Phoenix Starters

“The cities changed a lot from what I remember.” Then again, time did that. It changed things, from cities to people to curses. / @thephoenixstart​

            “HEY!” For as much people were kind, there were so many which weren’t. He wasn’t sure what the liquid was, hopefully not something infectious, but an angel would probably fair better then a human. So, Diligence had charged them out of the way and took the ‘hit’.

So the thing that came with being awful at combat and having a really good teacher, was that there was a middle ground. A middle ground in which Deke learned one move really really well, so he could incapacitate the attacker and call for help. That move itself was the nose, at least it’s objective was the nose. His hand shoved up, bottom palm, and all force in his elbow behind the impact. He surprised himself with it actually working. Now, this was the part where he called for help. The only problem was his smashed phone on the pavement. His attacker remained on the ground with their face contorted in pain, and Deke wondered if he should just run. But… what if this guy went after someone else? Dammit. “Hi,” He said, his eyes continuously darting toward his fallen attacker. “Could I possibly borrow your phone?”

Books and books and nothing. Nothing useful, nothing helpful, nothing new, not a damn thing. She shouldn’t be shocked, it’d been a reality she had accepted so long ago. Acceptance of that helplessness and inability to change things. But now she knew better, now she knew things could be changed. She just needed to figure out how. It’d been one of the reasons she stopped in the first place, that defeat over the lack of progress and the heartbreak that came with each failure. Now… now she knew there was something to find. There wasn’t an excuse to quit, she couldn’t quit, if not for her own sake then those who loved her. Not just the romantic love either. Her family didn’t need her curse intertwined with them, there was already enough to deal with on different fronts. Not to mention Cupid… she was putting so much on Cupid, and with so little to offer in return. Right now, it was all on Cupid and that was something that needed to change. Asta slammed the book down, knocking it out of her sight because she couldn’t bare to look at it for the risk she would have ripped it up. “The author,” She inhaled deeply, trying to sate her own frustration. “I have to start these books by checking the author and publication date.” There were little books from the 21st century that would be much help, only the older text would offer the knowledge she needed. Checking reliability on the source wasn’t something she’d prioritized before she’d wasted so much nice on what was unreliable. “Dammit.” Asta cursed once more.

“I know when people usually say ‘they’re fine’ it’s like 9 out of 10 times a lie- but seriously, I am fine. Boy Scout’s honor.” Of course, Billy had never been a Boy Scout, but that was neither here nor there.

Erik wasn’t used to city life by any means, it was vast difference to the safety of Genosha, they grew everything they need and everyone there was a mutant so he didn’t have to worry about hiding his powers. He sighed waking up this morning know that he wouldn’t be able to get to work without some type of coffee in his system. He stood outside the coffee shop for a moment before reaching for the door only to be met with another hand. “Forgive me, I wasn’t paying attention. Please after you.” he mused holding the door open. @thephoenixstart​

Someone was doing it on purpose. That was what Asta decided. For the past two blocks she’d heard footsteps that weren’t her own. Not to say she was scared, she was an archangel and one of the seven deadly sins, she wasn’t. But she’d turned numerous times by now, and whatever it was still lacked appearance. She was tense because she was annoyed, not unnerved. Obviously not. Another sound of steps behind her, and she snapped her head back, ready to catch her follower. “Aha!” She called, hoping to have caught them. Except, no. Once again they were gone. Perhaps she was imagining things. All the turmoil in the last month had her mind was tricking her into thinking there was more. She sighed at the fruitless action. No one was following her, no one would if they knew what was good for them. Ready to get home and rest easy in a place of comfort, Asta turned back her previous path. Only to be faced with a unexpected sight IE, another person. Startled, she let out what amounted to a shriek (she refused to actually call it one). They hadn’t even been glancing at her until she made such a noise, that much was obvious. They seemed just as startled as Asta had. Which was fair, having a woman make such a loud noise for seemingly no reason was startling. Asta inhaled deeply. “My apologizes, for ah… that.” For the whole ‘screaming in their face’ thing. All their crime had been was passing her by when she was too focused on other things to acknowledge their presence then she’d been startled by it. / @thephoenixstart​​
