Freelance Police HQ, Sunday

[survivesplague.livejournal.com]

Kyle was standing outside of the HQ today, surrounded by gremlin limbs and a sign saying "NEED GREMLIN HELP? JUST SCREAM!"

He didn't expect anyone to read, the sign, of course. And he also didn't expect a bunch of gremlins jumping off the roof onto him. Kyle only had a brief moment to react, so he used the Force to increase his speed, pull the gremlins toward him, and then dive backwards. Some of the gremlins hit him hard, making him drop his lightsaber and clinging to him with claws and teeth. Most of them hit the ground with a satisfying splat. It was a mostly successful strategy. A flurry of punches took the hangers-on down before Kyle called his saber to him before checking on the gremlins who survived the splat.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Barney was certainly screaming as he ran the short length of Apocalypse between number 18 and Freelance Police Headquarters. Never mind that the gremlin had not been stupid enough to follow Barney out of the house.

Wasn't Kyle lucky? Someone was following the instructions on his sign!

Kyle was watching the complete lack of a chase as Barney approached. "Having gremlin problems?" he asked.

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

"No no no, I am having monster problems," Barney told him, chest heaving as he ran closer, intending to put Kyle between the possible gremlins on his heels. "These guys aren't about to let me off with a sing-a-long or a cooking special with watermelons and sledgehammers!"

[survivesplague.livejournal.com]

"What..." Kyle paused. "Watermelons and sledgehammers?"

He shook his head. "What guys? Nothing was chasing you."

"Wha--?" Barney's head whipped around and he let out a relieved breath and fixed his jacket and tie. Crisis mostly averted.

"Right, of course...they're back at the house, I was just hurrying to find a weapon so I could take care of the situation," Barney covered, suddenly really worried about his stuff. They'd better not throw anything at the stormtrooper.

"You don't keep any weapons in the house?" Kyle checked.

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Barney raised an eyebrow at this guy. "Weapons? You mean other than amazingly stupid hats and a boat in the basement?"

Seriously, when had the house turned into a sausagefest of weird?

[survivesplague.livejournal.com]

"That would be the idea, yeah," Kyle said. "So what you're saying is that you need help."

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

"Yes, man! Keep up!" Barney complained loudly. He glanced down at the gremlin parts littering the ground. "You won't even need my help, I bet!" Which was good, because Barney wasn't of much use against things that weren't loose women or attorneys.

"I can pretty much guarantee that," Kyle said, pulling his lightsaber off his belt and igniting it. "Where do you live?"

Barney tottered backward, eyes going wide in awe of the awesome of this sword. "Holy glowing sword, Rat-man! Number 18!" He pointed in the direction he'd ran, really wanting to get his hands on that sword. "Think I could hold that?"

[survivesplague.livejournal.com]

"Probably not," Kyle said, taking a look at the house a couple buildings down. "I wouldn't want you to accidentally chop off anyone's arm. Is there anyone else in the house right now?"

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

"Nah, unless you're counting virginal employees," Barney considered aloud, disappointed he didn't get to play with the glowy sword. Marshall would've been so jealous.

"I am," Kyle said. "They might be in trouble. You coming with or do you want to lock yourself inside the HQ away from any gremlins?"

Assuming there weren't any that hid inside while Kyle was keeping the street clear.

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

"You know, I think the HQ sounds like just the place to secure on my end," Barney decided, like a guy who was no good in a fight.

[survivesplague.livejournal.com]

"Go inside, lock the door, and hope Sam and Max don't stop by and try to shoot you," Kyle ordered as he started to head down the street. "I'll only be a few minutes."

[survivesplague.livejournal.com]

Kyle returned (http://makesfaces.livejournal.com/2884.html?thread=5188#t5188) after a couple minutes. "Gremlin's dead. Your house is safe."

Most of the rest of the gremlins were gunned down with surprising accuracy by the rabbity thing hanging out of the window.

"Oh, come ON!!!" Max yelled at Kyle. "You mean I didn't even hit you ONCE?!?!"

[survivesplague.livejournal.com]

"If you had come close, I probably would have blocked it anyway," Kyle pointed out.

[maxnotsam.livejournal.com]

"SPOILSPORT!!!" Max shouted grumpily.

And then he fired randomly at the street in frustration. One or two of his bullets even hit some more gremlins.

"Thanks for helping," Kyle called back.
