[tCotR] Special Event - The Biker Rogues

[Kira]

"Ladies, ladies, sure we can share." Max said and put an arm over Kira's shoulder.

****.. Kira thought as she stiffened. She dug her nails into her hand to keep herself from punching the man. "Oh I might keep them both.." she teased, damn she was glad she was a good enough actor. "But even with both, they wouldn't be able to handle me." she said, her eyes sparkled.

"You didn't give us your name either sweetheart." Max added. "You sure feisty"

"Kira and this is Alexandrea." Kira replied, "And you have no idea how feisty I can be." she added with a smirk.

"Oh I got dibs on this one." Max said with a smile, his arm snaking around Kira's waist.

Kira turned away a moment, her eyes taking on the look of a cats. I can do this. she thought. It was for the greater cause of the city, they needed to find the rest of these bikers.

"Oh I have my eye on this one." Hubcap said, moving towards Alex.

"You going to buy us some drinks?" Kira asked, moving her body to the side. Using all the allurist charm she could to try and get them even more relaxed with them. "Could really use one tonight." she added with a bit of a pout.

Max smiled, "Sure thing sweetcheeks." he said, looking at Hubcap. "Shall we head to the bar then? We can have a wild time there."

Kira's shadow was wiggling around like a pissed off cat, she hoped Warrior would stay out of this for a change. She closed her eyes, stay calm. She would just beat up a gangster later to make up for not beating the **** out of this Max guy.

[Alexandrea]

Alex's smile almost gave out when the hairy Max touched her Kiwi. She wasn't sure who would be good enough for her friend but that rough biker was almost as bad as Windbag. She resisted the urge to stab the man and forced herself to smile more brightly.

As Kira gave out their names, it occurred to Alexandrea belatedly that maybe they should have discussed making up fake ones but it was too late now. She caught the flash of cat eyes on Kira and sent her friend positive vibes. *We can do this, just stay focused.* But then the one called Hubcap was announcing his intentions to claim Alex, even coming towards her. And it was Alexandrea's turn to have second thoughts. Another man's face swam into her mind and she wondered what he would say if he saw how she was behaving.

Steeling her nerves, Alex stepped towards the Biker that was heading her way and gave him a light touch on his powerful arm. "Well that suits me just fine, Big Guy. Considering I have an eye on you as well... "

Hubcap's face broke into a huge grin as he wrapped both arms around Alexandrea from behind and squeezed her a little too tightly. "Hell yeah! Now you're talking!" He said with what he must have meant as a friendly growl..

Alex swallowed hard and kept a smile on her face but in her head she was disemboweling this 'Hubcap' person...

Kira brought up drinking and Max asked Hubcap about going to some bar where there would be a wild time... Alexandrea fought down a shudder and just kept smiling as Hubcap squeezed her tighter.

"That's a damn fine plan, my man! Race ya there!" Hubcap had no sooner spoken those words when Alex felt her self picked up and carried to his bike. He plopped her down on the seat and got on in front of her. Alexandrea started to panic, she did not to even ride with Kira on a motor bike ever again but what was she supposed to do without blowing her cover? At the last minute, she remembered to put the helmet back on and as the bike roared to life, Hubcap yelled out to her to hold on and before she knew it they were racing off into the night...


Screaming in her mind, Alex sent to Kira; *KIWI!!!! Don't leave me alone with this guy!!!*

[Kira]

Stay focus, stay focus. ****! That was easy for her to say. Kira wasn't used to male attention. She bit her lip, trying to keep her mind off the man's arm around her. Though what distracted her the most was when Hubcap started to touch her friend.

Max grinned when is friend said he'd race him there and took off with woman. He looked to Kira, "Shame you have your own bike. I'm sure you want to ride it there. Just keep up." he said.

Kira's eyes widened when the big bald guy picked up Lexy and took off with her. "Ohh.." she groaned when she heard the screaming in her. Holy **** I hate when people do that! she thought as Dru was the only one who had a bad habit of yelling in her head. She twisted and turned, letting her hair fall to the side and forced a smile. "Oh you're right. I want to take my bike. I like being in control and who needs to keep up is up in the air, I was doing good until that trunk got in my way." she said with a grin.

She quickly grabbed her helmet, swinging her leg over her bike and burned rubber taking off. 'I'm coming!' she sent to Lexy, she could still see them and was racing to keep up.

Max grinned, "My kind of woman." he said before getting on his own bike to catch up.

What they drove up to she wasn't expecting, it was a hidden bar she suppose. Bar full of vampires? It begged to question if they knew they were vampires or thought they would be a midnight snack after they were done with whatever wild time they were planning. She gripped the handles tightly, she really wanted to stab something.

[Alexandrea]

Kira's voice in Alex's head helped the blonde to remain calm but she still clung to Hubcap for dear life. Why the hell didn't motorcycles have seat belts? Went through her mind every time they hit a bump. The road they were on was one that led out of town and it wasn't well maintained. So there were a lot of bumps. Concerned about dying out side of Harper Rock in case the rumors she had heard were true, Alexandrea arms squeezed the large biker even tighter.

Forcing her eyes to stay open as Hubcap seemed to increase his speed, all Alexandrea saw was trees streaming passed on either side of the road and she started to worry about the Fae. Just as her panic grew to the point of just jumping off and running home, a building came into view with a row of motorcycles parked in front. With a sigh, Alex started to settle down, it looked as if they had arrived.

Sure enough, they had. Hubcap parked the bike and was off of it before Alex could do more than remove her helmet, picking her up again as if she was just a doll. The biker set her on her feet then bent her over backwards with a long deep kiss that Alex would have loved to get... from someone else.

He still didn't let go, even as the other two bikes caught up to them. His hands went to Alex's butt and squeezed as he leaned down to whisper into her hair. "I really got a kick outta how tightly you were holding on to me, Blondie. Can't wait to get ya alone so I can show ya just how much..."

Alex forced her smile back and stepped away, playfully batting away Hubcap's hands. "Hey now, aren't you even going to buy a girl a drink first?" She gave him a wink and then hung her head upside down to give her hair a shake.

Tossing her hair around as she stood back up, Alexandrea walked over to Kira's bike quickly and sent another message to her friend. *Whatever happens, neither one of us can let ourselves be alone with these guys...*

[Kira]

Kira looked around, trying to judge just how far they were out of town. The extra what if floated through her head. She didn't want to find out if a vampire died outside the city limits couldn't return. Therefore if there were some who didn't want to listen to reform, could she really judge them to a life that might be gone for good?

She got off her bike, taking off her helmet and shook out her hair. She eyes narrowed at Hubcap but her friend had gotten away from him and Max fused over his bike a moment before the two men seemed to be talking, from what she could hear it was about them.

She crossed her arms. 'Agreed. Otherwise I'll blow our cover by making Max over there scream..' she replied to Lexy's mind, her eyes got darker with a wicked grin.

"Whatever you thinking my dear, you best put on a less twisted smile." Marcus voice said softly by them.

Kira froze a moment. "Good, you followed." she said.

"Yes but I might need to stay outside and watch from afar in case any of them can see wraiths." Marcus replied and stayed quiet as Max came over.

"What'cha doing over here? Let's get going inside." Max said with a grin.

"Just girl talk.." Kira replied with her best girly voice. Max picked her up and flung her over his shoulder. "****." she protested, biting her lip to keep herself from stabbing him in the back.

"What'cha say sugar?" Max asked, carrying her off to the door.

"Duck, I thought I saw a duck.." Kira said, I want to claw your ******* eyes out! Put me down you dumbass! she thought. She saw the doors behind them now, there was music playing and people talking and laughing. She felt him shift her around and toss her up on the bar top. Kira blinked, frozen there as everyone stopped talking and stared.

"What you and Hubcap bring us, Max?" the guy behind the bar asked.

"Couple of ladies looking for a good time." Max replied, "But first, you gotta entertain us." he said with a grin, looking up at Kira and waited for Hubcap to toss the other blonde up there.

[Alexandrea]

The disembodied voice of Kira's wraith still startled Alexandrea, no matter how many times she heard it. She knew that if she was hearing it, it was only because the wraith was willing her to and while that was flattering it was still odd to hear a voice coming out of no where. At least this one wasn't obsessed with playing with Kira's hair. She felt a bit safer too, knowing that the two of them were not completely alone.

With a gasp, she stepped back as Max tossed Kira over his shoulder and fought down the impulse to stab him. Hubcap was on his way so before she got the same bag of wheat treatment, Alex snaked her arm through his and rushed behind Max and Kira into the bar. Rather than set Kira down after they all were inside however, Max stuck her up on top of the bar. And before Alexandrea could blink, Hubcap had hoisted her up beside Kira.

Looking around at the leering men and suspicious women, Alex counted more humans than vampires. About 50% of the male bikers were still human and all the females were. That was good. If worst came to worst, Kira and her both could use mob rule as a way to escape if they had to. Besides Hubcap and Max, Alexandrea counted only 4 or maybe 5 other vampires. She couldn't be sure of one or two of them without getting closer.
Between mob rule and pacify, Kira and Alex might be able to hold their own with no more than four a piece but she still wished that they had more backup than just a wraith.

Looking over at Kira, she shrugged. The music and talking had all stopped as the four came in and as Max and Hubcap explained that her and Kira were looking for a good time, the mood of the room shifted. There was open hostility from the other females and a mix of feelings from the males. Some were just amused, some were bored and a quite a few were clearly thinking very lustful thoughts.

Hubcap shoved back a hand that had reached out to stroke Alex's leg with a mutter of; "Hands off, I saw her first." And a redheaded woman with a tat of a spiderweb on her neck shot Alexandrea a glance that if looks could kill, Alex would have been dead on the spot.

"So what are you stuck up bitches waiting for? You want to party with us? Prove yourselves." Said the same redhead.

Alexandrea just grinned playfully, the woman didn't scare her but the situation did. It was better to play along. Turning her head to look down at the man behind the bar she winked at him as she asked pleasantly; "Well how about a little music to set the mood?"

The bartender grunted and turned the power back on to the jukebox just as a new song started, "Wild Thing". Alex smiled, good. A song she would have no problem getting in the groove to dance to. Just so long as she kept her eyes on Kira... and the edge of the bar. And the music began, Alex let herself forget about the jeering crowd and got into the groove, swing her hips and shaking her money maker.

*What happens after this, Kiwi? So any ideas?* The message was sent mind to mind as Alex mouthed the chorus while looking at Kira, careful to make sure none of the men though she was directing it towards them..

She spun around but kept her steps small, wary of the narrowness of the surface that they were dancing on. With a roll of her shoulders and a flip of her hair, soon it was easy to really start to enjoy the dancing and pretend that no one else was watching.

[Kira]

Kira studied the room, there were a lot more humans there then she would have liked but the odds might still be in their favor with mob rule. She wasn't liking the looks that were coming their way, expressly by a few of the males. She gave a glare to the redhead, thoughts of what she could do to her passed through her mind. Bending the body in ways it wasn't suppose to, breaking bones, the screaming...

She pulled her mind from that dark place when Lexy asked about music and "Wild Thing" started to play. This wasn't the first time she danced on a bar. She did sometimes with the Beef Cakes, which was simply because she got lost in a song and they knew how to coax her along to dance with them, she couldn't help it.

She wasn't just mouthing the words, she was singing along as she danced. Forgetting that her voice had a luring effect on people. She seemed like a different person once lost in a song. The voice in her head snapped her out of it though, "I'm not sure. See what happens after this..?" she replied in her head. She grabbed Lexy, twirling around so they were on different sides of the bar and dipped her for a finishing pose for the song.

Max grinned and grabbed Kira which she quickly had to right Lexy to make sure she didn't drop her. He grabbed a couple of beers from the counter which Kira did not want. She hated the smell of it. Max held Kira against his side. "That was great. Should do some more bar dancing later." he said.

"Eh ha ha...right." Kira said, faking a laugh. "Listen Max...what's with all the humans you have here. Thought this was going to be a vampire party.." she said, showing off her fangs with a wicked grin and running her hand up his chest in a tip toe manner with two fingers. She rather have the humans out of the way.

Max looked at her with a dumb founded look. "You know.." he said, eyeing her fangs. "You're like us. Hey that's even better." he said, grinning now as the new report of the biker gang showed up on the TV over by the bar.

"Yes, it is better...but we really like to talk to the all the vampires at the moment." Kira said, working her charming ways against him. "Just get rid of the humans then the real fun can start.."

[Alexandrea]

Alexandrea actually was starting to enjoy herself, and when Kira dipped her at the end of the song she starting laughing. That stopped as soon as Max grabbed Kira again and Alex's eyes shot daggers into the back of the biker's head. Two strong hands were suddenly around her waist and before Alex realized it was Hubcap she jumped.

She landed on her feet on the other side of the bar next to the bartender. Hubcap scowled at her and his voice was mean when he demanded to know why she was acting like she didn't want him touching her. Thinking quickly, she winked at him and leaned over the bar to give him a view of her cleavage.

"Just playing around, Lover. We'll get to the good stuff soon. I still want that drink first."

"Then get back on the other side of the bar, Blondie." Growled the barkeep as he set two more beers down in front of her. Alexandrea blew him a kiss and walked to the end of the bar to go around it, swinging her hips all the way back to Hubcap. She picked up one of the beers and started to drink it before the man could grab at her again.

The news was playing the segment about the biker gang again and apparently the gang seemed amused by their notoriety. The bartender even turned off the jukebox again and turned up the sound on the tv. As Hubcap watched the screen, Alexandrea pulled out her phone and went to crownet, bringing up the city's most wanted list then tapped the rouge vampire on the arm to show it to him.

"See that? That's the price on your head. Harper Rock is full of vampires that would gladly hunt you and your friends down just for sport but with cash like that being offered as a prize? Sweetie, you and your pals here are all in danger. But lucky for you, two bad girls like us are just the right ones to help you out."

As Hubcap looked over the bounty list, Alex saw him swallow hard. Good, it was sinking in. Shifting his gaze back to Alex he looked suspicious and doubtful about her offer to help until she gave him a fangy grin and showed him her razor claws, after setting her beer down, carefully making sure both were for his eyes only.

"Well that explains why your friend over there didn't end up road kill the first time we saw her. But how do I know you two aren't here to try and kill us and take that bounty money for yourselves?" Hubcap asked gruffly.

Blinking once, Alex wasn't sure what to say to that. It never occurred to her that his mind would go in that direction. The very idea of her being a bounty hunter was ludicrous. "Because I have spent too much time on that list myself and been hunted down because of it. I can share my memories with you if you don't believe me."

"********. Prove it." Was all the reply he gave, and so she did. Placing one slender hand on each side of his face Alexandrea closed her eyes and shared with the man what it felt like to be hunted down by a gang of vampires and murdered.

"But, you are still here? So what's the point?" The biker seemed unimpressed with the experience Alex had shared so she went on to let the memories of the Shadow Realm flood into his mind. "That's the place where you go when you die when you are a vampire. And if you are not in Harper Rock, there ain't no coming back."

[Kira]

It took some convincing but Kira got Max to shoo out anyone that was human. While this proved to be an issue if they needed to use mob rule against them, it made sure that no humans got hurt and they weren't talking about vampire things in front of them, then again, they already knew that much no doubt. And they weren't happy about leaving, which required more use of Kira's powers to sway them to leave.

"Alright, the real reason to have them leave is that this is vampire business." she said to Max. "What you have been doing, is bringing a lot of unwanted attention to our kind. You gain a bounty for everything you are seen doing, and don't think just because you don't see anyone or a camera around, doesn't mean that someone won't know."

"What the hell are you going on about?" Max asked.

Kira took out her phone and pulled up the bounty list. "Every single one of you, that's the bounty on your head. There are groups of our kind that will kill without a second thought. We're here to teach you before its too late. This place may not be close enough to Harper Rock, if you die out here, you may never come back. Otherwise, sure, if you're in the city and die, after a week you can return. But the shadow realm is an awful place. It may change you, it may do things to do you.."

Another biker was listening in, he grabbed Kira's arm. "Why the hell should we listen to you?" he said.

"Snake.." Max said, he didn't like the sounds of this shadow realm but he didn't care if he had to fight some group though.

Kira grinned, "I'm not completely against kicking some *** to get my point across. I would prefer it really but this was suppose to be a teaching mission." she said, "Let go of me."

Snake tugged on her arm, "We'll do what we want and no one is going to tell us any differently." he said.

Kira punched him, and kicked him between the legs before kicking his head so he fell over. "I only warn once." she said, but what she did gained the attention to the others. She retreated to the bar and jumped up on it.

"Let me repeat what's going on here.." she said, explaining again what she had told Max. "You're bounties are high. Working hard to lower it may not be enough, the bounty hunters don't give a **** if you're lowering it. They will kill you for any amount at all. The only other ways off the list is to cripple a person or flee the city until it lowers on its own."

"It's no skin off my back if you are all slaughtered but someone made you without teaching you how this city works. Bringing attention to vampire kind is dangerous for us all. Humans as a whole are not ready to know about us." she said.

Snake recovered, glaring at her. He went to grab her leg to pull her off the bar, Kira reached down, setting his face on fire, making him scream. He covered his face as she sat down on the bar, her legs swinging back and forth. "I suggest you stop.." Kira said, in her eyes she wanting to make the man scream some more so she just dared him to try again. When he reached for her again, she damaged his mind. One of her favorite powers that made people scream in pain. She pulled him to her with his back facing her, holding a dagger to his head. "Are you my test dummy? Want to show the class that crippling works to get one off the bounty list?" she said with a wicked smile.

[Alexandrea]

"That's the place where you go when you die when you are a vampire. And if you are not in Harper Rock, there ain't no coming back."

Hubcap stared at this tiny blonde who seemed to be full of surprises. He wanted to question what he had seen in his mind but he couldn't. Deep down a part of him knew it was all true and somehow that kind of sharing of memories, whatever the ability was that allowed the woman to do it, couldn't be faked. That small woman, had really been through all that. Several times from what he could tell.

Unknowingly, he took a step back from Alexandrea and looked her up and down again but as if for the first time. He wasn't sure what was harder to believe, that she had caused enough trouble all by herself to be hunted down like she had... or that it had taken as many to bring her down as it had.

The biker shook his head. Despite popular stereotypes, bikers were not idiots. Hubcap himself had a Master's Degree in American Literature. Half the gang had some kind of formal education, and the boss himself had a Doctorate in Psychology. Which he made good use of some nights, with this bunch. But despite what his logical mind was thinking, his gut believed the little blonde.

Th other blonde must have been telling Max much the same thing Alex had just told him but another one of the gang had interjected himself into the conversation. The one called Kira didn't beat around the bush but she did put the hurt on ol' Snake. Several of their brothers started to get up and move menacingly towards the taller blonde even as she got back on top of the bar like it was some soap box and began to tell much of the same things that Alexandrea had just told him.

The mood in the bar had shifted and Hubcap could see that most of his gang either didn't believe that Kira woman, or just didn't care. He leaned over to Alex and whispered; "Can you do that share memories thing again? With the rest of the gang?'



Alexandrea watched with dismay as the human began to leave, she caught on that Kira had something to do with it and worried that her friends' magical energies might be running low. She couldn't understand why Kira would want the humans gone, they would have been useful as a mob if Kira and Alex had needed to make an escape.

It all became clear however, once the feisty blonde had stood up on the bar and addressed the gang all at once about the Bounty list. Alex groaned softly, Kira was getting out of control...

And as one biker reached up to try and yank Kira down, Kira set him on fire. With a gasp, Alexandrea shouted into her friend and sister's mind: *KIWI! ENOUGH!* Right as Hubcap made his request. Alex closed her eyes and sighed.

"I don't know Hubcap. Maybe one at a time... but I've never tried to share my memories with more than one other mind at one time... "

As she was speaking, Alex was moving towards the biker known as Snake. She placed her hands on his face gently and willed him to heal, replenishing his blood and trying to soothe his spirit. She shot Kira a look that simply said. 'Not cool, Kira. Not cool at all...'
