( He pushes her hair out of her head, leaning in close. )
Well, I like 'em all.
( He pushes in, kissing her lightly, and as they part, much like a nice Buffy moment, there is someone there between them, gameface ready, and snarling.
Connor fails his DEX check (6) and shoved backwards onto the grass. )
[That's directed at the vamp - not Connor. Time for her to do her actual job, by spinning towards the vampire and trying to punch it right in the face (11).]
( New vampire vs slayer (7) gets him punched back.
"Why does the word 'sucks' sound so good right now," he says, throwing himself forward, trying to grapple her and take her down backwards, teeth bared. (10)
Connor uses his turn to kicklip up. Look who's woken up. )
[Mia sidesteps the dive (15), pulling out a stake and letting the vampire crash to the ground. She passes it off to Connor before retrieving her spare.]
Aim for the heart, shove it in as hard as you can.
[And with that she'll move forward to swing at him again, looking to keep the vampire focused on her and distract (2). Or at least that's the story she's going with.]
( The vampire blocks her trajectory but she still stakes flesh (15), just not the heart. So, the vampire attempts a headbutt (8), but the angle might make that fail.
Connor then swipes a foot to his head (19), (18) and he lands true, but not as hard or the angle that he wants. )
[Mia tips her head to the side, avoiding the headbutt (13). She shifts her weight again, and then tries to stake him again (14), ready for this fight to be done and for this vamp to be put to bed permanently.]
( He wouldn't know. He has experience with asshole humans or superhumans. Not vampires. Though, he feels more prepared for them now even if it feels like he's feeling himself through a different body. )
Easy, I'll crawl into bed with him when I get back. Have our own little private moment.
( A joke. )
What did you end up telling JR, or did you? And Zoe? Nobody knows about JJ, do they?
I think I know the second I say it, JR is going to ask me what she was doing in the future and ... I don't really know how to tell her she doesn't exist.
[She could lie, but lying to her about this doesn't feel right.]
Maybe. But I can't keep it a secret from her forever.
[Eventually it's going to come out and maybe it's better if Mia tells her willingly so she doesn't find out from someone else. She then tries to make it a bit lighter.]
Also, if you're going to keep kissing me, there's definitely going to be questions.
[And then she leans in to do just that, because while he had been doing a lot of the kissing, she equally wants to do so. Especially considering kissing is all they're really going to have room for right now, given that she's going to have a pile of people in her apartment and he's been staying with JJ.
So she kisses him, for a good long while, before pulling back with sigh.]
Let's finish the loop to make sure there aren't any other ones, and then head back.
[They do the loop of the cemetery and then head back to Mia's where things seem to have quieted down. As predicted, Zoe has headed home with a note pinned on the fridge to say goodbye. Quentin is sprawled on the couch in what looks like an incredibly uncomfortable angle, and Mia likely exchanges a look with Connor before leaving him to contend with his best friend.
Mia retreats to her room, where she finds JR curled up on one side of her bed. She goes through the process of getting ready for bed, before climbing under the covers and giving her friend a gentle poke.]

Rude.

[She takes the hand and letting him pull her to her feet. She stays close once she's there, trying to figure out what they're going to do next.]
How ... are you going to tell Quentin?
[She hasn't told JR and maybe she should. But Quentin is Connor's best friend, and it's his call whether or not he's going to include him.]

no subject
[And JR has been out of pocket so she hasn't had to think about it.]
And it's not this timeline's JJ's fault, you know? I didn't want them to treat him differently.
no subject
( He doesn't want to say anything, either. )
Probably won't tell Q everything. Wouldn't know where to start knowing Tommy and Laurel are both dead there. Is that weird for you?

That's not really fair though, is it?

[Which she is very pro him still kissing her.]
no subject
Your call.
( All of it, anyway, is. Consent, kids! )
no subject
If you want to tell Q, you should tell him. I'll figure out what to do about JR.
