Part VII
Wynonna couldn't stop trembling. Even when Waverly brought her in for a long hug, there was still a tremor. Nicole stood next to them, though her expression towards Seras was no longer suspicious, it was closer to 'you poor child'.
Seras did not expect that. To be fair, she thought she was only showing Wynonna and not the whole lesbian crew, but still; she didn't expect or mean for her trauma to traumatize Wynonna like this. "Wynonna, are you, alright?" Seras asked tentatively.
The heir nodded, looking at her still trembling arm, it looked like she was willing it to stop, though it did not totally obey her. "Yeah, I'll be fine. I probably should've…." she stopped, drawing the curious looks of Nicole, Waverly, and Seras. "Thank you; for showing me, us, this moment in your life. It clearly was a rough one." She looked into Seras' dark red eyes, which seemed to have gotten darker than they were a few minutes ago, softer, or so Wynonna thought.
Seras smiled softly at Wynonna's unexpected gratitude, both women's cheeks were tinged slightly red. "We are to work together, so we should know where each other comes from. At least something about what makes each other tick, otherwise, how can you trust a stranger to protect you in battle? Also, for some weird reason, I trust you."
Wynonna's blush deepened and Seras almost smirked at that, but then realized there were a couple of other women in the room and added with actual sincerely, "anyone who doesn't try to stake me or destroy me once they find out what I am is nice, so you two have earned my trust too." Waverly smiled at that and Nicole nodded with a smaller smile on her face. Wynonna agreed, thinking about telling the vampire about her own storied past, but decided against it right then.
Nicole at this point had wandered over and gotten herself and Waverly some coffee, and Seras had broken eye contact with Wynonna, walking around the couch.
"You've never been to Purgatory before right?" Nicole asked Seras, who turned around and shook her head. "Waverly, I think we should take her to Shorty's." Seras cocked an eyebrow, and Waverly seemed quite thrilled with that plan; even Wynonna popped a smile at that. Seras shrugged.
As Seras Victoria shrugged, her shadow powers encompassed literally her entire body, making the spot in the room she was standing seem like a black whole, where light was absorbed. The three women took a step back, but it only lasted for a moment, when the shadow cleared, Seras was wearing pajamas no longer, her hair was disheveled no longer.
She was now clad in a dress shirt and blood red tie. Her overcoat was black with grey trim instead of full-blown scarlet, thought the inside lining was a deep red. Her dress pants were gone, replaced with slightly worn black jeans, and dark brown cowboy boots, though her pants went over those, only exposing the foot. Wynonna was sure that Seras' black 'newsboy' cap was straight lifted from 'Peaky Blinders'. The final piece of Seras' fantastical wardrobe change was a pair of sleek blackout shades. Seras raised her shadowy left arm and from it's depths drew a cane for the blind, which Wynonna noted that looked almost identical to Matt Murdock's Daredevil cane from the Netflix show.
"I see your Netflix game is on point, you Peaky Daredevil you," Wynonna commented, smirking. Seras visibly blushed with that displayed her trademark dorky grin.
"Why–" Waverly began, but Seras cut her off.
"The only thing I can't alter about how I appear is my red eyes, so I often walk around as if I was blind. It's not ideal, but it's better than having to fake a conversation about contact lenses or whatever." Seras replied quickly. "And beside, usually, nobody troubles the helpless blind girl," with that she definitely smirked.
Waverly muttered, "Clearly not enough people have heard of Toph Beifong."
If Nicole weren't already admittedly in love with Waverly, that reference would've been the final step. Nicole scooped up the smaller brunette and laid one on her lips, which turned into more, which provoked Wynonna to take up her duties as the older sibling and make obligatory gagging noises until they stopped. They did, eventually…both grinning at each other like the amorous geeks they were.
Well, Wynonna thought, Let's go into town.
A/N: Hey, dearest readers, I'm sorry this is shorter than you'd probably like and doesn't really dig into stuff as you probably hoped, but that'll come eventually. I had fun writing this, and I've updated pretty frequently so I used this chapter to take a breath as it were, and I'm ill, so there's that. I heavily edited the last chapter after it went up to add some stuff that I felt it lacked upon a read through, if the chapter 6 you read was like 1400 words, you haven't read the newer version which is around 1900 words and has more cool stuff. Also, the Finale of Wynonna Earp aired! Holy shit! I loved it, and here is a brilliant youtube of it by a fantastic woman, Alex Shillington: watch?v=xtocDE2GnJ0
Everyone should watch her videos, they're amazing.
