The Moon and Sun â Rose + Doc | Event 10
The smell of alcohol was ⊠curiously inviting. Running his hand through a puddle, he licked a finger, then made a bit of a face. Evidently, turning into a demon hadnât made him any more fond of alcohol than before.
The thought of demons made him think of Rose, and angels, prompting him surge to his feet⊠only to slip. He would have tumbled right back down if Meg hadnât reached out to grab him at that point.
âRose,â he growled, shaking glass off and making a face at all the wet patches. At least there wasnât too much blood, just minor nicks that would heal quickly enough. The bruises were another matter, and he was feeling decidedly unsteady on his feet - not badly injured, but not in any shape to go rushing straight out after Rose. Which he suspected was exactly her intention.
âSheâs changed,â he said, narrowing his eyes and staring out of the bar towards where she had been. âSheâsâŠâ making a frustrated gesture, he tried to calm himself a little and turned back to Meg. âI tried to talk to her, and she tried to ââ he took a deep breath, fighting his instincts, and tried again, âWe ended up trying to fight.â
Peering out of the window to see whether Rose was still in sight, he shook his head when he saw nothing, and went to pour himself a glass of water. âHow is she so powerful? How do I defeat her?â
âOh of course it would be Rose,â Meg muttered almost annoyed that it was the obvious and not the other obvious one. She couldnât do anything to Rose, but at least she could slap Jack around a bit.
âShe really isnât the only one that has changed around here, Doc.â Meg countered, eyeing her friend for a moment and judging whether or not he was going to react negatively to her comment.
Giving a small nod, Meg moved around him and began to pluck at what was left of the alcoholic bottles before reaching for an unopened and unbroken whiskey. Pulling it open and taking a swig, the demon gave a shrug. âThatâs what happens when baby supes get together and are natural enemies. Sparks fly and not the romantic type.â
Raising her brow at him, Meg set her bottle down and crossed her arms on her torso. âWell... you donât actually want to defeat her do you? You just want to be able to rationally talk to her? Or has that all gone out the window like you went through the door?â
She knew soon enough that John was going to snap at her, but she didnât care as now she had a sort of hold over him. âAngels are naturally more powerful than demons though, thatâs just the way things were made. It sucks and itâs stupid, but yeah.â
Frowning, Meg reached for her bottle again. âIs there... anything I can do?â
