The Boardwalk | Tuesday Afternoon

Octavia was gone.

Bellamy had gotten in very late last night after another futile search for Clarke. It was like she'd disappeared without a trace. The group hadn't yet ventured into Grounder territory but after the latest developments, that was going to be Bellamy's first stop. They'd taken Clarke and now they had his sister.

With fury in his eyes and tension in the lines of his body, he'd gathered a small group (including Finn), grabbed a gun and led them out of camp and into the forest. They needed a tracker and even though Bellamy didn't like the guy, Finn was the best they had. He wasn't going to be going out of his way to help the guy. Bellamy's mind was strictly on Octavia.

His sister, his responsibility.

Even Raven blaming him for the lives lost on the Ark wasn't going to touch him. Not now. She could whine and cry to someone else about how terrible a person he was. Maybe Finn could hold her tenderly and let her cry on his shoulder.

Bellamy had other things to do.

They were stepping silently, boots imprinting in the soft dirt as they went. Bellamy kept his eyes on Finn's back, gun held at the ready. The closer they got to Grounder territory, the angrier Bellamy got. He'd kill them all. Every single one of them.

Finn held a hand to stop the group, listening for something faint in the distance. Bellamy stepped forward, gun up and took the lead. There was something hissing behind a large tree. Without thinking about the fact that it could be a trap, Bellamy lunged around the tree and fell right into a portal.

He heard Finn shout and then -- nothing.

Bellamy whipped around, expecting to see Finn behind him, ready with a lecture on being more careful but there was nothing. He was alone. Alone and in a completely different place. There weren't any trees surrounding him, no dirt beneath his boots. He still had his gun and he raised it defensively, not sure what the hell kind of trick this was.

Bellamy knew there were parts of Earth they hadn't yet explored but this was impossible. There were buildings in the distance, well kept and bright. They looked lived in. It was hotter here than it had been just a minute ago and Bellamy felt perspiration slide into his eyes.

A noise caught his attention and Bellamy turned, eyes settling on the ocean nearby. He'd heard about these on the Ark, even seen the massive blue masses from space but to be this close to one? Impossible. There was no way.

Where the hell was he?

[ Open, of course. Bellamy's on the boardwalk, confused as hell and holding a gun. Please note: he most likely won't give the gun up but he does know how to handle it and might take you as a threat at first. He's not going to shoot anyone. ]

Apparently it was a day for attractive Australians grumpy and prone to violence people on the Boardwalk, though any confusion on Cara's part was on why she was wandering down here, when she could be relaxing in the Onsen.

"You supposed to have that thing out here?" If he wasn't maybe she could watch the troopers stun him, or hit him herself. That's be almost as good as an Onsen visit.

Cara cocked her head to one side and raised her eyebrows. "Keep pointing it at me and I might," she said lazily, hands still away from her agiels.

For the moment.
wrongkindofsith: (Oh no you didn't)

[personal profile] wrongkindofsith 2015-07-21 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, you won't," Cara said, sounding almost bored. "If you murder me in the street, I can't answer any of your questions."

Don't make her hit you Bellamy, it'd be a shame to bruise that pretty face on your first day.
wrongkindofsith: (Not actually listening to a word you say)

[personal profile] wrongkindofsith 2015-07-21 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"No," Cara replied evenly. "Why should I when you haven't even said please?"

'Because I've got a gun pointed at you' was not a correct answer.

It's almost like people pointing weapons at her and yelling made Cara disinclined to be helpful.

"Are you actually under the impression I'm the least bit afraid of you?" she asked, because fury was something she knew how to work with. She took a single, careful step forward, not directly towards Bellamy, but at an angle, so he'd have to move if he wanted to keep the gun on her.

Cara kept moving, not quickly, not coming any closer, just steady, angled steps to slowly circle around him. "You're not in trouble." He'd know when she was trouble instead of just annoyed and stubborn enough to play chicken with guns. "Yet. But you're not making a very good impression."

"Very far from home." Because he wasn't getting actual, helpful answers until there wasn't a gun pointing at her. "Because those questions mean nothing to me."

Instead of stopping, she sped up. Not suddenly, not much, just enough to be noticeable.

"I'd love nothing more," Cara told him, sincerely. "But you might run into one of the students."

While she mightn't care overly much if some idiot decided to try threatening her, she had responsibilities to them.

Without missing a beat, she spun on her heel, and started sprinting towards him at the opposite angle to the one she'd been moving in. With luck, she'd close the distance before he compensated for her new trajectory. If not...she'd deal with it, wouldn't be the first time.
wrongkindofsith: (Strike a pose)

Well, maybe if he hadn't pointed a gun at the very first person he'd met and told her that he was going to shoot her she wouldn't be attacking him? In the language of the aggrieved younger sibling, he'd started it.

Him using the rifle as a makeshift club was good in that no one was getting shot, not great in that it was a much bigger thing to try to dodge. She could feel it graze her cheek as she twisted her head to the side.

Using her right hand to try to grab the rifle's muzzle and get it pointed towards the ground, she drew an agiel with her left and jabbed it towards his shoulder.

Cara wasn't trying to kill, or even overly injure him, that was downright civil.

She kept her grip on the gun, letting the punch connect, but turning her head with it to lessen the force of the blow. Then, while their arms and upper bodies were still basically a tangled mess, she brought her knee up with all of her strength behind it, aiming for squarely between his legs.

Maybe not too civil.

Washington caught sight of the gun before he registered the kid holding it. Because that is what happens when you're a Freelancer. Other side effects included death and paranoia.

Neither of which applied to Wash, thanks. Neither.

And if there was one day he was annoyed that he hadn't worn his armor, it was today. But that didn't stop him from taking his time to flank the kid. "I'm going to need you to drop that."

Oh, look - something interesting was happening! And Bob, being perpetually bored, just had to check it out.

He cocked his head and watched for a moment, then raised an eyebrow. "Is someone having a bad day?"

That was a pretty big maybe there, Bellamy. If she'd been trying to kill you, you'd already be outnumbered.

After Bellamy's elbow connected, Cara hissed softly, her now split lip stinging. Without loosening her grip, she shifted from pulling on the gun to pushing on it, moving to headbutt Bellamy at the same time.

"Agent Washington," he replied, trying very hard not to sigh that he was dealing with someone who didn't really know what he was doing with that gun. "You're on Earth, year 2015."

Wash adjusted his stance, staying still to wait for the right moment to take the damn rifle.
