"He just left!" Trini cried as she waved her hands.
"Chase took the Yorkes' time traveling device and was gone." Xavin nodded.
"Did he say-?" Karolina leaned forward.
"Nothing." Xavin shook his head. "Just looked at me with…I think regret. Apology. I don't think he's coming back."
"There's no way Chase would abandon us." Trini crossed her arms.
"Yeah, he's probably gonna come back with cool weapons or something." Molly agreed.
"Time machine?" Klara nervously played with her braid.
"What about Vic and Nico?" Karolina asked Xavin.
"You haven't checked in with them?" Xavin cocked a brow.
"We were supposed to check in with them?" Trini spat.
"Well, maybe if you wouldn't have been too busy with her, we wouldn't be worrying about them." Xavin glared at Trini. "We should be worrying about getting home, not picking up strays!"
"Xavin, if you had any concept of what this girl's been through…" Karolina started.
"They're arguing about me…" Klara tugged Trini's skirt.
"Uh, well…" Trini tipped her head to the side.
"I know!" Molly narrowed her eyes. "It's so awkward!"
"Oh! You're doing that thing I dislike!" Xavin pointed at her.
"I'm not doing anything." Karolina crossed her arms and turned her back to him.
"Crossing your arms and turning away doesn't mean I'm the one being unreasonable!" She pointed at her wife.
"I believe you'll find it does."
Xavin reached out and grabbed Karolina by the shoulders.
"You're the one who wanted to live in the past!" Xavin cried. "Everyone else-listen to me! Everyone else wants to go back!"
As Xavin was yelling, she was transforming into her female form.
"Stop grabbing me!" Karolina slapped her hands away.
"Stop making me angry!"
"Are they always like this?" Klara asked Trini.
"Not always…" Trini shook her head.
"Everything makes you angry! You're just in a bad mood with-." Karolina stopped upon realization "Xavin. Xavin, you just totally lost control." She smiled.
"Well, it hasn't been pleasant." Xavin admitted.
"Xavin, look at you!" Karolina squeaked.
"I simply wasn't concentrating…maintaining a false shape does take a measure of effort." She looked down at herself.
"Uh-huh." Karolina clasped her hands together. "Yeah."
"What has happened that is good?" Xavin questioned.
"Dude, you turned into a girl." Trini pointed out.
"That makes this the real you!" Molly smiled.
"I didn't realize that was in doubt." Xavin lowered her eyelids.
"Well, you're pretty pig-headed, but I gotta tell you…" Karolina grabbed Xavin's face with a blush. "You're beautiful when you're angry."
When the two kissed, Trini could tell from her peripheral vision that Klara was horrified. "No…" Klara whispered.
"Klara?" Trini turned.
"Yeah, they're wicked mushy-." Molly chuckled.
"This is wrong. You people…" Klara turned on her heel and ran off into the alleyway.
"Klara!"
Trini and Molly raced down the alley to get close to Klara.
"NO!" Klara screamed. She allowed the vines to explode from the ground and create a barrier between the three.
"Leave me be!" Klara ordered. "It was a mistake for me to go…I must go home!"
"But you hate it here, Klara!" Trini cried.
"I have been…ungrateful!" Klara insisted. "I have a duty to my husband."
"Not even." Molly denied.
"It is a sin!"
"It's not just a sin, honey. It's illegal!" Trini tried to push past the vines. "We just want to-."
"Those women…" Klara frowned. "Miss Dean, and the…negress. It's disgusting."
"Oh, and having an old guy do stuff to you is awesome?" Molly snapped.
"Molly…" Trini whispered as she looked down at the mutant.
"Molly, people like that are unnatural. They will lead you to a terrible end." Klara's voice cracked.
"They're our family." Trini corrected.
"We thought you'd understand that. We thought you'd be one of us." Molly growled as she grabbed Trini's hand and pulled her away from Klara's vines. "But you're just another grown up!"
"Okay, that's one way to take charge." Trini commented.
Later…
"The bank clerk said the Upward took Nico. Unconscious." Xavin reported.
"But they're good guys. At least…" Karolina bit her lip. "I mean, better than the Yorkes…or the Sinners, right?"
"They ain't sinners. But neither are they saints." Lillie crossed her arms. "Us as have to make a living have run a foul on them—and not come out alive."
"Nico's just a teenager!" Molly gasped.
"Too bad teenagers haven't been invented yet." Trini patted her head.
"Exactly, so we can't expect these guys to go easy." Victor agreed. "Everything's on hold until Nico gets back. Agreed?"
"The Arabs got ears on the street, even up on Fifth. I'll make sure they-."
"Get away from her!"
Lillie jumped at the voice from out the window.
The group looked out the window to see a white haired woman in an ankle long night gown. Two men were about to attack each other over her.
"She's mine!"
"Touch a hair on her and you'll be playnik that fiddle vit stumps!"
"Are they fighting over that girl?" Molly questioned.
"They're out of their minds." Victor growled. "She belongs with me."
He suddenly jumped out of the window, roaring; "I'm coming! Don't be afraid my love!"
"Victor!" Xavin reached out for him.
"Victor's kind of a ho-bag lately." Molly insulted.
"He's being mind controlled." Trini whispered. "She's controlling the men!"
"The Sinners! They're here!" Lillie cried as she ran out of the room.
Trini and Lillie both raced downstairs and outside the apartment to see a group of men attacking each other. Victor was having the upper hand with his powers.
"Vic!" Trini called as she raced towards him.
"Victor!" Lillie jumped on the heads of the other men.
Before anyone knew it, a fight broke out throughout the open area in Camelot. People were thrown, killed, and beaten to a pummel. Trini shoved men out of the way to get to Victor, who was racing towards the white haired woman. Trini, since she realized she was next to the girl, swung and clocked her clean in the jaw. She fell to the floor unconscious. She then turned to Victor, who was fighting off men trying to tackle him to the ground.
"Victor!" Trini ran towards him and punched the man who was about to tackle Victor. "What the hell is going on!"
"I don't know, but this is-."
"Victor!" Lillie cried from across the fight.
"You're girlfriend's calling you." Trini knocked another man down.
"She's not my-."
"You two made out." Trini smirked as she pressed his back to Victor's.
"How do you-?"
"I know everything, remember?" She joked as she swung once more.
"VICTOR!" Lillie repeated as she fought her way through.
"Lillie!" Victor motioned, but was suddenly pulled into the air.
"Vic!" Trini's wings ripped from her back as she flew after him.
"Lillie is my girl, Spaniard!" Tristan claimed as he pulled his fist up.
"Let go of him, Dickwad!" Trini flew up and slammed her fist into his jaw. Victor flew from Tristan's hand onto the rooftop and slammed into a large object.
"Ow! What is-?"
Trini gasped. In front of them was a golden coated bomb that seemed to be going off in exactly twenty-six seconds. "Holy…" She was suddenly tackled onto the rooftop with Victor.
"I'll kill you before I let you take her away from me!" Tristan threatened.
Victor glanced at Trini, who was freaking out as bad a Victor was.
"Y-You wanna kill me?" Victor glanced back at the bomb. "You better do it quick."
I keep updating like crazy. I feel like nobody is reading my stories :(
