VENIN:
Thanks *She reaches up giving him a kiss on the cheek then goes
around to grab the bracelette, she hears him cough and looks up
concerned she watches him for a moment then sets about
reprogramming the bracelette..after a few moments she walks back
to blackdagger..she sees him simply walking away, up the road and
stops, wacthing him for a moment, before calling out* James! *she
runs to catch up with him* Here *she presses the bracelette into
his hands* You remember the old tavern where we fought? noone
goes there anymore...too many hunters, and i am sure the hunters
have stopped going there now too It will take you there....wait
for me, I will show up soon. And hopefully we can get you back
into GUARD. Take this too *she hands him the gun*
TYTAN:
*She smacks his shoulder lightly, which for her is rather hard
actually.* shuold leeet you diiie asshole.... Neeever call me or
anythiiing.*She gives him a slight hug.* Glaaad your safe. Caaaan
you walk?
METALLIC:
ahhh *he gasps in pain as she punches him, then grimaces as he
feels ribs grind under her hug* thanks for rescuing me *He winces
as he tries ot stand* I think I can walk, he stands and his foot
gives out, he looks at it blankly and tries agian to no avail..he
hten looks up at you chuckling* I htink I broke something
BLACKDAGGER:
** He looks at her flatly and ignores the braclette** That's
bright give me a weapon, why didn't I just shoot you then? Here's
an idea. . .I simply go back and that's that. What should it
matter to you? Either way I betrayed myself more than I did them.
** his voice spiteful as he finally looked towards the braclette,
and then towards her He said quietly, glancing back towards Alan
and then looking towards her ** You're friend's not looking too
well. I will wait, fifteen minutes. If you are not there, I will
leave. ** glancing towards Abyss more and saying then trying to
be as emotionally impartial as he could ** You need to cover your
own Yvette. . . before worrying about someone who is apt at
worrying for themselves. ** He tossed the gun to the ground and
simply then looked towards the braclette in his grasp. Fiddling
with the contraption until he was teleported in a bright white
orb, quietly and not giving her a chance to say a single thing.
He looked towards the Tavern the people who paid him no regard.
He then moved towards the bar, and sat. . . feeling the mirror
like surface beneath his arms, and the cushion below. . . having
lost so much innocence since he had last visted this palce. **
VENIN:
*she stands there, unable to come up with a reply.then he simply
vanishes...she looks back at Alan ...he was right, he wasn't so
good, she runs back to the hummer* shove over Alan, I'm driving
We gotta get you some treatment..just tell me the way. how bad is
it?
ABYSS:
*He rolls his slowly closing eyes over at her. He'd lost a lot of
blood, had been using his power to keep the blood inside his body
this long. But now his energy was all used up. He coughs a bit
more.* Think m'beyond hope babes...*Pulling his hand away to
reveal the steady flow of blood, it had hit just below his heart.
He smiles slightly. Touching her face with a hand.* S'worth it
all if you got out of there... couldn't save some of my friends.
But could save you Yvette....*Trailing his own blood along her
face. His voice trailing of as he loses consciessness.*
Jes.....leave....me...n'Dopp....here....*Not dead, again, but out
from blood loss. though the other is not far away.*
VENIN:
God damn it..your not going to die! *she doesn't even know where
the others are...how can she get help she watches helplessly as
the blood gushes out... she pulls off his jacket and shirt,
revealing the wound a gasp escaping her lips as she sees the full
extent of the injury* you are not going ot die again..one clone
is plenty *She extracts her talons, one aspect of her power she
rarely used...she never was particularily fond of it....but...the
poison on them was paralytic, so it should slow the blood flow
and it would be useful to remove the bullet which she can see
lodged within the hole.. she doesn't have long before GUARD
catches up, but he has even less* I hope this works *She
carefully reaches into the wound, her talons delicately grasping
the bullet and prying it loose..the talons leaving the poison in
their wake ...she then rips apart his shirt, and uses it to pack
the wound, tieing it tightly..praying the whole time that she can
get the bleeding to stop.*
ABYSS:
*His body reacts to the pain a little bit. Though he says
nothing. Having already passed out due to the amount of blood
he's lost. Though the poison seems to slow the flow of blood, it
doesn't stop it all together. The packing of the shirt helps alot
too. But if he's not gotten some medical attention soon, then
he'll certainly be dead.*
VENIN:
damn *she curses as the blood continues to flow, but is grateful
that the flow has at least slowed...now what? where? she was in
France damnit! she knew noone..she carefully moves Alan over,
then slides into the drivers seat and drives like a bat outta
hell, she needs a phone..why couldn't this once she be
telepathic..even if she drops her shields and tries to call, she
doubts that any will hear her.. except some GUARD psi that would
be scanning the area* Your gonna be okay, I got an idea..Just
need a phone *...she drives down the road, like a bat out of
hell, kicking up a dust cloud behind her, occaisonally glancing
over at Alan, or reaching to check his pulse....finally up ahead
she sees a town and a gas station...she spins into the station,
her eyes scanning for a phone..she sees one outside by the
bathrooms...after checking alans condition she leaps runs over to
it and begins dialling, the one number that she knows will always
have someone at that could help her...they might not help
her...but they would Alan..he was truly one of them, she one who
had once hunted them would never gain the trust of most
there...she listens..waiting impatiently for the operator to
answer* come one...come on....*finally the operator
answers*{operator} bonjour quelle nom {venin} recueiller pour
Geoff de yvette un emergencie((trans: collect for Geoff from
yvette, an emergency)) *she waits impatiently for the line to
connect then it rings...and rings .........and rings then is
finally answered on the other end.....{operator} recueiller pour
geoff da yvette, accepter-vous?....*venin hollers into the
receiver before the girl on the end can offer a confused huh?*
parle anglais, speak english *The operator asks again in heavily
accented english* Collect call for Geoff from Yvette..you accept?
{girls} for Geoff? yeah sure, hold on I'll dig him up *the
operator connects her thorough and Yvette can hear the phone drop
and bang repeatedly against the wall as the girl seeks out Geoff*
{Girl} Yo! Geoff onna your Girlfriends is calling collect, Yvette
or something?
GILD:
*Groaning as he's woken up, in a pile of R.UN.ners. They'd thrown
a party here last night. And Geoff was real hung over. Holding
his head slightly as he makes his way to he phone. Holding it
down by his thigh for a moment before he puts it to his ear.*
This better be good..... I've got a headache the size of a
manhattan...*Talking about the drink, not the city.* Who the hell
is this anyway?*Not having caughtt he name of the caller when the
girl was calling it out.*
YVETTE:
Geoff! THANK GOD! *her words coming out fast, almost
panicked..yet relieved, help was in sight..or at least closer* I
didn't know if anyone else would answer for me *she glances over
at the hummer, and its dying occupant* look Alans hurt
bad...dying..grab a healer and program your bracelettes for...*
she stops..program for where, she knew the base coordinates, she
could figure the coordinates to where the mustang was...but here?
she wasn't thinking, hadn't thought of recording distance.* DAMN!
I dont' know where I am....uhmm uhmmm.... *the words almost run
into each other as her mind starts to work overtime...Alan didn't
have much time* set coordinates for 132 long. 128 lat. 32 minutes
12.5 seconds.there will be a mustang there, wire it.how fast are
you?.forget that, just wire it, and head west.there is a gas
station outside a town we are there....Hurry!
GILD:
*Blinking his eyes open, now there was a voice he'd not heard in
a long time. YVETTE! And Alan was hurt... god damned it! He'd
missed out on gunplay!!!!!!!* SHIT! *Grabbing his head again as
he blurted that out.* I'll get somone there.. We'll make it
happen. Just sit tight and keep out of sight.*He programs the
co-ordinates she gave to him into the bracelet. Then goes and
grabs one of the R.UN.ners. One by the name of Apothicary. Not
explaining to the young woman for what purpose he wanted, just
grabbing the nightgown ridden lady by her shirt and pressing the
button on his bracelet. Materializing next to a real -FUCKED UP-
mustang.* she expects me to drive -this-?*And he didn't even have
to hot wire it, the keys were inside.* Get in...*He jumps into
the Mustang, the still dreary eyed girl not knowing what the hell
was going on. He drives as fast as he can on the blown tire, and
the windshield he can't quite see out of. Holding his head
outside the window with some goggles on that he found with a
paint gun kit in the trunk. He comes to a skidding halt outside
the gas station about twenty minutes after she'd called.* You
rang?*Looking at the Hummer.* Oh sure, leave me with the shit
while you and the injured travel in style.*The young woman gets
out of the car, running to where she -senses- the injury.
Applying her powers to the wounded runner.*[He's lost alot of
blood miss... He'll be out for a while until his body can
regenerate it. all I can do is repair the damage.]*Geoff blinks a
little bit, seeing how fucked up both Alan and Yvette are.* God,
looks like you two took a walk through hell.
VENIN:
*She slams the phone down and runs back over to the hummer, her
hand instantly reaching for his pulse...having assured herself
that it still beats...however faintly...she tries once again to
staunch the blood flow* Helps coming, Geoff is grabbing someone,
it won't be long *the words an unconious litany upon her
tongue...having done all she can she paces restlessly before the
hummer, only stopping occaisonally to check on Alan...people
pause and stare at the blood covered mad woman before mumbling
and moving on* fou americans {trans: crazy americans} *she can
hear the mustang long before she sees it, the rim firing sparks
in its wake..she runs out where they can see her briefly then
runs back to alans side, once more to assess his status* they're
here, your gonna be okay *the healer comes around to alan aand
begins working so yvette steps out and embraces Geoff, nearly
picking him off his feet* never thought I would be so glad to see
you..thank you *she turns back to the healer, waiting for a
progress report* he'll live? *she breathes a sigh of relief and
slumps down agains the side of the hummer* look it? thats where
I've been living *laughter rings from her lips, a touch of
witheld insanity in its midst*
GILD:
*Geoff looks over at Alan. Blinking a little bit before he's
almost tackled to the ground with the hug, a very
uncharacteristic thing, from 'vette. Wel.... He certainly like
this to the rescue stuff...* Hey, if it gets me hugs from fine
babes... I'll do anything.*Watching as she slumps to the ground.
Blinking as she seems to make no sense what-so-ever.*
Er....*Kneeling down beside her and placeing a hand on her
shoulder.* You gonna be alright 'vette?*Hearing a few of the
French looking at them all as though they were crazy.* The
hell...HAVN'T YOU -FROGS- EVER SEEN HURT PEOPLE BEFORE?*The
French simply looked at each other... Not knowing what he just
said. So he does something they will respond to, drawing his
weapon lighteningly fast and firing off a round. Everyone
understands that as they bolt away to provide some privacy. He
looks back over at the Hummer... Alans shape, her shape. the
reports of GUARD in this area... He must have rescued her.* would
that I had such friends.*Patting her shoulder a coupld of times.
She hadn't trusted Alan since Geoff brought the clone back to her
house... wondering if now she would.*
VENIN:
*she continues to chuckle and shakes her head* No, I won't
be.....*she looks up at him, her hollowed gaze meeting his, but I
will live *she grabs his gun hand as he fires off a round*
don't...we don't need the publicity...*she squeezes the hand on
her shoulder gratefully* you do *she stands, mock glaring at him*
but if you are ever stupid enough to get caught I will personally
break you out and kill you * she looks over at alan and the
medic, then back to you* You have to get him back to the
lair...do you have a spare bracelette?
GILD:
*He squeezes her shoulder once.* We'll get you some help...
Jessie, Aerik. One of them must be able to help you somewhat...
You'll be fine, everything will be as it was.*He gives her a hug
back, of the few people he -did- trust, she was one of them.*
S'good to have you back 'vette. thought we'd lost you.*He puts
the weapon away as she says how she'd kill him.* Pft.... Relax,
no one touches me that I don't -wanna- be touched by.*He looks
ove to Alan. Shaking his head at the spare bracelet part.* No....
But I should be able to get us all back. At least to a place
where we can get -TO- the lair from.*checking the power left in
the bracelet, more than one person drew more energy from it. And
it -should- have enough. Hopeing. If it didn't then they would
get dropped in the ocean or something similar, where ever the gas
ran out.* we'll -ALL- make it out of here. You need some sleep in
a -real- place among friends.*He waves at Apothicary, she helps a
very groggy alan to his feet and wanders over with him leaning on
her shoulders.*
VENIN:
Fuck Aerik! *it comes out almost a low threatening growl, she
never was told about rikky, all she knew was that it was a
rookie...she knows he wouldn't betray those he considered
friends...but they had never gotten along, it would be like him,
to play with her by letting GUARD have her...her tone softens*
even Jessie won't make much difference...the past always haunts
*she nods over at alan and Apthicary* take them back first then
send me a bracelette...I have to take care of something.*her
voice fades out*.of someone *she sighs* I have had too much time
to rest, I don't need it
GILD:
*He nods at Yvette and takes Alan, and Apothicary, back to the
LAIR... Looking around for a spare bracelet, when he doesn't find
one, he just steals somone elses. Then, after powering his back
up, he ports back to the France scene. Kneeling next to her and
handing her the bracelet.* You gonna be okay by yourself? I could
go with you.
VENIN:
*she watches them vanish, then impatiently paces back and forth
between the vehicles, wiating for his reappearnace..he reappears
and she hurries towards him* thanks *She accepts the bracelete
and hugs him again* I have to go by myself, I only hope he's
still there....I'll be okay....I don't know when I will be back,
but trust me...I will come back *she steps back* take care of
alan, and tell zak and jesse I'm okay *she reprograms the
bracelette and activates it, vanishing in a flash of
light...reappearing just outside of a familiar tavern, one she
ahdn't been to in ages*
GILD:
*He looks around... Well, that was a short bit of action.
Blinking a few times. He walks towards the humer... Touches it
with a smile, and presses the jewel on the bracelet, trasporting
himself, and his new -ride- back home. Wait till MARK saw
-this-.*
