She let out a whoop of excitement when Andrew stole the device from Wanda. Clever, turning it all small like that! Of course, that was why he was one of those super smart science dudes. She did her best to keep out of the way but unfortunately was unable to do so. The blasts from Wanda had knocked her backward. She rolled on the floor to her final position on her stomach. Her hammer slipped from her fingers and spun across the floor.

The explosion rocked the room and she stumbled a bit as she attempted to stand up, finding herself on her stomach again. The acrid smell of burning plastics and hot metals filled her nostrils and she coughed. She flipped her messy mane of hair from her face and came to terms with the nothing that was before her. Many, many times she had seen someone die. It was inevitable with junkies who never got better. But there was always a body. Maybe Andrew escape? Maybe he was just really super small right now.

"Andrew," she managed to squeak out, her voice unwilling to form the word. She coughed and tried again, calling louder and perhaps more hysterically, "Andrew!?"

And then Watts was on top of Wanda. Bobbi stood in shock, not sure how to stop this onslaught. Lucky for the Witch, Wes appeared.

He was just in time for the explosion. What had caused it and where it came from was a complete mystery to him for now. All he knew was that Andrew was missing and that Watts was going to reem them out later for the damage done to his laboratory. He skidded to a halt at the doorway as he took in the aftermath of the chaos. Bobbi stood aside, attempting several times to call out Andrew's name before finally managing a raspy breath that sounded like words. Watts was enraged.

Before he could do anything the man was on top of Wanda, beating her to a pulp. This did not sit well with him. Just because she had done wrong did not mean she deserved such punishment. He ran forward and managed to hook his arm around Watts' through those lightning-fast punches. Luck or skill, whatever allowed him this first chance at getting it, he thanked. He pulled Watts from the woman with a low growl. "This is not appropriate. Get ahold of your self, man." Despite the speed with which Watts railed against him, Wesley held fast.

"Do not worry cher, I never pay no mind to no one." She had learned to mostly tune Casper out when he went on his little tirades to no one. She didn't want to draw attention to him since a mutant's abilities could work in mysterious and wacky ways. She made an effort to be sneaky behind Jack the closer they got to the building. She was about to reach into the void to pull something out which might be helpful when a shoe went flying. Bobbi blinked and another shoe flew. She looked toward Casper and made a sour face at him, sticking out her tongue. "That is how you get caught mon amie." Her voice was a hissed whisper as she turned her attention back to the task at hand. Getting a long-range weapon.

She reached her arm through the void and her fingers touched something right away. She was a bit surprised. She pulled it out and what came through boggled her mind. She had never before pulled out a gun. She stared at it in complete horror and held the rifle like object as if it might explode. She held it out to Jack. "Here," she said with a soft whisper. And then she caught the name on the handle of the gun. First Strike. Guns normally didn't have that sort of thing on them. Did they? She didn't know much about guns. Unknowingly, what our tiny drug addict pulled from the void was a paintball gun.

"He will be coming with us until I can work my Craft upon him." Fatima breathed a sigh of relief at this. She could perhaps lobby for him to not be killed. Perhaps to even keep him close. She desperately wanted this connection to her old life but understood the need for the sacrifice of it if she were to join this band of rebels. "A word, Lord Jandar."

“I will be but a moment, my Lady." Fatima inclined her head, giving her understanding. She did not at all mind and his gesture of concern for her was well received. Her Court was feeling much more like HER COURT and it was an odd one. Well, odd feeling though the Court could be described as odd as well in so far. She turned her attention to Jassen with a smile and moved toward him. Once at his side she reached out and grabbed two of his fingers, much like she would do when she was little. Unfortunately, it seemed the man was quite upset. Her smile turned to concern as she listened to him speak.

"Lady, it is a trap. How can we trust this Widow? Let alone the Reaper."

She mulled this over thoughtfully, pressing close to Jassen as the move out of the tavern. Her brows furrowed as she considered this as an option. Could it be a trap? In what way? What would these rebels gain from capturing or murdering a Queen? Well, of course, there was the Queen Killer among them. But this was her Queen Killer. Something about that made him okay. And she could understand why the action was done, even if it was considered in poor taste. She turned bright, white-gold eyes upon the man who had been her companion throughout her entire life.

"Maybe we can trust them. I could not voice why to you," she said in a low whisper, excitement edging the notes of her tones. "There is something in my gut that screams 'YES!' and I would do well to listen to it. The Reaper is one of mine. This is a man who will protect me. I am absolutely sure of it. And Jandar as well. I had been prevented so long from forming this Court but no one told me how much it would seem like a part of me had always been missing and now is coming together. And even if it is a trap, I think refusing it, not taking up this chance, would be a greater evil." For a moment she thought about the dead boy she had once held. "I have a chance to help not only our people but everyone as well. And once that is done, I can come back to our little village." She let out a small, bell-like laugh. "Mayhaps I am waxing a bit poetic but... Things feel right to me." She shook her head and patted his arm. "It will be alright. I can feel a fresh breeze upon my face." She gave him one last stunning smile before she skipped ahead (quite literally) to catch Xandar before he flew off. "Would you take me with you? Perhaps it is presumptuous to ask but I have never flown before!"

The shockwave sent Bobbi flying backward. She was unable to turn the fall into a roll and instead just bounced along the ground. The toy hammer striking surfaces as she tumbled added comedy to her tragedy. With a groan, Bobbi got to her feet, unwilling to let the Witch get what she was coming after. Whatever that thing in her hands was, it was obviously important. Otherwise, she wouldn't be after it would she? Watts' lightning surprised her and even worse when he started shouting, throwing a temper-tantrum. Was it that big a deal? Calm the fuck down man.

She couldn't continue fighting with the stupid toy hammer. With a deep breath, she calmed herself and reached once against into the void. After a few moments of digging around her hand clasped something. When she drew the object out it was indeed her trusty hammer. Captain KO had now entered the fray. Bobbi gave a whoop of delight. She threw the stupid toy hammer at Wanda, the toy seeming to aim true. However, the toy was deflected and instead hit the raging Watts in the face. Bobbi clasped a hand over her mouth as she made an audible gasp. She was going to get an earful later and it would be so hard to keep a straight face.

Enough dilly-dallying though. She charged Wanda, swinging her hammer low in order to sweep the woman's feet from beneath her. Unfortunately, this did not hit and Bobbi cursed softly.

Wesley merely smiled at the woman good-naturedly. She was more off than expired milk but he couldn't place his finger quite on what it was. He had a great suspicion she knew exactly what was going on behind the scenes. His quiet, happy reserve was almost broken when Watts screamed in his ear. He gave Gardner a slight bow. "I am glad to hear it. I need to check on the team but I hope there is a chance to chat again before the eve is out." He then turned and left. He walked calmly through the ballroom and only once the doors to the hall shut behind him did he begin to sprint.

How unlucky this all was. Well, he supposed luck had nothing to do with it at all. If Gardner was planning some shady things, having them underprepared and distracted was the way to go. He quietly cursed himself for not having left sooner. He had not gleaned much else from their CEO and had wasted precious minutes. Now Watts was going to tear them all to shreds and shriek like a banshee in a wind turbine for their failures. He wondered idly if the serum is what gave him the predilection to a short fuse.

Mona nodded in response, "Good, good." He voice was soft as she looked over the devastation which had befallen the feast. The tables on fire and the corpses which littered the ground were not the best way to celebrate things. She heaved a great sigh. Hell, she was even holding someone's head in her hand. How bizarre this all was. She turned her attention back upon the young guard. "Nay, I 'aven't seen 'er since dah fightin' began. If I see 'er I'll send 'er yer way." Mona inclined her head slightly before making her way toward the palace.

Inside she could further see the destruction which had settled over everything. More bodies and blood. She shook her head, feeling cold. This was all so very wrong. She moved further into the palace. Despite her time here she did not know it very well and knew not where it was she headed. She was attempting to go toward the barracks where she and Amarantha had seen the odd ghostly lady.
By this point Guy had quite a bit to drink, Sunshine having plied him with delicious concotions. Not that it would take much to knock the six foot man on his ass, being that he had maybe drank alcohol one other time in his life. At a family event. With his tipsy mother’s permission. He scrubbed a hand over his face, knocking his fake glasses askew as he made his way into the master bedroom. He just needed some place quiet for a minute.

He sat on the bed, flopping back into the decadent sheets with his arms splayed out. He really wished the world would stop trying to wiggle out from beneath him. His mind was a dangerous place, plucking at emotions and heart strings like a two year old on a stradivarius. A drunken poet’s mind. Ha! There was naught left to do but quote the master -

“When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme
In praise of ladies dead, and lovely knights,
Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty’s best,
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have express’d
Even such a beauty as you master now.
So all their praises are but prophecies
Of this our time, all you prefiguring;
And, for they look’d but with divining eyes,
They had not skill enough your worth to sing:
For we, which now behold these present days,
Had eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.”


His deep voice rumbled out the sonnet in a drunken slur. When he finished he heard a noise from the direction of the bathroom. He sat up a might too quickly and felt the world churn around him. He steadied himself on the bed, a hand against his head. “Is someone here?” he called. He stood and moved toward the bathroom door.

There was shuffling on the other side of the door before an exaggerated high-pitched tone called out, Ocupado!

Aiden giggled hysterically afterward and stumbled out of the bathroom, almost tripping over his own feet. Guy was surprised by this and stumbled backward, knocking back down onto the bed. There was a red solo cup in Aiden’s hand with crystal clear content sloshing around. (And only a fool would think it was water) “You have nice words, dude. You know who else has nice words? Fuckin’ Kanye West. You like cool old Ye-We?”

Aiden jumped onto the bed and bounced a few times, next to where he was splayed out. The movement made Guy's stomach roll. The way he talked to Guy was almost like they had already been conversing for an hour and Guy just hadn’t happened to be present. Aiden patted Guy’s hand, “Of course, of course you like Ye-We.”

To be honest, Aiden didn’t really know how he had gotten here. He had gotten into that fight with Sawyer, wandered off to sniff out his usual drug dealer, and then he ended up here. This was pretty typical of him.

Sitting up, Guy glanced at the hand which touched his. Surprise colored his features. He wasn't opposed to the touch, rather it was the freedom with which he was touched. Twice now. People who drank seemed to be quite physical (and talkative.) And, apparently, when Guy drank he didn't mind.

"Thank you," he said softly, unsure of how else to respond. He certainly didn't know what a 'Ye-We' was nor was he keen on finding out. "It was Shakespeare." Despite his level of intoxication he was glad to know he managed to keep his speech clear and his diction impeccable. First-timers luck and loads of practice for the stage.

"So…" Aiden drawled, "If you're so good with those fancy words, you must be good with talkin' and stuff? What I'm sayin' is: what dat mouf do?"

Aiden waggled his eyebrows dramatically, then laughed at himself because he knew he was the funniest person in the world. The red solo cup was still full and Aiden downed it in one go, watching the boy from the corner of his eye. It was hard to read him when his vision was a little blurry on the sides, but he tried to concentrate to see how the other reacted to Aiden's words. Aiden didn’t want to come onto someone when they weren’t feeling it. He may not have been the most decent person around, but he was not a total scumbag like that.

Guy coughed, surprise catching up his throat. His eyes widened and a hot flush spread over his cheeks. While the other boy drank his mysterious liquid, Guy looked down at his own knees as he brushed his hair back from his face. Was it just him or was it getting quite warm in here? "Well," he finally responded. Well what? His brain was all foggy and he was having trouble thinking straight. But the boy next to him sure was cute though. "That's a big question," he finished. "What would you like it to do?"

“You look - fuck, what’s that word - frastered - no, flu-flustered!” Aiden grinned, proud of his cleverness. “You look flustered. Do I make you nervous?”

Guy lifted his face so that his eyes could meet Aiden’s. He wasn’t entirely sure how to respond to that. He was having trouble responding to much of anything really. “A little I guess,” he finally said with a lopsided grin. “I’m Guy.” He reached out a hand to shake Aiden’s. It was getting hot in here, wasn’t it?

Aiden supposed it was rather normal to exchange names in this kind of situation. He was never good with remembering names (or faces), so he stopped asking a while ago. After this party, he really should sit back and reevaluate his life choices if drinking and sleazing his way through the school's population had become common behavior. He wouldn’t though.

"Hi, Guy." Aiden drawled, scooting closer to Guy and placing his arm around him. He wasn't touching Guy, not yet, but he hovered oh so close. "I'm Aiden. But people call me the Wine-and-Dine Man, 'cause I'm a 5-star restaurant."

The closeness caused Guy to lean back slightly for a moment, as it was rather unexpected. However, he could not say that the way his heart started to thump at a rapid tempo was uncomfortable and he found himself leaning closer to Aiden. He laughed at the other boy’s joke as he removed his coat and tossed it to the floor. “I think I’ll stick to Aiden. A Celtic sun god. Fiery. Very befitting,” he said lazily.

"Huh. Well, you learn something new every day." He moved in closer, his breath a whisper against Guy's lips.

Aiden reached over Guy's lap and caged him with his arms. His lips hovered over his newfound friend, but he didn't close the distance. Instead, he waited for Guy to make the move, to finish what Aiden started.

For a split second his body tensed in panic. Another man was very, VERY close to him. A portion of his brain, the rational part that listened very carefully to dad’s homophobia screamed at him to leave. However, the drunken, emotional part of his brain longed for touch. The hot breath which touched his lips had an odd but not unpleasant scent to it. His body relaxed and he gave in as he leaned into Aiden. His lips lightly brushed across his as his hand reached up to rest lightly on Aiden’s neck.

Aiden returned the kiss with fervor, molding his lips against Guy's before moving down to press open-mouth kisses to his neck and collarbone. His palm kneaded into Guy's hip, but his hands stayed relatively above the belt. Hesitancy radiated from the other and Aiden didn't want to push more than Guy was willing to give. Still, he let his fingers tug slightly at the hem of his sweater to see if Guy would be willing to take his shirt off.

The energy Aiden instilled into the kisses caused Guy’s breath to catch. He leaned his head back to allow Aiden better access to his neck and then helped to remove the sweater to reveal with white tank beneath. He was getting awfully warm and so the cool, air-conditioned air on his bare skin felt divine. The kisses Aiden placed over him left a trail of fire in their wake. Guy pressed closer, catching up Aiden’s lips with his own. His kisses were languid and lazy, adding a slow heat to the moment. This wasn’t a race after all and he enjoyed the way his new friend tasted.

Aiden slid his yellow shirt off with ease, muscle memory keeping his arms from tangling up, and tossed the t-shirt into the nether of the room. He followed Guy's pace, slowing down, his teeth occasionally catching Guy's lip playfully. In return Guy licked Aiden’s upper lip with the tip of his tongue. One of his hands came up to cradle Guy's jaw in his hand, his fingers tugging slightly at the strands of his hair.

The hand in his hair caused Guy to release a quiet moan of pleasure which surprised him. He pulled back and looked into Aiden’s face with some confusion covering his own. His mouth then split into a lopsided grin and he laughed lightly at himself. “Wow,” he breathed. “I need to cool down a second.” He was getting overly hot. It turned out it wasn’t the room but he who was generating all of this heat. He stood on shaky drunken legs, almost fell back into the bed but managed to steady himself. Turning to Aiden he placed his hands on his cheeks and a soft kiss on the boy’s forehead as he said, “I will be right back.”

He made his way to the bathroom with little incident. The plan had been to splash some water onto his face and take a breath. However, drunk feet were not graceful. He tripped over the bathmat, tried to hang onto the shower curtain for support, ended up taking the shower curtain down as he fell into the tub. His booted foot hit the handle for the faucet and sent cold water streaming out of the showerhead down onto the fallen archaeologist. Wrapped up in a curtain, water spilling over his face, and one leg hanging out of the tub, Guy lay there in a haze of drunken confusion. What the hell had just happened?

Aiden pouted at Guy’s back, his lip jutting out childishly. Just as things were starting to get good, Guy had to retreat. Well, things could be worse, Aiden supposes. He could not make out at all and wouldn't that be a shame. He was content to stay on the bed and maybe doze off eventually, but a racket drew him to the bathroom.

"Well, isn't this a pretty sight!" Aiden said jovially, winking multiple times with such exaggerated enthusiasm he looked to be having a seizure.

Guy turned wide, shocked eyes upon the boy he had just been kissing. A hot blush coated his cheeks as he worked to untangle himself from the shower curtain. “I was attacked!” he said with humor. He was feeling rather playful. Sure his back hurt a bit and he was drenched but… He was in a better mood than he’d been earlier. “Help me up?” He reached out a hand to Aiden.

Aiden eyed Guy’s hand with a mischievous eyebrow raise and a mock-thinking pose, “What do I get if I help you up?” He leaned forward, his hands bracing his body against the lip of the tub.

A charming grin spread across Guy’s features as he leaned upward, his face less than a foot away from Aiden’s. “A whirlwind romance,” he responded huskily as he moved his hand around the back of Aiden’s neck. He closed the distance and feathered a kiss across the boy’s lips. Leaning back slightly so that he could see the other boy’s brown and bloodshot hues, the charming smile turned to dastardly rake. He pressed his lips harder against Aiden’s, dropping a bit of fire into the touch before he pulled the young man into the tub on top of him. “I suppose we could just stay here too.”

“I was hoping for some chocolate or maybe a beer,” Aiden laughed, breathing the words onto Guy’s lips, “But this works, too.”

His hand gripped the nape of Guy’s neck and slid their lips together like a jigsaw puzzle. A buzzing thought in the back of his mind wondered if they would melt from the warmth that was creeping along his spine. Aiden always was a summer kind of guy, so he pulled Guy as close to him as possible and relished in the feeling of searing heat.

The rough kisses sent shockwaves through his nervous system. He was glad of the lukewarm water which was flowing over the pair. It made flesh slippery and Guy was very much enjoying letting his fingers rove over the other boy’s musculature. In between the kisses, he responded, “Whatever you desire. I would bring you a star if it pleased you.” His foggy brain had stopped providing any sort of filter for his thoughts. As a true romantic, this encounter would be treated with exquisite attention. Aiden would be the only person in his world for a time and he would be damn sure that his every whim come true.

He brushed kisses along Aiden’s jaw as his poet’s brain began to do as it often did - “She walks in beauty, like the night,” his low voice was a rumble as he spoke the words against the boy’s skin. His lips moved down his neck, ghosting kisses and playful nips punctuating his words. “Of cloudless climes and starry skies,” Gentle kisses over his collarbone. “And all that’s best of dark and bright meet in her aspect and her eyes.” He drew back a moment and looked up at Aiden before he took the boy’s hand in his. “Thus mellowed to that tender light which heaven to gaudy day denies.” He kissed the inside of his wrist, careful and light before licking the spot and dragging his teeth over the sensitive flesh.

“Careful, you could make a guy fall in love.” Aiden whispered, before gently pushing Guy away and climbing out of the bathtub. Having someone wax poetry to you was quite the sensual experience, but it also seemed intimate in a way that made Aiden’s skin crawl. Like he was taking advantage of an unsuspecting victim. It was time he got the hell out of there, to be honest before this went too far too quick for Guy and his poor sappy heart.

I think it’s time for another beer.” Aiden smiled, though it didn’t reach his eyes, “Maybe I’ll see you at school.” Or maybe he wouldn’t. Most likely he wouldn’t.

Bobbi clapped in delight. "Oh, how fantastique~ I agree, a picture to mark this occasion!" The slender woman reached her arm into the void and after a few moments of digging around pulled out a disposable camera. It was fresh, she even had to remove packaging. Lucky! She snapped a quick picture of Anastasia and a couple of the rest of the group before placing the camera into one of the pouches she wore.

She listened intently to the directions given and nodded in understanding before she followed Casper and Jack to their destination. She even went as far as to link arms with Casper and give him a wide grin. "What say you to a selfie before we enter the fray?" she inquired with excitement. The brand new camera had her in a tizzy and she was all for documenting Team Theivey-pants' wonderful adventure. Though she was quite exuberant her voice was a soft whisper. She would not give away their position foolishly.

The plan for her was to follow other's directions. She was not a leader. She was a smash and grab kinda lady. So, basically, her plan was no plan. Besides enjoying her time getting into this facility. Bobbi practically glowed like a pregnant woman with her glee of the job. For her, the adventure was in the getting, not necessarily the goods. Though a paycheque was a bonus.

“Jandar Varan, from Kaeleer. I suppose this is as good a time as any to say that I’ve come here to find irrefutable evidence that the ambassadors we’ve sent here so far had been unlawfully acted against. I also believe finding SaDiablo and returning him to Kaeleer would be immensely helpful,”

Fatima stiffened at the mention of the black jeweled Warlord Prince. Her heart pumped hard and she gripped the back of the wooden chair. The Queen Killer. She hoped to never lay eyes upon him. He had a reputation. And it terrified her. Like the big bad boogeyman hiding beneath her bed. He would slit her throat and torture her just as he would any other Queen.

She lowered her gaze as she attempted to calm her nerves. Unfortunately, all sorts of new information was assaulting her. Faeril had been weakened. She could not bring Jassen despite all of the years of service to her just because he was not an official part of her Court. Fatima pulled her arms about herself as she chewed on her lower lip. She looked at Jassen. The man, as many of those who had served her mother's Court, had been good to her. He took care of her. And he tended to be much less stern with her than some of the others, perhaps contributing to her wild nature. She brushed her fingers through her hair and looked toward Faeril. She would have to make a decision and soon.

"While the fate of this man is surely, important to some degree, I have a bad feeling about our current situation. My name is Xandar Markov, as a formality, but I am more often referred to by an Alias that has shown only the worst of me I'm afraid. That being said, with me being here, the Queen, ambassadors, Faeril, and all the attention and new faces running through here... I can't help but get the feeling that we would have some unexpected company rather soon. I never stayed in the same place long for this reason. It's not a matter of if, but when they come, what shall we do then? Once we figure that out I'm happy to discuss this new world order business."

Brows furrowed in confusion. Why would anyone be looking for them? What was the alias? Was it because of the association with the Black Widow? And with her in such a weakened state this would not turn out well. Anxiety rippled through her guts. There was so much going on at once. But one thing Fatima was good at was running. She excelled at staying away from those who might hurt her. She chewed on a thumbnail as she continued to take in the information.

“The Reaper, wasn’t it,”

Her blood ran cold and she froze. The anxiety that had been sparking in her stomach finally burst into burning fear. She could have vomited right then and there. Her face paled as she turned her eyes upon Xandar. She had not realized that he was... She had certainly sensed his danger and that he could kill her in an instant should he wish it. But she hadn't thought... She had not anticipated he be the Reaper. Another Queen Killer. How foolish and brazen she had been earlier. Fatima fought to keep from taking a step back and away from the group. No. Xandar had said he would serve her. He wouldn't hurt her now. Not yet. It was fine. It was all fine. Fatima closed her eyes and breathed deeply.

“Perhaps we reduce their numbers and Faeril could alter the memories of the remaining ones? Or we try to infiltrate their HQ in turn and destroy or convert them from the inside?”

While Jandar's advice was sound, they had yet to face such an enemy. No numbers to count. No bodies to bloody the ground. And infiltration would be exceedingly dangerous with their small numbers. Fatima opened her eyes. She had been silent up to this point. Now seemed the correct time to give her thoughts. "Firstly," she walked over to stand next to the Widow. "It would be wise to move where the casualty of civilians would be at a minimum. That is to say, it would be a shame to see this bar ruined. And the Widow needs rest before she can do much more weaving - be it to kill one of mine or to erase his mind. We can get to that later." She gave Jassen a meaningful look. She would fight for him. As she would fight for anyone who was under her care. "For now, if there is a concern, it would be best to work on the move. While feet walk, mouths can talk." Her eyes alighted on each person in the room for a moment. Her words were soft and even and did not relay the intense fear that was fermenting her insides.

She'd not heard Myrus speak to her as her entire being was on eradicating the immediate menace that was the vampires. In any case, she approached the final one and had asked it to jump into the fire. Seemingly she had forgotten that heads, generally speaking, can't do very much at all by themselves. She nudged it lightly with her boot and shook her head. To destroy it or no? It was, at this point helpless and unable to do very much at all. Mona crouched in front of it and watched it attempt to speak but with no lungs to push air through its voicebox there could be no sound.

She reached out a hand and drew a line in front of the creature's mouth. "Silent as a dead man's grave, who's been forgotten by King and Knave, may your lips be sealed tight, as a crypt from pure daylight." She spoke the spell with special clarity and watched the vampire. It appeared unable to open its mouth which meant the spell must be working. She lifted the head up by its hair before trotting back toward the civilian. "Suppose we oughta find someone in charge." Before she would do so, she looked toward the Palace Guards. She would make sure they could handle the remaining enemies before going into the palace.

Bobbi caught up in time to watch Watts fall backward from the barrier. She did not bother to attempt to cover up her laughter as the grump asshole lay flat on his back. Served him right. "You sure you're cut out of this old man?" she inquired with a teasing sneer. This joy was short-lived though as they had to deal with the crazy woman in the lab. She followed a bit behind Watts so as to not get in the way but to also see what the Witch would have in store for them. The best way to prepare for a cage fight was to watch other cage fighters, after all. This was her first true battle with the team and once she got a feel for how they did things she could step in. She was a brawler, the last thing she wanted to do was hit either Watts or Andrew. Okay, maybe Watts a little bit.

The Witch was proving formidable and it was time for her to stop standing at the sidelines. She pushed her hand into the void to call her faithful, trusty, and dependable companion - Captain KO - to the killing field. She dug around a moment before her fingers wrapped around a handle and she pulled the object to her location. Unfortunately, Captain KO had decided not to make an appearance. In its stead was a squeaky toy hammer. Bobbi stared at it in disbelief before shaking her head and turning in time to see Wanda smash Watts into the ground. Bobbi hemmed and hawed on how soon she should go to his rescue when Andrew came to his aid. Fine, time to stop fuckin around.

Bobbi rushed further into the room, tossing the toy hammer at Wanda's face. Bullseye! It struck the woman right in the nose with a pathetic squeak and Bobbi was not far behind. Another misfortune - the Witch sidestepped and Bobbi moved past her, tumbling forward. She managed to save herself though and while nowhere near ballerina-esque she was able to turn the fall into a roll to come back up into a standing position. On the way to upright, she snatched up her toy hammer and turned her attention on Wanda. "Right bitch. Its a mother fucking party, don't you wanna dance with me? I'm hurt," she taunted.
