[quote=Tayla][color=DE198A]"Drake! Move out the way! She's trying to kill you!"[/color][/quote]

Drake didn't move or so much as flinch. 

He had his Thunder guard active, after all! 

He just ducked behind the electric barrier he had created, confident that it could stop whatever Luna had up her sleeve. He could hear Stormy and Sully shouting at Drake to stop, like [i]he[/i] was the bad guy here. Didn't they see the binoculars? The bitch was stalking them! She was either that Wolf Bastard or she was working for him! Drake knew it in his heart! They caught him flat-footed, and they [i]finally[/i] made a breakthrough. He didn't stop until Luna went limp and fell out of the tree into Stormy's arms...

... He erected barriers between the two of them.

[i]Like Drake was the bad guy here.[/i]

[quote=][color=00ff98]”Drake! That’s [i][b]enough![/b][/i] I’ve got her! [i]Drop your weapon![/i] This isn’t getting us anywhere! You and I are going to have a long and thorough discussion about [i]escalating[/i] later, Drake.”[/color][/quote]

[color=3874f4]”Bro...”[/color] Drake muttered under his breath with a roll of his eyes. Was Stormy [i]really [/i]going to take the side of some mafia bitch [i]that was stalking them[/i] over the word of his bro? Or did he want Luna later? What happened to the bro code? Bros before hoes! And this hoe had something up her sleeve. 

But, as requested, Drake dispelled both the Thunderguard and the Electric Flail. He was still surrounded by a small field of electricity as he was flying. However, he floated downwards, staring at Stormy so intensely that Stormy probably could feel it [i]through the shields[/i]. As he floated down, he crossed his arms and spoke to Stormy, defending his actions with full confidence.

[color=3874f4]”Me? Escalating?”[/color] Drake began. [color=3874f4]”Have you [i]already[/i] forgotten someone is [i]literally[/i] trying to kill us? Lyss died just the other day, Stormy. We can [b][i]NOT[/i][/b] afford to play games.”[/color]

He looked over to Tayla and Sully for a moment, [color=3874f4]”... Especially with shady motherfuckers like her! And two, you probably didn't hear it, but [i]someone[/i] sent her to spy on us, and she refused to tell us who. So I did what I had to.”[/color]

He hit the ground, threw his hands into the air, and said, [color=3874f4]”It could be that Wolf Bastard for all we know! That would make sense, wouldn't it? A [i]lot[/i] of sense.”[/color] He crossed his arms and said to Stormy, [color=3874f4]”And even if she isn't working with or for Father Wolf, you haven't been in St. Portwel [i]in over ten years,[/i] Stormy. Some of the groups that call St. Portwell home...?”[/color]

He let out a sarcastic chuckle.

[color=3874f4]”... Yeah, you [i]can't[/i] play softball with them.”[/color]

[quote=Tayla][color=DE198A]"Good going, Drake. Stormy, give him a break. If you felt what I felt from her, you wouldn't say anything about escalating. You said yourself that she couldn't be trusted. I didn't feel anything good coming off of her. There's...an intent there. I don't like it."[/color][/quote]

At least somebody had some sense here. Tayla knew that [i]something[/i] was [i]off[/i] with Luna, but you don't need Pink Lux for [i]that[/i]. Maybe the Mafia life wasn't what it was cracked up to be.

[color=3874f4]”Now, drop the shields, and let's go find something to tie her u-”[/color]

His speech was interrupted by Sully tackling him to the ground at Mach-Jesus.
