Second Flight, Open Commentlog

[In the village, a gangly young man rushes past you, holding a torch. He apologizes profusely. He realizes he just narrowly missed hitting you, and that if he had, he probably would've set you on fire. He's very sorry about that, no, really.

Hot on his heels is a rabbit.]

Hey!

[Terry jumps out of the way, grabbing the edge of a nearby wall and clinging to it. Narrowing his eyes at the rabbit, he jumps back down off the wall and grabs it by the ears, lengthening the claws in his other--

Right. No claws. Crap.

Alright, plan B.

Terry pulls back, then hurls the rabbit as far as he can throw it.]

[Commentlog] talkingfishbone January 22 2011, 21:13:33 UTC

Sorry! Sorry, sorry, I--

[Hiccup spins so fast it leaves him hopping on one foot and almost careening off balance. The sight of The Batman is enough to send him over on his ass.]

Ahhh, oh...whoa.

[Commentlog] gotthesuit January 22 2011, 21:16:02 UTC

[It's okay, he's used to that reaction.

Terry holds out a hand.]

Take it easy, kid. I'm the good guy here.

[Commentlog] talkingfishbone January 22 2011, 21:22:39 UTC

[There's a moment of hesitation, then he takes the hand and pulls himself to his feet.]

Uh...thanks.

...

[Aaaand stare.]

[Commentlog] gotthesuit January 22 2011, 21:25:26 UTC

There's more of them. Where's your pod?

[Fist pointed out in front of him, Terry keeps a hand on his forearm. The discs the smith made him aren't nearly as good as the ones he had from Bruce, but they're something.]

[Commentlog] talkingfishbone January 22 2011, 21:27:55 UTC

Where's my--

Whoa! No, hey, I was--

I'm helping!

[He gives his arm a shake.]

Okay, okay, leggo.

[Commentlog] gotthesuit January 23 2011, 02:57:30 UTC

[Releasing Hiccup's arm, Terry turns to stare at him for a moment.]

What, were you the bait?

C'mon, if you really wanna help, you've gotta arm yourself.

[Ordinarily he'd insist on taking over himself, but with this many rodents causing havoc, there's no way Terry could manage.]

[Commentlog] talkingfishbone January 23 2011, 03:48:20 UTC

Uh.

[HE HAS A TORCH OR DIDN'T YOU NOTICE.]

Armed and dangerous, if a lil' afraid of those bunnies after I kinda saw them eviscerate this one dude. Can you really blame me?

[For looking remarkably like one of the villagers, he sure knows some modern slang.]

[Commentlog] gotthesuit January 23 2011, 04:20:18 UTC

Can't say I like them much myself.

[Terry really isn't convinced by that torch though.]

Those rabbits aren't exactly afraid of fire. They could be rabid.

[This would be a GREAT time for Bruce to pipe up with the symptoms of rabies and how Terry should look out for them, but in the meantime he'll stick with "foaming at the mouth and trying to gut people".]

You get bit?

[Aw crap, more mice headed this way. Terry bolts towards them, springs over them and blasts flame from the rockets in his boots. It's not ideal and it's wasting fuel, but at least it's keeping both hands free for now.

Plus it's really, really cool.]

[Commentlog] talkingfishbone January 23 2011, 23:57:14 UTC

[Oh my gods, how can you look so cool and still be SO LAME? You weren't sent through time and space for the express purpose of playing nanny to him, were you? DID HIS FATHER SEND YOU?

Hiccup opens his mouth to snark but snaps it shut with a loud click in the next moment.

Because.

ROCKET BOOTS.

...OH THE RATS ARE ON FIRE and scurrying at him. Hiccup starts hopping from foot to foot in an attempt to keep them away from his very flammable boots.]

[Commentlog] gotthesuit January 24 2011, 03:16:20 UTC

[Terry is still running under the impression that these things have rabies, so shut up and let him fuss, Hiccup. B|

The mice don't burn for very long before disintegrating into ash -- rocket fuel burns pretty hot -- and Terry trusts that Hiccup didn't get burned, considering there's no screaming and flailing.

He can see more rabbits bouncing around in the distance though.]

Those things multiply like--

[...]

Yeah okay never mind.

[Commentlog] talkingfishbone January 25 2011, 16:16:40 UTC

What?

[He follows Batman's gaze and--]

Oh, no.

[Hiccup starts backing away, not too keen on becoming another bunny's obsession.]

Look, uhhh. Thanks for the save.

You look really awesome.

I'll--I'll catch up with you later, alright?

[And he's heading off before you start protesting Like An Adult.]
