Leo

His eyes slid shut for a moment. Two. Then he forced them open again. “I think she’s no danger us. I also think we could all use that chair and ice, and maybe a cup of tea.”

He scanned the alley around them, noting the flickering highlights and target boxes. The police would not doubt mark this as a crime…[Read more]

Barnes

How was she supposed to prove something like that? He was right; there was very little reason to believe her, and although she was school staff, that wasn’t enough for him.

Barnes breathed out loudly through her nose. After a few seconds of thought, she twisted and dug around in her jacket pocket. She pulled o…[Read more]

Leo is very uncomfortable. XD

Leo

“Alright, kind of creepy mask lady who I think said your name was Barnes.” Leo tried on a smile, found it fit, and left it on. It would at least sound like he was smiling. “I think we need to find our way home. Is there a mode of transportation nearby which we could aquire with e…[Read more]

Barnes

She gave him a long, expressionless look, which she only realized a few moments later. He couldn’t see her flickering eyes and mouth, as her thoughts came to a semblance of reasoning. Reasoning kept her sane, kept her so calm, that no one ever got to know her.

She nodded to herself, and bowed her head over his h…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Considering Leo already went a round of treating Rory, even ignoring rest of this wild day, his uniform is probably not spotless.

Leo

He watched the exchange with growing concern, not that either of the others could see it through his darkened visor.

“We need to go home. I may not have a full medical bay at the…[Read more]

Barnes

Barnes knelt so she was on level with Rory’s hands, and began to gently wrap them with the cloth. “I stand to gain your health and safety.”

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

*Sighs while vaguely waving a hand in the air*

Thanks y’all.

@ellette-giselle

*barnes seems to have a thing for ripping clothing. lol*

Huh, I guess you’re right.

Barnes

The look in his eyes twinged in Barnes’ heart, but she kept her voice low and stable.

“Look.” She held up her hands to his. Both of them had deep scrapes from the concrete. Rory’s were a lot worse, since he had fallen farther. “These ca…[Read more]

Barnes

Two figures stumbled around the church. Leo and Rory. They were ready to leave, although the younger looked entirely exhausted.

Barnes got up, and gave the two boys a quick look before she faced away. “…Just a moment.”

She ripped off her other sleeve. Pushing her mask up her face, she tore at the sleeve with…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Isn’t it? I suppose one must find something to laugh about when slugging through modern political world views.

*Gazes off into the distance like some deep thinking philosopher*

*Steps backwards off porch*

@ellette-giselle

But hey, it could be worse. You could be writing a Grammer textbook.

I think I find more typos in school reading than in anything else. But then nowadays that most of the reading I do, sadly.

@ellette-giselle

YIPPY!

(though Rory won’t think so lol)

Hehe I thought not

oh no! what happened?

I’ve depended too much on arm strength and I have whiplash from trying to grab my opponents. I also have really bad circulation so that isn’t any help. :’)

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Leo

He blinked. Looked at Rory. Smiled even though he knew the kid wouldn’t be able to it see through his visor.

“Thanks Rory.” He whispered with a light squeeze of his arm around the boy’s shoulder.

They stepped around the corner into sight of the white masked lady with the ruined blouse.

@ellette-giselle

Ooooooh…that hurts. I have so far picked out two typos in the one story that I have published and they drive me nuts every time I see them.

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

I didn’t meet them up, but I also wanted to give Rory a moment to process. He’s like to need it, poor kid.

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle

Leo

He scanned the street around them and gave a grim smile at the silence. Rory’s voice sounded beside him. “Which direction? Where are your siblings?”

Leo smiled. “Left, and they’re at home.”

He led them around the corner of the church.

“Rory, the lady from the bus is on the back porch.” He felt Rory sti…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @koshka

I’m here, you can connect with Barnes and get moving together.

@ellette-giselle

She was kind of beat up herself.

Leo

“Or two?” Leo’s voice fell flat into his Older Brother Chide “You’re not walking all the way home. Because if you walk that far we’d be going to hospital for them to treat you for a punctured lung, or two.”

Leo scooped up his gauntlets and clicked his helmet back in place, taking a moment t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo

His teeth grit together against the fury rising up the back of his throat. Thirsty. He could fix that.

“I’ll get you water, but don’t you dare go to sleep on me, Kid.” He used Rory’s color to wipe the blood from his cheek, then stumbled to his feet.

First, to find water. There, a sign for a bathroom just outside the main…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo

Alarm flashed behind Leo’s eyes like a rotating siren. He eased Rory back down and cupped the boy’s face in his hands. “Yes, I’ll take you home. But, Rory! Stay with me. Where are you hurt?”

He gave him a gentle shake to get those hazy green eyes to focus.
