Femme Fetal (The Destroyer)

Kayden wasn’t shocked by the blonds reply. Sometimes you got people that gave you an honest answer. Other times you got the people that played along and then you got those people that want nothing to do with you. It was really her loss. Turning to see who the blond was pointing too. Kayden couldn’t help but smile. She didn’t care about the guy that was at the table. No, who she was interested in was the brunette. If she wasn’t mistaken that was the women her boss was after. The one that Syria was having ‘trouble’ kidnapping. Yet, hearing the pride in the blond’s voice, Kayden knew what she had to do, and that was play it cool while getting some intel. “Hmm… your girlfriend is pretty cute. So, how long have you two been?” She asked as she looked at the blond.

Rory beamed with affection, biting her lip just to keep the grin at bay. It was getting ridiculous, how much she loved her. Her lip popped free and she tore her eyes away from Sawyer, fixing them on Kayden instead. “She’s beautiful,” Rory corrected, as if cute was somehow an insult. Her cheeks flushed at the corniness, but she couldn’t take it back; not when it was true. “Lord knows why she settled for me,” she joked, brushing the hair from her face. “My money’s on the boobs. Gotta love that good Earth cleavage.”

Chuckling to herself, her gaze found it’s way back to Sawyer once more and settled there. “I don’t know,” she answered honestly. “It’s kinda new but kinda not. We met each other last year, and it just sort of felt right…. It’s always felt right with her.”

Kayden held up her hands in mock surrender. “My bad, she is beautiful and yours.” Trying hard not to roll her eyes at the blond. The other woman was head over heels for the brunette. Which Kayden didn’t care about. It just gave her a challenge, one she would worry about later. She went from staring at the brunette to looking at the blond. Her eyes traveled to the other woman’s chest. “Well, you do have a nice rack. But I am sure that there is more to you then... how did you put it? Good earth cleavage.”

“Some people do, and the people that use it are either really drunk; Which I am not, extremely cocky; I can be at times, or they are trying to get inside your mind; which is a very good possibility I am.” She said with a smirk as she looked over at the male sitting next to her. Kayden was good at reading others. It’s something she prided herself on. Even though she was drinking and with most people, their good judgment went with each drink they had. But, that rarely happened to her. Kayden would still able to tell what someone was after. Yes, the alcohol sometimes affected her judgment. She wasn’t perfected. But, no one else had to know that. Not if you know how to play the game.

Kayden watched as the guy orders his drink.  Besides him having a really nice head of hair he did seem confident. Confidence was something that Kayden had respect. Even though she found that when someone was overly confident they were hiding something. Yet, this guys wasn’t. Kayden let herself look him over, to see if she could spot anything that was off. “Let me guess, could it be; leave me alone or get lost?” She asked before she took another sip of her drink.

Cameron took in her words and was surprised that she hadn’t reacted in anger or even annoyance. There weren’t many people that he’d come across that seemed to spell things out the way that she did, and though he’d just met her, he had a feeling that they’d be able to help each other out. He wanted in on whatever was going on in New York, and he was positive she was on the inside. Nothing that big went down without a lot of money flying around, and Cameron was looking to find a way to his share. Seeing how methodical she was is casual conversation gave him great hope to how she was in business. “No, I’m an Aquarius,” he offered up with a little humor as he became more interested in their conversation. “Finding what you’re looking for in my mind?” He took a drink of his beer and set it down on the bar in front of him. He didn’t really care for the taste, but though he’d never admit it, he liked to fit in. “It can be a pretty scary place in there.”

“Aquarius... well, I am a Scorpio. Which makes us both water signs.” Kayden said with a hint of amusement in her voice. She had to admit that she didn’t expect that kind of reply. This guy was pretty interesting. “Hmm... can’t say I have. Not yet anyway.” Before taking a drink from her glass, Kayden laughed. “Trust me anyone’s mind can be a scary place, mine included.” Taking a drink as she took a quick glance around the bar. Checking to see if there was anyone worth recruiting or kidnapping. But so far there only seemed to drunks worthy of kidnapping. Kayden looked back at the guy sitting next to her. “So, what makes your mind a pretty scary place? Are you secretly a brony Mr. Aquarius?” Kayden asked with a hint of teasing in her voice.

Smirking a little at the woman’s reply, Kayden could tell that this one would be fun to play with. “I have to admit that it isn’t my best line. But, sometimes the classics work.” Still smiling as she took another sip of her drink. “correct me if I am wrong but before you said that it feels like you live here. Now that could mean only two things; one you are an alcoholic and come here twenty-four seven,” Kayden looked the woman over. Taking in her appearance. “Which I highly doubt that. Or two, you work here. And if that’s the case why are you still here. I know this place has great drinks and food. But I am sure you’d rather be somewhere else right now.” Paused for a moment and looked the other women in the eyes. Lening a little closer but, not close enough to invade her personal space. “Unless that place doesn’t feel like it used too.” Kayden watched the other woman for a reaction. Now Kayden normally doesn’t care about anyone’s personal issues. But, there was something else about this woman telling her that she could use her. Besides her initial idea of fun. All she had to do was play her cards right. “If you want… you could drown your sorrows. I promise to make sure you get home safely.”

Aspen was a naturally skeptic person (despite believing in aliens and Bigfoot, that is) so of course some random girl in a bar promising to make sure she gets home safely doesn’t sit well with her at least initially. It’s already a little uncomfortable to see how well she can read people, namely her. But Aspen is also unbelievably tired. She’s in desperate need of unwinding and why not here in the bar with a stranger? She’d just said she practically lived there anyway. “First things first - not an alcoholic,” she said, smiling. “I’m a bartender here. Most people wouldn’t think it to look at me unless they frequented this place, which I’m guessing you don’t… anyway, don’t we all need a night or two to let loose? Or at least loosen up a little?” She raised her eyebrows and took a long slip from her glass. Her brow furrowed curiously after that as she regarded the other woman. “What’s your name?” she asked.

Smiling brightly as the other woman informed her that she does indeed work here. Kayden loved being right, it made her very happy. Though Kayden knows that she still needs to keep her head in the game. “That is a good thing. Alcoholism ruined one of my uncle's life.” Pausing for a moment to take a drink before continuing. “If I remember what I was told, he was kicked out of the family for it.” Kayden shrug after admitting that. “Not that it matters. Sometimes those things happen in families.” She couldn’t help but glance over at the other woman once she was told that she worked here. “Hmm... you are right you don’t like much like a bartender. No, offense but you look a little young to be a bartender.” Kayden laughed a little, “But then looking younger then your age is a good thing. And I’ve only come in here once or twice. Probably oo the nights you have off.”  Nodding her head in agreement.  “That’s kind of why I offered you a ride home; if you want one. You do look like you need a night or two to loosen up.” Kayden moved a few stans of hair out of her face. “Hmmm... I assume that you could just ask a co-worker to give you a left home. But, how about we play a game of twenty questions, you can have your night to loosen up, and I get to know a pretty face.” Snapping her fingers, “I knew I was forgetting something! My name is Kayden...would you like to know my middle and last name too?” Kayden asks with a sly smile playing on her lips.

Kayden was sitting at the bar smalling as she sipped on her drink. These past six months have been pretty good to her. Devone has decided to teach her a few things about cybernetics and biocybernetics. Of course, she is a quick study. So, taking what he has shown her and putting it to the test by creating a few new creatures for the rangers to play with. Has proven to Devone that he is right in trusting her more than his own daughter. The next sip of her drink tastes a bit sour as she thinks of that girl. The monsters Syria has been creating seem to be lacking. It’s like she isn’t even trying, and whenever that girl fails. It doesn’t end well for her. There is just something off about that girl. She can feel the hatred and anger raiding off of Devone everytime they are in a room together. Syria has so much potential and she is wasting it. Oh, well Syria’s loss is her gain. Kayden wonders how long it will take for her to realize she has been replaced. By a human no less. 

Smiling as she sets her glass down. She wonders how long it will take before Devone has earth at his mercy. Yes, these six months have been pretty good. Even though they have taken a few hits here and there. But, everything feels like it is slowly falling into place for them. She knows Devone is planning something big. But, until he calls her she might as well have some fun. Looking over at the bar stool next to her. Kayden smiles brightly “Hey, there stranger. You come here often?”

“Do people actually use that line?” Cameron asked as he turned on his bar stool to face the brunette who’d spoken to him. If he’d done his research right, and he was positive that he had, this was exactly the person he’d shown up in hopes of finding. Not wanting to tip his hand and let her knew what he was up to, he turned his attention to the bartender and waved him down like he’d done it a thousand times before. Getting away with things, in this case underage drinking, was all about confidence, and he had that in spades. Act like you belong, and people thought you did. “Gimme whatever’s on tap,” he told the guy before turning back to the girl. Just looking at her, it was hard to believe she was the same person responsible for the city wide blackout six months ago. She seemed so normal. It was sort of blowing his mind. “You should ask me my sign next.”

“Some people do, and the people that use it are either really drunk; Which I am not, extremely cocky; I can be at times, or they are trying to get inside your mind; which is a very good possibility I am.” She said with a smirk as she looked over at the male sitting next to her.

Even in the dim lighting of the bar, Rory’s eyes were sparkling bright and free. “Three, please!” She held up three fingers while smiling and pulling several bills from her bra. Buying drinks was a waste of money on her part, but it wasn’t about the alcohol (she’d say)—it was about the experience. And tonight, well, tonight wasn’t anything special, but hey, Devone wasn’t attacking the city for once, and that was always worth celebrating. Folding her hands, Rory leaned against the counter, prepared to wait for her drinks, but turned when someone new addressed her.

“Hey,” she greeted, lips twitching and a hint of laughter in her voice. She was only mildly surprised that this had happened. She’d played this game before. She was Queen of this game before, but things were different now. The other woman was attractive, no doubt, and maybe several months ago, she would have taken the bait—leaped at it even—but that’s not who she wanted to be anymore. Still, it was flattering. The game was just over; she had retired. “I do, actually. With my brother and best friend mostly, but tonight—” she shifted her body and pointed at Sawyer who was sitting with Reese several tables away. “I’m with her.” Just saying it made her chest swell with pride.

Kayden wasn’t shocked by the blonds reply. Sometimes you got people that gave you an honest answer. Other times you got the people that played along and then you got those people that want nothing to do with you. It was really her loss. Turning to see who the blond was pointing too.

It’s only a couple of hours of running the bar and keeping the rowdier patrons under control, and with the early hour she knows she should head back to her dorm to get some sleep, but instead Aspen stays, ordering herself a strong drink. Anything to leave her with a buzz pleasant enough to soften her rough edges but not heavy enough to keep her from calling a cab back to campus after last call. The first sip burns the back of her throat, making her wince. The next few burn a little less. And the warmth that starts in her belly and works its way outward feels all the more welcome in lieu of actual responsibility.

A voice beside her speaks up, and she blinks before glancing off to the side, taking in the brunette beside her. It takes her a moment to answer as something peculiar settles within her. She can’t pinpoint the feeling or what it means, only that it leaves her minutely unsettled. The tequila makes her speak though. “Sometimes I feel like I live in this joint,” she admits, huffing out a chuckle before she raises a brow at the girl. “Does that line actually work on people?”

Smirking a little at the woman’s reply, Kayden could tell that this one would be fun to play with. “I have to admit that it isn’t my best line.

Patience was one thing Evie had never been too skilled in, not when it came to vengeance, to people who wronged her, and Devone happened to be number one on that list. She’d spent countless days training for the day to finally take him down but she’d grown to realize she couldn’t do it alone. She worked better in the dark, in the shadows, and her job would be much easier with a distraction. That was where she needed the Power Rangers, Devone was so focused on them that she knew it’d be his downfall one of these days. If she could wait that long was the question. 

With Arlo pretty much gone off the grid, she’d started coming above ground more hoping to overhear something useful in her cause. Working undercover underground only got her so far. That’s how she ended up here, a place she would normally not step foot inside. There were too many people, too many drunks, and neither appealed to her. Nursing her drink, she glanced over when she heard someone speak to her. What was it with the people on this planet and small talk? “No,” she replied, before taking another drink. She wasn’t looking to participate in conversation but knew better than to judge on appearances, maybe this girl knew something useful. “Places like this aren’t usually my scene.”

Tilting her head to one side as she looked at the woman sitting next to her. She didn’t know many people that would come to a place that wasn’t really their scene. Then again who was she to judge? Kayden sometime found herself at the place wouldn’t goto. “Well, then why are you here? Are you stuck babysitting one of these morons?” She asked as she jester at some of the drunks. “Or are you here looking for some... Oh, how should I put this... entertainment?” Kayden took a drink as she waited for an answer. Yes, the woman next to her was attractive, really attractive. She wondered what kind of things was this other woman into. Kayden’s curiosity sometimes got the better of her. But, how can one not be curious about someone sitting in a place that wasn’t their scene?
