((Drafts up to date again, so like this if we've not written before and you'd be interested in plotting something.))

Dani watched them closely for a moment, letting them settle on the stool for a moment before nodding her head with a small smile.

"You got it. Coming right up." Immediately, she began to prepare the stranger a whisky neat, hands grabbing the appropriate glass from the stand. "Hotels? Well, there's a Mercure about five minutes west from here, just up Main Street. But if you're not looking for anything that expensive, the Days Inn across town is pretty reasonable."

The door swung open just wide enough for the cold night air to slip inside—and with it, Vixen stepped through. The room seemed to tilt, subtly, as if acknowledging them before anyone else could. Their eyes, gold-flecked and alert, swept the bar, measuring exits, sensing danger, yet landing finally on Dani with a quiet intensity.

“Evening,” they said, sliding onto the stool, fingers brushing once against the counter. “Something strong. Doesn’t matter what—you choose. I'm not picky.”

There was a tension beneath the calm, a coiled energy that hinted at something dangerous waiting to spring. And even as exhaustion tugged at their edges, there was an undeniable magnetism in the way they carried themselves: a wolf at rest, but never off guard. "Do you have any hotel recs by the way?"

"Whatever, man. Still. If you think you're gonna get me to stay in that car, you gotta cuff me to the damn dash. Wait- no, don't... Forget I said that, don't get any ideas." Buck held up a hand in an attempt to shut down the thought of Hunter doing that. "Come on, have a little faith." The sad thing was, Hunter was right. He couldn't keep anything from Athena. "What she doesn't know won't kill her. So, we doing this or what?"

"You don't need to have a warrant to fight a fire either." Hunter countered, pointing out yet another difference between the two professions. The truth was that he already knew that Buck was going to tag along and there wasn't much he could do to stop it. The least he could do is hope that their hunch was wrong and it was nothing more than maybe a small waste of time. "You're a terrible liar so I'm sure she reads you like a book."

Things suddenly became very awkward and she dropped her gaze, eyes finding the floor for a moment while she processed what Nora said. It had been hard for Felicity, she hadn't expected to react the way she had back then, but the idea of what she had done and what she was committing to had terrified her. Did she regret running? Sure. Could she say that she wouldn't do it again if she had a do-over? Probably not.

"I've always been a coward, Nora. You knew that when we first met, I'm too shit scared to do anything. Anything except fuck up, that is. You didn't deserve that." Fliss surprised even herself with how honestly her words came out, but she looked over at the other finally. "You're still beautiful. I know I've got no right to say that, but it's true."

she hadn't expected felicity to waltz back into her life, not ever. least of all in some tiny roadside cafe. she turned slowly, meeting their gaze head on. the sight of her, there and grinning like the world had never ended between them, made something hot and bitter coil in nora's chest. "funny." tone clipped but not as steady as she wanted. "last i checked, disappearing without a word was a pretty solid reason to stay mad." she lifted the mug to her lips, buying herself a breath before lowering it again, eyes narrowing just a fraction. "and yet here you are. like nothing happened. but why am i really surprised? you were never reliable, anyway."

[etxrnaleclipse]

He couldn't begin to fathom how lucky he felt in that moment. He wasn't sure what had happened or why, but considering how he had been left for dead, the fact that this man found him was a miracle in itself.

"Serious?" he asked, keeping his voice at the level of a whisper to avoid straining his throat. "Guess I got someone looking out for me if I'm found by a medical professional..." He attempted to laugh, but it came out as a weak, pathetic sound before he coughed again, taking in a deep breath. "Trust me... Even if you wanted to know, I couldn't tell you. I have no idea... But thank you."

"And I'm still trying to," V promised. "We still gotta cool you down, Pedro. Exposure to extreme heat is not to be taken lightly. But I've got you." Though taking the matter seriously, V still managed to smile encouragingly. "You're not only incredibly lucky that I didn't manage to sell my old man's defunct gas station... yet again," he waved vaguely at their surroundings, "I'm a medical professional." V's smiled turned to a grin. "Seems like you're both the unluckiest and the luckiest person I've met in a while. So, I'm not going to ask what your sitch is all about. The less I know the better. I just wanna help."

[etxrnaleclipse]

"Why do you think I didn't use it?" There was an amused look on his face as he spoke, a soft chuckle following the words as he took a sip of his drink. It was good to catch up with an old friend like this, one who had seen all sides of Nigel and still somehow decided to stick around. "Really? You think there's something to it this time round? Or a bunch of rubbish?"

"You know as well as I do that the second anyone calls it... that word, it'll pick up and run with it." That word was quiet, of course. Back in San Antonio, they even had something like a swear jar for it. Sometimes, he said it on purpose just to tempt fate, but lunch wasn't a spot to do that. Definitely not. They'd both earned a simple afternoon. There was that one rumour he'd picked up on... it could wait. "They're thinkin' of shippin' me north for a little while. Specialist contractor whinin' about the rooks. Again."

A smile appeared on Yasmina's lips as she held out the bracelet, allowing the other woman to take it. Her eyes scanned over the item, taking in the colours adorning it. "It's beautiful. I'd hate to lose something like that. Is it sentimental?"

her bracelet clattered on the floor as she walks absentmindedly to her destination , beatrice hears footsteps coming towards her - soon turning as she's gazing at the other , then down at her wrist , an embarrassed chuckle leaving her lips . " oh , silly me . always dropping things . " eyes on the other as she smiles light , expression grateful for the other saving it . " thank you , i would've - gone crazy looking for it . "

"Oh you should absolutely never underestimate me." Fliss smirked over at him as she replied, eyes taking in his features for a moment before observing him opening the fridge. The cool rush of air felt nice against her skin, still warm from the adrenaline, and she looked over the options. "Hmm... Choices, choices." She was teasing, taking her time before reaching out and wrapping her hands around one of the bottles of beer. "You getting one? You can't let a girl drink alone, now."

dylan lets out a quiet laugh, holding up his hands in mock surrender. "hey, fair enough. guess i shouldn't underestimate the power of a determined glare... or you." the grin that follows is small but genuine, the kind that sticks around in his voice even after it fades from his face. he steps toward the fridge, pulling the door open with a squeak and nodding toward the shelves. he gestures for her to pick. as the cool air spills out of the fridge, an array of various drinks all neatly lined up stand before them. dylan glances back at her, brow ticking upward. "go on, hon. whatever y'like—dealer's choice."

Let's Get Trope-y @aflamboyanceofgays said: i  don't  know  why  but  i  hate  your  new  partner.

Confused, Theo turned to face the other. "Hate him?" he asked, curious as to why his friend would feel that way. "How come? He's a great guy."

[etxrnaleclipse]

Nicky stared at the other for a few moments. "I hardly find that a comforting thought..." How was he to know that this man's not shooting straight wouldn't have still wound up with himself being caught by a bullet. He was not a violent man, and being near a weapon like that - loaded or not - was uncomfortable for him. He waited patiently for the other to change, hoping that he wouldn't just shoot him in the back, so when he heard the comments, he glanced back over his shoulder.

"Sure. Landline is over there." He motioned towards the desk in the corner of the room, remaining on the spot to wait for him to do what he needed. As soon as he would get home, Nicky would likely collapse due to exhaustion but right now, he just needed this man gone.

"Not shooting you? What makes you think I was gonna shoot you?" He stops and tilts his head, "Oh, riiiight, the gun. I just had that on me from the lil' tussle I was in, it wasn't ta hold you hostage. I was barely functioning, no way was I gonna shoot straight."

He had a doctor on call that he'd contact when he got home, Riff probably needed blood and he certainly needed meds; but The Vet had down a great job of keeping him alive along enough to get home.

Riff redressed and was smirking as Nicky turned away. "Well, aren't you just a cute lil' peach, Nicky?" He chuckled, "What fuckin' adorable name and so polite."

Once he was done dressing he walked, more like hobbled, up to Nicky and clapped him on the shoulder. "You're alright, Doc, a stand up fella, I'll get on the mend again n' you'll hear from me soon." Riff had no intention of listening to Nicky's objections of not paying him back. "Say, can I use your phone? I need one of my guys to come pick me up, seems I've lost mine in the rumble."

"Well, I do enjoy surprising people, so that's good to hear." Quinn laughed at the idea, listening to what FP said about his own youth. It seemed that the two of them were perhaps rather different when they were kids, but that was good. It was new. "I had to be the picture of good behaviour. Suits and ties, perfectly combed hair." Part of him wondered whether FP would have ever seen him hiding in the background during his father's presidency. "Well... I uh... This never got out and I've never told anyone this before. I almost cost my father his job once. Got into a spot of trouble that would have royally screwed everything up if it got out."

"You are full of surprises. I was mostly expecting to hear that you hadnt been on one." FP chuckled just a bit. "Okay i think im starting to get the picture of you. I was a hellion in my own day. In and out of the Serpents, the military, couldnt hold down a job. Sleeping with anyone i could then i got married and had kids and that didnt work out well," He shook his head. He loved his kids but that didnt seem to be reciprocated. " So tell me more. What other trouble did you get up to?"

Felicity waltzed into the shop with a spring in her step, feeling rather good today. She had been enjoying a road trip across the country and was passing through town along the way, but when she eyed up the little cafe on the main strip, she couldn't resist. It was one thing that she had grown something of an addiction to, alongside her bloodlust, and she would need the caffeine kick.

But when she entered the doorway, instantly the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. There she was. Nora. The one who got away (well, technically she had ran away from the other, but that was just tiny details, right?).

"I uh... Wow. You look great." Fliss felt awkward, tugging at the sleeve of her jacket as she tried not to stare. "But you can't, right? I mean... Who could stay mad at me?" Her tactic of fighting with jokes came out instinctively.

the cafe hadn't changed much in over a century, except now it smelled faintly of roasted coffee instead of candle wax. nora perched in the corner, hands folded over her chest, eyes fixed on the door. and then they walked in. time hadn't softened the anger, hadn't dulled the ache that had settled into her chest the night they disappeared. but christ; they were still breathtaking. heart-stopping, pulse-jolting gorgeous, like nothing had changed except the weight of betrayal in her veins. "you." she hissed under her breath, a bitter laugh escaping. "i should hate you for all of eternity." but even as the words left her mouth, her chest betrayed her. / @etxrnaleclipse
