“  𝐇𝐄𝐘, 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐊,  ”  her playful voice echoes throughout the chrome-colored area. edges of her converse hang off the edge the bar with one foot grounded on the floor,  “  you look like you gotta massive head from up here,  ”  gwen was fully aware that there’s only so many places she can swing through before mark gets antsy enough to chase her down. it’s why she bothers to push the envelope a little more,  “  they should name a whole planet after you.  ”

Random Interactions & Awkward Actions

@hcrde​ said: “Could you watch where you’re going next time… asshole.” from Gar

she sits comfortably on their balcony, Shadow belly up on the floor & Theo laying comfortably by her feet as the blonde tans. summer sun warming her skin but the slight breeze keeps her cool as she reads, music filling the air through the speakers & she can hear Hades trotting from his perch on the table inside to his water fountain, & Gar letting Franklin go after their trek down the stairs — the newest addition to their family still too small to go between the floors of their penthouse freely & Ravenna still can’t believe she’s lucky enough to call this her life.

head turns, propping her chin on his bare chest as fingers idly brush back & forth on his stomach. they lay together in their bed, Shadow & Theo at their feet with Hades curled up on the pillow by their heads & Ravenna couldn’t be happier with the life they’ve made for themselves.

“ we protect each other. ” it’s a simple response & the only one that matters. together, they’re more powerful — feeding off of each other’s strengths & covering for each other’s weaknesses, a bond that’s forged by trust & love.

the plan is a simple one, a weekend away in her cabin to finally put an end to her incessant wondering if he feels the same way she does. heart beats freely in her chest when he's near, his presence alone drives away the darkness in her mind & while she is forever grateful for his friendship, there's something else there, something deeper & more profound.

body relaxes back in the large cushioned porch swing, pulling the zip - up hoodie she stole from him tighter when the cool night breeze picks up for a second. with a wave of her hand, the canopy above them retreated to it's storage container so they look up at the stars in the sky & Ravenna sighs, content in the moment as sea - green eyes pick out a constellation. " come here ! look ! " she reaches with her left hand for Gar's wrist & brings him closer, a finger points to the top most star & slowly connects the dots. " that's draco, the dragon. "

she shuffles a bit, getting up on an elbow & takes his own hand to trace the constellation when he doesn't see it the first time. " it's for Ladon, Hera's dragon who guarded her golden apples in the garden of Hesperides. " Ravenna places his hand against his chest, her own resting on top & fingers begin to caress his skin softly. " to complete one of his 12 Labors, Heracles killed Ladon in order to steal some of the apples. Hera was devastated & so she honored him by giving him a place in the sky forever. "

𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐎𝐓 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑, balancing between the edge and the city below hardly scared the cat; a care-free way of living a glamorous life. hanging around hell’s kitchen for too long was bound to gain the devil’s attention– for once, he wasn’t the one she was aiming for. instead, the big man that’s really running the city she had her eyes for. priceless items await for the cat behind marble walls and dozens of security but… that’s for later in the evening. the sun was just going down, a golden glow that covers across this concrete jungle of hers. she couldn’t help the huff of a snicker leaving her, rolling her eyes as if what the devil had to say was going to help her scurry into the next confession box,  “  so what?  ”  the kingpin had photos of everyone that was mildly a threat. it’s smart, practical to keep in his pocket. at least fisk would know that the black cat was on the prowl.
