[h1][center]Collab Post! [color=#c0001d]Eris[/color] and [color=gold]Queen of Gold[/color][/center][/h1] [quote=@BunniesOfDoom]“You'll have to kill me else I'll do it again. And again. And again. Can you do that, angel? Can you kill someone in cold blood?” [/quote] Kate was taken out of the moment with the strange woman's dare and let out a hearty laugh, before looking back down at the woman with her smile gone. [color=gold]"I've killed thousands...one is nothing."[/color] Eris was taken aback by the woman's response, her eyes growing wide with a wild glint. [color=#c0001d]"Oh, that's hot."[/color] Kate tilted her head and contorted her face in confusion. This woman was clearly on a different wavelength than anyone Kate had encountered on battlefields past. She had to admit, it was a refreshing change of pace, but she also didn't appreciate being distracted so much. Thankfully, her mind returned to the situation at hand by the noise she heard...or rather, the lack of it. It seemed the chaos in the crowd had subsided since Kate had tackled the woman. It worked! But she still had to deal with the woman herself. She mentally shook her head at the woman's next quip...a goddess Kate may have been, but she was useless in a medical emergency. After all, she was the goddess of war, not the goddess of healing. But before she could reply, the strange woman pulled her close and...kissed her??? Between the kiss itself and the fact that this woman was apparently melting into the ground, Kate found herself uncharacteristically confused. She clearly still had a lot to learn about this world, and worse still was the fact that she wasn't entirely mad at being kissed. [color=gold]"What...was that...?"[/color] she whispered to the woman, a bewildered look on her face. A sick grin crossed Eris's face as she leaned forward once more, placing a hand on the girl's cheek. She was about to respond about liking a hero who could throw her around when the sounds of tree roots ripping from the ground echoed. Her eyes snapped over to the newcomer and she frowned fiercely. [color=#c0001d]"I'm gonna need you to hold your breath."[/color] She reached up with a her free hand to grab a hold of the front of her outfit before she flung herself back, pulling the two into the ground. Any projectiles thrown their way crashed into the liquid ground and began to sink but they were safe under it all. Of course, they couldn't see since there was no light to be found underground and it wasn't a good idea to keep your eyes open in liquid earth. Eris pulled them along, groping around until she found the barrier of solid earth where her magic ended. She dug her hands in, clawing along the wall until they pushed through the surface again. Crawling their way out of the ground, Eris took a deep breath before looking ahead at the enraged telepath. [color=#c0001d]"Oye! Get your own hero! This one is mine!"[/color] Kate managed to hold her breath just in time, completely unsure of what was going on but hating every second. Somehow her brain had calculated that this strange woman that had just kissed her was more trustworthy than whoever had just thrown what sounded like a tree at them, but she wasn't happy that her brain had reached that conclusion. In any case, the second they left the ground and were back on the surface, Kate shot up with her wings to distance herself from both strange women who were apparently very interested in throwing either things or themselves at her. Before she could say anything to either, the first strange woman called out to the other and claimed possession of Kate? This caused Kate to violently shake her head, wishing for this apparent free-for-all to be over. [color=gold]"I [i]hated[/i] that,"[/color] she said to the woman below her, not even acknowledging the tree-thrower. [color=gold]"And I am most [i]certainly[/i] not 'yours',"[/color] she said with a snarl. Eris peered up at the angry angel, a sly grin crossing her features. [color=#c0001d]""Oh come on! You came to get me first, right? Some crazy telepath doesn't get to keep you just cause she can throw trees-"[/color] She peered around at the items flying about in a vortex, [color=#c0001d]""And signs. Is that a car?"[/color] She frowned at the overpowering sight before her as she turned her eyes once more on the photographer. [color=#c0001d]""Okay, I'm a little jealous. I wanna throw cars! You work with what you got, I guess."[/color] She shook out her arms, loosening her shoulders as she smiled at the enraged woman. [color=#c0001d]""Let's see how we can do this, yeah."[/color] She summoned condensed chaos into her hands and launched a bolt at the woman before compressing it down into stepping stones. These stones acted as a trail for her to follow as she stepping up into the air, quickly joining the angel there in the sky. [color=#c0001d]""You think she can hit this high?"[/color] [color=gold]"I'm not [i]hers[/i] either!"[/color] Kate exclaimed, growing more agitated. [color=gold]"Are you two fighting over me right now?! Can we just-"[/color] She was interrupted by a car flying directly at her. Without time to fly out of its path, in a split second Kate manifested a great sword, set it alight with flame, and sliced the car in two as it reached her, sending the two halves past her on either side. She turned to look at the first woman, who was now standing next to her in the air because of course she was. [color=gold]"You know, I actually [i]do[/i] think she can hit this high,"[/color] Kate said sarcastically. Eris peered down at the woman, stroking her chin in thought for a moment. She ran a bit away from Kate, watching as the woman followed her path before hurrying back to the angel's side. [color=#c0001d]""Oh yeah, no. It's definitely me. Jealous?"[/color] She said with a snicker as she peered up at the angel with raised eyebrows. Kate rolled her eyes. [color=gold]"It is not physically possible for me to be less jealous of you than I am right now,"[/color] she said with an annoyed edge. Finally, she acknowledged the other woman. [color=gold]"Will you stop throwing things?! Whose side are you on??"[/color] Eris chuckled lightly as she turned back to the woman on the ground. [color=#c0001d]""Yeah! Go away! I had a good thing going here!"[/color] [@Finetales][@BunniesOfDoom][@Eviledd1984]
