Thank God for my training, I thought as I grabbed Maya, mere inched from throttling Joshua.
"One, Joshua, next time you do this, I'm going to let her kill you," I said. "Two, Maya, don't encourage him. Three, there was no need to insult Nicki and four, those who fight the most, usually get married."

I burst out laughing having accidentally heard Joshua's thoughts and covered my face
'Can't. Breathe'
I don't know why I'm laughing this much seen as it was pretty wrong but still... Hysterics!

"Hey!" I cried to my friend, "I can take care of myself. At least to the point where I don't need to be babied all the time. And don't look at me like that, because you were definitely babying right there!"
"Well maybe if you two would stop ACTING like ones I could stop being a mother hen around you two!" Doc shouted at both Mai and I.
The two of us just stared in shock for several seconds, our mouths opening and closing in a very good impression of gold fish.

Doc let go of me, and i stood still for a moment, before quickly whipping out a hand and smacking Josh round the head.
"Dont you dare think about me like that again!" I snapped, "EVER!" the non-telepaths looked a little confused. "That was justified." I said in my defense. "And now i'm done."

I just rubbed my head, trying to sooth the pain, not saying or thinking anything.

Much better. I thought, just to myself. Joshua is just like a kid- he should be seen but not heard... it was a slightly bizarre thought that i didn't quite understand myself... i shrugged, oh well.

"Finally," I muttered, taking my seat. "Honestly, you two, all this arguing is getting on my nerve. I don't care who started," I said loudly, cutting off the in coming arguements, "it's annoying and I, for one, can't wait until you sort the mess out so we can all have a peaceful drink for once."

I looked at Maya. Maya looked at me. I sighed, then shrugged at her, frowning a little. She, frowning also, just shrugged back, and inclinced her head to the bar. I mimicked the gesture.
With a dual sigh, which was not planned, the two of us saddled up to the bar again and sat quietly apart from the other. Then I turned to Doc and asked, "So what was in those crates you had me help moving into your basement at the Dojo last night anyway?"

Stupid Joshua. I thought sullenly, swiging my beer.

React or don't react. Childish behavior is what had gotten me in this position in the first place. So, rather than remark aloud that Maya had broadcast that thought of hers, I just thought silently, 'I heard that,' and left it alone.

I rolled my eyes as the childish ways of the entire situation. I felt like a babysitter or something as I ordered a coke and asked sweetly if I could have "Nicki's Special Treat" from Danny the latest bartender.
Gleefully I watched as he set a bowl of crispy m&ms in front of me and I picked up a handful of assorted colours to cram in my mouth
'Food of the heavens!'
Maya playfully rolled her eyes
'Are you the babysitter or the babysat?'
I pretended to be hurt and attempted to pout but found it was quite uncomfortable with all the sweets so I went with a glare instead
'Go argue with Joshua'
Doc glared at me
'Don't encourage them Nicki!'

I ignored them and just ordered another Mt. Dew while eyeing the food option menu. Wasn't much, but they had some good snack foods.
"Can I get some hot wings please?" I asked the bartender.
Then, with hardly a beat between handing over the menu, I turned and looked right at Maya, who'd been looking at me and had her mouth open like she was about to say something, but I beat her to it and demanded in a harsh tone, "What?"

"Nothing." I snapped back, turning away from him, and thinking about how he was easily the most irritating person on the planet, and frankly, i couldn't care less if he heard.

I got my hotwings and another Mt. Dew and for a while I just hung around the background, listening to everyone else's conversations, only commenting when I actually had something to add.
And I was not going to be the one to leave first.
