Fandom Into the fire (1x1 MzHyde/Gallifrog)

[_gallifrog_]

"No prob" he shrugged it off like it wasn't a big deal. The wall art ranged from skilled like her and Elliott's pieces, to just random cartoon doodles, pencil sketches, and spray paint logos. Some people had wrote simples messages, others food reviews, others poetry, and in one corner there was even the opening paragraphs of a sci-fi novel. Elliott's favourite area was where a whole load of people had wrote coded messages with their own ciphers, he'd spent hours trying, succeding and faling to crack them

"This place does dessert, if you are interested?" He phrased it like a question, but he had already decided that he would be having one. And it would definitely involve copiuos amounts of chocolate. Somehow there was always room for a dessert, no matter how large a meal he ate in Macs.

 

[MzHyde]

It may have been no big deal to Elliott but it was to her. If she ate regularly it wouldn't have been such a big deal, but for someone like her? Major deal.

Hearing that they did dessert made her really happy. "Am I interested? Hell yeah I'm interested!" She replied with a grin and chuckle. She looked up at the menu and decided she could seriously go for some of the cake they had.

 

[_gallifrog_]

Her reaction was over the top, but it made Elliott smile "Trust me, anything with chocolate in it here is divine, I don't know how they do I, but it is unbelievably good" High praise from Elliott indeed. A.J. made his way over when Elliott gave him a wave. "you know what I'm going to ask for." "oh yes, I do" he replied with a knowing grin. "And you?" he turned to Kay

 

[MzHyde]

She smirked warmly with a slight raised eyebrow. "Did I seriously just make you smile mister I'm so serious??" she thought to herself. She was also impressed that he was capable of such high praise to something or someone.

When AJ asked her what she wanted she simply replied with "I'll have a slice of the cake, thanks!" Smiling. She couldn't remember the last time she had something like cake, and she figured if their desserts were as good as the mains then she'd be in mental heaven.

"I'm impressed Elliott... Not only have I witnessed such high praise come out of your mouth but I seem to have made you smile" she said cheekily.

 

[_gallifrog_]

Elliott was going to regret having done that. A.J. snorted delightedly at Kay's comment, "this one isn't as bad as he wants you to think he is, you should see him on gaming night. He is a riot" "don't you have a restraunt to co-run A.J?" Elliott asked one eyebrow raised. "yes, but engaging with the customers and making them like the place is an important aspect of my job. customer satisfaction and all that" he replied, dead back at Elliott.

"well these customers would very much like you to put your excellent vocal skills to use by asking Saoirse for her world class cake" Elliott deadpanned back. A.J. just laughed and walked off.

 

[MzHyde]

She laughed at AJ's response to her little remark. She felt what she said got under Elliott's skin just the tiniest bit and she revelled in it.

She loved how they bantered with each other. Particularly how AJ could just come back at Elliott with valid points. She looked back to Elliott when AJ left. "Good to know I'm capable of making you show a different expression towards me. That's all I'm saying." She chimed. "I want you trust me, and I'll do anything to earn your trust." She told him slightly more seriously, but warmth still in her tone.

 

[_gallifrog_]

"I'm not Spock you know, I do have emotions and expressions" of course Kay wouldn't know that he was alien, so his own joke made him laugh internally. He even made the Vulcan salute gesture with his left hand to emphasise the point. A.J. returned with two massive slabs of chocolate cake. It was chocolate sponge with chocolate filling, chocolate icing and even chocolate chips in the sponge. It looked as if it could sustain a village for a week. Elliott's came with a side of pineapple ice cream (for reasons unknown).

[MzHyde]

"I don't doubt that but I think just now was a first you showed any towards me", she pointed out, chuckling at his Star Trek reference. She may not have known the full extent to his choice of reference but she can appreciate a pop culture reference nonetheless.

"Wow" she couldn't help but say in a breathy manner when the cake was put infront of her. "Thank you AJ" she said. Sure, it seemed like a heart attack on a plate but she was to enjoy every single bite like it was her last opportunity to ever eat cake again.

"This looks amazing" she couldn't help but say once more before taking her first bite. Her eyes closed from the sheer joy on her taste buds.

 

[_gallifrog_]

Elliott just turned back to his cake without commenting. The cake was completely, utterly, ridiculously delicious. He ate the cake slowly, davouring every single bite. He somehow managed to make eating cake look like he was performing some kind of sacred ritual. There was a sense of reverence in his movements, and a strange elegance. His precise and dainty movements were in direct contrast with his rough exterior.

Eventually the cake was finished and literally every remining crumb and smear of ice cream had been removed from the plate. Elliott handed the plate back to A.J. "before you ask, it's the usual situation." As he spoke, he made a gesture with his hands as if to emphasise the point. Elliott nodded before responding "okay, I can do that. You want cash or card?" "Bring both, machine's been totally banjaxed all week, so I want to cover both bases" "message received and understood, boss" his tone was teasing, the joke was an old but faithful one.

The conversation may have seemed innocent, but A.J. had actually been passing on coded message to Elliott.

 

[MzHyde]

Kay ate her cake quietly as she was enjoying it too much. She'd never eaten something so good before. She noticed the way Elliott are his and it did surprise her.

She finished every last bite and was now feeling very full. "Man it feels good to be this full from food again!" she thought to herself, as Elliott spoke with AJ. She thought nothing of their conversation as to her it did seem perfectly normal. She felt bad she had nothing on her to give Elliott anything towards the cost, as of course that's all she thought when mention of paying for the food was spoken about.

She made a mental note to pay Elliott back somehow.

 

[_gallifrog_]

Elliott stood up to leave "well, we'd best be going then. I'll drop by in a few days to settle our score, yeah A.J?" "That works for me, make sure to pop in when some of the others are on shift. For some bizarre reason they missed you. I really can't see why" "Tell them I say hi"

As he made his way to the door, he walked past A.J. and said something that made the male's cheeks grow as red as his hair. Elliott laughed, at his expression and extensive blushing before waltzing out.

 

[MzHyde]

Kay got up and followed Elliott out. She found it weird the way he handled paying for the food but she didn't mention it. She just figured they had some kind of deal going on and let it not bother her.

She noticed AJ blush a bright shade of red and she found it oddly adorable. She wondered if Elliott had a thing for AJ or not as they exited the place. "Thanks" she said, meaning thanks for the food. "So...is it back to training now?" She asked, genuinely curious to what the plan was now.

 

[_gallifrog_]

He leant against the wall and considered his options. Too much training would probabaly make them get sick, not pleasant at all. Espescially considering how much they had both eaten. But if he drove arouns for half an hour or more they'd probabaly have suitable digested and he could do some more fun stuff on one of his old haunts.

Well old was the wrong word, he still used it, but it was one of his training grounds when he had started learning. "I suppose, but not in the alley, somewhere more interesting. Unless of course you have a better idea?"

 

[MzHyde]

She watched him figure out the next plan. Part of her hoped they didn't go back into training straight away, but the other part of her wanted to show she was serious about this whole thing.

Her interest piqued when he said they could do training somewhere more interesting. "My trust is in your hands. I do not have any other better idea to be honest." She admitted. It was true after all, she didn't have any better ideas on what to do. Not any that he would probably approve of. If she suggested something it'd be something mediocre that didn't relate to any sort of training whatsoever.

 

[_gallifrog_]

Okay, training it was then. "Get on the bike, then I know good training place, I personally don't like that alley at all but it is quite a while away." He replied. "Hold on to your lunch" he told her when she was seated and helmetted.

He wasn't joking when he said it was a long way away. He had to cut across the opposite side of the city, doing his best to avoid the tourist trap streets. He ended up cutting onto the footpath quite a few times and scaring a whole load of pedestrians. He drew up outside a construction site. The gates were locked with a thick chain and locked, and the whole site was surrounded by a high wall. It looked half abandonned as if the contractors had run out of money and simply abandonned everything there. There was even a crane, a modular metal structure stretching at least 70 metres up into the air

 

[MzHyde]

Nodding she grabbed her helmet and fastened it as she climbed onto the back of the bike and again, wrapped her arms around him. She smirked when he told her to hold onto her lunch.

As the journey went by she suddenly realised why he said that. It wasn't a problem for her. She burned through food quote fast thanks to her phoenix self. The scared tourists and pedestrians actually made her chuckle. She could be quite cold hearted in that aspect.

At their arrival she wasn't expecting to be at an abandoned construction site. She let go of Elliott and took of her helmet, looking at the site before her as she climbed off the bike. "Was not expecting you to bring me here. Consider me intrigued Elliott" she told him, giving him a smirk glancing at him before eyeing up the site once more.

"What exactly will we be doing here?" She questioned him.

 

[_gallifrog_]

Elliott dismounted the bike. "We're going to break in" he replied. Elliott came here often, and with the bike too. He made his way to a pannel of hoarding to the left hand side of the main gates. He gave it a firm kick and the pannel swung sideways revealing a whole wide enough to drive a motorbike through. It had clearly been added for the purposes of secret entry and exit.

He pushed the bike through the gap, gesturing for Kay to follow. The inside of the site was a mess of metal girders and partially constricted skyscraper frames. "I'm gonna teach to fall from any height up to ten metres and walk away from it."

 

[MzHyde]

"o-okay!" She replied to his comment about breaking in. Her tone similar to when John told her Elliott was his son. "Of course we are. Should have guessed!" She continued.

She flowed him when he gestured her to do so and she walked through the hole he created. Looking around the place looked like a death trap to her and she wondered for a split second if Elliott was pranking her. Then she remembered how serious he seemed to be most of the time.

She honestly thought he was kidding when he told her their purpose for being here. "You're joking right?" She questioned his sanity in that one question.

 

[_gallifrog_]

"I don't do jokes or emotions, remember?" he quipped with a hellish smirk. Oh this was going to be extremely fun. Clearly she thought he was out of his mind barking mad, but that wasn't exactly news to him. He always had been a little crazy.

And besides, how else was she going to learn to do parkour in dangerous situations without training in dangerous places? He voiced just that in his next comment "how do ypu expect to do parkour in dangerous situations if you don't train in them? And besides, it isn't as bad as it looks."

He gestured at the main remains of the skyscraper. "we aren't training up there, it'll just be down here, and mainly from the stable brick structures, not the girder piles"

 

[MzHyde]

She gave a sarcastic 'oh ha ha" facial expression at him when he said about not doing jokes or emotions, whilst giving her that hellish smirk. She fully well he did. When he said about training in dangerous places to get out of said places, she hated to admit it but he had a point.

She followed his gesture to show where they won't be training and she actually sighed with relief. "Damn you Elliott you make a good point and now I can't turn my back on this crazy idea of yours" she replied to him, giving him the side eye. This had to be a craziest challenge she's let herself accept for a long time.

"Woman you are just as insane as he is for agreeing to this" she thought to herself. "Okay...lead the way oh crazy one" she said, putting on that fake adoring tone of voice as she bowed to him in an over the top manner.

 

[_gallifrog_]

"If I was John I'd say 'you can't damn somebody who's destined for hell, luv' " his imitataion of John was bang on. He couldn't resist saying it, any mention of being damned made him think of that go to quote from his adoptive father.

"Don't you forget it, oh mentally sane one" He retorted and then launched into a sprint. He nimbly leapt up onto the pile of girders nearest to him, and ran across them, jumped the chasm to the next pile, his coat flying behind him. He ran again, then jumped, and landed on the roof of the brick building (that had once been a site office) in a roll.

 

[MzHyde]

Kay couldn't help but laugh that infectious laugh when she did his impression of John. It was uncanny how much he sounded like him. It actually weird made her heart flutter. "That was uncanny" she remarked.

She chuckled at his retort watching him sprint off and across until he reached the roof of the brick building. She couldn't deny it was quite the sight to see him reach the top so easily. "Why did I agree to this?" she thought to herself before she started her run and followed his route up onto the roof. It wasn't bad by any means but it was nowhere near as swift and agile as Elliott.

She looked around her surroundings and it somehow looked more daunting to her from up on the roof than down on the ground. She had no idea why it was daunting her, she had climbed sides of buildings before to get away but most of those times were using the aids of stairs of some kind. Maybe it was down to being with Elliott that did it. She felt pressured to be good and it was that that was making things daunting.

 

[_gallifrog_]

"I would like to state for the record that I didn't make you get up on the girders, you did that of your own free will" She'd copied him, probabaly just to prove a point when she could just have gone the regular way and climbed the ladder on the side of the building.

He started off by teaching her all the different ways to land in a roll, by having her practice a wide variety of rolling techniques on the roof. He taught her how to roll head on, backwards, and only using one side. Just like last time he made her keep doing it until it was perfect

 

[MzHyde]

"well I didn't notice the ladder until it was too late" she replied with sass but it wasn't malicious sass.

She watched his various tuck and rolls and this was one thing she didn't need to repeat too often as it was something she was naturally good at. Fucking, skidding across hard floor and rolling was usually her go to moves to out of tight spots when being chased. So she didn't even get out of breath when she was made to do it repeatedly until he was satisfied. The one she did the most times was going backwards as it was one she never really did before. She never needed to before so she never self taught.

 

[_gallifrog_]

From there Elliott had her fling herself off the building and perform more landings, starting with the rolls, then moving on to sprinting landings and landing is positions suitable to fire a weapon from. He made sure to catch her if she was landing wrong or bad injuries, but for the most part, he let her learn from minor injuries. The sun began dropping, casting long shadows over the site as he trained her.

At one point near the end a figure appeared near the base of the skyscraper. They were dressed in a hoodie and dark jeans. They were too far away for their face to be identified, but it was clear they were watching. Elliott and the figure locked gazes and Kay could almost semse something going bewteen them. With a mock salute the figure turned away and vanished into the growing shadows.
