DAVE: -he waits for everyone to evacuate the meeting room before saying anything, remaining in his seat until only he and jade remain. unless jade already left, then he'll be catching up with jade in the hallway- so you just wanted to

DAVE: tell me that at the same time as everyone else

JADE: -she's quiet as everyone else leaves, and then she knows she can't avoid this. she doesn't really want to, but...-

JADE: i... wasnt sure how anyone was going to take all this

JADE: especially you

DAVE: so im caught completely off guard

DAVE: i still dont understand what you

DAVE: i know what youre doing but why didnt you talk about it with me or

DAVE: make a decision about dove without me or

DAVE: -he bites his lip momentarily and looks away- where are we

JADE: im not making the decision without you

JADE: at least not... where you two will be

JADE: but i know i have to go

JADE: and i know here is where she can be safe

JADE: i know this is what i have to do and i didnt... want you to try to talk me out of it -glances down at the table-

DAVE: -he swallows, trying to keep his thoughts coherent- isnt that the point of this though DAVE: to be on the same page

JADE: ...im sorry dave

DAVE: so i have to choose between you and her

DAVE: its not like shes safe here

JADE: its the safest place for her right now JADE: if we can keep them from trying to make another charge at earth it can stay safe, too

JADE: alternian forces are leaving

JADE: for now we beat them, but we cant let up

JADE: we have to fight for earth but i dont want to force her into it

JADE: i dont want to force anyone into it

JADE: were finally at a place where we arent being strung along by anyone else... where we arent the villains

JADE: but we made that happen and shes not just going to let us go either

JADE: especially not me, with everything i know

DAVE: -he knows she has a point but there are aspects of this that are tearing him apart inside- what are you wanting me to do

JADE: i dont know

JADE: just... whatever you have to do

DAVE: i still dont

DAVE: is this because youre mad at me or something because we can work that out

DAVE: im a dick im a pro dick but i wont do whatever it is again

JADE: no its not—

JADE: -she squeezes her eyes shut, shaking her head- its me dave

JADE: its just me

JADE: im finally figuring out what i need to do because ive been bottling it up for so long because i—

JADE: i love you and dove so much

JADE: all i wanted was to be there and take care of you

JADE: but i cant do it the way i was anymore

JADE: not when things are like this

JADE: i forgot how to fight... even against myself

JADE: but i dont want to have to keep fighting myself

DAVE: -his eyes are watering. he wishes he didn't understand, but he does. and he wants her to be able to have everything, to be able to protect herself if she needs to. who's he to talk that away from her? his voice cracks a little- i love you too

DAVE: i dont want you to have to fight yourself either

DAVE: youre always so strong you know

DAVE: i want to be on your side no matter what so

DAVE: -wipes his eye quickly- this family thing isnt really working out is it

JADE: dave...

JADE: -she stands up, circling the table just to be closer to him, to lean on him and wrap her arms around him-

JADE: its been great

JADE: as wonderful as it could be

DAVE: -he doesn't hesitate or push her back. instead, he tightly wraps his arms around her- i want you to do what

DAVE: you need to do

DAVE: im always going to support you and be friends and shit and

DAVE: jesus this is

DAVE: really hard

DAVE: but jade you changed my life

DAVE: you made me a better person

DAVE: and its time you took care of yourself and if you gave yourself even a portion of what you gave me it would be more than enough

DAVE: you deserve everything

DAVE: you deserve all of it

JADE: -she's quiet then, and the emotion cuts deep and raw and real in all his words, bouncing still off the corners of her mind and filling up the empty spaces. She's resolved, but still her eyes sting, her vision blurs and she feels... everything.-

JADE: i dont regret it

DAVE: i dont either -it's an instant response-

DAVE: harley you were always meant to do amazing shit

DAVE: and im gonna miss you like hell but theres no way im gonna

DAVE: keep you from what you know you gotta do

DAVE: just maybe consider keepin me on your booty call list

JADE: -fucking snORTS-

JADE: shut up dave

JADE: -presses a hand against his face and angles his head just to kiss him-

DAVE: -he returns it and doesn't take it for granted in the slightest. he wants to savor it while it's happening. his heart is so heavy but he's not going to let that show-
