nameless - "Checkmate."
Parasol - "No way."
nameless - "Yes way ! Look !"
...
Parasol - "You're an ass."
nameless - "Hehehehhh ... rack 'em."
________
The Starfire spins a half donut and reverses to park nose out in the lot.
Alley - "We've got half an hour to kill." Taps her fingers on the wheel looking at the questionable truck stop diner and pub. "Wanna start a bar fight ?"
Mary - "Hell yeah."
Parasol - Drops her Gamebrick, "Ooo ... I wanna bar fight !"
Geneva - Loading her gun, "Have fun, but if it gets out of hand I'm burning it down."
~ Car doors slam.
Alley - "Sometimes it can be hard, that's the fun part. It's like they'll hit their wives at home but play all noble in public."
Mary - "Not so much a problem for lesbians."
Alley - "Hm. Well usually the game is to make one guy fight another, but I'm feeling the need to stretch these new wings. And being in the fight is kinda legendary."
Parasol - "Barfight ... "
____
Alley - To some random giant of a man, "Well here's you taking the piss with no dick to speak of."
Giant - "Hey now ... "
Mary - "Well whip out that clit Sharlene, I wanna see it." Wages her tongue between her fingers.
Giant - "That's just ... "
Parasol - "Is he the one we wanna fight ? Ummmm ... Pansy-cakes !" Slaps him across the face.
Giant - Feeling his jaw because she actually hits really fucking hard, "Listen kids ... "
From behind them the right kind of asshole puts his hand on Parasol's shoulder. "We don't appreciate 'your kind' around here.
They turn in slow motion with excitement smiles as his fist approaches, in real time caught by the giant man.
Giant
man - "Don't go hittin' the ladies." Hits him hard across the room and
back to his rising friends, it's on for the credits.
~ F M K ~
They ravage the bar with some unknown giant of a man ...
In the end Geneva loads her pistol and walks in. Immediately after they stand outside watching it burn with the giant.
He nods his head ... "Ladies. Been a pleasure." Heads for his truck, they watch him pull away.
Geneva - Pulls out her phone. "Bio-containment site on stone 327. Situation resolved." Hangs up and watches the fire.
Mary - "One - of - us."
With Alley and Parasol - "One - of - us. One - of - us. One - of - us."
His truck joins formation with the rest, among them the patient as they all drive on for the next shifting road.
In
his cell the asylum beast looks down at the cat, a smile. The cat
looks back as it almost innocently draws a claw across one of the many
symbols in the beaten room, breaking it.
~ The Abstraction ~
He stands and walks for the door, tubes snapping off and pouring out. Their placements shoot out of his back as he stretches before the way out, healing beneath, spine cracking well.
With a roar like a hell's gong the vault door
flies off the frame, the sound's continuation carrying it down the hall
of it's own width, crushing the many guards.

Geneva - Last checks on her pistol, she loads, pops the magazine and thumbs another round in, returns it. "So what else is on your weird list ?"
Alley - "Police chase."Parasol - "I wanna be in a police chase !"
~ They whiz by screaming at the police car, middle fingers in the air.
Geneva stands up into slow motion and shoots the passenger cop as he watches the bullet fly into his own eye. Catches the shell and sits back down. Loads another into the chamber and pulls the magazine, replacing that bullet from her pocket.
Geneva - As they stare, "And done is done." Holsters under the jacket.
...
Alley - Burst out laughing, "Holy Fuck this is going to be expensive."
~ Geneva tosses the spent shell over the side as they speed away, road changing one world to the next ahead, swinging arms of another to another place entirely above, the siren blasts by after.
