Were people shouting? Aliza couldn't tell as she plummeted down, wind rushing past her ears while she constantly drifted in and out of awareness. She was vaguely aware about the fact she was falling, but the woman just couldn't muster the strength and control needed to have her chains pull her back up in the air. Maybe that was for the best, really. The ground would be quick. Quicker than anything the Dusk could do, quicker than languishing about the fact she still wasn't strong enough, despite all her training. Closing her eyes and letting her tears get caught in the wind, Aliza smiled. She wasn't afraid.<br/><br/>As if God answered her predicament, Aliza suddenly felt a strong arm wrap around her waist, holding her tight. For a brief moment, as the opposing momentum met her, she was weightless, staring at Rashida's confident expression. The breath got caught in her chest in that singular moment, before time and gravity once again resumed and let Hercula land safely. Aliza's chains impacted around them, leaving small craters in the earth from their weight. Stunned, Razorstorm looked around the clearing, both surprised and shocked that the Dusk were gone, just like that. Against all odds, they somehow won, despite Aliza's own failure to save Sam.<br/><br/><span style="color: navy">"Babe, you are heavy."</span>Aliza's blushed softly at Rashida's whispered words, turning her attention back to her rescuer.<span style="color: grey">"I..."</span>she stammered, the haze and lust from the blue Dusk goo still clouding her mind, still soaking her clothes. She slowly leaned in, eyes half-lidded. Shocking back to reality, Aliza's stopped herself from kissing Rashida at the last moment. Pulling away and fiercely blushing, Aliza untangled herself from Rashida's arms, stepping unsteadily away, almost falling over.<span style="color: grey"> "I-I'm sorry, I d-didn't mean...I n-need a shower."</span>Between her embarrassment, the fog in her mind, and the fire in her loins what Aliza meant to be a quick dash away was little more than a stumble, dragging her chains with her and likely leaving Rashida confused about what was up with Razorstorm.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
