Stuck in a Blood sucking world
Olivia looked at Sarah and then looked around. Where were the rest of the Exiles? Shouldn't they be with them? "Where are the others?" she asked Sarah. "Shouldn't they be here?"

	Liv kept moving. Staying in one spot would let them use their numbers to their advantage. One grabbed her arm and she spun on a heel and staked him in the heart. She kicked to the side to hit one coming at her flank. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah smashes Mjolnir down on the head of the one Liv knocked down with the kick, then sweeps back around to send two more flying off the building. They'll be back, or run away - but its effective for the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Liv staked the remaining vampire as the others retreated. She was sweaty and breathing a little hard when they were done. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah is in a similar condition. Even with her endurance, that was not an easy fight - but they seem to have won it. "You ok?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just a little winded," Liv said. "We should probably find someplace to hole up until we figure out how to get out of here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Depends on the world, the vampires and especially the church. If its actually sanctified ground, though, we should be ok. Good idea. This the first time you've run into vampires?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Until now, most of the vampires I dealt with were pretty stake resistant, and most of them were elders or super-powered. Only time I'd seen stakes work was while they were sleeping... and we still had to cut their heads off... but they didn't have the sheer numbers of this place, so it kind of makes up for it. Glad to hear that stakes still worked for the vampire herd though..." and it catches up with her.

"...Of course steaking cows worked."

"If I could carry a mission log with me more easily, I would, so people could get a primer on the journey so far." A bit of a deep breath. "Staking vampires is one thing. The second world we went to, most of the people we knew had become vampires. We had to put down vampire children, cut people's heads off in their sleep while looking at people we knew... I crushed the Black Panther to death against a wall, because there was no other way. Then one of our teammates tried to take a shortcut to solving the Tallus' riddle, and shot one of our few living allies in the head... and we found out there are no shortcuts. We were stuck there, until I helped Allison disintegrate the vampire version of my Aunt Ororo. We get some pretty horrible assignments sometimes. Allison was one of our first casulties two worlds later. A version of Quicksilver snapped her neck, just like that."

	Sarah sighs and nods. "Me too. I used to be a lot more of an idealist. I just keep hoping to get everyone else home before the point of not being able to go home again, or ending up like the people who've died out here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
