Everything Stays: In the Future

Dock Fight Part 1

Everyone stood in absolute stillness. Stark was being gripped by Clayton, the large Faunus man, and almost but not quite choking out the teenager. Ebony was slowly coming to from being knocked out by Vert, who was standing over the girl. Tealle was still in cover behind a warehouse, unseen by the rest of the gang members. Additionally, Nick was still in cover on the roof of a far warehouse. Tealle also noticed that the fuel cap was still open. She took aim at the tank but was still hesitant to do so.

Vert: This everyone?

Stark: Yep! Just me and the girl.

Clayton glared down at Stark. He pulled Stark up and then threw the teen into a container along the docks, forming a dent in the wall.

Stark: Nice arm. Though I think my mom's is better.

Auburn: Oh, sweet. We've got a shit-talker.

Auburn took out one of her pistols and held it up to Stark's chin.

Auburn: I can put your mouth to good use.

Stark: Thanks, but no thanks. You're just not my type, beautiful.

Auburn smirked a little and stood up, removing her gun from his chin. She then turned around only to kick Stark across the face.

Clayton: Must you be so brutal?

Auburn: Adds to the charm.

Auburn walks away and over towards Ebony. Clayton grabs Stark and drags him back to the ship's main dock. Ebony slowly sat up and shook herself. However, Vert grabbed her hair and pulled her up.

Vert: Hey, little one.

He laughed and threw Ebony down and into Stark, knocking the two of them onto the ground.

Clayton: Must you both-

Vert: It's fun! Take a joke, Kahn.

Clayton rolled his eyes. Meanwhile, Vert smirked and began to walk over towards the two teens. However, Auburn stops him and twirls her gun and aims it down at the two teens.

Auburn: I want to know how they knew we would be here. And how they knew that we would know something was up and made us late on purpose?

Vert: (leans over to Clayton and whispers) She knew that?

Clayton: No. We were actually behind schedule.

Vert: Ah!

Vert cracks his knuckles and walks over to the two. Stark gets in front of Ebony to keep her away from Vert. Vert laughed a bit to himself before walking down closer to the two. The two backed up so more.

Vert: Look. Auburn, Sweet Cheeks, who cares how the hell then knew. It wont matter once they're dead.

Stark: Well, that's awfully presumptuous of you.

Clayton: Someone, explain the big words to Vert.

Vert glared at Clayton who laughed a bit to himself with Auburn following suit. Vert rolled his eyes and refocused his gaze to the two teens. Stark peered over and saw Tealle, still in cover behind a container. The two lock eyes for a moment and then Stark nods, telling Tealle what to do now. She glances between the car and her boyfriend. She has a massive look of concern and worry over her face.

Stark mouth to her to still fire, something Tealle still protested with all her might. She held constant worry over her face. The two continued to have this back and forth on what to do, until Clayton walked back over to Stark and got his arms behind his body. Stark groaned in pain as he was guided elsewhere. Ebony saw this and attempted to kick Clayton. However, the large man was able to stop her and threw her backwards. A couple gang members ran over to Ebony and kept her suppressed.
