She smiled at his comment about using her gift.
Apollo followed Colton down the street, her boots in hand. She watched as they passed a few houses, trying not to imagine who lived there before the plague happened.
"I just need to worry about this moment in time, not the one before, not the one after." She silently told herself.
They stopped in front of a house, he grabbed her hand, and she followed him inside. She loved having another guy touching her hand. It had just been so long since anything remotely like this happened.
Walking through the living room she glanced at the pictures on the walls. It seemed a young, new married couple lived here pictures of their wedding hung in the hallway. The girl with long brown hair looked stunning in her white dress. Apollo turned her attention back to Colton when they stopped, and he asked her to close her eyes.
"Alright, sure." She smiled, closing her eyes as he suggested.
"Just don't run me into a wall please" she teased.

Colton watched as she closed her eye. "No promises." He said joking around with her as he gave a small chuckle. Colton opened the door real quick and then moved behind her. He grabbed hips to lead her and make sure she didn't hit any wall. Walking into the garage which became a little colder then it was inside the house. "Alright hold still and no peeking." Colton said walked over to a Motorcycle which had been cover up with a older cover which still had dust on it. Colton had been waiting to pull of the cover and take a go look once it was free to roam the city. But he decide this was a better time. He knew one thing was that it was a older Davidson, which back in the day was probably worth a lot. "Alright you can open your eyes now." He said with a smile on his face.

Apollo was lead blindly into the garage it seemed, her feet now touching the cold cement beneath her. Her hands came up to rub on her arms, trying to warm herself.
She kept her eyes closed, trying to think of the things he could be showing her that were in a garage. Maybe a car? A bike? Perhaps even a motorcycle.
When he told her to open her eyes she eagerly made them snap open, and squealed happily when she saw a bright red Harley Davidson in front of her.
"Oh my God! This is fantastic!" She squealed, rushing forward, touching the cool metal surface.

Colton smiled when he saw her squeal happily. He had hope this would get her mind off everything that made her sad. "Well what did I say it would make you happy." He said with a smile. "It pretty amazing, still looks brand new, though from the looks of it, it might need some working on just to make sure it safe." He said looking at it. From what it looked like it was needing a tune on the breaks, it probably need new oil and gas. Their could be other stuff but Colton couldn't tell until he got on the bike. He looked at back her as she just stood their happy and smiling. It made Colton feel pretty great that he was able to change her mood.

"Oh I hope it works! It's beautiful!" She smiled, her hand sliding now into the leather seat. She threw her boots down, then grabbed the nearest handle bar. Throwing her leg over the bike, she sat on the seat.
"Does it look good on me?" She asked, looking back up at Colton.
She rode about two motorcycles since the plague was released. The first time didn't go too well, she wrecked in the middle of the road, getting scars all along her side from the road rash. But the other time she was being chased by Berserkers, and she wasn't about to leave a beautiful Harley out to a bunch of crazies to rip apart.
"I just want to go out and ride right now. I'm so eager to hear her run." She smiled, trying to remember the last time she heard the purr of a Harley motor. It always sent chills down her spine.

Colton smiled. "Ya she sure is a beauty, I'm sure it will work it looks like it has been taking good care of." Colton said over it everything was right on it. It had to be the best looking Harley out their. "Ya it looks good, make you look badass." Colton said with a chuckle. He though about the process it would take to ride this with out getting killed. "Well right now isn't the safest in the morning would be better, also I know a place we can take it to make sure if it does need anything it would be there." Colton said grinning thinking about his old automotive shop, he had been there so many time to know it still had everything in it. When Colton did leave he made sure he locked it up real good just to make sure nobody not even him could get in. "But right now we should get some food and sleep." Colton said looking at her and then the Harley.

Apollo nodded, "I wonder whose bike it was. The husband or wife's?" She asked, sitting on the bike.
The handle bars felt fantastic under her touch, like the bike was loving her touch right back.
"Yeah," she agreed, knowing right now would be the worst time to go out riding.
She dismounted the bike, reluctantly leaving we new found happiness.
"We should probably get some sleep. I'm pretty hungry too" she stated, looking up at Colton. She bent over to pick up her boots, and then carefully slipped them on.

Well It was the husban bike." Colton said looking at it he knew this bike pretty well just because he wouldcome to Coltons shop because Colton knew what he was doing and he would do it right. "Well let go into the kitchen and ill see what I'm able to put together." Colton said heading for the door to the kitchen, "And after we are done eatting we can get some sleep for tomorrow." Colton said a little excited, he was probably going to let her have the couch while he took the ground.

Apollo followed him closely out of the garage, making sure she didn't run into anything although she had her eyesight back now.
"So I'm guessing you knew the people who lived here?" Apollo asked, closing the garage door behind her.
She avoided looking at the pictures in the hallway this time, not wanting to begin wondering on how they died.
Their house still looked newly-moved into, everything was in pristine condition, except for the fact that dust coated everything like a layer of varnish. And spiderwebs so thick you couldn't tell what color parts of the walls were.

Colton looked back at her and then at the kitchen. "I guess you could say that, the man would bring his bike in once a month just for me to check it out and make sure it running right". Colton said looking in the cabinets and the fridge. Their was frozen meat about a pound and a half. Colton looked back at her. "Have you ever tried a BBQ hamburger." Colton said with a grin on his face looking at all the ingredients it took to make homemade BBQ sause.

"I see" she spoke, walking into the kitchen. She made her way over to the counter, and pulled out a chair. She brushed off the dirt off that had gathered there over the years. She hopped up onto the seat, and leaned forward, her elbows on the table top and her chin resting on her fists.
"I haven't had a hamburger of any sort in a very, very long time" she smiled. Her stomach growled happily, wanting a burger now.

"Well I guess today is your lucky day because I'm master at these." Colton said grabbing a big bowl and cleaning it out first. He then started at in the ingredients and mixing them together. Once he was done Colton grabbed a small spoon and tasted it. A smile grew on his face it was prefect it was sweet and tangy it tasted amazing. "Man this is perfect you want to taste". Coltonasked looking back at her real quick and then grabbed the meat which had thawed out. He made them into medium patty ball before he would smash them down. "This will be the best meal I have had in a while." He said grabbing a large frying pan and turning on the stove it was a little old so it a couple times before getting lit.

Apollo reached over to the bowl, dipping her finger into the sauce. She put her finger into her mouth, and smiled "that's fantastic. I haven't tried actually making a meal from what's been in someone's fridge before. I might need to start doing that more often" she stated, sitting back in her seat.
She brushed her hair back, her short golden locks falling back into her face.
She pulled off her red sweater, and laid it onto the hair beside her. She rolled up the sleeves of her shirt, the inside of the house a bit warmer than the cool night outside.

Colton smiled. "Well if you are ever wanting to learn different thing to make I'm a pretty amazing cook just saying." Colton said laughing. "Plus I wouldn't mind cooking for you again, it pretty fun." He said looking over at her and then the pattys. "You want to help me with the best part of this, we get to be messy and put the patty balls into the bbq sauce and make sure it get all over it." He said looking at her, their was other ways the colton could have done it but only one brought a smile to his face.

"Of course! I love to get messy!" Aoollo smiled, jumping up from her seat and walking over to Colton's side.
She grabbed a patty ball, the moistness of the meat between her fingers felt odd. But she just went along with it.
"So I just dip it in the sauce?" She checked, pointing to the bowl of brown sauce in front of her.
