Stranger in a not so strange land
It was a slight increase in local stores in St. Roch that might alert the curious observer that someone new was in the area. It wasn't anything too pricey. Some camping equipment here. Some food there along with basics. That wasn't enough to really get the local authorities chomping at their bits but then some tools went missing as well as beer.

It was going to take some work for anyone to find the Thangarian. That was of course until she got herself a little drunk while trying to fix her ship. Not the smartest idea but booze and cigars helped her think.

HEY wait a second, she ran out of cigars. She was going to go through with the worst idea ever but because she was drunk it was of course also the best and most awesome idea ever. She would go steal some cigars from the local smoke shop.

And she forgot to not set off every single alarm. This was going to end badly. She still made off with a nice box of cigars. But she just knew she was going to end up getting caught. But still she had the cigars so that made everything better obviously.

Some people might disagree with her but hey she'd deal with that after she escaped to her not so evil lair.

Warhawk is no detective, but this crook might as well be holding up a neon sign saying "Come Kick My Ass, Please" with all of the disruptions he or she is causing. Rex hopes this crook is a guy, because it's been awhile since he made someone bleed.

He'd narrowed down the general area of where this crook was holed up and landed near the entrance, mace at the ready. Once inside, Rex calls out.

"You caught me on a good night, whoever you are. I'm feelin' inclined to talk you out of bein' stupid, rather than breaking your face on sight. Be smart, come out and give up, and I'll just take you to jail.

Pull a gun and I'll cripple you for the next six months." Warhawk growls.

Who said he couldn't be diplomatic when necessary?

"Who says I have a gun?! Maybe I have a frelling Justice Baton," she calls. Oh yeah she still feels drunk. The cigar isn't helping her sober up.

She does though grab one of her swords. Oh yeah way too much beer her head swims as she moves folding her wings in close and getting ready to fight her way out. Her ship is still fragged to hell but she can worry about that when she isn't drunk and about to get into a fight.

"Justice batons, guns and other weapons will also land you in rehab. Drop whatever you got and come out before the pain starts." Rex says.

"You frell you. Like that's any way to get someone to peacefully turn themselves in," she calls.

"I ain't going anywhere with you."

Even drunk she knows where her back exit is. And she tosses something into another section of the hide out to try and distract him.

Warhawk's attention is distracted momentarily by the object, but he can still hear her scrabbling around back there.

"If I've got to chase you, we're gonna have some problems." Rex says.

"Why are you stealing in my city?" he asks.

"Let's see.... I don't have Earth credits. I'm broke in that respect. I'm hungry."

She trips and curses vividly because now she cat move. One of her wings is tangled.

"And Earthers are racist so I couldn't exactly go to a soup kitchen. You really don't like aliens."

She squirms then lets out another curse. Frell her wing!

"You'll have to forgive us. Aliens tend to come and kick our planet whenever they get shore leave, so some people aren't to happy with them." Rex says, making his way further into the cave.

"What planet are you from? I know some people who wouldn't mind helping out an alien in need." Warhawk says.

She manages to get her wing free but winces when a few blooded pin feathers fall to the ground but she keeps moving.

"Just.... around. I don't call my people's home world home. They don't like people ho are different and I ain't so xenophoobic," she lets herself slide down a bank. The sound of her boots and the ;leather armor on her knees scraping against stone and rock can easily be heard.

"And let's just say your people have excellent cause to hate mine. I don't blame them at all."

"You could be one of about a thousand races right now, lady. How about you stop runnin' and I won't bash you. We'll talk this out and then talk out how you're gonna give back the stuff you stole.

Deal?" he asks.

"Please. Is that how you sweet talk all yer thieves? No wonder this area is so squeaky clean. They laugh so hard ya catch 'em straight away. Fine. I'll stay put. Come and find me Captain Scowly Britches," she challenges while taking a look at her wing.

Then realizes she is well and truly drunk. A smart thief would be gone already.

Warhawk makes his way into the lair, finding himself face to face with, at last, a Thanagarian.

Suddenly, he really wishes she were a guy and that she would put up a fight.

"All right, what's your name and how did you get here?" he asks.

Hey she still might as she's pretty drunk. The cigar she is slowly smoking and her posture gives off the air she is trying to look relaxed.

"Sherearia Thos. People call me Sher. And I kinda had to land my ship. Too damaged to go much further. I was trying to avoid the latest really stupid thing going down."

Sherearia.

The name caught Rex attention. From he knew of Thanagar, which wasn't much, her name was a longer form of Shayera.

His mother's name.

"How badly damaged is your ship? Human governments collect alien ships like candy." he says.

It was thought of as a lower form but yes, he was right.

"The systems navigation is half fried. The back rudder is frelled to hell, and there's damage throughout the envriomentals." She huffs puffing her feaths a bit.

"I don't want to stay on Earth. But I have little choice if I can't fix this. And I don't know who I could call."

This is great. A stranded Thanagarian.

"I...might know some people who can help you out, if you can keep from stealing anything else. I've got some friends who are real good with fixing things." Warhawk says.

"...If you know someone who would be willing to trade for Galatic credits I could play the stores back. I don't like stealing from stores. It's like being lazy."

She fiddles with the blade hanging off of her hip. "And I'll behave. You're not gonna confiscate the cigars, are you? Smoking helps me think."

"Are you a little /young/ for smoking? Those things are bad for you." Rex says, glad that this girl doesn't really know him.

"And if you give me the stuff, I'll return it myself. The cigars come with me. Consider it payment for the favors I'm gonna have to call in to get my friends to help fix your ship." Warhawk says.

"I'm Warhawk, by the way."

She actually huffs around the cigar hanging from her teeth. "I ain't that young. I always thought if'n ya were old enough to fight ya were old enough to smoke and..."

She hiccups noisily. "Drink. Are you taking the beer too? I like Earth beer...it goes down fuzzy."

Oh yeah she's still drunk. It's hitting her way more now. "Most of what I took was food stuffs.... And a bed roll thingy. Ground was too hard."

"Yeah, beer and cigars are off-limits for the young and short..." Rex says, starting to trail off.

He takes another look at Sher and sort of blinks in shock.

Dear gods...I'm looking at Pnnt in five years if I don't keep her on the straight and narrow. Rex thinks.

"What does your family think about you bein' on Earth?" he asks.

"I ain't..." She was about to say she wasn't a kid. But that obviously isn't working.

"I don't know. Half the time I don't get to talk to my brother. My Uncle ain't around much. Think he might be in jail again."

She shrugs lightly.

"Last ship I worked on did some dumb shit so I don't have a Captain to send a message to either. Just the way of things."

"So...this place is where you've been staying?" Rex asks.

Gah, he didn't like where this was going. This kid reminded her of Nicolette way too much. If Nic had nowhere else to go, Rex wouldn't turn her away, no matter how bad stuff was between them.

"If you need someplace to stay while things gettin' fixed, I might know a guy with a place." Rex tells her.

"Only for now. If I have to I can live off the land. Learned that a long time ago. You do what ye have to if yer in boots like mine."

Her speech certainly isn't pretty. But what he was offering works.

"That guy have a first aide kit? Messed my wing up a little. Gotta put a patch on 'er." She hiccups a little.

"And sober up."
