@inchaosthereiscalculation asked: REPUTATION]: the sender Wanda, beingsomewhatinfamous in the area, arrives when the receiver Billy is being hassled, causing the assailants to flee rather than risk the consequences of crossing them.
No one could ever say that Billy wasn't an easy target. He was a make up wearing gay Jewish kid - and he was proud of it. He was used to being a bit hassled, maybe shoved around a bit, and honestly, it wasn't a big deal. He was going to roll with it like he usually did, shrug it off once they got bored -
he just wasn't expecting them to drop and run on a dime. He turned, trying to figure out who was behind him that made them short-circuit. Billy had been expecting Eddie, honestly, not - "aren't you dead?"
