Training had been pretty tough with Parthenope lately. That b*****d was relentless! However, for some reason or another, he wasn't able to meet up tonight, which meant that Iris had more energy than usual. After essentially draining herself completely each night, this change was pretty welcome.
Rather than think through what she was going to do with all of that energy, she decided to patrol. Patrolling the city by herself. It wasn't exactly like Metis or Irene were the sorts who patrolled at any hour of the night. And both Hygiea and Egeria had bedtimes, meaning they were practically useless. The blonde had decided that the only one she could rely on was herself. Me, myself, and I.
Though most senshi patrolled from the rooftops, it wasn't something that Iris ever really did. Every so often, she'd force herself up to a higher vantage point, but it was never her cup of tea. She was fine just patrolling the street levels. After all, the victims the youma found usually were on the ground level, not on the rooftops. And the petty thieves were usually down there too. In general, life was more exciting (in her opinion) by keeping to the streets.

Lieutenant Labyrinthite was not the type of guy to sit around and do nothing, no ever since he made the drastic change to his civilian life he was the type of individual who preferred to keep busy. Actually, he thrived on having something to do or to have his hands full. So when his shift at the coffee shop ended he took his leave and ducked into the first empty street he could find. Standing behind a dumpster on the off chance someone would wander by he powered up, grinning as he felt the power of the negaverse course through his veins.
He flexed his fingers before stretching his arms above his head. Twisting his body he stepped backwards, tilting his head back to study the distance to the top of the roof. Wasting no more time he sprung forward, leaping on the dumpster before propelling himself into the air and onto the rooftop.
He wasn't sure why but the boy much preferred traveling by rooftops, despite the seemingly increased senshi activity upon them, to walking the streets. It gave him a bird's eye view, allowing him to spot a possible threat before they saw him. Sensing the different auras was a good way to know when someone else was in the area but even then it didn't tell him exactly where they were.
He didn't like it when the odds were in someone else's favor.
He strolled across the roof casually, seeming to be in no hurry, picking up speed only when it was time to jump across to another rooftop. It wasn't long before he was in a close enough vicinity to feel the sparkling aura of a eternal senshi, he paused wearing a deep frown as he attempted to look around him and spot her.
He came to stand at the edge of his roof before he saw her, he took a moment to crouch as he tried to get a better look at her. It was the dimly lit rainbows that alerted him to who she was and his expression visibly darkened as his hand wrapped around the area her rainbow whip had scarred.
This was the senshi he had been looking for since he had been corrupted.
He had half a mind to leap off the tower and attack her but he knew it would be foolish. She was a good two levels above him in power, it was likely that he didn't even stand a chance against her at this time. So instead he called out to her, curious as to what she would do and more importantly who she was.
"Yo, senshi!"

The eternal senshi had been around a long time. She knew how to sense when the Negaverse was nearby. Long before she was addressed from the rooftops, she had felt his approach. The energy he exerted was dark, but rather small, which was common for someone who was a Lieutenant. Most times, those Lieutenants steered clear of her. Iris had always assumed it had something to do with the energy she was exerting. It just meant those Lieutenants were pussies. Pure and simple.
It did manage to somewhat catch her by surprise that this Lieutenant not only followed her, but seemed to be trying to catch her attention. He was ballsy or an absolute idiot. Or perhaps a combination of both. One thing was for certain, he wasn't worth using any magic with.
Turning to where the voice had called from and looking up towards where that weak energy signal was coming from. The way she looked at him almost seemed dangerous. "Ya got some balls, gotta say that much, Lieutenant!"

Labyrinthite had always been ballsy, he considered it to be one of his better attributes. Even if it did get him into quite a bit of trouble, but he thrived on mischievous behavior on the thrill that trouble brought him. So he laughed when she yelled at him, laughed at the way she looked at him even as he opted to sit on the edge of the roof, one foot propped up so he could drape an arm over it and lean forward.
He wore a cheeky grin as his amber eyes watched her curiously. "Can't help it," he called back leaning farther forward, the palm of his other hand resting between his legs gripping the edge of the building. "What's life worth if you don't live on the edge a little don't you think?" He asked, his tone too cheerful. Forcefully so.
"What? Don't find it cute?" He asked feigning a frown as he awaited her reaction. From their previous meeting, one the senshi wasn't aware of not with this side of him, he had gathered that she was rough around the edges. Definitely not a girly-girl but he was oh-so curious to how she treated people from the other side. People that she considered bad guys, even when they weren't outright assaulting her.
No, the lieutenant had no intention of attacking the eternal senshi. Not tonight, he wouldn't stand a chance and he preferred to go the night without any damage. Tonight was just for taunting and information gathering. Or that was the plan.

Biting her tongue. It was something she really didn't know how to do. The moment even a hint of this thought came to mind, she was already in the middle of saying it.
"Yer contradictin' yerself. Livin' on th'edge ain't 'cute'... dipsh*t!"
Though she wanted to squint, she forced herself to keep her minimal glaring somewhat constant. However, he was on a rooftop, and she was not. He hadn't done anything yet that she could see, but that didn't mean she didn't want to beat him up. Put him on the ground and she would have been rushing that jackass faster than he could sayNegaverse.
The distance and the lack of lighting made it hard to see every fine detail, but as she kept looking, she seemed to finally notice something.
"...is yer f*ckin' hair PINK?!"

"Depends on who you're talking to," he replied easily unbothered by her insult. "But if you don't like cute, is attractive better?" He asked tilting his head as if he actually considered what she thought. He didn't, because as far as he could tell she was pretty unattractive, personality wise and she was a senshi which was probably the biggest turn off ever.
"Yep!" he replied cheekily grabbing the front of the pink of his hair and tugging on it a bit. "Like it?" He joked, laughing a bit even as she shook his head. "You know, tough guys wear pink, even tougher guys flaunt the pink...sometimes," he told her gesturing to the pink that littered his uniform before pointing to his hair again. "Though maybe it is time for a change," he commented thoughtfully as he looked up at the sky briefly before looking back down at the senshi.
"What do you think about blond? Since you're a blond and you flaunt a lot of it on your...uniform," he frowned crinkling his nose in distaste. "But you do have some rainbow on you, have any good color suggestions?" he asked, though he had no intention of following any should she actually give him some. And he couldn't actually see much of the rainbow on her uniform, he was mostly going off of what he remembered from that night.
She probably thought he was a complete and utter fool, which was fine and dandy to him. It'd probably give him the upper hand later.

She might have had a response to his word substituttion, but the moment he went off on the color pink, the senshi was laughing her a** off. She had heard the excuse many times before in high school. The "tough guys wear pink" bullsh*t. Her response would always be the exact same.
"That's a f*ckin' excuse if I ever heard one! Yer a f*ckin' f** is more like it!" There was honestly no way she could take this guy seriously now. She could probably just slap him away like some pesky insect, and he'd go home limping to his Mommy.
Normally, she'd take offense to a guy pointing out her rainbows, but considering the can of worms that the Lieutenant had opened, she couldn't take his words as insults now. She managed to say between hearty chuckles "Oh... I bet ya like yer rainbows!!" He already liked pink enough to dye part of his hair pink, so she could definitely imagine him making that area rainbow colored too.

He didn't truly believe in the "tough guys wear pink" mantra that many liked to flaunt, he just happened to like the way it meshed with the black of his hair. As for his uniform, well he did not have much say in the matter so he didn't seem to care one way or another how much pink adorned it. No, he was rather content with how it looked and how he sported it. But contrary to the senshi's belief Lieutenant Labyrinthite did not play for the other team.
No, definitely not he much preferred girls to boys but she probably would not believe him. Nor did he care, if it made her think him to be a joke then all the better.
"Ah, perhaps," he replied pretending to thoughtfully consider her words. "Is the senshi upset because I might fancy boys more than her?" He taunted knowing she didn't care. "Maybe, though the rainbows look much better on you," he cooed dropping his leg down and propping his elbows on his knees so he could lean farther forward and get a better look at her. "Do tell me, who are you any how? Never did get a chance to catch your name sweetheart," he flashed his teeth at her in a wide sideways grin as he swung a leg back and forth.

"Oh yeah... soooooo upset that ya crave d**k so badly!!!" she laughed out. The way he spoke only seemed to further egg her on in laughter. Seriously? What the hell sort of teenager "fancies" another person these days? Apparently the same sort of guy who likes his color pink! It made it really hard to take his comments on her fuku seriously. Now she only imagined him being jealous, wishing he was dressed just the same.
It wasn't something she put much thought into, censoring her own mind from seeing something as horrific as a guy cross-dressing wearing her already gaudy fuku. She didn't need to mentally scar herself for life or anything.
She almost missed him asking her name. Almost. She had to get herself to stop laughing long enough to respond, which was a bit hard because she needed to gasp for breath a bit after all that laughing. However, when she was able to find her voice again, she was certain to disappoint.
"Like I'd f*ckin' tell a fairy like yerself... however... don't go callin' me 'sweetheart,' dipsh*t." That was about as much of a warning as he was going to get.

He rolled his eyes as she continued on tangent proclaiming him to be so proudly gay. Ah, well, it was of no matter though it was a shame she could not see his facial expression. It was one of mere amusement. He was, however, disappointed when she refused to give him her name though simply because it would better provide him with a way to gather information on her.
Well, he was sure he could find out one way or another.
"No? Shame," he fake sighed deeply as though he was almost offended but her rebuke. "I do think that if I was a fairy I'd have wings eh? Though I doubt they'd be on my butt like yours," he let out a laugh as he stood up on his rooftop. He'd probably only cemented the fact that he was gay to her based upon his observances on her uniform but he didn't care.
He could tell that she couldn't take him seriously and he was sure that soon enough it would come to his advantage which was nearly as useful as her name would have been.

Yup, this guy was definitely gay. He knew about fairies and their distinguishing features. Yup, totally 100% bonified gay. In a scoffing tone, she hollered in his direction "Like I'd f*ckin' know what fairies do!! That's somethin' I ain't ever bothered t'learn 'bout! That sh*t's all made up!"
It was also gay, but this was something she already established in the back of her head.
Despite her proclamation just a few seconds ago, she then called out to him with a nickname that just seemed to come to her. "So, Lieutenant Fairy! Are ya only 'ere t'talk? I woulda thought ya had more balls than that. After ya goin' outta yer way t'find me an' all..." She grinned before she then gestured for him to get closer. It wasn't like this would be a challenge for her. She'd probably be able to take him out with a few punches.

He simply cocked a brow in reply, sorely disappointed that in the dark she could hardly see his face, let alone his expressions. Ah, well it was probably for the best. "Is it? After all magic was supposed to be nothing but a myth and yet, here we are. Here you are," he pondered aloud slowly picking himself up to stand. He brushed off his pant legs casually before folding his hands together and holding them behind his head. He let out a yawn like he was bored.
He listened with interest as she tried to goad and bait him into descending and engaging in a fight. He was sorely tempted, sitting and talking could be quite boring especially when there was a score to settle but Labyrinthite was a smart kid, he knew that as a lieutenant he stood little to no chance against what appeared to be a seasoned eternal. No, he wasn't quite ready.
Soon though, soon.
"Ah, sorry but not tonight, perhaps another time?"

The blonde was a bit slow to pick up on things, however, now she seemed to manage to piece together at least one insult. He was insinuating she was a fairy.
That one couldn't go unpunished. "No." Her voice was flat, but loud. "Not another time."
She tightened up a fist to her side, she shook her head. "...we're doin' this now..." Under her breath she uttered out the name of her attack, and soon enough a bright rainbow seemed to flutter from her fist.
There was no warning, and from where she stood, she swung her make-shift lasso towards the spot where the Lieutenant had been sitting on the roof.

He couldn't say he was surprised when suddenly the rainbow slinging eternal decided that tonight would be a great time to duke it out. He shook his head though even as he brought a hand up in a salute to her. Tonight would not be a battle between them, Labyrinthite liked to gamble on low odds but he was no fool. A battle tonight with this senshi, an obviously seasoned and definitely overpowered opponent, would quickly be a losing battle even with the training he had been getting.
"Sorry love, I don't think so," he called back even as her attack lashed out at him. He quickly dived off to the right, pulling himself into a quick tuck and roll. He coughed as he landed, crouched, from his poor landing. He clearly needed more practice, he barely avoided the attack. Ah, how he wished he could teleport, things would be so much easier.
"We'll be seeing each other," he promised even as he pushed himself and took off running in the opposite direction.

Moments ago she had been praising this boy for having balls.
Yet now, after he dodged and turned tail to run off via the roof tops, she shouted out one word on the top of her lungs. "COWARD!!!" Certainly, anybody who lived nearby was not appreciating the accusation being shouted out in the middle of the night.
Even with her higher rank, she wasn't going to be able to catch up with him. Rooftops were a much faster means of transportation. Iris knew this as a fact. It was something she always knew, yet avoided unless absolutely necessary.
With an angry snort, the girl let go of the rainbow, dismissing it completely upon opening her hand. "Yeah... see ya again... Fairy..."
