Sailor Flora didn't like running away from a fight.
But that was what had happened last time when she had encountered a youma, when she had realized her attack was weaker than it was before. The youma unfortunately didn't get poisoned by her pollen attack, and rather than use it again and weaken herself further, she had no choice but to kick a few dustbins at it. And run away before it tried to kill her. Granted, she didn't feel so bad for running away because the youma wasn't a gigantic one, but it was still dangerous, nevertheless.
It was a cat youma, almost as large as one of those kiddy tricycles, but it was still a monster. A monster which had a row of extremely sharp and pointy teeth, and claws which had scratched her left thigh. It had healed rather quickly, but she didn't forget about it. She was going to find it and take it down before it harmed anyone else.
"Here kitty, kitty, kitty," She said, stepping into an alley (well, cats usually resided in such places right?), grabbing the lid of a garbage can to act as a mock shield. In case it tried to scratch her again. "Isn't the starseed of a senshi a tasty snack to you?" She hoped this search wouldn't take so long. She was shivering slightly in the cold already. Darn winter.

Castor was looking for a fight.
Namely a fight against something he could vent some of his anger on. Before he'd left Hillworth to go on patrol, his brother had all but yelled at him to 'stay out of his life'. AKA 'Stop butting into my personal life, I am not dating Eve, I am taking her to prom, you ask too many questions, now go away I have to order some flowers and you are not helping'.
This made Elzo upset, because he didn't like being shut out of his brother's life. And Castor was Elzo, so anger had a way of falling over. So, now, as Castor, the senshi was practically praying for something to fight. At best, a negaverse agent. He would use some violent vengeance.
"Isn't the starseed of a senshi a tasty snack to you?"
Stopping himself from jumping on, Castor paused to peer down into a dimly lit alley. It seemed he wasn't the only senshi out and about these days. Well, nights really. Time aside, he did wonder why she was holding onto a trash lid. Was her attack not very good or something?
Looking up and down the alley, Castor didn't see anyone, or any youma for that matter, so it looked like a good time to make an introduction. Jumping down from the roof, he landed behind the trash lid equipped senshi.
"Boo!"
Castor, master in the art of introductions.

Flora screamed.
She couldn't help it, she had practically jumped out of her skin when a sudden "Boo!" surprised her; she was expecting a hiss, an angry meow, and not someone talking. Could youma even talk? She brushed aside this thought as she whirled around, trash lid held up defensively. And stared.
Flora didn't know whether to lower down her guard or not, she simply shook her head at the boy. "Senshi?" She asked, looking at his outfit from head to toe. There were boy senshi too? Huh. It wasn't that she had never entertained the option, she had just never seen one before. Strangely enough, he reminded her of someone... familiar.
"I could have bashed you over the head with this, you know." She said reproachfully, lifting the lid as a sort of demonstration.

The girl's reaction had been totally worth it. Even running the risk of being hit, Castor couldn't help but be mildly happy with his sneak 'attack'. Thankfully, she just held up the lid like a shield and did do for some spartan skull smash. He'd seen the discovery channel special. Those things could kill given enough force.
"Yup, senshi. Super to be exact. Of Hail. Castor." He gave a bit of a mock bow. This girl reminded him of someone, who, he wasn't sure, but hey, work was work. "Is the fair lady in need of my services? And I leave the term 'services' open to interpretation." Grinning, Castor didn't pay any mind, when behind her, he heard a loud cat like yowl.

"Oh, hi." Flora gave the male senshi a grin, brushing back a lock of blond hair as she composed herself after that shock. Senshi of Hail hmmm? He probably had a better time in winter than she had then, if you also added the fact that his outfit had long pants. "Sailor Flora, Senshi of Spring. And by that, I mean the season."
She abruptly turned, alerted by the sound, eyes narrowing. "Are you there kitty?" The lid was held up defensively and Flora prepared to shout out her attack when she caught sight of it. "Well if you don't mind, Sir Castor," she said to the super sailor scout behind her, "how would you like helping to take down a cat youma?" Having help would at least, assure her that if her attack didn't work as well again, he could take care of it.
Come to think of it, she should have probably gotten Pegasus to do this with her. Ah well, what's done was done.

"Man, I was going to guess flowers, but, hey spring seems more kickass." Another meow made Castor turn. "Kicking some youma's a**? Why, my fair lady, allow me to be your knight in shining armor this evening?" He left it as a question rather then statement. Some senshi, (like Nemesis), might not appreciate his tone. It was also interesting to note Castor gave an over the top bow, taking his eyes off of the alley before them.
Bad idea.
It was a bad idea for the simple reason it allowed said youma cat to emerge from the shadows, and boy, it looked pissed. It's teeth were now in a seriosuly bad overbite, and it's claws were more like talons. Not to mention it might have gotten a bit bigger since it's times compared to a tricycle.
"Meeooooowww...." It's cry was like nails on a chalkboard, making Castor flinch as he resumed standing. "That's our cat I assume?"

"Oh right, throwing flowers at a youma does it a whole lot of good." Flora said lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Though, she could really see how she was being mistaken for senshi of flowers, with her fuku being decorated like so. "I don't think I would be considered as a damsel in distress, but well, can't let you stand by and do nothing, right, Sir Castor?" She would have laughed at his exaggeration (Seriously, he was really FAMILIAR) but she was distracted by the loud yowl and the appearance of the cat youma.
...It was huge. Larger than when she had last seen it.
"s**t." She muttered, readying the trash can lid. "Yes. I just wonder if Astraea would get insulted by the Negaverse creating a cat youma." A wry smile accompanied this comment and the cat hissed at her again. "Oh look, you remember me, kitty!"
The youma drew closer to the two and Flora instinctively stepped back. "So uh, Sir Castor, what can you do again?"

Watching the cat, he was a bit taken aback by the level of calm his fellow senshi was showing. "Astraea would just say how it's be an improvement to the normal youma or something. Hell If I know. Flora was it? Well..." the cat hissed and flicked it tail, almost as if it was biding its time. "...I can call down hail. And not the tiny kind. The kind that can break bones and leave you with some nasty cuts." The youma hissed again, beginning to stalk it's way towards the duo.
"...Speaking of which...STINGING STORM!" As hail began to fall, converging where the youma stood, the hail landed into the earth with a light 'thunk'.
Castor had missed.
"s**t!" As he cursed the cat was now running at the two, aiming in this case for Flora.

"Nice." She said. It sounded like his attack would do a lot more damage than hers would, and she would probably be better off just letting him do it. However, though the hail looked pretty damaging, the cat had dodged it and was running. Heading for her.
Now would have been a good time to panic, but they were senshi. Superheroes. They were supposed to fight the youma, not run away screaming from it. "You already scratched me the last time." She scowled at the youma. "Not gonna let that do that again!" And then she brought the trash lid right down on the head, but the only satisfying result was the loud 'clank' it made; the cat youma spat and with a swipe of a paw, it clattered to the ground a distance away.
"Flora Pollen Fever!" The girl senshi decided to launch her attack. While it might not do anything poisonous, it certainly would distract the youma as the pollen got up its nostrils. Unfortunately, as it started sneezing, it swiped at her again and scratched her leg (again!) and she hopped back, wincing in pain. "Can you do something like that again, or do we have to run?"
This was harder than she thought it would be.

As the cat attacked, Castor's immediate reation was to defend. However, he failed to take into account this was a youma cat and defending only did you so much good. "s**t, hang on!" Giving the cat a swift kick, sending it a bit aways, Castor took the opportunity to get between it and Flora.
On it's second rush, Castor was ready. "Don't worry. I've got this." Giving her a wink, the youma jumped, ready to claw at whatever it could hit.
Thankfully Castor's fist was waiting. "HEAVEN'S FURY!" The swift uppercut was met with a sickening sound of something breaking as the ice covered fist shattered on contact, sending shards of ice both into the cat, and into Castor's arm. "AH!" Wincing he pulled his arm back as the youma flew into a wall. Hopefully, it was dead.
"So uh..." As the ice melted, Castor's arm was shown to have tiny cuts along his forearm, a result from using the attack it seemed. "...Does your Knight in Shining Armor get a reward fair maiden?"

Ouch.
That had got to hurt.
For both sides; although she knew she shouldn't feel pity for something on the side of the Negaverse who had managed to scratch her two times, she still winced as it was slammed into the wall. Nevertheless, she turned her attention to the other senshi, looking concerned. Without any warning, she grabbed his wrist and started towards the opening of the alley. "I'm supposing you mean a First Aid kit." Both of them needed it anyway. "So Sir Castor, would you kindly please power down?"
As she said this, she concentrated on being Eve Summers again. It wouldn't be good to rush into a pharmacy in senshi guise. Who knew how many civilians in Destiny City still believed they were the good guys?

Wincing at the movent, Castor reluctantly let himself be dragged. However, at the mention of first aid, he wanted to laugh. Was she dense, or, maybe his tactics were lacking either way. "I don't think we have the same views of what is a reward." Gingerly he flexed his cut up hand. Many of the cuts were superficial and had stopped bleeding, but, none the less, they stung. The ice had already melted away too, which did mean he wouldn't have to worry about picking out glass like shards from skin.
Well...now or never. Grabbing Flora with his good hand, Castor used the other to block her in against the wall. "I think I'll need to show you the proper knightly reward." Slamming his lips down, he focused on turning back into Elzo.
He also made sure his legs were crossed. Experience. It was a harsh teacher.

Flora didn't have time to properly voice an objection, she simply let out a muffled squeak as his lips met hers. Blue eyes blinking in confusion, she almost considered slamming her knee into his balls, but hey, he was a senshi, and he kind of saved her life, so she settled for changing back into Eve Summers for now.
With that, she then placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed him away, about to admonish him, though her mouth dropped at Castor's transformation back into his civilian self. No wonder he was so familiar... "Elzo?" An eyebrow rose up as she stared at him. "Woah, are you really taking the knight in shining armor thing that seriously?"

When she didn't fight him, he had to grin a bit. Just a bit. It was kind of nice. So, as she pushed him away, he was perfectly okay, a smile on lips and mouth ready to compliment her in the ways only Elzo could.
Until he opened his eyes and heard his name.
He had never given her his name.
And she knew it.
WHAT.
"Eve?" Elzo's smile was gone, all witty sexual banter lost. He just stood there, mouth slightly agape. He blinked as shook his head, as if it wasn't happening. "Eve....OH GOD." The realization of his actions hit him. He'd kissed Eve. Eve, his brother's PROM DATE. Eve, the relatively sane Crystal girl who he might have considered his 'friend who happened to be a girl...friend'.
"Sorry, god...ugh. And no...the Knight thing. Gimmick. Just..aw, sorry. If I knew I wouldn't have tried. Not that you aren't attractive but...You're going to be my bro's date for Christ's sake just..." he groaned. "Sorry."

She was staring at him in mild horror not because of the whole 'I kissed my prom date's brother'; it didn't honestly bother her much because she knew he didn't mean anything serious by it. It was because that he was a senshi and the realization of his 'love problems', and how clear it seemed now. "Nah, it's okay, I just..." She waved away the apology dismissively. "Don't worry, I won't tell Marlo."
"Do you mean to tell me you're in love with someone from the Negaverse?" She grabbed his arm and continued walking, hissing this into his ear. Who knew if Astraea would be lurking around in the shadows. She certainly didn't want to face the cat if so. Eve didn't doubt that she would so mad at Elzo that she would be like the youma cat they just defeated.
