If someone were to tell him he was going to meet a teenage girl, one that looked too much like Kizzy, in a bar and want to get to know her, he would tell them they’re insane. Lay off the drink, keep your prophecies to yourself, et cetera. His questions keep swirling in his mind as he nods to catch up with her, “I am, your moves have a flair that reminds me of someone I know.”

Noah glances at the girl as they walk, noting similarities between her and Kizzy. Maybe it’s been too long since he’s seen Kizzy and everyone is starting to look the same. He figures it’s still worth getting to know the girl, so he smiles, “Yeah? Well it’s on me.”

Someone I know. She’s tempted to ask who, but she knows showing interest might give her away. Instead she ignores that comment, chuckling when he offers to buy. If only he knew how much money she had in her bra. He might’ve gotten himself killed, but he did leave quite the inheritance for them to live off of. “That’s sweet of you,” she says dryly, sounding all too much like her mother without meaning to.

When they reach the deli, she crosses her arms and waits for him to open the door. “Well? I thought you were a gentleman.” She gestures at it with her chin, a playful glint in her eyes letting him know she wasn’t the least bit serious. It’s startling, seeing her dad like this. Last time they were this close, she could barely reach past his knees. Her Papa, with his arms like tree trunks and a kiss that left her face with beard burn. He was everything, and standing in front of him now she still felt so small.

Even though he knows he should be afraid of her, he’s not. He is more afraid of an episode happening during a potential fight. She’s on his back before he has a chance to dodge, trapping his body while his mind starts to turn black. Jack falls to his knees still constricted by her legs and tries hard to breathe as his Gran instructs him to take life one step at a time.

The strangest thing happens when she forces him to stare at her and suddenly he’s able to calm down again. Jack hopes to God she didn’t catch any of that, but witches have tried to use his emotions against him before. Despite the whirlwind dying down in his mind, he’s still breathing heavily now and he takes entirely too long to answer her question.

“Jack.” he manages to mutter before a dumb smile takes over his face. Why on earth is he trying to be nice while she’s holding him hostage he’s not sure. “What’s your name?” he thinks to himself that he definitely should NOT call her abomination number one.

Something happens to him, and she can’t quite understand it. But it’s like he needs a moment, and for some reason she gives him it. She balances herself as he falls, staring at him oddly. Jack. How quaint. 

“Jack,” she repeats after him instead of giving him her name. Sliding off of him slowly, she backs up. Even with giving him his space, her muscles are ready to spring back to action. Giving him a look over, she decides her earlier opinion was correct. He is cute. 

She couldn’t trust cute.

“Now Jack...” she says with a slight grin, walking around him in a wide circle. “Why would you be hunting little ol me? Do I look like a threat to you, mate?” Her appearance was deceiving. Slight in figure and stature, with the biggest blue eyes in the Hopkins family. She looked like an innocent school girl, but she could burn this whole city to the ground.

Vinny laughs when they fall and accidentally pulls cloth down from her shoulder. He immediately throws his hands up and let’s her get off him without help. This had to be the greatest day of his life. Not only did he finally get off the ground for more than two seconds, the girl of his dreams literally fell right into his lap. “Am I coming with you?” he questions before he gets up and dusts himself off to follow her.

“So ah… I take it you’re like me?” he smiles as he walks behind her, “Those people wouldn’t have sad anything ya know, I’ve lived her awhile now and they just think it’s magic tricks right. Not like… real magic.” Vinny’s grin is stretching ear to ear, hoping she’s gonna find him charming or at least not ditch him when they get clear.

The sooner Tsura loses this kid, the better. Her mom would kill her if she knew she’d even intervened in the first place. Taking a deep breath, she nods to confirm his suspicions. She doesn’t say a word though, heading for an alleyway between two bakeries. The smell of sweet bread fills her nose as she hops a fence in her way. She figures he’ll follow since he’s got a penchant for being airborne.

Dropping onto her feet on the other side with a grunt, she fixes her backpack on her shoulder and peeks at her list again. The only things left to pick up were from Clara’s old cottage, which basically functioned as a greenhouse at this point. 

“Just... stay out of trouble,” she mumbles, turning away from him and hoping he gets the hint to stop following now.

As Kizzy walks away, Noah swings to slap her butt and chuckles when he barely misses. How could he deny his love for that booty.

Turning his attention back to Tsura, he pulls her in closer to snuggle her and rub his cheek against hers. His little girl is everything to him and she’s also the spitting image of her mother, old and new face. “What else have you been up to today, my bubbly girl?”

Tsura smiles big at her Daddy’s cuddles. She wiggles until her arms are under his coat, hugging him around the waist. Or as far as her little arms can get around anyway. “Tia Clarita was here today,” she says as she looks up at him, eyes big with excitement.

“She brought me so many flowers from her yar-den.” Learning Spanish and English simultaneously has her mispronouncing words often. She wiggles down off her dad’s lap, down his legs like a slide then takes off running back into the kitchen. When she emerges, she has an armful of potted plants. The clay clinks while she walks.

     Who cared about her or the other people scurrying around, “Look lady, I’m just practicing my levitation trick, right? You’re welcome for the free show.” He took off his hat and bowed to her before walking away to find a somewhat secluded area, except what he found was a group of people crowded around a vendor. No one was looking, so he shrugged and tried again until he heard a stern, almost whispering voice.

     Vinny dropped to the ground and looked around until he spotted the girl who spoke; he could tell because she was searching around anxiously. Probably for him or spotters, who knew. His eyebrows raised in wonder, not only because she was super hot but also because he’d never felt connected so instantly to anyone before. He stepped into her line of sight and put his hand over his chest, “Definitely not milady, but…” he took a staggering step closer, “ I think…” a look of concern and pain washed over his face, “you just stopped my heart.”

     He twisted his body dramatically to fall in her direction hoping she’d catch him, if she didn’t he could just levitate in a laying position with his hand holding up his head.

Tsura can’t believe his audacity. If she ever behaved even a modicum like this in public, her mother would kick her ass so fast. Huffing, she grabs onto his arm and yanks him. Hard. “Get down here.”

It was glaringly obvious her mother was no longer Watcher around these parts, or else this wouldn’t fly. But Kizzy was head of the Witches Council now, so if this kid got into any trouble then she’d definitely be hearing about it. And whoever was Watcher would be fired. Tsura sets her bags down and opts for grabbing him with both hands and forcing her weight onto him when he doesn’t come down.

They both go toppling to the ground, with her splayed on top of him. Scrambling, she sits back on her bottom and meets the eyes of curious bystanders. The look she gives them has them looking away. “Get up, come on before someone important sees.” Kneeling, she grabs all of her bags.

[ If he said he wasn’t curious, he’d be lying. Where is the world did she even come from and who taught her how to fight? He wanted to know, but he didn’t want to just blatantly follow her. ]

   “You know, you’re the first person to beat me to a bounty I was after. I have to say, I’m impressed.”

[ Somehow he wanted to get her to walk with him rather than in front of him, maybe compliments would butter her up. If not, the curiosity about this feeling was going to drive him insane. ]

The little girl in her chest is jumping for joy. Her father was just feet from her, behind her, like she always wanted him to be. The woman standing before him though, she had to maintain her calm. To pretend like the last thing she wants to do is hold onto him until the world falls away around them.

Staring at her feet for a moment, she lets him hang onto the silence. “Are you?” she asks in a level voice, as if that isn’t the only compliment that ever mattered to her. “That’s cute.” Smirk back in place, she looks over her shoulder at him and gestures with her chin. “Come on, I’m starving. There’s a deli on the corner.”

elitehuntsman:

[ An eyebrow raises at the question not directed toward him. Before he can say anything his face is being covered with kisses. ]

     “Me rindo! I surrender!”

[ He laughs and puts his other arm around Kizzy so he can hold both of his girls. He pecks Kizzy and turns his attention back to Tsura. ]

   “Sweetheart, isn’t your mum so pretty?”

“Flatterer,” Kizzy mutters to Tsura across her father and the little girl is in stitches. Laughing herself, she stands up to leave them to it.

Tsura has fallen against her father’s shoulder, little breaths barely making her way past her giggles. “You’re silly, Daddy,” she finally gets out, wiping her eyes. “Mommy is beautiful.”

Don’t trust anything signed off by John Stearne. Jack always took an interest in anything with that man’s name on it just because of that reminder. Another reason was the fact that her name was only listed as “Abomination 1”. He’d been stalking her for awhile now, getting every detail about her that he could to determine whether or not she deserved to be on anyone’s list. Sure she seemed like a hotheaded, badass woman, but other than that she didn’t do anything he’d consider evil. Maybe she’d pissed Stearne off one too many times, either way Jack wanted to know more.

This was the first time he’d gotten close enough for her to notice and she was definitely staring. Maybe she knew he’d been following her for weeks; maybe she wanted to find out more about him too. Jack couldn’t be certain, but he’d have to approach her eventually. He needed to know why John offered such a reward for her, he wanted to believe she was innocent because she looked like an angel to him.

Jack quietly exited the bus after her. Luckily, they were the only two to leave at this stop. As he followed her down the block, he began to feel like he was walking straight into a trap. His breathing slowed until it stopped at the end of the alley. Jack’s feet wouldn’t carry him forward anymore. No… not now. He started counting in his head, ignoring the nagging sense to run, and began walking toward her again. Focus. His hands crossed behind him and he gripped his stun batons just in case he needed to pull them out.

[timelessmistake]

The dragon inside of Tsura was prickled, twisting in her belly. Making her nose twitch as she tried to identify what his scent meant. There was fear there for sure. A hunter afraid of his own prey? No, that couldn't be it.

She picks up the pace, the shadows of the alley swallowing her. Abruptly, she grabs a hold of a fire escape ladder and swings herself three feet up before falling back down to the ground. Straight onto his back, with her legs wrapped firmly around his arms to keep his hands where they are. Grabbing onto his chin, she yanks his head to the side so he can see her. "Hi," she says with a smile.

Then it strikes her, there's something so familiar about him. Too familiar. The confusion plays on her face, and she doesn't get a chance to mask it. "Who are you?" The smile is long gone.

[timelessmistake]

The bus is unusually empty tonight, Tsura muses, as it bumbles down the crooked road in the direction of Clara's swamp. There's only three other people on it with her. A woman with a baby in a flower patterned sling, trying her best not to drowse. A teenager with a mop of brown hair, counting the streetlights they pass as he turns his phone over and over in his hands. And him. His sandy hair looks grey in the dim light of the bus. Lashes that cast a shadow on his cheeks. Something oddly familiar to him, like he'd been missing. She stares at him unabashedly, knowing he's there for her.

The bus slows to a creaking stop and she averts her gaze to the street outside. This was her stop. He would follow. Taking a deep breath, she stands and makes her way off.

Tsura didn't know who sent him, but she's been a hunter long enough to know when she was being hunted. If she could avoid a fight... well she wouldn't. She doesn't quicken her step, instead she walks slowly as she turns into an alley in the complete opposite direction than where she should be headed.
