Tim's eyes widened as she cried out when his flames hit her. "Shit! Are you okay?" He legitimately was worried. He didn't want to seriously hurt her. That wasn't the way he worked. He tried to keep serious injuries to a minimum. He was in this to help people, not to get his kicks beating people up. That didn't make sense. Everything about this didn't make sense. He'd have to figure this out later. Before he could get a response to his question, he saw flames licking off of her hair. At first he thought that he had accidentally lit it on fire, but then he realized her hands were on fire too. So were her eyes. "Oh shit." That word was coming up a lot. This entire situation was going to shit very quickly. Then she exploded. She shot fire everywhere, at Tim, at the exhibits, everywhere. Tim didn't stop to think. He knew this was going to hurt, but he just reacted. He absorbed all the fire that erupted towards him, and then whipped up into the air, flying around the room in circles and absorbing the flames, screaming in pain as the flames licked up his arms while he absorbed them. He landed behind her, breathing heavily, tears creeping at the corners of his eyes from the pain. "Are you okay? Can we please stop? I don't want to hurt you! I'm sorry that I did! Physically and emotionally! I'm sorry I hurt your feelings!" Adara Chase

She hadn't heard him ask if she was okay - not before the flames erupted from her. A trickle of blood ran from her nose and her head spun. She barely registered the clear sound of him being in pain. She felt the sudden urge to protect this man she cared about but found herself on her knees instead. The water was making it harder to use her powers. Her neck hurt where she'd been burned. Her body shook from the weight of the power she'd let off.
The world was starting to slow down its spinning when he landed and she heard his breathing and then his voice from behind her. Her own breath came out heavy, tears pricking the corner of her eyes behind her mask. She wanted to take her mask off and cry. But she didn't know what he'd think if he saw it was her behind this mask. She was terrified he wouldn't want her.
That fear kept her mask on.
She turned, pushing herself to wobbling feet so she could face him. She noted his pain, his exhaustion, his worry. Guilt hit her harder than the sprinklers had. This was her fault, wasn't it? This was the man she loved-- The man she cared about and he was in pain because of her fire.
Adara looked down at her hands. She was soaked from the sprinklers. All she wanted was to hold his hand, wrap her arms around him, kiss him. Her anger was gone, replaced with a mixture of exhaustion and guilt. She'd hurt him. She'd wanted to hurt him. She took in a shuddering breath, shaking her head and taking a step back.
"I'm sorry," she said, voice strained, cracked. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the flashing red and blue and hear the sirens of police cars. They were going to surround the front of the museum soon.
She looked at him, finding so many words she wanted to say stuck on her tongue, unable to open her mouth. The water made it hard to use her powers but slowly the heat in the room started to rise. She managed to create enough heat that when it mixed with the sprinklers, it created a warm steam that filled the room. She paused for a brief second, looking at where she'd last seen him before turning on her heels and running toward the closest back exit.
She didn't know if he'd follow her. She didn't know if she wanted him to. | ... we'll be raising our hands shining up to the sky 'cause we got the fire and we're gonna let it burn ... torch Timothy Smith costume422 words I think this is close to wrapping up and then we can start the next thread? 🤔 |

Tim started to move toward her when she was on the ground, Primarily so he could assess her injuries, but also so he could arrest her and just bring this whole thing to an end. But arresting her was the least of his concerns at the moment, he just wanted to make sure that she was okay first. Then she stood up. The blood trickling from her nose concerned Tim even more. He took another step forward, only for her to take a step back. He heard a whispered “I’m sorry,” which confused him some. Honestly, he felt he had more to apologize for than she did, even though she was the criminal in this situation. He could feel the heat rising from her. “Wait, wait wait wait hold on!” He braced himself for another blast of fire, ready to defend against it, wherever it struck at, only to realize too late that that wasn’t her intent. The area was quickly cloaked in fog, obscuring his view. Even his enhanced vision wasn’t able to pierce it, there was too much heat and distraction and he was still hurting from the burns he’d received. He ran into it, trying follow her, but he had lost track of her almost instantly. “Crap.” Tonight wasn’t ending as nicely as it started. He called in to headquarters, explained the situation, and informed them that he would be cutting his patrol short. He had to study this. He had to understand why she burned him. And why he burned her. He had a feeling this wasn’t over. Not by a long shot. This wasn’t going to be the last time he saw Torch. Adara Chase
