After two less-than-perfect marriages, Slade has stopped focusing on relationships and turned to work. What was the point in giving energy into a relationship if it was going to end in divorce, right?
So, flings it was.
A few things here and there, but for the most part, Slade messed around with you. You were a good ally, a charming partner, and he couldn’t help himself. That’s all it ever remained as the years grew. Sure there were some times where his gaze lingered too long, or some nights where he ached to pry the needle out of your hands and stitch you himself, but it was never anything more than a friends-with-benefits kind of thing. No strings attached.
So, why did you have a *baby* with you?
“You’re kidding,” Slade deadpans, watching you stride into the stuffy motel room with a baby on your hip. It’s already cramped with the single bed in the center, but adding a child to the mix? You’re asking to sleep on the floor.
When you don’t reply immediately, his gaze narrows. “We’re on a mission. A *time-sensitive* contract, {{user}}.”
When he invited you to partner-up, he expected only you. Not this child to tag along. Yeah he’s had kids, but he’s *working* and he really doesn’t want to share a room with a baby that looks another word away from bawling. Slade isn’t completely heartless; children, much less infants, should *not* be around mercenaries, much less ones prepping to kill in five hours time.
God, is the baby *his*? Or did you pluck the damn thing out of the streets?
