For once, Sailor Themis was actually looking for a fight. ******** his broken arm, ******** having to heal, ******** his complete good damn lack of being able to do anything correctly at all ! He wanted a fight, and he wasn't letting go before having it.
He probably couldn't take on a youma by his lonesome, but he couldn't care less - the part of his brain that did most of the thinking had flown to Hawaii. He'd officially entered shaky hate spiral, and he needed to punch something.
Even though the look on his face was perfectly calm. His eyes, however, told another story - too narrow, and if it was possible for blue eyes to smolder, they'd be doing exactly that.
He didn't need to look long - there was a youma right when he turned the corner, and the fleeing civilians didn't seem to take much notice of him as they fled the large, dog-like creature - it looked like it was made of shifting shadows.
Themis didn't care - his valid hand caught a trash can cover, and it flew though the air like a freesbee, hitting the youma straight in between the eyes.
The message was very clear - Fight me, dipshit.

She'd been among the civilians who 'fled'...but really it was less to save her hide as much as it was to Hide to save... She expected to have to chase the monster, not to find someone else already hurling trash can lids at it.
"I hope you don't mind company!" She called to the young man with the broken arm, though his other arm's aim was damn good all things considered.
"BAD BLOOD!" She called pricking her finger to send a small torrent of the dreadful little crimson needles to pepper it's hide. If the trash can lid hadn't aggravated it, they would have.

Oh, he didn't mind company - though he probably wouldn't be the most talkative company ever, at least not yet. Not while he was still seeing red.
Her attack did have him pause, though - she... needed to bleed to attack ? That was something new.
He wasn't the only thing that was pissed off, through - the youma snarled, and then went right for the biggest irritant - which, at the moment, happened to Mu Cephei.
"Watch out !" He called, maybe a little more sharply than he usually did, and lacking an undertone of panic. Instead, he charged the youma, punching it. He wasn't going to let a teammate injure itself. Not again.
He punched blindly, though, and didn't quite hit where he should have. The beast snapped its jaws at him, and he only narrowly avoided having his broken arm chomped on.

"Here!" She told him yanking free one of her hairpins, it was solid and long with a tapered point, breakable ultimately but still sharp and a good back up.
"Aim for the eyes if you can!" She told him "Sometimes that helps!"
She leaped backwards from the charging beast landing with some instability to do heels but pinched her finger again to draw more blood.
"BAD BLOOD RIBBONS!" She called and rather than needles, a thin wire or whip of red unfurled and lashed across it with a thin crack sound, in its wake it left razor like cuts.

And then he was handed a stabby object. Honestly at this point he was more than happy to take it - he didn't really feel like explaining her that he couldn't use his one and only attack because it was too painful to raise his arm high enough.
He didn't get the time to thank her, though - the youma was snapping at him again, and his first reflex was to kick the huge jaws away rather than use said stabby object.
Her second attack left him with the opening that he needed, though, and he lunged - aiming for the eye, and managing to hit the creature's left - the hairpin did snap under the force he'd used to drive it in, which was probably a little excessive - he'd apologize later. For now, though, the youma did not appreciate all these cuts and assaults - and Themis was met with a tail whip that sent him flying, though he managed to flip in mid-air in order not to land on his obviously wounded right arm.
He was on his feet again quickly enough, but with him out of the way, the youma was now going for Mu.

She yanked out one of her other hair pins and jumped as high as she could, she landed with some difficulty drilling her booted heels into it creature before she slipped half hooked on it in a poor looking straddle before she slammed the hairpin into its other eye with a grunt of effort. It was less than ladylike but she had no time just now to worry about it. She was far too close to its claws and teeth.

And now they had a very blind, and very angry youma who wanted nothing more than to eat their faces. The beast snarled, and then snapped it's teeth blindly as to where he could feel the senshi of blood on its back.
Themis wasn't so keen with letting his current teammate have her face eaten, though - he armed himself with a metal pole he found in one of the trash can and was now beating the s**t out of the monster as well as a boy fighting with his non-dominant hand could.
This would be so much easier if he could just have distracted it and let the other senshi beat the s**t out of it - though, well, in a way he was glad to be getting to beat the s**t out of something. Wonderful stress relief, that. And the adrenaline was a wonder at making him not feel like complete crap over the multiple bruises he'd gotten in the last few days. His arm had, thankfully, stopped hurting a long time ago.

"My KINGDOM for an attack that did more than SUPERFICIAL WOUNDS" She groused to no one in particular. She struggled to get a grip on the creature so she could do something that might seem strange, rocking back, using its shoulders as a seat she tried to bring her heels crunching down on the back of it's neck. Surely that would at least have a more satisfactory effect than her own attacks, and involve less stabbing herself in the finger.

Oh, he understood that particular frustration. How many time had he thought something similar ? Well, more along the lines of an attack that actually did more than confuse his opponent and had him completely still.
Though right now, his mental grumblings were more along the lines of 'my kingdom for an attack'. Plain and simple. That had to be the most creative use of heels that he'd ever seen, though.
In between MuCephei's heel stabbing and Themis smacking the youma with his pole, they were gaining headway - one last hard smack broke the beast's neck, and it all poofed into dust.
And MuCephei landed right on Themis. What a gentlemen.
"Ooph..." Still, even while face down on the pavement, the first thing that came to his mind was : "Are you okay ?"
((IM SORRY, I HAD TO. XDDDD))

"OH! Goodness! I am so sorry!" She flustered, probably a little funny given that they had just shared time beating hair pins into a yoma.
"Is your arm alright? Oh! Yes! I...I'm very well thank you!" She said returning to lady like proper manners and then crinkled her nose and sighed and offered him a hand up as she carefully freed herself of him and straitened her skirt. "Here...I'm so sorry about that, You did very well though for someone with a broken arm!"
"Super Sailor MuCephei, senshi of blood." She added and curtsied as soon as he had his feet.

"Im fine." He answered her, looking down and rolling up his sleeve. The cast was covered in child-like drawings in metallic ink, but more importantly, it was in one piece. "And my arm's good."
His valid hand caught her's, then, and he was back on his feet. "Yeah, that... was probably stupid of me to rush into a youma alone like that." He didn't really feel like explaining himself as to why he'd done it, though. Youma beatdown was pretty damn therapeutic, though, and now he was, for the most part, a decent human-being again.
"So... I guess I owe you a hairstick ?" Well, maybe they just came back ? No matter how dirty his coat got, it always came back pristine when he powered up next. Who knew who all that worked. "Sailor Themis." He introduced himself in turn. "Senshi of Noise. I, uh, have to use my right arm to do my attack." He explained. "It didn't work too hot last time I tried, so..."

"Oh!" She said and laughed, a pretty little sound and shook her head. "Not at all, its not the first time I've broken them, actually the first time I stabbed a yoma with one I was pretty desperate, needles do so little when they have -body- armor." She shook her head with a small sigh.
"You should keep in touch with your Doctor though!" she said sounding chipper and unabashedly put a hand on his cast. "It seems we heal juuuust a little faster than most people, It's one of the few perks of the job." She nodded.
"You -should- make sure you have someone with you though." She said with a more serious frown, she looked somehow like a victorian librarian the way she did it, clipping the heels of her boots together and wagging one gloved finger at his nose before letting the smile return to her face.
"But...I'm out tonight looking for people who are out alone... would you mind if I patrolled with you? We can make sure no one else needs our help."

Holy s**t, she had the perfect pissed off librarian look. He thought that sort of thing took years of experience to master.
"I know." He admitted, a little embarrassed. Bell... Well, Bell had her own problems. And he hadn't even thought about Tallulah or Lily, to be honest.
"Sure." He nodded, and then seemed to remember something as an afterthought - and he took out his cellphone to scan her.
When that was done, they started their patrol.
"I know about the whole healing thing." He answered her. "I had a pretty nasty bruise on my face, and it just kind of... went away really quickly. Im gonna see if I can get a doctor to see me maybe a week before it's supposed to come of.,, Does that sound about right ?" She would know better than him, after all. Maybe Xander would be able to help him with that...

"That sounds good." She nodded looking thoughtful. "I have not yet had the misfortune to have broken anything yet...so I can't say for sure." She shook her head. "But I did have some bruises fade VERY fast, which was very good, I had to wear high collars to school for a week." She shuddered remembering the fight that had lead her to be 'Super'.
She didn't feel very super that was for certain, she was still grappling with the seriousness of her situation.
Every day though it became more and more real to her, and she wasn't sure if that was a blessing or a curse.

"I havn't had bruises in places that were really visible before I broke my arm, so I guess I was lucky ?" No one had asked any questions, either.
Of course, being clothed from the neck down helped. If he'd been awakened in summer, well...
Themis stopped for a moment, then carefully launched himself on top of a dumpster, and then making his way to the roof. He liked having vantage point when patrolling - it was easier to spot youma that way. Well, and to avoid civilians. Staying out of streets had been drilled into him pretty damn early.
"But then I had to be an idiot and break my arm." Hopefully she wouldn't ask how he broke his arm... because it was pretty embarrassing.
