lol well, hope its not too horrible

Kris was grateful for being moved out of harms way, although he would rather have something for the massive headache he was feeling at the moment. His vision was clearing up and he could feel strength come back to his legs. It was all rather strange that his body was recovering this fast. Blood still dripped over his left eye from his head injury, although it was not as bad as before.

"Thanks for the help Ryan" He said as he moved away from the other man's support. At least he could stand on his own now, though just a bit wobbly. He looked around the sewers and sighed heavily. What a place to be.

He heard someone landing on the ground and turned slowly. Only to see the last person he would ever have wanted to see. it was the Shadow Man again. Kris desperately tried to think of a way to help everyone out, but his mind was still too fuzzy from the concussion. He only hoped that him and the others could do something against this man.

Ryan smiled as Amy leaned against him, letting out a small sigh of satisfaction. They had made it through, they were safe now, even if only for a little while. He would let himself enjoy the moment. He raised an arm up to let Kris stand. "No problem man. Us non-psychopaths from hell have gotta stick together."

He reached a hand over and gently brushed a stand of hair out of Amy's face, about to get mushy and thank her for all she had done, when an all-too familiar noise broke the relative silence of the tunnel.

Damn.

He forced himself to his feet as Ray blasted a hole through the ceiling and landed about 20 feet from them. The sight of the man sickened him. "Good afternoon ladies! Long time no see." Ryan gazed at him for a second in disbelief. He made no attempt to hide any of his hate and anger as he stared the lunatic directly in the eyes.

"What the hell happened to you, did your mother get irradiated right before they botched the abortion?"

"looks like we have a fucking comedian in the house" Ray mutters his eye's pulsing with the dark energy "that slab of concrete you threw at me sliced my stomach open, very painful..."
Ray moves his hand over his chest removing the layer of black energy the guarded his chest, reveling the damage, exposed organs and bones.
"as much as i would love to kill you all were you stand, i would hate to get raw sewage inside of me, besides your all obviously tired." Ray lets out a small chuckle as the energy sparks in his eye's, reading the hero's thought's and memories.
"we'll continue this later, i don't find any joy in killing a weary opponent. anyway, i know were to find you."

 

[Aqualung]

Slowly, using Ryan's shoulder to push herself up from the floor, Amy stood to face Ray, fury laced on her face like fire. Her legs shook- though whether they shook from rage or weakness, she was unsure. Her vision blurred from the fatigue, but somehow, she managed to stay on her feet.

Yet, she managed to speak. "I look forward to our next meeting," she replied darkly. "Next time..." Her right leg spasmed, and she fell to her knees with a small groan.

My shortest. Post. EVAR!

The arrogance of the man. It bothered Kris, he had spent the better part of the past two years putting arrogant thugs back in their place. But he had underestimated the man in front of them, and he was simply too weak to handle him. The thought of being inferior to this man was sickening.

Kris wiped blood out of his eye again, still not really helping. Kris wasn't afraid of the man, he was out right furious and that fury might have been what kept him from fighting more efficiently. As much as Kris wanted to beat his face in, he knew that with his concussion and weak body, he couldn't do anything. So all he could do was stand there and stare at the man. If looks could kill, the man would be three different kinds of dead right now.

Ryan caught Amy as she fell, holding her steady. "You should thank me, Ray, it improves you're overall appearance." He helped Amy sit down, then turned his black gaze back on the man. "If you plan on ever trying to hurt her again, you better go say goodbye to your slut of a mother ahead of time. Unless of course she's already in hell, in which case i guess you're basically set." He was surprised by the hate in his voice. It wasn't in his nature at all, but right now it seemed like the most natural thing to say.

 

[Nukey]

Ray blankly stare's at Ryan in disbelief
"don't push your luck Ryan, a sewer would be the appropriate resting place for a piece of shit such as yourself, but im being kind enough to show you some mercy, now take your whore of a girlfriend, and get the fuck out of here" Ray mutters in a monotone "why did you attack me anyway?"

 

[Grimheart]

"I think it would have something to do with our... confrontation. That and the attacks against Threewords."Kris said before turning around and trying to move away, using his saber to help him walk. Well, if this Ray was going to give them a chance to get away, Kris wasn't going to let it go to waste. he needed help, they all did, and they wouldn't find it underground in some sewer tunnel.

Yesh plz. Thanks, again. *sheepish grin*

Also, i'm really sorry about this guys. I'll try and get it fixed asap. Hopefully there won't be any more interruptions.

EDIT: My post.

Ryan's mouth fell open in utter disbelief. Was this guy for real?

He stood there for a moment, staring at the suddenly even more idiotic lunatic, then sprang forward a step, yelling at the top of his lungs. "WHY DID I ATTACK YOU??? WHY DID I ATTACK YOU?!?!?! YOU FUC-" he stopped as he felt Amy's hand on his arm. Looking down to her, he saw the weariness in her eyes, and remembered their situation.

She was right. They needed to take this opportunity and leave. If they fought Ray now, they'd all die. He took a deep breath, and stepped back, his eyes darkening and his demeanor going stone cold. He seemed to draw his hate and fury back into his body, to be pent up and used another time.

Without a word, he helped Amy to her feet, then turned and followed Kris down the tunnel into the darkness of the sewers. As they faded into the blackness, he turned his head to glance one last time at Ray, with a look that could have melted iron.

 

[Aqualung]

As they walked quietly into the darkness, Amy forced herself to keep looking forward, though she could feel Ray's eyes boring into the back of her skull. After he was too far to hear them, she sighed, feeling her body finally relax.

She felt the darkness surround them, and for the first time that day, she welcomed it. Her eyes burned, and with the darkness, she was able to finally let a few clear tears roll down her face without being seen.

"All I wanted today was to explore the city. I guess this is the most thorough way to do it, huh?" she said after a long silence, interrupting the sound of their feet against the cold path. She crossed her arms over her chest, feeling the deep chill that accompanied the sewers; had she known this was where she'd end up today, she would have worn more than a T-shirt and shorts.

 

[Nukey]

Ray glance's at the three hero's walk away into the darkness, walk away into the darkness, a darkness he couldn't control, he raise's his hand towards the sky and fires a blast of dark energy allowing him to exit the sewer, Ray lifts himself up and fly's upwards out of the city sewers. landing on the road were he had been fighting on earlier.

"Terry? Terry? where are you terry?" Ray shouts out, looking for his comrade.

 

[Yorgmiester]

Ryan usually would have chuckled at her joke, but not this time. He was deep in thought, deep in contemplation, and in no mood for humor, which was rare for him. He just couldn't help but feel like this was his fault. He shouldn't have let her come with him, when he went to help Supergirl. He probably would have died, of course, but he was gonna die now anyway, so at least she would have still been safe. You really think you could have stopped her from coming? After what she's shown you today, you honestly think she would have sat by and done nothing?

She trusted you.

He sighed, shivering a bit. There was a long moment of silence as their shoes slapped against the slick, grimy floor, and the sound of Kris's sword grating against the stone filtered through the murk ahead of them.

"Amy..." he began, then stopped, not sure of what to say. "Amy... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He rubbed his face with one hand. "I'm sorry about back there, and on the roof... and just... I'm sorry." He took a deep breath, blinking back tears. "You saved my life twice today, and all I've done is fuck your's up."

 

[Grimheart]

"Ugh, this was not how i pictured my day..." Kris muttered as he walked along the cold sewer tunnel. He was glad that he had worn his leather jacket, it was keeping him warm enough, though nothing could be done about the smell."I... I think i recognize this place."he said as they came to a 'T' intersection.

He walked around the right corner and searched one of the walls. What he found made him smile. It was one of his own little markings, telling them which way was safest to go.

"You saved my life twice today, and all I've done is fuck your's up."

He walked around the corner again and spoke to the two others."Hey, ummm... sorry if i'm interrupting something but i think i can get us out of here."

 

[Aqualung]

Amy nodded to Kris, but held up a finger. "One minute." She stopped, her footsteps echoing into silence. She reached out as he continued to walk, and grabbed his sleeve, turning him around.

"Ryan," she said, with a smile that shone through the darkness. She reached upward with one hand and ran her fingers through his hair, the same way her mother had done to her when she was upset. Before the accident, before her mother's fingers had grown cold.

She sighed lightly, tilting her head. "I've learned more about myself today, with you, than anyone has ever told me. Why should you be sorry? Besides; I've met some pretty incredible people on the way."

Her smile faded, and she leaned closely toward Ryan, her bright eyes open and rather calming. "Why should you be sorry...?" Her voice had dimmed to a whisper without her realizing it.

At that moment, a second puff of a golden cloud rose from her throat, illuminating the surprise on her face. She then smiled, watching the cloud float to the ceiling and disappear. After a long pause, she beamed at Ryan, and continued to walk toward Kris.

She turned as she walked, moving backwards to smile at Ryan as she moved further and further away towards Kris, almost teasingly. "Why would you ever possibly feel sorry?"

 

[Grimheart]

"Why would you ever possibly feel sorry?"

"Huh? oh I dunno, must be the bump on my head."He said with a grin. He moved back to the symbol etched into the wall of the sewer and waited until Amy and Ryan walked up to him before he continued. "You see this marking?" he said as he pointed it out. It looked like an arrow pointing to a square with a 'x' inside of it. "Well, this thing means that if we go down this path, we will eventually find our way to a safe place."

Thinking back a few days, he was glad to have used these sewers on some of his jobs. Sure the air was putrid, but at least he could move without being seen and get to all the places that he needed to go. Being a thief wasn't always so fun, but it always paid off for Kris.
