Ace's room is on the smaller side, or it could be that it just appears that way after her slight modifications. The bed, covered in an almost indecent number of quilts and comforters, has been shoved up against the wall at some point. Another corner is occupied with a desk practically snowed over with pages of semi-scientific type scribblings and notes. In a third corner, under the window so she can watch the exploding stars, is what was once an asture bench-type seat, but has been covered with so many blankets and pillows it looks rather comfy. Ace loses all momentum at the doorway and looks up at Tim nervously.

Worriedsadconfused she reaches out to turn his head back to face her, not letting him hide away. She doesn't say anything - she doesn't understand, and doesn't want to make things worse.

I....

*Tim shakes his head.*

I don't remember if you were there. I got stuck outside of the bar for six years one night. Jumped to voer two hundred worlds, fighting evil versions of myself. It..left some damage.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Ace considers this. She doesn't remember that, though it could possibly have happened while she was still freaking out over being in the bar in the first place. So many scars...
Very gently, she begins to kiss each scar, as if that could make things better, somehow.

*Tim smiles watching her. His hands stray to her bra, tugging at it gently...*

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Oh, right, the bra. Ace had forgotten about it. It takes a bit of concentration to undo the hooks, but she manages to accomplish it without dislocating anything. She pulls it off, feeling decidedly defenseless at this point.

*Tim stares, a smile creeping across his face.*

Wow.... perfect......

*And he lowers his head to one breast, looks up at her as if seeking permission...then takes the tip into his mouth, tongue dancing across it.*

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

She sucks in a sharp breath, whatever reason she had recovered scattering in that moment. Her hands, somehow, manage to grab onto his shoulders for support, otherwise she'd just collapse.
"Oh... oh God...."

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*Ah. Very sensitive. thats good to know. Tim, his mouth never leaving it's breast, sweeps her from her feet, depositing her on the couch, to make sure she doesn't fall over and hurt herself. one hand cradles her back, the other is rubbing against her jeans, right between her legs. Maybe he's gone too far, but at least that hand is still above the clothing.*

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

From the way she reacts, instinctively, her brain having nothing to do with anything at this point, she doesn't mind. As her hips buck against Tim's hand, there something vaugely at the back of her mind, warning, but she's too lost to care.

*Tim is scared. I mean, he's never done this before. Well, not with a real woman. Succubi don't count. And he completely discounts anything that happened with Polly, cause it turns out he was a whore. Good thing he DIDN'T sleep with her. Tim switches his mouth to the other nipple, his hand on her back moving up to the free nipple, and his other hand seeking to find that good spot, the one that makes her really twitch.*

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

He finds it, alright, and every nerve hums in response, the shock arching up her spine to clash against what he's already doing to her breasts, and she revels in the sensations and it's absolutely glorious...
and something snaps behind her eyes.

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*Tim pulls back, watching her.*

Ace? you all right?

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Delerious bliss has given way to absolute panic as her eyes open wide... yellow eyes.

I felt like I could run forever

"No... nonono..." she would run, hide, but there's really nowhere to go.

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*Tim steps back, sniffing the air for any magic effects... staring at her eyes.*

Ace?

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

She's terrified, absolutely terrified, and losing. The virus that she's held in firm check for so long has escaped control, since she never planned for this.
The cheetah doesn't understand either, just that it's caged and chained and stranger Ace flinches as the wild scream echoes through her mind.
Gotta calm down, just gotta calm down...

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

Ace...what can i do?

*His hands are ready. He calling up power. He has no frickin clue whats going on here. Poor guy.*

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

For a long moment, she(it) stares at Tim blankly with unblinking cats eyes. Then she shudders over some small internal battleground.
"Don't... let me leave. Don't." Her voice is strained, but it's still hers. "Please. Promise."

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*Tim gestures, and there is a glow to the door. The glow spreads across the room, a light green glow, covering everything except the wall with the window. Cause if thats not strong enough to resist Ace, we're all in trouble.*

I won't. Whats going on?

*He gestures again, re-clothing the both of them. Now is not the time to get distracted.*

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Without the worry of having to restrain it in case she loses, Ace rallies and begins forcing the wildness back, though it's an uphill battle after losing so much ground. She doesn't answer Tim - if she stops concentrating now, she's going to find out directly how strong Tim's magic is.



After a long couple of minutes, or what seems like an eternity to Ace, the yellow glow in her eys fades, then disappears, and she slumps back on the bench, exhausted.

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*Tim is there, hovering nearby. he wants to take her in his arms and hold her tight, but he doesn't want to scare her.*

Ace?

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Ace opens her eyes, dark eyes, human eyes, and looks up at Tim. She looks beat, and miserable.
"Mucked that one up, didn't I?"" she asks, suddenly finding the floor positively facinating.

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*tim gives in and wraps his arms around her.*

Ace...what was that?

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

She leans into him, suddenly feeling cold.
"I..." she stops, and sighs. "It's me. In a sense. There was this planet... no." She stops, re-organizing her thoughts. She is fairly sure she isn't being terribly coherent.
"Once, the Doctor took me home, to Perivale. I tried to find the old gang, but they were gone - these creatures, cheetahs, they were hunting people down and hauling them back to their own planet as prey. Of course we couldn't allow that, so the Doctor and I chased after them to get everyone back..." she pauses. Perhaps it didn't go quite like that, but she's in no mood to explain the Master.
"It wasn't some alien race. You get stuck on that planet too long, and you start becoming one of them."


"I was there just a little too long." She's very studiously not looking at him. She doesn't think she can take it.

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

Ah.

*Tim nods slowly, comprehending.*

And...it's still there?

((and i ahve to go, first day of work tommorrow.))

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"The planet? No, it's gone. Blew itself to bits. I swear it wasn't me." There's a faint echo of a grin, but it dies swiftly. "As for the effect... the Doctor didn't think it'd ever leave. I've just got to keep a hold on it, that's all." Her voice breaks, and there's tears running down her face. It's not fair.
