She Wolf

[Selina Taylor]

    Selina grinned as she shooed out her latest conquest, promising to call him back while trashing his number behind the door. Seriously, what the hell did he think she was looking for? A goddamn relationship? Selina assured him once more that she get in contact with him “eventually,” and plastered on the fakest smile she could muster before insisting in a slightly less than polite tone that he should head out now, since she had some summer work to get done… which was also a lie, but whatever worked to get him gone was good enough for her.


    She closed the door and sighed, leaning up against it as she collected herself. Sometimes the sex just wasn’t worth the aftermath… and this was almost one of those times. What could she say? The boy was good with his fingers being a musician and all. Selina opened her eyes as a small smirk crossed her face, but froze as she realized she wasn’t the only one in the room. Since when had Devyn gotten back? And just how much had she heard?


    Selina almost flinched when she remembered just how little effort she’d put into reining in her passion. Shit. “I’m so sorry, I had no idea anybody was here yet,” she offered honestly. She’d thought she’d had the place to herself, which was partially why she’d insisted on him coming back with her to her dorm.
If she'd known someone was here, she would have been much quieter about the whole affair. She also did try to make sure that others weren't around if she brought anybody back to her bed. Selina was considerate in that regard at least. 

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn didn't really have that many interactions with any of her roommates, at least not like she used to before she came to college. Before she knew all of her roommates, talked to them, and even cooked for them. Now she talked to them more so in passing and would just label things in the fridge that were for sharing or what was hers. It was probably because she just got tired of people coming and going, the roaster just never staying the same. Devyn liked things a certain way and actually was not very big on change; despite going to a school where she had to deal with it a lot.

Now it just seemed that she was fed up with it and just didn't worry about her roommates too much unless the reach out to her first. That and well she had her girlfriend now; who often came over most nights to spend the night and hang out on other occasions. Dev of course knew of Selina; the girl who was her girlfriends friend, and she also knew that it was this girl that had been involved in that whole 'thing' tat Devyn was not trying to think about as she peeked her head out of her room to check what all the ruckus was about. She knew that Selina did sometimes bring people over; it was kind of hard to miss when you had keen sense and were a very territorial person.

Dev did not always like people who were not her roommates bringing other into the dorm area, but she dealt with it so long as the person didn't go near her room or her things. Dev had a small smirk on her face as she shook her head a little before Selina noticed that she had been there. "Yup, been in here for hours." Devyn pointed out, but she gave a small shrug after. "It's cool. I had headphones in mostly until now when I was getting a little hungry. Was wondering what was going on out here and if I needed to rip anyone a new one." Devyn responded as she hidden over to the kitchen area and pulled out some leftover spaghetti she made yesterday.

[Selina Taylor]

    Selina sunk to the floor, her back leaning up against the door as she learned just how long Devyn had been there. “I’m so sorry. I had no idea… It won’t happen again. I promise,” she offered sincerely, apologizing once again. She would make sure to be quiet regardless of whether or not she thought there were people here from now on. Selina glanced up at Devyn, slightly surprised at how good she seemed to be with it.


    When Devyn mentioned ripping someone a new one, Selina couldn’t help but laugh, “Almost, but not quite,” she admitted with a small smile. “He won’t be coming back here though. I think the invite got to his head,” she added with a wry grimace. The guy was lovely, truly, but her flirting never meant anything more than an interest in the physical, and he didn’t seem to be able to catch onto that, no matter how many times she’d told him, point blank, to stay unattached.


    Selina’s stomach growled as she saw the food, and she blushed a bit. “Hmm, I think I’ll join you if that’s alright,” she would have added some sort of innuendo about needing nutrition after a workout, but she was still slightly embarrassed about the whole situation. Normally she wasn’t one to care what other people thought of her, but her roommates were always a different story. She didn’t want to make living at Bellefonte any harder than it had to be. She soon got up off of the floor and made her way over to the fridge to pull out some of the soup that she’d made earlier in the week and put it on the stove to warm up a bit.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn's green eyes followed her roommate as she slid down to the floor with her back against the door. "It's cool. Not like I heard you climax or anything. Besides, you have to deal with Vera in here a lot. Almost every night...shit, you don't ever hear her do you?" Devyn pointed out before a realization hit her and she had to ask. She was normally pretty good at setting her room up just the right way that even if Vera did ever get a little too loud, it would mostly be muffled thanks to the things she had up on her wall and her overall room set up.

She would have felt a little bad if Selina had to deal with hearing anything along those lines and it would have been slightly awkward. Well, that was a lie. Dev had no shame in that sort of thing but she didn't want to do it on purpose or make someone uncomfortable. Perhaps it was time to start 'taking' her girlfriend other places. Selina seemed to like her comment on ripping someone a new one and was soon giving Dev a bit more of what was really going on. Ah, she had ended up with one of those guys that ended up getting clinging once they got that invitation back to the room.

It made sense why someone would think a person wanted more because a room was supposed to be someone 'area', but then again Dev was territorial so she probably thought a little differently than others did. "Well, so long as you used protection you won't have to worry about him making any kind of excuses about why he needs to remain with you or something like that." Devyn responded with a small shrug as she set made herself a plate of her leftover spaghetti and popped it into the microwave. She was tempted to eat it cold, but she figured she should heat it up just so she was not being extra lazy.

"I'm cool with that. No harm in eating and chatting it up with a roommate. Feel free to have any of the leftovers in the fridge. I'm going to be making some Salmon later tonight if you want any." Devyn responded as she sat up on the counter while she waited for her food to heat up. There was something tugging at Dev’s mind that she really wanted to ask. “So…you were the other girl that did that thing for that ass-face Karsen kid, right?” Devyn just went ahead and asked, unable to keep her anger out of her voice when talking about Karsen.

[Selina Taylor]

    Selina laughed lightly at Devyn’s question, partially in relief that Devyn was so laid back about everything. “Thanks. And even if I do hear anything, I just attribute the noises to my dreams,” she teased lightly. Honestly, she didn’t mind. Sex had never bothered her unless a guy was being an ass about it. Besides, she had visitors in her room almost as often as Vera came to visit Devyn, so really the only one to be concerned about would be the twin, but she hadn’t heard any complaints from him yet, so she figured things were alright.

    Selina chuckled at that, “Oh trust me, I never have sex without,” she replied easily. “Except for a rare few times in the past,” she then admitted, “But only because I didn’t have it on hand,” she added with a slight shrug. She’d made the decision recently to not even allow that type of thing anymore. There were just too many risks and she didn’t want to have to pay for an abortion anytime soon. Selina was positive on that at least. She would never have children for many reasons, all of them personal and none of which she felt like sharing with anyone.

    Selina hummed in approval, “Wow thanks. I have a few leftovers myself for now though,” she replied as she pulled out some rice and veggies that she’d made earlier that week. “Ooh, I love salmon,” she admitted easily, “but I also don’t want to intrude,” she offered sincerely. If Vera was coming over or something, Selina didn’t want to get in the way.

    Selina wasn’t much surprised at Devyn’s question. She’d known Vera’s girlfriend had had issues with what was going on, and when she’d found out that girlfriend was Devyn and that they’d be rooming together, she’d figured the topic would come up sooner or later. “I am,” she admitted calmly. She decided she’d let Devyn take it where she wanted to go as Selina could understand where her concerns were coming from. She didn’t mind answering questions or whatever else as she liked Vera and was quickly starting to like Devyn as well.

[Devyn Solway]

"Heh, cool. I'll take that as you are dreaming about me then." Devyn teased, giving a wink. What? That was just too perfect to just allow slipping by without using it for her advantage in some way. She was certain Selina would be okay with her teasing in such a way and understood that Devyn was all about Vera. In the past things might have been different but at this point Devyn was not letting go of her girlfriend any time soon. It was true that Selina had a lot of people come over, but so long as she kept them in her room and that they didn't hang around the common area too much, Devyn didn't mind.

She made sure to keep Vera mostly in her room, since that were was all the fun really would happen at and she could ensure Vera would be all her without any outside distractions. "Good. Too many things you can catch around here and that whole getting stuck with a baby thing." Devyn responded, happy to hear that Selina was smart about it. When Devyn fooled around, she used protection for both guys and girls and only ever stopped using them when she was in a relationship. In short, she didn't have any now that she was with Vera, but thankfully didn’t have to worry about either of them getting knocked up unless some other mutant turned dev into a dude or something.

"No problem." Devyn responded, enjoying her leftovers as she leaned back in her chair a little. The other girl didn't have to eat them now, but the offer was there if she changed her mind or was still hungry when the rest of her own leftover ran out. "Oh don't worry, you won't be. Vera works late tonight so as long as there is something left for her to eat when she comes over should be fine." Devyn responded, giving a small shrug. It sucked when Vera worked late nights and made Dev feel more inclined to get a job then too outside what she did for the school, but she was still debating it.

Then onto the important question, which Selina answered honestly and left it at that. Time to dive into it then. "So you two...she said that you guys didn't even end up getting to do much with it because I kept bothering her but like...well. I'm mainly worried about if that kid got any photos of her or you for it. I went to talk to him about it but he was stubborn." Devyn pointed out, just growling a little from thinking about it.

[Selina Taylor]

    Selina chuckled and nodded in response, “Oh, every night,” she replied with a teasing wink. Selina didn’t mess with people in relationships, and she had a feeling Devyn wasn’t the least bit inclined to do anything to upset what she had with Vera, so this was just harmless banter and Selina enjoyed every second of it. She was a social being and she appreciated being able to chat with Devyn like this.

    Selina then laughed as Devyn mentioned children, “Aye. Babies are definitely not anything I’m willing to deal with,” she admitted easily. “Besides, my mother would kill me if she knew I wasn’t having safe sex,” she added with a light laugh. Katerina had been one of the best people for educating Selina in matters of consent and safe sex with both men, women, and everybody else who fit outside of that.

    Selina nodded as she listened and smiled up at Devyn, “Then I’d love to. It gets kind of lonely eating all by myself,” she added with a grin. Besides, getting to know her roommate better would be beneficial in multiple ways, not to mention that Devyn seemed like someone she genuinely wanted to get to know regardless. She was also on the Security Squad, so teamwork and all that jazz applied as well.

    Selina then nodded her understanding, “It sort of ended up falling apart, so no he didn’t get any pictures. Karsen seemed a little too scared to actually use the camera on his own, and since neither Vera nor I knew how to work it and since you seemed uncomfortable with it, no actual pictures were taken,” she offered sincerely. And wow, Karsen stood up against Devyn? That was mildly impressive, even if she could easily understand the other girl’s frustration.

[Devyn Solway]

"Oh you naughty minx." Devyn responded, laughing a little as she still kept at eating her food. It was all in playful banner and Devyn was just happy that Selina was willing to play along with her. Of course if Vera had been around, she would not play in such a way to be safe. Vera trusted her and they both knew that they would not cheat on one another, but that didn't stop jealously all the time. Dev knew that Vera defiantly could not flirt with anyone else while she was around or there was going to be a problem. Devyn nodded in agreement when talk about babies was the current subject, knowing that she did want kids but not just yet.

She had to first get a job and get her general life together before that was in the plans. That and well Vera would be the one popping them out so that would also be her girlfriends call. Dev didn't say anything about the topic of 'mother' because that was a sore topic for her. Instead she just gave a nod as she finished what remained of her leftovers and moved to clean up her dishes. Like Selina, she was actually interested in getting to know the other girl a bit better and she seemed pretty cool. "Well we can't have that. So tonight you dine with me." Devyn responded, and would have flicked her hair in a dramatic sense if she had not cut it.

Oh well, she still turned her head as if she was doing just that anyways. She washed her dishes as Selina went on to explain what had happened and how things didn't really go over so well. The low growl still not going away at thinking about the event itself. "Good to hear. I only punched the kid and broke his laptop last time we talked. If he had more on him...was going to have to go back and do some more damage." Devyn responded, having no shame in saying that she would wreck the kid if she had to. he thought he was all big and bad but deep down he was a liar and she at the very least got him to be aware of it being a bad idea to mess with her.

"I've banned Vera from dealing with him. Is that bad?" Devyn asked. She had not outright said those words to Vera, but she had strongly implied it and things would not go well had Dev found out Vera was around the Karsen kid.

[Selina Taylor]

    Selina smirked, "You have no idea," she replied with a laugh. She then pulled her rice and veggies from the microwave and took a bite. It was heated up just enough so that she didn't quite burn her tongue and she was super happy. "Thanks. Looking forward to it," she added with a nod as Devyn mentioned dining with her, laughing at the dramatic motion. 

    Selina smirked as Devyn described her actions. Karsen may have been a friend, but she still found the entire situation amusing. "I can understand that," she offered easily. She'd just punched the ever loving fuck out of Tim Tawfeek, so yeah, she could get needing to break something... or someone. Jealousy wasn't something she'd ever struggled with but she could empathize with those that did. "I get protective over my friends in a very similar fashion," she admitted. She would kill anyone who messed with Seiji or Maya. It was really just that simple.

    Selina thought about Devyn's question for a brief moment, "I don't think it has to be. I think it mainly depends on what you both are comfortable with in your relationship," she offered sincerely. "So long as you're both honest with each other and upfront about things, I don't see a problem with it. If she wants to compromise though, I'd definitely advise listening, but if she's fine with it then I don't see why it shouldn't work out," she added.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn laughed at that. Okay, Selina was pretty cool and knew how to play with Devyn in the way that she loved. Causal flirting, teasing, and general just having a good time without worry about the other taking it the wrong way. She loved being able to do that with someone, it made her feel at such ease and relaxation. To be able to be herself without worrying about hurting someone’s feelings or upsetting them. "Anything in particular you want as a side?" Devyn asked. She had just been thinking rice but if Selina had anything in mind, she could try and add that in there as well.

If you were going to eat with someone and offered them food, why not make something else that they would enjoy beside the main dish. "Always good to hear I'm not the only one. I didn't even really know you then but I still didn't like the idea of some kid having those kinds of shots of my girl or you." Devyn pointed out. Now she knew why Vera was so cool with the other girl and at least knew that she didn't have to go try and fight Selina to make it known that Vera was hers. There had been an understanding that had been reached in a way between the two of them already, at least that was how Dev felt about it.

Dev listen to the other girl's view on the matter, nodding her head a little at the words. Yeah, she guessed she could understand that on some level. It was about team work and agreements, and all of that general relationship jazz. "True...she was pissed with me for fighting him but we made up so...think it will be fine so long as he keeps his distance." Devyn said as she set the dishes out to dry and then grabbed a seat again. "So, now we met officially. It think you are cool. Now what?" Devyn asked, chuckling a little as she watched Selina get her food ready.

[Selina Taylor]

Selina shook her head, "I'm flexible," she offered before taking another bite of food, "As you can see, I adore rice," she offered with a teasing smile. She really did, but whatever Devyn came up with would be fine with her. She liked all kinds of food and was open to trying anything and everything at least once. She also had a feeling Devyn was probably a good cook from the lerftovers she'd fixed alone, so Selina was interested in whatever she happened to feel like making.

Selina nodded, "Yeah, I've also recently had my own problems involving footage taken without my consent while I was in the shower," she admitted. For some reason it felt good to talk to someone else about it. "So I can definitely understand why you wouldn't want those going around," she added with a slight frown on her features. She wondered if she would have treated Karsen's proposal differently had she'd had her experience with Tim first. She couldn't know now, but it was an interesting thought.

Selina nodded and smiled, "I can help make sure of that," she promised with a wicked smirk. "Though, I don't think he'll be approaching you again regardless. I have a feeling you did well enough in scaring him off on your own," she offered with a laugh. Karsen was bold, but he wasn't stupid or one to get physical needlessly, or at least not the last time she'd checked. He'd been changing a lot recently and she wasn't entirely sure that she knew what he would or wouldn't be capable of. 


Selina smiled at Dev's question, "Well, now we can do girl talk, spar, watch movies, eat each other's food," she offered with a teasing smile, "Or go drinking or whatever really. I didn't have anything planned after doing him today, so I'm open to whatever," she offered honestly. 

[Devyn Solway]

The other girl pointed out that she was flexible and how she adored rice. Well, that just worked out in Devyn's favor then. "Well I was planning on making rice to go with it, so that works to both of our benefits." Devyn responded, having the mea now fully planned out. It would not take her long to prepare it and since the two of them had just ate; she saw no point in rushing to make it now. Everything was ready to the point that all that was involved was just washing the rice and cooking everything. She was already excited about it and hoped that her cooking skills held up. Not that she was really worried about them failing or anything, but still.

Wait, what? What did Selina just say? Did she just actually say what Devyn thought that she heard? It was a good thing she had long since finished washing the plates and was sitting down when she heard this news or else she would have broken a plate. "Who the fuck recorded it? You need me to go rip someone a new one?" Devyn asked as her green eyes turned a little darker. She was dead serious about doing it too if Selina gave her the okay. Just thinking about it made Devyn yet again think back to Karsen and thus brought back the growling and her need to just want to punch something.

"If you could, that would be great. I assumed you knew him as well but I could not tell you to stay away from him since I don't know you like that." Devyn pointed out. She still would prefer if Selina stayed away from the guy because if she even smelled the other guy on Selina she was going to lose her cool, but for now she kept that to herself and would just have to deal for now if she ever smell Karsen on her new friend. She was pleased to hear that she would have done a good job at scaring him off, because that had been the plan.

Then came time for them to figure out what they could do, with Selina listing a few ideas. "Let’s watch a movie, then I can cook, we can eat, and then go about our own things? Sound cool?" Devyn asked as she was already getting up to go into her room to find what movies she had for them to watch. Most of which consisted of Disney movies and a lot of rated R films.

[Selina Taylor]

    Selina grinned, happy that it had all worked out so easily. "It sounds amazing, and if you want me to help with anything, feel free to let me know," she offered sincerely. Selina actually liked cooking. It was something that often helped her calm down a bit and it was fun to make things that other people could enjoy. 

    Selina glanced up at Devyn's reaction and genuinely thought about her offer, "Thanks, but if anybody'll handle him, I will," she promised, her own gaze turning dark with unbridled fury. She paused and sighed, "Or I'll turn him over to the authorities..." she added hesitantly. She still wasn't sure how to handle this. She wanted to kill the bastard, personally. He'd been taking footage in the public bathrooms in the girl's dormitory. Girls as young as ten and eleven manifested and Selina hated to think about any of them having to go through that as well. Tim had even said the fucker had been selling the footage to others... And Selina seriously wanted to kill him, but she couldn't exactly say that.

    Selina nodded, "I will. I'll also let you know up front that he's sort of a friend of mine now, and also an occasional bed partner, but I promise that I'll never bring him anywhere near here," she replied sincerely. She'd even shower after she was with him if that helped Devyn out. She knew how triggering even the smallest of things could be and she wanted to be considerate of the other girl. 

    Selina perked up at the idea of a movie. "That sounds great! Any type of movie you prefer?" she asked. Selina liked most things so long as she didn't have to deal with too much damsel-in-distress type stuff. She also loved martial arts films and had a weakness for Jackie Chan, but she knew those were a bit specialized in terms of tastes.

[Devyn Solway]

"You can help out with the rice if you like. Since you love it so much I figure you are a pro at making it. I'm alright, but my skills mainly lie in cooking meats." Devyn admitted. Not that she was worried that she was going to burn the rice or anything, but Selina probably made it better. Dev had no problem admitting as much and while she preferred to do her cooking along, Vera had gotten her in the habit of cooking together at times. Plus it was also good to be able to bond with your roommate through cooking as well. Dev had bonded with a past roommate in that way before.

Dev nodded, happy that Selina would handle him or turn him over to the cops. So long as it got handled, Devyn didn't care how. She did kind of want to know who this person was, but it was probably best if she didn't. Devyn had a habit of taking matter into her own hands and knew that if she knew the person’s name she would likely look them up, track them down, and deal with them. She didn't have time to add more to her record so she refrained from asking anymore on the subject. Selina was then also up front that she was friends with Karsen and even slept with him on occasion. Dev could not help but make a face and look at Selina as if she had just said something crazy.

"With that kid? Not worried about that being illegal or like...catching something from him. He is totally a lair so don't just believe him if he says he is clean." Devyn said, having proof that the guy was a liar. Not so much that he had something, but she just liked to think that he was suffering from crabs and would never get laid. How unfortunate her roommate was laying him, but she could not and would not stop the other girl from doing it. So long as she didn't bring him around here and didn't smell like him, Dev would just pretend like it was not actually happening.

"Thanks." Devyn said, honestly pleased that Selina was at least nice enough to not bring him around here. Dev would make no promises to ripping the kid apart if she ever saw him again. Selina was up for a movie, and Devyn was already looking through her collection, in the mood for something with fighting in it. "Uh...I'm thinking fighting, old school even. Have you ever seen Ip Man?" Devyn asked, the movie was old, but she always enjoyed it.

[Selina Taylor]

    Selina grinned and nodded at that, liking that she could contribute. "Absolutely. I can do that," she agreed. "I may not yet be a pro, but one day..." she teased. She loved cooking with other people. Her mom had never been that great of a cook, but Selina and Maria had cooked together all the time when her mom was out working and it had been a great bonding experience for the both of them.

    Selina understood the look in Devyn's eyes all too well, which is why she refrained from going into more detail. She highly appreciated the fact that Devyn had reacted similarly to her though. It made her feel slightly better about punching Tim. Not that she really regretted it. At Devyn's incredulous glance Selina chuckled. "Trust me, he's legal and clean, though I always have condoms on hand as well," she replied. "...Why do you say he's a liar? If it's alright to ask?" she asked in curiosity. Karsen had always been rather honest with her... or so she'd thought. "And anytime. Seriously, if there's anything that ever rubs you the wrong way, feel free to let me know."

    If Devyn beat up Karsen on her own time, Selina didn't really have much against it. Perhaps that was a harsh view of things, but there was a reason she never messed with people already in relationships and pissing off people like Devyn was one of them. He had to learn that type of thing on his own though, she supposed. There was only so much she could teach him on her own.

    "Ip man? I actually haven't, but I've heard about it. I'd love to see it," she replied sincerely. Fighting movies were a definite favorite of hers.
