TXT: Yeah. We can meet at the beach again. What do you have in mind.

He leaned his entire weight on her. Not breaking bones. He cannot bring himself to harm her himself which is why those scientists were there in the first place.

"Stop fighting. Not only does it waste time but risk injury for these hardworkers."
He kept looking at her being annoyed for how ungrateful she is. Made Colossus not wanting to loosen anything from her body. He felt this was an appropriate punishment for her.
"How often do you fight until stopping?"

He watched the defiance in Domino and how quick she was to fight against the process. He crossed his arms and refused to speak with her. After what she did he could not find words to really speak to her even after her protest against the scientist.
Colossus stared her down as he pinned both legs.

TXT: Tonight. You?

TXT: Yes. We can.

He didn't answer at first and only looked to the ocean. Listening to the waves and contemplated her question. He knew the answer but didn't know if it would be enough for her. "I do. After that day, I've come to see the error of my ways. We could have a good night but only if you love me?"

He was out of words too. Letting Domino have their fingers join together as he looked to the ocean. He relaxed having Domino with him out here. Felt like the days before he dumped her in the shittiest way ever, he missed that. "I miss you."

He always enjoyed the feeling of sand beneath him, getting to feel softness over all the hard surfaces he steps on. The ocean had a nice sound he was relaxed to, but /her/ being there made it better. He wanted to do better for her. "Real quiet out here..."

"Soul searching. Trying to find myself and understand love. No boy problems?"

"Illyana! Little one, it's been too long. What's new?" He's happy to see his sister!

"We could do that. Might be better than wasting our energy on drinks." He stood up after releasing her leg. Standing tall and mighty, a titan over her with his bright shine. His own suit had some specks and spots of dirt. "That makes two of us."

Da. They are in talking terms.

"A leap of faith together and see how it goes?" He finished his third drink, pushing it away. Done with drinks before he could even get tipsy. His head tilted while looking to her. His metallic hand brushing her thigh, giving that spread of warmth.
"One step at a time?"

"Do you think it will be our friendship coming together or something more?" He took himself another drink to down it without struggle. Twisting his neck while touching her thigh. " For me, I could see it becoming more than that. My eyes are not on Kate anymore." He lost that hope long ago.

"Whatever comes next for us will be quite the tale." he chuckled and kept brushing her cheek with his metallic hand. "What do you think is going to come up next for us?"
He knew it was going to be an adventure with drinking another sex on the beach, downing it with a grunt.

"I'm a little tense yes, but only from sitting next to you while you're looking this beautiful."
He relaxed with his hand still touching her head. He noticed that she was probably getting soft with him. Feeling that romance is maybe on the rise again.
"Do we ditch the drinks at some point?"

Her calling him out was funny to him. Colossus snickered at the efforts of the pale mutant. Getting his drink it was finished in one gulp. He turned his body and looked down to Neena with a smile. Holding her cheek with his hand.
"I'm only trying to survive, Neena. What do you mean?"
