Jak and Daxter OC story Chapter 16

Tension was high between Rown and Jak, she couldn’t figure out why Jak had all these abilities on finding and operating artifacts. “Hm..” Kor looked between the two and then at Torn. “What’s wrong with those two?” Torn shook his head silently.
Rown was glaring at Jak as she prepaired a bit of food for the small silent child, so much glaring that she cut her finger. “Ah..” She said quietly looking away from Jak who was only glaring back at her because he didn’t know why she was glaring.
“Are you alright?” Torn was to his feet in an instant.
“Sheesh! You don’t have to loom over the girl!” Daxter said as he made Rown give him her finger and tied a bandage on it.
“I’m alright Torn, just a little cut.” Rown smiled up at him. She gave the child his food and he sat next to Jak to eat it. Once again Rown shot Jak a glare.
Torn looked at Rown kind of understanding what her looks were about. “Just be careful.” He said sitting down next to her.
Once the boy was finished Kor took him back to Samos.
“What the hell is with the dirty looks!?” Jak finally asked as he stood up.
“What looks?” Rown looked away towards Torn, who rolled his eyes.
“The dirty looks you have been giving me all night! What the hell did I do to make you glare at me!?” Jak shouted
Rown jumped her feet as well. “It’s because you get sent on all the artifact missions and I’m stuck here! I have studied Mar and the precursors my whole life and yet you’re the one who gets to activate or use the artifacts! What gives you the right!? I should be the one out there preserving these items!”
“Whoa hold on..” Torn finally stood up.
“No Torn!” Rown turned to him and shouted. “I’m serious! He got to Mar’s Tomb, the artifacts in Heaven Forest and the eco mines! And don’t get me started on the statue of Mar and the Key! That he lost to Krew!”
“Look Rown! I’m given a job, and I do it. It’s that simple. Why the artifacts activate for me is just as a mystery to me as it is to you.” Jak sneered.
Torn inserted himself between the two. “Look you two, I’m not going to sit here and listen to you fight, Rown, you no longer have missions until you are completely healed and even then it would be a last resort mission. And as for Jak, his jobs from Krew are out of my hands, the only thing that affects us is what Onin send him out to do and for some reason she chose him.”
“So ask the old bag because I don’t have an answer for you.” Jak said turning to the door.
“Sorry sweet cheeks, Jak has always had some sort of… special touch when it comes to this stuff.” Daxter smiled hoping it would make her feel better.
“We don’t have time for this Dax, lets go.” Jak said looking over.
“Thanks Daxter.” Rown smiled as he followed Jak out the door.
Torn stood behind Rown and wrapped his arms around her. “Hey… once this is all over you can study all you want, I’ll make sure you have the space and means to do this. I know this is what you want, I’ve seen you studying before in your dad’s office. How you looked so focused yet so happy with that dusty hunk of metal in your hands.”
Rown smiled at his words. “You make it sound like you’re going to take care of me.” She blushed a bit.
Torn placed his chin on her head. “And? I promised your dad I would.”
Rown turned around to look at him. “I don’t want you to be with me because on my dad…” She said sternly. “I want someone who wants to be with me for me, not who my family is.”
Torn took a couple seconds to respond but instead of words he leaned down and pressed his lips to Rown’s harder than ever before, Rown froze for a moment wide eyed but as soon as he pulled her to his chest she closed her eyes and returned the passionate kiss.
Their lips moved along each other, for quite some time, like all the word’s Torn couldn’t speak came forth in the kiss. Rown let out a small moan into the kiss surprising herself into a gasp, but the parting of the lips didn’t last long as Torn brought her back in for more, he lifted her and placed her on the table as he leaned into her more.
“EH HEM!” Rown jumped at the sound and looked over Torn’s shoulder to see one of the underground guy’s walking in, her face was beat red as Torn turned around.
“Right… here’s your next mission.” Torn got right into work as if nothing had happened while Rown hopped off the table hiding behind him still embarrassed and red. “Don’t screw up this time!” Torn sneered.
“Whatever.” The guy took his papers, practically snatching them out of his hands.
“I’m serious, if you screw up one more time you’re out! We have too much at stake!” Torn retaliated back.
Without another word, just a glare… the man turned and left. Once out into the alleyway he got out his comm unit. “Edje…”
“So… more news?” The man on the other end of the call questioned.
“Yeah… caught her sucking face with the commander.”
“Really now? Well that complicates things on my end… keep it up..” Edje hung up. He leaned back against the wall.
“Well?” A voice from the shadows called to him.
“I’m going to call her.” Edje said as he dialed Rown’s number.
…
Torn turned back to Rown, seeing her blushing face made the anger he had melt for the moment. “Where were we?” He snaked his arm around her pulling her to his chest.
Rown’s breathing was rapid as she looked up at him through her long lashes. “T-Torn… aren’t you busy..?”
“Yeah..” Torn leaned forward and kissed at her neck. “Can’t you see?” He teased a bit.
Torn’s demeanor was like the opposite, his touch was sweet, his words weren’t harsh and it all made Rown’s heart jump from her chest.
Then her comm unit buzzed… “W-Wait… it might be Kay..,.”
Torn groaned and leaned away as Rown got her comm unit out. “Is it?”
“No.. but it’s a Kras number…” She looked up at him and slowly answered “H-Hello…”
“Rown… my love, my darling…” Edje said with a sinister tone. “Why would you break my heart once again being with that low life commander?”
“E-Edje… you never had a heart to break to begin with!” Rown held back her tears as she and Torn silently fought over the comm unit. “You only care about yourself and the money you get from my uncle.”
“Not true Rown, I love you.”
“I don’t love you…. Never call me again… and your little spy will be returning to you shortly…. I’ve already figured out who it was. I’m safer here in a war zone than I am in Kras!” Rown hung up and threw her comm unit into the furnace, it sparked as the flames engulfed the metal and plastic until it was nothing but a melted heap.
“Rown?” Torn asked.
“That man that was just here… hes a spy from my uncle! You have to get rid of him please!” Rown begged as she shook with fear.
“Right…” Torn got on his comm unit to inform Asheline. “But as for you…” He kissed her forehead lovingly making her stop shaking. “Maybe… maybe you should go back to Spargus…”
“M-Maybe…” Rown leaned against him as he held her close.
“I’ll take care of the Kras guys, you rest in Spargus… you still need to heal and Kay will want you back.” He chuckled a bit. “I’ll call her and let her know.”
Rown nodded as Torn rubbed her cheek and got his comm unit out to call Kay.

“I swear! If you’re calling me to tell me that Rown is hurt again I’m going to come hurt you right in your stupid bitch face!”
Rown couldn’t help but to laugh at Kay as Torn sighed. “No… But’s shes going back to Spargus…”
“Oh… Ok I’ll have Sig pick her up then, he’s coming back tomorrow!” Kay had a cheerful ring to her voice.
“Right.. also she doesn’t have a comm unit any more so call mine.” Torn said quickly then hung up as Rown looked up at him shaking her head with a small smile.
“What? She’s ridiculous to talk to! Worse than her damn brother…” Torn sighed and sat down remembering his long lost friend.
“She means well…” Rown placed her hands on his shoulders behind him as he sat. “She’s protective… and….. well yeah she’s ridiculous.”
Torn placed his hand on hers. “Don’t you worry about Edje… I’ll take care of him once we get out of this mess of a war…”
“Just don’t get caught up in the illegal activity in Kras please…” Rown sighed
“Nah.. I know what I’m doing when dealing with jerks like that, plus it’ll give me a chance to show off you ya.” Torn chuckled
“Like when you beat up that boot who cornered me that one time?” Rown giggled at her tease.
“Hey now! It was either me or your dad… pick one..”
“True… dad would have killed him… but you…” Rown wrapped her arms around him. “You had the whole military talking thinking we were dating.. but now they actually have something to talk about.”
“They defiantly will… so be ready for the best treatment of your life once I gain control of this damned city.”
“Oh Yeah? Gonna beat up any guy that looks at me wrong?” She poked his chest.
“Maybe not everyone… but no promises that I won’t.” He leaned back and kissed her.
“Sheesh Torn do you ever do any real work?” Asheline interrupted
“And one of these days we will get to be alone with no interruptions !” Torn shot a look at Asheline.
Asheline shrugged “Not really the romantic stop either, you should work on that too.” She sat down. “Oh and got your little friend out.. I’m sure he’s on his way back to Kras to cry to Edge about me.”
“Thanks Asheline, I owe ya one.” Rown smiled.
“No you don’t… I’ll never be able to make up to you what I did… you name it and it will be done Rown…”
“Stay alive and help us win over the city.” Rown smiled.
“Deal.” Asheline chuckled.
