"Anya, careful!" she calls. Even though its a program, like all her training, she treats it as deadly serious. And what made the sentinels from her time so dangerous compared to any modern version other than the Mk II's was not their innate power level - it was their learning and adaptability. So far, they've gotten used to Sarah's strength and combat skills.

The smash sends it reeling, especially the one-two punch of lightning and the physical assault, but the Omega is still, if unsteadily so, on its feet.

"Radar lock, target acquired." it intones, firing a pair of seeker rockets from a shoulder panel.

Anya deployed countermeasures to distract the rockets. At least she hoped they would. One was distracted but the second kept going. Anya turned on the power to her jet boots and flew away. The plan was to circle back and have the rocket hit one of the other sentinels.

Sarah catches on to what Anya is doing, and immediately launches herself between the other two sentinels to distract them.
"They communicate, act like practically one robot." she warns, blocking fire from one, being driven forward by a blast to the back from the other - but it leaves them open, the one Anya streaks past staggering backwards from the rocket from its own fellow.

"Analyzing." the one who fired the rocket announces, firing multiple rapid-fire laser blasts in Anya's direction. "New targeting directive needed."

Anya ducked, dodged and weaved to avoid the lasers, but she did get clipped by one of them. It caught her on the left thigh and she could feel the armor giving way.

She opened fire with a unibeam from the center of her chest plate.

The Sentinel goes staggering back under the unibeam, really starting to show the stress of the fight now. Another intones, "Target laser painted, firing las-guided missiles." - followed, predictably, by a stream of mini-missiles, homing in on the laser-painted target.

Sarah is pushing up from the ground at this moment to see the steady stream of seekers. "Anya!"

She flings her shield, trying to throw it to Anya to cover up.
anyastark From: [info]anyastark Date: March 17th, 2012 10:53 pm (UTC) (Link)
Anya grabbed the shield and held it up. The rockets slammed into it and Anya kicked in the rockets against the force of the blast.

She tossed the shield back to Sarah and fired her own rockets at the sentinel.

Sarah has taken a couple of hits in the meanwhile, but thankfully, she's durable. Were it not a simulation, it'd definitely leave a few bad marks. Still, she catches the shield in time to block the heavy pulse beam, letting her unload with Mjolnir, taking the firing sentinel's arm off. It begins to focus on self-repair, while the other of the last two remaining does its best with its semi-functional shields to block the rockets, taking some marks in the process.

"Focus fire!" Sarah calls, "We only have thirty seconds before the Alpha's self-repair systems will have them back up!" Which is the other part of the insane difficulty of this scenario - like the Mk II's, alphas and omegas get back up.

Thanks to the zero point energy powering her suit, the unibeam wasn't a one shot deal and didn't take long to recharge. She unleashed another blast at the sentinel.
rogue_star From: [info]rogue_star Date: March 18th, 2012 10:31 pm (UTC) (Link)
Sarah launches the hammer, striking at the same time as the unibeam, sending the damaged robot reeling back, barely managing to block the other's shot, while it tries to track two targets.

"Almost got it." she calls, going full defensive under the scattershot from the last robot, while trying to keep track of how long she has before there's robots getting back to their feet.

anyastark From: [info]anyastark Date: March 19th, 2012 01:00 am (UTC) (Link)
The robots aren't going to get up. Anya had come to apologize, not get blown up or beat up. "End program," she said and landed next to Sarah.
rogue_star From: [info]rogue_star Date: March 19th, 2012 03:33 am (UTC) (Link)
Sarah is breathing a little hard when the program shuts off. Her injuries disappear, but she's obviously still sore. In truth, it probably worked in Anya's favor that Sarah, however upset she might be, wouldn't ever prematurely end her workout and shut a program off before it was done any more than Anya would leave an experiment in progress.

When things shut down though, she turns to her wife. "Busy day in the lab?"
anyastark From: [info]anyastark Date: March 20th, 2012 12:03 am (UTC) (Link)
"I wish," she said. "Meetings all day." Anya let the armor come off and she walked over to Sarah. She put a hand on Sarah's shoulder.

"I'm sorry. Today and the importance of it completely slipped my mind and the only thing I can say is that I'm sorry and ask that you please forgive me."
rogue_star From: [info]rogue_star Date: March 20th, 2012 04:14 am (UTC) (Link)
Sarah tenses just slightly for a moment, then sighs. "You know I can never stay mad at you for long. Besides, I know how lucky I am to have any of this... you have the lab, I have the gym... things happen. You... know of any place still open at this hour that'd serve a romantic dinner for two?"
anyastark From: [info]anyastark Date: March 21st, 2012 06:57 pm (UTC) (Link)
Anya gave Sarah a kiss. "I am sorry. You're more important than any meeting and I'm going to make it up to you. Starting with some dinner delivered and then kidnapping you to a tropical island for a few days."
rogue_star From: [info]rogue_star Date: March 21st, 2012 11:16 pm (UTC) (Link)
Sarah returns the kiss, then rolls her eyes. "Tropical island, huh? Who is the one being rewarded here?" she teases. "Dinner sounds amazing though. How long have I been down here?" She can hardly blame Anya for losing track of time when she's just as bad most of the time.
anyastark From: [info]anyastark Date: March 21st, 2012 11:41 pm (UTC) (Link)
"I don't know. It's close to ten pm already," Anya said a little sheepishly. She was supposed to be home at seven. Three hours late. Which for a Stark wasn't too bad, but Anya didn't want to always follow Stark bad habits. "You get showered and I'll put my amazing calling for takeout skills to use."
rogue_star From: [info]rogue_star Date: March 22nd, 2012 12:01 am (UTC) (Link)
Sarah nods. "Only an hour and a half, ok. I kind of lose track on the nightmare simulations. Shower is a good idea though. What are we having for dinner?" Not that she was ever that picky, but never bad to know what to expect. "Or is that a surprise?"
anyastark From: [info]anyastark Date: March 22nd, 2012 12:25 am (UTC) (Link)
Anya smiled. "It's a surprise." She had that Stark-up-to-something-look on her face.
rogue_star From: [info]rogue_star Date: March 22nd, 2012 12:30 am (UTC) (Link)
Sarah shakes her head amusedly. "Ok, and if you would happen to know where any remaining ice cream is, or find a way to procure more, I might even not bring up the 'tropical island' vs. 'quiet cabin in the woods' debate again." she replies, packing up her few things for the gym and starting towards the bathroom for her shower.
anyastark From: [info]anyastark Date: March 22nd, 2012 12:35 am (UTC) (Link)
"I'm sure I can dig some up," Anya said. Oh she knew where there was some ice cream. Anya was a Stark and that meant having to apologize quite a bit and she knew her wife's weakness. The freezer in the fridge in the lab was filled with Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream for occasions just like this.

Anya enjoyed the view as her wife walked toward the bathroom. Now to go order some food and fetch the ice cream from her secret stash.
rogue_star From: [info]rogue_star Date: March 22nd, 2012 12:46 am (UTC) (Link)
There's a reason she mentioned it. She knows Anya keeps a stock somewhere - but doesn't try and find it, or ask, because she knows she really doesn't need to be eating /too/ much ice cream. Here and there, though, especially when she knows she's worked it off (were she honest, that would never be an issue, the way she attacks the gym, but she's as hard on her waistline as everything else) - its still her favorite treat. And it makes for great apologies.

anyastark From: [info]anyastark Date: March 22nd, 2012 02:04 am (UTC) (Link)
Anya ordered a wide selection of Thai dishes and grabbed three pints of ice cream from her secret stash. She may have checked her email once, but that was it. Any work related issues could wait or be handled by Bridget.

The doorbell rang and Anya went to get it.
rogue_star From: [info]rogue_star Date: March 22nd, 2012 02:24 am (UTC) (Link)
Sarah comes back out of the shower dressed in old sweats, keeping her gym bag close at hand. She really shouldn't need it, but by now, its something of a safety blanket 'just in case'. Exiles road has never entirely left her, much as she's left it.

"Ooohh, something smells good." she says, as Anya is dealing with the food.
anyastark From: [info]anyastark Date: March 22nd, 2012 03:07 am (UTC) (Link)
Anya paid the delivery man and gave him a very generous tip. "I hope Thai is okay," she said as she carried the food to the table. "Figured we haven't had it in awhile."
rogue_star From: [info]rogue_star Date: March 22nd, 2012 03:31 am (UTC) (Link)
"Thai sounds utterly fantastic." she replies with some tired enthusiasm and definite sincerity. "And you're right, we haven't. Variety is good... even if you'd have burgers every night, left to your own devices."
