Netsuke memento mori - Science Museum, London

"My senses are sharp, I hunt those that hunt us. Yet when I'm in her world, she's all I can hear, all I can smell, I taste her in every breeze, and ache for the feel of her hands on mine."

This is where we hunt hunters.

After dark by Patryk Babski - Where do you go when you’re lonely?

He grins at the two Poppies and grips her hand. "I'd love to see something new! Show me what you've got, sweetie."

He's looking forward to exploring the Haven from her perspective. He's rarely seen it casually and is thoroughly enjoying her excitement. It's terribly infectious.

She's a little embarrassed, standing there in her little pink dress in front of the other Poppies outside of decon. They know who she's waiting for and send her secret smiles and whispers of encouragement, but her heart pounds anyway. Amazing that someone who can comb the multiverse saving so many people would have such a hard time meeting their own boyfriend for a date at the Haven. Proxima fusses with her skirt to give her hands something to do while she waits for him to arrive.

He steps out the shadows in the decon room and into the light for the decon process. It takes a second try to get his passcode right and he's pretty sure he can hear the Poppy giggling. *So much for flying under the radar tonight.* He slips his sunglasses on as the door opens and his eyes adjust to the Haven's light. He sees her standing there in a cute little pink dress and something happens that hasn't happened since his powers awakened years ago.

He trips. On his own feet. Or the ground. Who knows. Muscle memory kicks in and his powers catch him before he hits the ground, levitating him just above the pavement. He rights himself and walks to his girlfriend, smiling awkwardly.

Here we go again.

how do you know you can trust summer at all

How do you know you can trust anyone? But the thing is, when you hunt monsters as long as I have you learn to tell who is and isn't. Some of us revel in darkness and some of us live there in order to safeguard the light. I know the difference. And she can be trusted. We trust each other with one of the most important things there is: the ability to pull the trigger if it needs to be done.

Sometimes, you get to see the world.
