Relentless | Will

[Violet Schultz]

"Likewise," she said, willing him to understand. "And that's exactly why I need your word. If one of those knives hits me, I can recover. If one hits you, that might not be the case."

This was something she wasn't going to budge on. She sometimes struggled with being able to relay her feelings verbally, but his empathy would probably pick up on her worry for him, and a fierce protectiveness that made her want to hide him away from this until the danger was past, even though she knew that he could generally look after himself. Her eyes lowered as she tried to find the words to express her fear for him. She knew that it would be a challenge to get him to agree to this, but she also knew that she had to try to stop this before it cost him his life. If it was just an average enemy, she wouldn't push so hard for this, but they both knew that Virage was equipping herself specifically to combat him and that she had no problems with killing.

"I will not be the reason that something happens to you," she said, returning her eyes to his face. "But I'd appreciate a little help in keeping you safe. How would you like it if I jumped in the way of a regular gunshot that was going to hit you? You would be upset because you could recover far more easily from it than I could. This is the same sort of situation, only with the roles reversed."

She didn't know if she could get through to him with her words, but she was a pretty stubborn person when she wanted to be. There would be no going forward until this was resolved, and Violet wasn't going to be distracted from it. He would stand by his word, since that was the sort of person he was, but she didn't trust him to exercise the caution that he needed to protect himself.

Will looked at Violet for a few long moments, before he nodded slowly and bowed his head; "Okay... I promise Violet." he said softly,with more than a little worry tainting his voice before he leaned back in, kissed her cheek and hugged her closely, as both a sign of giving his word, and of his own worry about this all...


"We need to get back to the tower, I think Olivia's safe for the moment, so far she's just targeted me directly, at least until she attacked you, but we need to get you back up to full strength as well as getting our-self's ready... We need a plan, a good one, and we need it fast..." he said as he looked over his shoulder in the direction of Titans Tower, a few ideas slowly coming to mind as he thought about the situation and how it stood now.

"Alright," Violet said, glancing over at the safehouse. "But are you sure that you want the other Titans involved? This fight seems kinda... personal."

Granted, Raven would definitely come in handy if he wanted her involved, but with the fact that Virage was making this fight targeted specifically at Will and the people close to him, she wondered if he might want to deal with this between just the people who knew all of the specifics already. She would never want to enlist the Titans to deal with Elias, just because it was a fight that was personal and she didn't really want the others to become intimately familiar with the reasons for the falling out between them. He might want his privacy respected in the same way.

She walked over to the edge of the building and looked down. Ordinarily, it would be no problem to get down there without powers, but it was a really bad idea to use parkour when one was lightheaded. She had never tried transporting someone other than herself with her newly discovered ability, so they would have to get down separately. She looked back at him and nodded her head down to the ground to indicate that they should meet up on the ground and vanished in a flair of lavender. She reappeared on the ground and looked up to watch him come down.

Will shook his head; "Not if I can help it, this IS personal, and that's what bothers me the most about it all, that and as powerful as she is, there is something... Broken about her, I don't know what, but I can sense some kind of fault in the emptiness her mind is to me..."


Looking over the side Will was debating on asking her if she wanted help, but then she used her new little trick, and he shrugged, hopping over the side and landing in a crouched roll, before standing up and looking over to Violet; "Okay, first things first, we get to the tower and get you back to full strength, then we try and piece together a plan to combat her, and then... We wait..."


In all honesty, Will did NOT want to wait on Virage, but then he could hardly track her as well as he would have liked, so the best and likely fastest course of action WAS to wait, which was going to be nerve wracking at best...



Time to get back to the Tower.
