It didn’t take long afterward for Zahrah to get the information she wanted. To say Cyclops was proud would have been an understatement. They left their captive in the room and closed the door. In the hall, she sighed and fell against his chest. It surprised him but only for a moment. Zahrah wasn’t a soldier. It must have taken a lot out of her to manhandle a grown man the way she had. He held her without hesitation and kissed the back of her head.

“I hated having to act like such an ass. But how else were we going to get anything out of him?”

“I never imagined you could be like that.” Cyclops admitted. “And even though I was surprised…well—it made me hot.”

She moaned and looked up into his face. “That should at least score me a spanking, right?”

Cyclops coughed, choked on air. “Kitten?”

“I don’t know.” She pressed her forehead to his shoulder. “I have no idea what I’m into. But the thought of your hand falling against my cheeks—” She trembled.

Cyclops smiled.

“Anyway,” she said. “I’ll figure it out later. Right now, we have to eat and try getting some rest before Zero gets here.”

Cyclops agreed, reluctantly. When they entered the room, Ronin handed them takeout boxes. The food was lukewarm, but they sat down to eat and talk about what Zahrah got out of their guest.

“Well done, Sunshine.” Ronin teased. “Remind me to take you out for a drink when we get the chance.”

She smirked at him but said nothing.

After they ate, Zahrah went for a shower while Cyclops wandered around the property. He wanted to ensure there wasn’t anyone lurking around. When he found nothing, he headed back inside. Thunder was napping on the sofa and Ronin was standing at the window, staring out at the darkness behind the house.

“You okay?” Cyclops asked.

“Just thinking.” Ronin’s shoulders rose and fell. “I’m thinking if you wanted to meet a girl there are less dangerous ways of doing it.”

Cyclops smiled and moved to stand beside him. “I didn’t set out to meet a woman. I mean, I wasn’t closed off to it, but I wasn’t actively looking. But the moment I saw her…”

“I get it, man.” Ronin turned to face Cyclops. “You’ve answered the question I’ve been asking for months now.”

“What question?”

“If there’s more to life than what we are.”

“And your answer?”

Ronin smiled. “There is. Can’t you see that answer when you look into Zahrah’s eyes?”

Cyclops sighed.

“Man, you don’t see the way she looks at you?” Ronin shook his head and faced the night again. “Get some sleep.”

“I’m taking first watch.” Cyclops told him. “You need to rest.”

He left his brother and found somewhere outside to get comfortable. He ran through all the information they knew. All of it was hard on Zahrah. She hadn’t complained but he knew she was hurting. When she walked into his arms after grilling their guest, He felt as if the bottom had fallen out of his chest feeling her pulsed against his chest. Zahrah hadn’t cried.
