The Adventures of Jordan & Emily - The American Road Trip

While the two redheads exchanged a few words, Lana would set to work on healing them. First time experiencing psychic healing was quite weird for a lot of people. Feeling a wave of energy consume them and begin to ease away their pain and heal their injuries, but not being able to actually see or touch said energy, would probably be enough to trip anyone out; especially so if they were in a state of being hungover and/or newly awoken. The energy would disappear after a few minutes, and by the end of it, they would be feeling stronger and more energized. The whole healing process had little to no effect on Lana though. While it did take quite a bit of concentration, the injuries were minor enough that she wouldn't feel any physical or mental drain from it. "Alright, you're all healed now, so you should be good for awhile. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to join you. Something's come up and I need to deal with it. Have fun." Lana handed the keys for the RV to Emily, as well as a card and a note that had the card's pin written on it. Then, without another word, she turned and left the building. Once she was outside, she pulled out her phone to call for a cab to take her home.

Just so everyone is aware, I am still in the RP. My apologies for not clarifying this sooner.

The Adventures of Jordan & Emily - The American Road Trip

Lana kept blaring the horn over and over again for several minutes after Emily had come out onto the balcony and gone back inside, until one of the other flat's tenants came outside to see what was going on. The green haired woman didn't give them much chance to say anything as she climbed out of the RV and marched her way inside, leaving the poor man in a daze. "Emily! What the fuck is taking you so long?! Lana cried out while casually letting herself into the flat. Locked doors weren't a problem for her thanks to her powers.

"Wow, you two look like shit." She stated with a chuckle as she stepped into the room and got a good look at the two redheads. They were covered in bruises, scrapes and cuts, and those were just the injuries she could see. Lana was a little shocked to find the Guildy bitch in Emily's home, but the two of them had a complicated friendship, so it probably wasn't the weirdest situation the two of them had been in. She actually wouldn't be surprised if the two of them were sleeping together, though if that were the case, she only hoped it wouldn't make things awkward on the roadtrip. Three whole months of third wheeling sounded like hell.

The Adventures of Jordan & Emily - The American Road Trip

Lana just sighed and rolled her eyes, she didn't have time to sit around and try and change Emily's mind, the road trip was happening and now she was apart of it. All she could do now was work out some time off with her boss and set up a meeting with Al to arrange they cash they needed, as well as some how find a vehicle. Lana bid the two of them farewell while getting up from her seat and heading for the door. As she walked she pulled out her phone to make a call.

"Hey Al, I need a favor. Where are you?
Okay great, see you soon."

>>>>Time skip to the next morning around 6:00am<<<<

Normally Lana would protest to being up so early, but she had put so much time and effort into negotiating time off with her boss, striking a deal with Aloysius and finding them a suitable vehicle for the road trip Emily had suckered her into, that she decided it was worth it to get a little revenge. She pulled up outside the other woman's home in a large black RV, and blared the horn several times to get her attention, hoping it would be enough to draw her outside.

The Adventures of Jordan & Emily - The American Road Trip

"First of all, my name is not 'little miss green haired bitch' it's Lana, and I would appreciate it if you would drop that snarky little attitude. Secondly, I have absolutely zero interest in your odd obsession with beating the shit out of each other. Thirdly, I never agreed to any of this. Lastly, and probably most importantly, you can't go around stealing vehicles and sleeping with people for money. Lana was trying her best to keep her voice low and avoid drawing anymore attention their way. Anyone that did look over, however, wasn't looking for long before they received a death glare from her.

"Now, if this idiotic ex-boss you mention is the one I'm thinking of, I may have a way of getting money and a ride from him that wouldn't include sleeping with him. And I may be willing to help if you can promise me you're not going to be stupid and get anyone killed. Can you promise that Em?

The Adventures of Jordan & Emily - The American Road Trip

Lana had to admit, it would be nice to get out of the city for awhile, the place harbored a lot of bad memories, and the offer to see the Guildy getting beat up every night was tempting. Not to mention how much she would love to help Emily, even if it was for a ridiculous cause. But she had commitments of her own, one of which was her job. She couldn't just skip town for who knows how long. She would lose her job and her only source of income, which would leave her with nowhere to live when they got back. It also brought up a few other concerns. "Let's say, hypothetically, I did go with you. Where do you plan on getting the money to fund this road trip? And what vehicle would we be using? I can drive, but none of us have a car."

The Adventures of Jordan & Emily - The American Road Trip

Lana was still too out of breath to speak much, so the only response she could give to Emily for pulling out the chair for her was a grateful nod as she sat down. Once she was comfortable she signalled to the waiter to bring her a glass of water. Once she had it in hand, she drowned it in a few gulps, all while listening to what her redheaded friend had to say. As she came to the end of her statement, Lana almost choked on the last mouthful of water she had. It took her a few moments to recover, and while she was, she cast several glares over at the second redhead at the table, the one Em introduced as the one she got into fights with. Typically she wouldn't have a problem with that, but the fact that she was a Guildy was enough for the green haired woman to hate her already.

Once Lana had recovered from her choking fit, she took a deep breath and tried to compose herself, it was getting a little difficult to keep her frustration underwraps agter hearing what Emily had to say. "So let me get this straight. Not only is there no emergency, meaning I left work in the middle of my break and ran all the way here for nothing, you also want me to help you go on some ridiculous cross country brawl fest with her?! For fucks sake Em, this is not what I meant when I said you could call me whenever you were in trouble!"

The Adventures of Jordan & Emily - The American Road Trip

It's going to be amusing seeing them try to explain to Lana what is actually happening while trying to keep her from losing her shit because she ran all that way for nothing.

The Adventures of Jordan & Emily - The American Road Trip

Lana was just heading outside to take her break when she received the call from Emily, which she naturally answered right away. Emily was one of the only people she remained in contact with after the fall of Dark Shadow. The two had become quite close during their time in service for the organisation, and the redhead was one of the only friends Lana even had, so when she heard the other woman say it was an emergency, she flew into quite a panic.

She didn't waste anytime explaining to anyone where she was going, and didn't even wait around to call a cab, she just started running as fast as she could to the cafe. Fortunately it wasn't very far, and she made it there ten minutes later. By the time she got there she was completely out of breath, but she kept going. Lana shoved passed a couple who were on their way inside, burst through the door, and began frantically looking around for any sign of her friend. Her actions had drawn the attention of nearly everyone else in the cafe, but she didn't care. As soon as she caught sight of Emily's bright red hair she went rushing over. "I...got here...as fast...as I...could...what...happened?!"

Lana was fuming by the time Salem had left. The woman had been an utter bitch the majority of the time she was there, but even so, her anger wasn't directed towards her. That bastard Zeke had nearly fooled her into helping him infiltrate Dark Shadow. That was something she wasn't going to let go without repercussions. That would have to wait until after work though. While she carried out the rest of her shift she did her best to avoid the other mage as much as possible. The more she was around him, the bigger the risk she ran of having her anger boil over, and she couldn't afford to do anything with other people around. Fortunately time seemed to fly by, and her work was done before she even knew it. All she had left to do was lock up.

Zeke had seen Lana come out of the the break room when she had finished speaking with Salem. He could tell she was mad but that didn't stop him from trying to talk to her. He did wait till the end of the work day, however, hoping that it would give her time to cool off...or at least avoid to much attention if she hadn't. She had avoided him the whole day but by closing time he caught up with her, thinking better of tapping her shoulder or anything to get her attention he simply walked up and asked "Hey Lana, do you have a moment?"

Lana hadn't seen Zeke on her way to lock up, and assumed he had gone home. She was disappointed, but figured it was for the best. She knew Aloysius didn't like them interacting with Guildys anyway, especially if those interactions lead to fighting. For the most part her temper had settled and all she could think about was how great it would be to finally get home and relax. Until out of nowhere she heard the man's voice from behind her, catching her off guard and making her go tense. The anger that had faded came bubbling back up the instant she heard his voice. She quickly finished locking the door and stuffed the store keys into her pocket, before turning on her heels and throwing a concentrated blast at Zeke's chest. Clearly, she wasn't in the mood to talk.

Zeke was barely able to say much more as she rushed the door close and whirled around and threw force into his chest. The blast was hard enough to send him flying back, sending him a few feet before he suddenly stopped, levitating in the air slightly as he caught himself with his own power. One hand was on his his chest and he slowly regain his breath, but even his breathing seemed to turn somewhat aggressive. In a very different tone of voice from the one he had before he muttered "So it's going to be like that -hn- hmm?" he would’ve taken the hit, waited longer and talked the next day perhaps, but between the surprise attack and instinctive use of his power he had slipped control and this other side of him very much wanted to return the favor. And return it he did, still hovering a just bit off the floor he twitched his free hand slightly, sending his own bolt of force straight for Lana's chest.

Zeke's sudden change in voice and demeanor caught Lana's attention. He had gone from a quiet, soft spoken man, to something more sinister in a manner of seconds. It was a little unnerving, but not enough to make her second guess her decision to start a fight with him; she was still angry. Probably too angry. She was notorious among Dark Shadow for letting her emotions -especially her anger- cloud her judgement. This case was no different.

Her anger also tended to make her arrogant, which is why she took the hit from the bolt of energy he threw at her straight on. She could have blocked it, but she wanted to see how strong he was. The impact sent her reeling backwards a few feet, but in the end she was actually disappointed. Lana had managed to hold herself up on her feet and prevent herself from being moved too much by binding herself to the ground, but that didn't do anything to stop the hit from hurting, and causing her to have to take a moment to recover from being slightly winded. "That all you got?" She scoffed at him while sending several larger and stronger but less direct blasts back at him.

Zeke moved quickly when she threw her next set of attacks, sliding left in the air as he was still levitating slightly. His eyes followed the attacks as they whooshed past and devastated much of what was behind him. Upon seeing that he turned around with a wicked grin "haha, you've got some power in you! not only could she hit hard but she took a shot to the chest like a champ, this could be fun. Still hovering he turned his body toward her and reached out with his power, this time instead of going directly for an attack he reached for her sides, it would be as if two large invisible hands were clamping down from either side of her. Meanwhile the slight movements of his hands were the visual indication that he was trying something.

Lana cursed under breath as she watched him effortlessly drift to the side to avoid her attack. Even though her attack was pretty predictable, she still didn't expect him to see through it so easily. It was almost as if he had sensed it coming. Which would make sense, as they both had the power to manipulate the telekinetic force. He seemed to be more adept at it than she was however, she hardly noticed herself being constricted from either side by his energy until it was too late. He had a hold of her, which was quite unnerving, but it wouldn't be long before she would start pushing back against his grasp. Eventually she would have pushed back enough to be free to move again. She didn't waste any time then, and launched herself into the air, flying right towards him, her hand cocked back and ready to release a powerful telekinetic punch to his face.

Zeke had gotten a hold of her but she broke free a lot quicker than he thought. She came flying right toward him, prepared with a slightly more conventional means of attack. If the damage she left to the store behind him was anything to go by she could throw a lot of power into a hit but she threw it around like a brawler, heavy-handed but rather basic. Still, if she gets a hold of him it's over. With that in mind he dodged her attack by dropping backwards, using a combination of his telekinetics and her own momentum to propel her over him and send her flying past. The move still left him tumbling through the air for a moment before he regained his composure, but as he did his faced had changed again this time with shock and concern as he looked in her direction "oh fuck! I'm so sorry!"

Lana was prepared to follow Zeke down as he dodged, but her own momentum, mixed with what she could only assume was his telekinetic force, kept carrying her through the air, over him, and eventually into the wall of a nearby building. There wasn't any structural damage, but the force from the impact was enough to knock all the wind out her lungs so she couldn't even groan from the pain she felt. There was definitely going to be some bruising from that.

She lay on the ground, unmoving, for a few moments; trying to recover from hitting into the wall. Her back and ribs ached, but her anger wasn't going to let her quit. After a minute or two, Lana slowly pushed herself back up to her feet and turned to face him. His mood seemed to have changed again, but she couldn't care less about that. She went straight back onto the offensive, summoning too waves of energy on either side of him, like two invisible walls, and pulling them together in an attempt to crush him between them.

Zeke felt the two walls coming in just before he was crushed. On instinct he put up barriers to try and stop them but he was straining to hold them at bay. Thinking quick he turned his attention to Lana, reaching out toward her. He tried to pull apart the skin on her arms, creating small cuts and gashes. The goal was more to break her focus than cause damage.

Lana cried out at the feeling of the skin on her arms being torn apart to create small cuts. The gashes were only small but they were painful, enough so that it broke her focus from trying push past Zeke’s barriers and crush him. The walls she had built up disappeared as her attention turned to the wounds on her arms, and trying to figure out what the hell was causing it so she could make it stop. Of course the obvious answer was Zeke, he was the only other person around, but she didn't know that was even possible to do with telekinesis. This man was incredibly efficient with his magic, and it seemed not even her stronger power level would be enough to stand against him. Her anger was slowly beginning to subside as her thoughts changed from wanting to fight to needing to find an escape.

Zeke's effort paid off. Not only did Lana's walls fall but she was distracted by her sudden injuries. Aiming to take advantage of her momentary distraction he broke apart the force of his own barriers into several small projectiles, sending them at her quickly one after the other. Hopefully if they all hit they'd be enough to pummel her and knock her out of this fight.

Lana didn't sense the next attack coming unt it was too late. She was still focused on the new injuries on her arms when she suddenly felt herself being pummeled by several small projectiles. Most of them hit her body in the chest and abdomen area, a couple hit her face, and the rest hit her arms and legs. The attack ended up knocking her to the ground, but this time she was in too much pain to get up again.

Zeke waited until it became apparent that she wasn't getting back up before he approached Lana. Finally letting himself down and walking over to kneel beside her prone form and sighing "For what it's worth Lana, I'm still sorry about lying to you...and for this he reached out with one hand and brushed along her arm, closing the wounds he caused as he talked "You've got a lot of power in you, but you don't have much control. I can help you with that if you want, train you" he pulled his hand back, finished healing her arms "Least I can do right? make up for what happened?" he sighed again and stood up, looking around at the mess they made. He looked back and offered his hand to help her up, they'd have to clear off quick.

Panic began to set in as Lana watched Zeke approach her, in her mind there were only two possible outcomes. The first was him killing her, and the second was him arresting her and taking her back to The Guild; which honestly seemed like a worse fate than death considering what they did to people like her. She didn't want either though, and tried her best to wriggle herself away from him, but she didn't get very far before he knelt down beside her and did the strangest thing. He healed her arms. But that wasn't even the craziest part. He also offered to train her with her magic before standing up and reaching his hand out to help her up.

Lana of course didn't trust him, and refused to take his hand, preferring to try and push herself up while using the wall behind her for support instead. ”Fuck you, I don't need your help.” She sneered weakly at him. With the gashes on her arms gone, she was able to steady herself against the wall with one arm, while reaching into her pocket to pull out her phone with the other. Surprisingly her phone hadn't suffered any damage in the fight, which she was quite grateful for because it meant she was still able to call herself a cab to take her home.

Zeke pulled his hand away and stepped back "If you're sure" He lingered for a bit, standing a short distance away intent on making sure she would make it out of here alright "If you ever change your mind, well...I think we can find eachother easy enough"

Lana was more focused on stumbling her way out of there and getting in the cab she had called, than listening to what Zeke had to stay. The guy seemed unstable so she wanted to get out of their as quickly as she could before he snapped again and tried to kill her. She didn't believe he wanted to help her for a second, though she would admit that the idea of being trained in her power by another telekinetic would be great.

>>>>Small time skip to 10:57PM<<<<

She arrived at her apartment building half an hour later. The driver insisted on taking her to the hospital several times, but she refused each time. All she wanted to do was get home and get some rest. It was a hellish time making her way up to the third floor to her apartment, and by the time she got there, she was too exhausted to make it to her bed, and collapsed onto her couch instead.

She was grateful for the soft but firm support the couch gave her, but she couldn't get completely comfortable as her mind could only focus on the aching pain throughout her whole body. That's when the most unexpected thing happened; she began to heal herself. She didn't even know it was possible, but she wasn't going to question it. Eventually her injuries would be healed to the point where her pain was bearable enough she could fall asleep. Her body continued to heal through the night as she slept.
