Evie ♥

@rculettex​ asked: Send “OOF” to pin my muse against the wall by ACCIDENT

Tara didn’t make a habit of heroics. She understood the fundamentals but her state of mind worked against her, after all her first concern was typically her own life. There were only two exceptions in the form of rage against a certain masked man and affection for a certain green skinned shifter. Nonetheless, just because she wasn’t a hero didn’t mean she had to be, by default, a villain. Instead, she tried not to be involved. She fought for her own survival and that was it. That was all it needed to be. No villaining, no heroing. Even when random people pinned you against the wall by tripping over- Tara didn’t even catch what tripped them. Just walking one moment, and the next being cornered. Her heart raced with permission, memories of being locked in like this before flashing through her mind. She felt rocks rising in her emotional pressure, her fear pushing her powers to protect her. So, Tara knocked her head against the brick behind her. She needed to shake this off. This girl was a clumsy fool, she didn’t need the attention of harming anyone. “Off.” She demanded, her tone producing more panic then she intended. Her hands churned into fists, fighting her own powers that screamed for protection in her panic. “You need to get off me now.” It was more for the girl’s sake then her own, really. She wasn’t that panicked. Not at all. Nope nope nope. 

Evangeline spotted the blonde down the street, just as Slade said she’d be. “Tara will speak to me and no will get hurt.” She said softly and her eyes lit up a moment. Then she started to walk towards her. Evangeline’s powers could be unpredictable, so specifying was a must in situations like this. She didn’t want to ask for rain and get a monsoon. She stayed alert, looking for what may be the cause for their meeting and was worried it wasn’t working. That was before someone knocked up a loose piece of cement, the tip of her shoes catching it and causing her to crash into the woman. Stupid Fate Powers.

 Evangeline noticed the fear and tremor of the ground below her. “I’m so sorry. it’s ok. You’re fine. Everything is fine. Just calm down.” She said softly. She pretended to rub her eyes so Tara wouldn’t one see her eyes glow as she used her power to diffuse the woman’s defensive. “I’m such a klutz sometimes. Are you hurt?” she asked genuinely, tucking a piece of dyed green behind her ear. It perfectly matched Garfield Logan’s…someone she idolized long before Slade got his claws into her.

Teddy didn’t know how this girl could sound so confident that they wouldn’t get in trouble, but he wished he had that kind of confidence, too. The Young Avengers had been scolded so many times by the Avengers that Teddy worried about the outcome of things more than he should’ve. “How do you know?” he asked, curious about her optimism. She offered to help him, and he nodded, despite being more than capable of throwing the guy over his shoulder and carrying him to the GCPD. “I can lift him, but if you could walk with us that’d be cool. He might try and pull something, you never know. Gotham is kinda crazy.”

“I just do. You’ve just gotta have faith you know?” she said vaguely with a shrug. “Yeah I can go with you no problem.” Evangeline nodded and turned her back to Teddy. She focused on the criminal on the floor and her eyes flashed green for a moment while she pretended to check the guy. “He will stay knocked out “ she said before standing back up with a smile. “Let’s go.” She smiled brightly.

          “Yeah it’s cool. You did?” He asked in surprise, a wide grin spreading across his features. “It looks good on you. Greens a good color. @fourleafedclover,” he repeated the handle, trying to think if he could remember it.” Raising his hand to his chin, he tapped on it as if the action would somehow help him think better. “Wait! You’re the girl who told me you were dying your hair green, right?! When I tried convincing Dick to do his.” Garfield watched as she pinched herself and reached out, hoping that she wouldn’t do it again. “You okay?” He asked, smile still plastered to his face. “Gar,” he nodded when she repeated it. “Everyone’s important so that can’t be right. Nice to meet ya, Evie. I’m Gar.” The shapeshifter extended his arms, hoping they could skip an awkward handshake and go straight to a hug.

“Yeah. Took awhile to find the right mix to get the green right.” She said to him with a chuckle. She’d been through everything from lime green to forest green before she finally got it down to a perfect shade match.  He remembered her and she nodded excitedly. “Yeah that was me! Oh uhm, yeah I’m fine. I was just making sure this was real. What are you doing in Gotham City?” she asked him. It didn’t seem like the kind of place a guy like him would be. Gotham sucked the life out of people. But Garfield was full of it.

     Evie leaving didn’t tear him apart. She was one of his closest friends, sure, and it had hurt him that there wasn’t as much as a goodbye note before she just…disappeared, but her leaving never did the real damage. It was like looking at an iceburg; everything was smooth sailing and his feelings towards her leaving might have been easily navigated around had she not forced him to come crashing into the floating ice. Everybody knew that the tip was nothing to fear, however, not when you remembered the monstrosity that lied beneath the surface. All of the pain and loss that he’d buried deep from his past encapsulated in a thick glacier, impermeable until that one hit that had sent everything crumbling. Stephanie had helped to put the pieces of Atticus back together but there were still times that he caught himself blaming Evie for everything, even though it wasn’t fair. It wasn’t until he had left Gotham himself for school that he understood how hard that goodbye would have been for her, when he caught himself ghosting on Stephanie just as Evangeline had to him. “For me?” he asked, his surprise obvious as he continued to hold onto her for just a moment longer. “Well, you found me…” he chuckled, shrugged shyly. Atticus didn’t see himself as the kind of guy anybody would come back for, but that only made him so much happier to hear that Evie had. “You’re staying?” his smile grew rapidly, stretching to a full grin. “I missed you too…this place is a little too greyscale for my liking without all of that hair” he teased. “You gotta tell me everything I missed”

Evangeline moved to hug Atticus again. Atticus was the only good thing in her life before she had left. Hell, he was still the only good thing in her life. She realized to get past what she done,she needed him. Not to run away from him. “Of course I came back for you. Why else would I return to this hell hole?” she muttered into his chest, tightening her arms around him. She couldn’t tell him yet though. She wanted to savour a few days before possibly losing the only person that mattered to her. “I am, speaking of which..Can I crash with you for a few days? I haven’t found a place yet. I can pay rent.” She offered. She grinned when he talked about her hair. She’d always dyed it crazy colors since they were kids. The green stayed after she found Garfield Logan online. He was the kind of person she wanted to be. Kind, Funny, generous…like Atticus. “You first. What’s the same? What’s different? I’m intruding on your life after all.”

.

         Garfield stopped in his tracks, right in front of a girl with the same green hair as him. “Nice hair.” He complimented, looking her over. Flashing one of his famous grins, his eyes moved over the petite woman. Green looked good on everyone in Gar’s opinion but this stranger was really making it work for her. She didn’t get drowned out by it like a lot of people who dyed their hair green did. It suited her almost the same way it suited him. “Yeah, that’s me. You can call me Gar though. Nobody really calls me Garfield.” The shapeshifter let out a laugh. “What’s your name?” 

“OH! you like it? I did it to look like you. like yours! to look like yours. I’m a really big fan. my handle is @fourleafedclover not that you’d ya know ever notice. Not that it’s a bad thing! You guys get hundreds of comments a second.” Evangeline rambled on and on . She couldn’t believe this was happening. She pinched her self just to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. ‘ow!’ she thought wincing. Okay definately not a dream then. “Gar okay right. I can do that. Oh I’m nobody important. But uhm, my name is Evie.”

“They’re tied up in the bathroom, so they can’t leave now. We’re like totally and completely cool.” // @rculettex​

“I don’t think we’re totally and completely cool, if I’m being honest. Tying someone up and imprisoning them will probably get us arrested.” The person she’d tied up was up to no good, but that didn’t mean they could lock him up. The cops in Gotham didn’t know about Teddy and what he was – they didn’t know he was a hero. “I should probably grab him and take him to the GCPD. That way he gets into trouble and we don’t.”

“Don’t worry about it. It will all work out...just...trust me on that.” she said not really wanting to say she’d used her power. for one, it was a weird thing to explain. and two, people tended to treat her differently when they found out. A girl who could bend destiny in her favor.. at will? It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out she’d be on everyone’s most wanted list. Hero and Villain alike. It was one of the reasons she left gotham originally. “Alright if you’re sure. Let me at least help you.”

     Atticus had grown used to the comments about how pale or Tim Burton-esque his appearance was over the years and usually it wasn’t something that bothered him. Usually, but not today. Maybe it was all in his head but it was beginning to feel a little like this place was draining the life out of him a little,  making him look even worse. He hadn’t noticed that he’d actually spoken his thoughts aloud until he’d thought he’d heard Evie’s voice. Maybe he really was going crazy, she hadn’t been in Gotham City for years. The tap to his shoulder felt pretty real, however, and as he turned around his face stretched into a grin so wide that his face would ache later. “Evie? What are you doing here!?” he practically leapt at her, his freaking out already forgotten as he pulled her into a tight hug. 

Evangeline let out a breath of relief. One she hadn’t even realized she was holding. She thought for sure Atticus would be upset at her for going ghost. And then to just pop back up after all this time. But she should have known better. Atticus was her best friend. No matter how much time and space was between them. he’d always be her Atti. “What am I doing here? Is that a joke? I’m here to see my favorite Victorian ghost boy.” she teased him hugging him back. He’d gotten taller since she’d last seen him. And his grip was more firm — for a bean pole anyway.  “Let’s not worry about the details. Just know that I’m back and I’m back to stay.” Evie smiled pulling away some, to be able to look at him. “I missed you.”

Evie could hear him freaking out from down the block and smiled. Well that didn’t take long. She thought to herself. She expected to spend at least a few days looking for him. But here he was, having a complete meltdown in the middle of the street. Typical Atticus. “You sure look like a living boy to me.” she said coming up from behind him and tapping his shoulder. “Don’t worry I’ll protect you.”

To say Evangeline was star struck would have been describing the situation nicely. There he was. Only a few feet in front of her. Garfield Logan. Evie had been obsessed with him for years, since one of the very first of his live streams. Not in a Joe from you way. More like an over eager fan. You know, legal stalking. She’d moved back to Gotham in hopes of starting over knowing Atticus was here. She hadn’t expected to see her idol there too. Nervously, she tugged at one of her boxed dyed strands, the same color as his, and walked over. “Uhm Hi...you’re Garfield Logan right?” she asked. She wanted to kick her self. YoU’rE gArFiElD LoGaN? Idiot. 

      Joon shook his head, a soft sigh leaving his parted lips. She deserved more, he wished he could give her it but he couldn’t - not with Neith on their scent or the school faculty looming over them. “Punish me how?” He questioned, his interest gained, his thoughts no longer on the issues at hand. 

Evie blanked. It was an empty threat, and she wasn’t sure how to back up her words now. She had no plan. “Well...I...can’t tell you.” she got out, with a overly confident nod. “If I told you, you could prepare yourself and this kind of torture is best effective as a surprise.” She leaned across the table, a mischievous smirk on her face. “Besides, someone could over heat my plans of all the things I’d do to you.” she teased.

     “You know it kind of ruins the whole loner vibe when everybody keeps trying to be in your space” Alexis huffed, gathering all of her papers and beginning to stuff them into her bag before standing up. “I’ll give you the spot for today, but this is the only spot on this campus that I can seem to focus enough to actually study, so I’m gonna need it tomorrow” she explained, barely looking at them before she knocked into the other’s shoulder, cursing under her breath as her bag fell and pages fell everywhere.

“oh im so sorry! I didn’t even see you there.” Evie apologized. She instantly was on the ground, trying her best to help the girl gather her things. She seemed to be having a bad day. “I think that’s everything. I’m so sorry.” she answered. “Are you okay?”

“I love your eyes. Has anyone ever told you that gorgeous?” Callie asked propping her kitten heeled feet up on the desk and making herself comfortable. “Bubble gum?” she offered handing a bright pink wrapper their way.  @uastart​

“Oh Hi Callie. Thank you.” Evie said, jumping a bit when the girl was suddenly next to her. She liked her, but sometime she could be a lot. Evie was a lot in an over excited little sister way. Callie was a lot in a main love interest in an anime kind of way. even her hair was pink. BUT she was fun and more important kind, so Evie smiled. “yea sure. Thanks.”

“Why do you want to know? So you can tell a professor and have me sat down for another psych eval?” Gwen snipped one hand on her hip as she took another sip of her water bottle. “Every one has dreams, and dreams change, for instance I wanted to have a unicorn growing up.” 

“For the last time that wasn’t me.” Evangeline sighed. “Perhaps someone else cares about you more than you think.” Evie sat down, facing Gwen She just wanted them to come to an understanding. “Come on Gwendolyn. Be real with me for a second?”
