Forgetting Again

"Where is the first aid kit?"

"Right above you." she said, then laid down on a seat. I quickly got it, then sprinted to her.

"How are you still living?!"

"I'm strong." she chuckled then winced in pain.

"Shh...... don't worry, I'm gonna take care of you." I said softly while stroking her hair.

The process of taking care of her wasn't pleasant either. I had to remove all of the bullets, and burn her stomach wounds shut. During this entire time, she only let out one scream, and it was only a small one. When I finished I gently wrapped up all of her wounds, while gently humming to her.

I kissed where all of her wounds were, then looked up at her. She was staring at me blankly.

"There, you are going to be okay." I said putting the first aid kit away, "How many were there?"

"36, all heavily armed. Actually surprised I'm not dead." she said, "It's one thing to fight them on ground with a weapon, but on the bike its different."

"Don't ever take off without me again! Seriously, you always leave me behind! We are partners and we are supposed to have each others backs."

"Oh honey, I don't work well with others. Besides, I'd rather me die than you. I have nothing to live for."

"Elsa, dear God! Listen to me for one damn second!!!" I yelled, "The only God damn reason I am living right now is because of you! I love you for fucks sake! Stop acting like you don't matter, that you are only a weapon or chess piece, because you aren't!!!!!"

"Well, that was romantic." she said sarcastically, "Jack, we are all chess pieces, and if you love me, you really need to seek professional help."

"Elsa..... Snowflake, listen to me. I love you more than life itself. Even when you remembered me, you thought I was crazy, but you did love me too. Remember when we were 19 and you pulled that sewer prank on me, you stuck you hand in the liquid nitrogen and I freaked out, or when I showed you my powers from the first time. When we were in Russia and I told you I'd give you my sperm so you could have a kid, that dance that scared the shit out of both of us...... don't you remember any of that?" I asked and Elsa was holding her head.

She looked up for a minute at me.

"J-Jack?" she stuttered out with wet eyes.

"Yeah Snowflake, it's me." I croaked out, then kissed her. She wrapped her arms around me and started kissing back like she used to, then her whole body went limb, and she fell back into the seat.

"ELSA!!!!!" I screamed shaking her. I checked her pulse, feeling her head, touched her lips, and nothing. She was breathing normally, normal temperature, and she was hydrated.

Then all of a sudden her eyes popped open and she looked around.

"Elsa!" I said, and hugged her, but she pushed me off of her.

"Who are you?!" she yelled.

SHIT!!!! SHE HAD THAT FATAL SAFE ADDED IN!!!!!!!

If she remembered me, everything of me would be erased from her memory again!!!!

"Elsa, it is me, Jack. I am your partner, we've know each other for a long time now. You sort of got shot a lot, and took a good hit to the head." I lied about the last part.

She looked really confused, but I went to the restroom and sobbed. She doesn't remember me again, I'm starting over at square one again.

Why?!?!?!

I sat in there for hours, until Elsa opened the door.

"Yo, if you are done with all your pity party, we have landed."

"Great." I said wiping my eyes.

"So, see you tomorrow.......... partner?" she said questionably.

"Elsa, I'm staying with you.... we discussed it before we left."

"How do I know you are not lying?" she asked glaring at me.

"Because I know you, ask me anything." I said while standing up.

"Okay.............. what is my biggest fear?"

"Nothing, you are a fearless woman." I said.

"What am I allergic to?"

"The full spectrum of human emotions." I said, and she chuckled.

"Last one, I had a best friend in 5th grade, what was her name?"

"That was a trick question, you never had any friends until the 6th grade, and his name is Eugene."

She looked at me blankly and nodded.

"Alright, come on." she said then walked out.

I let out another little stifled cry, then followed her. She already inside a car waiting. I jumped in with her, and she drove off in silence.

"So......." I started, but she cut me off.

"Cut the small talk idiot. We are not here to get to know each other, we are here for business." she said.

Well, on the bright side, our relationship hasn't changed, she still hates everyone's guts.

Anyway, I didn't bother talking the rest of the ride there, and when we got there her safe house turned out to be a fucking mansion!

"I thought you said you only had room for one person here." I asked.

"I meant that I could only tolerate one person, I'm assuming you were just the lucky winner." she said.

"Yeah." I said sort of glad she didn't remember that embarrassing moment.

"Well, pick any room you want. Get some sleep, cause tomorrow we make the plan and attack."

"Wait why are we doing it all tomorrow?"

"Cause I don't like staying in one place for too long."

"Right, looking for a home." I said, and she looked at me funny, "I told you, I know you better than you think." I chuckled.

"Just shut the fuck up and get some sleep. The others are arriving at dawn." then she grabbed her bag, and walked into her home.
