Feeling Unworthy (Zod)

[Ursa]

(ooc: June 14th. Morning. Zod/Ursa boinding thread.)

Ursa slammed her fist into the ground causing a quake of sorts and then slammed her fist into a tree knocking it over.

"Stupid. I'm so stupid. I shouldn't have left Zod alone with him. Trusted those other fools to watch his back and that monster showed up and hurt him. He could have...."

She trailed off wiping away tears.

"I could have lost him. This Seeker shall pay for taking my love from me. No. My general. I love him but I would just hold him back from true greatness. I will just help him get there." said Ursa.

She'd had feelings for Zod for so long but she'd buried them. In her eyes, no one was worthy to be with Zod, not even herself. She'd gone home to rest and recover that day when she'd left Zod with the others and she regretted. She should have been there to protect him.

"I'm sorry General Zod. I failed you. But I won't again. No one will get that close to harming you again. Not while I'm here." said Ursa.

She was so wrapped up in her own thoughts she didn't realize she wasn't alone.

[General Zod]

Zod's injuries were pretty fine all things considered. Sure, they hurt, but he would definitely heal with time. It would take a week or so at latest. But his pride was severely misshapen because of the incident. He was a bit humiliated thanks to other members of the army underestimated him. But at the same time he got immense respect for surviving and even managing to make Kal be blocked from his powers. Sure kal was still overall a kryptonian and was immortal regardless but Zod definitely weakened him. Zod took comfort in that. But what he also took comfort in was at least Ursa was alright. She wasn't here and despite her protests, zod tried to tell her he would be fine. He hated seeing his most loyal companion so upset and he went to see if she was doing okay. He heard loud bangs and a sound of a tree falling down. Zod smiled softly. Ursa's passion was one of the reasons zod loved her.

He had hoped he would persue her but she never seemed like she was looking for a relationship. And yet zod wished to tell her thanks to her undying loyalty and allegiance to him. He went over to the noises, hoping it was ursa so he could be honest with her. He went over and noticed her rant and rave. Zod's heart both swelled and broke for her. He then heard her words

I could have lost him. This Seeker shall pay for taking my love from me. No. My general. I love him but I would just hold him back from true greatness

I failed you. But I won't again. No one will get that close to harming you again. Not while I'm here

He went over to her. Quickly going over and pulling her in for a tender hug. He sighed softly and replied "Ursa, my dear. Do not even begin to think this incident was your fault" He hugged her tighter "You could never hold me back. If anything you have made me far stronger and greater" He still held onto her, not wanting to let her go and wanting her so badly to understand "I wanted to say something for years to you. But I was too foolish to say it. Ursa, I love you more than life itself and I will not let anyone come between us. If you wish, I want to persue you" He then looked to her, awaiting her answer

[Ursa]

Ursa was surprised being pulled into a hug as she saw it was Zod.

"General Zod?!" said Ursa, shocked and surprised.

When she heard his words she found herself relaxing and hugged him back.

"So you heard everything? I'm sorry I didn't say something sooner but I've felt unworthy of you." said Ursa.

She paused as he said he wanted to pursue her.

"You want me?" asked Ursa, completely shocked.

[General Zod]

"Unworthy? Ursa, you are the most worthy person I know!" Zod insisted sincerely. It was true, he adored ursa and found her to be not only a great asset but also someone who made him feel open and free. Ursa was his loyal confidante and he always could depend on her. He only hoped she felt the same in terms of emotional support. He nodded insistently, holding her hands, squeezing them gently "Of course I want you. I would be a fool if I didn't. You're intelligent, strong, brave, beautiful and loyal beyond all measure. Anyone with a mind would understand how wonderful you are" He then looked down, trying to avoid looking nervous before turning to her again "Allow me to court you, darling Ursa. I wanted this for a long time"

[Ursa]

Ursa was in shock at his words.

"You really mean that?" asked Ursa, nervously.

Ursa smiled as Zod confirmed he did want her.

"You flatter me my lord." said Ursa, trying not to blush.

She paused at his words and she nodded.

"Yes. I'd like that." said Ursa.
