her head ever so slightly as she watched him, “Yea” She muttered softly, slowly she eased herself down by his side, “Roll over onto your side” She urged gently. Biting the inside of her lip she slowly reached out, encircle his waist with one hand, her other hand working up and down his back, slowly smoothing over his form.
“Its not a dream” She whispered softly, easing forward until she could press herself against his form, and continue her delicate actions. “And ill still be here when you wake up” She promised, pressing a kiss to his back she settled in and continued her movements.

"Good," He said softly and let her hands relax him even more. Slowly he could feel her arms melting his knots away and very quickly he drifted off into a deep sleep, exhaustion and weariness taking their toll.
Hours later the smell of bacon, eggs, and fresh orange juice filled the house as Joker was at work making a large breakfast for Faye, he had to start the day out good and more so make good of his promise. He was going to make up for all the lost time and he was going to start now.
