"What if?"/ Sample post
She is a thief, a pirate, and a Thangarian. So many other things too wrapped up into a leather and velvet clad piece of danger. Which was why she had been flying from it in a tiny little shuttle that did not get her far. Not with the injuries she hadn't had time to see to. That was how she had ended up crashing the shuttle. Too much pain and the need to land.

She was also terrified. So when a Saint Rouch cop gets his arm broken. Then makes a call because a Thangarian just flew off? Someone has to take notice. And it is an old city too so she gets distracted by how pretty it is. Then lands with a painful thud in the church yard of an old place. She stares up at it in the night and chuckles.

"How pretty." Then she sits up slipping and sliding in the grass just a bit before she starts to poke at her wounds and starts trying to treat them.

She'd go back for the shuttle latter. Maybe see if she could call her Uncle. But she hears something and pulls out her gun ans hopes she can aim straight. She certainly couldn't fly straight.

"Someone there? Ya all better just b-back off. Don't need any trouble. Make 'nough of that on my own."

	"Shoot me and you're goin' to the hospital, kid. I take that sort of thing personally." Warhawk growls, his mace in his right hand as he hovers to a landing about ten feet from the girl. "You attacked a cop. Bad stuff happens to people who do that." he says. (Reply to this)(Thread)

"Well what the hell was he doing walking into a shuttle unannounced," she snapped. Her fingers don't waver and she just lets out a small vicious snarl.

"You won't. Not if I get ya so you can't chase me, Wingman. I ain't going anywhere."

Wingman? What was wrong with her. That's like calling someone a copper. She's not impressed with herself at this moment and pulls herself up testing one of her wings. It was strained and some of the flight feathers had been singed. She wouldn't be flying straight.

"Just stay back."

If she were a guy, Rex would just punch her in the face and call it a night. She's not, though, and Rex can't just do that.

Moreover, she reminds him, oddly of his sister and he wouldn't just punch Pnnt until she got the point.

"Look, kid. That officer you hurt has a family. Someone who is dependin' on him to come home safe so that he can keep the food on the table. What you did to him might keep him from that, whether or not he snuck up on you.

You're on Earth and you gotta abide by Earth's rules if you're gonna stay. Otherwise, you'll end up with people a lot worse than me chasin' you, and they aren't gonna let you point a gun at them. They'll just beat you up and let you tough out the pain later.

So, why don't you lower the gun and talk with me a little?" Rex asks.

Oh that actually hits home. She looks down right ashamed of that.

"I'm sorry. I've been keyed up and freaked out for... For hours. Didn't want to actually hurt him. Reflex. You run with the kinda crowd I do and a broken arm is almost a love tap," she gives a shake of her head.

She puts the gun down and sighs. She's hurting enough as it is.

No need to make it worse. She's certain that he's going easy on her.

	"Okay, let's talk a little. Call me Warhawk, for right now. Why don't you tell me your name, or what I can call you, and we'll start there." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Sheraeria Thos. Call me Sher," she offers.

"Gods. The way you were acting I thought I got busted by a Wingman or something." She pulled one of her gloves off to rub at her face. Some of the white face make up she wore to give herself a paler complection streaks and she sighs. She feels like shit and is going to look like a clown, great.

"That's the cops on Thangar, by the way. You don't look like yer from the home world. Me I left it as soon as I could. Place is damn oppressive. They don't like mouthy kids apparently. Who woulda thought that?"

Rex grunts at the mention of Thanagar. He was there when he was a boy. They didn't take kindly to him.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm only half-Thanagarian; they don't take kindly to half-breeds on Thanagar and I recently had to send one of their generals home without his wings because he came here and tried to rape sister and force her to marry him." Rex growls.

"But I know a little about the Wingmen. Not all of 'em are bad, but just enough of them are to make things difficult." he says.

"Nice to meet you, though, Sher. You stayin' anywhere?" he asks.

"Yeeah, that would cause a problem," she says after a moment eying him with wide eyes. "They don't like different that much. It messes with the order of things."

The next part about his sister has her grow wide eyed then hiss something in very guttural tones. Not a language spoken on Earth obviously. "He what? Good. On Thangar they do worse to people like that. They toss them from the highest building on Thangar. They say you either find remorse, the Gods, or the realization you're damned. If you're a real piece of work, all three."

She gives him a bitter look. "That's outside of the Downside. You likely got to see the pretty parts of Thangar. For all our talk of being better? Earthmen are the better race, as far as I've heard. Least these people get a taste of real freedom even if they can't soar."

She actually laughs then coughs painfully. "No. I pretty much crashed the shuttle I was in. Don't think Earth Inns take Galactic standard credits. And I'm kinda beat up here so, not like I'm willing to use less than legal means to find a bed."

He was going to regret this. He knew it. But if he left her out here, someone was going to end up with a broken neck or worse...or she'd get attacked by someone who still held a grudge against the Thanagarians for the crap they pulled last year.

"I've got spare room at my place. You can crash there for a night or two while we figure out how to get you back in the air." Rex says.

"I know a guy who's pretty good with technology. If your ship is busted up, he can probably help." Rex says.

What the hell man. Stop surprising the younger, so to speak, Thangarian. He might only be a half-breed but she views him as an adult of their people. He sure as hell acts like it.

"That's... workable. I can't quite figure it out on my own. It wasn't my job," she said with a shrug.

"I'll behave and not cause too much trouble. I promise. Can't guarantee there won't be trouble. I get mouthy and I'm a little beat up so I'm liable to get grouchy."

	"I get the feeling you and my sister will get along just fine." Rex chuckles. If they don't kill each other. he adds in his head. "Can you fly or am I carryin' you?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She's going to just smirk a little. "Sounds like fun." She tests her wings carefully. One doesn't feel like it's stretching fully but she's determined to not be carried. "I can fly. Just might need to get more height than usual." (Reply to this)(Parent)
