New Beginnings

Purple Woman (Part 2)

Previously...

"I can help with that."

Fire's ears shot up and she spun to face the direction of the voice, "Goldy!" A smile lit up her face, but it fell after a second, "You're not really here." It wasn't a question. It was a statement. Her ears went down again.

.o.0.o.

Danny shook his head apologetically, "I'm locked in, I had to fight just to latch onto your signatures. I don't know how long I'll be able to be out here."

He sighed and rubbed the side of his head, "I'm just glad I can get out for a few minutes, it's...too dark in there."

The wolf girl whined in the back of her throat, "Do you have any idea where you might be?" She scowled, "Or where the royal pain in the ass is?"

"I don't know where I am, all I know is that it's really dark; like the safe room," he shivered, "I heard air blowing, so I think there's a vent in there; unless they don't think I need to breath and I'm already hallucinating. Phantom...the last time I checked he was outside with the Purple Woman."

They all stiffened at that. Danny had a tendency to call anyone who is a liar purple; anyone who was supposed to protect and ended up being a betrayer like Afton.

"That means he could already be captured," Tucker said grimly.

Fire shook her head, "No, he's already captured." She rubbed the back of her head, "I can think of a few places he'd be, but only one involves him not getting tortured."

"The least likely place he would be then," Wes groused, "Nate, can you tell us where any storage closets would be?"

Danny closed his eyes and wrinkled his brow, "There's one about five feet away from my location, but I'm not sure if they will-" Danny's form went static and a red hand-print appeared on his face. He cringed before giving them a blank look.

"There is another closet by the torture chambers. That will be the likely place they will take me," he glitched again, "I must return, they demand that I awaken."

Fire's eyes flashed red as she grit her teeth, "I'll see you soon Goldy."

Her fur bristled up as he faded away and she blasted a tree, turning it to ashes. Wes scowled, fists trembling at his sides before he took a deep breath and calmed down,

"Fire will go after Phantom, I'll go after Danny. Sam will be on stand by to help us escape when we get them. If the loop doesn't work, Johnny will be outside creating a distraction, is that clear?" He gave them all a hard look, his eyes bright blue and demanding that there be no failure, "After that, Fire will burn it all to the ground; no. survivors."

The wolf girl straightened, eyes blazing, "You better get out fast." Her eyes narrowed as they went a little hazy, "I'm locking it all down the second I can."

"They'll pay for messing with our pack eh cousin?" Mikey said, grinning savagely with burning gold eyes.

She grinned at Mikey, "You better believe it Foxy."

O.o.O

Meanwhile, Phantom groaned as he came to, blinking around at the startling white before it dawned on him where he was.

His wrists were bound with phase proof rope and he was laying infront of a metal post. He sat up and looked around at the weapons and other instruments of torture, all either glowing green from ectorainium or red from blood blossom before shivering.

'I'm in one of the "play rooms"' he thought dryly, 'fan-fucking-tastic.' There was some shuffling from outside before the door opened and Xena stepped inside, slamming the door behind her.
