Thread: Making Our Own Justice (Athene & Razgriz)

Natalie Hayer Yeah...I know, but it just boils my blood that bastards like this can do whatever they please. Natalie replied heated, her hands clutching her coffee a little too tightly and causing some to spill out from the lip and hit her hand. Making her hiss a bit and withdraw, muttering 'Fuck' as she sucked on the affected area it didn't last long though, thankfully. Last thing she needed was her gun hand being compromised. Still, she couldn't help chuckling when Selena made her comment about the handcuffs it was true, it seemed like most guys loved taking control. But so many more didn't particularly care for giving it up in any capacity, even if it was just play. Kind of funny, considering a lot of the men she knew and had dated were in fact extremely vocal about being fine with a woman taking the reins from time to time. Only for experience to prove they weren't as accepting of it as they believed themselves to be. Well, yeah...But tonight, everyone will. It's all hands on deck, from what I'm told. Natalie replied after taking a sip of her straight-black coffee, adding But, the effort will be worth it at the very least, we can give these families some closure and hopefully a reunion. This type of thing was something she'd seen before, except usually it was a possessive parent trying to stop a foster family from taking their kid. This...This was different. This was criminal. Her own thoughts got distracted, however, when Selena turned her own question back on her. Oh, nothing much. Just been catching up on some shows when I'm not out and about...My ex and I are still trying to hammer out the finer details of the divorce. Still amicable, thankfully which means we'll still be able to see each other and little Sam. Unfortunately for Natalie, her numerous undercover assignments were simply too much strain on her and Jack's relationship. And because of that, their agreement would be to have joint custody of their daughter Samantha it was more a scheduling issue about who got to see her when, if only because of the abruptness at which Natalie would have to leave. Thankfully, at least, they had family friends who were very supportive and would usually be able to take care of her for a night or two. And as an even bigger plus, both of them had jobs here in the city, which meant they wouldn't need to uproot her and have her start over somewhere else. But... Natalie then said, giving a dismissive wave so as to introduce a new topic change, That's neither here nor there, but seriously! We'd love to have you along, and one of these days I'm not taking no for an answer. That last bit was followed by a playful smirk, letting Selena know that she was mostly kidding. Though with Natalie's usually brash demeanor on duty, anyone could construe it as a serious statement. The two would chat for a little while longer, Natalie making playful remarks about she was never going to find someone if she kept her nose to the grindstone like she did...But mostly, they just caught up for a little bit, until Natalie looked at her watch. Shit...I guess we should both get moving. I still need to shower and get my shit in order. See you back in the squadroom! Natalie shouted, waving her friend goodbye before disappearing around the corner.
