perpetual anticipation is good for the soul but it's bad for the heart

( She tries once more with Stiles (13 v 16) unsuccessfully.

And then, nothing. Maybe.

Stiles hesitates, looking at his allies.

"Why do I feel like we're playing the floor is lava?" )

[impetere]

[Cora stares at the wall, willing to lie in wait before taking a step back towards the rest of the group. To Sweets:]

You said you had a car?

["Yeah, it's across the way."]

We should try and get in it.

[phonetically]

Everyone to Dr. Sweets' car. Now.

( This is not a game anyone should be playing.

But, everyone gets to the car unscathed, everyone taking a seat, doors slamming behind them. The back is packed, four squished up against each other, but it's safer than being dragged away by a temporal witch. )

[impetere]

[Cora rolls her eyes as they all squish in, before taking advantage of her smaller stature and climbing over the front console into the passenger's seat.]

Now what?

["Now we go to the most plausible and safest place we can: the FBI." And he'll safely pull out into the street and start heading towards the federal buildings. "We can hide out in the offices until we get the all clear from your brother."

Liv blinks, and then reaches for her phone. "Shit, Luke."]

[phonetically]

Not that I'm against keeping everyone safe, but she can phase through the ground, you really think anywhere can keep her actually out?

( It's a damn shame that where he should feel most secure, he's not certain of, but someone has to voice his concerns.

Liv's phone comes to life at just about the same time she thinks of her brother. That twin telepathy is a bitch. )

And I'm not making excuses just because I'm supposed to be on vacation.

( If he walks back through those doors, he will be put on a damn assignment. There is no reconciliation, no real apology if he's just sent back out. )

[Liv will be answering the phone in the other thread and Sweets glances back through the rearview mirror with the appropriate question of:]

Do you have a better suggestion?

[phonetically]

No, no I don't. I just wanted it on the record that, she phases through whole surfaces. She's an X-men!

( OK? )

[likeababyduck]

She's a witch. Some witches have special skills.

[Cora shifts in her seat to look at Sweets. "How do you know so much about witches?"]

That is a very long story involving a psychic and a circus in South Florida.

[phonetically]

So, the whole time - you, we - Audrey -- you know about the supernatural?

( This makes it easier, not having to go through that spiel. )

[likeababyduck]

Audrey's situation is ... different, but you'll have to ask her about that.

[He can't even begin to explain her whole situation, and she would probably be much better at it.]

But I've known about the supernatural since before I joined the FBI.

[And this thread is going to dove tail into the other one as Liv is about to make a choice ...]
