Johnny had never been good at reading women, not really, and Raine was completely opaque to him. Sue had told him once that he saw what he wanted to see, heard what he wanted to hear, when it came to girls. He looked at her, and couldn't see anything except whatever she wanted him to see, and he knew it. "If you're sure about it..." Maybe she had figured out who he was, finally, and didn't want him to go now for that reason. It wouldn't be the first time a lay had used him to try for a career in modelling or being a Kardashian-like celebrity, due just to proximity.

He was quiet while she bared that bit of her soul to him, not sure what to say, but having a similar feeling. He was a great guy if a girl wanted a good time, but not considered anything more than that. "You're exactly the kind girl I'm trying to keep away from. That instant connection, the thing were we have chemistry and end up in bed an hour after we meet...its left me feeling, I dunno. Empty. Lonely. I mean, I've got people in my life. My family, my friends. But not really anyone major in my life, because she wants to be there." He wondered if she thought it was weird that the two of them, both objectively attractive people, could feel so used and alone because of it.

She invaded his space, but considering what they had just done, it wasn't really anything improper. She looked like she might cry at any second, or hold back the tears, anyway, or maybe like she might try to scratch out his eyes. Maybe it was all a put on, but she was a great actress if it was, he thought. "Just coffee." He'd stay for now, and see what would happen.

"I was raised to be an assassin. I started killing people at a young age." She said, she sipped her coffee. "I was married before. Connections are weaknesses." She poured him a cup of coffee.

Raine looked at him her eyes full of sadness, "I loved him....he was also the first persn I killed." She said looking at her mug. Raine looked reflective into the mug.

"I have never had family, I was raised by nannies and bodyguards. You're lucky." She said feeling a little jealous that he has family and she has never.

Raine looked up at him her eyes looked sad, this wasn't and act.

"An assassin? Do you have, like, a codename or anything? Should I have heard of you?" He sounded unafraid, because he was. Assassins really weren't his thing, and he wasn't exactly Captain America in a fistfight. But he had stood nose to nose with Doom and the Submariner. Maybe she was putting him on, maybe she was being honest. It felt like she was being honest, sort of laying her cards out on the table and seeing if he would call her bluff. Or maybe daring him to hear the ugly truth and stay anyway. She didn't know who he was, he was pretty sure. Nobody would tell the Torch that they were an assassin, would they?

"I don't think I'd call connections a weakness. But we move in, uh, different circles." He wasn't terribly surprised at her admission that she had killed, it was, after all, what assassins did. "So...why tell me? Or are you planning to kill me now that you've gotten all that off your chest?" Unspoken was his real question: What do you want from me? He didn't move, and if anything, sounded a little bored. People had been trying to kill him for fifteen years. What could this one woman do?

"Maybe. I hated how my sister would interfere in my life when I was younger. She still tries to, just a bit less. But she took care of me when our father went to prison, so its hard to criticize her about how she tries to mother me." He went over to her, sitting down beside her. "So do you think about your daughter and her father as weaknesses? Just something that someone can use to get at you? That's a pretty crappy way to go through life."

"The good assassins, you don't know their names." Raine grinned mischieviously. Then he asked the real question, why was she telling him this. That answer wasn't so easy. Raine didn't really know, she knew she wanted something more. She didn't want Jake, Jake and her had been like oil and water. When they were together and in passion, they were good but domestically they weren't.

"I don't know, I think I want more..I wasn't good with my ex..he was a real boy scout. Yeah they can be used against me...well my daughter can. She is better off with her dad.

"At least you have your sister, my father killed my mother, I was raised by bodyguards and nannies." She said and looked down. Raine looked at him and sipped her coffee. "Oddly, I feel alive with you. This is the first morning I haven't cracked open a bottle of wine at 7am." She said softly.
