We Gotta Get Out of This Place
Normally, Rose spent as much time with Joey as was humanly possible, while still maintaining some degree of independence. Which didn't mean she couldn't hang around with other people. More importantly, right now, she needed to be able to head out with someone who could keep up with her, at least for a night.

Careful consideration left Tina as the option here, so Rose went to hunt her down.

	"Seriously," Rose put in. "I can practically taste yer stench." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The sleazy mustache one put his hand on Tina's upper arm and gripped. "What? You don't want to take a ride on this hog?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tina took a deep breath. This guy reminded her far too much of particularly bad memories. "Take your hand off me or there won't be a hog to ride." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, that's a really bad idea," Rose said, breaking into a laugh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aw, what's a little thing like you gonna do?" the guy taunted. Alcohol wafted off his breath. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really, last warning. Leave us alone." Tina calmly downed another mug of beer. It was the only thing keeping her in check. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose let a crazy smile spread across her face. This was gonna be fun. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I'm soooo scared," the mustached one said. He yanked on Tina's arm, to pull her out of her seat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

As Rose took on a crazed smile Tina went in a different direction, so different that if Rose was watching she might actually be uncomfortable or horrified by it. Tina turned into a rag doll, her body limp and compliant, her face and eyes blank, almost dead. It would be sickeningly obvious that this was a state she'd gone into before.

Out of her seat and standing, it was easy for the man to pull Tina's smaller frame obscenely close to his disgusting body. Limpid eyes looked up to the man as though she were about to give into him...but then something changed.

Sniiiiikkkkkt.

"Smart men are scared. You're obviously an idiot."
Tina's claws popped, the tips right at the man's groin.

	"Holy shit! She's a mutie!" the other guy snarled. He made a grab for Rose, while the one Tina had quivered in terror. A stream of yellow liquid trickled down his pant leg. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rose was mostly keeping her attention on the other guy, trusting that Tina could handle whatever came her way. But what she did see, well, Rose considered herself a pretty hard person, but that was going to require a lot of beer to unsee.

She was ready for the grab, grabbing onto the guy's wrist before he could blink, twisting his arm behind his back as she got to her feet.

She popped one of her own claws, the tip of it on his back. "Bad idea, bucko."

	"Congratulations, you've figured us out. Now, I have no wish to hurt anyone but really, you need to just leave us alone. And your friend here needs to get some clean pants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	All the eyes in the bar were on them. And, unfortunately, the bikers had friends. Big, beefy (some might say "fat"), unwashed guys. One pulled a knife. Another broke a bottle over the bar. Another had a pool cue. Others had other weapons. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh, this was going to be the most fun she'd had in ages. "Betcha I can take more of 'em than you," she told Frosty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-09-11 04:00 am UTC (link)
	"Bet you can't." And as if to punctuate the thought, she sent the guy on Rose flying across the room with TK. "Okay, we'll make it fair. Logan-powers only. Work for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-09-11 04:07 am UTC (link)
	Crazy Logan-smile time, as Rose, through muscle power and leverage, hurled her guy into the nearest of the approaching. "Frosty, that works just fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-09-11 04:10 am UTC (link)
	"Party time." Tina stood up a bit taller. "C'mon boys! Let's see who's man enough to take down a couple a muties!" Okay, now she felt the beer. But it was nothing, just enough to spread a crazy smile on her face as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One Fight Scene Later... wild_rose 2010-09-11 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	There were a lot of bikers on the floor, bleeding from various stab wounds and slashes. Anyone else with any sense had long since fled the bar. Sirens could fast be heard approaching. "Last guy fell over on his own," Rose said. "How do we count that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... whosperfectnow 2010-09-12 02:03 am UTC (link)
	"Hm. Split the difference?" Tina pushed her hair out of her face. "I mean, that seems fair. So I think we might want to get out of here. Thoughts?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... wild_rose 2010-09-12 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"Works fer me," Rose agreed. She retracted her claws and considered. "I'm in agreement, Frosty. You wanna drive this time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... whosperfectnow 2010-09-12 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"Yep." Her own claws retracted and she picked up her last untouched mug of beer, downed it, slapped some cash down on the bar and lead the way out to the car. "Hm. I wonder how fast this thing can go. Or, rather, can be convinced to go." She patted the dash, as though she were coaxing the car. And she was. "Hold onto your ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... wild_rose 2010-09-12 02:38 am UTC (link)
	Rose hadn't even had time to buckle up. She caught flashing lights in the rear-view mirror. "I'm thinkin' they'd like ta ask us some questions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... whosperfectnow 2010-09-12 02:53 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sure they would." Tina played it calmly, gunned the engine and the vehicle shot forward at unimaginable speed. "We should be able to lose them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... wild_rose 2010-09-12 03:04 am UTC (link)
	There was something fundamentally wrong when Rose was the sensible one in a partnership. She was reasonably certain she saw some line about "bridge out ahead", but at the speeds they were going, it was hard to tell. More flashing lights joined the ones already following them.

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... whosperfectnow 2010-09-12 04:00 am UTC (link)
	Tina was eerily calm, shifting gears and pushing the car even further. She didn't ruffle or even make a comment...until she saw the second warning sign. "Oh. Well, it looks like we're testing the healing factor. Bridge's out." The lights of the car turned the corner and illuminated the abyss ahead. "....fuuuuuuck." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
