Road Trip - Kansas

A certain electric sports car can be found, finally arriving in Kansas.

By this point, its occupants will probably be very, very pleased to see anybody other than...well, each other.

(Also, Faith suspects that Wendell will be glad not to have to be a rat anymore. Er.)

They're getting close to a certain farm, so they're easily intercepted.

In a bar in Metropolis one summer night, Tom is quite drunk. He stumbles out of the bar with a few of his new best friends who are trying to explain to him why Family Guy was the best show ever and they wish there were more new episodes.

Tom stumbles, grins, wavers on his feet, and agrees. Eventually his new best friends leave for more pub crawling. Once they're out of sight, Tom walks to a nearby alley and flicks open the wallet he nicked.

Debit card, credit card, and a twenty. Eh, it'll have to do.

The ratskin, not as drunk as he appeared, takes the cards and money and tosses the wallet in a nearby garbage can.

Two-seat cars, while flashy, are not very convenient.

Thankfully, Slayer strength makes converting them a lot easier.

The trunk of the car has been appropriately mangled, turning it into a second set of seats. Faith has done a lot of smirking at the faces Wendell made while she was doing it, too.

Now the three of them - Faith, Wendell and Giles - are tooling down a highway none of them recognizes, headed vaguely Kansas-ward. Wendell is nestled comfortably in the glovebox, Giles is asleep (and strapped safely down) in the makeshift backseat, and there's room for one more in the front passenger's seat - if anybody should need a lift.

(OOC: So here's how this is gonna work. I am perfectly willing to have multiple subthreads, so feel free to tag in! Having said that, they aren't going to get to Kansas yet, in this post, and if your pup wants to be dropped off someplace that's out of the way, another time would be better. Kthnxbai!)

The trunk is packed with what meager belongings Faith and Wendell have.

Goodbyes and explanations have been given.

It's 1500 miles to Metropolis, the car is fully charged, and we haven't got shades.

Let the Road Trip begin.

It's probably been a long time since Montreal heard the sound of a car engine.

But here is one, driven by Faith - it's not only living things that get Shattered, after all, and every now and then the muns Fates are kind.

So here she comes, tooling up to base camp in an electric car, in 'Hello, Officer' red.

With the top down, baby.

Faith wasn't in love with Hild.

She's not sure she's capable of being in love, and anyway, both of them are a little too practical for that.

Were. In Hild's case, were.

But she was fond of the Valkyrie...cared for her...as a lover, and as a friend.

They burned the bodies, sent them to sea, got Villiers settled in...and now he's sleeping, and Faith is alone in the darkness, carving stakes out of the debris of a building, glad to have something, anything, to take her mind off of...things.

She's supposed to be alone. All Slayers are. She knows this.

Doesn't make it any easier.

Life in destroyed Montreal is surprisingly calm, sometimes. Such as now.

There's a Villiers sitting in the shelter, working on patching up a jacket he found. He's out of his suit by now, opting for plain old shirt and pants. And mending/making new clothes, apparently, with his salvage needlepoint kit and the tattered bits of clothes he managed to find amidst the wreckage.

There’s a flash.

There’s a bang.

There’s a Villiers sitting in the remains of an office building in the middle of Montreal, which is clearly not MI6.

To put simply, Villiers is very, very confused.
