Lara watched Julia it seemed the red head still had feelings for her after that brief little kiss if she didn’t she wouldn’t have done that right? She did indeed follow Julia back out to her truck after grabbing her bag but instead of getting inside the cab like Julia was going to she got in the back no point taking up room inside when she wasn’t going to sleep. She looked at Julia “Sleep is a choice then a need.” she turned away watching the city for anything that might show up and deal with it if she needed to in order to keep Julia safe like a guard dog almost.

She really wasn’t all that human anymore when the sun comes up Julia will really see how much she had changed from the last time they saw each other. Then she could decide if she really wanted Lara around or not. She leaned back sitting near the window with her knees pulled up and elbows resting on top of them. She wasn't planning on going anywhere until the sun comes up unless something happened.

Julia sleeps in the back of the truck, she usually sleeps naked, she found a bunch of soft satin sheets and some foam padding, she wrapped it all together to make a very comfy pudge of beddding to sleep on which is nestled between the mass of stuff she has in the back and the drivers side wheel well on the bed of the truck. there is room for two on the pad, but it's a snug fit if two lay there.

"I understand, I could probably stay up with you, but my brain's telling me it's sleepy time."

She hops into the bed and curls up. She could sleep in the cab but the seat isn't that comfortable, not as much as her bedding thing she made. She leaves her shirt and panties on since she has 'company' as it were.

"Would you like to lay with me until I fall asleep?"

She asked in a girlish voice that sounded needy and delicate. She really would like to have Lara's strong arms around her as she fell asleep, it's so nice to cuddle or spoon with another person for sleep. She hates having to sleep alone all the time.

Lara stopped watching the shadows of small animals at lest that’s what she thought they were they were to small to be anything else as far as she knew. She thought over what Julia had asked of her she supposed it couldn’t hurt to stay with her for a little while until she fell asleep. Making up her mind she moved from the back of the truck barely making a sound or even moving the truck making it hard for anyone to know if she was still sitting where she was or not. It had became a habit of hers to barely make a sound or much noise. She quietly opened the door before taking her boots off she didn’t want to get Julia’s bed dirty with her muddy boots. She put them in the front before making her way into the back where Julia was waiting.

She also took off the double buckled belt and dual pistol leg holsters tossing them up front as well. She laid down next to the red head not sure what she wanted her to do but she was there in her black leather waistcoat with zippers matching pants and of course matching fingerless gloves your not Lara Croft with out those.

Julia gets a happy smile on her face when Lara agrees, as soon as Lara is in bed with her, she starts undressing the other girl. But she doesn't do it in a naughty way, she just pulls her coat off. She doesn't want to have sex or anything, but skin on skin contact is always nice. Unless Lara fights with her, then she'll give it up. She mostly spends her time cuddling Lara, caressing her, she might kiss her if Lara seems receptive. Eventually she'll curl up so Lara can hold her, she'll fall asleep and sleep very peacefully.

She'll wake up the next morning at the crack of dawn, literally just a few minutes after the sun comes up. She jostles some, stretches out wide and long, at some point in the night she tugged her shirt off, part of one of her boobs is a little exposed, but its just sideboob. Her entire left leg is bare and uncovered as well as some of her hip and tummy, the rest of her is totally burried under sheets and covers.

"Lara?"

She whispers, hoping that she did not leave her in the night.

[Deleted]

Lara pretty much let Julia do what she wanted she was more curious then anything though wanting to learn more about the red head or even try to remember but her mind wasn’t giving her anymore clues right now. Even while she laid there the whole night half way through the night she just gave up trying to remember anything more for the time being.

Lara had stayed the whole night with Julia until about an hour before dawn she had decided to get up taking her things she slipped outside to get dressed before climbing up the side of the near by building to see if anything was going on near by not really caring what was going on deeper into the city just in the area. She stayed up there for a while before dropping off again this time not landing in the back of the truck just near it. Looking inside she could see Julia was awake now so much for sneaking back inside with out her noticing.

[Deleted]

Julia pulls one of the sheets against her chest and sits up. She looks around, but doesn't see Lara immediately and a deep well of sadness begins to fill her, but when Lara comes around, she becomes so excited she jumps out of the back of the truck in nothing but a pair of black lace panties to hug her.

"Lara!"

She said, as her boobs bounce and smash against Lara's leather top, she gives the girl a kiss on the cheek, then blushes furiously as she remembers she's topless and nearly naked, her hands quickly slap against her chest in embarisment.

"Oops!"

She shouts, before she creates a pyschic webbing top, its a little sticky, but it covers her enough. It looks like a pink glowing tube top, and it persists until she gets a real shirt on, after her head pops out the neck hole of her shirt.

"Want some breakfast?"

She announces excitedly. Seemingly not caring she's still not wearing any pants, apparently she's gotten so used to never seeing other people, that being naked or nearly naked in what would normally be a very public place, doesn't seem to bother her at all.

[Deleted]

Lara saw something out of the corner of her turning her head she looked to see if what it was turned out to just be a little bird nothing to worry about unless it decided to try and peak her to death which was unlikely to happen. She looked back just in time to see Julia mostly naked attack her with a hug like she hadn’t seen her in a long time. A few seconds later she had realized she was topless and made herself something to cover up with. Then hurricane Julia was gone again leaving Lara wondering what had just happened.

“That would be nice.” even though she didn’t have to eat often it was getting close to when she usually did. It wasn’t all that hard to keep track of when she needed to eat and it gave her a lot of time to find things to eat. She stopped what she was doing as she was hit by another memory another one of a much younger Julia getting into trouble. "You dragged me into a closet and we ended up missing one of our morning classes and we got in trouble." she suddenly said looking over at Julia.

[Deleted]

Julia starts to giggle gently at the memory that Lara pops off. She had all sorts of memories from that time in her life. She can remember putting up with the crappy rumors, people calling names, other people thinking it was cool. She can remember that one christian girl telling her she was going to hell for being a lesbian slut whore.

"Yeah, Mrs. Venburry. English 2...Uhg, it was so long ago...like ten years...What ever, it was worth detention...your lips tasted so good."

She said with a coy pur of affection. She gives Lara a brief squeeze on her arm and a Caress, then she leans in a gives her a quick kiss before she hops into the back of her truck.

"Will you go get some water from the pond?"

She said as she pulled out a can of spam, a box of crackers, some powdered milk and some kind of water filtration device. She has some perfectly good jugs filled with clean water sitting there in the back of the truck that Lara can probably see, but clearly they're not for using now.

She tosses an empty jug to Lara, as she grabs a small propane tank and a bunson burner, which she sets out on the tail gate, by the time Lara gets back, Julia will be cooking up the spam.

[Deleted]

Lara had a faint smirk on her face as Julia gave her more details then what she had herself. She watched Julia jumped back in the truck wondering what she was doing until she told her she needed some water from the pond and tossed her a jug for the water. She caught the jug and wandered off to find the pond to get the water that she was requested to get. Julia must have a good reason for not wanting to use the water she already had in the back of the truck or she just wanted more water it was one of the major things needed to survive besides food. Or maybe she wasn’t alone and had just split up from a group or something and she was here because of her powers.

It didn’t take long for her to find the pond fill the jug and come back she placed the jug down before going over to her bag and grabbing her gun cleaning kit before finding a place to sit and set everything up making sure she doesn’t lose any parts of her pistols finding replacement parts would be really hard with how everything seems to be. Every now and then she did find herself watching Julia doing whatever it might have been either cooking or something else. She’d watch her for a while before looking away again remembering someone had told her it was kind of creepy when she did that because of her golden sliver eyes that even in the light had this weird glow to them.

[Deleted]

Julia didn't mind Lara watching her, occasionaly she'd bend over or blow the girl a kiss in hopes she'd see it and maybe react. She kinda likes Lara's new look, the veins were disturbing, but she's seen worse. All she can see when she looks at Lara is that tender, willful woman she fell in love with when she was a teenager.

She flips the spam she's cooking, she's cooking up a whole can of it, because basically all they have is crackers and spam. She has some ketchup but the three don't go together very well. She moves to the side of the truck and reaches into one of the compartments and makes a disgusted face.

"Thought so."

She muttered as she tossed out what was left of some cheese she found. It had molded beyond use. Stuff doesn't last long without cold.

"I really need to get a refridgerator for this thing."

Or maybe find a camper or something. Who knows. As she gets back around to tend to the spam, she finds herself staring absently at Lara. How did the future look now?

[Deleted]

Lara did watch everything Julia did bending over and all she did like what the red head was doing even though she didn’t really show it after all she never rejected anything Julia had done so far. Guess she wasn’t that bothered by the way she looked now that she could see her in the daylight that was a major plus for her. She didn’t really like the looks people had given her the few times she had ran into them. It made her think she really was just a monster and nothing more. It didn’t take her long to finish cleaning her guns she could probably do it with her eyes closed must have been something she was really good at in the past. When she was done she put them away before going over to where Julia was working having herd what she had said. She wasn’t sure how to get a refrigerator for the truck. But she did know something that could be better. “There’s an RV lot about six blocks north of here that still has a few in working shape that probably have refrigerators. We can check it out if you want?”

She looked down at the spam she always wondered what it was aside from smelling weird. But maybe it was one of those things you really didn’t want to know and just eat it or not. “Now that you found out why your powers brought you here what are you going to do now?” she looked away from the sizzling meat? to her friend. She herself never really had a set goal just wandered from here to there waiting for Natla to call for her it after a while it didn’t seem like she was going to. But she kept moving and waiting until she ran into Julia now she didn’t know what to do with herself. Last night she had decided to give up on waiting for Natla and stay with Julia that is if Julia didn’t run away screaming once she really saw her in the light.

[Deleted]

Julia's got a paper plate she's setting the cooked spam slices onto, she can only cook two at a time with the small metal plate she has sitting over the bunson burner. She watches as Lara comes back and she waves at her with a smile.

"Decided to clean your guns huh? Don't they need special oil?"

She asked softly, before she glanced at the jugg of water, she takes it when its offered and goes about making powdered milk into actual milk, The flavor isn't the best, but it's milk with breakfast and it's good to keep up calcium in the bones. So Julia had been making herself drink it.

"I'm going to go back to searching for my daughter...I know she's alive out there some where...and I'm going to find her."

She said with subtle but powerful determination. But then she switched gears to consider what lara had said about the RV.

"I'm not sure an RV is mobile enough, they're too awkward, i wouldn't want to rely on one too much. It would be easier to fit this truck with a small fridge than transform and RV to be as road warrior as my truck is."

The truck was impressive, it had thick steel panneling for armor and all terrain wheels, a 8 letre V8 and an extended bed and a spare gasoline tank. There's a tool box attached to the back and an extendable canopy for when it rains. She's made all sorts of other customization to it. Clearly she's become attached.

[Deleted]

“I know my way around guns so I make sure I have everything I need to clean them.” She always went out of her way to find everything she needed to keep her guns clean and in working order those monsters weren’t the only things she had to worry about even though she too had powers that she mostly used on her guns to make them more powerful or to help her get from place to place that a normal person couldn’t do. So she’s looking for her daughter? That explains something’s. “Have you tried the Avengers or the Justice League? I’ve heard people say that they show up every now and then looking for people to take back to their bases.” Julia’s daughter could be with either group or somewhere else.

“Okay you have a point but what are you going to do when you find your daughter? That truck isn’t big enough for everyone plus holding everything you might need for where ever you might end up going after finding her.” Julia might love the truck but room was still going to be an issue that she would have to deal with sooner or later sooner would probably be better then later because you never knew what might happen later on.

[Deleted]

Lara was right, but not completely. She'd given thought to these things, she'd have to explain. As she explains, she carefully sets out crackers and ketchup along with enough spam for both of them, an even split really. It was hot food, it wasn't the best, but who could complain in a world like this? She sets all the stuff she used to cook aside, and sits on the tail gate with her glass of milk sitting beside her, and the plate in her hand as she eats with her fingers. She's delicate and gentle, not sloppy, but her fingers still get greasy.

"The truck is mobile, after I find my daughter, I'm going to make plans then for the future, until then, I need to do what ever that allows me to travel as best I can. The truck works for me...But if you're going to become a permanent addition to my caravan, then maybe we can get a camper trailer."

She didn't mind the idea of a trailer, since they were easily detachable, and still much more mobile than a whole RV. She continues to eat, enjoying the hot food, she saves this stuff for special occasions, usually she's just eating protean bars or tofu and raw plants. She tries to get all the bodies nutritional needs handled, thankfully her super human stamina allows her to stay in shape and healthy for much longer than the normal human, without propper nutrition.

“I think it might be better if we split up be safer that way.” She didn’t want to be around Julia in case Natla showed up she’d probably force Lara into hurting Julia and she couldn’t live with herself if she did that. So she’ll be alone again she could live with that at lest she’ll know Julia would be safe from being hurt by her. But something told her Julia was going to argue it thinking she’s talking about the monsters that have been running around. “I’m to dangerous to be around there are people out there that can force me to do things and I have to do what they tell me no matter what I think or how I feel about it. I’m just a puppet with a master that could show up at any time and force me to hurt you or worst for her own amusement.”

Forgetting her food she got up walked over to the truck and grabbed her bag. “It’s for the best we both know that.” she looked at Julia one last time before she headed off. She liked Julia she really did and wanted to learn more about her past but she just couldn’t risk it. She couldn't risk being around anyone for that matter.
