"So, help me out here baby condom." Wynonna starts off carefully slinging an arm around Rachel's shoulders as they walk "because as far as I know akolight isn't rev kryptonite anymore but revenant I don't know some kind of rainbow body armor so when you and sheriff Haughty Froggie rebury it were you hoping it'd repel them all over again?"
"I think so?" the teenager nodes "Nic wasn't all that clear on the details only that we had to get the thing into the ground beside her angel's Pokémon of a hamster before Zombie bigfoot came back for another run at us."
Wynonna answers with a quiet node as they come up on what passed for a pet cemetery on the Earp homestead.
"Wanna try that 'Billy see' thing again?" Rachel suggests noticing how stiff the ground had become since her last trip out here.
The Earp heir at her side shrugs her shoulder "Worth a shot." She agreed passing off the shovel while the floating bandana that was Billy lumbered closer to them.
In the end 'reaper puppy' as Wynonna called him did eventually take over for them sending dirt and little rocks flying the deeper, he went.
It's a heartbroken sounding yell followed by an impressing yet equally worrying pulse of pure unearthly power in the direction of the truck that has Wynonna reaching for the weapon at her hip. "Keep digging." She orders drawing Peacemaker. Her lungs are already burning as she sprints back the way she and Rachel had come hating herself for leaving the teenager alone with a demon but fear for her baby sister was just too strong of a pull to ignore.
Waverly seems fine when she comes into view albeit cursing up a storm in what seems every language the nerdy woman knew before collapsing to her knees with even more broken sobs beside the battered truck. Honestly, it was amazing the thing was still in one piece given the amount of damage to the passenger side along with every window shattered.
"Hey, hey baby girl." Wynonna called out not wanting to risk spooking the younger woman by putting a hand to her shoulder.
As soon as she was within reach Waverly collapsed against Wynonna's front her hand fisting against the back of the standing woman's leather jacket threatening to rip it apart if she held tight enough. "Nicole-" her little sister sobbed. The hum of power clinging to the upset woman's body making her touch sting like an exposed live wire but Wynonna refused to let go.
Panicked Wynonna's eyes scanned the open door of the truck Waverly had been sitting in. Only when she spotted an incredibly guilty and still frogged Nicole peeking out at them from around the slightly mangled open door did the heir breathe a sigh of relief then directing an accusing "What the hell, Haught?" in the frogged woman's direction.
Rather than give even a ribbit in answer Nicole only moved enough to hide her smaller body behind the curve of the door leaving only Waverly's broken and unintelligible sobs to try and give the confused woman any kind of answer.
"Waves baby I need you to breath can you do that for me sweet girl?"
The sisters where on their knees now. Waverly still holding fistfuls of Wynonna's jacket while her breath becomes more and more erratic. "Come on baby girl." Wynonna encouraged "Can you copy me?" she tries again taking a few deep breaths.
"What's wrong?" At Wynonna's pointed look Rachel holds up the amulet while the now earth dusted Billy shakes himself clean once again giving a rather dog-like impression in the demon hunter's eyes that any other time would have warranted a smile and even a long laugh. "Now what's wrong?" the teenager repeats the same time Waverly's breathing seems to even out against her older sister's shoulder whilst she continues to cling on like a drowning woman.
Wynonna shakes her head unable to give a proper answer.
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry
For breaking your heart
"Wha-" Rachel and Wynonna look toward the truck with mirrored expressions of amazement and surprise to see Nicole somehow maneuvering her smaller body to working the truck's radio. "God Haught not you too." Wynonna groaned as the Adele song continued playing but the frog's gaze didn't stray from the sobbing angel in her arms.
"Are you seriously trying some Bumblebee, Transformers stuff of talking via radio?" Rachel laughed when in another complicated twisting of the controls Nicole had changed to another Adele song this one the cover of 'Make you feel my love' before she lost whatever grip she'd had on the radio controls sending her falling down onto the floorboards.
Rachel immediately jogging over to check if she was alright while Waverly's hand shoots out to close around a surprised Billy's wrist when he moves to follow her whilst Waverly, shakes off her older sister's grip as she climbs back to her feet.
At her hip Peacemaker heats up bright blue while Wynonna backs away toward Rachel and Nicole each step like walking in led shoes but she can't make herself move forward. She tries several times but it's like some otherworldly force is pushing her back like some softer version of the Eden stairs barrier.
"Tell me everything you can about her deal."
Wynonna and Rachel share a panicked glance at the amount of venom behind the order or it could have been the now aura like glow coming from the shorter woman. Somehow her angel powers beating back the reapers rage.
"Dammit Haught, what the hell did you do?" Rachel groans not for the first time regretting not pushing harder to get the woman that had become like another mother to her to open up after hearing about Nicole's first trip to Magpie place.
"Then how do we break this covenant thing because I'm pretty sure it didn't include a body snatchers clause." Waverly snarls in answer to something neither of the human women can hear. Even Nicole gives a ribbited kind of laugh at that from her burrowing hiding place of the shoulder of Rachel's jacket. "Well seeing as one of the bodies belongs to the love of my life that isn't an option." The angry angel fires back to whatever it was Billy was telling her.
"This is like some messed up imaginary friend's deal huh?" Rachel suggests leaning against the side of the truck trying to ease just a little of the almost palpable tension in the air.
Wynonna snickers as she turns around digging under the seat for something that turned out to be a battered flask the longer the angel and the reaper shushed out what details they could about the fight to come. "None of my friends ever got frogged." She confesses unscrewing the lid but pausing before actually bringing the container to her lips for a drink.
Waverly had let go of her prey and had started stomping back toward the truck.
"You sleep downstairs until I say otherwise." Even Billy seemed to flinch as Waverly's eyes lock on Nicole's.
"Waves-" Wynonna began as her sister rounds the front of the truck heading for the driver's side tears visible in her eyes as she moves, but a small webbed touch against her finger makes her pause.
Nicole shakes her head a move that ends in her entire body as she moves from Rachel's shoulder to Wynonna's as the teenager jumps into the truck bed and Billy hauls himself in behind her leaving Wynonna scrambling for a seat as Waverly turns the truck back on pointing it toward home.
