*Pulse had left instructions on Roxi's Twitter via Keira's Twitter that she had to come to Pulse, alone.*
*As instructed, Roxi, clad in her costume, stands on the rooftop, waiting.*
Pulse: If you would be so kind as to come up here.
*Roxi looks up, and sees Pulse.*
Roxi: Pulse... what... did you?
*Pulse is sitting on the ledge of the taller, neighboring building, her eyes closed. She sits with her legs crossed.*
Pulse: Can you just do what I ask without questioning it? I am trying to concentrate here.
*Roxi flies up cautiously.*
Roxi: Pulse, did you take Ke - Kat? Do you know where she is?
*Pulse turns herself on the ledge, facing Roxi and pointing at the ledge in front of her for the hero to sit. He legs are crossed, her hands on her knees, not bothering to open her eyes.*
Pulse: She is fine. She knocked herself out trying to struggle when I was asking the same from her as I am from you. If you would sit, this can go very smoothly. You are the more level-headed of the two of you.
Roxi: I just... alright.
*Roxi nervously, cautiously sits down*
Pulse: Hands please...
*Roxi nervously gives Pulse her hands. Pulse opens her eyes and looks up, very serious.*
Pulse: I need you to clear your mind of bullshit. Keira is fine. She passed out is all. I put her in a safe place.
Roxi: Okay...
Pulse: I need you to focus on just one thing. And please dont get scared or struggle. You won't be able to move. Keira tried, and all that energy she used hurt her.
Roxi: What is this for?
Pulse: I want to show you something. I have been growing.
*As she speaks a purple void starts to cover their skin, covering their hands first and then traveling up their arms. It wraps around their bodies, tightly locking them in place.*
Pulse: Can you focus on nothing but a number? You don’t have to picture it like me, just focus on it. It might help.
Roxi: Okay...
Pulse: 38.8893° N, 77.0501° W.... I apologize beforehand if we blow up.
Roxi: Wha....That's... the Lincoln memorial?
Pulse: I haven't tried to go this far but just a few times before. Most of the time I just combust. You're helping though. As long as you're focused we will be alright.
Roxi: Why are we going to do there...
*Pulse doesnt answer, instead the two disappear, a light popping sound left echoing on the rooftop. Moments later the two appear, one hundred feet in the air, sitting on top of the roof of the memorial. The purple void around them disappears and Pulse breaks her hands away, quickly getting to her feet and surveying their surroundings.*
Pulse: Holy shit! It worked! I did it!
*Roxi looks around, stunned*
Roxi: Pulse... what... what is all this about?
*Pulse moves around the top of the memorial, looking around the city, and locking her eyes on the Washington Monument across the way.*
Pulse: It's beautiful, isn’t it? I have always wanted to come here.
Roxi: Yes... it is...
Pulse: You two, and all the rest of your friends, fly around and kind of protect the places that these things represent, don’t you?
Roxi: That's our job, Pulse. To keep these people, and these things safe.
Pulse: I don’t mean to make you think I don’t realize that. I know you have a job to do. I know what that means for me as well. I never really hurt anyone. I never stole anything that people wouldn’t get back from insurance. Am I really so bad?
Roxi: Pulse, I can understand the moral grey area in life. But you robbed those ATM's, that's not your money. Regardless of if you were going to give it back.
Pulse: And you made me fight you... well, Keira did. I never wanted to.
Roxi: It's my job, and Keira's job to uphold the law. Do I think you're a bad person? No... For some reason, I don't. I'm not here to fight you. I just want Keira back.
Pulse: I can take you to her, but you can't take me in. You have to let me go. Keira wouldn't, nothing I could do could change her mind. I am done with those things. I found something better. You can’t take me in though. I won’t go.
Roxi: Then... what was this all about? Why did you kidnap Keira? You obviously know who we are, what was this for?
Pulse: If you do that, you're going to lose someone that you love. There is no coming back from that. It is your choice. You have to pick between arresting me, or one of your loved ones. Keira didn’t understand. She is emotional.
Roxi: I just want to know... I don't want to fight you, and I don't want you to hurt Keira. Please.
Pulse: I don’t want either of those things either. It isn’t Keira I am talking about. I need an answer Roxi. Am I free to go, or not?
Keira: No...you're not....
*Keira is seen behind Pulse and in front of Roxi, one eye closed and panting heavily*
Roxi: Keira?
Keira: Hey...
*Roxi rushes over to Keira and hugs her, cradling her in her arms.*
*Keira weakly hugs Roxi*
Roxi: Pulse... Just.... just go.
*Pulse shrugs and turns around.*
Pulse: I told you that you would only be in there for a day. I knew you would break out, and I knew that when you did, it would be right here.
Keira: It...it took all of my energy...to escape...
Pulse: I knew you would escape. You have no patience. We would have been there soon. As soon as Roxi made her decision.
Keira: I...I got patience. I had patience when I first met you...When I saved...you from your own father
Roxi: Keira shhh! Please... it's over and done with. Pulse, I said you're free to go.
Keira: And let her escape?
*Pulse, still with her back to them, does as she did the night before, she reaches up and pulls the mask off her face, looking down.*
Roxi: I don't care about her escape. I just wanted you back.
*Roxi looks up at Pulse*
Keira: Turn around....Jean
Pulse: That’s the thing, I don’t want to escape. I want to stay, with both of you.
*She turns slowly, showing them both her face and finding courage to meet Roxi's eyes.Roxi stares at Jean in disbelief.
Roxi: Jean... you...
*Keira just stares and pants*
Jean: Do you understand now why I never wanted to fight?
Roxi: .... I.. You captured Keira, why did you take her? You could have just left her. You came to me last
night, you told me all those things... it didn't have to come to this.
Jean: I tried to bring her here. Even after she knew it was me.... she hurt me. She kept fighting.
*Jean brushes away a tear from her cheek.*
Jean: I hugged her and she pushed me away with that... thing.
Keira: We wanted...you...to be happy. But if I had known...
Jean: YOU DID KNOW! I told you and you still hurt me.
Keira: Well, you got...a chance
Roxi: Stop it! Keira you're in no condition to fight. Please save your strength.
Keira: I'm not...fighting her anymore
*Jean shakes her head and steps further away.*
Keira: Jean...stop. I said I'm not fighting....
Jean: You made your choice. By the time you get back to Miami I will be gone.
Roxi: Pul... Jean... You wanted to be with us....
Keira: Yea...I made my choice. I said you're not going anywhere. I never said...about going to jail
Jean: It’s what I want more than anything. I want you both. But I am not going in though. Not arrested. Not in front of your other heroes. Nothing.
Keira: JEAN! LISTEN TO ME! I'm not arresting you...not anymore
*Keira slowly walks over to Jean, but she slowly falls over again As soon as she starts to fall Jean disappears, and comes forward in less then a second, appearing again on her knees and catching Keira before she can fall to the ground.*
Jean: Stop pushing yourself.
Keira: I...I...
*Jean looks up at Roxi and waves her over.*
Jean: Come here.
*Roxi walks over, close to Jean. Jean pulls Keira up, leaning her back against her chest. She reaches out, her arms under Keira's and out towards Roxi.*
Jean: If it is three of us we need to be closer together. Hug us. This is a lot to break down.
*Roxi reaches up and pulls her mask off, tossing it aside, tears streaming down her face. She reaches out for Jean and Keira.*
Jean: This one is really easy. Just think home. I'm sorry. Roxi.
*Roxi finally does embrace them both thinking of home as she still cries. Jean closes her eyes and instead of the instantaneous disappearance, they all flicker for a second before they are gone. They come back into existence, whole again, standing at the foot of the married couple's bed.*
Jean: I... love you both...
*Her arms go limp and her eyes rolls back in her head. She collapses like a rag doll, hitting the floor hard, undoubtedly unconscious.*
*Roxi gently lays Keira on the bed. She then reaches down and caresses Jeans face before picking her up and gently laying her next to Keira.*
Roxi: Rest now... Both of you.
*Jean's eyes flutter, and finally manage to open. She is immediately in panic mode. She feels herself, still in her Pulse outfit. She couldn't remember how she got here, but had her suspicions. She must have passed out. She knew she shouldnt have taken Roxi so far. She sits up, gauging her surroundings and noticing the fans around her. It was kind of familiar, but everything in her head was fuzzy.Keira was seen trying to train as she breathes heavily*
Jean: Ke... Keira... where are we? What happened? You got out.. you fell.
Keira: J...Jean?
*She is immediately terrified, sitting up and pulling her legs into her chest, making herself as small as possible.*
Jean: Whats going on?
Keira: You're home
*As the fog starts to clear from her head, the room becomes more familiar.*
Jean: Your house.... but why?
Keira: It's where you live now
Jean: How did we...? Did I make us here? Where is Roxi? Oh no.... I messed it up, didnt I? She didnt make it through? Is she here?
Keira: She's...in the...bedroom
Jean: All of her?
Keira: Yes....
*She looks down at her knees with a feeling of success in her smile, and whispers to herself.*
Jean: I did it...
*Keira smiles, but falls down again. Roxi hears the thud, and scrambles to her feet running into the fan room*
Roxi: Keira! I told you! You can't work out!
Keira: I...I...I'm....f-f-fine
Jean: Roxi!
Roxi: Jean! You're awake!
*Roxi helps Keira to her feet, and then walks over to Jean, offering a hand to help her up. Jean looks reluctant, guilt radiating from her, but she takes Keira's hand and slowly gets to her feet.*
Roxi: Both of you need to take it easy. You lost a lot of energy. I mean it.
Keira: I...said...
*Jean's legs wobble a little as she takes a step towards Keira, hugging her.*
Jean: I'm sorry.
*Keira's eyes close as she feels the breeze from the fans Roxi hooks her head under both girls arms to support them, walking very gingerly to ensure they don't fall.*
Roxi: I mean it you two. You both can barely stay conscious. Take it easy, and get in bed. If I have to, I'll tie you both down.
*Jean laughs.*
Jean: It really doesn’t work...
*There is nothing threatening in her voice, just light humor.*
Roxi: Shhh. Come on, walk slowly.
*Roxi walks gingerly with Keira and Jean, taking them into the bed room. She gently lays them both on the bed, and places Keira gently in the bed, followed by Jean. She kisses each of them on the forehead*
Jean: I am sorry you two... I didn’t mean for this to happen.
Roxi: Jean, save your strength. We'll talk about everything when you' both are well enough.
Keira: Ro...Roxi
*Jean closes her eyes, and puts her hands across her chest. She takes a few steady breaths and disappears, coming back behind Roxi with her arms around her waist.*
Jean: I mean it.... I messed up....
Roxi: Jean... come on, you're being stubborn. You need rest.
Keira... don't you dare get up again.
Jean: I can’t just lay in your house without saying it.
*Roxi again eases Jean onto the bed, sitting her down on it.*
*She turns towards Keira.*
Jean: I... I shouldn't have...
Roxi: Jean, please... It's over now. Lay down, sleep. Before you hurt yourself.
*Roxi kisses Jean on the cheek and smiles, caressing her face.*
Jean: I already did... I hurt both of you.
Roxi: *sigh* Jean, listen, we've got a lot to discuss when you're both better. Right now, it will make me very happy, if you just lay down and rest.
Jean: You too?
Roxi: In a little bit. I've got patrols to do. You lay here with Keira. I'll be back soon, and I'll join you. And we'll all rest.
Jean: One less person causing trouble...
Roxi: Jean, come on, please, I'm begging you. Rest before you black out or pass out again. Keira will be fine, you have each other to keep company until I get back.
Jean: I will stay until she is better....
*Keira grabs Jean by her arm*
Keira: No...you...stay...forever...or...I...break...your arm
Jean: You shouldnt love me.
*Her eyes start to flutter, trying to stay awake.*
Roxi: Keira, let her go. Jean, where else is there for you to go? You can't go back out on the run. Moving from place to place like a nomad? You need to lay down here, and save your energy.
Keira: I...do...love...you as much...as I...love...Roxi.....
Jean: I’m so sorry...
*Tears start to rolls from her eyes.*
Roxi: Rest now. We love you.
*Jean nods, trying to stop the tears. She reaches out for Keira's hand.
*Keira grabs Jean's hand*
Jean: I love you both.
Keira: L...love you....too
*Roxi hugs both girls gently, kissing each of them on the forehead.*
Roxi: I love you both too.
---------------------------------------------------------
What's it like to be Queen? Hell if I know. Never experienced it myself. I grew up with a crappy life. I grew up, losing my parents. Having some sort of curse placed upon me. So yea. I know how it feels to be mud. Then again, my opponents should feel the same, considering that they picked the wrong damn day to mess with me!
Where's Mikah at? I thought she wanted to be in this as badly as everyone else? I mean. She had every chance to bitch and moan about how she was going to climb the ladder. Instead, NOPE! I got better things to do! I can't stay here and try to win anything!
Jade's the same way. It's like ever since I came here. Everyone I faced has fallen. So let me guess. Jade found out that I don't go easy on my opponents and she decided to run? I don't blame her to be honest. But I'm not a Mean Girl. I'm known to people as Evil Incarnate.
Least Traci was the only one brave enough to step up! Traci's the only one out of everyone in this match to step up and try to fight for a chance to be champion! A chance to be Queen! Sadly, no offense Traci. But after everything that's happened since I came to SCW. All I want is to make sure I have erased any trace of the Mean Girls. That means injuring you to do it, then so be it.
I take it back. I do know how it feels to be a Queen. I have my wife, Roxi. She'll see what I can do when I win. Once I win, Pray to God that the Mean Girls don't have a title to walk away with in Morocco. If they do, then I'm going to B.A.B
BREAK A BITCH!
