Resident...Evil?
Despite the garbage that went down earlier in the week, Melissa found herself a happier camper today. The Boss Man's check cleared; she and Kelly were now much more financially solvent. After a call to her lawyer, Diane, to get bills and things paid, Mel goes downstairs to have herself a victory dance, or as they're called, a beer. Never mind that it's early in the morning and that she hasn't hand breakfast, which also sounds like a good idea, Mel just wants to enjoy having her money, her girl, her magic and her guns.

Kelly was right about this whole mercenary gig; it paid dividends, even if being shot at and nearly killed by life-draining nutjobs was part of the job. They'd also done the world a favor by removing Benedict Kine's sorry self from it, and Mel figured they deserved medal for that. Instead, they got hefty-paychecks. Maybe she'd /buy/ herself a medal.

She walks into the kitchen, going through the cupboards to see if there's any eggs to make an omelet. If there is bacon, it's left untouched.

Bacon is against her personal religion.

The shock hits as water douses the area. Her hair stands on end, and for a moment, her eyes go wide as she figures out what he's doing.

And then... she stands there. An evil grin spreads across her face as the electricity rolls over her.

"Cute trick. Bet it worked better back west against the amateur league too."

She flexes, making her muscles work again as the electricity surges through her, slowed, but not appearing hurt. She swings hard with the ball, following it up with a left cross.

"Shame I got no problems beating up on you, huh?"

Well... that could have gone better.

"Yeah well, life's full of disappointments. You learn to deal, or you end up like your bunch."

Victor reaches out and meets the strike with his palms open. He takes more impact than he'd like, but he's able to cling to the ball as it swings out again, letting go at the top of the arc and being flung away from the brawler.

He catches sight of their team's own big gun as he's on his way down. "Molly! There's a box of Frosted Sugar Bombs in it for you if we can trade!" He manages a weak laugh, despite the fact that there's exposed wiring and servos at one of his wrists, bent backwards.

"Ooohhh, a robot!" This explains a lot. "I'll take you apart like a tinker toy in a sec. First, got to see if your little trick works better on your own teammates."

Exposed wiring, busted water main -- yeah, fun possibilities.

As Victor is calling for Molly, McKenzie reaches down to start twisting the water main and pulling up wires, looking for a good target to douse, since Victor was nice enough to provide an idea to give her some range.

	"Oh, now we're talking." McKenzie snarls, turning the water main towards Molly and putting the exposed wires in front of it. She's pretty sure, if the girl is at all in her weight class, that it won't stop her, but it may slow her down a bit. McKenzie could care less about fair fights. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly threw her arms up in front of her, charging through the stream until she reached McKenzie. She threw a left hook at McKenzie's face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

McKenzie staggers back, looking surprised and testing her jaw.

"Huh, you hit as hard as that blonde chick with the imitation Thor-mallet." she muses aloud, actually seeming impressed.

"If you take a hit better, this might even be a real fight." Granted, that last fight, the last time she was really let loose, she also took a cheap shot from behind on someone who'd just fought Count Nefaria. As far as McKenzie is concerned, it counts.

She lunges back, swinging a right at Molly.

	The hit connected, and Molly staggered back. "You want to dance?" She spat, throwing the hat she was wearing off to the side. "Let's dance, then." She charged McKenzie, throwing a series of punches. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

To her credit, McKenzie gives as good as she gets, and she's a hell of a brawler. She has to give credit where its due though, this girl is STRONG. She probably shouldn't have thrown her weapon.

Still, she sets her feet and swings back, trading punches and taking her lumps. Cheater and cheap-shot artist she may be, but like her dad, she's not afraid of a stand up fight either.

	Molly took the punches, throwing back her own. She countered with a kick square to McKenzie's stomach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

McKenzie grunts, doubling over, but managing to backpedal enough that she doesn't walk right into the uppercut that always follows that move. She's about to retort when she gets the order to retreat.

"Damn it." she snarls. Best fight she's had in ages.

She slams both fists down on the street to break it out from under Molly to cover her retreat. Then she runs for her ball and chain...

	The street breaking sent Molly flying backward, into a car. "Ow," she said, slowly getting to her feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)
