23rd metal . CTS spam

[ It's after Cassel's announcement that Zane can be found in the CTS.

The scene is medieval - or, ancient, anyway. Armor, swords, horses. A battle. As the door out of the CTS closes behind him, they surround him, weapons braced. He blinks back anguished emotion, and tosses back a vial of metals, and touches steel, pewter.

He launches into the air, and the fight begins.

There are hundreds of them, and only one of him: and yet. He slaughters them. He uses the metal they carry to Push and Pull himself; he is always faster, always stronger, and he is the utter picture of grace.

He kills them all.

And when they are dead, the bright green hill of a battlefield strewn with corpses, he goes into the forest. Braces himself against one tree and flings metal at another, a thud-thud of swords, knives, shields whipping and burying themselves into the bark. He Pushes, and Pushes, until finally the tree splinters and collapses, crashing slowly and mightily into the ground.

He keeps destroying the trees, over and over, until someone interrupts - or another army shows up. ]

I don't know how.

[She gives it pause, and thought, turning the sword in her hand. Finally she throws it down, hard enough to stick out of the ground, and steps toward him.]

All right.

[She wraps her arms around his shoulders just as he Pushes; her fingers dig into his shirt and the skin beneath, and she gasps sharply as her feet leave the ground. It's terrifying, for a moment - and slowly, beneath her clinging, there's elation growing.]

[When they drop, she has to struggle to open her eyes again. It makes her stomach roll, and she holds him tightly; when they land, she stumbles a little, steadying herself on his shoulders.]

It was-- [Something. She lets out a breath that's almost a laugh, and nods.] Yes.
youwillgotohell: ( smile ) (if I don't see the day)

It was falling. [But there's a smile.]
youwillgotohell: ( smile ) (I haven't lived life)

No. Then it was exhilarating.

[She hesitates just a moment, then nods.]
youwillgotohell: ( smile ) (and they made you kneel)

[It's like being in the air again. Her lips part and she looks at him, through him, feels freedom like she hasn't in God knows how long. It's exhilarating like nothing else, and she's smiling by the time he stops.]

I don't know how you can stand to ever come down.
youwillgotohell: (and the air in my lungs)

I'm sorry you didn't. [She's sorry she didn't get him something sooner.]
