Ramshackle's Angel

Her body grew hotter as he now stood in front of her. She needed to calm down. NOW. Taking deep, calming breaths, she felt her body cool back to it's normal temperature. Hopefully it stays that way.

"There she is! Lorrie! Nice to see you again" he said with fake sincerity dripping from every word.

"Again. It's Lorelai, and... what brings you to my turf?" She asked, nervously.

"Oh nothing. Just came out to see your "passion project" at work." He looks around. "Looks good. Gotta say, I'm impressed."

She nervously nodded as she put her hands in the pockets of her oversized jacket. One hand wrapped around her dagger that she kept hidden. It made her feel a little bit better knowing that she had something that she could protect herself with because, lets face facts, she couldn't possibly beat him in a one-on-one fight. At least, not like this she couldn't.

"Heh....uh...thank you?"

He nodded before he swiftly grabbed and apple and whipped it against his jacket, making it shine a little.

"Also, I just came to tell you that your boy-toy got hit today" he added.

This made Lorelai roll her eyes.

"That's not really surprising, Ditch. He always gets hit like the rest of us. We're scraps after all" she told him before she turned her back to him.

"By a car."

This made her freeze. Her body boiled at the thought of him getting hit by some lootbags' fancy car.

"Wait...."

"WHAT?!?"

...

Running through the streets as fast as she possibly could, Lorelai prayed that Stone was okay. But she stopped as soon as she saw a huge crowd and heard Vinnie yell-

"I'VE ALWAYS HAD YOUR BACK, YOU UNGRATEFUL DWEEB!"

Confused, she pushes her way through the crowd. Once she got to the front, she saw Vinnie swinging her wooden sword at Stone like she was a real pirate, only to be headbutted in the chin.

"Oh boy..." she heard Skipp mutter as more and more people start to join in to see the fight.

"Seriously? How crazy are these people?" She questioned herself quietly.

More joined as she and Stone made eye contact for a brief second. She found it a little odd that he looked hot while fighting. the same feeling she felt when she saw him throw that bottle came back as her cheeks turned pink. Man, he was dangerous, and....in a non weird way....she kinda liked it. But then again, that's probably because she did grow up in a literal danger zone that explosions and fights happen daily in the streets.

Suddenly, without even thinking, she shouted "You got this, Stormcloud!"

This caused Stone to blush red at the sound of the nickname Lorelai gave him, giving Vinnie the opportunity to jump onto his back and start shoulder cracking him.

"How'd ya like that, huh?" She asked while laughing like a psychotic maniac.

As the fight continued, people started betting on who was going to win as Stone threw Vinnie off his back and onto the ground.

"I can fight" he told her with a cold look.

"UNFAIR! you know that messes me up!" Vinnie replied angerly, only for Stone to step on her face and elbow drop on her, causing a loud crunch.
