(Not Quite) Hell on Wheels (open)
Huntress opened the throttle on her bike and increased her speed. The men on bikes ahead of her had been pulling away, but she wasn't going to let them get away. They were part of a gang who were pushing drugs to middle-school kids and Maria wasn't about to let them go anywhere but to the land of pain and jail. Preferably in that order.

She had been following them for a few days to learn their supply and distribution routes so she could bring down the whole gang and not just two little fishes. Tonight they were heading toward Metropolis to meet up with a fellow member who dealt in Metropolis. She gunned the throttle and closed the gap between them.

Huntress pulled up along side of one and grabbed her crossbow. She aimed and fire, the small arrow going into the front tire of the bike. The front tire deflated and the bike flipped, the back going up over the front. The man on it went flying off and hit the ground hard. He wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Huntress kept after the guy on the other bike and pulled up along side of him. She took aim, but he swerved toward her and she had to swerve to avoid him hitting her. She straightened out and half stood up, putting her weight on her hands. She put her right knee on the seat and kicked out with her left foot at the man on the other bike.

He wobbled a bit before losing control. His bike started to skid and the rear wheel hit hers. Not good. So not good. Her bike started to skid and there was only one thing left to do. Huntress jumped from the skidding bike and went flying through the air. She tried to adjust her position to make a somewhat reasonable landing, but she had been driving too fast for that. She hit the ground hard and with some bone breakage.

"Ow. Double ow." There wasn't a part of her body that didn't hurt and she was going to lie here and enjoy the nice hard ground for a bit.

	"It will hurt, sure, but wouldn't it be worth it just to see her face one more time or hold her in your arms for one more night? Hear her voice whispered in your ear in the darkness? I would give a lot to see the people I love just one more time no matter how much it would hurt me after." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know. Is it worth putting my life on hold for a hope, a hope of maybe one more day? I would hope she would move on too, live her life. Some people from other dimensions visit again... we've seen that... others don't. On one hand, I'd like to see her again, on another... its probably best I don't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't put your life on hold for a maybe, but if you do see her again and the situation is right just...don't let it pass you by. Promise me Jon Kent that if the chance does come up you'll take it and be happy while you can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-05-31 01:09 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, that was never a question. If things change, then we'll see. But her world needs her, and she can't operate here... she's a goddess... and I'm needed here. I won't let it pass in any case. But I'm also not going to count on a longshot maybe that we already determined can't work long term." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-05-31 01:16 am UTC (link)
	"Only a Kent would fall in love with a goddess," she said. "Good. Don't let the chance pass you by if it does come up, but don't let any other chances pass you by either." She patted his hand. "Otherwise I'd be forced to kick your ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I won't. You never know what will happen, but I'm not counting on them coming back or anything either. And if other things come up... well, we'll see. I'm not really ready to start dating again yet and I know it, but eventually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"First loves, this is a first love, right? You'll never forget it and they're hard to get over. Someday some bodacious babe will catch your eye and you'll know you're ready. Until then, you kick bad guy butt and hang out with your friends. And if one of those friends just happens to be some incredibly amusing girl who has few brain to mouth filters, then all the better."

	He can't help but grin, just a little, again. "It was, yes. And... there's a couple cute girls around. I'd never had a lot to do with dating before, but my eyes are definitely a little more open. Besides, you are kind of cute. If I ever was going to abuse my x-ray vision..." he teases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-05-31 02:02 am UTC (link)
	Maria blushed a little, then she was back to form. "Mr. Kent, you don't need to abuse your x-ray vision. I'll gladly show you what you want to see." She stood up and fumbled with the ties on her sweats. She wondered how long it would take him to turn away or stop her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-05-31 02:15 am UTC (link)
	He laughs. "I was kidding, but if you're going to insist, since we seem to keep coming back to this, I'm not going to stop you." Calling her bluff... which may or may not work, but at least now he's not the only one blushing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-05-31 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"See?" she said as she pulled down the sweats just enough to give a glimpse of her under wear. They were white with red polka dots. "No X-Ray vision needed." She laughed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-05-31 02:25 am UTC (link)
	He whistles, and gives her a wink. "Polka dots, never would have guessed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-05-31 02:27 am UTC (link)
	"Well the ones with hearts and the ones with smiley faces are in the wash. Good thing I decided to wear underwear today. Going commando would have been embarrassing." She chuckled a bit as she sat back down. "Now I've shown you mine, now you have to show yours." She was totally kidding of course. Mostly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-05-31 02:29 am UTC (link)
	He blushes, but... "Fair is fair." he agrees, standing and lowering the side of his jeans enough to show the tops of basic blue boxers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-05-31 02:33 am UTC (link)
	Maria was laughing and wincing against the pain in her chest. "I would have pegged you for a tighty-whiteys type of guy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-05-31 04:18 am UTC (link)
	"Nah, these are more comfortable." he replies with a small grin. "Now that you've eaten, you want a painkiller or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-05-31 11:44 am UTC (link)
	"Happy pills would be great, thank you," she said as she finished the last bite of her burger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-05-31 02:12 pm UTC (link)
	He nods, tidying up all the paper and the cups and all from dinner, taking it to the recycling and garbage, then returning with a glass of water and a couple pills for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-05-31 03:15 pm UTC (link)
	"So what are these?" she asked as she took the pills. "I don't have any allergies or anything, but I would like a head's up if they'll make me loopy or want to strip off all my clothes and go streaking through the building." She gave him a wink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-05-31 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	He smirks. "Well, they won't stop you from wanting to strip and streak the building, since you seem halfway there already, showing strange guys your underwear. But its just motrin, it'll help with the pain, may eventually make you a little tired." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-05-31 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Well streaking is more fun with a partner and after all you're showing strange girls your boxers." Maria popped the grunt candy and chase it with a sip of water. She went up on her toes and placed a quick kiss on his mouth. "Thank you for being so kind and wonderful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-05-31 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	He blushes, taking a few moments, after the kiss, to recover his train of thought. "If you really want a streaking partner, I think you're better off contacting Petra. Don't think that's quite my style, but don't let me stop you from your hobbies." He's only processing so much, and dealing with naked Maria is easier than being kissed, even if it was quick.

	crossbow_bat 2011-05-31 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	"I think I'll leave streaking for later. Right now I think I'm just going to lie down and not move. Not moving doesn't hurt." He was cute when he blushed. Probably why she tried to get him to do it at every opportunity. "Thank you again. One night you'll have to let me take you out to dinner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-05-31 03:43 pm UTC (link)
	"I should let you rest, unless you want company while you take it easy? As for dinner... how about tomorrow?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-05-31 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	"If you want to read me a bedtime story, you're more than welcome to, but I should be fine. Tomorrow night is perfect." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
