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.

	"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)

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	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.

	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)

	"Oh, fer the luvva...." Rose trailed off. "This is gonna huuuuurrtttt!" It was a long way down. The car hit, and rolled, and bounced, and rolled some more. It took a few moments for Rose to come back to awareness. She could feel bones reknitting. "Well..." she grunted, "let it never be said you don't make life interestin', Frosty."

Tina's body sprouted diamond armor right before the car hit the bottom but it wasn't quite enough to spare her entirely. She felt her legs break and her wrist as well. It was pretty painful, but not nearly as bad as she thought it was going to be.

"Okay." She unlatched her seatbelt and sat up, her shoulder snapping back into place on its own. "I don't really want to do that again."

	Rose struggled with her seatbelt for a minute before getting it to unlatch. "So," she said after a minute of grunting and gritted teeth through healing, "think Summers will notice we put a couple dents in the car?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think Summers is going to be pissed, but oh man it's so worth it. I'm going to get in so much trouble for this, but you'll be off the hook. I doubt Jean will let him go after you. " Tina laughed. "I'll buy him a new one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... wild_rose 2010-09-12 04:33 am UTC (link)
	Rose bit down on her lip to keep from gasping as a bone in her leg finished healing. "We're gonna have ta invent new names of colors fer the shade he's gonna turn." A thought occurred to her. "...So how're we gettin' back?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... whosperfectnow 2010-09-12 04:44 am UTC (link)
	Tina thought about that for a moment. "Well. We could try TK powered flight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... wild_rose 2010-09-12 04:51 am UTC (link)
	Rose considered this, then shrugged. "Eh, what the heck. Ain't like it'll kill me if ya drop us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good point. Okay, I'm gonna have to like, uh, hug you sorta. I swear, no one will ever know about this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Yer gonna armpit me," Rose groaned. "Fine," she said after a moment. "But not a word of this ta anyone. Especially not Annie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Not a word."

Yeah. This would be embarrassing and not only would Anastasia be pissed, but she'd never let either of them live this down. Tina popped her back and stretched out her arms before reaching out and taking hold of Rose.

"Probably shouldn't tell Joey or Justin about this, either. I'm pretty sure Justin will shoot me over all of this."

With a deep breath, Tina focused and they lifted up off the ground.

	"You say that, but I promise you he'd be upset about the idea of us wrecking a car. I saw him after you got crispy'd. This wouldn't go over well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... wild_rose 2010-09-13 01:24 am UTC (link)
	"Yeeeah, yer probably right, Frosty," she reluctantly agreed. The boy really cared about her; it wouldn't do to upset him further. "So," she went on. "We should do this again some time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... wild_rose 2010-09-13 01:49 am UTC (link)
	She snickered. "Oh, that was flippin' awesome. And I would so be up for doin' this regular-like. I know all kinds of bars we can trash." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Long as we clear the lake, we should be fine," Rose replied. "...But all the same, I vote you tell Summers about the car." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... whosperfectnow 2010-09-13 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Tina was silent for several moments. "Fine. Fine. But you're gonna be there with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: One Fight Scene Later... wild_rose 2010-09-13 03:17 am UTC (link)
	Rose was equally silent. "...All right. I can do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
