fight of our lives

Danny McReid; 23; Hunter; Resistance

this town was suffocating. lux had always thought so even as a child, and being stuck here was her own personal hell some to fruition. she had been about to get out. she had been so close and then it was ripped away from her.

lux lay on a bench in havensdale park, passing the time away like she always did. there needed to be something to entertain her and she'll be damned before she would have anything to do with the magic box.

danny was very careful when he was above ground. he didn't need to be told twice, he understood the dangers posed up here to a mcreid better than anyone. his trips topside were often short and sweet, and he was focused on the task at hand. he'd finished doing a sweep of lua harvelle's perimeter when he cut back through the park and saw lux morrison. danny was no shrink, but it looked like she was in full existential crisis mode. he approached carefully, clearing his throat first before pulling on an easy grin.

"ah, c'mon, lux. it can't be all that bad, can it? you know you can always come down and visit me any time. something to look forward to," he teased.

"if anyone could do it through sheer willpower alone, it'd be you, henderson. you want me to get you a hammer or something?"

Faith remembered. That day had irrevocably changed her life in ways that she couldn't have imagined at the time. In certain ways it had lead them down this path, to end up here tending each other's respective physical and emotional wounds. As Danny shared his perspective of that day her breath quivered under the pressure of his words - she had hated him in that moment. There was not much point in denying it. She had despised the way he'd kept her in the dark about what was unfolding around them, actively happening to her. That feeling had long since waned, unlike her hatred for Piper that she had allowed to fester and grow.

As he continued, she fought to stifle the sobs that threatened to overcome her. The resulting stiffness in her throat made it hard to speak, but she nodded, pressing out her understanding of the weight of that day for him. "She was human. You couldn't have. I-" she swallowed, wondering for a moment how different everything would be if he had done it then. The toll it would have taken on him. "I'm glad you didn't."

She took a deep breath, letting her shoulders fall with its release. While the weight still hadn't lifted - unlikely that it ever would while Piper was still between them - she did feel it might be easier to carry with Danny holding her hands. "I was so stupid, Danny. Thinking that if I just trained enough, and wanted it enough, that I could end this. Now I'm just here. I'm exactly where I've always been." He wanted honesty and she could give him some, yet she was skirting his plea, not ready to admit that trading her life for freedom might be worth it. She shook the thought, sighing deeply to refresh herself, "it's fine. I'll be fine. Let's, um... let's get you patched up."

[dannymcreid]

You couldn't have. That was true. Danny had thought about that day more times than he cared to admit, going over every little thing he could have done differently. What if his hands had stopped shaking? What if the blood never washed off? Hearing Faith say she was glad he didn't, he felt a moment of peace wash over him. He closed his eyes, nodding so slightly. A breath fell from his lips and he was awarded some relief. Danny would have done anything for her - he would do anything for her - but he was glad she wouldn't want him to do that. That there was a line. "Thank you," he whispered.

He looked back to her as she took a deep breath and he hoped more than ever she felt some relief. Danny shook his head as she spoke, his heart aching for the pain in her voice and the tears in her eyes. It wasn't fair, none of this was fair. She deserved a life and to live it far away from here. "You're not stupid," he said softly. And she was still learning. Today, she couldn't do what she'd needed to do. Tomorrow, there was a chance to try again. He didn't love the idea of her being faced with Piper again, but he was willing to do whatever it takes. "You had something to work towards, I understand that. Sometimes that's what keeps you going. Everyone needs a purpose even if it isn't...," he trailed off. Not right? His own fantasies of revenge on William Rebelo weren't right either, but they kept him going. "This isn't it, okay? This isn't the end of the line, this isn't the last thing you could have tried. Tomorrow will be better, I promise."

Danny leaned against the desk behind him, having almost entirely forgotten about his own wounds. "Hey, you don't have to. I can finish this up if you want to go get some rest."

"sentenced to jail on the crime of being sweet. that's a life sentence if you ask me" she grinned and finished up whisking the mix like a maniac. "it's spilled all it's secrets and i've been sworn to secrecy, it's mixer and mix confidentiality." annabeth didn't need to hear the words from him but it was nice of him to offer. she smiled and nodded her head to answer his question, handing the mix back over. "ah yeah, that pesky blood thing will do it. it took me over a century to get it under control and then some before i could trust myself to have small amounts when i needed." she shrugged, it was something she still wrestled with from time to time "i'll check in with her and see how she's doing with it all. i promise"

[dannymcreid]

"no bail," he laughed as she continued to take her mixing very seriously. "i might not be happy about it but i respect the bond between mixer and mixee too much to complain. i get the feeling this is going to be the best batch yet, you know." he nodded as she spoke, half smiling at 'that pesky blood thing'. danny had no idea what it was like to be a vampire and hopefully, he never would. he would support his cousins any way he could, but he didn't want to live forever. he didn't want the burden that had been forced on them. "maybe ah, miss out it taking over a century when you talk to her? gotta try and keep things positive. thank you so much, though. i really appreciate it. i really appreciate you, annabeth."

Julian smiled at Danny. Their friendship had to be one of the best things to come out of all this craziness. If there was something he could count on, it was having a good time with Danny. "Thank you, man. No problem." He nodded his head as he looked at the boxes. "The answer to that is always yes. What do you want to eat?"

[dannymcreid]

"Any time," he grinned. Danny chuckled at his answer which he'd already known, forsure. He gestured for Julian to follow him to the kitchen - if they were lucky, no one would be making out or bleeding out in there today. "You know me, I'm down for whatever. I can make it, though. You need to rest those weary, strongman, arms. Could probably whip up a couple of tuna melts if you're down?"

[lulu-matthews]

Lulu: I think we all got the message, Danny. Lulu: Yeah, it's...Well, I'm sure there's a reason for it.

[dannymcreid]

Danny: Good vibes or bad vibes??? Danny: ........... perhaps, Romantic vibes???

[julian-cordoba]

Julian: NO! Why am I always behind? Julian: Charlie?! What do you think is happening?

[dannymcreid]

Carrie: That could have been for 1489 reasons... Carrie: You're right, though, Charlie's helped out a lot. Maybe Ana saw that and one thing led to another??? Carrie: she is GORGEOUS and ICONIC, tbh 😍😍😍

[radiant-ruby]

Ruby: He's helped out a lot? We're still talking about Charlie, right? Ruby: I know he turned himself over to us, but are we forgetting who he is? Ruby: Ana would NEVER omfg! Ruby: The rumours down here are getting too wild!

[dannymcreid]

Danny: and one of those 1489 reasons could be a spicy love affair ❤️‍🔥 Danny: charlie's a.............problematic fave, at this point Danny: I mean that's true 🤣🤣🤣 Danny: either way, I hope it's some good news

[ryyyan-mitchell]

Ryan: We're not supporting this, right? Ryan: If this is happening, he must be up to something 👀 Ryan: I know he's on Team Revenge, but again I ask...... can't we just kill him????

Finally. The last time they had sent any eye candy down to him had been when Jamie tried to kill his brother and that intimidating woman came down to help her–full disrespect to the guards. Percy was on his feet in an instant, controlling himself enough to not press himself up against the glass–he felt like he could smell his blood from here. "Danny." A smile slowly crept on to his lips as he looked him over. There was no doubt in his mind that this was Danny McReid. Edward had failed to disclose that all of them were so visually appetising.

"Too underqualified to grunt?" His eyebrows raised, almost suggestively, but that was all his guards seemed to be good for. Percy looked around his rather empty cell; at his request, they had brought him a book, a tennis ball, and a Rubik's cube, but he was becoming restless. "Can't complain, but I might start if they don't let you back down here again." Was he laying it on a bit thick? Maybe, but better to find out sooner rather than later if he should set his sights somewhere else. "Something I can do for you?"

[dannymcreid]

"Well... that I could do," he chuckled, a clear smile tugging at his lips at Percy's words. Figures that they'd find another Andrews brother, and the first thing he'd do was flirt with a McReid. Danny wasn't complaining, of course. Flattery didn't get you very far with the likes of Carmen, but Danny was cool with it. "I don't know if I'm as exciting as a Rubix Cube, but I'll see what I can do," he joked. Danny considered his question and opted to be upfront about it. He'd never been a good liar, anyway.

"I'm just here to get to know you," he answered with another smile. Percy had made a bold gesture, bringing Chris in. There was no denying the Andrews family resemblance, even while they checked out his backstory. And Jess was in his corner. They couldn't afford to burned, though. That much Danny couldn't deny. "How about I ask you something, and then you can ask me something - honest answers only. Deal?"
