“i don’t LIKE guns.” he should have kept his lips sealed on his DISTASTE for them, but then again, ky’lar always found himself voicing his OPINIONS when they were clearly unwanted, “we should be FINE…if we’re not? well, we’re NOT.”
the laughter that follows his statement of terms is easy and almost unexpected even for her. in truth, the words catch her off guard —that he’d actually think himself important enough for such treatment is wildly amusing. she had told him to name his price, of course, but she’d never said they’d pay it. ❛ is that some kind of joke?❜ as of yet, he’d done nothing to redeem himself in her eyes, nothing to prove such a task warranted. she could do it, of course — she’d wiped enough from her own records — but he would need to EARN it. ❛ don’t push your LUCK, sweetheart. just because i’m here with a job offer, doesn’t mean you’re my only option, and it certainly doesn’t stop me from hauling your ass in. ❜
he knew that his words were risky, but still, he wasn’t going to give up on this chance. if he could manage to get his records wiped, it would help, but at the same time… there was a doubt it would ever happen, and her words ( as well as actions ) confirmed that, ❛ it isn’t a joke. ❜ he said bluntly, ❛ i want EVERYTHING gone. ❜ it wasn’t the only way he would agree, but… that was what he was aiming for, ❛ you might have other options, might even have better one’s, but you asked me my PRICE ❜ it was high, he knew that much, and it was why he was willing to negotiate ( to an extent ). ❛ . you can drag me in if you want, but i can assure you that i’d be of more use on a better side than the one i am now. ❜ a pause, ❛ plus, i doubt you have a cell that would hold me for good. ❜
“i hate EVERYTHING, didn’t you remember that?” granted, he would have ENJOYED something that he would have liked. then again, ky wasn’t USED to anyone getting him ANYTHING, “ ‘sides, i wouldn’t be surprised if it BLOWS up in my face.” a pause, “YOU get it.”
“i’ve been in worse situations before… a few people after my head isn’t anything new.” granted, he usually had a plan to get rid of them, but this time around? well, he didn’t, and that was what made things interesting ( at least to him ), “i’ll figure it out. always do.”
❛ WELL , AT FIRST THEY FLIRT , because they want some action later in their bedrooms ❜ she smirked , leaning her head back a little to look at the man . grabbing a glass she downed her drink and ordered another .
‘ LUCKY FOR YOU, i’m not like MOST people. ’ even if he was, ky’lar DOUBTED that he would actually admit to it. many just wanted some quick action, but he DIDN’T. at least not in the way most would go for it, ‘ nor, do i EVER wish to be. ’
“Well, “ he said, “I might have to take you somewhere if we get time. it’s not the best place i’ve been, but they have have exquisite weapons.” It was a simple offhanded comment, one that he would have kept to himself if it was anyone else, but Colleen, ( for better or ill ) was someone that he trusted enough to not be worried around.
“Either way, i’ll be here a while, and maybe you can learn a few things from me.” a slight grin pulled at his lips for a few moments, “truth be told, this would have come in handy a few years back…just saying,”
there was no doubt about it that ky’s mouth should have stayed shut; going down this route wasn’t going to turn out well for him. true, he betrayed people all the time, but they were usually dead after the fact. a reason to why he was hoping that things wouldn’t go that far — at least he hoped as much, “… is that really what you think of me? we had a deal. i won’t break it simply for a better opportunity down the line.”
Forcing herself to breathe evenly, pistol extended, finger a heartbeat away from the trigger, Maggie clears another room of the seemingly abandoned building. There shouldn’t be anyone about and it’s good practice, giving her time to think and breathe, practice technique alone. Or so she thinks. As she enters another room, there’s a man standing there, one she doesn’t recognize – which shouldn’t be a surprise in the least. Pistol drops to her side automaticly, reaction to seeing someone she viewed at a civilian. ❝ Apologies… Thought I was alone out here. ❞
ABANDONED buildings were easy to hide in. they were rarely checked on, there were usually homeless inside of them, and the general law enforcement never came into check them out. it was the PRIMARY reason to why he was here; to actually work in PEACE outside of his hotel room. the only thing he DIDN’T directly expect was for anyone else to be there — something that he could FIX… if given the proper chance, ❝ you would be, ❞ he said, ❝ on usual days. ❞ then again, this was a day that was far from usual ( at least by his standards ), ❝ no one comes around here… not too often at least. ❞
(★) ─ This was too dangerous: having a civilian out in the open… wanting to fight. “Sir,” The Super Soldier tried again, eyes scanning the surroundings to ensure they were still clear. “I really must insist, it isn’t safe–” Steve pulled up his shield, blocking a blast aimed at the two of them. He couldn’t say this was the first time an innocent had tried standing up with them, it was rare but a downside to the Avengers Initiative. Clint had to escort a kid off a roof because he thought he could help with his little BB gun.
Grinding his teeth, Steve took the man by the arm. “I’ll say this one more time.” The blond couldn’t keep the growl out of his tone. “You need to leave, so I can do my job.” He already had so much blood on his hands: years, decades, centuries of lives lost… Sometimes when he closed his eyes he felt like he was swimming in a sea of blood. He refused to let one more innocent be on his conscious.
He should have considered it lucky that the blast didn’t hit him, but if he wasn’t distracted, it wouldn’t have even gotten that close in the first place. True, he was still a ‘civilian’ in most military terms, but at the same time, Ky’lar wasn’t about to change that anytime soon.
Staying below the radar was easier that way, not getting too involved, and staying as far away from S.H.I.E.L.D. as entirely possible. It gave him a sense of false security that meant he wouldn’t be questioned or even hunted. Though, he had a clear feeling that he was going to be known after this…at least if his assumptions were correct.
His focus, however, was shifted from his personal thoughts on the situation back to reality at the moment Steve grabbed his arm. Granted, it was something that needed to be done as he shouldn’t have even been there to begin with, but at the same time, Ky didn’t exactly see it that way.
“Don’t touch me,” the words, for all that they were worth, were done out of an instinct reaction, “ And go save someone else!”
❝ You’re crazy if you’re willing to meet the other side of me mate. It’s not something you want to be MESSING around with. Plus the demon in me hates most people. Probably you too, if the hate i’m FEELING is anything to go by. ❞
❝ Maybe so, but Demons hate everyone. ❞ Well, maybe it was just Ky that hated everyone, and everything, but that was besides the point, ❝ Either way, I came here for one reason, and I do think that your other half may have some ANSWERS. If it doesn’t? i’ll just… be on my way. ❞
