Cress looked heartbroken for a second as she stepped away from Gemini. "Alright." She mumbled and took the hand of the guy she had been flirting with. She glared at Tony like it was all his fault before turning away from them.
|
Gemini felt shattered. She reached one hand out. "Cress, I..." She paused, swallowed. "We can still be friends, right? I still really...want to be your friend..."
|
"I...yeah." Cress smiled at her. "But I'll get you on my side some day." She grinned and hugged Gemini. "I'm going to forget what just happened and miss this boy silly." She blushed at the boy who smiled at her.
|
Gemini sighed. "Okay. But don't leave with him, okay? You have to come back in a while and show me how to dance."
|
"I can do that now if you want." Cress smiled a little. "Come on sweetey I thought we where going to have good time." the guy frowned his grip tightening on her arm. "Yes we where past tense." Cress smiled at him sweetly. "Now I'm going to teach my friend how to dance." she heated her arm and he dropped it with a look of shock on his face. He quickly ran away "Pity I was hoping to take him home to."
|
Gemini tried not to laugh. "If he can't handle a strong woman, he would've bored you anyway." She said. Not many guys could handle a super-powered woman. "C'mon, show me how to dance!"
|
Cress pulled her to the dance floor. "Feel the beat let it guide your body and let loose." she started to dance.
Tony sighed and followed them inside standing nearby feeling kind of like a bodyguard for a star. |
Gemini did as she was instructed, though she felt like an idiot. It turned out she also looked like an idiot, and was terribly bad at dancing. "I don't think I'm doing this right."
|
"Stop worrying about right and wrong." Cress sighed and took her hands. "No one dances the same." She nodded to the crowd around them. "Just move you hips." She suggested.
|
Gemini's cheeks burned as she moved her hips. "I'm not comfortable with this..." She said.
|
Cress leaned closer. "Just focus on me. There's no one else here." she moved her hips as well a smile on her face. She lifted Gemini's hands and guided her threw a few of her steps.
Tony noticed all the stares the pair was getting and growled wishing he had back up should he need to teach a guy some manners. |
Gemini was unable to focus, however, with all the stares directed at them. "Cress I don't think I can do this." She glanced back at Tony.
|
"Oh." Cress dropped her hands. "Alright." she turned to a dark boy who was eyeing her. "I'll go dance with him. You can go back to Tony."
|
Gemini nearly cried. "I'm sorry. I really am. I just...I'm scared of all this...there's too many people watching. I..." She shook her head, hugging herself tightly as if that could shield her. This was all wrong. She wanted to have fun and be friends with Cress, but she kept messing it up. I'm useless...I should have stayed locked up all alone. "I can't breathe..." She said, just before bolting outside.
|
Tony rushed after her managing to keep pace. "Are you alright?" He asked. "Did she hurt you?"
Cress watched her go then glared at the crowd. "You ruined my good time." Her body erupted into flames and she began to attack the crowd ignoring the sprinklers. |
Gemini didn't stop running when she got outside. She kept running until Tony caught up. By that time, her ears and tail had escaped, and her eyes were glowing. "No, she didn't hurt me. I'll be fine. Just...just stay back."
|
"I'll stay right here." Tony put his hands up. "It's just you and me. No ones going to touch you while I'm here." He promised.
|
"Good." Gemini said, panting. "I'm pretty sure if anyone touched me right now I'd- agh!" She dropped to her knees. An ominous red-black glow enveloped her body. Breathing heavily, she managed to subdue it. "Oh, shit...I haven't felt it that strong in a long time..." She mumbled, after getting it under control.
|
"You good now?" Tony smiled then blinked as a fire truck and ambulance raced by them. "I'm going to regret going back around that corner." he groaned hitting his head on the wall. "We left her alone like idiots." More emergency vehicles raced by making Tony cringe.
|
Gemini flinched. "I messed things up, big time." She said, sighing. "We have to go back..."
|
"I'm sure it's not to bad." Tony turned the corner and stared at the pile of ashes that was the club. "She burnt down the whole thing." his mouth was opened in surprise. "Oh look a trail of dead burnt cops to follow her trail." he grimaced. "Aurora's going to kill herself when she learns of this."
|
Gemini had one hand over her nose and mouth, looking slightly green. "I'll convince her it was my fault. Let's find her before the police do." She said, making sure to cover her nose as she continued on.
|
Tony followed her stepping over things a slightly green look on his face. "God I how violent she could be." he jumped as a pillar of fire shot into the air. "I think we're going in the right way." he sighed. "are we sure we want to find her?"
|
Gemini was looking more ill by the moment. "No. But we have to." She said, moving forward faster now. The smell of burnt things made her reluctant to breathe too deeply, but she ran anyway.
|
Tony sighed and followed Gemini really hoping Steve would appear to help them. As they neared the source of the pillar of fire they saw Cress surrounded by police laughing as she destroyed them.
