Let's do this

X-Force, plus Foxx, sped toward the Land of the Rising Sun with all due haste to rescue Rose. Joey is quite during the flight, ready to do whatever is necessary to save his woman the moment they touch down. Honestly, he doesn't have a plan besides "find Rose, kill whoever took her, bring Rose home."

That doesn't bother him much, because X-Force has operated on less of a plan than this before and come out all right.

"Are we there yet, Ana-Pants?" Joey asks, utterly serious for once. He was ready to throw down.

"Yeah, that's right, Claws. Talk Doggy to me." Foxx snarls, blocking the incoming swipe and attempting to land a punch to the gut. She was trained by two of the finest killers in any world and she was /not/ going to let this sub-human skank beat her.

How could Johnny love something like /this/?

"You see how you are right now, Claws? You and I both know this is who you /really/ are, deep down. You're a killer, just like me. If you had to choose between loving Johnny and bein' an animal, you'd pick bein' an animal Every. Single. Time." Foxx taunts.

"And Johnny knows it, too. I faked a lot of things in this, but I didn't fake what you did to those men in that restaurant. I set that up to show Johnny that, at the core, you're just an animal pretendin' to be a real woman."

Rose herself had been trained by one of the nastier customers to ever walk any Earth. Maybe she wasn't quite as fancy-pantsed about it, but she could give as good as she got. She let out woof of air when the bodyblow connected, but dropped down for a leg sweep instead.

"Lady, you ain't sayin' nothin' I ain't already told myself. But Joey... Joey's a reason worth comin' back to."

"Even if you're gonna end up killin' him someday in one of your little murderous rages? I saw you fight. You couldn't control yourself then anymore than you can now!" Foxx says.

The leg sweep knocks her on her ass, but she's already rolling away from Rose, trying to stay a step ahead of those claws. She's seen what those can do, too. She loses her gun in the fall and curses mentally.

"You're just gonna tie him down and he'll vanish on you in the middle of the night, the way he did me." Foxx says, drawing her knife. She'll just have to cut her to ribbons, then.

	Rose let out a low growl. The words cut deeply. For her, control was a daily fight, a center always being sought, a battle always being fought. But what made it easier was having a reason to come back out of those rages. To be a woman and not an animal. Joey. She let there be a little space between herself and Foxx and gestured in a "bring it on" sort of way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	For the first time, Foxx seems to hesitate. Claws is starting to think, which is not good for Foxx. "No, you." Foxx says, beckoning with her knife. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shoulda known it wouldn't be that easy. Rose hated to admit it, but Foxx just might have been smarter than her. But smart didn't count for everything. Clever, nasty, stubbornness... She was more cautious this time, feigning right, then striking from the left. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Foxx almost falls for the feint, moving to her right, before she realizes what's going on. She earns another cut on her thigh for her troubles and she grunts, going for a wild slash at Rose's face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: In the Cellar (Rose & Foxx) wild_rose 2011-03-11 01:39 am UTC (link)
	"Argh!" the slash nearly took Rose's eye, settling instead for a cut across her cheek and forehead, dripping blood into her eyes as it heals. Fortunately, even without being able to see, her nose and ears let her keep an approximation of where Foxx is. She takes a step back, then springs forward, claws out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why won't you just /die/?!" Foxx yells, turning and trying to go for her gun. She's got to end this before Claws pulls something lucky out of her bony ass and manages a telling blow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose jabbed for the arm going for the gun. "Yeah, see, dying? Not exactly a word in my family's vocabulary." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose stabs Foxx in the arm, drawing a howl of pain from the blue-haired woman that causes her to fall to her knees. Foxx lashes out a wildly with a kick to the groin, trying to incapacitate Rose long enough for her to run for it. Fuck this. She can always catch Claws another time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: In the Cellar (Rose & Foxx) wild_rose 2011-03-13 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	It may have well been proof that Foxx was right about her, but there was something distinctly satisfying about stabbing her. Rose grunts, taken by surprise by the force of the blow. If Foxx was gonna run, now was the time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Foxx was going to run, she'd planned on it, but...if she ran, that meant that Claws won. She'd get to keep Joey and go home and live the rest of her life.

She'll always be able to say she beat me. She'll turn Johnny against me...and someday, he'll be dead because of her and I'll have to live with it.

Foxx comes to her feet growling. She throws a right cross at Rose, followed by a kick, screaming at the top of her lungs.

"YOU'RE NOT TAKING HIM AWAY FROM ME! I'LL DIE BEFORE I LET YOU HAVE HIM!" she screams, swinging blindly.

	Rose parries the first blow, managing to get her wits back just in time. The kick hurts, but gives her time to get in close, ready to stab. If she can connect, she'll use the leverage to throw Foxx up and over her shoulder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Foxx realizes too late that she's broken her mother's first rule of combat: Never get emotional. She goes sailing up and over Rose's shoulder, knowing that the sudden stop at the end of this ride is going to hurt like hell. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: In the Cellar (Rose & Foxx) wild_rose 2011-03-14 12:11 am UTC (link)
	Rose grinned wickedly at her success. She wasn't, in spite of what some people would say, an unkind person. But she did enjoy leveling the beatdown on those who deserved it. She spun, ready to strike again once Foxx hit. (Reply to this)(Parent)
