An alley behind Caritas - Tuesday night

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

There was a flash of light and then Veronica found herself in the alley behind Caritas, Bel's hand still wrapped around her throat.

Remembering the self defense lesson he'd given her, she kicked out, aiming for his knee.


[ooc: locked to V, Bel & one other person that knows who they are. also, the fact that they were fighting is okay for broadcast, but not the actual content of the fight.]

Bel grunted as her foot connected solidly with his knee but kept his balance and his grip, squeezing her throat, enough to show he meant business, but not enough to cut off her air supply. "Well, that was convenient," he said with a grin.

"Go ahead and kill me," she gasped, struggling for breath. "Everyone saw us get kicked out of the club together."

[demonbelthazor]

"Tempting, tempting," Bel said. He let go of her neck and shoved her roughly against the wall of the alley, his arms on either side of her body.

Veronica reached up and rubbed her sore throat, glaring at him the whole time.

She took a moment to catch her breath before saying, "I seem to remember being told that you promised Phoebe you wouldn't try to hurt me again."

[demonbelthazor]

"But Phoebe, she hit me first!" Bel mock-whined.

Veronica rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I'm so sure that will make it all better. You really are an idiot, aren't you?"

[demonbelthazor]

"I'm not the idiot who thought that I was Angel. Why would I want to be with you when you're still in love with Logan?" he said dramatically.

"Shut up. I didn't even mean it. I was just trying to let Angel down gently."

[demonbelthazor]

"Then why did you tell me that Angel was right about Logan?" Bel smirked. "You're in love with him. Too bad he's got the hots for that new chick."

"My feelings for Logan are irrelevant and I really don't give a damn what little chippy he's banging these days."

[demonbelthazor]

"Fine, then you won't care if I tell him that you're in love with him."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"What makes you think he would listen to anything you said?"

Angel dropped down from the rooftop above (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/565015.html?thread=22407447#t22407447) and landed on two feet.

He quickly took in the situation. "Tell me you got whatever it was."

Logan swung the gun around and pointed it at the new arrival, then relaxed when he recognized Angel. "Hit him. Didn't kill him," Logan said grimly. He ran over to check on Veronica.

Having to actually worry about breaking your neck meant an inability to just leap off buildings. Therefore Callisto showed up a short while after Angel. "What happened?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel cocked his head, tasting the air. "That fire I smell? And how is she?"

[fh_jackass]

"Bel attacked her," Logan said, answering both questions. He set the gun down and checked Veronica over. "I think she's all right," he said. "She just fainted."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Belthazor" Callisto pinched the bridge of her nose. "Remind me again why we can't just kill him? It would save us a lot of annoyance."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Because torture's going higher up on the list of appropriate punishments," Angel replied.

[fh_jackass]

"Sounds like a plan to me," Logan said. He brushed a strand of blonde hair off Veronica's face and tucked it behind her ear. "Hey, Veronica, wanna go home?" She opened her eyes and looked at him, then nodded.

"I get dibs on the fireants and honey," Callisto said. "You guys need any help?"

[fh_jackass]

"I've got her," Logan said. He helped Veronica to her feet and picked up his gun. "No idea where Bel went, unfortunately."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"If he shimmered, could be anywhere," Angel said. "But we can keep an eye out."

[fh_jackass]

"Thanks," Logan said. "I'll get her back to the dorms." He lead a stunned Veronica back to his golf cart.

"So...know anywhere near here we could stash Bel if we find him?" Callisto asked.
