OOM: Bart and Umbeka!

"Sorry, buddy, looks like I won't be needing that coat after all."

Jenny flashes the bewildered man behind the counter a bright grin as she finally walks into the outer clothing store in Umbeka's spaceport. It only took a little more than a week, but if you ask her, it's totally been worth it.

Just look at the really cute guy she's dragging in behind her!

"Going to try a different form of fun instead," she continues. "Those hot springs that sign outside was bragging about! Where are they?"

He points in some vague direction that's good enough for Jenny. Still holding tightly on to Bart's hand, she walks back out the door and in to the busy space station.

Welcome to another planet, Bart!

"I can do that."

Pulling himself off the bed to totter on one foot because he is not crawling before absolutely necessary, thank you. Hopping is less demeaning.

"Let's get out of here before the rhino guys get back."

:D?

"Rhino what? Oh! You mean the Judoon," Jenny says, getting off the bed and slinging one of his arms around her shoulder. He can hop better if he had help.

"They're police. Universal police. Don't know what they want with you, but I think it has something to do with your speed. I broke into Umbeka's computer system while trying to find a way to get to you."

Everyone always wants him for his speed, and not his rapier-sharp wit or sparkling conversational skills. ._.

"Find out anything interesting?"

Besides... general intent and name, that is.

Shrug.

"You're to be transferred to a meta-human prison cell on Desparon Nine?"

That's totally interesting!

...

So that would be a couple extra-fast hops. To get out of there faster.

Hey, keep up! Not all of us can hop at super speed!

"It's totally okay," Jenny assures him when they reach the vent. She pats a gun tucked into the waist of her trousers. "I'm so not going to let them take you."

blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 12:44 am (UTC)

They're at the vent, anyway, so the hopping can cease. Now they just get to figure out how to get him down in there without landing on his ankle!

"I just," insert flippant tone here, "don't plan to do the lab rat thing again, let alone another planet."

Especially one with a name like 'Desparon'.

"I won't let you," she answers softly, in a more caring tone than she's ever used before. There's a look to match in her blue eyes when she strokes his cheek.

It's gone in a second, replaced by a grin of excitement. "I'll go down first! And then help you down. I'm strong enough. We're not that far from the docking bay, so it won't be long, I swear."

Grin.

"Then what're we waiting for?"

Time to get this show on the road!

Shrug!

"Don't know!" Jenny winks at him before disappearing down the hole. The tip of her head sticks out and she holds out arms. "Ready?"

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 01:00 am (UTC)

"Ready."

More or less.

At any rate, he lowers himself down, legs flailing slightly in an attempt to find where Jenny is without hitting her, because he is not jumping like this.

Jenny's hands grasp his hips and she helps him downward carefully. Despite her size, she is quite song. It's the supersoldier in her.

"There," she says when he's inside the vent system too. "All good?"

blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 01:10 am (UTC)

Thumbs up.

"Lead the way."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 01:13 am (UTC)

Will do!

Bart's backpack gets slung back over Jenny's shoulder before she gets down on her hands and knees. She glances back to make sure he's following suit (and not gawking at her instead).

"I'd give us about a five minute head start," she states as the vent begins to vibrate with movement from up above. "Or less! Let's go!"

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 01:22 am (UTC)

He would not waste precious time gawking at her when they could be escaping. The very idea!

Admiring the view a bit, maybe, but he's moving at the same time, so that's okay!

"Great guessing there."

But it's affectionate, filling-up-the-silence irony.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 01:30 am (UTC)

It's a filling-up-the-silence statement that seems to come a couple of seconds too late. Jenny giggles, not at all caring about keeping silent.

He's good at multitasking, isn't he?

"Come on, Speedy. Let's get you someplace where you can look at me without having to worry about near or sudden capture."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 01:33 am (UTC)

Bart totally approves of this plan.

"How much farther?"

This is not the same as 'Are we there yet?', don't be silly.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 01:42 am (UTC)

It so is!

"I don't think too far," she muses as they turn left within the vent shafts. "We should just have--"

SUDDEN LOUD SOUNDS THAT SOUND LIKE LASERS ARE NOT GOOD.

blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 01:46 am (UTC)

NEITHER IS THAT FEELING NEAR HIS LEFT FOOT OF NEARLY BEING BURNT.

"I hope," he says, dragging his foot in close because he really likes that foot, "that means 'really soon'."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 01:57 am (UTC)

"Yeah, um, c'mon."

Nearly being hit with a laser bolt herself isn't helping Jenny's mood much, either.

blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 02:04 am (UTC)

Or those stomping sounds from Above, probably.

Bart's reeeeeally grateful the Judoon are giant and can't fit in these vents.

~~Are they there yet?~~

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 02:08 am (UTC)

There! That's the vent she had tagged.

Grinning, Jenny turns around to look at Bart. "Stay here. I'm going to go ahead and make sure the coast is clear."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 02:10 am (UTC)

"Good luck."

Slightly worried.

Since he can't go rescue her so well if need be.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 02:29 am (UTC)

Awwwww.

She smiles a smile that isn't reassuring at all. It's completely and utterly reckless and would quite possibly give her Dad a heart attack...or two.

"Thanks!"

And then she's repeating the same actions from earlier, falling on her back and kicking open the grate. For a few moments after, Jenny ducks for cover from whatever may occur. When nothing happens, she sticks her head out. There are Judoon, yes, but they're preoccupied with something else. Carefully and quietly, she climbs out and leans back in to offer Bart a hand.

"C'mon!"

blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 07:47 pm (UTC)

~~He's too old for this stuff. D:~~

He scrambles forward as quietly as possible, grabbing her hand and using the unsprained foot to help push himself up.

ALMOST THERE ~~right?~~
