Whirlwind

|Heroes Among Us|

Dixie had woken up at 7am, like she did every morning, and started getting ready for the day. She put on her makeup, straightened than curled her hair, slipped on a short denim dress and her favorite boots and belt around her waist. Appearances were very important to her, for if she looked good, she felt good. If she appeared composed, she could pretend she was completely composed. Dixie looked at herself in her mirror, giving herself a pep talk about the day. Everyone was going to like her and be her friend. If they found crime, they would stop it without anyone getting hurt. Things were going to be just fine. She nodded, pulling out her Bible and praying for several minutes, almost losing track of time before realizing she needed to head to the command center.

Rushing her steps, but not jogging or running, making sure to still keep the appearance of a lady, Dixie made her way around the mansion. She hesitated a few times, almost getting lost, but she walked in a room and found some of her other teammates already gathered. And especially since Sam was there, she could assume this was the right spot. ”Umm… hi,” she said softly, a small wave to them all before leaning against a wall and folding her hands together behind her, hidden, so she could twist her fingers nervously without being judged.

A School for Deities.

Evera sat up on her bed and moved to stand , when she felt a creepy feeling up her spine. She frowned, walking past her closet which happened to have mirrored doors, only to see a black shadow behind her out of the corner of her eye. Alarmed, she looked fully at the mirror, but there was nothing there… anymore. She… she couldn’t have been wrong, right? She hesitated before shaking her head and clearing her throat, rubbing her chilled arms and moving quickly out of her room. She spun and slammed her door, as if whatever icky feeling she had would remain inside if she did so. She started to head down the hall, only to jump when she almost ran into Roxanne.

”Oh! Hi,” Evera said, looking sheepish with a light blush and tucking her hair behind her ears. She knew she appeared jumpy but she was hoping the other girl didn’t notice or didn’t ask. ”Um… so what are you up to? I took a nap so I haven’t explored much,” she said rapidly to keep from hearing any questions, eyes glancing to the side.

Eva - Her House/The Forence

Eva had eaten breakfast and watched a little tv before turning off the screen and sitting on the couch, looking around her empty house. Well… this was boring. It was her day off damn it and she was going to spend it with her fiancé whether he liked it or not. She set the remote down and got up, going to get dressed in her bedroom. She slipped out of her robe, and let it fall, grabbing some flared jeans and a black tank top. She got dressed in the simple outfit, curling her red hair and shrugging on a leather army green jacket Tony had gotten her last year for Christmas. Slipping on some black flip flops that she wore just about all year round barring December, she grabbed her purse and headed out.

Pulling up to the biker bar in her black CR-V, she seemed out of place, but she’d learned not to care a long time ago. She exited the vehicle, looking around and not seeing Tony’s bike. Or many bikes at all for that matter. Great, they were off doing whatever. Oh well. They’d be back. She sighed and decided to get something to drink inside while she waited, taking another look at the rock on her hand and smiling before going in.

Every time she walked into the bar, a flood of memories came crashing back to her, namely the night she and Tony had met. She'd been tipsy as hell and her friends had dared her to go inside. Never one to turn down a dare, she'd done it, only to see a guy at the bar catch her eye.

Flashback part 1

”Do you think a girl should have to buy her own whiskey?” she asked the guy, in a matter of fact voice, grin on her face.

Despite the loud music and brawling bikers, the girl’s voice was very distinct. Tony turned to his side intrigued by what he was about to find. First thing he noticed was the bright red hair, an unusual hue of the color. Secondly was what the girl was wearing, the short black dress did not speak Florence material. That’s when he began to judge, thinking she was just some naive young lady looking for some rough action at moonlight.

“You’re not from around here are ya darlin?” Tony started, waving his hand at the bartender who started filling two glasses. “You know who we are right?” he added, the glasses already by his side. He reached over and placed one of them right before her, a smile also plastered on his face.

Eva laughed lightly at the man’s words, shaking her head and sitting on the stool next to him now while the bartender got her the whiskey. She rested her chin on her fist, elbow on the bar while watching him with a sparkle in her eyes.

”Born and raised actually, hon,” she said, glancing up and mouthing a ‘thank you’ to the person behind the counter. She drank the entire contents of her glass and put the back of her hand to her lips, eyes watering just slightly before she shook her head at his question.

”No, actually I don’t. But if you want to tell me about yourself I wouldn’t stop you,” she said, voice somehow not raised and yet clear. As if she were making it seem like he was the only person around them she could see.

Tony couldn’t help himself and leaned forward, getting even closer to her than they were. It was unusual for someone raised in Gastown to have never heard of the Angels, but Tony didn’t think much of it at the moment, his mind was locked on something else. After taking a sip of his drink, he let out a short laugh. “See…….were not the good guys” he whispered into her ear as his hand took her by the wrist.

He then quickly backed away and sat back up straight. The guy had a unique form of flirtation - one that usually got the girl to bed. “Anyhow, you gonna tell me your name or am I gonna have to guess? Wouldn’t want to label you sumthin’ you’re not, know what I’m sayin” he stated, getting up from the dumb stool and fixing his jeans. Another sip came after that as he turned his gaze towards Charles who was acting like an idiot and doing stupid thrusting gestures. Tony laughed then returned to the girl before him. “Let me show you around……….ummmm…….Ima go wiiiith…………..Jennifer, yeah, you look like a Jennifer” he added, extending his hand for her to take it.

Eva leaned in when the man did, biting her lip to stop her from smiling even wider when he said he wasn’t a good guy. ”Hmm, too bad. I’m a good girl,” she whispered, not caring if he heard or not. She looked up at the ceiling in a thoughtful way when he asked her name, debating whether or not to tell him. And if she spoke a name, whether or not it would be her real one or not. She slid off the stool she sat on when he looked away from her, scoffing and rolling her eyes when he called her Jennifer.

”Jennifer is my sister’s name,” Eva lied, looking at his hand, smirking, and then looking back up to his face. ”But I’ll tell you my name after you give me a ride on your bike, Biker boy,” she smirked again, moving a hand to his vest and running her fingers along the inside of where it opened. After she reached the bottom of it, she winked at him and went to walk out of the bar, knowing he’d follow if he really wanted to know more about her.

When she got outside, Eva saw her two friends still across the street. They waved and she waved back. ”I got a ride!” she called back to them, letting them know they didn’t have to wait on her. They looked confused but she could care less as she turned back around and waited for the man to come out of the door behind her.

When the good girl lied about her sister’s name - which was obvious - Tony couldn’t help but give her a bright smile. One thing wasn’t clear to him though, he had no idea if she was this way all the time, or if she was drunk - she did a great job of hiding it. But when her hands started to molest his leather, all that curiosity just faded away. He licked his lips as she got lower and lower with her hands, looking down at her.

She then started off, wanting a ride, one probably home, the other one at home - if you know what I mean. So being left with the desire for more, Tony instinctively followed the round booty, taking calm steps as his brothers whistled and clapped as their VP walked out the door. The men were always so playful, even though they’ve seen this kind of thing happen all the time.

Eva was pulled out of her memories by sitting at the bar casually, shaking her head when asked if she wanted something to drink. "Nah just waiting on Tony. Figured he'd be here, but I'll just wait til he shows," she smiled, changing her mind about the drink. She was also glad she hadn't seen Maria or Isabel yet thank God. She already knew they didn't care for her for whatever reason.

Camp Corona

Gwen smiled as one girl came up to the general area, but then she sat at an empty table. Gwen waited a bit longer, and her cabin mate Faye showed up and sat across from her. She’s smiled in a friendly fashion once more. ”Hey again cabin mate,” she said matter of factly, despite the girl getting on her phone as well. Boy everyone must have more friends than she did. Or perhaps internet on their phones. She had just something basic for texts and calls, not able to afford or need much more really. Though right now it was almost seeming worth it instead of sitting there surrounded by others pressing buttons. She cleared her throat and messed with her braid. Luckily, another girl walked up who looked even taller than Gwen herself and with black hair. She said hey and introduced herself causing Gwen to happily wave at her, smiling again.

”Gwen! Cabin 3,” she said, folding two of the fingers down in her wave so she was holding up 3 fingers. She put her hands back in her lap and looked up at an attractive looking guy who asked to join them. ”Of course, silly,” Gwen said, patting the empty spot next to her. It would be nice to be sitting by someone friendly enough to say hello.

Another boy walked up, this one with darker hair and blue eyes. Hey, all. Room for one more? Gwen smirked, seeing an opportunity. ”Nope, as you can see we’re all full,” she said, a playful grin on her face as she waved her hands to show the tables which still had plenty of room. Gwen began counting how many were there, and wondered if more would show up, or not. She had no idea exactly how many campers there were.

Fables: After The Ever Afters

”Of course, B,” Elle grinned up at the owner of the club when he asked her about her shots. She always got great shots. It was just hard to narrow them down more than anything. She glanced over with raised eyebrow after Boogie mentioned Bambi, seeing indeed the skittish young thing was sitting at the bar. It was quite a sight. But Elle really hadn’t clicked with the girl before. She was very nice seeming to be sure, but Elle preferred fun and interaction. Not something Bambi was known for. She just took another sip of her drink when she felt arms wrap tightly around her. She sputtered a bit on her drink, smiling and laughing as Petey spun her around. ”Alright babe, you got it,” she smirked to her friend. She’d already fulfilled her time she was to take pictures, so she turned back and carefully set her camera behind the bar where no one would get to it, before hopping off her stool and grabbing Pinocchio’s hand. ”Well, let’s dance!” she said brightly, heading with him towards the dance floor.

Nature's Outlaws

Seamus frowned just slightly when one of the girls fell back off the wall. He could only assume she was just that shy, not noticing the bat that flew away after she did so. He hesitated, wondering if he should just keep walking, as it seemed to him that he’d disturbed them, when the other girl said hello. He gave a satisfied nod, glad he had not been completely ignored. Perhaps it was just the other girl’s nature and not him and his hello that had unnerved her. He would have to believe that in order to keep interacting with people.

The girl who stayed hopped down, and Seamus was better able to take in her appearance. Short, bright red hair, very blue eyes and tanned skin. Definitely shorter than him, maybe older? Maybe the same age? He couldn’t tell. She didn’t look younger than him though he was pretty sure. Her outfit looked fairly casual, not unlike his own, and it made him more comfortable. He was used to seeing coats and suits and scrubs. Jeans and tshirts were nice.

Are you…? the girl spoke, making Seamus raise an eyebrow. ”Am I what?” he asked, his tone simply confused as the girl came closer. He took a step back, something in him skittish a bit. Were people outside the lab this forward? With the other girl disappearing over the wall, he’d begun to believe already they were shyer. But the red head’s hands now gripped his jacket and moved to pull it back. He again hesitated, but slowly let her, looking at her while biting his bottom lip. Had he just made a huge mistake? What if his wings scared her? A few black feathers fell as he just took off his jacket, looking back towards his wings. ”Umm… I didn’t know if it was safe…” he said, hoping to explain why he wore the jacket in the first place, his voice even and on the soft side.

Camp Corona

Gwen was just finishing sliding her empty suitcase under the bed she’d chosen when she looked up and saw a tiny little girl with blue hair unpacking on the bed against the wall.

”Oh, hi! Sorry I didn’t even hear you come in!” Gwen said with a little laugh. She tucked a few stray blonde hair behind an ear and came closer to the girl, just far enough to extend a hand. ”My name is Gwen. I love your hair by the way,” she said in a sincere voice that some may have thought was too friendly, but she had a hard time toning herself down when meeting new people sometimes. She held out her hand to shake the other girl’s hand and realized just how much she towered over the blue haired girl. It was comical in a way.

As Gwen stood there, she heard her phone go off on the dresser she’d chosen. Frowning, she looked between the girl and the phone.

”Um, just a second…” she said, unsure who would be texting her anyway. She walked over and picked it up, reading a text about orientation at the activity center. ”Oh… um, looks like we all need to go to the activity center,” she said with a shrug, lowering her hand with the phone and looking back to her cabin mate. ”I guess I’ll see you there if you wanna go or later if you keep unpacking. Good choice on bed by the way! You won’t fall off the side against the wall at least,” she said with a friendly laugh before turning and walking with a skip in her step out of the cabin and towards the activity center.

When she walked up, Gwen saw another girl sitting there. She seemed to be preoccupied with her phone, so Gwen just found a seat cattycornered from her at the table and sat with her hands in her lap, looking around.

Lumos

I don't mind skipping to Hogwarts whenever.
