Woke up to a grocery list

WHO: Jesse, a whole gaggle of unfortunate gang members and whoever is out
WHERE: All over the bad places and the Carrier
WHEN: September 4th - September 10th
WARNINGS: Violence, language, teen angst
SUMMARY: School's about to start, so Jesse's cleaning up the streets a little before that.
FORMAT: Tagger's choice

[ It wasn't like she really liked fighting (except when she did). It was just that there was a shit load of things going on there were just way beyond her control. And it's not that she's not used to that. It's just that the things she can't control outweigh the things she can. Jesse knows she's not going to get control by sitting around and staying out of trouble. So she goes out and finds some.

There's some things that are innate, even in a different city and a different world. She buys a cheap map of the City and a couple markers, covering the maps with highlights and notes of where the kids are, where the gangs are and where the two converge. She sleeps on the Carrier and spends a lot of time talking to kids.  She spends a lot more time punching a lot of really deserving people in the face.

And she's actually kind of okay with that.]
invoking: (another way to die.)

[ Gil walks a lot when he goes anywhere in the City. He doesn't understand the mechanics of cars or motorcycles, nor does he have the means to buy one of those things. They look overly complicated anyway.

Despite having been here for months now, he still doesn't know his way around certain parts of the City. It's probably twice as large as the one back home, so getting lost isn't difficult when you don't where to get off at a subway station because you haven't utilized it often. He meant to get off at a later stop, but opts to walk the rest of the way now.

He does realize about a block down he's being tailed by a couple of bigger, unpleasant looking men. He's not sure why (maybe they want to rob him) and he realizes he's at a slight disadvantage with his arm still in a sling.

He keeps a hand close to his coat pocket, where his gun is and carries along as if he hasn't noticed them. ]
invoking: (blarghhhh.)

[ His hand strays from his coat pocket and he jumps at the sudden appearance of Jesse. Holy... he thought his heart had almost leapt from his chest there. ]

J-Jesse?! Don't do-- What are you doing here?! [ Immediately, he cants his head to see where those two other men are. They've stopped for now, but it looks like they're still watching. ]
invoking: (tongue-tied.)

[personal profile] invoking 2012-09-10 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ A disbelieving stare. ]

What? Are you doing something illegal? [ He still can't justify kids playing heroes. ] You don't know what kind of people are out here.

[ He starts moving, trying to usher Jesse to come along with his good arm. He doesn't want to stick close to those other guys. ]

You were? [ He's surprised; he didn't think being unavailable for a few days is that big of a deal here... is it? ]
invoking: (guilt.)

[personal profile] invoking 2012-09-10 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ His expression quickly falls at the mention... well, what happened. The Sentry hasn't returned yet and he's not sure if that's for the best. ]

Oh... I'm fine. [ He doesn't look at her. ] If I worried you I'm sorry...
invoking: commission. (tension.)

[ He doesn't know how to feel about that statement, but he doesn't get a chance to question her when he's suddenly being shoved aside. He doesn't fall or aggravate his arm luckily.

He didn't even notice how fast those guys had snuck up on them. Jesse's just as fast; he can barely keep up her with her movements, standing there shocked at how well-timed and precise her actions are.

Then he feels like an idiot for standing there doing nothing. Except, as he draws his pistol, he sees those two guys aren't rising back up. He keeps his weapon in his hand anyway. ]


What the hell...
invoking: (eye-opener.)

[personal profile] invoking 2012-09-10 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ How can someone so small take down those guys? They're bigger than he is! Is she some sort of metahuman, as they call it here? ]

You were telling the truth?

[ Where's the silly costume and/or code name?! ]
invoking: (scold.)

[personal profile] invoking 2012-09-10 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ He looks up and down the street quickly before slipping the gun back into his coat. He had privilege to use it freely back home, not here.

He's already putting a hand on her shoulder to lead her away, moving fast himself. ]


It's alright. We should leave this place quickly.
invoking: (idek.)

1/2

[ Why does he always feel the compulsion to practically baby her when she's around? His heart is racing from that scuffle and he didn't even land a hit on them... ]

I feel so nervous my stomach hurts...
invoking: ▎erewhile (crawwwling.)

[personal profile] invoking 2012-09-10 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her inquiry catches him off guard. He swallows and shakes his head. ]

Nothing... I'm fine, Jesse.
invoking: (... non.)

[personal profile] invoking 2012-09-10 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's not important! [ It would pass anyway. He gives her a more stern look now. ] Superhero or... whatever you call yourself... you should be more careful!

At least value yourself!

[ He doesn't mean to let it out in an outburst... it just happens. ]
invoking: (hermano no.)

[personal profile] invoking 2012-09-11 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Whoa, that look actually gets him to shut up for a moment. ]

Um...
invoking: (hissy fits.)

[personal profile] invoking 2012-09-11 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
What are you talking about? [ He knows a few kids were killed or hurt in the ensuing fight... were they friends of hers? ]

This isn't anything. [ But there's really no way to justify that with a broken arm. He didn't want to fight the Void-- but he couldn't let that thing go after a city the Sentry protected. ]
invoking: (crying internally.)

[personal profile] invoking 2012-09-12 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ He lets out a heavy sigh. Tired, both physically and emotionally. ]

... Let's just go back to the MAC.
