30Chapter 8

Amy

Finally getting some alone time and a break I took my cell phone from my pocket, not even my costume, but my street clothes that I barely had time to put on when my forced spa was interrupted by my imposed duty.

I could admit to myself and no one else 'Especially a certain ninja that I know who would be way too smug' that after the first ten minutes it was a very enjoyable experience, the shampooing was heavenly, the massage that I got during it, for the scalp and the facial rub made me concede that Benji had a point, I was too tense and didn't treat myself at all.

Selecting the casual ninja number I wait for the line to connect, pondering -while twirling a lock of my newly cut and treated hair- if I should book another afternoon in that spa, 'it did make my self-confidence rise up.' Sighing at that thought and who was the source of the spa, 'Another thing that he was right about, I suck at being a girl.'

"Not to sound annoyed, but is this important?" I heard Benji say after the line connected; his voice weary and a bit pained. "I am tired."

"I heard that you were busy this afternoon with the ABB breaking out Lung and the explosions." I replied, part of me wanted to chide Benji for his words, I was worried about him, but another reminded me that while fit he didn't have the fitness level and stamina for the amount of fighting that he did, I did watch some of the news feeds, he was using his powers like crazy. "I was worried about you, it looked like you got hit a couple of times."

"A few." He replied, I could hear him shuffling a bit on a chair or something. "Oni Lee managed to drop a few bombs close enough that even punting them away didn't spare me of the blast, got hit by some shrapnel," He chuckled in a self-depreciating way. "Of all days to not wear my fucking armored gear is the damn day that it would have spared me of damage, still nothing serious."

It was the first time that I had someone actually making excuses to not have me healing them. "Benji I saw Lung score a wing hit on your chest." I pointed out poignantly, I had nearly killed someone when hearing the 'play by play' of that. "Your body doesn't have the strength to tank that."

"The force is strong on me." Benji countered trying to sound calm, collected and wise, and I had to admit that he sounded pretty convincing.

"No sell ninja boy." I riposted. "Get your bruised ass to the hospital's roof and I will patch you up, if you can force some so called customer service onto me I can impose some employee benefits onto you, get here and get healed."

It was odd to be firm at someone, I wasn't one to argue much or force healing on others, but with Benji I felt that if I left him alone he would march to his death on his quest while still wounded.

"Fine but I am buying you something to eat." Benji struck back at me, I decide to take the hit and accept that. 'Our relationship is strange.'

"Spicy chicken burrito with the works, medium size, a large pepsi and some hot sauce sachets for me." I gave him my usual order for Mexican places, burritos were among my favorite foods because it was a self contained meal that could be eaten in a hurry without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. "Guacamole on the side."

"I will do another masked stunt are you aware of that?" Benji asked in a flat tone. "And will claim that it is for my girlfriend."

"As long you don't name me as it and only says that is for the girlfriend I am okay with that." I responded, I was coming to enjoy those little masked food runs of his, 'Maybe I should organize with him a run in while I am in costume, it would be funny to see the reactions.'

"Give me half and hour or so." Benji told me. "Taco Bell is okay?"

"Yes it is." I lick my lips at that, I love the Taco Bell hot sauce, other places just didn't have the same flavor.

Scene break*

Sitting at a bench in the rooftop I wait for Benji to arrive, 'I should have brought a coat.' The night was chilly and windy, a quiet whisper of a breeze and the sounds of the city's nightlife are the only sounds there.

"Honey I am home." And they disguised the approach of that fucking ninja that nearly gave me a heart attack and made me blush.

"How do you keep doing that?!" I bark at him, his appearance distracted me from my tirade and removed the wind from it, his mask wasn't as neat as it used to be, his glasses are scratched and dirty, his clothes, a beaten and old leather jacket is dusty, dirty and with spots torn, his jeans were dirty with dust, blood, dirt and sooth, his cap has a gash on the slightly curved bill and the crown has a cut from which she can also see the torn mask and his matted and messy hair underneath, the image of the playful ninja was ruined for me, it was clear that he was acting to lighten up the mood, but his clothes told me that he either didn't have time to rest or he slept with them on and I woke him with my call.

"Mad ninja skillz." Benji responded playfully, he raises his right hand and shows two large Taco Bell bags hooked on it, I did notice the damaged glove and how he isn't really holding the bag, but keeping it in place by hanging it the crook of his thumb. "Got your order."

"Sit down you big oaf." I commanded taking the bag from him, I knew enough about medicine and anatomy to guess why he was holding it like that, I had heard that Benji had to slice one of his swords at the middle of the hilt for some reason, and for him to need to do that it meant that something damaged something that he had a tight grip on, so his right hand was pierced by something. "Take your glove off and let me heal you."

"So pushy." He mock complained but obeys, first by sitting down, then by setting the soda cups on the bench next to him, finally by working on removing his right glove, undoing the small buckle on its inner wrist.

I hiss sympathetically when seeing the poorly healed hole on the back of his hand, it was still bleeding, 'hand wounds were also bad healers.' Taking his hand on mine gently I survey the damage.

Surprisingly enough while rather battered and bruised, there wasn't anything critical beyond his right hand, that hand had two shattered bones, one of which is missing a good piece, several torn tendons and nerves, fortunately not many damaged blood vessels.

"I am healing you now." I told him firmly, it was against my usual MO, but if he was forcing me to relax, I can force him to get healed, literally and figuratively.

"Okay." He replied letting me work my 'magic', first purging any foreign material, it wasn't much, but there were some, then fixing the damage, he had eaten recently so I had material to replace the lost tissues and bone.

"Bad day, huh?" I asked making small talk, the silence was unnerving.

He nodded at that. "Definitely, and started pleasantly enough."

"Ruined my afternoon and wasted that spa that you paid." I commented. "Got an hour or so of it and that was it."

"At least you got some." He replied, his voice much lighter as I removed the pain and strain from his system. "I did notice that they worked on your hair."

"Yeah, they fussed over it a lot," I confirmed, I had to endure a long sermon about caring for my hair and was given a long list of products to use to heal the damage and keep it looking good. "At least the manicure was done when things went sour." Having my nails filed and her fingers worked on with cutting tools weren't pleasant, but the results were nice.

"Considering a next visit?" Benji asked teasingly.

"Crystal already promised to drag me there again when things get calmer." I shrug, no point in denying that, Crystal has his personal number after all and could ask him for help to conspire to take me to the spa, 'I can see the two of them carrying me out of the hospital and to the spa tied on a spit like they show in old cartoons.'

I wasn't expecting Benji to chuckle, 'who am I kidding, I knew that he was going to chuckle at that.' I chided myself, "All done." I announced. "Let's eat." I am hungry after all or I wouldn't have demanded the food from him, that earlier chill forgotten.
