Alice Gregory-Redford Share Posted December 25, 2020 They had a rather slow day by the time the final call came up. They were leading up to a two day weekend where the pair planned to veg out on their couch with monster movies, beer and a pile of delivered food. Unfortunately, the call, while routine, went bad. A few of the perps were hopped up on a new street drug which made them erratic and they stood longer than their bodies should have. Like their head didn't get the message that they were dead. As the last one finally fell into a twitching pile on the ground Alice ran over to Seth to check him. They were both beaten worse than they had been in a while. Alice had was limping from a shot to her leg and she didn't even realize her arm or head was bleeding yet. Seth had been hit in the torso but his armor deflected that, it was the one into his side that had her worried. "Hey," she said slapping the side of his helmet. "Hey. You need to stay awake." @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Redford Share Posted December 26, 2020 Seth groaned at the impact, "I am awake," he grumbled at her while he held his palm against the wound, "what the fuck was that?" @Morrigan Link to post Share on other sites
Alice Gregory-Redford Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 "No fucking idea but whatever it was we need to be more prepared for that in the future. You able to get up?" she asked him as she glanced around the room. @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Redford Share Posted December 26, 2020 "I don't know. Feels like it might have nicked my liver." @Morrigan Link to post Share on other sites
Alice Gregory-Redford Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 "Fuck," she muttered. "Closest doc is Liz," Alice said with a frown. "Come on. You're gonna have to ride bitch and send yours home." @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Redford Share Posted December 26, 2020 "I think I'll just bleed out here," he joked. @Morrigan Link to post Share on other sites
Alice Gregory-Redford Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 "You're not getting out of our relationship that easy. You want a divorce you actually have to file paperwork jack ass. In the meantime you're just gonna have to live and that means Liz," she said as she bodily pulled on him to get his ass up. @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Redford Share Posted December 26, 2020 "But it's so much paperwork," he groaned as he gathered his legs and forced himself up with her support, "go ahead and call it in. We need to make sure the lab gets samples of whatever this shit is." @Morrigan Link to post Share on other sites
Alice Gregory-Redford Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Alice kept her good leg closest to Seth as she started to walk them out. "Maybe you should have thought of that before you let me marry you with Elvis as our priest," she smirked to him. "Dispatch this is Duchess." "This is dispatch." "Location cleared. Need cleanup. Punisher and I are leaving the scene to lick our wounds. Need cleanup to find and test the drug that these fucks were on," she said. There was a long pause. "You two alright? Need Medical." "We'll be fine. Just get cleanup in here quick. Need to figure out what the fuck they were on." "Okay. Cleanup is on its way." Alice focused more on getting Seth down to their bikes. When they got there she pressed a button on Seth's bike to send it back to headquarters as she helped him on and moved to get on it herself. @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Redford Share Posted December 26, 2020 They were in a shit heap of an old building, so the stairs were the only way down. Seth stumbled a few times and would have pitched forward if Alice hadn't kept him up. He'd lost enough blood to throw off his sense of equilibrium as the headed down. Being on level ground evened him up some. Seth was able to get on the bike and keep himself steady by leaning against her back and gripping her waist. @Morrigan Link to post Share on other sites
Alice Gregory-Redford Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Alice closed her eyes as she started the bike up. She was feeling woozy from her own battle wounds but she was pretty sure they weren't as bad as they felt. As the bike came to life she opened her eyes and started them off. "Hang on baby," she said as they headed for the closest doc that they trusted enough to patch them up. One of the few that knew what was under the helmets and didn't ask questions. When she got there she was really feeling it as she breathed out in a huff. "Come on," she said as she moved to get off the bike and help him back up. @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Redford Share Posted December 26, 2020 As they arrived and Alice steadied the bike, Seth forced himself to sit back, "You didn't mention how bad you were bleeding," he observed. He'd smelled the blood the whole ride over, but it was only now that he really saw the flow of blood coming from under her helmet. Her sleeve was drenched, too. Even as he admonished her, though, he was letting her support him toward the back bay of the building. @Morrigan Link to post Share on other sites
Alice Gregory-Redford Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 "I'm not," she said to him, "tis but a flesh wound," she tried to smirk but she was sweating as she focused on getting him inside. "Definitely not as bad as you. Did you even dodge one bullet?" @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Redford Share Posted December 26, 2020 "They always shoot most at the most intimidating one," he countered, "so obviously I have to dodge a lot more than you do. Not my fault you get the easier end of the job."Â @Morrigan Link to post Share on other sites
Alice Gregory-Redford Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 "I think you mean the bigger target," she countered. @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites

Alice Gregory-Redford Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 "My ass? Mister you gained at least ten pounds in the last month and not the good kind of weight," she said as she slammed her fist on the door. @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites

Seth Redford Share Posted December 26, 2020 "Oh well, if I gained that much you won't mind it when I cut you off from sex for the weekend."Â @Morrigan Link to post Share on other sites
Alice Gregory-Redford Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Alice smirked and looked up to him. "You couldn't hold out that long if you wanted to," she slammed her fist against the door again. "Don't have time for your shit Liz," she shouted. @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Redford Share Posted December 26, 2020 "Guess you're gonna find out," he smirked as there was a metallic grind from the other side of the door before it began to open. @Morrigan Link to post Share on other sites
Elizabeth Savage Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Once the doors were opened they were greeted by the short smiling cunt on the other side who had a stretcher. "Always good to see loyal customers," she said as Alice helped Seth onto the stretcher before she held the side to keep standing herself. "Took you long enough." "I was busy," she said as she started to wheel them back and the door closed behind them. @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites

Elizabeth Savage Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 "But they just brought Sergei back to life. I couldn't miss that," she said as they pushed past some clear plastic drapes. Alice limping along beside him, her helmet still on for the moment. "Anyone here?" "I had to send my bitch off. You two are clear," she said as Alice moved to check the room anyways. "Sometimes I feel like you two don't trust me." @Dragon Link to post Share on other sites
