«We Could be Heroes»

Ash looked at the phone for a split second before pocketing it. As she was withdrawing her hand from her pocket, she suddenly reached back in and withdrew it. How am I supposed to know that it won't blow me up? She exchanged a brief glance with Sammy as No-name shifted into the form of a much younger child. She slowly backed away, then skittered forward as she was suddenly reminded that Dryden loomed behind them. "So you're a shapeshifter. Woodedoo," she commented wryly, giving nothing away. Was this supposed to unsettle Sammy with a disturbing figment of her past? From what she'd experienced, Ash didn't doubt it one bit and actually found it quite ironic that a shapeshifter would try the same tactic to uproot their confidence again.
No-name smirked and shifted back to her boney self. "Woodedoo." She repeated under her breath, and almost laughed.
 
Ash shot a smoldering glare at him. She was enjoying this surge of audacity of herself, and she wasn't going to let him dampen it just yet. "Stay out of my mind, will you?"




Ash raised an eyebrow. "So we're on a mission to restore order somewhere... but we're led by criminals? Wow, ten out of ten logic right there."


(Dryden is everywhere. :cool: )
He smiled slightly. "Your forgetting were masterminds."
 
He smiled slightly. "Your forgetting were masterminds."
Ash visibly rolled her eyes. She looked at the golden phone in her left palm, turned it over once, observing the ornate cover with keen eyes, and finally pocketed for good with quick finality. "If you're a mastermind, then I'm Beethoven."

She shrugged. "Oh, I dunno. Maybe the whole reason you got into this mess."
"I just showed up after a six-month search for my sister and was handcuffed upon setting foot into a burning building," Ash huffed, reaching the near maximum of irritation at her own ignorance. "Don't expect me to decipher any vague admittances."

"Doesn't change the fact that you're criminals." Sammy shot back. She really wanted to melt his face right now.
She shrugged. "Oh, I dunno. Maybe the whole reason you got into this mess."
"Well.... Ok..." Sammy said, staring at No-name like she had just turned into an elephant. She hated it when people expected her to figure something out that she knew nothing about.

"You'd be surprised how much a one inch chip can do." his eyes went blue and he seemed deep in thought.

"The only thing I'm surprised at is how much arrogance a piece of metal can infect somebody with," she shot back smugly, now almost enjoying this heated exchange. It'd been so long since she'd instigated a good argument...
