Point being, dude was ******** ancient as s**t, as far as Megiddo was concerned.
And they shared a planetary alignment, and the first time they'd met, she'd been punching Mistral in the gut like an a*****e. Which was a great way to make a first impression, sucker-punching the crippled genius and all that. Megiddo was so proud of herself, except for the part where she wasn't.
She arranged to meet the the older knight downtown, on the roof of a corner store where she hoped that the sheer number of other powered people bopping around the neighborhood would keep them from being interrupted. Negaversers were pesky, and she was more than well equipped to deal with them on her own, but she was trying to save face with Niflhel and beating someone to death in front of him would probably not get the job done.
Or maybe it would. Maybe he was into that.
Huh.
Megiddo sat down on top of an HVAC vent and rubbed a scuff on her boot. Niflhel still had a few more minutes before he'd be officially late, she thought, and she didn't really know if he were the kind of dude who usually ran on-time or not.
Really, she didn't know what kind of dude he was at all, besides that she was pretty sure he was pissed with her.
