[Location: Edge of the Speares District][Voice] Someone was wearing their bad idea jeans

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

[Well, that was a bad fucking idea cherry to top the sundae of bad fucking ideas. Cassie'd stumbled across that Adria bitch and had actually picked a fight with that...fucking superpower-handed bitch. And Cassie got, maybe, two lucky hits in. The rest of the time she was getting her ass handed to her. She'd just managed to get away and fucking ached all over. She was lightheaded and wanted to pass the fuck out.

Can't.

Not far enough away.

Leaving her van where it was, parked a block or two away from where Adria had been preaching, Cassie made her way down an alley until she was sure that Adria wasn't following. At some point, when she was making her way down the alley, her tablet - which was attached to her wrist - turned on, activating the voice mode. She slumped to the ground, crying out quietly at the pain that lanced through her.]

Fuck me running.....

You know that Adria bitch?

I...fuck.

I thought I could stop her.

I was wrong.

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

Adria? No, I'm pretty sure I don't know that bitch, but--

Where are you? Do you need help?

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

S-Simon's co-coming. Big time doctor type.

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

Simon? Oh, that Tam guy?

...that bad, huh. I'll... save my yelling for when you're better.

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Rocketman.

[Breathes a weak chuckle]

Thanks.

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

[...and because she can't help herself...]

Rocketman. Really?

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

He hates it.

[At least she's got her sense of humor intact.]

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

[And Cordelia is very relieved by that.]

Oh, I just bet Mr. Do-Dinosaurs-Still-Exist-In-Your-Time does.

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

Heh. Did he ask you that, or something?

[A weak chuckle.]

He treated me like I was fucking nuts when I told him I was from 2009.

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

Not really ask. More like, accuse. Creepo.

If you see him, kindly give him a thump on the head for me, will you? That is, if you can.

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

Those silly space folk.

[Cassie chuckled quietly.]

Chase, I'm still alive and have both my hands. Of course I can still thump him.

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear. Is he there yet?

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

[A long moment of silence as she looks around.]

Nah. Probably running as fast as his little doctor legs can carry him. He'll be here soon.

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll just... stay on the line and keep you talking until he arrives. Don't you dare pass out on me, Hack!

Who's Adria?

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

Shit, Chase. Don't need to get bossy.

[Chuckles softly.]

She's some superpowered bitch. Black hair. Tends to get preachy. Clucks on about the 'Origin' or some stupid shit like that.

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

Oh. That woman's Adria? Geez. Didn't really get a name from her when she started all preaching. Or maybe I just didn't care enough to listen. Yeah that's probably it.

Quick question: why did you go see her? Didn't you smell the crazy from tablet? I thought it was pretty unmistakable. You know, the crazy?

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's her. Annoying cunt.

Oh, I smelt it. And like a fucking idiot, I went after it with a goddamn baseball bat.

[A pained grunt escapes her as she tries to pull herself up into a more comfortable position.]

Fuck.

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

Well good thing you were able to get out of her crazy claws with your life!

What are you doing? Just lie still, damn it! Are you bleeding?

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

You missed it, though. Fucking tackled her like I was in the NFL.

[A small groan parts her lips.]

Trying not to sit with my neck almost bent in half from slouching against a damn wall. I may be in pain, but I'm not laying down in a goddamn alley.

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure it must have been quite a scene. Along with her wiping the ground with your ass, probably?

[Okay, so she lied. Yelling, one o'clock!]

What were you even thinking?

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

Wasn't so much on the ground as I was in the air. Got thrown against a wall.

[A heavy sigh causes her shoulders to rise and fall]

Don't think I was. Hadn't had a good fucking fight in nearly two months. Was getting ansty.

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

And you think that's a valid reason for picking a fight with Little Miss My-Eyes-Are-On-Freakin'-Fire?

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

Never said I had a good reason, did I? Didn't even say I was thinking.

[voice]

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

And look where it got you.

[voice]

[slasher-slayer.livejournal.com]

This may be the screaming pain talking but fuck you.

[She doesn't mean it, Cordy. It was the screaming pain.]
