Danica #8 — Gizem #7
“K— Kyou…?” Danni repeated the name. It sounded foreign, that was for sure. With introductions over, the young man — who had now stripped himself of one layer of admittedly shredded cloth — questioned her ability. Though he might have meant it in something of an amusing sense, that didn’t stop Miss Halley from pinching her chin in thought as she considered the possibility. Had the star she had eaten given her more than just the power to accelerate like a comet?
“I… I don’t think I can,” she replied.
And then he commented on attire. An unexpected comment to say the least, though it prompted her gaze to shift. Her coat was a bit dusty, not really damaged and especially not to the same extent of Kyou’s own outer layer. However, she was up a few stains — the juices of a few fruits that had been pulverised when she’d plowed through that vendor’s cart. For the most part, her gift had protected her, which was a lot more than could be said of her supposed accomplice. Brushing some small specks off of her bodysuit and sleeves, she looked at him oddly.
“Phew,” Danni exhaled. “I can’t believe I got into trouble with the Marines. We should go back; explain what happened. Maybe they’ll understand and let us off the hook, oui? Then again,” the Comet Girl clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth, but wasted no time in a continuation of her sentence, “that Navy lady was kind of scary…”—— ON THE STREETS ——
Gizem’s blocky paws slammed against the ground as she ran — as she bounded through town in pursuit of the criminal coalition. Holding for dear life onto her back was the form of Petty Officer Jackson, his spiky hair quivering in the breeze as he did his best to hold his baseball cap to his skull. Some of his comrades would’ve perhaps been jealous of his position right now, but that was of little concern to him as the LT raced through Jreum’s streets.
Upon her head, likely having an easier time of it, was the Haggis.“Lieutenant,” Jackson quizzed:
“Are you sure they went this way…?”
“I’m not, no,” Miss Rubik replied honestly.
A moment of struggling silence persisted as she bounded sideways to avoid collisions, but otherwise continued to follow the streets headed towards the Residential Block, all the while loomed over by the imposing fortifications of the World Navy. Determined she was to find the Bonnie and Clyde twosome, recklessly so in fact as more than a few times did the Petty Officer nearly get cast off her back. It was all he could do to avoid screaming in apparent panic — most unbecoming of an aspiring officer of the law.“But, Petty Officer,” she added with gusto:
“We must be seen working towards Justice!”
