Supermodel and I worked on the computer while the guys managed to get Blondie back under control. (HA! If only those Sues could have seen him then, his eyes and nose red and puffy from crying, his skin all blotchy, his hair a mess. They would have thought twice about attacking him. Some out of sheer pity, I'm sure.)
Supermodel was a very fast learner and between the two of us we had managed to banish the Sue reinforcements before the next morning. Of course, there would always be more of them but if she and I could just get the numbers down to manageable (or teach one of the guys) we'd be able to at least control the situation.
As it was now Blondie couldn't even be seen outdoors without starting a riot. Things were getting pretty bad for Scruffy, too and he had taken to skulking around inside more often. Hairy had to take his place at the negotiations table because some of the Sues had tried to put the moves on The Scruffy One once they got within range.
Oh, yes, the Sues were still willing to negotiate for Blondie's "release". (Like he was being held captive). They viewed the demise of other Sues as sort of a Darwinian comeuppance. How foolish of them!
I was hiding in my usual place during the negotiations when we got hit with a particularly nasty Sue. (A redhead, figures).
Gorgeous actually made a noise that sounded like "oh" when he saw her.
I poked him in the gut. "Pay attention!" I snapped at him in annoyance.
He stared for several minutes and I had to growl at him and start writing myself before he actually stopped gawping and started helping.
"Do you want to be rid of these Sues or not?" I demanded. (The ingrate!)
"Yes, yes, uhm," he said distracted again by Red.
I gave him THE LOOK that every man everywhere knows and he straightened right up. (At least THAT still works)
Supermodel had joined us to watch the proceedings. She didn't much like Red, either, I could tell. Felt this Sue would need a bit of extra effort.
"Make haste with this one," she said anxiously.
"I'm trying but SOMEBODY isn't being much help," I hissed.
Gorgeous actually had the decency to blush and lower his eyes. He started talking.
Red must've had pretty damn good ears (it's a Sue-elf thing, I'm told. Whatever.) She got up from the table and started stalking around. I stopped typing. The three of us held our breath as Red approached our hiding place.
I know that stupid bastard did something to set her off. Don't know what it was exactly but he let her know he was there somehow. The next thing I know, our curtain of secrecy is torn away and I'm staring at a really horny Sue.
Red didn't pay much attention to Supermodel or me. (Dumb girl.) She just reached right in and snatched a grinning Blondie from his place behind me. (Oh, he is so going to get it for this stunt!)
"Ah, Prince of Mirkwood," Red said in a throaty purr. My skin crawled. "I have journeyed from afar to gaze upon your legendary manliness," she flashed him a devastatingly white smile.
He grinned stupidly. (Bad sign. Blood flow to brain has been diverted.)
"Do something," Supermodel whispered to me.
"No," I said stubbornly. "He wanted it and now he's gonna get it." (Serves him right)
She looked at me in horror and made to grab the computer. I jerked it away from her.
"Let him learn his lesson," I warned. "We have a saying where I come from 'beware of what you wish for because you will most certainly get it'. Let him feel their wrath and maybe he'll stop being such an idiot." (Fat chance, I know).

A/N: Thank you so much to my reviewers! I had a lot of fun writing this and I'm glad you find it entertaining.
ElvenSailorGirl – I'm glad you laughed. (I still giggle about the "knock that off, you moron!" Poor Legolas gets some serious abuse but I still love him.)
Dream and Write – Wow! Thanks! I'm flattered! Girl will get the big head if I don't lay the smack down! ;-)
