Up comes Grace, with a frown and stormy eyes. She takes a few practice swings, slowing down and exaggerating the last, then steps toward the plate.

The angel wants her to bunt.

She's considering a sacrifice fly. Bunting isn't really her style; neither is listening to angels.

Her eyes flick to Castiel at first before she settles in and waits for her pitch.

"Third time's the charm?" Duo offers. "It's been nice knowing you, Grace."

Re: Grace at bat headed4hell September 19 2009, 02:37:14 UTC

"Yeah," Grace agrees. "Been nice."

Smiles, banter and eye contact (except with the ball) are noticeably absent. She squints, waiting.

Re: Grace at bat maxwellsdemon02 September 19 2009, 02:39:33 UTC

Hmmm.

Knuckleball.

Re: Grace at bat headed4hell September 19 2009, 02:45:00 UTC

Crap.

Strike one.

Grace fans her fingers out, then tightens her grip. There's an itch on the back of her neck, like something compelling her to look at the angel again. She ignores it.

Re: Grace at bat maxwellsdemon02 September 19 2009, 03:06:17 UTC

Duo peers back at Castiel and Enzo, checking to see if they're trying to steal. But nope.

Okay, then.

Fastball.

Re: Grace at bat headed4hell September 19 2009, 03:11:42 UTC

That's the ticket.

With what can only be termed unholy glee, Grace brings her bat around hard and whacks a line drive. It's a hit fueled by annoyance and defiant pride.

Bunt? Ha.

Grace throws the bat and hurls herself at first. Here's hoping Enzo makes it home anyway.

Humans. They are very poor at following orders, most of the time.

Castiel, upon reflection, thinks he probably should have seen that coming. Grace seems to have a sizable streak of the quality humans call 'contrariness.'

He reflects on the run, though, heading for second.

Booth, at first, jumps for the throw heading toward him.

He turns back toward the base and tags it just before Grace reaches it.

Before stopping to gloat, he turns to see if Castiel has hit second yet.

Re: Grace at bat thursdays_angel September 19 2009, 03:54:20 UTC

Castiel steps on second, and turns back in time to see Booth throwing the ball back to the pitcher's mound.

He raises an eyebrow at Grace, but it may be hard to see under the hat.

Re: Grace at bat a1enzo September 19 2009, 04:01:38 UTC

Enzo has always been a fast runner, and that was before he began regular training. He's already doing a little victory dance behind home plate.

Re: Grace at bat headed4hell September 19 2009, 04:07:52 UTC

Grace doesn't have to see it. She feels Castiel's raised eyebrow and turns, walking backwards to the bench, to give the angel a cheeky salute. It's followed by a grin and thumbs up for Enzo.

If she has to go out, she's going out fighting.

At the bottom of the sixth, it's Paradoxes 2, Enigmas 3.

And Sari Sumdac is ready to get the seventh underway.
