Mayhem...and a little dinner.
Joey and Rose arrived at the sushi restaurant, and he let Rose take the lead since this were her territory and all. They spent most of the taxi ride talking about small things and laughing at each other's jokes. He was still pretty new to the Big Apple, so he asked questions about the different places they passed on the way.

Walking inside, Joey finds himself drawn to the quiet, private atmosphere of the restaurant, and wishes more eateries were like this. It's not Xavier's, but it's cool in its own way, and having Rose as company makes it perfect.

The pair are seated and provided menus and get set up with their drinks. Joey looks over the menu and realizes that he doesn't know what half the stuff on it is, so he learns in to whisper to Rose.

"Okay, what's good here?" he asks.

Vertigo's focus on Joey could have shifted to include Rose, had she had a few more seconds. Rose is too fast on the draw, however, and Vertigo can't avoid the psi-beams.

She shrieks in pain and stumbles back, her focus going from Joey to Rose in an instant. She drops to a knee and tries to focus enough to distort Rose's higher brain functions and keep her at long range.

	Rose had the teeniest bit of psionic resistance, passed onto her from her mother, but not anywhere near enough to protect her from a directed assault like this. She fell to her knees, head spinning. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vertigo herself is feeling out of sorts from the psi-bolts, so this attack isn't as potent as it could be. She feels her concentration slipping with each moment, losing her focus on Rose. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose gritted her teeth, did like her parents had taught her. Focus past it. Clear her mind. And strike. "Get... outta... my... head!" she roared, firing another bolt, stronger this time, as she rose to her feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vertigo was aware the girl had some psionic ability, but she wasn't expecting the blast that Rose leveled at her. She collapsed to the concrete, groaning in pain, the touch of her mind completely fading from Rose's own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Guess I showed her," Rose muttered. She looked to see how the others were doing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

While "Slab" and Rose were taking out the other members of the team, Gorgeous George made his way over to Joey, his hand shifting from a regular hand into a wicked looking mace. He raised it over his head as he walked past the charred form of Bloodhound, intending on smiting the young man for his temerity.

"I hope you weren't fond of breathing, my boy. You won't be doing it much longer." he said, preparing himself to strike.

Foxx shifted from Slab's muscular form to her own slimmer, more lithe form, and realized that she was too far away to shoot George down without hitting Joey.

She still tries anyway. Both of her shots are accurate, but Gorgeous George doesn't even slow down. Both Rose and Foxx will hear metallic tinks as the bullets hit the ground after being ejected from George's body.

"Claws, get him!" Foxx yells.

	Anything that bullets go through, her claws aren't going to do much of anything to. Too much fluid, not enough organs in a guy like that. Thank goodness Rose is just a little bit of her mother's child. She let George have it with both barrels of psi-blasts. Pure psychic energy with no physical component to them, it should work.

	The psi-blasts irritate George a great deal, but his mental defenses are made of sterner stuff than his fellows. He grunts, and focus his attention on smashing Joey out of existence, bringing his mace-hand down... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Joey was on his hands and knees, trying to regain his bearings when George moved in to pulverize him. It was pure luck that he rolled onto his side as George's hand came down to dent the concrete between them, in the space where his head was only seconds before.

Joey wildly threw up a hand and let loose a small burst of flame. It wasn't enough to hurt the man by any means, but the brightness of said burst in the dark alley, coupled with the heat threw George off-balance for a few precious seconds.

George would back away from Joey with his hands over his eyes, open to any attack that would come his way.

	If he's off balance, he's solid. If he's solid... he can be hurt. Rose threw herself towards George and slashed with her claws. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The slashes hurt George immensely and he grunts in pain as Rose works him over. He turns to face her and realizes this fight has gone from five on two his favor, to three on one, against him.

The boss isn't going to be happy about them coming back empty handed, but he'd probably be angrier about losing all of them to a crazy bitch with claws, a kid who could throw fire, and another shape-shifter.

Bloody hell. He's going to have my balls for this.

"No, George. But I'm going to give you a chance to remedy your failure..." another voice speaks into his mind.

Ruckus, Bloodhound and Vertigo vanish in quick succession. Inside the building, Slab does as well.

"This isn't over girl." George says, trying to heal over the long slashes Rose has made as greenish-blue blood drips from his back to the floor. The smell is horrible, and George's eyes are filled with malice.

"We'll see you all again." he says, before he, too, vanishes from sight, leaving Rose and Joey alone with Foxx.

	Foxx isn't able to stop any of their opponents from vanishing, but she's also not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. "Wait here, lovebirds. I'm gettin' the car and we're getting out of here." she says, taking off at a run down the street. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Joey's brain is finally clearing out, and when George and his flunkies vanish, he lets out a sigh of relief before grinning at Rose. "Had 'em right where we wanted 'em. Told ya." he says, adding a wink. "Anyone ever tell you how hot you are when you're all protective?" he asks. Yes, he's flirting right now, after nearly being killed. It's a coping mechanism.

	Rose growled in frustration that George and the others had escaped. She took several deep breaths to calm herself, bringing her rage back under control. She smirked at Joey's compliment. "You were pretty hot yourself, Sparky." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-03-21 03:55 am UTC (link)
	Joey grinned and sat up, still smarting from the up-close-and-personal meeting with the wall. "What can I say? I have this effect on women. And that's before I even use my powers." he says, his tone completely nonchalant, aside from the slight grunting. "We did sushi tonight. I say we have barbecue for our next date. You with me?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose's smirk transformed into a full blown grin. "You're on," she said. "Though you've got some explainin' to do. Didn't know you had a guardian angel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, I wouldn't really call Foxx a guardian angel, so much as a...check and balance. She checks up on me when I've bitten off more than I can chew, and I pay the balance by not getting in so much trouble next time." Joey says.

"I actually haven't seen her in four months. I don't even know why she's here." he says, as Foxx pulls up in a black car Dodge Charger.

"Come on. Let's get back to the school and I'll find a way to make tonight up to you. I think there's still some ice cream in the freezer." he smiles.

Foxx looks at both of them from the driver's side of the vehicle.

"All aboard! If you don't get on now, you're walkin'!" she yells.

Joey looks happy with this girl, which is what his old man would have wanted. Foxx figures to drop these kids off and then go somewhere nice for a little while and let things cool off.

Hopefully the kid make it four months or so without getting killed in the meantime.

	Rose made a mental note to investigate this Foxx person as thoroughly as possible. She smiled though. "Sounds like a plan to me," she told Joey. "Let's go home." (Reply to this)(Parent)
