"No I haven't," she said, straightening herself out and grabbing the crowbar that she'd left on the floor. "This was the price of not being bitten." Her legs wobbled just a little as she stood up. Maybe she'd lost more blood than it looked like. With a huff, she sat back down. "If it's food you want, I ate it all. Yeah, all of it." She glared at Nicholas, not trusting him, and looked at the 'bandage'. It was stained, but it looked like the blood had dried, so hopefully it had stopped.

What a god-awful bandage, was all Mattie could think, other than that she was so so so thankful that she hadn't broken a bone or snapped a tendon. It had just been a scrape, albeit a deep and nasty one. The apartment building had been almost completely overrun, and, well, there was just no other way. She'd made a rope out of her bedsheets, briefly considered hanging herself, and then used it to climb out of her window. Unfortunately it wasn't quite long enough and she'd fallen the rest of the way, inflicting a horribly-painful gash on her upper left leg.
After that, having attracted the zombies' attention with the sound of her muttered but very emotionally-charged swearing, she'd run, difficult as it was, and taken shelter in a house with a surprising amount of food left in the fridge. But instead of rationing it like a wise human being, she, in her miserable state, guzzled and devoured every edible thing she could find that hadn't spoiled, and then she'd lain on the couch, stolen one of the shirts that she assumed belonged to the previous house owner, tore it up and wrapped it around her oozing wound.
She was half asleep when a voice drifted through the door. Mattie bolted into an upright position and yelped, "Butter my ass and call me a pancake!"

Alexis had been running all night alongside her feathered companion. Her feet tingled and her breath came easier than it would for most people. She had been up all night, too excited for the ceremony to sleep, and Delilah had been asleep for most of it but had tracked her scent just before dawn and rushed to join the sweat-covered huntress. The sun was now climbing, and from the angle of the shadows, Alexis became acutely aware that the time was coming close.
The scrub-oak around them disappeared and the grass under their feet turned to soft, cool dirt. There was already a crowd in the village, but from their laid-back appearances they were the early arrivals. Relieved, Alexis retired into her cylindrical stone-brick home, where her parents were waiting with the gorgeous ceremonial clothing that was required dress-code for this day. While Delilah waited patiently outside, her mother thrust the clothes into Alexis' arms. "Where were you all night?!" she cried, then before her daughter could answer, she snapped, "Get dressed."
The four of them, once the tension had subsided, went together to join the crowd. The chief was standing solemnly on a sandy colored rock in the center of what could only be described as a town square, and though his face wore no expression there was something in the way he carried himself that sent energy crackling through the whole crowd. The soft chatter that had been background noise for the past several minutes disappeared almost instantly when the old man raised his dagger in an order for silence. Delilah snorted in a way that said, "His authority doesn't apply to me."
"People of Uzhin! The stars have shown me the way. It is not I who has selected the worthy on this day, but the stars."
He paused dramatically, making some of the crowd squirm in anticipation.
"Alexis Blair and her faithful companion, the deinonychus Delilah!" shouted the chief. The reaction was mixed; some people whipped around to stare, some gasped in surprise, some visibly scowled after having made enemies with Alexis. Her parents looked to be nearly in tears as, too shocked to fully process what was happening, Alexis followed the clear-headed Delilah to the rock. The chief raised his voice again, as he apparently loved to do:
"Show all of Dinosapia that you are truly worthy!"
And the crowd, as it loved to do, went wild.

If it's not too late, supervillain x superhero sounds interesting! Although I don't really belong to any superhero fandoms.
Name: Alexis Blair
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Partner: Deinonychus (my favorite dinosaur, oh my god.)
Weapon: A sickle
Special Skills: Cooperative, good cardiovascular endurance, really sharp nails!
Dino
Name: Delilah
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Gem: Turquoise
Village info:
Uzhin is a village located in hilly grassland and almost completely surrounded by scrub-oak. Much of the buildings are made of carved sandstone, with dirt floors and tunnels and sometimes, open ceilings. They have a near-obsession with astronomy, and most of their food is procured through hunting; many of the villagers' dinosaur partners are also their hunting partners. From a very young age, children learn to use and make knives and other sharp tools, and they are rarely coddled. Physical fitness is also very important and disabled or unfit villagers are generally pitied.
Alexis' Bio:
Alexis was born for the hunting lifestyle. She spent the first eight years of her life fervently wishing to be just a little older, imagining what her dino would look like, picturing her first hunt with her non-human partner. When she received her egg, she carried it everywhere with her in a pouch and even accompanied hunting parties with it. Finally, when she was thirteen and Delilah hatched, she couldn't have been happier. She spoiled the baby dinosaur until her parents told her 'enough'.

THIS IS SO RAD I'M GONNA MAKE A CS RIGHT NOW!
Sorry for the short post! Might be editing and adding more.
Irked by Chris' comment and wanting to seem tough, but also still being frightened and knowing that her little anxiety attack made seeming tough impossible, Lucille looked at her shoes grouchily. "My name is Lucille," she muttered quietly. "Nice to meet you Lester. And I'm, um, sorry about the freak-out. I have higher levels of, what, cortisol? Something like that. And I..." An embarrassed pause. "I get really deluded when I'm off my meds. And m-more paranoid than usual."
She went quiet to think of a name for the group. "The slightly-less-mentally-insane-than-the-others squad. Although...maybe I would invalidate that name."
