Til death... (Tag: beloved)

"I know that face, baby. It's your Dinah Lance, are you out of your alleged mind? face, isn't it? Trust me, I may not be a decent enough cook but I do know meat. I checked it out carefully before putting it in the cart or else I would never have touched it. Exhausted though I might be, I still have enough wits about me to not want food poisoning.[/i][/color]

By the time they got back to the boat Dinah was coughing furiously. Having been running on adrenaline from the time of the bank disaster until now, it all started catching up with her during the flight back to the boat. Not how the Black Canary wanted it, hoping Jessica would be the first to sack out so Dinah could play nurse for her but the smo0ke inhalation caught up with her. When they landed on the boat Dinah was gasping for air and fell like a rag doll onto a chair.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you. Really. Forgive me? Go ahead and get the gas, here's the can and tools if you don't mind going alone. I'll be fine until you get back."Dinah grunted before reaching for Jessica's hand and tenderly kissing the back of it. "Love you."

[spiderwoman]

Jessica raised a brow at what Dinah had said but didn’t say anything she didn’t want to end up starting a fight with her over nothing really that important. Instead she just lead them back to the boat getting everything onto the ship leaving the cart behind it was no longer of any use to them at this point. “Are you alright?” she was worried something might be wrong with Dinah. It was probably the smoke from the bank fire. Hopefully it wasn’t to bad she didn’t know how to deal with that and she wouldn’t be able to find anyone in time to save her.

“It’s alright your allowed to be grumpy once in a while. I do forgive you. I will but you go find a bed and get some rest I shouldn’t be long and we can finally get the hell out of here.” she leaned forward giving Dinah a quick kiss “I mean it to no arguing about it. Or I’ll find a bed and tie you to it.” she smirked before getting up grabbed a bottle of water leaving it near Dinah in case she needed it.

After that she gathered up the supplies before heading off to find the first car to raid. Which turned out to be empty not giving up she headed off to find another one but stopped in her tracks “Jackpot!” a gas station hopefully it wasn’t empty and the pumps were still working. She took off running towards it coming to a stop she grabbed one of the pump testing it, it worked she begin filling the cans this was so much better then sucking gas out of a car. It didn’t take long to fill the cans instead of going back right away she looked around in the building finding a couple more cans and filled those up as well.

On her way back to the boat she heard something stopping she moved over to a building and peeked around the corner and swore under her breath when she saw the clone destroying something. She pulled herself away from her hiding place and quickly made her way back to the boat and went to work hotwiring it. Not wasting any more time they had to go now!

"I'll be fine. Just need to lay down, can't run anymore right now." Go ahead." She genuinely no longer had any argument left in her and sprawled out face down on a couch as soon as Jessica took to the air with the gas cans. The cap to the waster bottle was off in a flash and Din ah inhaled it then another before being a horizontal lump on the couch. It seemed there was barely any time lapsed, it felt that way when Loud noises and a quick looksie spelled trouble in the form of clones.

Dinah was up like a shot and fortunately Jessica had just returned. the clothes were tucked away, the food was stashed and the couple were off and running with the boat engine humming and the waves beneath the rudder being churned. Then boat even has a decent compass and navigation system splendid isn't it? So where are we heading?" The Canary asked as she stretched out again, kicking off her boots and tearing the stockings off her legs.

[spiderwoman]

Jessica got the boat started and pulled away she hoped that the clone was to busy doing whatever it was to pay them any attention. Once they were far enough away she took the time to turned all the other things on “Let me get back to you on that once this stuff starts up.” she said while she went into her backpack and pulled out a map she had found. “There’s an island about a day away we could check out.” she said looking at the map.

After a few minuets she had programmed the boat and left it on autopilot while she went down into the boat to look around more and find the master bedroom this thing probably had. After going threw a few rooms she finally found it and wow it was huge and really nice. “Either this guy had a wife or the ship really belongs to a woman. I doubt a guy would be able to add a woman’s touch like this being single and all.” she said knowing Dinah probably followed after her.

Jessica would have looked around more but that big ass bed was calling her name. Even though she probably wouldn’t get much sleep she’d still like to lay down for a while. She stripped down to her underwear and flopped onto the bed “So…comfy.” she half muttered into the pillow. It was really nice to get to sleep on a real bed for once and not on the hard ground or something else.

"If there is one thing experience has taught me it's that the first answer to present itself isn't always the right one but I am too tired to fuss over it. I'll gladly trust your judgment." Dinah spoke up quietly after following the brunette down to the master bedroom, a nightgown in hand for each of them only to discover that Jess had already de-cloaked down to her panties and slipped into the bed.

"Whoever it belonged to they are never getting it back.I'd say the woman's touch on it is beautiful. It will make a beautiful mode of transportation." Before she was fully aware, her weary eyes were squeezing shut and her aching head was nestled into a pillow right next to her spider-babe. She had slipped into the nightgown and with an arm resting on Jess and the other holding the pillow close, Dinah was out like a light in hopes the next 6 to 10 hours would clear the cobwebs and give her a better attitude in the process.

[spiderwoman]

“Agreed.” she muttered back Jessica wasn’t planning on getting up anytime soon not even to put on the nightgown Dinah had brought her she was just to tired to move right now. Besides who was going to care that she was in her underwear? No one that’s who. And she was out like a light for how long she didn’t know and didn’t really care. All she hoped for was a peaceful night for once. And for once she was lucky enough to be so tired her mind couldn’t create the nightmares and she managed to sleep until the next morning. Which in her opinion came to soon she pulled her pillow off from under her head and put it over her head to block out the sunlight.

It worked for a while and she managed to fall asleep again for a few more hours before she finally dragged herself out of bed. It took her a moment to realize where she was at and to find the bathroom. Stripping off what was left her of her clothes she got into the shower and turned the hot water on oh that was nice. How long had it been since she had a hot shower? So long she couldn’t even remember when it was. A nice hot shower was a lot better then a cup of coffee. Dinah was right whoever owned this boat wasn’t getting it back. Finders keepers and all that. It was now their new home on the sea.

While Jessica Drew had been the first one up, gotten out of bed and headed for the shower, Dinah Laurel was still off in slumberland, enjoying the best nights sleep she'd had in a long time while dreams of what a possible wedding between herself and Jessica was going to be like. Naturally she hoped and was certain things would go better this time than her first two marriages to Craig Windrow and Oliver Queen had. She could never ever picture hersel marrying anyone again, unless Jessica had been willing. Her acceptance actually surprised Dinah marginally but she was happy again. Nothing could possibly go wrong now.

Jessica Drew was still in the shower when Dinah finally awoke, yawned, and stretched then made her way back above deck; still dressed in her nightgown as she extended her arms and inhaled the ocean breeze. Turning a pot of coffee on to brew and cradled into a chair, thoughts turning toward the surprise Jessica mentioned yesterday but still hadn't revealed.

"Blue skies smiling at me. Nothing but blue skies from now on."

[spiderwoman]

Jessica finished her shower even though she didn’t want to get out she couldn’t hog all the hot water. She dried herself off before walking out looking for clothes to wear. After some looking she found a yellow bikini that she put on with jean shorts over top. Before leaving she grabbed her old pants digging out the ring putting it in the pocket of her shorts then left the bedroom. She stopped to fix herself a cup of coffee before going off to look for Dinah who was sitting in a chair looking to be in a much better mood. She took a sip of her coffee man she had miss this she had been drinking a coffee a lot just to keep her moving but it never tasted this good.

Putting the cup down she pulled out the ring “I hope you like white gold.” she reached down for Dinah’s hand to slip the diamond ring onto her ring finger before sitting down next to her. Might take them a while to find dresses and all that stuff needed for a wedding if Dinah wanted one like that. If not then it’d take less time to get everything ready for the wedding where ever their going to have it that is. She wasn’t even sure about that let alone anything else. But they'll have more then enough to get it all sorted out.

Sitti8ng on the spacious deck of her new houseboat, well half her new houseboat; enjoying the morning breezes wash across the surface of the waves and hit you in the face. It was refreshing. Dinah would swear she could get used to this. The coffee was excellent. It was the best the store and Jessica knocked off had to offer and coming from such a ritzy place, that was saying alot.

Having just swallowed another sip, her eyes went wide in astonishment and an audible gasp came out of the blond's mouth when her fiance laid the ring on her. "I love it, Jessica. Did you honestly think I wouldn't?" She asked before slipping out of her chair, sitting her coffee mug down and moving into Jessica's, cuddling up next to her and wrapping her arms around her.

[color=yellow["Everything is perfect for the first time in a long time. How did you sleep? What do you want to do today?"/color]

[spiderwoman]

“Maybe? I know your not overly picky about things but I never got you a ring before so I really didn’t know if you were picky about that stuff or not.” she shrugged and wrapped her arms around Dinah when she had came over to sit on her lap. It felt normal again as if the world had never ended and they were just on a vacation a much over due one. She rested her chin on Dinah’s shoulder “Given any thought on where or when you want to get married?” That may or may not be a lot to think over she wasn’t sure.

“I agree and I slept great with you next to me.” she smiled then thought about what they should “I vote for not doing anything today and just be lazy for once.” no need to hide or worry or had to move from place to place anymore in hopes of staying one step ahead of the Doomsday clones. They were free to do whatever they wanted to do now and every day after.

"When: The sooner the better is what I am thinking, my dear. I know how committed we both our to each other but there is just a different feel to things this time around and making it official would make it all feel even better. I get chills up and down my spine thinking about the possibility of making you my wife, and in a good way. You are the greatest love I have even known. Noone else even comes close." She answered while keeping Jess's chin nestled on her shoulder.

"As for the where, someplace outdoors. An outdoor wedding is all I ask for. It can be small if you like. Not as if we can pack out seats the way things are these days. Or it could just be the two of us and a judge. This might surprise you but I am not picky about this either, my love."

She ran her fingers through Jessica's dark locks of hair and sighed contentedly then traced her fingers up and down gently upon her back. There are life preservers on board. I am starting to get hungry so if you want to cook something for breakfast, i can go take a shower and then we could stop the boat for awhile and do some swimming. If you don't want to cook we'll pull the milk out of the icebox and have cold cereal. I think we'll be safe enough long enough to catch some waves. What do you think?"

[spiderwoman]

“Well if you want it that soon it’ll have to be just the two of us cause it’ll take a lot of time to track down people. We can’t email or text people asking them to come anymore. And we can do it outside I don’t care and if it rain…it’d probably make it all that much better.” she smirked at the thought of getting married in the rain it could be fun. There’s a lot of fun things you could do in the rain getting married is just one of them. “Picked out a pretty dress or are we going to go hunting for one?” In a perfect world Jessica would have wanted something nice to wear but since they lived in a broken world she’d settle for anything or nothing hey if it was just going to be the two of them they could do something wild like that.

Jessica shivered feeling Dinah’s nails on the skin of her back. “After spending the last few years eating whatever I had found for breakfast and now that we have food good food at that I’m cooking. I don’t think there’s any clones out here in the middle of no where pirates maybe but not clones.” End of the world or not pirates are probably still around not that the two of them would have a problem dealing with people it’d be a nice change of pace. “You go get your butt in the shower and I’ll fix us something great to eat.” her mind was already going to work on what she going to fix for them.

"Why don't you try telling me what you want for a change.?" The still nightgown wearing Black Canary suggested, rolling around in her brain Jessica's comment about how difficult it would be to get guests at the wedding."If you want to wait until we can track down guests to come to the wedding then you decide. I just don't want to spend the next 5 months planning things out is all."

Dinah knew exactly what Jessica was really thinking when she mentioned getting married outside in the rain. The girl has a dirtier mind than Dinah does she is just more subtle about it. "I know what you're thinking. You are truly evil like that." Dinah started laughing at the innuendos then addressed the issue opf dresses.

"I just popped the question yesterday and to be honest, like I said I wasn't totally confident that you would say yes so I haven't looked for dresses yet. However we could plunder some fabric and a sewing machine and make our own dresses. Would be alot easier than hunting like a needle in a haystack for things we might not find. I can sew if you don't want to."

She lowered her head playfully but with mock sadness as though she'd just been scolded by her mother and ordered to her room when Jessica told her to go shower. "Yes dear." She saluted and made her way back downstairs to the shower after pulling Jessica Drew in for a deep kiss and then gazing at her engagement ring before disappearing.

"If we run into pirates, no biggie. It'll give me a reason to scream again. Not being able to use my Canary Cry for so long out of fear for alerting the clones hasn't been fun" She added for good measure then started down the stairs. "The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout..."

[spiderwoman]

Tell her what she wanted for a change? She thought for a moment before she had an evil grin on her face. “Why don’t we invite Ollie to the wedding? Imagine the look on his face when he finds out about us.” Chances are it wouldn’t be hard to find him all you really had to do was look up he was probably hiding with the rest of the JL in space. Her look changed to one of innocent “Who me? I’m not the one who thought that was all you. You’re the one with a dirty mind.” she did but she wasn’t going to admit it yet at lest.

“The world was ending and we got split up all I was thinking about was staying alive and hoping to find you still alive and not looking for someone else.” she was starting to think Dinah was dead it more her mind then her heart thinking that it could really be evil sometimes. “It’s not that I don’t want to sew its just I never learned how it’s not a skill needed to be a spy you know?” back then it was rare she had time for herself when she could she’d spend it with Dinah.

Jessica raised a brow when she got saluted then rolled her eyes she shook her head after the kiss and Dinah finally leaving. Then smirked when she heard the blonde “If you want a reason to scream I’ll give you one.” before she got up took her coffee and heading into the kitchen to start work on breakfast. She was going a little fancy and made smoked salmon omelets and home fries.

Dinah was loving the feel of the water steaming into tired muscles and limbs, providing more reenergizing then even the decent nights sleep could provide the previous evening. Inviting Ollie to the wedding. Hah. It brought a laugh from the blond's lips once she was out of sight but even more than Ollie there was someone else whose reaction Dinah couldn't wait to see. The only other woman that Dinah Laurel Lance had ever come close to loving. but when things blew up and the clone war began. the potential for that, whoever small it was, self-destructed along with the that of the best friendship she'd ever had, except fopr Jessica. She didn't even know if a certain redhead would show up and Dinah didn't know if she even wanted Barbara to be invited, but the thought of what Babs expression would be was sweet to think about.

Yeah. The hell with you, Barbara Gordon. She sulked and pounded a fist on the shower wall before finishing her shower, trying to push those thoughts out of her mind. Jessica knew how close she and Babs were at one point. Dinah had told her before but it was nothing like it had been with Dinah and Jessica. Now Dinah hated to even be in the same room when Babs name was mentioned. It was taboo to put it mildly.

Bypassing the hair dye after leaving the shower, deciding to let nature take it's course. Today would be the day Dinah would let her hair slowly return to it's natural black. It would take time for the blond coloring to fade away. Possibly between a week or two. Hopefully not that long.

She returned to the the master bedroom, slipped into a bathing suit and made her way up behind Jessica, white gold ring firmly in place as she started tickling the chef. "Breakfast smells like it's coming along great. As soon as we are done eating, why don't we just steer this ship to the nearest safe port that is clone free, grab a judge and seal the day. There will be plenty of time to see the look on Ollie's face at some point. He normally finds me first anyway when he wants something. Are you okay with spe3eding things up that quickly or should we wait?" Siu jerk Jai asked before starting to tickle Jessica.
