Jade never thought she'd admit it, but she'd missed her tiny little cave. In comparison to Nursary it was heavenly. No longer was she going to have mother poking and bugging her about Jinx. She didn't see how the kid needed her, yet they had done nothing but bother her about how she was caring for the boy.
She didn't think she'd done a bad job. Jinx was growing and healthy for a child who had been born a month ealier than schedule. And Jenner had been more than pleased to hear he'd produced another pure Darkline male. Everyone had gotten something out of it, and now she was done. So what was the problme?
"You can't leave after only three months," she muttered in a whiny manner. "The baby needs you."
Dammit, the child was able to suckle off of any mother who had milk. She wasn't a mother. She was an interigator. Jinx needed her about as much as he needed Jenner. So what if she'd insisted on leaving on three months instead of six. It hardly mattered.
Besides, she had another pup to see to, and there was no way she was going to miss training Jacket just to brest feed a child.
She ran a hand through her hair. It had gottne longer in her stay at the Nursary. She wondered if Jenner would like it. She hadn't seen him since she'd been thre months into the pregnancy and he'd almost dragged her to Nursary kicking and screaming. She'd only sent a runner to tell him the gender of Jinx, and that had been their only contact for a while.
She'd also gotten taller, and thinner. She'd refused to come back to the caves looking like a butterball turkey and done all she could to burn off the pregnancy weight she'd gottne, though her breasts had stayed the blasted annoying size bigger from the breast feeding. She supposed that wouldn't go away for a while.
Dropping her stuff off on her bed, she coughed from the dust. Shit, she guessed she'd have to cleaan again. Well, or she could force Jacket to do it.
Checking her watch, she sighed. She was due to pick him up in just a few minutes. Fugured the mothers would heckle her so much she'd have to rush to grab the pup.
"Screw it," she muttered as she left at a stroll. "He can wait."
Jade saw Racker, looking rather annoyed she noted, with a male dark male rat. She had to stop for a moment and look again to see if it was who she thought it was. She was honestly surprised by him and how much he'd changed in the time she'd been gone. The baby fat was gone, and he looked much stronger. Much more like Jenner's figure than she remembered.
"Racker," she said after she recomposed herself and walked up to the pair. "I'm here. The hens over at Nursary were a pian in the ass until the end."
"You're late." Racker growled cutting her off half way through her pathetic excuse. "You're trainee, Jacket. Hopefully you're in shape enough to train him." he grunted walking away from the pair.
Jacket smirked. "Worried you wouldn't make it Jade."
Jade rolled her eyes.
"Any time you want a real job instead of dealing with the snot nose brats then you can bitch about me being late prick," she snapped at Racker's back before turning to Jacket. "Get to the cave pup, now."
Jacket nooded again heading to the cave. "You look in better shape than I expected, I thought they might have had to tie you down to keep you in the nursary." His voice had dropped two whole notes. "I like your hair."
"They tried," she muttered. "I wasn't about to become some wheening bitch for the rest of the brat's life though. I have my field to get back to." The entered the cave and she pointed to his bunk. "Your bed, now unpack your stuff and put it in the locker cloest to your wall."
"you're better than that." he agreed, tossing his small pack onto his dusty bunk he unpacked quickly. "Do you want me to clean this place up before anything else... uhm.. would you rather Sir or Ma'am or miss?" he stumbled shutting the desinagted locker.
"I could give a mouse's ass what you call me Jacket," she muttered, her back to him. "You know my name, so use that."
She looked around and smirked.
"Clean up, and go eat something when you're done," she instructed him. "I know perfectly well Jenner has already covered the basics like boundaries with you, so I'm not wasting either of our time with that. I'll see you later in here afteer you eat. I'm going out."
She left before he could give her a responce, hiking her way up to the cave she'd been dying to see for a year now. Licking her lips, she leaned one shoulder against Jenner's cave enerance, arms crossed over her chest.
"Knock knock," she said into the cave.
Jacket blinked. Once he was sure she was out of ear shot he blew out a breath. "Wow.. did she turn into a bitch." He found the cleaning supplies. "I wonder if having pups does that to all woman?" he hummed getting to work to free the place of months of dust and dirt build up.
"Well well, the bitch is back." Jenner grinned. "Proven with a son I'm impressed. Here to gloat or fuck?" The dark rat strolled within arms reach.
"Both," she answered with a smirk. "I see you haven't changed. Still look the same, still act the same. Probably still take advantage of niave little girls." She pushed into him, nipping at his throat and sctually proud of her slightly larger breast pressed squarely into his chest. She was much happier now that she was taller and didn't have to crane her neck to look up at him anymore. "Too bad there aren't any here right now."
Jenner grinned down at her. "You've grown taller, nice breasts." His claws tussled her hair. "Looks nice."
He hummed at her nip, biting at her ear. "Niave little girl ran off with the delivery hrm? Well.. 9 months of no sex can be entertaining." He shoved her back turning around and headed into his cave.
"You want restraints on yourself? You'll rage, we both know that." He grinned pulling off his top and unbuckling his belt.
"Eleven months," she corrected as she watched him walk away from her and smirked. "Really, you should know by now I'm not that little girl anymore. And you should really know better than to turn you back on a Darkline."
She tackeled him, shoving him tot he ground and snapped her teeth close to her face.
"I've missed you," she said sweetly before kissing harshly, her hand grabbing his wrists to pin him down.
"See ya later Jenner," she said as she dressed then walked off, a grin on her lips. Oh boy, had she needed that.
Jacket looked up cleaning up from his meal and cleaning. "Jade, I checked messages, nothing today."
With a nod, she flopped back in her bed, grinning.
"You've gotten taller," she murmured. "More handsome too. Get any more polpular around here while I was gone?"
Jacket nodded. "Not exactly popular in the friends catagory. When you left they figured I was free game. I showed them." He smirked. "Tore off a couple ears and took out an eye.. it was intresting I like it." He shrugged.
"You got taller too.. look more like ahh a lady." He smirked.
Jade stretched in her bed, arching her back before relaxing and rolling over to face him.
"Thanks Jacket," she said. "So, tell me what exactly what you've been shown. I want to know what Jenner showed you already so we can work on what you really need. You know any tools yet?"
"He did the bounderies, the hand tools, he didn't trust me with guns." He thought for a moment. "Tieing someone up to a chair. I've only worked with trying up smaller victims than me." he looked at her. "Refreshing doesn't hurt either."
"I'll be sure to get you a victim or two to practice on," she said as she crossed her legs. "I'll want you to climb the wall too."
He turned his head away not even close to thrilled on that since the last time and what had happened to him. "Will Jenner bet here?" He asked finally picking his teeth with his claw. trying not to look worried.
"No," she statted with a yawn. "I'll be the one training you, and only me. He may visit me in the evenings every once in a while, but that's about it." She looked at him curiously. "I take it he's still been horrible to you?"
Sighing he layed on his bunk. "He missed you a lot, tormenting me was just his way of fun...bringing me to a full onset of rage was stress relife for him." He shrugged.
"I missed you as someone to talk to and play with and... well.. train with."
"He missed me that much?" she wondered, smirking at him him. "Play with? In what way?"
Frowning he looked at her. She had changed, a lot.
"The sex was nice.." He admitted. "..but that wasn't all. You've always played.. either teased or taunted me but it was still... " He shrugged unsure what he even meant.
"I'm just glad your home Jade. I am." Roling over on his back he stared at the dusted celing not a cobweb in sight.
Smiling, she slipped out of her bed and crept onto his.
"I missed you too," she said as she stroked his stomach with her hands and snuggled in with him.
Jacket raised a brow at her and smiled lightly putting an arm around her. "Good, I'd hate to think you just thought of me as a job to do because I would've gotten someone else as a trainer and you'd be stuck with some cull of a rat not even of the darkline blood."
He turned his head a bit. "The old restraints you have here don't fit me anymore either."
She kissed him.
"You don't deserve some asshole who doesn't know what he's doing," she muttered then regarded him. "How's Nega, by the way?"
Jacket nodded. "No I deserve the best, like you.." He swallowed hard at her name.
"I don't know. Okay I guess. She has a trainee. I don't talk to her anymore." he sighed.
She continued to stroke at his stomach.
"That's probably for the best," she murmured. "She wasn't good for you anyway."
She nuzzled his neck.
"I have some new ones in my bag."
"yeah." He frowned watching Jades' hand.
"She's.. a bitch anyways." he said softly appeasing Jade was more important than telling her his true feelings towards the runty rat. "Would never have worked, being so small I bet I woulda killed her before I even hit a rage peak." he chuckled.
"New ones? I hope their stronger than the last ones. I'm stronger now too." He licked her muzzle. "Training purposes right?"
"I missed you as well as Jenner, you know," she said as she got up and riffled through her bag. She pulled a couple silk ropes along with some handcuffs and smiled at him. "You still love her, don't you baby?" She sat down on the bed and shook her head. "It's okay Jacket, I don't care. I mean, I love Jenner. This is as a big sister and a trainer, that's all."
Arbiter
Jacket stood quietly whie Racker as the other trainees were brought to the trainers. He waited getting worried that he was going to be given to someone other than Jade. He haden't seen her for the past week, he hoped that she was going to train him. Being the last one left Racker looked at him with a scrowl.
"You're trainers late." He told the pup. "I'll have a runner send for another interogator if she doesn't show in the next few minutes."
Jacket nodded glancing at the ground.
"There are three things you can count on...."
"Your brains, your bros, and your bikes?" Vandal asked.
"No, Hunger, Thirst, and never a bathroom when you need it." Jacket grumbled.
