To celebrate International Women's Day, name a woman in one of my fandoms and I will attempt a drabble about her.
If you give me a keyword or lyric, I will use it if it sparks something for me.
Fandoms: Many and various, and I'll even throw in a crossover if you want :-P

"It's all your fault!" a clipped British voice opined. "If you'd kept your big mouth shut-"
"My fault," said a distinctively Californian twang, "I'm not the idiot who thought stealing a clutch of Golan eggs during a full moon spawning was a bright idea... do you have a death wish or something? If I hadn't come along-"
"If you hadn't come along, I'd be at home sipping a Martini right now!"
"Hah!"
Exasperated, Helen pinched the bridge of her nose; they'd been trapped in this cell a mere half hour and she could already feel a headache coming on. "Could you two please shut up," she pleaded, "I can't hear myself think."
"Oh, God forbid the great Helen Magnus should be put out!" Bela said sharply.
“Shh, I think I heard something,” Buffy said. “Something... clanging.”
“Clanging? Really? That's the best you can do?” Bela drawled. “You couldn't use those much vaunted Slayer powers for something more useful, like getting us the hell out of here?”
The iron cell door screeched and then flew off its hinges, flooding the room with light. Nikola Tesla grinned at them cheekily.
“Who the hell are you?” Buffy asked, hands on hips.
“I'm with her,” he said, pointing at Helen. “And not even remotely vampiric nowadays, so I'll thank you to stop looking at me that way.”
“Hmmm,” Buffy said, her eyes narrowing.
“I have a good idea,” Bela said, as she circled around Nikola, “Lets not do this again.”
A low rumble echoed from down the hall.
“Moon is out,” Nikola said brightly, handing Helen a stun weapon.
“Oooh, shiny,” Buffy said, looking at it covetously.
Helen rolled her eyes. “I'll give you the name of my broker.”
A scream bounced off the stone walls.
“That was Bela,” Buffy said, 'Wanna bet she went back for seconds?”
“I don't believe in giving away money,” Helen said sharply.
“Upwards and onwards,” Tesla said gleefully, bowing elaborately, “Lead the way.”
“Incorrigible,” Helen sighed.
“History, huh?” Buffy said, eyeing the both of them.
Helen smiled enigmatically. “Lets go and rescue your friend, shall we?”
“She's not my friend!” Buffy huffed. “She's...she's...oh, all right, she's my friend. Let's get this over with.”
And with that, they charged down the hall...
