It was a picturesque moment, Bette carrying Tina in her arms. When they stopped kissing Tina said:”I don’t know how you can be so strong. But it’s damn sexy,” said Tina with a grin. Bette smiled and gave her another kiss before putting her in the car.

 

At the ice cream shop:
Bette had ordered chocolate and Tina vanilla. They were sitting on a bench quietly, both enjoying the others company. “So, what else?” asked Tina. Bette looked up to her: smiled and said:”Well, I enjoyed today with you. I hope everyday is like this one.” Tina smiled and pecked Bette on the lips. “I enjoyed it too. So when was the last time you hung out with our friends?” Bette looked up and wondered why Tina suddenly asked her that question. She chuckled and the replied:”Why? Did Helena and Papi say anything to you?”
“No. just asking. It seems like you haven’t spent much time with them. And even before we got back together you didn’t hang with us much, neither Alice.” Bette didn’t say anything so Tina continued;” Now I know you were helping a hero.”
“Yeah.”
“Do you regret her choosing you?” Bette didn’t answer quickly, she thought about it firs. Bette decided to answer honestly. “Well, there are times when I wish I didn’t have so much responsibility. But then I remember that if this is my destiny then I should accept it and not take it for granted. I’ve learned a lot about myself.”
“Wow, the Dark Crawler has had a great influence on you.” Bette then remembered that Tina still didn’t know that she was the Dark Crawler. She was regretting not telling Tina who she really was.

 

Months passed and things have been really calm for the Dark Crawler. Today Bette hangs with her friends. She has been playing basketball with her friends all day. Dana, Tina, Alice and Jenny are sitting on the benches watching the game.
“Your girl is fine Tina,” said Jenny. Tina looked at Alice before looking at Jenny and said:”Funny Jenny.”
“I’m not making a joke, I would jump her any day,” said jenny with lust in her voice. “Jenny back off,” said Alice getting irritated,”She’s taken.” Jenny laughed and said,” I don’t care; I can have anyone I want.” Tina was furious:” Listen Jenny, Bette is my girlfriend.”
“What? You feel threatened?”
“No! I feel fucking insulted!” Tina screamed. At Tina’s screaming Bette immediately forgot the game and looked at Tina. “What did Jenny do now,” Bette asked herself.
“What’s wrong?” Bette asked Tina coming to stand by the group. Tina turned around and hugged Bette tight. Bette knew immediately that something was wrong. She whispered to Tina:”What’s wrong sweetheart?” Tina didn’t want to speak, so Dana told came up to Bette and told her what Jenny said. Bette confronted Jenny immediately.
