easy does it | mouse & annie [games #003]

[She’s definitely not kidding. Annie’s usually pretty on edge—but this is taking it to a level he hasn’t seen before. He lifts the gun and opens his hands by way of disarming himself.] It’s okay—relax, love. Anyone comes by, I’ll tell ‘em you’re already killed, and I’m just takin’ you in. 

[As he says it, he realizes he probably won’t take her in at all. Eh. It’s not like Calyset’s standing is particularly threatening, he thinks uncharitably, before trying to hide how proud he is when he grins and asks:] You really shot someone, though?

[Oh thank god. Annie visibly wilts with relief, her shoulders dropping, as he opens his hands and promises he won’t shoot her. Actually, getting taken prisoner by Mouse is probably ideal. Then she won’t actually have to compete, nobody can shoot her because she’s already in Torren custody, and she can just sort of... wait it out. She stammers a thank you, clutching her pistol - not like you hold a weapon, but like you hold a teddy bear after a bad dream.] 

The mission debriefing had been enough to set some sort of fear in Bailee, but, she had proven enough maturity to be in the field by herself, and with her new ability having had quite the grasp on her, she was confident in herself to take the underground Kree city alone. And, after arrival upon the quinjet, she approached the tomb-like entrance before going in, ready to find the Grand Obelisk and reverse the affects of the wave, though, she was growing quite fond of her super strength these days. Not too long after she had entered, she felt a sort of presence after her, and upon turning corner after corner she found herself hitting a dead end in a rather enclosed area. Once she turned around slightly, she saw a familiar figure and her brows shot up. “Mason? What the hell?” Why was some random dude she had met one time here, in a tomb, all the way in San Juan?
