Dante POV
HolyshitholyshitholyshitI'mgonnadieI'mgonnadieI'mgonnafuckingdiiiiiieee! Was pretty much the only thought on my mind as I stared down past my dangling feet at the swiftly passing buildings, feeling the wind rippling through my hair, with a trench coat in my arms, and Spencer keeping me from becoming Dante pizza with nothing but his hands hooked under my armpits.
"If you drop me, I'm gonna kick your ass!" I yelled up at him, unsure if he could even hear me over the wind. He grinned down at me maliciously.
"What's that?! You want to go fast?!" Before I could tell him just what I thought of that idea, he began to beat his wings harder, speeding up and making me scream like a hysterical child.
"You psychotic asshole!" I screeched, trying not to move too much. He laughed.
"What?! Faster?!" I moaned in terror and pressed the cloth of the coat against my face, blocking the harrowing scene.
"Make it stoooop!" Spencer dipped suddenly, causing me to swing wildly and scream. He laughed again.
"Maybe I'll slow down if you say I'm the coolest person in all of Remnant." Even in the face of near-certain doom, I chose a sarcastic reply.
"I'm the coolest person in all of Remnant!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. He sped up, and all I could do was pray we were almost there.
Ruby POV (about 98 seconds ago)
"You have. . .wings?!" Yang sounded impressed and Spencer puffed out his chest.
"Damn straight I do!" I glanced at Dante, who hadn't reacted to the revelation at all. Then she sweatdropped, as if realizing something.
"I take it back, Cali's the lightest." Spencer chuckled and tossed her his coat, which she caught easily. He moved behind her and started to put his hands on her waist. "Um, no." She said, and he furrowed his brow.
"Seriously?" She shrugged and he shook his head. "Fine, I carry you under your arms." Dante shuddered, but nodded.
"Fine. Let's just get this over wi-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttthhhh!" Her voice faded as Spencer took off, arcing high into the sky and disappearing within moments. Cali turned to Anna.
"You volunteered me for that?" Anna chuckled sheepishly.
"I guess so." Yang smirked and tossed the keys up before catching them with a jingle.
"Mmkay, kids, let's go!" We all started for the car, but Skye soon stopped.
"Hold the fuck up, where am I sitting?" Yang shrugged.
"Hey, I'm the driver, s'not my problem." Weiss bit her lip to keep from laughing.
"Looks like Date got saddled with her." Anna and I laughed, and Yang looked taken aback.
"Wow. That was a pretty good one, Weiss." Weiss offered a little curtsy and Skye sighed heavily.
"Ugh, okay." She jabbed her finger in Date's face. "But if you get a boner, I'm going to neuter you." Date laughed.
"Doesn't worry, there's not much chance of that happening." She flushed angrily.
"The hell does that mean?!" He smirked.
"It means that you're not my type." Anna laughed.
"Ouch, role reversal~! How's it taste, doc? Your own medicine that is!" She cackled and Skye scowled in annoyance.
"Ugh, whatever, let's just go."
Spencer POV
"Dante! Stop. . .wiggling, dammit!" I ground out, trying to hold on to her. She glared up at me.
"I'm not wiggling! Your fucking girly grip is failing!"
"My. . .grip. . .is not. . .girly! You're just. . .fucking. . .fat!" I wheezed as I looked down and saw a long stone drive leading to an immense, spire topped, castle-esque structure that was looming closer. "Hey. . .Is. . .ugh. . .is that. . .Beacon?" She looked down as well and nodded. I sighed in relief, but tensed up again as she slid another inch in my grip. I had to get down. . .and fast.
"Yeah, that's it! Start going down!" I nodded and concentrated, then began to descend slowly. I aimed for the nearest rooftop, still descending slowly, and hoping that my grasp on Dante would last long enough to make a clean landing.
I grunted and she slipped another couple inches. At that point, we were far enough down to make out two small dots on the roof that I assumed were people. I started to angle toward another of the rooftops that wasn't as crowded, but just as we were about 50 feet up, Dante slipped too far and plummeted toward certain doom.
Back in town, at the Kinky Boarbatusk
Sharon's limp limbs trailed uselessly along the floor as her killer dragged her corpse into the Manager's office, where it was thrown haphazardly on top of Manager's likewise dead body.
"Dammit." Her murderer muttered as they stared at the long, slimy trail of metallic smelling blood snaking along the linoleum back to the front desk. "Why do people bleed so much?" They heaved a resigned sigh and rummaged around in the Janitor's closet for a mop. "Crap, where the hell is it?"
After finally finding the mop and cleaning up the bloody mess, they walked to the front of the store and flipped the sign around to Closed.
Weiss POV
I tried to keep my expression neutral and not give away the fact that inwardly, I was squealing and dancing around with joy. My partner and long time crush was sitting on my lap, and I had my arms around her! How often does that happen? I'll tell you. Not very.
"You okay back there, Weiss? You're squeezing me a bit." I jumped and loosened my arms.
"O-oh! Sorry. I'm fine, just thinking is all." She giggled and my heart fluttered happily.
"Okay, Weiss, just don't think too hard." Seems that she's forgiven me for earlier. I thought, relieved. Good. I don't think I could stand it if she was mad at me much longer.
"And don't overheat yourself!" Anna called over her shoulder teasingly. "Your cheeks look a bit red."
"Oh, shut up." I muttered, my mood spoiled. I leaned my head against Ruby's back and stared out the window, watching the buildings and people pass.
"What happened when you left?" Cali asked Yang.
"Wellll, to make a long story short, when I found my wayward sister, she was in the clutches of a certain masked and spandexed woman-"
"Sounds hot." Date interrupted with a smirk. "Like Catwoman." I stifled and laugh and a Blake comment.
"Get a boner, and I will skip the neutering and just kill you." Skye promised.
"Damn," Date sighed. "You reminded me you were there and whatever stirring there may or may not have been in my pants died." Skye growled.
"Maybe I'll just kill you and throw you out of the car." Date laughed.
"Good luck getting the right angle before I snap your neck." That quieted her for a moment. I craned my neck to see Yang's reaction, only to find her glaring back at them with a murderous expression.
"Interrupt me again and both of you will die when I fishtail your side of the car into a light pole." Anna gestured frantically out the windshield.
"The road, dammit, watch the road!" Yang turned back around.
"Like I was saying," She shot Date and Skye a look. "Spectra had her when I got there, so I attempted to save her."
"Damn near killed me doing it." Ruby muttered. Yang looked up in the rear view mirror.
"Was that a snarky comment I heard, sister dear?" Ruby shook her head quickly.
"A whaaaat? I didn't say anything! Please continue!" Yang snorted.
"S'what I thought. Anyway, Spectra escaped, we heard gunshots, then Date arrived, and we went to check it out. Then when we got there, we saw Spectra again, but this time she was doing something strange to Dante while Spencer watched. Then Dante started acting like an idiot-"
"Surprise, surprise." Anna muttered, then we all screamed when Yang swerved.
"Any more comments?" She asked casually, to which we all answered with frantic shaking of heads. She smiled. "Good. Well, then Spectra ran away again after turning Dante into some sort of super powered freak, then Dante ran away whistling Dixie-"
"Star Trek." Ruby whispered. I smacked her upside the head gently. Yang narrowed her eyes, but continued.
"And then we went back to the car." Cali nodded.
"Oh. What happened to Dante?" Yang shrugged.
"I didn't see her again until we reached the ship." Cali nodded.
"Okay." She looked back at Ruby. "What did Spectra wa-" There was a loud, heavy THUD and Yang slammed on the brakes. We all watched in horror as a girl with curly orange hair went rolling down the hood before flopping onto the tarmac.
All gazes turned to Yang, who fumbled with her seatbelt for a while before jumping out and running to the girl.
"Holy. . .shit." Anna whispered, opening the door and letting Cali out before following her. Skye groaned.
"Geez, another hold up." Date tapped her shoulder.
"Look, I'm sure your life has been barren of affection and you're compensating by being devoid of any sort of emotion and stuff, but can you please get the hell off my lap?" She got out of the car with a huff.
Ruby and I got out and we walked slowly over to where Yang knelt next to the girl, hands hovering like she was afraid to touch her.
"Don't!" Anna swatted her hands. "You're not supposed to move her! Or fucking hit her in the first place!" Yang glared at her.
"You idiots distracted me!" Ruby covered Cali's ears and glared at Yang and Anna.
"Hey," She growled forcefully. "Why don't you jerks think about Cali for a second?" Yang's shoulders slumped and Anna looked away.
"Sorry." They muttered. Cali smiled gratefully at Ruby, who patted her head. We turned back to the strange girl, and found Date crouched next to her, poking her cheek repeatedly. I repressed the urge to kick him.
"Damn. I think you killed her." No sooner than he spoke the words, her green eyes snapped open and he fell backwards. We all jumped back and screamed. She looked around at us curiously, not seeming hurt at all.
"Hello! My name is Penny!" We stared at her for a long moment, then sweatdropped. What the hell is she? Was what I'm sure we were all thinking.
