Amar merely shrugged at her words; it made little point to ponder this, he thought, given he had no idea what she was talking about and he probably never would.

The captain chuckled at her next words. “It’s not that long a ride, don’t worry,” he reassured her smoothly, though he was still smiling a few moments later. “But we can get you some food before riding up to the palace, if you’d like, I’d hate for you to starve,” he shrugged. “Which will happen if you ride out into the desert all alone; just saying,” he added smoothly.

“Oh goody,” she said. Her stomach involuntarily grumbled aloiud, as though answering the call for food, “would it be too much to say I wasn’t hungry?” She shook her head, “what kind of food do you guys even eat here? And sure I would. Be a real shame to die somewhere that wasn’t home, wouldn’t it?”

Alex chuckled. “Yeah, well, no need to wear the poor authorities out, is there?” he asked amusedly. “They’ve already saved our asses once tonight,” he shrugged as he offered his arm to the girl at her next words. “Come on, then, it’s not too far and the boathouse was recently torn down an’ renovated. It’s concrete now,” he grinned. 

"Wearing out the authorities, is my middle name though,” she teased, “I mean you try living off cafe wages. “ Nori took his arm, allowing him to lead her to the boathouse, “concrete will be good,” she said, “be worse if it was wood or something, though I’d like to see that.”

Coffee break-Chris/Nori [closed rp]

[firebirdwaitress]

Chris chortled at the question. “I think I like her, yeah,” he nodded to Lir who rolled her eyes very dramatically by way of response. He grinned back to Nori. “I am, of course, since I’m asking you out,” he informed her, very clearly amused. “Best place in town…just as soon as I know what that is,” he sighed theatrically.

The time agent raised an eyebrow, focused on work once more. She had Nori’s file, even things that didn’t exist on any file and yet, this particular skill hadn’t…come up.”Hm. Perhaps,” she replied with a shrug. If Nori was good enough not to be on any database, they were good, she figured. “Shiny blue stones are worth roughly the finances of half the planet,” she explained a moment later. “And no, it’s not going to be easy. They’re safely stowed away in a place that doesn’t exist. Or rather, a place no one but a few people know exists. Let’s get out of here,” she turned the display off quickly. “Best not be discussing this out in the open.” “Where are we going?” Chris asked coolly. “I keep a hotel room in the city. Well, a hotel suite really,” Lir shrugged, already walking briskly out of the alley to join the small crowd of people going about their business along a wider street. “We’d best stay out of the open.We’re not the only…interested party,” she murmured.

Nori snorted, “oh we’ll see about the liking me part, later,” she said, “and goood. Though if you want the best place in town, don’t go to the round table cafe. “

She returned to focusing on Lir’s plan, “shiny things, okay. Not easy, even better. Can’t see anything going wrong with this plan at all.” She nodded, as the display was turned off, “right let’s go to your hotel room.” She could play along with this. She followed Lir out, into the alley, where people were, “and okay. So there are people who want you? This is just like space,” she muttered. She didn’t want to draw too much attention to herself though, “lead the way.”

[firebirdwaitress]

The thief couldn’t help a grin at her tone. “Hm.. is there nothing I can do to make amends, then?” he asked, rather dramatically, though he took a closer look at her at her next words. “Yeah…I can see the sense in that,” he had to admit. No one would look at Nori and assume she was a spy, for crying out loud, nevermind the fact she had taken him out earlier, pretty much.

He hummed thoughtfully as he listened to her. “So, basically, someone died and I’m supposed to replace him?” he asked. “And do I get a say in it?” he went on, rolling his eyes. “No offense, but being picked for you sounds…” He removed his hands from his pockets to wave them around dramatically for a moment. “I don’t know how it sounds but I don’t like it,” he said with a huff, as she used a console to open another door for them. Alex caught a glimpse of an army-style room, devoid of any decorations, a double row of cots taking up most of the space. “What?” he asked, returning his attention to the girl at her words. “You pick people by making them fight for their beds…?” He didn’t sound too surprised, really, admittedly.

“Doubtful, “ Nori said, smirking, “though there is always a way to a lady’s heart, dah-ling.” She had to bite on the inside of her lip to keep from laughing, “and geez. I’m more of a thief, than a spy. “

“That’s what I said, “ she answered, “someone died so you replace them....maybe. If you can beat the other candidates. And no, you don’t. Boss’ orders and everything.” She rolled her eyes, “trust me, if I had my say I wouldn’t be in this bloody place, showing you in. And no, ya don’t have to fight for a bed. Go in and pick a bed. Merlin will be in to give you your briefing. Joy. “ She didn’t want to tell him, it was worse than fighting over a bed, “so if you’re all good, I’ll go now. “

Alex pulled her away from the car she was clearly checking over gently. “No need to steal a car; that’ll surely bring the cops after us an’ I think we’ve both had enough trouble for one night,” he smiled smoothly. “It’s a few blocks away anyway an’ it’s pretty secluded; plus there’s an old boat house that we can use, if we don’ want anyone to spot us,” he shrugged. 

Nori groaned, as he pulled her away from the awesome car, “oh come on, don’t be such a bore,” she said, “right. Though I seem to remember, you saved me from more trouble with the police.” She thought about it then agreed, “alright, then, so long as the boat house don’t catch fire.” Nori pulled the bottle of wine out of her bag, already tempted, “let’s go then. Lead the way.”

[firebirdwaitress]

“We’re not going to get very far, with that pack of zombies,” Nori said, “we should get out of here.”

Alex chuckled at her tone and words despite himself and the fact he still had no idea what he’d got himself into .”Actually, no, I don’t talk to girls like that at all; I rather like and respect them too much,” he shrugged smoothly, the serious tone turning into a miscihevous grin. “But it seemed to piss you off, so you know…fun,” he admitted smugly. “And Darling is a very good code name, I think; who’d ever consider you a threat if they heard it?”

The thief shoved his hands in his pockets as she went on, following her closely as she traipsed through the narrow hall with all the air of someone who belonged wherever they were going. “Spy organization?” he repeated, fairly sure he must’ve misheard something, but no, she went on without breaking her step. “Recruits?” He scoffed now. “You’re telling me you were sent out to what, recruit me for some sort of secret spy society?”

“Oh so it’s just me you call dah--liiiing,” she said, “good to know.” She rolled her eyes, “and here was me thinking we could get along, but I think ya just voided all that darling,” she said, using his own word back at him, “people don’t think I’m a threat anyway. What being only 5 foot and scrawny. Good to be underestimated.”

She turned and stared at him, “aye, spy organization,” she said, “we recruit people. Well only when one of them old farts gets snuffed out. You’d think they’d learn by now. Trust me --I am not happy at all about this, you aren’t even my choice of recruit but noo, because I’m new, they picked you for me. I’d rather die. “ She shook her head, heading towards the console, letting herself into the room. Through the glass panel, she could see the army-style barracks the recruits slept in, “that’s your bed, somewhere in there. Have fun fighting over it.“

The captain arched an eyebrow at the new, unfamiliar words. “Yes, not sure what those are, but I’m fairly sure they don’t…exist here. Probably,” he rolled his eyes. “The desert goes on for thousands of miles. If you don’t burn, you’d get lost and die of hunger and thirst,” he sighed at her next words. “And you’ll be riding with me, I think. Just in case you get any…ideas. I’m used to the desert, but that doesn’t mean I much fancy chasing after you in it.”

‘Oh I pity you,” Nori said, “that is the best transport in the whole world, man.” She frowned, “right I don’t burn but I can starve. Not sure how  long.  Though my fire can always be used to cook things, so there is that. And aww great, does the big strong man not think I can ride by meself? True enough --probably would ride to god knows where.  I hate this place already.”

Mutant Trouble

[firebirdwaitress]

“Oh that depends entirely on the person,” Lir grinned back, largely undaunted.

It would appear that her incursion had either triggered some alarm or she had missed someone coming in, Lir thought, as the small squad of well-armed men came in, holding to a formation- a sure sign they knew what they were doing and were marginally more organised than their peers, not that it would matter much here. A couple of men in white coats came in behind them, keeping safely behind the cover of their armored peers.

Lir didn’t even flinch as the fire surrounded the lot of them. she merely isolated one of them, charging the man and pinning him against the nearest wall. “We can do this the nice way- that would be me giving you a nice, easy, fast death-or the hard way,” she said coolly, falling silent for a moment, the sound of screaming and the pungent smell of burning things dominating the scene. “That would be my friend. Where are the mutants being held?”

Nori used her powers, summoning the two fireballs to her fingertips and hurled them at them . She could feel the power growing with her anger, until three of them collapsed to the ground. “Guess your suits aren’t as firepoor as ya thought,” she said.

She wasn’t letting a single one of these idiots go. Nori was tired of being their experiment --their project. She wanted them to pay. They screamed again, and with a huge blast, she blew them up in a fit of rage. Nori stormed back to where Lir was holding the man against the wall.

“I’d take the quick death if I were you,” she said, “tell us where the mutants are and we might let you live.” Oh no she wouldn’t. She growled, under her breath.

“We we we don’t know, “ he said, “we’re just workers not in charge not in charge. “

“Just workers huh? Kind of funny how that works. Cause you workers seemed to have no problem kidnapping us, or drowning us. Or whatever you’re doing to my friends.”

Coffee break-Chris/Nori [closed rp]

[firebirdwaitress]

Lir shrugged with a smirk, even as her older brother rolled his eyes dramatically at his sister. “If I waited for the perfect time, I’d never get anything done,” she said airily. “And really, I merely suggested the two of you grab a coffee together, no need to be so negative. Or so dramatic,” the last words were addressed to Chris mostly. “You do realize you’re very bad at this, right?”The latter asked with an amused sigh. “Besides, I’m fairly sure I can get my own dates,” he went on, turning to Nori. “So.How about some dinner when we’re done here?” he asked her with a smirk.

Lir raised an eyebrow at Nori’s excited reaction. “I didn’t know you had some skill with this. Good,” she beamed at her with a nod, before activating the 3D display on her vortex manipulator. A display of dark blue stones,set into an antique-looking tiara that seemed to catch the light as it rotated slowly lit up the narrow street.”We’re going after these,” the time agent stated. Chris walked closer for a better look. “This doesn’t look easy,” he commented. “It’s not.” Lir shrugged.

“Right, he can get his own dates, and so can I,” she said. She stared at him, a brow raised, as he mentioned some dinner, “right ,” she said, curiously, “who’s paying?”

She laughed, “skill,” she said, “you don’t know that much about me, Lir, if you don’t know about my side-business adventures.” She smirked, as she watched Lir activate the strange device, “get the shiny blue stones...why do I get the feeling this is more complicated than it looks? oh more fun, more danger. Goody. Who we stealing them off anyhow?”

The captain snorted. “Yes, well…either that or they’d worship you as a goddess. It’s a mixed bag there,” he shrugged, mostly amused. “Don’t worry, as I said, you’re perfectly safe with me around.”

He couldn’t but give her a rather impressed look at her puzzled reaction to his words. “You said you didn’t…well…I suppose people ride horses as transportation as well, where you come from?” he shrugged,recovering himself. Why wouldn’t she know how to ride, after all. “And feel free to run away. If you got to the desert, I wouldn’t bother coming after you,” he smirked at her next words. “You’d never make it out of the place, anyway.” He wasn’t joking, despite the light tone.

“People ride horses, sure, not often where I’m from, but there are other types of transport like cars and motorbikes. Shame we don’t have one of those lying around,” she answered. She looked at the desert, “and why wouldn’t I make it out of this place?” she asked, “oh the desert? I can’t get burned that easy. Not that I like the desert. Where are these horses we’re taking anyway?”

Mutant Trouble

[firebirdwaitress]

Lir shrugged. “Might just be a coincidence,” she mused. “were you under any sort of stress lately?I figure your powers might well be connected to your emotional state, so if you’re stressed…they could well act out?” A small flame burst on Nori’s fingertip as the time agent spoke; it would seem she was recovering-slower than Lir had expected, though she didn’t say this.

“I’d say they’d possess a very good sense of taste and adventure,actually,” Lir grinned back to Nori’s words. “They’d be damn lucky too. To find you,” she winked.

She still ignored the soldiers, who seemed significantly wary of the two of them-and with damn good reason, as far as the time agent was concerned. A spray of some gas flew towards them, Lir lowering her helmet visor once more hurriedly. “That thing I gave you? Nothing they throw at you is going to work on you,” she informed Nori smoothly.”Whatever means of subduing mutants they’ve got is useless against you now,” she explained as Nori called forth a fireball; yup, anger definitely worked as a means to enhance her powers, the blonde noted. “Keep one of them alive; I have some…questions,”Nori couldn’t see the smirk on her lips behind the helmet now, but she should be able to hear her tone well enough; it was a dangerous one.

“Good taste,” Nori said, “probably got the worst taste in their life. “

As the soldiers entered, the girl glowered at them. Now the fire was back in her, she could feel it returning to its rightful place, “good,” she said, “they deserve nothing less.” The girl smirked, “good to know,” she said, “you take that one then,” she said, “I’m going to make work of this stupid squad.” More soldiers appeared in the hallway screaming and shouting, “and then we both take this lot on --between the two of us I’m guessing it’ll take two minutes.” She stood where she was, as the soldier approached.

“They want you back, bird girl,” he said.

“Too fucking bad,” Nori said. She shot out a hand, sending a wave of fire down the hallway where it exploded all around the scientists. She tried to ignore the smell of burning flesh and uniform, then turned to the armoured guards, “Lir, think that one’s more your style,” she said, “and then we’re getting my friends.”

She waited until he’d caught up with her to answer his questions, “I can’t be missing out on too much by not staring at a t.v screen for hours,” she said, “blaghhh. I’d rather be outside, doing something interesting.”

“Of course,” she said, “I usually go somewhere isolated, or somewhere where nobody’s going to ring in the cops or worse, the fire brigade. Been there done that. And this time I won’t wake up in a cave….least I hope not, though I kind of like that cave. “ She grinned, “want to take a car or steal someone else’s?” Once she got outside she breathed in the air –this was much better than being stuck in there.

Alex shrugged at her remark, shoving his hands in his pockets. “I rather like the peace an’ quiet an’ gettlin’ lost in an imaginary world now an’ then,” he admitted calmly.

He nodded a moment later, though he did raise a semi-puzzled eyebrow at her words. “Right. I know a place, a small park not too far from here, there’s an open space among trees. Most people don’ even know it’s there an’ there’re no caves, either,” he grinned.

[firebirdwaitress]

“Got to be further out than a park,” she said, “unless it’s a totally deserted or isolated park that nobody goes to, or we’re going to have some serious problems. Like...them on my back,or cops,” she said, “god I just want to enjoy this baby.” She pulled the alcohol to her lips, smelling the bottle, “car’s better,” she said, going over to a car and peering in the window.

[firebirdwaitress]

“My brother is a professional assassin, one of the very best in our home timeline-and several others, I’d wager. And he has a thing for cute and deadly redheads,” Lir smirked, very unhelpfully. Chris rolled his eyes at her. “Well, you’re not wrong, but is this really the time?” he sighed at her rather exasperatedly. Lir grinned back. “It’s always the time and you always pick the wrong girls; might as well let me try for you,” she stated, grinning back to Nori. “Perhaps when this is over I should leave you two alone,” she offered,winking at her friend.

“She has a mild concussion, actually,” the time agent sighed to Nori’s next words. “Christopher hit her a bit too hard, but thankfully…you won’t remember this in a few minutes,” she squeezed Nori’s hand reassuringly, as Chris took her other hand with an eyeroll.

The world dissolved into a golden haze and a few moments later, they were in another quiet alleyway, Lir letting go of of them both. “So, for past Nori, the past few minutes never happened; and I need you both to help me commit…burglary,” she smiled coolly.

“Not murder?” Chris asked smugly back. “Nope. We’re stealing some very precious stones that were stolen and never retrieved,” Lir shrugged back.

Nori stared at Lir, raising one brow, “deadly is right,” she said with a smirk, “but I have to agree with your brother. Is this really the time to be setting me us up?” She stared at Chris, as Nori said, “what leave us alone? Are you insane?” She started to laugh, “I don’t even know him very well. Or at all.”

Once she had gone through the haze, Nori groaned, looking around. Nope. Nothing seemed different. Everything appeared just how it had been before.

“Burglary?” she asked. The red head’s eyes lit up, “hey, you’re talking to a specialist here,” she said, “crime is definitely up my alley. Let’s go steal some stones then,” she said, “what kind of stones we talking?”

“That’s a rather cute name,”Alex grinned at her, though he hadn’t missed her tolling her eyes at the pet names he’d been using-on purpose, yes, because it was easy to tell, by her body language, that they bothered her.”Darling would make a pretty inconspicuous code name, though, you got to admit,” he jested at her next words. He was tempted to ask who ‘they’ were, but he had a feeling he’d get the answer to that regardless soon.

The hidden elevator  took them down, way below street level, if Alex was to guess, though he couldn’t really tell for sure. Nori seemed pretty excited, he noted, an exhilarated glint in her eyes when the thing finally stopped. A scanner ran over the both of them-high end tech.

“Right. I’m sure I’m delighted,” the thief grinned to her remark. “Might be more so if I knew what Kingsman was, though.”

“Cute, my arse,” Nori retorted. She smirked, “do ya always talk to girls like this or is this just some macho manly thing? Way of asserting your manly dominance? I’m curious to see if you survive this. ” She continued through then waited in the lift, “Darling is a terrible code name, unless you’re at a ball or a dance, man.”

Once she got off the elevator, she continued through the scanner, “Kingsman, is a high profile spy organization,” she said, “completely secret.” Right, with their bloody logo right on the lawn saying find me, “and completely difficult to get into which is why you’re here. I don’t know if the other recruits are here. My supervisor is going to kill me, once he sees that tape but who cares. Not like I want to be a part of this bullshit.”
