Exit Stage Right

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 11:00 am

One moment the grounds near the Lighthouse are empty, the next Aria steps around a crinkle in space and onto the grass.

"God damn untrustworthy windbags screwing everything up!" she curses under her breath.

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 11:10 am

Or almost empty.

"What? They didn't like the whole stealing from the past thing?" Nick asked accusingly after he finished being startled.

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 11:14 am

"Oh hey, I remember you. And I'm not talking about anybody here, doofus."

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 11:20 am

"Neither am I. I can put two and two together."

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 11:21 am

"Ooh, this is gonna be good. Let me hear what you've come up with. Is it five? I bet it's five."

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 11:25 am

"People back in your time don't trust you much either."

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 11:31 am

"Swing and a miss! Believe it or not, I'm one of the good guys. But I bet you don't know anything about stepping on some toes. You look like a perfectly fine upstanding citizen to me."

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:13 pm

"Point taken... but I'll still believe it when I see it."

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:25 pm

"Sorry you haven't seen me help any old ladies across the street. Whatcha gonna do about it?"

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:31 pm

"Wait for you to show your colors I guess."

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:24 pm

"That's not a very proactive approach."

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:27 pm

"Yeah. Pisses me off too, but I owe it to McManus and Weaver to give you a chance."

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:33 pm

"You know about that, huh? Not to brag or anything..." she totally brags.

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:42 pm

"Take more after Weaver I see," he smirked.

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 4:28 pm

"Everybody keeps thinking that." she shakes her head.

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 6:49 pm

"It's the ego."

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 7:24 pm

"I'll spot you that. So daughter of the Morrigan isn't enough credentials yet huh?"

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 7:29 pm

"I don't put much stock in genetic predisposition."

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 8:16 pm

"Oh ye of little faith. You don't think she'll do a good job raising me?"

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 8:18 pm

"Only have your word she did."

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 8:37 pm

"Dude, you know her. Draw your own conclusions."

by **Nick Varkan** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 8:52 pm

"I'll admit you do have a certain McManusey quality I can't place."

by **Aria Nyx** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 9:02 pm

"Phew, good thing we figured out that I'm not gonna blow up the school then."

by **Nick Varkan** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:00 am

"Terrorist no, thief yes. What did you need that component for anyway? It took our geek squad forever to fix that. "

by **Aria Nyx** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:04 am

"Bartering. And it's fixed now, isn't it? So really, what are you complaining about." she waves it off.

by **Nick Varkan** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:12 am

"Maybe I'm just pissed you got away."

by **Aria Nyx** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:16 am

"Ooh, wounded pride, I get it. You want a rematch?" she grins.

by **Nick Varkan** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:21 am

"I'm offering you one," he smirked, "I was totally winning before the kids got in the way."

by **Aria Nyx** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:28 am

"Is that so?" she grins and shrugs off her jacket to spread her wings that had somehow been tucked away.

by **Nick Varkan** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:33 am

"Right here huh?" he grinned.

by **Aria Nyx** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:35 am

"Think fast!" she says and she takes one step that suddenly places her right in front of Nick, along with her fist aimed at his jaw.

by **Nick Varkan** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:39 am

Nick leaned back as if supported by a tilting wall and kicked at her midsection.

by **Aria Nyx** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:46 am

She tries to twist out of the way but the kick still connects and sends her flying backwards until she manages to stabilize herself enough with her wings to land on her feet.

"Saw that coming, huh?" she says and runs at him again except her trajectory seems all weird, the angle of her approach seeming to change all the time, running at him from behind one second and approaching from the front the next.

by **Nick Varkan** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:58 am

Nick let his telekinesis take up the slack in his perception and struck out with a right hook when she appeared close. It was his best defense.

by **Aria Nyx** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 11:04 am

It doesn't hit her but it does hit something. Something that produces the faint sound of metal snapping and suddenly all the spatial distortions stop. Aria is still right next to Nick and pure momentum is still carrying her punch towards Nick's face but there's a look of utter surprise on her face and her eyes are following the wrist-computer that got TK'ed off her arm and was send flying.

Oh fuck...

by **Nick Varkan** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 11:14 am

"The fu..." Nick began before the punch staggered him briefly. He retaliated with a quick jab.

by **Aria Nyx** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 11:17 am

Aria is too distracted to do anything about it and just straight up takes the punch, which sends her to the ground sprawling. Completely ignoring Nick she scrambles up and frantically looks around to find her computer.

by **Nick Varkan** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 11:30 am

"We're... not fighting anymore are we?"

by **Aria Nyx** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 11:35 am

"Where is it? Where is it? It's gotta be here somewhere!" she says, crawling through the grass, searching.

by **Nick Varkan** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 2:00 pm

"Where's what?"
