kate drops in behind one of the perpetrators, just as they turn to look because of the girls words swinging her bat with force she connects with the first mans knee, spins and connects with the next guys stomach before finishing with a swift stab of the end of the bat into his temple, dropping him to the ground. kate gave the other woman a small smile, tipping her hat at her. “is that good enough? i could rough ‘em up a little more if you want. i’m here to please. you’re not hurt are you?”
Image

hera watches with wide eyes as the woman drops them one by one in quick succession.  well, holy shit.  with the threat taken care of, hera can actually relax for a second, and she shrugs when kate asks her the first question.  “ i mean, you could rough ‘em up a little more.  i wouldn’t complain about it. ”  she does a quick survey of her own injuries.  “ nah, just a couple bruises. ”

    mara considers hera for a moment. with furrowed brows and narrowed eyes, it’s clear she’s confused by such a sentiment. failure of any sort has never been permitted. i cannot say i agree. disappointment where i’m from is a death sentence, most often – as it should be. ” or so says the league.

    i failed a calculus class once, hera confides, smothering a smile to the best of her ability.  “ should i have been killed for the failure or like...should i have killed my calculus teacher for failing me ??

You’re making a mistake. ‘Cause I’m great! I’m young, I’m fine, I’m built and I can sing better than everyone on your label including fucking Misty Halloway!

💣     “tuesday, huh?” he couldn’t really complain, right? tuesday was tomorrow after all. blowing a puff of air to move some hair from his face, blue leaned forward and peered at the lines with her. “it looks to me like the lines are saying i’m gonna get some tonight.” ah, ther was that hidden fratboy charm.
Image
Image
   “ a face like that ??  i’m sure you get some whenever you want, ” hera says, rolling her eyes.  she closes his hand, puts pressure on his fingers to curl it into a fist.  “ just so long as you remember not to look here, pretty boy. ”

   “ well, i can’t really keep up with colin when he gets all hulked out and starts fighting aliens, “ he lies, his secret identity is secret after all. “ and i know you both aren’t on the same team anymore but could you keep an eye on him ?”
Image

   hera gets what he’s getting at, and she doesn’t blame him.  and of course, when they work together, she’ll keep an eye on him, but... you’ve seen him, right ??  dude’s a tank.  i’ve seen him take a bullet like it was a punch.

💣     for as much fussing, nose wrinkling, loud wailing and groaning that he did, blue offered her his hand without hesitation. “getting better at it, huh? i guess i’ll believe you.” he laughed, granting her access to both his hands. “if it’s about when a pizza will fall in my lap, lemme know.”
Image
Image
   now she’s distracted by the laughter that threatens to bubble up.  this is going to be a bad reading.  she takes his hands, peers at the lines for a few seconds.  tuesday.  you’re gonna get a pizza on tuesday.  she makes a note to drop a pizza in his lap on tuesday at some point.  because hera’s nothing if not committed to a bad joke.

   “ could we walk and talk for a minute? “ tony asks, shoving his hands into his pockets. “ i’m tony. “
Image

    sure, we can, hera agrees hesitantly.  “ you already know me, so i guess we can skip too much introduction.  what’s up ??

    mara eyes hera with furrowed brow as the instinctual desire to reach for her swords is quelled through sheer willpower. casual touches are not something she is accustomed to; being raised by ra’s meant being blanketed by violence. she’s uncomfortable. “ good company?? she repeats, lips pursed as she considers her words, far from boring. even the best of company is sure to disappoint your expectations eventually.
Image

   hera considers mara’s point for a few long seconds.  “ hm, yeah.  i guess that’s true.  but as long as it’s not a constant disappointment, right ??  like, i’m okay with the best of company disappointing me sometimes.  as long as they keep being the best most the time. ”

          ❝ heard it through the grapevine. ❞ he replies, giving her a sideways glance as he leans back. ❝ relax; i’m not getting on your case. i’m just asking. ❞  
Image

   there’s a surly pause where hera thinks about lying again.  but, honestly ??  what does she care ??   yeah, it happened.  i lost control in a fight.  could have brought down a building.  you know, i’m having one of those great superhero moments. she puts a hand to her heart and starts a dramatic monologue,  who do superheroes answer to if not the will of the people ??  i think that was the plot of the incredibles.

      seven.  i have coupons.   she grins, raises her hand & wiggles her fingers.   alright, gimme your palm, pretty lady.  before the creativity slips from me.
Image

   i didn’t even know taco bell had coupons.  that’s practically like letting people come in and steal, hera replies as she extends her hand to elia.

   magical energy depleted, hera has officially gotten in over her head.  hand to hand combat is far from her strong point.  and honestly, she still feels betrayed by the fact that punching things actually hurts her hands.  what’s the point of punching ??  this would-be mugging might turn into a real mugging since she’s exactly no use right now.  but it’s a city full of masks, so -- “ hey, miss !!  can i get a hand ??

    she clicks her tongue, arms crossed in front of her chest as she juts out her chin, not for pleasure, obviously. tolerating others is an unfortunate part of life. does she have any room to talk with the way she sees her own team?? likely not, but that’s why she’s so defensive.  one day, perhaps, you won’t need anyone but yourself.
Image

   “ well, wait.  that sounds a little boring.  she doesn’t think when she nudges mara with her elbow.   i don’t want to not need anyone.  just not too many people.  i like -- you know, good company or whatever. ”

   “ c’mon, c’mon, c’mon.  let me try to read your palm or something.  i’m getting better at it !!

@titanhera requested a starter !!

  “ hera, right? “ tony asked, trying to not look so creepy as he slinked out of the shadows. “ colin didn’t do you justice with his descriptions. “
Image

   “ i defy words, clearly, hera deadpans.  what’s up ??  she has an understanding for morally dubious brothers, but that doesn’t mean she trusts this guy.

@titanhera​ liked for a starter.

         ❝ so. ❞ john takes a seat next to hera, two coffees in one hand, one extending so the hot drink is held out to the younger witch. awkward silence, up until he finally asks, ❝ … so what’s this i hear about you taking a chunk of a building with you ?? ❞
Image

   hera takes the coffee and drinks, but she’s suspicious.  there’s an ulterior motive here, surely --- aaaand there it is.  “ i don’t know what liar told you that.

✦ |  ❝ Hey, hey, it’s alright, take a deep breath, clear your head, in … out … ❞ this is why he should never be trusted to give people any advice of the sort, but he’s attempting to help her calm down, rubbing the back of his neck as one hand raises up and down to maybe help the girl across. i’ve been in the magic field for a long time, and lemme tell you, i’ve never seen somebody teleport off with just one piece of a person. it’s alright; if it’s a control issue, there’re things you can do to help regain that sort of control, or things you can charm, can wear … 
Image

   “ a long time ??  no offense, my dude, but you look twelve.  i’m sorry.  i’m just stressed. ”  hera has to take a deep breath before she feels like herself again; a piece of good advice from her fellow witch.  they should start a coven, now that she thinks about it.  “ okay, yeah.  i’ll look into that stuff.  that’s cy. ”
