Sit Down and Listen

Broen was packing his things. Or what things he actually had. He picked up his mirror shades and stared at them before throwing them against the wall, shattering them. "Fuuuck!"

"FUCK! Why the fuck would... fucking stupid asshole!"

He had to get out of here. There had to be some fucking wizard on this island who could open a portal. Or... fuck, something. Get off planet. Out of this dimension. Get somewhere safe.

Finding Broen's dorm room was not the hardest thing in the world, in fact, the constant cursing was a good indication she found the right place. Plan of action... Rory had to grab that belt before he could zoom off again. Christ.

She closed the door the second she entered it, still slightly ajar from his hectic return.

"Broen, hold on," was the first thing she thought to say. She fully expected him to dart and with that belt, he was fucking crafty.

Broen turned around with a start when he heard someone speak. Turning on his heel, he glared at Rory and immediately began looking for an exit. He couldn't see past the door since she had closed it. He was trapped, as of right now.

"Don't fuck with me, Adrastia! I'm not sticking around to get eaten because your dickless boyfriend is a fucking dumbass. In case you didn't notice, we don't.have Alexandrian here. If that thing goes nuclear, we..."

Rory wasn't going to comment on all the insults. She rose her hands somewhat half-way, the way someone did when they were being unthreatening.

"We do have the Alexandrian here. Or, close enough." Is what she began with because it was what would keep his attention long enough that he wouldn't do something stupid. "The Alexandrian you knew was just a vessel. He was an augmentation of the souls of his people." She pointed to her eyes, "this color means I'm activated. If anymore Gultha came over, I'd be the next Alexandrian. With all the power that he had."

Which Rory wasn't sure was strictly true, but then the Gultha couldn't come over either. "So are you willing to sit down and let me explain some things? Or am I going to have to chase you across the city?"

Broen was shaking, planning escape routes. He was barely listening at first, snapping back at Rory with sarcastic 'uh huh's until he actually heard what she said.

Then his head slowly turned to look at her. "Of course. Of fucking course." He slung the backpack he was filling with stuff onto the bed. "You couldn't catch me if you tried, legs. But fine, whatever. Fucking talk."

He was already planning his escape route. Harder to do without the added benefit of his superpower, but he could figure it out. Until then, might as well stall.

Rory sighed because of course Broen was still going to be difficult but at least he was back to sarcastic comments and that was getting somewhere. She didn't think she'd have to remind him 'it's a fucking island, where the fuck are you really going to go?'

Now Rory had to keep thinking... what was the best way to explain this to keep Broen from running?

"Without Giltenn, that's the one in Jude, the other Gultha are weakened. And Giltenn's sole purpose is gathering knowledge to share it with other people." Which was a good place to start, Rory thought.

"And... you're still trying to fucking run. I get that its terrifying Broen but if we can handle you definitely can."

"You turn into the Alexandrian, and I'll..." Broen winced and leaned down to rub his leg. Fuck this metal. It fucking sucked.

"I'm not repeating the shit that happened back home, Adrastia. If I even catch wind of the Boyscout turning into a Gultha, I'll..."

Kill him? Could he, even? Probably not like this, without his powers and with the fuckin pain he was in. Broen reached for a bottle of over the counter painkillers to down a couple. His new routine.

Sarrain · Jul 23, 2018

Rory couldn't grab Broen's belt. She figured that much, even as he reached forward and rubbed at his leg like he were in... pain? Broen wasn't thinking at top speed, that was obvious.

She took a nearby piece of clothing (it didn't matter what) and shoved it under the doorway so that small space was filled before she sat with her back to the door and watched Broen down some painkillers.

"I definitely won't," Rory told him as soon as he'd voiced his concerns. "And they definitely won't. You have nothing to worry about, if you did, Jude wouldn't be here."

She paused, scrutinized him some. "What's wrong with you?" She inclined her chin to the painkillers.

Broen glared at Rory as she blocked what would be his only obvious escape route with one of his shirts. "Nice. You planning on Amazoning me? Wait for the pills to kick in first..."

He took a drink of water and sat down on the bed, sighing. He had wanted to hide it for longer, but...

"Don't tell your fuckin friends. But... you remember when I fuckin murdered Zantibaya? That punch was too much for me. I kind of exploded. And I regenerated, which was cool. But shrapnel from my power limiters..."

He grimaced. A shard in his brain. A piece in his left femur. And about a pound of the fucking metal floating microscopic through his bloodstream. "Hurts like a bitch. Nothing I can't handle."

Sarrain · Jul 23, 2018

"Fucking Hell! Like I need to go all Amazon on you," Rory laughed. But that was quickly replaced by something more serious when Broen willingly (and without a fight) gave up that very sensitive information.

He 'kind of' exploded. Hell, he must have been hurting if he wasn't going to fight about it. Rory nodded, taking that information in.

"Well, fuck," was about as good a response as anything. "I don't think anyone would dare say you couldn't handle it, Broen. That said, you're in about the best place you could be if you wanted something like that fixed."

Which led right into. "And that's why you can't leave. That and the ankle bracelet, don't think I didn't notice that accessory."
