Prompt Late one night, you find yourself in a fairly under populated area of town. You’ve been strangely alone for the past few moments when you see movement out of the corner of your eye. Only a few yards away you see a young woman with tear-stained cheeks and a long white gown. It is difficult to make out any more details; she seems to be running from something. She looks like she is screaming but makes no sound; even her footsteps seem to be silent. If you try to chase her, you will wind up in a dead end—alone, and suddenly, cold. It feels like something has slammed into you and turned your blood to ice, but there’s no one around. No matter what you do, the chill remains until morning—but the image of the woman’s fear-filled face may haunt your dreams for much longer.
Patrolling was about the only thing Duhr was up to nowadays, but she didn't mind it. It gave her an opportunity for fresh air, a chance for some late night snacks and, every now and again, the good feeling that came with helping out a person in need.
And, judging by the horrific expression on the lady in white running past her--- whoops, now yards ahead of her --- Sailor Duhr was going to get herself another chance for that good 'ol feeling.
"Hey, ma'am - wait up!" Blonde curls bounced as she chased after the strange figure who, for whatever reason, was runnin' really, really fast, "Whatcha runnin' from?"

She had been minding her own business when the lady in white with tears all down her face came running past her. Jade eyes fixated on the open mouth with the soundless scream when she passed and she stumbled backwards, nearly tripping on her hair with her heart pounding in her chest.
What the heck was that?
Her nose wrinkled and she chewed on her lips while trying to figure out what she was going to do. There were two options. One: follow the lady and figure out what the heck was going on to make her look so frightened and teary eyed. The second sounded more promising, to just keep her head down and move on like she hadn't seen anything but...
What if she needed her help.
Without another thought, and a VERY heavy sigh, Hydra was chasing after her. "Hey wait!"

The lady ducked into a nearby alleyway just in time for Duhr to hear a vaguely familiar voice call out to the stranger. She turned, ringlets tossing over her shoulder with the gesture, and blue eyes narrowed at who she noticed coming up from behind.
It was none other than that stinkin' good for nothin' starseed toucher.
"You."
She didn't even waste time with banter, not this time. Instead, hands clapped together and formed her finger gun, Duhr muttering her command as wind began to sweep around her feet, collecting leaves and debris along the way.
"You can't be goin' around and just touchin' people like that. Ain't right, lady."

The mass of blonde curls were the first thing that she saw when she rounded the corner and Hydra audibly groaned at the sight of purple and white.
Not again.
"What did you do to her?" She shouted just in time to realize what the senshi was saying.
What.
Did she?
No--
"At least I don't go around terrorizing people!" She huffed, frustrated that the girl was implying that she'd do something as horrendous as that without probable cause.
What a bully.
Jade eyes widened at the sight of the pointing and the way wind began to swirl around. Oh heck no. If the blonde's magic was anything like her own...maybe she could...Hydra didn't waste any more time thinking before she was racing forward, head lowered and her arms opening to tackle the blonde.

"What did you do to her?"
Wait, what?
Duhr blinked for a moment. Did the senshi actually think that she did something to that lady? Wasn't she the one who had done something?
"Wait, what are you talkin' abou---"
She had just enough time to process the accusation flying in her direction before the weight of a fully grown woman plowed into her torso. Hands broke apart and the wind diminished, the senshi of tornadoes toppling backwards with the weight of the younger girl on top of her.
Fists immediately went out and began to thrash, knees jutting upward as she did her best to pry the other girl from off of her. Like hell she was gonna let this shrimp try to take her seed again!
"Ugh, Ah didn't scare the woman - didn't you??"

There were elbows and knees and grasping hands going this way and that as they grappled on the ground. Hydra knew that her opponent had the upper hand when it came to a tussle like this, but she had to try.
Her hand was pushing the blonde's cheek into the ground, trying to get her away and off of her when the words registered. Immediately she stilled, blinking as she sat up, straddling Duhr.
"What are you talking about?" Her disbelief was prevalent. "I thought you made her cry!"
After all, the woman passed her first then the senshi.
"You came up right after her!"

A chill snaked through the older senshi as her fists stilled from their fury.
"Wait..."
Her brain took a moment to process things. "If you didn't scare her and Ah didn't scare her..."
Oh lord. Then there was something else out there that was terrifying at least one poor, unfortunate woman!
One lacy gloved hand moved to roughly shove the green haired girl away as the blonde scrambled to balance herself back to her feet. For all she knew, she could be messin' around with the wrong person and someone else could be really gettin' hurt!
Practically bulldozing her way towards the alley, Duhr only paused at the mouth of the entrance as she stared down the dark shadows that rested between the two large buildings.
There wasn't anything there.
The wall was far too big for anyone to be climbing over it... and she was fairly certain that there wasn't no way the lady'd have come out and run past them while they were wrestling either....
"Ain't nothing there," she gawked quietly.

"Ooof."
Hydra was shoved off of the blonde with a thud and she sat there for a moment, confused as to why the scuffle had suddenly ended. Hadn't Miss Wrassle been really aggressive before--
Oh.
Realization dawned on a pale face before she was clambering to her feet and chasing after the senshi. "Wait!" She was only a few steps behind when she had to skid to a halt. The woman was gone but...there was no where to go.
"W-what?" Her voice came out meeker than she would have liked and jade eyes were wide with concern. Hydra shivered. "Where did she go?"

The chill that had run down the tornado senshi's spine lingered, finding a home within her bones as she stared at the vacant alleyway. There... there wasn't any way to explain the woman's disappearance. Sure, she'd looked a little funny and all, but she was clearly terrified out of her wits....
And now she was plain gone.
"Ah don't know if your people had anything to do with this," she growled under her breath, turning to stare down the shorter girl, "But if I find her and she tells me y'all did, Ah'm gonna clock your lights out myself. Got it?"
Without giving the nega-senshi time to respond, Duhr shoved her way past and hurried her way down the sidewalk, off in search of the missing woman.

October sucked as far as the super senshi was concerned and she stood there, barely registering what the moonie was saying to her.
There hadn't been any other aura, there was no way someone could have popped in and swept her away but...what other explanation was there?
Hydra swayed on her feet and closed her eyes before she let the teleportation take over and whisk her away.
Duhr could look for the woman, but she wouldn't find Hydra.
