The Timekeeper nodded to them in greeting, then turning his attention back into the sky. It probably wasn't a surprise Dr. Moller and Binky were going to be late. He could only hope they last until they arrive. Minutes gone by and no sign of their target so far. Uncontent with simply sitting there doing nothing, the boy let Eddy out of his pocket, resting him in his free hand. Eddy tried to shake the rain dropplets off him, appearing unamused. [color=seagreen]"This Diver guy sure is taking his [i]sweet[/i] time..."[/color] The puppet glanced around, then back at Fable. [color=seagreen]"Think we had time to get an umbrella?"[/color] The boy in turn rose a brow at him. [color=goldenrod]"What? Worried the blood's gonna leave a stain?"[/color] He asked him. Eddy snorted. [color=seagreen]"Look at yourself, kid! I'm surprised you're not shortcircuiting with how drenched we got."[/color] He responded in a snicker. Fable sighed. [color=goldenrod]"We have other things to worry about, Ed. We wouldn't have time to run to a store that [i]happened[/i] to sell umbrellas, much less one that hasn't scrammed cause of this shit. Once we're through here, I'll see about getting any blood off you, alright?"[/color] He reassured him, then going back to keeping an eye on the sky without another word. Yet his thoughts seemed to wander. Lydia's life was on the line here, as far as he knew, but he couldn't help worry about his parents too. Fable frowned. [color=goldenrod]"I hope they're somewhere safe..."[/color] He muttered to no one. He'll have to come up with an excuse if his family was looking for him right now. Eddy noticed the boy's change in mood, and with an empathic frown opened his mouth to offer some reassurances. But then something caught his eye across the street. The puppet scowled towards [i]him[/i]. [color=seagreen]"We got company."[/color] Finn's heart dropped once he looked up to who just so happened to drop by. Justin was here. [i][color=goldenrod]Why?[/color][/i] [i]Betty[/i] was here. [i][color=goldenrod]Why here?! Why [b]NOW[/b]?!?[/color][/i] [i]As if things were bad enough![/i] Finn couldn't help trembling under Betty's scornful glare. He couldn't help it, cause Baphomet wasn't the only demon he feared. It took a bit of will not to look back to the last time he tried to fight Betty, lest he be petrified. The other lady. She must be Pac-A-Fist. [i][color=goldenrod]Don't tell me she got turned too...?[/color][/i] Didn't Binky say espers can resist that brainwash crap?! God, whatever the case was, this only fueled his need, no, [i]desire[/i] to bash that cocky grin of Justin's into the pavement. And oh, how his words gratted on the boy's ears. And how he held the two girls, [i]victims[/i] close to him as if [i]flaunting[/i] undeserved trophies. He planned all of this. [i]He planned all of this!!![/i] Whatever fear that threatened to creep up on Finn faded in an instant. He stopped trembling. If he wasn't truely angry back then... He was absolutely fucking livid now. [color=goldenrod][i]"You detestible son of a bitch, THEY'RE NOT YOURS!!"[/i][/color] Finn barked back at Justin, as if Betty and Pac-A-Fist weren't even there. Archs of lighting began to crackle through his body in rage. [color=goldenrod][i]"So this is it then?! You go into hiding like a pathetic coward until something capable of GENOCIDE rears it's ugly ass, then decide to pop up again, showing off your kidnapees in front of us as if you already WON?! AS IF, JACKASS! To kidnap an innocent girl, innocent PEOPLE is one thing, but her?!"[/i][/color] He pointed to Pac-A-Fist, the shook his head in disgust. [color=goldenrod][i]"You must really have a deathwish... But that's not all the shit you've pulled is there, you sick freak?! The renown from ripping your head off and mounting it on a fence, from behing a hero doesn't matter anymore! I'll kill you even if I have to turn this shithole city on it's head!!"[/i][/color] [color=seagreen]"We just need to hold out until the boss gets here, no doubt other espers are going to fight the Diver too! Divide the workload, make sure no one gets overwhelmed!"[/color] Eddy called out as he and Finn got into a battle-ready stance. And just in time too. The Diver's first spell was set in motion. ...Was that a hint of depravity in the young boy's furious eyes?
