"Do ya like havin' yer head on yer shoulders?"
That was the immediate response to the boy's shot at her. Her right hand held onto his collar steadily, and her left hand was pulled away, starting to glow slightly.
"Cause, right now yer not in a position t'be sayin' crap like that. I've got perfectly good aim right now!"
Something seemed off this time with the way her fist was glowing this time. The rainbow at her hand before had been soft, and gentle, but this time the light that was gathering between her clenched fingers was much brighter, and very intense. Her anger was preventing her from doing what she should have been, which was checking on the cat, and instead it looked like she was going to do something she might eventually regret.
However, something managed to stop the girl dead in her tracks. It was a miserable moan from a decently injured cat. "Ungh.... god... you're fat, Lieutenant!"
True enough, the Negaverse minion was not fat, but considering the cat that lay on the ground had just been squished by him, she felt she had every right to say such.

While Iris was showing self restraint to prevent her from killing someone, Wolframite stopped in order not to be killed. His arm had been in the process of using the rope handle like a club, but it stopped in it's tracks when he noticed the way the girl was looking at him and the glowing mass in her hand. THIS was new. He remembers senshi having just one attack, but this didn’t look like she was making another lasso. This looked new. This looked dangerous. This looked deadly, even more than her gaze.
However, despite the threat, she was giving him a chance. Odd. One would assume she would just kill him where he was being held, but she hadn’t gone for the kill when he’d been tied up either. In fact….none of the senshi had. The same familiar words from a few senshi came back to his mind. None of them felt they were the one to make the call on who lived or died, and he glanced back at the man on the ground. The senshi …weren’t really killers? Did that mean that they all hesitated like this? It wasn’t something he wanted to gamble his life on to find out, but it was something he should pay attention to. Iris did say he wasn’t the one to play God, which meant she didn’t feel that way either.
What an advantage!
Feeling a sense of security, he tested out this theory by holding up his hands and letting his jump rope vanish into thin air. His eyes glanced to the cat, frowning as he saw her limp, fluffy form on the ground. Hurting senshi was one thing, but he never liked hurting an animal. “I’m not fat.” It was true. He was very skinny and very small, but for someone as small as her, he probably weighted a ton. His green eyes went back to the rainbow girl. “You might want to check up on her as soon as you can. If it’s internal, she could only have minutes.” In short, if she wanted to save her cat, she would have to leave to get it the proper help. He hoped she wasn’t stupid enough to just let the little dear die instead of seeking out a vet.

The cat laughed.
For some reason, the cat let out that airy laugh of hers, though it was much softer than usual.
"...no... you are fat!"
The hand stopped glowing, but that didn't mean the kid was safe. In fact, the fist she had formed simply came in for another quick jab at his face.
With that punch out of the way, she literally shoved the boy away.
"For every broken bone she's got, I'm cuttin' off one of yer appendages next time I see ya!" He might have assumed she was bluffing, but there was something about the glare she was giving him that said otherwise.

Okay, so they might not kill, but that didn’t mean you got away without getting a good beating. For all that he hated getting punched, the face was the worst. Hit the ribs and go for damaging his major organs, but at least he could hide and bandage those. The face was hard to disguise, and it also hurt like hell when it got hit. Iris didn’t know she was practically holding him in midair, and when she dropped him, he fell to the ground, clutching his face. Ah #@$% that hurt! It was hard to even think, and he felt blood inside his mouth and outside his face. His eye was already swelling and he knew he as going to look like crap in the morning. How was he suppose to hide that?!
As he rolled to his side, he looked back up at her in time to take in her threat and watch her watching him. He should have kept his mouth shut. Still, there were magic words in saying she would see him later. In short, Iris was leaving. Iris was going to save her cat, and wasn’t going to have time to beat him into the ground. At least not today, and when that day did come, he’d find out for himself if that cat survived with any broken limbs or not. Considering he was NOT fat, he didn’t think so….he hoped.
“Got it.” He pointed out, hearing hear and waiting for her to go. If not, he would have to actually get up and beat her, which was hard when you got smashed in the face twice!

The Senshi of Rainbows literally spat in the boy's direction before turning towards the cat.
Ellie Spectre hated cats.
Sailor Iris hated cats.
Yet for the life of her, she couldn't explain why she suddenly knelt down and scooped up the tailless cat. The senshi in yellow could never be described as particularly sentimental, or gentle. The way she picked up the cat even showed how little knowledge she had when it came to dealing with such animals, not giving nearly enough support to ********* small body.
"F*ckin' cat..." she snorted under her breath before looking at the boy again. Why was he still standing there?
"Get the f*ck outta 'ere before I change my mind, runt!" The cat wasn't exactly heavy, so she lifted up her left hand and tightened it into a fist again.

Oh, she wanted him to leave. Well, he could manage that much, but he still was thinking over the possibilities of the situation. The girl was vulnerable with the cat, the cat was hurt, and he could have, should have, worked with that to see if he could get either one of them further injured. However, that glowing mass she had before made him worry, and he wasn't at all feeling like testing out a emotional girl who was holding a dear friend. People got crazy over pets, and that might ruin his 'senshi don't kill' theory then and there.
Not pressing his luck, he stood up and brushed himself off, staggering a bit from the blows to the head and rubbing his face. It was already swelling and feeling hot, and he knew the sooner he applied cold, the greater his chances of hiding this from his friends and family. There was one thing he wanted to watch for, and that was for the body. Was she going to take it and the cat with her? Wolframite would have just nabbed the body for himself, but the fact was that he hardly went after adults and couldn't lift them all that well.
His eyes lingered on the cat again. He really was sorry for bringing the small kitten into the crossfire, but considering that a guardian cat was still a enemy, he guessed it wasn't something he should feel bad about. That didn't make it any better. Such cute things, even with bad attitudes, didn't deserve to be smushed. He could have apologized again, but it wouldn't have made a difference.
"You should have left her home. Cats have no place on the battlefield." He then turned about and leaped up to the roof, but only to walk a ways a bit and wait a while. He'd come back to see if the body was still there. If he could still get his starseed, he would. If not, well, another failure to chalk up to the list. He wasn't about to mark down a beaten cat as a win in his book.

In a high whiny mock voice, she literally imitated the boy after he had fled to the rooftops. "You should'a left 'er home... ain't my ********' cat!" The senshi rolled her eyes and was about to flee when a voice gave her an instruction.
"...make sure he gets out of here safe..."
Sailor Iris glanced down to her arms where the weak voice was. "Damn it cat! You need t'get t'the vet!" Finally lowering her balled up fist, she wrapped the cat up close against her before walking over to the victim. With her foot, she began to nudge at him.
It took a good 5 minutes (man that kid must have done a number on him), but the man eventually stirred. He was surprised to find a girl in a colorful school uniform practically glaring at him.
"Get yer a** outta 'ere if ya know what's good for ya!"
The man must have had a fear of Senshi, for he fled the scene quickly, his feet stumbling something fierce.
"There cat... now let's go!"
There was no response back. In fact, ********* felt a bit heavier now than before.
Sh*t!
Without a second thought, the senshi bolted out of the alleyway and pushed through the crowds. ********* needed to get to the vet right away. Ellie Spectre would just have to find some other way of getting that extra credit she needed.
[FIN]
