บท 6: Accidental Voyeur

The next day, exhaustion seeped into Allison's bones as she made her way back to the sidekicks' quarters following a gruelling training session with Commander Stone. The man was an unwavering taskmaster, pushing them to their limits and then some. Her body ached for some respite, after a midday nap, she figured a little downtime with Zephyr would hit the spot, girl-talk would be nice.

As she approached Zephyr's room, Allison noticed the door ajar, swinging slightly open. Frowning, she called out, "Zeph? You in there?"

Her question was answered by a series of breathy moans and the rhythmic creaking of bedsprings. Allison's quickly realised Zephyr wasn't alone. The sounds of passion echoed out the door, betraying what was happening within.

Allison knew she should probably turn away, give her friend some privacy. But curiosity got the better of her, and she found herself edging closer to the partially open door.

"Oh, yes... there... right there!" Zephyr's voice, usually soft and gentle, now held a desperate edge.

The sight that greeted Allison caused her to stifle a gasp. There, through the crack of the door, she could see Zephyr, naked and bent over the bed, her petite form presented wantonly. Jetstream was behind her, his hips pistoning furiously as he plunged into Zephyr with fervour.

"Fuck, you feel so good, Zoe," Jetstream grunted, his voice laden with desire. "Take it, baby. Take it all!"

Zephyr's green eyes sparkled with a mixture of pleasure and pain as she pushed back against Jetstream, meeting his fierce thrusts. Her silver headband had been discarded, her usual neat hairstyle now a wild mess.

"Harder, Shawn," Zephyr begged, her voice hoarse and raw. "Don't hold back!"

Jetstream obliged, his hands gripping Zephyr's slender hips tightly as he pounded into her without restraint. He kicked his superspeed into overdrive, thrusting into her with blinding velocity. Allison's eyes struggled to keep up with the relentless pace. Zephyr's body was pushed to its limits as Jetstream showed no signs of slowing down, his hips a blur as he pounded into her with ferocious speed. Zephyr's moans turned to desperate gasps.

Allison was transfixed by the erotic display playing out before her. Was this was super-fucking looked like? She felt a familiar warmth creeping through her body as her eyes drank in the scene. She found herself intrigued by the intensity of her new friends' passion.

Jetstream's grunts grew more urgent as his rhythm faltered, signalling his imminent release. "I'm close, Zoe... so close!"

"Yes, right there!" Zephyr cried out, her body trembling on the brink of her own climax. "Come with me, Jet!"

With a final, powerful thrust, Jetstream obeyed, his body stiffening as he emptied himself into Zephyr. She followed suit, her body convulsing in ecstasy as she cried out his name, gusts of wind knocking items off tables and opening the door wider.

It was only then that the couple noticed Allison's presence. Zephyr quickly pulled the bed sheets up to cover herself.

"Ah, Nightsade, I didn't realise you were there," Jetstream said, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth. His comfortable composure contrasted sharply with Zephyr's evident mortification.

Allison stammered, suddenly very aware of her intrusion, "Oh, I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt. I was just, um..."

"It's quite all right," Jetstream reassured, his tone surprisingly calm. "Enjoy the show?" Jetstream laughed.

Zephyr, slapped Jetstream on the arm but otherwise remained speechless, her eyes darting between Allison and Jetstream. She fumbled with the bedsheets, her embarrassment evident.

"Well, I'll just... see you guys later," Allison said, backing away. "Sorry again!"

As she turned to leave, she could have sworn she heard Jetstream whisper something to Zephyr, who responded with a weak giggle. Regardless, she didn't stick around to find out.

Hours later, there was a knock on Allison's door. It was Zephyr. She tentatively opened the door, still feeling awkward about the earlier incident.

"Hey, Zeph," she greeted. "What's up?"

Zephyr stepped into the room, her gaze downcast. "Listen, Nightshade, about earlier..." she began, her voice trailing off.

"Don't worry about it," Allison said, wanting to put her friend at ease. "It's no big deal."

"But it is," Zephyr insisted, finally meeting Allison's eyes. "It's just that... Shawn, I mean Jetstream, and I, we've been a bit... pent up."

Allison motioned for Zephyr to sit on the bed next to her. "Hey, it's okay. You don't have to explain anything to me. We're friends."

Zephyr managed a small smile as she took a seat. "Thanks, Alli. I know this is all a bit overwhelming. Moving to Neo Haven, becoming sidekicks."

Allison nodded in understanding. "Tell me about it. This place is a bit of a pressure cooker. And it doesn't help that they put us in these skin-tight outfits." She tugged at the low-cut neckline of her Nightshade suit, feeling self-conscious all over again.

Zephyr giggled, some of her usual cheer returning. "It's like our suits are crying out for attention. No wonder everything is so sexually charged around here."

"Well, I'm glad I'm not going through all this alone." Allison smiled. "We should stick together."

"Definitely!" Zephyr nodded. "Speaking of which, I like Zeph, but you can call me Zoe if you'd like."

"Zoe is a nice name." Allison smiled. "You can call me Allison, or Alli."

The two spent the evening talking about their life outside of the Fortress. Allison told Zephyr about Mark, and how they had been dating since high school. In return, Allison learned that Zephyr and Jetstream met each other at a speed-dating meet up in a West City bar. Jetstream still joked about how speed-dating felt slow to him.

"We have a pretty solid trio going on." Allison admitted. "I feel like tomorrow we might only get our asses kicked by Commander Stone half as much as we did today."

"The new guy might help too."

"New guy?" Allison hadn't heard anything about a new guy.

"Yeah." Zephyr touched her finger to the corner of her mouth. "I overheard Commander Stone talking on the phone, something about late arrival coming tomorrow. He seemed frustrated that he would have to get him up to speed. Not that we are that far into our training or anything."

"A new guy huh? Wonder what he'll be like."
