WHO: ELECTRO and MOCKINGBIRD
WHERE: Electro's apartment at the MAC.
WHEN: Following this.
WARNINGS: Banter, makeouts, some sex.
SUMMARY: PARKER IS GONE AND ELECTRO IS SAD. Mockingbird to the rescue.
FORMAT: Para.


The apartment was dark; Electro had no need for the City's regular electricity, usually he powered his place on his own (cheap and easy) but tonight he didn't feel the energy at all. So he sat in the dark, staring at his dead TV, holding an unopened beer bottle in hand. Shit, what was he even supposed to do? Parker was his best friend, his... it didn't even matter what they were or what weren't beyond that. They were best friends, and Electro hadn't ever had any real ones. Why was it that now that things had been kind of going okay for him -- he didn't just have one girlfriend, he had one and a half... maybe. What did Bobbi think of their kiss, he wondered? -- the person he was closest to had to leave.

Maybe for good. Who could know? This place had no rhyme or reason to the pattern of who left forever vs. who left for a week. It wasn't fair.

He bit his lower lip, glaring through the darkness.

Gasping, Electro arched against her body, cheeks flushed with color. He moved one of his hands to her breast, cupping it in his hand, stroking with his thumbs. He pushed his hips harder, feeling himself edge closer to release.

"Yeah, swear," he murmured, voice heavy.

[mocks]

She moaned loudly, running both her hands down his body, scratching softly at his skin to encourage him on. The faster and harder he moved, the better she felt, and the easier it was to focus on the pleasure and on her own body. Her voice cracked a little, shaky between her muffled cries, "Yeah, oh God..."

[currentcy]

"Ah--" He gasped in again, shivering and burying his face against his shoulder, still feeling and rubbing at her skin. "Oh God." He swallowed, trying to concentrate, not wanting to shock her when he climaxed.

"Almost,"

[mocks]

"Okay, okay," Bobbi managed to say, arms curling possessively around him as he thrust into her. She turned her head so she could whisper in his ear, words breathy and soft as she kissed his temple. "Come for me, baby. I want you to come."

[currentcy]

He nodded, breathing hard against her skin. His hips bucked roughly and he moved his hands to her hips, tiny sparks bouncing off his fingernails. With one final movement he felt himself finish and he pushed up, gasping but reminding himself they weren't done yet. He stroked down her stomach, hoping to help her get off as well.

[mocks]

Bobbi was surprised to feel his hand moving down her torso. Surprised, but not at all disappointed. She smiled up at him lazily, shifting her hips so he could touch her more easily.

"Who woulda known you were such a gentleman," she said teasingly, legs parting for him. She might have had a mocking tone to her voice, but there was no mistaking the needy look in her eyes as she watched him, breath shallow in her chest.

[currentcy]

"Just tired of bein' called selfish," he said with a wry grin, sliding his hand between her legs. Inhaling slowly, he moved his fingers against her, pulling his hips back.

[mocks]

"Is that s--" She started to mouth off again, but her words became indecipherable when she let out a surprisingly loud moan as his fingers brushed over her. Blushing, she moved until she was comfortable, lips curved into a pleased little smirk as he touched her, though it became less and less teasing and more and more sincere as he continued at it. "That feels real nice," she breathed after a moment, almost a tremble to her voice. "Please don't stop."

[currentcy]

He smirked a little more, encouraged, and complied eagerly with his fervent hand movements. "Not gonna, just tell me when you're good," he said, licking the corner of his mouth. He exhaled, face flushed, watching her carefully.

[mocks]

Somehow, he'd managed to mostly shut her up, apart from the occasional noise she'd make in the back of her throat, a vocal show of her appreciation. It wasn't long til he found a rhythm she liked. Her eyes slowly closed, head back on the cushions, lips parted as her hands balled into imperfect little fists, back arching reflexively. "Close. So close..." It wouldn't take much longer, so long as he didn't back out of his promise.

[currentcy]

He leaned over her further, licking along the line of her neck. God, she was beautiful -- he still almost couldn't believe this was really real -- here he was, not only with an Avenger, but with... her.

Electro exhaled against her skin, hooking his fingers gently.

[mocks]

It was like she was slowly being pushed over the edge, every breath she took and every motion of his fingers drove her closer to climax until it hit her. She gasped sharply, air getting caught in her throat as every muscle in her body seemed to contract, hips rocking against his hand as she rode it out. It lasted awhile too, longer than she was even expecting, though the whole thing sort of took her by surprise.

"Fuck," she panted after a moment, opening her eyes again to stare up at Electro. Her expression was hard to make out. Mostly she looked exhausted.

[currentcy]

"Oh," he moved his hand, having felt her movements against and around it. "How -- was it?" Electro asked cautiously, moving back a little. He leaned against the cushions.

[mocks]

"Hmm...? It was okay, I suppose." Bobbi raised an eyebrow, apparently not too tired to tease him a little. She reached for his hand, slipping her fingers between his as she leisurely stretched out on the sofa. "What about for you?"

[currentcy]

"It was great," he said sincerely, leaning back further and squeezing her hand. "But I could probably get better with more practice."

[mocks]

She laughed, smiling back at him. It really was like this was a dream, because there was no way they'd just done that. Not that she regretted it just yet. She was still in a state of euphoria, thinking about anything too deeply probably wasn't the best idea.

"Well, you know what they say, sport. Practice makes perfect." Bobbi eyed him carefully, adding quietly. "We should do it again sometime. If you want to."

[currentcy]

"I'd be okay with that," he said, biting the corner of his lip. He slipped his arm around her shoulders, exhaling heavily in satisfaction. "Maybe we could schedule another... er. Date. For practice."

[mocks]

Bobbi thought it over for all of two seconds before nodding in agreement. Her impulse control when it came to men was really going to be her downfall someday. "Yeah, okay. So long as I don't hear you on the network tomorrow, telling everybody what we done. I like my privacy, you know. I don't want the whole world knowing who I've fucked."

[currentcy]

He grinned, leaning back and shaking his head. "Please. Who do you think I am? I'm not gonna like, kiss and tell."

Except for Parker, of course, but he was an exception. Electro didn't want this getting back to the Pro before he could figure out how he was going to handle it. Because if he let it handle itself, he got the feeling it would amount to a fuck-up that he wouldn't be able to fix.

[mocks]

"Who do I think you are?" She rolled her eyes at him, smirking still. "I think you're a bad decision. And I don't know if I can trust you at all. But, here I am. Naked. On your sofa." Bobbi sat up, pulling her knees beneath her as she crawled back over to him. She wasn't exactly the type that wanted to cuddle after the act, but she did like being close to him. It was reassuring, in a way.

[currentcy]

"You can trust that--" He paused for a moment, brows furrowing, "I ain't going to tell no one. They wouldn't believe me, anyway. Or they'd think something else and come try and beat the crap out of me."

He shrugged his shoulders, looking coy.

[mocks]

Bobbi rolled her eyes at him, leaning in to kiss his cheek. "It isn't anybody elses business anyway. What we do, it's just between you and me."

The longer they could keep this quiet, the better it would be. After Luke's explosion over Misty and Parker, Bobbi wasn't looking forward to having to explain what she was doing in Max Dillon's apartment. She cleared her throat, looking at him a bit smugly, "So... what now?"

[currentcy]

He sat up, doing his pants back up again, and exhaled heavily. "I don't know," he said, with a short laugh. "I'll be honest, I'm surprised you didn't leave. I didn't figure you'd want to spend this much time with me."

[mocks]

She reached for her own clothes, shimmying back into her panties. "I am full of surprises, Max. Think of this as your warning." She paused, trying to refasten her bra. "I did a good job of distracting you anyway."

[currentcy]

"Yeah... you did," Electro had to admit, rubbing the back of his neck. "I wasn't even thinking about Parker. I mean, not about him being gone."

He licked his upper lip, and leaned close to her, kissing her briefly on the mouth.

"Thanks."
