Chapter Two - Bar Brawl
Middle of Nowhere, Texas.
Paige sat with a crystal hovering over a map when she suddenly jumped up - knocking over the coffee table - and hollered,
"Got her!"
"What are you waiting for then? Let's go!" Came Phoebe's voice in return.
Paige shrugged and shoved a few bottles of various vanquishing potions - along with the map and crystal - in her pocket, as a precaution then took hold of Phoebe and they orbed out. They stopped halfway to their required destination when Phoebe complained she felt dizzy. Well... she wasn't exactly used to traveling half way across the country by orbs.
"I swear, if Leo ever decides to get his ass back down here, I'm gonna kick it right back up there!" Paige declared, pointing at the sky, and she could have sworn she heard him chuckle but shrugged off the thought.
"Yeah, I think I'll help. Ever since he decided to take up the offer of becoming an Elder, Piper's gone right off the rails. It's like she doesn't care about anything anymore, not even Wyatt..."
"I'm sure somewhere in that complex mind of hers, she still cares about Wyatt at least, but I'm still gonna kick Leo's ass!"
"Hey, you're half white-lighter, couldn't you go up there and kick his ass?"
"Nah, not officially a white-lighter yet, just got the orbing power so far..."
"Oh... yeah. Well, I guess we better get going if we wanna bring back our estranged sister before she disappears again."
Paige simply nodded, and they orbed out again.
Scully stood in the same spot at the bar, as if her feet had been glued to the floor. She looked up, and seriously thought she was losing her mind when she saw the swirl of white and blue lights above her head. The orbs of light dispersed and she felt something drop on top of her. Lying splayed out on the ground with a weight on her stomach she realized it wasn't something but rather someone. She stared at the red haired woman for a few seconds before she started wriggling underneath the weight.
"Shit, really need to remember to sense an empty spot before I orb in." Paige muttered, standing up and brushing off her clothes.
She was still pretty new to the whole magic thing. When she was done brushing the dust off her jeans, she held a hand out to Scully whom still lay on the floor, stunned, and hoisted her to her feet. Scully stood staring at the woman who'd somehow fallen out of thin air to land on top of her, and then glanced at Mulder, who looked just as shocked as she did. Just my luck, we've walked straight into another godamn X-file! She thought when she saw the expression on Mulder's face. He'd gone from shocked to intrigue and she just knew he'd want to investigate this one. Especially when, across the bar where Scully had watched the dark haired woman earlier, the other woman who'd seemingly dropped out of thin air was levitating off the ground. She was hanging in mid air, and one of the men ran toward her, the blue ball in his hand again. He pulled back his arm and let the ball fly through the air. The woman flipped in the air then kicked the man square in the chest before landing deftly on the ground soundlessly.
"Paige, the potion!"
Mulder and Scully stood side by side, looking on in disbelief as the Paige threw a small vial of green liquid at one of the men and he burst into flame before completely disappearing. Scully walked over to where he'd been and noted that there wasn't even a speck of ash left of him.
They watched as Paige and the levitating woman ran toward the other woman they'd seen earlier. Mulder followed closely behind and Scully placed a hand on his shoulder to pull him back but he'd already caught up.
"Wait..."
He said, touching the arm of one of the women, then he and Scully found themselves whizzing through the air in a swirl of the same blue and white light they'd seen two of the woman arrive in.
