he hadn’t had anyone to fear in the framework, not after meeting ophelia anyway. he doesn’t have agents forced to throw themselves into danger for him anymore or an entire world just a bit too scared to act against him but the reality of that hasn’t quite caught up to him “you’re supposed to be dangerous??” // s.c, @hellfirebound
the question wasn’t the first to be asked and he doubted it would be the last. dangerous was simply a perspective; one that could be taken several ways in all reality. maybe in the framework things were different to the point where there was a concrete order of things, but here, everything was shades of grey, and some darker than others,
❝ i’m supposedto be lots of things —- just have to be in the right mood for them. ❞
new york was known as a city that was dangerous. even before all the superheroes that decided to pop up that brought along the villains. it was dark and crowded and could be very dangerous if someone was not careful. now, the safety had improved quite a bit thanks to the presence of the avengers, defenders, spider-man, and all of the others but there were still some sections of the city that still were dragged down by the darkness that was new york’s history.
and the area they were in, well, jessica was the only super person that seemed to patrol them. it was dark and seedy, and sometimes not so good people were about. the man before her was currently on that scheme of things, at least in her mind. men who approached girls on the street at night could never be up to something good.
the glare on her face does not fade. if anything, it seems like her glare grows darker and deeper. “ google it or go to the one i told you. surely you’ve heard of a cell phone, yeah? ”
there was a slight amount of ANNOYANCE that was building up in the back of his mind; the simple fact was that as much as ky’lar WISHED he could simply walk way, it wouldn’t SERVE anyone well at the current time, and there was no DOUBT about it that it would only get him in more trouble.
if it was one thing he was SURE about, it was that the girl wasn’t exactly too keen on HELPING him out. not that he could truly BLAME her; if he was in the same position, he more than likely WOULD have done the same thing ( more or less ).
❝ —– yeah. i’ve heard of one. ❞ that much was quite OBVIOUS in this day and age. a reason to why he decided it was in his BEST interests to take a step BACK; not just from her, but the situation. true, he SHOULD have just gone to a RUN down hotel, but at this RATE, he could DEAL with walking around until he FOUND one that was MANAGEABLE in his own standards,
❝ mine’s DEAD is all….doesn’t hold a charge too well. ❞ though, the reality of matters was he was just UNMOTIVATED, but that was ultimately not here nor there.
She didn’t plan on fighting, not tonight. She certainly didn’t plan on using her katana either but there were Hand agents missing limbs now and she was tired. She sent most of the scurrying off but was bleeding and bruised herself; she was pretty certain that Danny was going to be upset she didn’t follow them. Could you blame her? After the week she had she wasn’t really certain she wanted to know what was down that rabbit hole. Collen wiped her blade against some cardboard when she heard the sound of footsteps. She gripped her katana tightly and turned in the direction of the sound. “Not another step alright? Turn around and leave.”
ky’lar knew that tracking down members of the hand would be dangerous; even more so since he had managed to avoid them before out of habit. it wasn’t his place to get involved in what didn’t directly involve him and for the last month he had been doing quitewell with that standing order. though, in reality, it was just a matter of time before things reached a perpetual boiling point… just like it had right now.
❝ i don’t think i can do that. ❞ a bold statement, but not exactly the truth. if he wanted to, he could have walked way right then, and there. however, that would have meant he could pull himself away from the situation, and that the moment, he couldn’t,
❝ ‘course, you could enlighten me, an’ i might leave. ❞
