Nightshift 43: Main Hallway, 1-Center

Aug 30, 2009 23:57

[From here]These two were just little Chatty Cathies, weren't they? Whatever. As long as they didn't start talking about how much their love could never be and got to kissing in front of her, they didn't have a problem here. Dahlia followed them as quietly as she could, doing a nice job of attempting to be stealthy and just looking ridiculously ( Read more... )

Anise was hoping Dahlia would maybe drop a name or two, but no such luck. There probably wasn't anyone else who could be counted on to come rescue them, anyway. If Guy turned out to be okay tonight, there was a chance they'd cross paths with him, but there was no way to know for sure if that would happen. And if Guy wasn't okay... well, she wasn't going to think about that ( ... )

"Guess you're stuck with us then," He grinned, though the God-General's smile dropped the moment he sensed something nearby ( ... )

Nobody was here, which was an odd contrast to the hallway he'd just been in. He could hear noises coming from the Sun Room, but it wasn't any of his business, so he didn't stop to check it out. A strange sort of tension formed in his stomach, not from worry or guilt, but from yet another thing that was different from home--having to watch out for fights without actually being in one. He knew he ought to stop looking for these kinds of things, but it was instinctive.

In any case, he was almost at the file rooms.

Finally, he head reached the last hallway of a really annoying string of them. He could hear noises from the Sun room, but he didn't need to go there anyway. Picking the first door on his right, he carefully opened it and glanced inside. Perhaps his opponent was already there? It'd save him the wait, at least.

Surprisingly enough, the amount of people thinned out as he reached their meeting spot. Harvey glanced around in slight paranoia, but the only thing he could hear was a commotion coming from the Sun Room. As far as he knew, that was nothing special, and he had no intention of actually heading in there. Hopefully Jason didn't either.

Speaking of which, where was the kid? Harvey didn't know where Jason was coming from so it was hard to judge how long it would take him, but he was already suspecting that this might be a repeat of what had happened in the courtyard earlier.

If Jason flaked on him again, then that was it. He was either going to find the kid himself and make him talk, or he was going to track Batman down by his own means. He didn't know what those were yet, but he would work something out.

Ten minutes. If Jason hadn't showed up by then, Harvey wasn't going to keep waiting. He leaned against the wall and smirked when he felt his gun dig into his side.

The area was surprisingly empty considering it was a main hallway. It would make it a lot easier to spot Alfred or the baby bird if they came along while he was talking with Two-Face but would make it easier for them to spot him too. He'd have to make sure they didn't hang around here too long. It wouldn't be difficult to convince Two-Face that they could look for a good place to lay their trap while he shared whatever it was he wanted to tell Jason.

Tapping the machete lightly against his shoulder, Jason approached the man standing on his own, making sure that he'd be heard so he didn't have to dodge the pipe over the guy's shoulder. Dent looked fine after last night - no major injuries that he could see. Maybe he'd thought to keep his face wrapped up so he didn't get mistaken for an especially ugly zombie. Or maybe he had unwrapped it and hidden among the hordes of undead.

"Two-Face," he greeted casually, "Tell me, did you score a hot date last night?"

While Harvey had been waiting, he must have started slipping, since for a split second he'd thought he had seen the piping through the opposite wall, only to look back a moment later and find that nothing was out of place. He knew it was easy to make things up when it was dark and you were alone, but he usually wasn't prone to that sort of thing. He also hadn't been prone to seeing undead horses or people or parasite monsters until he had come here, so ( ... )

Jason hissed appreciatively when he saw the gun, grinning at Two-Face as he replied, "Can't get much hotter than that." He almost regretted not being able to find a gun for himself but the only way it could've happened would have been if he abandoned Nataku and he knew exactly what sort of asshole left a kid alone in that kind of mess.

"I didn't get anything near as nice but I can manage just fine with this." He tapped the machete against his shoulder again for emphasis. It was bulkier than his dagger and nowhere near as sharp but it'd do for taking care of himself. Guns and knives would only do so much against Batman, the most effective weapon against him had always been his guilt. And that was what made Harvey so useful, if it was true that Bruce didn't know Jason. The gun was just an added bonus. A really nice bonus.

Good thing he'd kept a hold on his flashlight, it was still really dark out here when there wasn't any windows. He fumbled with it for a few seconds to turn it on, getting both himself and Loz over a little ways down from the door. They could wait for whoever was supposed to come with them here.

"Aww man." He just realized he still had a whole bunch of that sticky stuff on his shirt. Well, he'd deal with that once Loz was okay and didn't need someone to hold him up.

oldestremnant September 1 2009, 04:19:31 UTC

Loz plopped heavily down and leaned against the wall. He put a hand to his chest, wincing as pain flared through it again. The Remnant lifted up his shirt and saw that he now sported a large bruise where the costumed man had kicked him.

Loz put his shirt back down and then did what he had been trying not to do for the past few minutes. He started to cry. He wanted to cover his face and hide his tears, but his arms felt like they weighed a million pounds.

brooklynisangry September 1 2009, 04:30:59 UTC

Once Loz didn't need his help for the moment, Beelzemon dropped his flashlight and tried to wrestle his way out of the sticky shirt. He didn't want to have to deal with the thing any more, it was just being a pain and sticking to itself.

Just as he was tossing the thing away, he realized he was being an idiot and not noticing that Loz was crying. "Awww." He sat down next to Loz, putting an arm around him to try to be comforting. "You did good back there."

oldestremnant September 1 2009, 04:40:56 UTC

For once, Loz didn't immediately deny that he was crying. He was too exhausted and emotional at the moment. So, he just leaned into Beelzemon's embrace, murmering, "Yeah... you did too..." The Remnant managed to quirk the corner of his lip in a faint smile.

Loz wasn't used to being comforted, but he couldn't deny that it felt... very nice. Eventually, the tears stopped flowing, although Loz did still sniff a few times and his cheeks were still wet
