Snippet #2765667

After Voidy had left, Cu Chulainn emerged from the shadows where he had hidden himself.

Shame. I'd have liked to spear her. Always acting like she's so much better than us.

Now's not the time dear, we have to meet up with the new recruit. The two set off to Dani's house to prepare the final stage of their plan. A rogue Aetherkin spotted them, sprinting at Red while screaming, Death to the matriarchy! Fast as lightning, Red's hand shot out and tore the mask from his face, leaving a rattled teenager staring at her with inhuman fear. "I...I-I, the mask told me you were evil, that I had to kill you."

Of course darling, every villain is the hero of their own story, go home. If a masked woman tries to teleport you through a black hole, try to run. She is evil and will likely kill you. If you cant run, fight back tooth and nail sweetheart. Make sure everyone knows this. This happened a few more times, Cu Chulainn and Red fighting in tandem to stop whatever was thrown at them, until there were a dozen people spreading Red's contrived rumor.

Red's small army had restrained the teenager and were currently waiting for her return. By now, the house was a veritable fortress, windows boarded up and reinforced, doors with barricades set against all but one of them. Even the front door was ready to be barricaded, and various traps had been set up in the house.

One would think they were preparing for war, which they certainly may have been. Red strode through the door, taking care not to set off any of the various trigger that would kill her should their payload be sprung. Laying on the couch was an unconscious man, Lugh's new host. Red laid a hand on his head, and let the process continue while she left for the kitchen.

Taking off the mask, Dani found her parents had prepared a late lunch for her. "Mum! You're such a good cook, how come you never used to cook before!?"Haha, years of practice my sweet, and I was always too busy before. Now come, eat before it gets cold, cutiepie.
