"Wait--so you're into the whole ghost thing, clearly. How did you get started in that? Is that a side effect of Quantico or...?" She trailed, curious to hear more about his life. Just because it was different for her doesn't mean it was bad. Plus Bennett was not the poster child for what she assumed the affluent were like. Sure, he might have called their room Chateau Bennett once--but it was endearing when he did it. "Oh ok, fair enough--not as cool as we'd like it to be. Got it." She had a smirk on her lips as she listen to him list off names. "Austen--that's Pride and Prejudice, right? Are you as into that book as your sister?" Oops--wasn't she not supposed to bring her up? "I mean, you have a talent of things that usually dont interest me into compelling topics." What the hell was that, Nic? Someone really needed to slow her alcohol consumption. "Oh no--let me guess. No Mr. Derby to sweep you off your feet?" She shook her head, joining his laughter. "I--I mean, I'd say it was normal? I went to prom, didn't get prom queen, but I only went because my bro--" She cut herself off quickly and cleared her throat. "Because it was something you had to do once. And also because it looked weird when a cheerleader didn't go."

"Yeah, that's another FBI secret that we're not really supposed to tell.  Ghost studies is one of the tougher courses, because the ghosts don't really do what you want them to do half the time," he smirked.  "No, honestly I've just always kind of believed in ghosts.  I don't really know what started it, but I did hang out in some pretty old buildings when I was younger.  Maybe that had something to do with it."  An impressed grin spread across his face, only faltering a little as the knowledge of what actually went down tonight tried to let itself back into his mind.  "Oh, really?" he asked, raising an eyebrow as he wondered what she could have been referring to.  He knew half of what he said usually probably didn't interest anyone other than him.  "You got me.  God, I pouted that I couldn’t show off what I’d learned.  It was all... grinding.  I didn’t know how to function,” he shook his head, sensing that she’d gone into territory that maybe she didn’t want to talk about.  “A cheerleader, huh?  I did not have you pinned for the cheerleading type, I’ll admit.” 

[bennettbarnes]

Consistency?  From a playlist?  Not in this house, apparently.  But here’s an adventure.

Basically over the course of this afternoon there were several songs that I heard or thought of that Bennett likes, so we’ve made a playlist.  It’s not as long as some, but I’ll just drop a link to listen here.  There’s a theme but there’s also some hard right turns in there, so good luck and welcome to the madness.

“Well, yeah–I’ve got to round out my resume somehow.” Nic shot him a look, slipping from her seat and shutting the door quietly, shining the flashlight on his clothes. “Besides, don’t tell me you’ve never done this before, Barnes. Dressed in all black, snuck around not so open areas, looking for things you think are there. You’re an FBI agent, this is like your bread and butter.” The blonde teased, returning his smirk with one of her own. Yes, she knew–she knew– his job was mostly involved with a computer and a keyboard, but if she had to be known as the cop who liked donuts, he got cliches too. Giving him another once over, she chuckled to herself over how stupid they probably looked. Even if they weren’t in all black, they were damn near close to it, and with their flashlights she was sure they could have been auditioning for a heist movie. Tucking the light into her belt–yeah, she had a utility belt, so what?–she pressed her finger to her lips and motioned for him to follow. “So,” she said after they had gotten past the entrance of the yard and away from any possible threat of security. “Spend a lot of time in Graveyards, Carolina?”  ( @bennettbarnes​ )

“Alright, you’ve got a point,” he laughed, leaning back against the car as he waited for her to lead the way.  “Though I will say that the last time I did anything close to this was the time in high school that me and a couple of friends rolled our friend’s yard at a sleepover.”  They’d come too close to being caught, but Bennett and his friends had laughed the entire time they’d hid in the bushes and waited for the coast to clear.  Bennett put his own flashlight into his pocket (he’d missed the memo on the utility belt), and followed her silently through the gates, trying not to make a sound until they were out of earshot of anybody else.  “Can’t say I do,” he admitted, able to count the number of times he’d been in one on one hand.  “I haven’t physically lost too many people, yet.”  He chewed the side of his cheek, trying to find a way to keep their conversation a little lighter despite their location.  “What’s your stance on the ghosts, really?  You think we’ll find anything out here?”

[bennettbarnes]

☠ - visit a cemetery at night (nic)

Bennett hadn’t really done Halloween-type things in a couple of years and he’d never been to a graveyard at night that he could recall.  But he also never thought he’d move to Chicago and reunite with his sister, so things had been unusual for him this year.  Dressed in all black, he climbed out of the car and grabbed one of the flashlights they’d brought with them.  “So, what?  You’re a detective, documentary aficionado, and now you’re gonna add ‘ghost hunter’ to that list?” he asked her with a smirk, clicking the flashlight on and walking around the car to where she stood.  “Alright, lead the way.”

Nic narrowed her eyes, looking at the man in question incredulously. At least he…averted his eyes? That had to be a decent sign, right? Not that, of course, she was unclothed but–oof, this was definitely one way to start the morning. “Bennett Barnes.” She repeated, the last name feeling a tad familiar, but in all honesty it was a common last name. Perhaps she had just gone through a case with a last name like that. Note to self, ask Shawn if they had run in contact with a Barnes before. “Uh, well, right.” She replied gruffly, feeling her cheeks start to redden with embarrassment–a feat not easily achieved by most people. “They might have. I’ve, uh, been pretty bad at checking my voicemail recently.” Did he really need to know that Nic? But it was true–since her mom called her, Nic had been avoiding that inbox like it was the plague. It was likely that buried deep in the messages the front desk called to let her know he was coming. Once again, fuck. “Not that…you probably care about that. Uhm–give me a second.” Her apprehension had vanished–call it a detectives intuition, but he didn’t seem bent on attacking her, so she tried to tell herself to relax. If he truly was her new roommate, attempting to tazer him (or worse) was not exactly the best first move. Well, neither was seeing her in a towel but….Nic had never in her life changed faster into normal clothes then in this moment. She’d failed to realize she’d put on an old Police Academy shirt and shorts, but truly anything was better than a towel. Popping back out, she gave him another look over. Well, at least he was good looking–not that Nic often measured character on whether a person looked good or not. “Hi–I’m Nic. Nic Rogers. I guess that means I’m also you’re roommate–I think that’s how that works.” She smirked slightly, moving toward the kitchen. “Beer?” Her eyes drifted to his bags in the corner. “So, I take it you’re not a native.” She could have determined he wasn’t for a thousand different reasons, not least of which was the slight southern accent that she’d detected early on. “At least, to Chicago. Where’s home?”

“Oh, I totally understand.  The only real reason I check mine is work, these days,” he admitted before she disappeared again and he was left standing in the room alone.  He shoved his hands deep into his pockets, thinking to himself that this could have gone better and he could have been a little less awkward for once in his life.  When she reappeared wearing the police academy shirt, things made a little more sense.  She’d definitely been reaching for a gun.  Fair, especially since it wasn’t every day a person emerged from the shower to find a strange man standing in their apartment.  “It’s nice to meet you, Nic,” he nodded, eyes following her as she moved to the kitchen, lingering just long enough to be more than a casual glance.  It wasn’t like he could help it, she was beautiful.  “Beer would be great,” he nodded when she looked back at him, eyes following hers to his bags while he tried to collect himself into something that was less of the disaster he felt he was being.  “You’ve got me, there.  I’m originally from South Carolina.  Then I graduated and moved north, and ended up in D.C,” he told her with a shrug, scratching the hair at the base of his neck.  “What about you?”

magnoliabarnes​:

Lia held her phone so tightly in her hand as she excited the elevator, doing her best to keep her anxiety at bay as she read through the messages. She had spent enough time with Mr. Worthington to know when he was in a foul mood and, even through text, she was absolutely positive she was going to enter the office to a verbal lashing. In truth, it wasn’t her fault that he couldn’t find the information he needed for his meeting this morning–it was sitting on his desk, as it always did, from the night before. Magnolia was absolutely sure of it–she placed it there herself. But, his ability to see what was right in front of his face as often skewed, especially when his ex-wife was in town. So, there she was, typing away rapidly on her cell phone trying to fix the problem as best she could to avoid him calling her at all. As her thumb pressed the blue and white arrow, a too familiar voice echoed loudly in the lobby and the blonde froze, her phone falling swiftly out of her hand and on to the floor. No, not in a million, bajillion years was that who she thought it was. There was just no–no way. He was supposed to be in South Carolina, right? Her mind flashed to when she first saw Jack again after all those years, her mind running to the same place. Apparently, South Carolina was not where these people stayed after all. Yet there were only two people in the entire world (apart from her momma and father) who ever used her full name at this point in her life, so there was no mistaking it. Lia spun on her heel faster than she ever had before, her blonde hair whipping around to face him. “Bennett?” She said, face contorted in a mess of disbelief and confusion. Magnolia had never been one to be speechless before–but this, this was something else entirely. “I–you–Bennett?” Her voice was faltering and her words felt stuck in her throat as she looked at her brother, trying to process it “In Chicago?”

There were probably, no, definitely better ways to have done this, he thought while he watched the range of emotions play out on his sister’s face as she realized what was going on and who was crazy enough to shout her name across a hotel lobby at seven-thirty in the morning.  She was on her way to what he could only presume was work and for the first time in the last two minutes it dawned on him that he didn’t even know what she was doing with her life now.  It had been fifteen years since she’d gotten on a plane to London, neither of them could have known back then that they wouldn’t see each other again until now, but he still felt guilty.  She’d needed him to be a big brother, to stand up to their parents sooner, and he’d failed at that.  He had to shove that down, though.  For years he’d been telling himself that he couldn’t have known, that his parents were too good at being liars and he was the person they lied to the most.  Blaming himself was going to get him nowhere.  He was here now.  Before he knew it, his feet were carrying him slightly forward, a small smirk forming on his lips.  “Yeah,” he nodded, giving a slight shrug as he stopped walking and looked around.  “In Chicago.  Hell of a lot different than back home, isn’t it?”  There were a couple of beats of silence as he tried to think of what to say next and he shook his head.  “What are you doing here?  When did you get back to the states?”

Bennett had some time before his next assignment was officially going to begin, and he knew next to nothing about the area, so he decided to take the day to try to learn his way around his new home.  He’d woken up with the intention of maybe finding someone to show him around, but it was proving difficult since it was the middle of the week and everybody had their own jobs that they had to attend to.  Until he figured out exactly how he was going to go about this, he decided to start the day off with breakfast and found himself in the lobby, sitting at one of the tables with a plate of waffles and bacon and a large coffee.  Waffles were probably the closest thing to comfort food that he could find in a hotel in Chicago at seven in the morning, and he settled in to read the news on his phone while he ate, occasionally looking up to watch the flow of traffic through the lobby.  His eyes landed on a certain blonde and it took everything he had to hang on to his fork and not send it clattering down onto his plate.  What were the actual chances?  He almost talked himself out of it, but after a couple of double takes, he was pretty sure he had the right person.  It had been fifteen years and she was a full-grown woman now, but he was positive that was his baby sister.  He stood, leaving his breakfast abandoned on the table and crossed the room to try to catch her before she could leave.  “Magnolia!” he called, his brain moving too fast to come up with a plan of what to do if he’d just made a fool of himself and gotten it all wrong.  “Lia!”

nic flipped her head upside down as she wrapped her fluffiest towel around her hair. few things in her life was nic very particular about–case in point, her desk in the bullpen had been considered a black hole on more than one occasion. her skills in the kitchen were less than desirable and she had no rhyme or reason for the way her room was set up. but the time she took to shower was a sacred space for her–the only time she felt completely able to relax, let go and just be. her music would play loudly, her favorite towel would be on stand by and she even bough extra of her favorite body wash so if she ever ran out, she wouldn’t be worried the scent wasn’t in store for the season. it was her time and she protected it at all cost. living alone had helped, for sure–though the nights had been lonely and nic’s own mental heath was struggling with the empty apartment, it did allow her to move freely about the space with no worries as to who might interrupt her–which was something she had come to enjoy. as she tightened the towel around her body, nic emerged from the bathroom. “She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean, she was the best damn woman I had ever seen,” she belted, her vocals leaving much to be desired—but then again, why should she care? no one was around to hear he– “holy shit!” she shouted, dropping her phone and jumping backward as fast as she could, looking directly at the stranger standing in her living room. “What the hell…who are you?” Nic raised her brow, her fight or flight response heightened significantly. Her hand instinctively flew to her hip where her holster was usually secured on her before realizing she was in only a bath towel. Fuck. “And why are you in my apartment?”

Bennett had only gotten into town about half an hour before he officially checked into the hotel.  All he had of his own things were a suitcase full of clothes, a couple of his suits in dry-cleaning bags, and a backpack with his computer and a couple of books.  The rest of his stuff was going to be sent later from his apartment back in Washington, and he hoped it would catch up with him soon, because he hated moving and hated having to re-establish himself in a new place.  The apartment suite he’d been given was nice, and was told at the desk that he already had a roommate.  Once he’d taken his bags to his room and started checking the place out, he started piecing together some of the personal details of his new roommate by pictures and things that had been left out around the room.  He was just considering whether or not it would be rude to leave without introducing himself so he could at the very least go get something to eat and maybe explore the city a little bit whenever his phone went off in his hand and he looked at the screen to find a couple of messages from his friends back at the capitol and one from his supervisor asking if he was getting settled in.  The timestamps were already long enough, and he didn’t want to leave any of them waiting too much longer, so he began responding to them.  Whenever he heard the singing he looked up, turning to the direction of the voice, and then dropped his phone when she’d yelled and jumped.  “Oh- Oh my god, I am so sorry,” he said, trying to avert his eyes and not seem like a creep.  “I’m Bennett Barnes, and I’m your new roommate.  They must not have told you I was coming,” he explained, eyes catching the movement of her arm as it went to her waist.
