I hadn't stopped moving all night, the past few days had been fought with a with a desire for any sort of news, I'd been watching listening to them mock me, mock us, tell me how Bathory was going to die.
It was a mind game, a pretty fucking sick one, but a mind game none the less.
I watched His words like a zombie taking in every syllable, every little stab, my eyes flickering as I sat in the half light of the Hotel room, leaning on e one hand, Kate did her best to keep me happy, keep me calm.
All I want and more, but Family was always close to me, I always said that , but then came some words that brought an entirely unexpected reaction.
And I felt myself smile, eyes burning as I started to Stand up, turning towards my Purple haired Love, My fiancée, laying my hands on her shoulders as I spoke ever so gently.
"Kate, I want you you to sit this one out..I don' trust these guys around you..I don't expect them them to draw the same lines I do.."
I could tell she was going to protest, but that gleam in my eyes said a million reasons to tell her to be quiet, in all this time we'd not been apart and now here I was asking her to go away somewhere..Then again ,maybe the bast place for her was by my side.
The argument had no words, and ended the way it should have ended...Kate wasn't going anywhere soon, Much as Wanted to let her go, make her hide.. She was too stubborn, just how I liked her.
Everything I have and more.
Fade in.
The camera looks up on a bright blue sky, clouds drifting and the ambient sound of traffic in the air as we slowly and surely pan down to find Devlin of all people sat on n the hood of his car.
It's a beautiful machine, most people would laugh at him for getting something out of the European Market but most people know that a Beamer is one of the best cars you can get these days, sure it doesn't have mileage, but it can take those corners way better than the Caddys.
But I digress, we aren't here to talk about cars we're here to look at Devlin, who is shuffling a deck of cards quietly as he sits on the hood and the produces one of the cards form the top of the deck and speaks up.
"So, here we are...Domination past, The Southern Sisters riding high after a terrible bow to the Raine Clan , Bathory Kidnapped, Her life in danger.. Titles claimed and people telling me already how I should be thinking, where I should be going.. What I should be doing...And in the end...They really don't get me.. Do they?
Devlin slowly turns the card around to show it off, it's a tarot card, the most infamous card of the lot: Death
"You see unlike the rest of my family..I ditched my connection to the fates, Karma...Destiny. .You mighty noticed that I'm not "The Destiny Dealer" Devlin Raine Anton I'm just plain..Ordinary Devlin, because Well I realised a long time ago that we make our destinies..our fates..That things like this?"
Devlin waved the card about dismissively before the whole deck gets scattered to the wind rather haphazardly.
"All in the mind, all in the action, I came to help my family out Anton, I don;t care about your politics.. or your bullshit, I've played that game..And as a pointer? I've played it better than you ever fucking will..But I digress I want to get onto a point you made...About Heroes, specifically Super Heroes."
Devlin's grin expanded as he lent forwards and titled his head at the camera idly slipping off the car as the camera tracked up a little to reveal Devlin was parked at a crossroads, idly wandering about his Silver Machine.
"I don't have powers, dipshit...I'm like a Noir hero..you know what Noir is ? right...Like in the 40's or Sin City? No you see..I'm the hero everyone else discounts..I'm the hero willing to go further than everyone else.. The point is...I'm still a Hero, and Bathory? Is a big girl..She stepped into this world knowing full well shit like this could happen.. she's a solider, she's a Raine ,she's blood and I will do my damnedest to find her...Tear every single one of the Southern sisters apart, because You aren't a God.. you aren't even on the level of a god.. You guys are more like...Titans..”
There was a little smirk as Devlin idly taped at the hood of his car, still wandering no particular imagery chosen except for that one card as he smirks.
"But you and I -do- agree on something Anton, Nero never should have put the titles on Bath and Spaz, it was a bad call and only served to push this conflict harder and higher than Before, some would even say...She wants this fight, some would even say We're all being played, just like we would have been done in ..Well You know the plce, only we give the person in charge a pair of tits and makes them a touch more mentally stable, I would come to think this whole thing was a game...So Nero? Just a Heads up...If Find out that is the case, that you've endangered my Kin and Kine to satisfy Ratings alone, not thrown us into a proper contest of skill to sort out just who is better? I'm going to Hold Management Responsible...And you -know- DAMNED WELL That I'm willing to climb Mount Olympus ..Just to give the gods the Finger..But where was I? Oh that's right The Stoned Hick..The wrestling 'god' The man who's going to end Devlin Raine...Blahblahblahblahwhinewhine whinewhine."
Devlin was moving one of his hands like it was a mouth , and it kept moving as he stopped talking, eyes glancing down to his own hand for a second before looking back up to the camera with a tiny little grin.
"I've heard those words before, Anton I've had them rammed in my face and most of the time I only had something to prove for me...But you see this time I'm fighting for family, and that? That makes me go harder ,faster , better and stronger you want to rip the flesh from my bones? Please go ahead and try Anton.. I -like- that shit, I'm not any sort of Raine you've ever faced before..My kind only comes around once in a while... And every time we do...Something terrible happens to our enemies. The Titans, thrown form the heavens, The Southern Sisters fought to a stand still long enough to listen to sense Or just plain shattered to the rocks..Turning back the tide of impossible odds again and again and again...Because that's the sort of shit I do...All the time."
Devlin starts to wander towards the car and open up the door slowly wind idly whipping at his hair as he looks up and smirks.
"And if we can't save her....You can be damned sure we'll Avenge her...I will Come The divining of the Oracle..You'll see what Destiny has in store for us all..All I can promise you is this...The Raines aren't going anywhere as long as I draw breath...And that -is- a Challenge Anton because I swear I'm going to do my damnedest....With or without Raine Help."
Devlin climbs back into the car and everything fades to black as the vehicle pulls away down one of the crossroads, heading on his inexorable mission, to his next fight ..To his next piece of news.
Away from the cameras some we find Devlin is now on a phone .. leaning on the dash board as the sound of a motorcycle running pulls up and Devlin gets out and stands face to face with an old friend, Blonde hair, blue eyes, Beard... They Shake hands and talk for a while about the current situation, He really doesn't trust them to not come after kate so..He calls on a dear Valentine to come and help.
But that's not the focus, no..the focus is now Back at the hotel, Devlin drops to sit down next to his Purple haired Goddess, who is currently laid on a couch, dressed in a sir of shorts and a shirt, as ever Kate is being tempting to him, but he loves that about her.
"How'd it go?"
He felt himself shrug a hand idly gliding over smooth and pale skin as he gently tugged her into a hug.
"They made it Personal Kate, I don't know how To feel really, angry? Sad? Excited?...It's...pretty fucked up, but I laid something out none the less..Like I always do...Kinda called Nero Out too”
"To a Fight? Or.....You didn't threaten her did you?”
A small laugh from Devlin as he leant in close to pull the woman into his lap and whisper..
"Nothing she wouldn't expect form me, nothing sh wouldn't say herself, is that a fair deal? Is all forgiven?”
The purple haired one looks at him suspiciously and gently punches his shoulder, Devlin playfully winces at that and pouts in mock protest as she smiles and ruffles his hair.
"Yer a Brat Devlin, you know that?”
He just nodded softly and hugged her close.
"I never said I was perfect, just perfect for you.”
And we fade before things get real mushy, Fin.
It was a mind game, a pretty fucking sick one, but a mind game none the less.
I watched His words like a zombie taking in every syllable, every little stab, my eyes flickering as I sat in the half light of the Hotel room, leaning on e one hand, Kate did her best to keep me happy, keep me calm.
