Re-I was doing better now that the limiters were off but at the same time she felt antsy her emotions flooded her brain and she was sure how to handle it. She heard about Soujiro and what happened and as she rushed to his room her mind and heart raced worried about him. Her argument with Tony coming to mind as she stood in front of the door and knocked her limbs shaking. "Soujiro are you up?" she asked her tone betraying her worried state for once.

Soujiro had been spending the day in bed, more eager than anything, waiting for a new chance at the cirque. His mind kept going back to the other night. The sensation of being hit by that blast of magic from the woman called Raven was still fresh in his mind. Not to mention the ringing in his ears from Alpha-7's whistle. He was a bit sore at her for that, but considering they've never been real close friends, it wasn't entirely unexpected. The more he thought of that night, the more he began to wish she wasn't there to interrupt.
Before he could mull any more about it, he heard the knock on his door, followed by Re-I's voice.
Soujiro thought of this as a welcome intrusion as he hopped off his bed, wincing slightly from his still aching sides. We then walked up to the door, pressing a button on the side to open it, greeting his close friend with is usual chipper smile.
"Osu*," Soujiro said, "what can I do for you, Re-I?"
*Slang for 'Ohayo Gozaimasu', which means 'good morning'.

ReI more or less tackled Soujiro into a hug before glaring "I SWEAR SOUJIRO IF YOU EVER WORRY ME LIKE THAT AGAIN I'M GOING TO USE YOU AS TARGET PRACTICE" she yelled but you could not hear anger in her voice merely her concern for his well being as she held onto the sleeve o n his arm her hair completely down for once creating a black curtain around her face. "I was worried out of my mind Soujiro you went off on your own and when they brought you back I thought I was going to kill someone!" she said looking like she was hurting.

This was, in one way, a bit unexpected, but in other ways, not really. Soujiro was expecting to get a lecture from Re-I about his antics putting him in danger, yet again. He knew she cared about, at least in the friendly sense. Though, this time, her tone was different. He noticed the total lack of anger present in her voice this time. That, coupled with the way she was holding on to him, made think maybe there something more going on here.
"Hey, c'mon," Soujiro said, putting his free hand on Re-I's shoulder, "I'm fine, really. I was just doing some rough-housing, that's all."

"Sorry..I had the limiters removed...my emotions are every where...and when I saw you and remembering it... the idea of losing you...scares me" she said biting her pale lower lip. "Just promise me you will take me with you if you go off like that again you know that I have your back!" she said gently.

Soujiro's smile remained, but it had become more hollow. He had always had this nagging feeling that Re-I's feelings for him were more than just friendship. He never understood why. He was never really that special. Of course, he was probably the only man in all of Strato-Form she got along with. Still, he couldn't afford to have this.
"You really shouldn't be so clingy," Soujiro said as he pulled away from Re-I, "I mean, it's not like you really need me. Sure, we go great together, but...but let's be honest, I'm not that great a catch."

Re-I's eyes narrowed and grew cold as ice as she stood to her full height her entire being focused acutely at this precise moment. "Soujiro you are one of the few people in this building who even has an IOTA of understanding about me...and the reasons I came here. Between you and Mr. Stark and GLaDOS that is and one of the is an AI program the other is the majority of the time a recovering alcoholic. Yet it seems you in all of your glory seem to be the only somewhat sane person around here!" she screamed her coldness finally breaking before she collapsed to her knees holding her neck sounding like she was having a hard time breathing.

Soujiro turned as he got berated by Re-I, and immediately dropped down when she fell to the ground.
"Hey, hey!" Soujiro said with a sudden, and uncommon, show of concern, "take it easy. Don't push yourself too hard."
He couldn't understand it, but she was the only one who ever made him feel like this.

Re-I coughed hard before feeling normal again and looked up weakly at him. "Hey don't look so freaked out...this is what happens when I try and take off the limiters before I should...just with all the craziness I wanted to make sure I was able to protect Mr. Stark in case shiz hits the fan and if I'm going up against the enchanteds its better to be prepared then wandering around like a loon right?" she said witha chuckle before coughing again. "Besides...I gotta watch my partners back can't let ya get hurt again"

Soujiro's smile returned after hearing Re-I's chuckle; she always seemed bigger than she actually was, and was one of the reasons she respected her so much. And, he always did miss her when they were on separate missions. It was comforting when there was someone actually looking out for you, without always suspecting the worst.
"Always looking to improve yourself, huh?" Soujiro said, returning the chuckle, "I think Alpha-7 better watch out, we might have a new super-girl in town."

"Well i am about to beat the shit outta whom ever your partner was when you guys did what you did if i was there you wouldn't have gotten hurt in the first place!" she said angrily. She wasn't so ticked about him leaving her but someone allowing him to get hurt was what made her the most angry. "Because it takes a lot for you to get hurt and if they weren't paying attention for that long that's bad!"

"Well, I was with Alpha-7 and Hulk on that particular mission," Soujiro said as he tilted his vision upward, recalling his previous mission, "though to be fair to Hulk, he was told to wait for us back at the jet. And, technically, we were spotted by a high-level spellcaster, and Alpha was trying to help me. At least that's how she explained it. Though, to be honest, I don't know how killing my ears with that whistle of hers was any helpful."
Of course, Soujiro chose to leave out the part where he'd been out in the open, looking for trouble, and egging Raven on to try and attack him. Still, the way he saw it, his injury was Alpha-7's fault for trying to interfere.

Re-I's eyes widen and a rather disturbing smile erupted on her face. "Fantastic thank you Soujiro at least I have something to do now since Mr. Stark isn't letting me interrogate anyone at least until I get better used to the limiters..." she said laughing lightly before giving him a hug "Do you want to come watch the carnage or are you going to rest more Soujiro?"

Soujiro chuckled at Re-I's statement; he just loved her ways with words.
"Thanks," he said, patting her on the shoulder, "but I think I'll rest up for now. I am feeling a bit drained at the moment. You might wanna be careful, though. Hulk'll be really pissed when he finds out about you beating her up."
