guardians } { of working together and test drives

[braveandstupid]

Elena: [so while they're floating out in space, their spaceship phone will start ringing and the radar will indicate that there's a ship in the area]

Ben: [and since he's taking a snooze in the cockpit, he will look over at the beeping. He wakes up and looks around the cockpit, trying to find the ship while he flips the switch for the speaker] Hello, you've reached the Guardians of the Galaxy. How may we save you?

Elena: The Guardians of the Galaxy? Is that really what you're going to go with?

Ben: It's a work in progress.

Elena: Uh-huh. [she smirks] I don't need saving but I could use a few extra hands if you're interested in a job.

Ben: As long as the job doesn't involve redeeming my head for a bounty. You know Dean called that off, right?

Elena: Yeah, don't worry. I'm not selling you out. We just need a little extra muscle.

Ben: Well, that I have with probably a good urge to hit people. What's the job?

Elena: Making a pick up and delivering it safely back to the owner on Xandar.

Ben: I take it someone doesn't want you getting that pick-up.

Elena: The pick up's on Zeldorn. [which isn't a bad place, per say, just a little ... violent and wild and generally a place most people don't want to go]

Ben: Alright. And how much of this pay does my team get?

Elena: Twenty thousand credits.

Ben: Twenty thousand. [thinking about it] How much does that leave you?

Elena: Same. We're all taking the same risk, so we split it down the middle.

Ben: Alright. I think my schedule is open for a quick butt coverin' job. [you can hear the smirk]

Elena: [and he can hear the eye roll] You want to meet somewhere so you can park the Live Wire? I'd rather have one ship going in.

Ben: This is a new-ish ship, Elena. I leave it somewhere, someone's gonna steal it on me and that's not going to make me happy.

Elena: Well, the Miss Mystic is bigger and that's the ship my contact is expecting. Maybe you can try Dean, see if he can watch it for a couple days?

Ben: [laughs] Yeah, not happening. Taserface would shoot me before I even got close to the ship. Let me check something. [turning to the doorway] Cora!

Cora: [sighs as she pokes her head out] Yeah?

Ben: Safe planet to leave the ship on while we take a job. You got any ideas?

Cora: You're asking me?

Ben: Who else would I ask?

Stiles: [shouting] You could ask me!

Ben: But I didn't ask you! [and yes, this is all on speaker]

Bonnie: [it's on speaker on her end too, and eventually Bonnie's voice comes over the line] I've got a friend on Knowhere who can keep it safe. Only'll cost you a small fee.

Ben: How small?

Bonnie: Couple hundred credits?

Ben: Since you want to do the one ship thing, Elena... [you're paying the fee, right?]

Elena: [rolls her eyes] Yeah, sure. I'll pay it.

Ben: You're as gracious as always, Elena. Meet you on Knowhere then.

Elena: See you there. [and with that, the call will end, and the Miss Mystic will jump to hyperspace and off his radar]

Ben: Alright team, we've got a job.

Malia: What kind of job?

Ben: Keeping people from killing some friends.

Cora: Where are we going?

Ben: Pickup on Zeldorn, dropoff on Xandar. Should be an easy gig.

Cora: Zeldorn? [Cora comes around the corner] What the hell are they picking up on Zeldorn?

Ben: Didn't ask. [is flipping switches to get the ship turned towards Knowhere.]

Cora: Zeldorn isn't exactly a walk in the park, Ben.

Stiles: [coming to lean into the doorway] How bad is it?

Cora: Thanos has sent a lot of people there just to get eaten by something big and bad.

Stiles: Oh wonderful.

Ben: Will you guys relax? We're going to be fine.

Cora: [seems doubtful]

Ben: [just oozes confidence] We can use it as a team building exercise. A well paid team building exercise.

Cora: Right. [and she'll just retreat to her room again] Let me know when we land.

Ben: Will do.

Malia: [she shrugs, before doing the same]

Ben: [and he will turn on the music as they jump to Knowhere and land at the place Bonnie will send him coordinates to]

Elena: [yep, and there will be the Miss Mystic, parked next to what seems to be a large hangar, and Bonnie is currently haggling with and paying the man in charge] You're good to go.

Ben: Thank you. [smirks and gives her a little flourish with his bow] How have you been?

Elena: Keeping busy. Nothing so dramatic as saving the world, but easy enough work.

Ben: Dean still giving you the easy jobs?

Elena: Dean never gave me the easy jobs, he just gave me the jobs I asked for. You were the one who didn't like that I could do them so well.

Ben: Hey, I never complained about how you go about doing your jobs. [much]

Elena: I seem to remember a lot of complaining on your part.

Ben: What? [totally trying to be offended face] You must be mistaking me for Taserface.

Elena: [wrinkles her nose because ew, Taserface] No, I'm pretty sure it was you.

Ben: Nah, couldn't be. So what are we getting from Zeldorn. My team's kinda worried about getting fed to some crazy beast.

Elena: Some family heirlooms - or at least that's what they implied. [and as she talks, Cora comes off the ship and her eyes widen a bit] ... Is that ...

Ben: [looks back over his shoulder] Yeah, yeah that's her. But she's a part of the team now. [smirks]

Elena: [and there's a narrow eyed "are you serious???" look because that seems like it's asking for trouble, and also she's a murderer] ... Okay.

Ben: People change. And since she isn't trying to kill me anymore, we're good.

Stiles: [and he's going to be following Cora down, having turned off the mutation suppressor because he doesn't want any of these people seeing his human face.] Any of you people touch my things, I will find you and claw yer face off.

Caroline: Oh, relax. These guys are professionals. [and she will step back and gesture to the entrance of the Miss Mystic] Shall we?

Ben: [and he will hold out his hand to stop Stiles before motioning to Cora and Malia] Ladies.

Cora: [awkwardly follows her cousin onto the ship, avoiding making eye contact and just keeping her focus on the journey ahead]

Stiles: [and he does not like leaving Scott behind, but he's set him up in a window and finagled a water drip from the bathroom that is NOT going to flood the ship AT ALL by the time they get back]

Malia: [if her bed is wet they are going to have words]

Stiles: [the twig needs water! HE SAVED YOUR LIFE]

Malia: [HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SLEEP ON A WET BED????]

Stiles: [In a swimsuit!]

Malia: [growls]

Ben: [and he will go to the cockpit with Elena because where else would he go]

Elena: [the cockpit of the Miss Mystic has three chairs spaced out of the wide area of the windshield, with Elena taking the lead chair to pilot, and Caroline and Bonnie taking the other two, one for navigation and one for weapons. You can stay, Ben, but you have to stand]

Ben: [that's fine. He'll stand right behind you, Elena, leaning over to look at the buttons] Someone's done some upgrades.

Elena: When you get good paying jobs, you gotta invest some of it back in the thing that allows you to do it. [she pushes a few buttons as they start to head towards hyperspace] We even hired an engineer too.

Ben: An engineer? Really?

Elena: His name is Ric and he's not into the whole adventure thing but we pay him well, and he keeps the ship running way better than I could on my own.

Ben: [nods] Well, I have a Stiles, which is just as good.

Elena: Whatever works for you, dude.

Ben: [and because he's Ben, he's going to reach across] and what does this button do?

Elena: [and she's going to smack his hand before he can get close] That's the emergency break.

Ben: Ow. [going to suck on his knuckles] Rude much?

Elena: You have a tendency to push buttons when you don't know what they do. Also, I'm trying to fly the ship, and you were blocking my view.

Ben: That's how you find out what the buttons do!

Elena: Yes, but it's my ship! Which stands to reason that I do know what the buttons do so you can just ask. Do you know how much shit we would be in if you emergency braked us out of hyperspace?

Ben: I wasn't going to actually push it. I'm not an idiot.

Stiles: [so much laughter from the other side of the door]

Elena: Uh-huh. [nudges him back] Why don't you go hang out in the back with the rest of your people. I'll let you know when we're landing.

Ben: [leans in close to her ear, putting on his sexy voice] If that's what you really want. [and he will head back into the main area]

Elena: [rolls her head back against the seat and mutters] I regret this already.

Cora: [just hanging back from the rest of the group, watching them all carefully]

Stiles: [and he is going to be tinkering with his gun, scratching at his ear every now and then because they are cute but they itch]

Cora: [sighs] So have you worked with these people before?

Ben: [finds a seat, feet up] Yup. Elena and I are practically siblings.

Cora: [eyebrow raise] With the ravengers?

Ben: Yup. Dean found her years after he kidnapped me. He has a soft spot for her.

Cora: [she nods] Got it.

Ben: [and he is going to look around the room] She and I have different styles in how we do jobs

Cora: She actually has a plan while you make it up as you go?

Ben: That's.... one way to put it

Cora: They're not cool with me being here, are they?

Ben: You do have a bit of a reputation you need to fix.

Stiles: Stop murdering people probably will help.

Ben: Not helping, Rocky.

Cora: After we got out of prison, I only killed people who were trying to kill me. And before that, I wasn't exactly me.

Ben: Exactly. And now you get to prove that.

Cora: [exhales and leans back in her seat] I guess.

Stiles: You can still cause them a lot of pain though. Just no killing. [grins]

Cora: I don't really want to do that either.

Ben: [kicks Stiles under the table] That isn't something we're going to do either.

Stiles: Not even if they are coming after your ship?

Ben: [he has to think on that a moment]

Cora: What? Can't talk your way out of it?

Ben: But it's my ship. I love my ship.

Cora: [she shrugs] Sometimes you have to fight. It doesn't mean you have to like it.

Ben: Right.

Stiles: But you can like it too

Cora: Yeah. Well, I actually don't.

Ben: See, you're well on your way to building a new reputation.

Cora: I hope so.

Ben: [pats her leg] Have some confidence in yourself. It'll help

Cora: [she shrugs] I just ... I've been this way since I was eleven. I don't know who I am to have confidence in.

Ben: Then have confidence in the person you want to become and pretend to be that until you just are that.

Cora: [doesn't think she's particularly good at that either, but she doesn't have a chance to respond before Bonnie pokes her head in]

Bonnie: We're coming in. Everyone get ready to roll.

Stiles: Are we gearing up or pretending we're here all nice like? [closing up the gun to checking it's charge]

Bonnie: Gearing up. We've got a few miles of jungle to get through before we get to the package, and Cora's not wrong about this planet not being friendly.

Stiles: Good. I've been itching to shoot something. [he's still reeling from losing Scott]

Ben: Stiles.

Stiles: I won't kill it unless it tries to eat me.

Cora: Probably more likely than not. [but she'll get up to be at the door when they land]

Ben: [and he will check his guns and stretch.] Remember team, leaving no man behind.

Elena: Or woman. There's more of us than you now. [the ship doors open and Elena cocks her gun as well, before leading the way out] Let's go.

Ben: I was meaning that in a generalized term, Elena. [rolls his eyes and activates his Starlord mask]

Cora: [and off they go into the jungle, Cora taking the lead and Caroline bringing up the rear. They actually make it pretty far in without any trouble, probably to the point where Stiles is questioning (or complaining) about Cora's assessment of the planet, and Cora is about to turn around and tell him off for it when a pair of tentacles wraps around her from behind and yanks her into the darkness out of view]

Stiles: Oh shit Cora!

Ben: [and he's going to turn to look in that direction, trying to see what his goggles can tell him]

Elena: Oh my God!

Cora: [and there's some heat signatures but before he can really ascertain what they are, another creature drops down and screams in his face, signaling to the others surrounding them to leap into action from the trees]

Stiles: [and he's pretty much going to open fire while giving a war cry because tentacles = BAD. And then he's going to use his racoon vision to go and hunt out Cora while Ben and Malia and the girls take care of the rest of the monsters]

Cora: [yep, they manage to handle that, but by the time Stiles tracks down Cora, she's mostly taken care of it herself, blue eyes glowing and covered in alien guts] I hate this planet.

Stiles: [ and he will shoot at the tentacle trying to come up behind her] Yeah, you and me both.

Cora: [snarls and keeps her claws out as the shooting stop and Elena bursts through the bushes] Let's just get this thing and get gone.

Stiles: The sooner the better. [lowers his gun a bit]

Elena: [nods and shouts back to the rest of the group] C'mon, let's keep moving!

Stiles: [and he will hold his hand out to help Cora out of the pile of tentacles]

Ben: [still shooting] How much further?

Cora: [and she will take it, before starting to move ahead]

Elena: Not much! We're almost there.

Ben: [and they will keep moving]

Elena: [and eventually they will come up on a shack in the middle of the jungle, and Elena will holster her blaster to go for the door] I'll go in and get the package, you guys stay here and keep an eye out.

Ben: You sure it's safe to go alone?

Elena: [she nods] I'll be okay. I'll yell if I need help.

Ben: And scream if you really need help.

Elena: [got it, and she quickly darts behind the door. It doesn't take her long, and eventually she returns with the box in hands] Got it. Let's go.

Ben: Double time, people. More running, less tentacles

Caroline: Don't have to tell me twice! [and they all take off for the ship, shooting where they need to]

Ben: [and they will make it back safely?]

Elena: [yep. and up in the air and into hyperspace before Elena finally relaxes with a grin] Nice job, guys!

Ben: Thanks. You know, we do make a pretty good team.

Elena: Kinda helps that we were trained that way.

Caroline: [who had slid into the ship like she was coming into home and not moved until Elena said they were clear holds up a hand] I vote for lots of drinks when we get back to Knowhere!

Ben: Yeah, but Dean always pit us against each other so we don't actually work together often. Felt good.

Stiles: I'm down for drinks.

Elena: [she shrugs] I never really saw it that way. I always knew that if I trusted you to hold up your end, you would trust me to hold up mine.

Cora: Any chance I can get a shower first?

Bonnie: Yeah, I'll show you where it is. [and those two will head off so Cora can no longer be covered in monster guts]

Ben: I trusted you. Didn't mean we still weren't rivals at times.

Elena: A little competition is never a bad thing. Keeps you on your toes.

Ben: Dean doesn't threaten to eat you when you screw up. I'm already on my toes. I'm so on my toes I could do ballet.

Elena: [she laughs] You know that was mostly him talking out his ass, right? The only reason he didn't use it on me was because he knew I was too smart to believe him.

Ben: Yeah, mostly. Kinda.

Elena: [smiles softly before resting her hand on his arm] He's prouder of you than you think. [and then she'll keep moving] I'm gonna go clean up before we get to Xandar.

Ben: [and he's going to follow because what's personal space?] Yeah, sure he is. That's totally why he had a bounty on my head up until last week.

Elena: Because he was pissed you snaked that stone out from under him - which it's probably a good thing that you did. [because then Dean would likely be dead, and everyone would be sad]

Ben: He would have done the same thing to me but I wouldn't put a price on HIS head!

Elena: Well, I never said that Dean was emotionally healthy in that respect. [and she'll disappear behind the partition between the captain's quarters and the rest of the ship, starting to strip out of her armor and clothes so that she can take a shower]

Ben: [and because he knows he will get shot if he follows past that, he'll just stand there] I don't think the words Dean and Emotionally Healthy would ever work in a sentence together.

Elena: I'm not sure it would really work for any of the Ravangers. [and there's the sound of water starting] We work with what we've got.

Ben: and yet when I'm finally off on my own, I tend to work with the same kind of people and actually enjoy it this time.

Elena: Maybe you just needed the right crew without all the baggage.

Ben: You've seen my crew, right? [but it's said with a touch of fondness, because he's proud of that ragtag family he's making]

Elena: [laughs] Yeah, but you don't have baggage with them the same way you do with Dean.

Ben: Yeah, I guess. [is quiet a moment] Need some help over there? I can get your back.

Elena: [rolls her eyes] I think I got it. Maybe you should consider cleaning up yourself.

Ben: I didn't bring anything to change into. I'll do it when we get back.

Elena: Okay. [and with that the water will turn up, the international sign for "leave me alone for my shower time"]

Ben: [and he is smart enough to know not to take a look because Bonnie or Caroline are nearby and will also shoot him if he tries, so he will go back to join his team]

Cora: [and she is now clean, in clean clothes, wet hair hanging down around her shoulders]

Stiles: [and he is distracting himself with fiddling with something in the wall of Elena's ship that was broken and he realized it so he's bored and fixing it.]

Alaric: [and now something is being messed with on his ship so the spoken-of-but-not-yet-seen engineer will poke his head out and be like] You. What are you doing?

Stiles: [not even looking up] Fixing your mistake.

Alaric: How do you know it was a mistake?

Stiles: Because I can hear it in the electric hum of the ship. You've got too many amps in this line. [and he will go into a very long winded explanation that probably drifts off topic at least 3 times]

Alaric: [and he will reach forward to bat him away] Yeah, it's picking up the slack for another component that went dead and we were planning on replacing once we got paid for this job. It's taking a little higher load, but not enough to blow it out, but if you disconnect it, you will take us right out of hyperspace and we will die so please leave my ship alone, thanks.

Stiles: What part? Because if it's [and he names three other parts and other ways to do that which would be better solutions in his opinion and not risk frying this circuit that would then leave them stranded because they wouldn't have the hyperspace at all]

Alaric: [and he'll say the component he means] But this circuit isn't going to fry, because I split the load between three other conduits in the ship, so it's a very delicate balance. Please don't touch it. I didn't have time to do major surgery on it, I just improvised with what I had and I'm going to fix it once we get back to Knowhere.

Stiles: If we make it. [but fine, he'll shut the panel. Has no faith in you, buddy]

Alaric: [GLARE] I freaking designed this ship. I know what it can and can't take. If I were visiting on your ship, I wouldn't have gone messing around with your hardware, so the least you could do is keep your nose out of mine.

Stiles: If you think you find something wrong on my ship - which you won't.

Ben: [goes over between them] Okay guys, relax. Stiles, seriously?

Stiles: What, it's a ticking time bomb!

Elena: Everything okay Ric? [comes out, dressed to finish the deal]

Alaric: Nothing. Just keep your raccoon out of my silverware drawer.

Cora: [snorts. she can't help it, that was funny, but at the same time] Are we talking literal blueprint designs or just customized augments?

Alaric: Not that it maters, but I designed the blueprints. Why?

Cora: I'm just surprised an engineer like Alaric Saltzman would need to be hanging out on a ravenger ship to make some cash. Also he's supposed to be dead. [just ... saying]

Stiles: [and that's a very racoon snarl there and he will go find his own corner because fine, if it breaks he tried to help, and will mutter] Maybe he shoulda stayed dead.

Ben: Dead as in you...? [looks at Ric] You're not a Zombie right, because I'm very anti-zombie.

Alaric: [w e l p face]

Elena: No, he is not a zombie. Ric's a friend from my home planet and he needed help laying low and getting away from a certain pair of bounty hunters who have not so great intentions. Hence, not having a whole lot of access to cash. We faked his death.

Ben: [looks at Cora with a "was that you or your siblings" look]

Cora: [shakes her head, Thanos doesn't give a shit about this dude]

Ben: What bounty hunters?

Alaric: The Salvatore brothers, working on the behest of the Mikaelson crime family.

Ben: [whistles] Damn, what did you do to piss them off?

Alaric: It's a very, very long story. [and Elena is conveniently looking away, while a signal goes off above them]

Elena: Looks like we're coming in to Xandar. Better get landing so we can get paid.

Ben: [and he happened to look at Elena when she looked away and yeah, that doesn't make him feel any better] Yeah, good idea.

Elena: [and she'll head back to the cockpit and Alaric will retreat back to the engine room and they will arrive on Xandar! Where Elena will get paid, the part will be bought, and they will jump back to Knowhere and find their way to the nearest bar. Caroline goes to buy the first round while Elena holds out the outerspace version of a money transfer over to Ben] Twenty thousand units, as promised.

Ben: [and he will check the account and send four and a half thousand to Stiles, Cora and Malia's accounts, and 1 and a half to a fund for the ship, and keeping five for himself] Pleasure doing business with ya

Elena: Likewise. [leans back in the booth] Maybe we can do it again sometime.

Ben: I'd like that. Though probably my ship next time so your engineer and Stiles don't end up killing each other.

Elena: Probably a good idea. [she wrinkles her nose] Ric doesn't get up in arms about a lot of things, but our safety on that ship is one of them.

Ben: Stiles..... he gets along with machines better than people most of the time.

Elena: That's fair. So does Ric, usually.

Ben: So where are you planning on going next?

Elena: Don't know yet. Bonnie said she might have a lead on a few jobs, so we're going to stay here for a few days and see what's out there.

Ben: Good plan. [takes a sip of his drink] Pretty sure with Cora, staying in one place isn't the best plan for us

Elena: Probably. How did you get her on your crew anyway?

Ben: She tried to kill me for the stone. Then Malia tried to kill her while we were all in prison. Stiles ended up coming up with the plan to get us all out. And then something weird happened

Elena: How weird?

Ben: That whole murder rage thing you heard about? It just shut off. From what we can tell, being away from Thanos for an extended time period broke whatever kind of brainwashy control he had on her.

Elena: [her brow furrows, looking appropriately horrified] So he was just controlling her?

Ben: Pretty much. She's working on figuring out who she is, and wants to rescue her siblings now to get them out from the control too.

Elena: Is there anything we can do?

Ben: Still working on figuring that out without having Thanos come and kill us all. [holds up his mug] Yay?

Elena: Indeed. [she takes a swig of her own drink] Well, if you need extra hands or an extra ship, all you have to do is ask.

Ben: I'll keep that in mind, but I don't think I'd like the idea of Thanos coming after you and the girls

Elena: [she shrugs] We don't have to go at Thanos directly. You said you have to keep them away from him, right?

Ben: Yeah

Elena: Well, if I see either of the Hales out and about on a far away planet, I'll send you a hail.

Ben: [smirks] I see what you did there

Elena: [she grins] I have a way with words.

Ben: I know. [and he will totally be thinking of other things her mouth could be doing]

Elena: [why do you do this, Ben. Why? She picks up on that vibe and rolls her eyes] You never stop, do you?

Ben: What am I doing?

Elena: You're totally preparing a line in your head right now.

Ben: I am not. [still is]

Elena: [and she shifts a bit to stare him down, raising an eyebrow]

Ben: Well, come on, you can't deny that there's this unspoken thing going on between us.

Elena: Maybe. But sometimes you ruin it by speaking it.

Ben: But it IS there.

Elena: [rolls her eyes] So what if it is? Doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea to act on it.

Ben: Do you want to act on it?

Elena: [sometimes, yes. annoyingly, yes. but she can also see how it can go horribly wrong] Ben ...

Ben: Elena. [bright smile] It's okay if you’re afraid. I know, I can be a bit much at first...

Elena: [she rolls her eyes] I am not afraid. I just don't want things to be complicated if it's ... underwhelming and we decide it's a bad idea.

Ben: Well, I can understand that. Highly doubt it'd be underwhelming for you, but I get it.

Elena: Wow. [she takes another sip of her beer] And you being this cocky about it is not really encouraging me to try.

Ben: You were the one who said I would be underwhelming! I had to respond!

Elena: Uh-huh. [and then she sighs because she knows he's not going to stop until they at least give it a shot, and part of her is curious. She glances over at the bar where Caroline and Bonnie are talking, and then looks back to him, leaning closer] Okay, we do this, we try it, and if it's terrible, we never speak of it again, and things just go back to how they were.

Ben: [and his eyes go wide because] Wait, what?

Elena: I think you heard me.

Ben: Just making sure it was you and not... whatever this drink is.

Elena: I'm not that drunk. [though it certainly didn't hurt] So are those fair terms or what?

Ben: Yeah, yeah I think those are very fair terms.

Elena: Good. [and she'll finish off her beer in one swallow] Let's go.

Ben: [and yeah, he's going to down his drink and get up as well] Lead the way

Elena: [and she will take his hand and wander through the bar, looking for somewhere quiet, and eventually finding an empty closet that had just enough room for the both of them - she clearly isn't going for romance here] Good?

Ben: Works for me [and with the door closed, he's going to pull her close and kiss her deeply]

Elena: [and she will kiss him back, winding her arms around his neck to pull him closer]

Ben: [and he won't have to bend down too much since he's only a few inches taller, but his hands will go to her hips, guiding the rest of her body up against him as he moves to press her up against the wall]

Elena: [she hums softly at that, quietly glad that she decided to wear a skirt tonight. her fingers slide down, dragging through his hair lightly as she tips her head back enough to keep the kiss]

Ben: [once they are nice and tight up against each other, he's going to deepen the kiss as his hands slide up her ribs to get a nice feel for her body]

Elena: [and she'll lean into his hands, before moving to tug at his shirt to drag her nails against his back, skin on skin. she doesn't plan on undressing much, because that's part of the thrill of something like this, but she does still want to get a feel for him]

Ben: [he will shrug out of the jacket to give her easier access under his t-shirt, and he will want to get under her shirt eventually to get a moment with those nice, firm breasts he's cupping now, and has dreamed about for years]

Elena: [he shouldn't have too much trouble there. Her jacket hits the floor as well, and her sleeveless top slides easily off her shoulders to pool at her waist]

Ben: [oh good, because he's going to make quick work of that bra and suck on then]

Elena: [with that top, she wasn't really wearing one, so it's one less obstacle for him to go through. As his mouth goes to work, she arcs back against the wall, moaning at the sensation as her fingers tug through his hair]

Ben: [and since his lips are busy his hand will guide one leg up over his hip, the other going to cup her sex so that he can rub against her nub and tease her]

Elena: [the closet is small enough that she can use the door to support her foot, and her hips press up into his hand as her eyes close. She's already slick from the rushed risk of it all, letting his fingers slide over her easily]

Ben: [he’s already nice and hard for the same risk of it all, and when he's sure she's ready he will pull a condom from the back of his jeans he had put there from his jacket while they had gone closet hunting and will tuck it into the waistline of her skirt before going to free himself from his pants]

Elena: [she moves on hand to help him with that, using the opportunity to sneak her hand below the belt to wrap around him]

Ben: [and he is going to groan, leaving her breasts and leaning his head back a moment enjoying the touch]

Elena: [she smirks at that, dragging her hand back and forth for a moment before reaching for the condom to slide it over him]

Ben: [and she does that so good and when he is ready, he's going to push her panties to the side and slide into her, pressing her back to the wall as his hands go to grab her ass to hold her and get in deeper]

Elena: [there's a gasp as her back hits the wall, and it's really been way to long since she's done things. Her eyes close as she lifts her hips to meet him, letting him take control]

Ben: [and this is going to be a marathon sex moment. It needs to be a quick wham bam before someone hears them. So his hand will slide between them to rub at her nub to get her going]

Elena: [and there's another gasp of surprise as she ducks her head against his shoulder, mouthing at the skin there as she does her best to meet the press of his hips and fingers]

Ben: [and as he gets closer, he will lean against her and press her into the wall more as he thrusts in harder trying to get deeper inside before he finds that edge and teeters on it]

Elena: [it doesn't take her much to keep her right there with him, and as he pushes her back into the wall, the friction is just the edge she needs to fall over it]

Ben: [and he will groan, shifting just a bit as he gets that final thrust in to send him over the edge which will hit Elena in a different angle as he presses in over and over during his orgasm]

Elena: [and she will quietly drop back against the wall, breathing heavily as she tries to catch her breath]

Ben: [and he will press his forehead to her shoulder, gasping for breath as he continues to hold her up and on him]

Elena: [and eventually she comes down, before shifting a bit to try and resettle her clothes, not sure what to do after this] Ben?

Ben: [and he will nod gently helping her back down to the ground, but will cup her cheek and kiss her again]

Elena: [lets him hold the kiss for a moment, before she pulls back to readjust her clothes so she looks acceptable again]

Ben: [and he will start to get himself looking decent as well, looking for a place to ditch the condom]

Elena: [and she'll fix her hair before turning back to him] I look okay?

Ben: Badass as always.

Elena: [she smirks] Thanks.

Ben: You go first. I'll follow in a few seconds

Elena: [she nods and will head back out into the bar to find her friends]

Ben: [and he will eventually come out and.... only Malia is still there so he is going to slip out the back and head to the ship, tossing the condom in the trash on the way]

Malia: [too late, she already smelled him on Elena, but she's not about to say anything so he dodged a bullet there]

Ben: [thank you]

Elena: [and she and Ben will talk about this later]

Ben: [yup. Maybe with clothes optional]

Elena: [maybe. she's gotta figure out how she feels about this]

Ben: [he felt it was epic himself]

Elena: [it was. maybe more epic she was anticipating and she's worried about things beyond her control]

Ben: [like them probably getting another job soon and having to delay their talk or something like Dean forbidding them to date]

Elena: [or her previous life that brought her to Dean coming to bite heron the ass]

Ben: [oh, like his will too one day]

Elena: [yep. but she, Caroline and Bonnie will probably be gone on their next job in the morning]

Ben: [and when he wakes up and sees them gone, he will be like "oh well then"]

Elena: [sorry Ben. she probably left him a video message and said they'd talk soon]

Ben: [well that's a bit better but still. He will probably go and crash breakfast between Stiles and Cora after a bit because the smell of food and all]

Cora: [glances up when she sees him] Hungry?

Ben: Yeah. I could smell the bacon halfway across the ship

Cora: Have at it.

Ben: Thank you. [and he will make a plate while Stiles is resting his cheek on the table] You find the bottom of the bottle last night Stiles?

Stiles: Two of them, actually.

Cora: He was almost charming.

Ben: Maybe I should just ask you stick with a liquid diet from now on then. [smirks]
