John walked down a London street at night, holding Bear to him and chuckling at something.

"I'm so glad you dragged me out of the workshop."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 8:48 pm

"We can't spend friday nights under fluorescent lights, that's the deal, if I recall."

Bear smiled, pecking John on the cheek with her lips.

by **John Hino** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 8:53 pm

"Fluorescent no, neon yes," he nodded.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 9:03 pm

Bear nodded with a smile, looking at the bright lights of Tweaksbury Doff.

A storefront caught her eye, displaying some Japanese fur nature and decorative items.

"Very nice.."

"Want to go look?" he asked, secretly eying something else on the street, "I need to make a call anyway."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 7:02 pm

"Sure, I'll meet you at the cafe."

Bear turned, kissing his cheek again.

"See you soon.."

by **John Hino** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 7:16 pm

He gave her a peck in return.

"Have fun," he smiled.

From a little down the street, a teen in trainers was keeping pace with Bear.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 8:57 pm

After looking a bit more at the Japanese fashions deciding on a birthday gift for John, she began moving down the cobblestones at a le surly pace, not giving any sign she knew about her tail.

by **Narrator** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 9:08 pm

From around the corner, another teen in trainers walked slowly towards her.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 9:30 pm

Bear continued down the road, not changing her speed.

by **Narrator** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 9:39 pm

"Sorry, lady, but do you got a fag?" the kid in front of her asked.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 10:04 pm

"Sorry, I don't smoke."

She smiled, then deftly stepped around him, continuing down the street.

by **Narrator** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 1:16 pm

"A light, then, maybe?" he said, cutting her off.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 4:35 pm

"Once again, sorry mate. No smokes, no lights for smokes."

She gave a big smile this time, as she again deftly slipped around her accostors.

by **Narrator** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 4:38 pm

"Oy, then how about a quid? So we can go buy some?" he said, trying to cut her off again as his buddy closed the distance from behind.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 4:42 pm

"Afraid notttt..." She replied, sliding again to the side and away. with a smile.

by **Narrator** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 4:49 pm

ANd with that, one of the two kids pulled out his knife.

"Why don't you rethink that, Yank."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 5:47 pm

Bear sighed slightly.

"No, I've thought this through enough, thanks! Now, if you two are smart, you'll drop the blades, and go home."

She kept up her smile, showing she had nothing in her hands construed as a threat. She did shift her stance, facing the nearest wall.

by **Narrator** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 7:09 pm

"If YOU'RE Smart, you'll hand over your wallet and your cell phone."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 7:32 pm

"Make me."

by **Narrator** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 8:36 pm

"I don't want to stab you, but believe me, I will."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 8:40 pm

"No, you won't. Last chance- go home, forget this happened."

by **Narrator** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 8:52 pm

The two thugs looked at one another. This wasn't the normal reaction.

"No, this is YOUR last chance! Money and electronics NOW."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 9:01 pm

"No. I'm not going to be threatened by you."

by **Narrator** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 9:39 pm

And that's when one of them darted forward with the knife.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 9:55 pm

Like she had trained thousands of times in the danger room, bear sidestepped, driving a fist into the soft part of the attacking wrist in a strike designed to disarm.

And she did it with a smile.

by **Narrator** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 12:11 am

And disarm it did! The one thug dropped his knife!

Now the OTHER lunged forward with HIS switchblade.

by **John Hino** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 9:30 am

A small spherical machine flew into the thug's path and flashed a painfully bright light in his face.

by **Narrator** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 1:46 pm

"Gah!" the thug said.

Talkative bunch, these thugs.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 4:41 pm

Bear strode up, removing the other knife from the second thug. After all, someone could get hurt! She folded the blades back up, and put them in her purse.

"Now, this is where I use my angry voice."

She quickly went through the stunned attackers pockets, retrieving any ID he had.

If I EVER see you mugging someone else, especially a woman who looks defenseless, I'm not sending you home. I'm sending you to the King's Road Hospital just two blocks over. Understood?"

She gave the two jerks a look that she was serious, and that she had the Will and the way to follow through.

by **John Hino** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 7:21 pm

A dark, hulking figure watched from the shadows with a toothy smirk.

by **Narrator** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 7:31 pm

"Let's get the fuck out of here!" the non-stunned one said to the stunned one, and they began to hightail it

by **Byrna Cooper** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 7:51 pm

Bear leaned over, picking up the very familiar ball. She smiled, looking John's way.

"Thanks for the help, Handsome."

by **John Hino** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 8:05 pm

The flying robotic sphere beeped, seemingly annoyed by being handled.

"Though I'm not sure you needed it," John chuckled as he walked over to her.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 8:14 pm

"It's always more fun with someone to share it with."

She smiled, handing the sphere back to John.

by **John Hino** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 8:18 pm

"Well then next time I'll help scare the piss out of them," he grinned as he put the robot back into its pouch.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 8:23 pm

"On to dinner, then?"

by **John Hino** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 8:31 pm

"Let's," he agreed with a smile.
