“What the hell, Ulrich?” One of the blondes yelled at him.
"Anybody else wanna find another way out?" Harley shook his head and jogged back to Anastasia's side, lifting her once more before following the rest out of the hole.
He drew upon whatever energy he had within himself and used it to form a protective bubble around him and Anastasia, letting them drift down safely and without doing any damage to the pair.
“Let's keep moving.” Another blonde encouraged them as the rest of them dropped to the ground, whilst the blonde who scolded the brute carried the red head off towards a large military truck.
"Where exactly are we heading to?" Harley asked, those that were still around him. Cautious not to trust them after what he just saw, if they were truly allies, and that's how they treated each other, how would they treat him and Anastasia, if they survived. "Do you even know where we are?"
Before he could get an answer, gunshots echoed from the truck and Harley's attention was drawn towards it as the redhead opened fire on the hole, covering the rest of them from the gathering soldiers. “Let’s go!!” Harley heard one of them shout and he looked at the others.
"Anywhere is better than here, I suppose." So Harley pushed himself as fast as he could to the truck, which would have been fine if he wasn't carrying Anastasia but he wasn't going to leave her and he still didn't trust their rescuers just yet.
He lifted Anastasia onto the truck and looked behind himself, a few of the rescuers were still behind and more soldiers had made it to the hole, more than the red head could pick off with the gun in her hand. Harley looked at his hand, he didn't know what his powers could do just yet, but he had to at least try and help them. So he summoned some more of the purple energy and threw it, guiding it with his hand towards the hole, it impacted with one of the soldiers and exploded outward, but instead of orange flame, it was bright purple plasma. The edges of the hole were melting and the surviving soldiers were screaming in agony as their armour was melted by the heat. "Oh my god." Harley muttered.
"God, I wouldn't be dating him if I thought we wouldn't be cute together." Gwen chuckled, she couldn't blame Jensen for not knowing they were together, they didn't exactly advertise it and Gwen wouldn't let him visit whilst she was away, she could only imagine her parents reaction if they found out she was dating the son of Zod.
After the bartender refilled Jensen's drink and provided Gwen with hers, Jensen turned to her and said,
"You're asking for big trouble there Gwen, but I'll take you on that bet." Jensen probably said it to dissuade her, but it only encouraged Gwen more to take the challenge, encouraging her to add her own twist of fun to the game by adding some never have I ever to it. "You're definitely in dangerous waters," Jensen then swigged her shot back without a flinch. "There's no way I'm tapping out, so you better be ready to haul my ass back to my apartment."
"So if I'm doing the hauling, does that mean you're gonna pass out first?" Gwen teased, with a dramatic sip of her daiquiri after the barman handed it to her and placed the shots down between the pair. Jensen took her jägerbomb and gestured her appreciation before necking it, and Gwen, not wanting to be showed up, threw the kamikaze back and swiftly followed it with her jägerbomb.
"I'll give you this, you know how to party." Gwen shrugged with a smile and gestured for the bartender to refill the jägerbombs. "I'll go first. Never have I ever... oh, frick. What do people even do these days? Smoke pot? Yeah, I've never done that." Gwen took a sip of her drink with a tilt of her head and squint of her eyes.
"Huh... Did not expect to be something you hadn't done." She then tapped her chin as she thought of her go. "Never have I ever done it in my parents house."
