Siva Outbreak, Mopping Up.
Brogue-4 was the first up. He couldn't sleep. He sat on a couch with just his boots and his gloves on. He lay back. The team fought a potential source of the Siva outbreak. Twice. Yet he felt like he failed. Beth walked to him, barely dressed herself.
"Come to bed honey. You look like you're only half charged." Beth said.
"I can't yet. We fought so hard, risked our lives, and all for what? An achievement that no one will recognize. The Blind Well was a fluke. We destroyed the Heart of Siva. And soon everything will go on and no one will care." Brogue-4 said.
"Not true. Petra Venj noticed. She almost had a heart attack. Eramis has me under a death mark and Shadow under her control. We made waves." Beth said kneeling on the couch.
"I know. The wrong kind of waves. And what's bothering me was this one weapon. Last I knew I gave it to Veriks. I knew he'd need it. Now I have another, along with a gladiator's vambrace. Both were meant for you. My treasure hunt was a joke. One big practical joke." Brogue-4 replied.
"I don't think you're a joke. You're the most serious one here. I know you went through allot. It's Cayde isn't it? You had to fight Cayde, again." Beth asked.
"That's the majority of it. I fought him, won, but there was no treasure, nor any trophy. I'm tired." Brogue-4 said.
"Then come to bed. Rest with me. Let me be your prize." Beth said her arms draped across his shoulders. Brogue-4 let his head drop, into Beth's chest. Beth smirked. She brought him to bed.

Beth was the stronger one so she didn't mind carrying him. She laid him down, straddled him, and kissed his chest. She longed for him to have more energy. But that would come later on in the day after a recharge period. She held his hand, and kissed the palm. "I really love you Brogue. I know you can hear me. I don't need you to answer. Just listen. Saladin will notice. He will honor you. I will honor you forever. I know your pain. I fought for honor in the arena. I lost. It pains me to see you suffer but I suffer too. I know that last fight was just a distraction. But I too was disappointed. We did the right thing and we survived. I know it wasn't fair for you. You won't believe me, but you are my king. My King of Clubs. You tell me that I don't have to worship you. But I do. That's why I need you asleep for a bit longer." Beth said. She then went to a drawer, and pulled out a stencil of a club. She then taped it to his chest. She put on a rebreather, and an apron. She shook a can of black spray paint. A few minutes later Brogue-4 was sporting a club on his chest. When Beth was finished she pulled off her rebreather and kissed Brogue-4, now Brogue-5 on the mouth. She pulled off the stencil. Her ghost appeared and repaired him. "I know you will forgive me, my king. I am your Queen." Beth said. She took off her shirt. She had a red diamond on her chest. "I am your Queen of Diamonds. Rest now my love." She nestled up to him and pulled the covers overtop. It would be a long wait until Brogue-4, now Brogue-5 awakes. Hopefully he'd still remember who Beth was, and still is.
