A, Q, R, & E - Couple of Drunks
"Craaaaap, we gotta do this now? Of all times? I was just about to drink my hot chocolate!" Quick whined.
"Your hot chocolate was knocked over in the blast. You can avenge it if we leave now," Aella said with a straight face.
"Fine," Quick muttered before straightening herself up. "So now what."
"Well you're the brains of this operation. Are we still infiltrating the way we planned?" Quick shook her head.
"No. People could have been hurt in the blast. We'll go through the front door and get all the civis out. We need to gear up now and get in before first responders arrive." Aella bolted to the back room, but stopped when Quick tapped her foot, giving her an "are you serious" face.
"Oh, right," Aella chuckled sheepishly. Quick muttered a short spell and both girls were instantly outfitted in their combat gear. Quick had a sword strapped to her waist and a shield to her back while Aella had knives strapped to her hips and a bow lung across her back.
"Ready?" Aella questioned. Quick just nodded before throwing open the window facing the bar and jumping out with Aella close on her heels. They free fell for a few seconds before launching of the side of their apartment building and landing on top of a stop light. They quickly ran across the flimsy metal beam and landed in front of the bar. Quick went to kick the door open when Aella pulled her back.
"I don't think so! I'm going to sneak in and do a quick reconnaissance. I'll either yell for you or come get you myself depending on the situation. Quick reluctantly agree while Aella skulked around the corner and slid through a destroyed window into the far side of the bar. At first glance, it appeared that nobody was there. Which was surprising seeing as it was a Saturday night. Then she spotted a black haired girl unconscious on the ground a few feet away from a red haired girl who was bleeding from side of her head. Aella took a rapid glance around to make sure the coast was clear before yelling for Quick to come in.
Quick immediately burst in and found Aella tending to red's head wound.
"We don't have time for this, Aella! Just make sure she won't bleed out and leave them for the first responders!"
"That's not very nice," Aella chided. The two entered into a rapid fire argument that was getting more and more heated by the second. Quick wanted to get on with the mission while Aella wanted to make sure the two girls were ok.
While the two were fighting, the black haired girl slowly came back into consciousness. Despite how drunk she was, she knew that something had happened and something was going on. For all she knew, the bombers were standing over her. After taking a few seconds to gauge what was going on, she launched at Aella, taking her by surprise.
"Get aveay frm Emmmie," the girl slurred heavily. After taking a second to get over her shock, Quick grabbed the girl and hauled her off her partner. Not without any problems, however. The girl was strong and shockingly well coordinated for someone so obviously drunk.
"Hey, cut it out!" Quick shouted. "We're trying to help your friend!" The girl stopped struggling.
"Oh..." She went completely limp and slid out of Quick's arms with ease before standing straight and offering her hand.
"Sowry, Immm Rainnn...Ran...Rawn...I'm Reyna!" The girl struggled to get out but still had an extremely happy and innocent expression plastered on her face. "And dat's Eeeeemmmie!"
"How lovely, Aella muttered." A few seconds later, Emmie woke up and began bemoaning her wounded head. Once Quick and Aella realized the girls were ok, they started walking away.
"W-wait!" Reyna yelled. "Wair r u goin?" Quick sighed exasperatedly.
"To take down the cartel and figure out who bombed this place." Emmie seemed to perk up at the word "bomb."
"We'rrre comin too!" Aella just stared at them before saying. "No way. Not a damn chance. You both are drunk." Reyna sighed before looking at Emmie. Emmie paled.
"No," Emmie spit out. "No, no, nooo, I hate needles!"
"We have no choiwce," Reyna said before whipping out two syringes. She stabbed herself with one and injected the liquid into her blood. She gasped before becoming noticeable more stable. She cracked her neck and said,
"Sorry for what you're about to see..." Reyna stalked towards Emmie who screeched and ran to the corner, trying to crawl up the wall and into the rafters, but she was too drunk to get farther than halfway up so she ended up hanging from a beam just screaming. Reyna easily dragged Emmie down and injected her with the...something. Emmie stiffened and then moaned in annoyance before standing up and dusting herself.
"I hate being sober," she complained. Reyna just smiled smugly before addressing the mildly disturbed duo.
"Shall we go?"
"Uh, what was that stuff and what qualifies you to face off with a cartel?" Quick questioned in shock. Now it was Emmie's turn to smirk.
"That was a sobering serum and we are plenty qualified. We are both army members and we've seen much worse than a couple of drugged up retards."
